' J cm ' Sli TTS A GI-ilCUL TURAL COLLEGE The Alumni of the Massachusetts Agricultural College To attempt to give an accurate account of the work of the alumni and the various professions and vocations in which they are engaged, would require much time and far greater space than we can take in this book ; but the extent and scope of their work can, perhaps, be shown to some extent by grouping them in classes and mentioning some of the leaders in each class. In professional life, in the practice of law, some of our alumni have achieved great prominence ; for instance, James H. Webb, ' 73, of New Haven, is a man of great influence in the state of Connecticut and one who, on the Constitutional Convention of last year, had, perhaps, greater influence than any other. He is not only a noted attorney, but an instructor of Law at Yale Law School. Lemuel Holmes, ' 72, of New Bedford, is Judge of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and Judge Lyman, of Northampton, Mass., is our instructor in Rural Law at the College, as well as judge. A. AV. Dickinson, ' 74, who died a few years since was well known in the courts of New Jersey. Among our alumni prominent in the medical profession, are Dr. Joseph E. Root, ' 76, of Hartford, Conn., who is a man noted as a physician, surgeon, and specialist in nose and throat troubles, many persons coming long distances for treatment in his specialty. He is Secretary of the Hartford Medical Association and also a member of the Board of Health, has written several books, and holds a high social position. Dr. Joseph N. Hall ' 78, Denver Col., is a noted specialist in heart troubles and Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the University of Colorado. Dr. John A. Cutter, of New York City, also deserves mention. THE INDEX: VOL. XXX I V As professors and instructors, we have such men as Prof. Washburn, ' 78, formerly President of the Rhode Island Agricultural College ; Prof. Charles S. Phelps, for merly at Storrs, Conn., who is widely known throughout the state, especially among grangers; Prof. Horace E. Stockbridge, ' 7S, Professor of Agriculture in Florida; David P. Tenhal- low, ' 73, Professor of Botany and Vegetable Pathology at McGill University in ' Montreal ; Green, ' 79, Professor of Horticulture in the University of Minnesota; Chapin, ' 81, Professor of Biology in an Ohio University; Taft, ' 82, Professor in a college in Michigan, and Stone, ' 82, now President of Purdue University. Among our more recent graduates, E. A. White, ' 95, at the Con- necticut Agricultural College ; and R. D. Hemenway, ' 95, Director of the School of Horticulture, of Hartford, Conn., Avhich, according to the officials at Washington, has the largest and most systematically con- ducted system of school gardens in the United States, may be mentioned, and there are to be added to this list the names of Wellington, ' 73 ; Brooks, ' 75 ; Paige, ' 82 ; Stone, ' S6 ; Cooley, ' 88 ; Smith, ' 94 and Howard, ' 94, who are all now members of the Faculty of their Alma Mater. In veterinary science, we have such men as Frederick M. Osgood, ' 78, Professor and Surgeon at Harvard Veterinary School, and Charles H. Higgins, ' 94, Pathologist to the Dominion of Canada. In entomology, Charles P. Lounsbury, ' 94, who is Government Entomologist at the Cape of Good Hope, Africa; A. H. Kirkland, ' 94, Entomologist of the Bowker Fertilizer Co. ; Burges, ' 95, Assistant State Entomologist in Illinois; Harold Frost, ' 95, who is widely known as an expert in Entomology and tree pruning, and many others. In practical life, G. A. Parker, ' 7( ' ), Superintendent of Keney Park, Hartford, Conn., stands preeminently above all others in the United States as landscape gardener and park superintendent. He has not only the- best collection of park reports in the country, but has what is unquestionably the most extensive and best arranged special library of this class in the world. He constantly receives letters from all over the MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE world and is consulted on subjects in his line by the leading specialists all over the United States and Canada. He is State Park Commis- sioner and holds several positions in the American Park and Outdoor Art Association, as well as in other associations for the advancement of park work. Dr. Edward W. Allen, ' 85, Vice-Director of the Office of Experiment Stations, Washington, D. C, is one of our alumni who is well known all over the United States, at least among experiment station workers; Charles S. Plum, ' 82, Director of the experiment station of Purdue University; Wheeler, ' 87, Director of the Rhode Island Experi- ment Station; Hills, ' 81, Director of the Vermont Experiment Station; Lindsey, ' 83, Chemist at the Hatch Station at Amherst and others. William H. Bowker, ' 71, President of the Bowker Fertilizer Company, has revolutionized the fertilizer business. He is known the world over. Among our prominent journalists, Herbert Myrick, ' 82, stands at the head as an editor of agricultural papers and magazines. He is also a publisher and author. Daniel G. Hitchcock is editor and proprietor of the Warren Herald. Among the prominent florists, are E. D. Shaw, ' 72, and W. R. Pierson, ' 01, Cromwell, Conn., who with his father has the largest floral establishment in New England. We have no space even to mention the names of the successful civil engineers, chemists, druggists, mechanics, electricians, dentists, teachers and superintendents, traveling men, ministers, business men, manu- facturers, seedmen, farmers and market gardeners, stock raisers, creamery managers, gardeners, horticulturalists, landscape architects and gardeners, book keepers and farm superintendents. Even a brief account of them all would fill a volume. In fact, the scope of the work that is being done by our alumni is equal to that of any other college, even though older, and each alumnus who has gone out from the college is, in his sphere, to a greater or less extent, a center and an advertise- ment for the Massachusetts Agricultural College. This fact among our alumni can be shown no better than by the statement that, out of thir- THE LXDEX: VOL. XXXIV teen or lourteen hundred alumni and former students, there has but about one really turned out badly. Certainly few institutions in the country have as enviable a record. Students and alumni alike, each of us has reason to feel proud of the showing which our alumni are mak- ing in the world. The alumni of an institution and their work must show to the world the value of that institution. The positions that our menareholdin ' o and their influence in nearly every state in the country, in our possessions and in Mexico, Brazil, India, Turkey, and japan should be a means of inspiring undergraduates and of helping them to appreciate the broad educational advantages at the college. The alumni are showing to the public that the old idea, which some had, that an agri- cultural college taught one simply how to hoe, plow and rake, is certainly a mistaken one, and that men i-eceive a broad fundamental knowledge which is a foundation upon which they can build many different kinds of employment. With a broad and substantial foundation, there is little danger of being wrecked by the severest cyclone, although some injury may be done. No one realizes, better than the alumni themselves, the value of the fundamental training at their Alma Mater; and no body of alumni of any institution in the world, of the size and age of our institu- tion, is more loyal than the graduates of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. H. D. Hemenwav, ' !)o. Editor ' s Note In regard to the preceding it is only fair t(5 state that the editor was able to give Mr. Hemenway a very short lime in which to complete the article. In that time — it was only a week, and Mr. Hemenway was more than usually confined by his own work — it was of course impossible for him to get together all the data that he should have had. If theie- fore, the names of men in some particular locality seem to occupy MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE more space than those of some others perhaps as worthy of mention, it should be remembered that the writer had no notes to which he could refer and very naturally would mention those with whose names he was most familiar. As Mr. Hemenway himself says in a letter to the editor: — To do justice on an article of that kind, I ought to have spent a month in collecting data which should be absolutely correct, so that none of the leaders, at least, would be omitted.

Of the earlier years we will say nothing. Everybody knows our histor} ' as Freshmen and Sophomores. They know how. as Freshmen, we won the campus rush, and raided the vineyard, the watermelon patches and the cider mill ; and how as Sophomores we planned and fought for, and pinched the Freshmen ' s rope. They know of a thousand things that go to make up the history of the first two years of a class in college. Returning to college for our Junior year we settled down to hard work and, save for two or three small breaks, remained at it for the entire year. The first of these breaks was our Junior class supper tendered us by the class of 1905. This was held in the United States Hotel, Boston, and was remarkable not only for the good supper and grand good time, but for the fact that every man in the class was present. The next break to the monotony of a year of study came on the day we visited the Springfield Brewery and the pulp and paper mills at Holyoke and Mt. Tom Station. And so passed the year. With the summer each man followed his own path. Pa staid in Amherst and ran the college. ' ' Steve staid also and made the weather, and a mighty poor job he made of it too. Four of our classmates, who for some time past had been under the eyes of the International Medical Missionary Association, were taken in hand by that society and sent to Goshen and there received their first instructions as missionaries ; and, THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV if rumors are to be depended upon, next year they are to go to the Philippines as medical missionaries, providing the association sticks to its agreement and furnishes the four with a quartet of young ladies for wives and helpers. Two of the class spent the summer in putting New York City on the bum, while Philly, the cow-puncher, spent a couple of weeks with Prof. Lull hunting for fossils in the Bad Lands of Wyoming. ■ Benny spent the summer chasing bugs and it is reported that he caught one. William ' ' Waldorf visited Washington, D. C. , and reports the President and Congress as doing well. And there were others of the class doing other things. The opening of the fall semester finds us all in our places and the class increased by the addition of three valuable men from Connecticut State College, Messrs. Lamson, Osman and Harvey, making a total of twenty-five men in the class. We have begun our Senior 3 ' ear in good shape. Not a man in the class has a single condition; as Professor Miles said, A remarkable record for this class or any Senior class. Yes, ours has been a remark- able record from the start to the present time. Let us unite in keeping it up to the end.

Massachusetts, Naughty-four! ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Class Colors — Maroon and Drab MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Junior Class History THE time has passed when we should be known as Satan ' s own and the haughty, naughty, sporty, naughty-four. We are now a class upon whose shoulders the dignity of upper classmen for the first time begins to settle. No longer is it ours to receive instructions from our guardians, but to take beneath our sheltering wings the greenest, not the freshest, class in college, and by our example and precepts, attempt to remodel its members until they too become worthy to enter the Kingdom of Dignity. But we were not always thus. We, likewise, have had the pleasure of climbing goal posts, of singing enchanting songs and dancing the high-ki-ki-ki. To say the least, those nightly entertainments were decidedly varied. Yet- this period of servitude lasted for but one short year. As Sophomores, we found an ungainly class (the maidens ex- cepted) to subdue. They out-numbered us three to one, and yet were we not disheartened in this sore extremity. Much to our disappointment Prexy abolished the rush, but if hazing were not against the rules we might relate how, with the aid of the vaulting pole, Percy was rudely pulled from his bed ; how Tinkham caught the little pigs for our amuse- ment and came near delivering his speech in the Hash House. Were we sure that none of the faculty would read this, we might also explain why the freshmen went into the pond in the ratio of eight to two, and how it happened that Munson took his sitz bath, although poor D. Nelson flitted about the banks in vain attempt to save him. But we must not mention such as these ; the memory of them alone is ours. However, our ingenuity was soon called into play to discover a rope with which to practice for the pull. That didn ' t bother us ; we had men who knew just inhere and how to get it, just as we have had men who knew how to find other ropes not mentioned. Although we lost the rope Prof. Cooley kindly bought us in our freshman year, and although the team now against us was 20 per cent heavier than ours, we THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV were determined to win the ' 04- ' 05 contest, and win it we did! But let it be known that we chopped up the Freshies ' practice rope first. Unlike the class of ' 71, we did not water the elms in front of South College with our cider, but, being very generous, gave to all who came. We then — well, we just filled ourselves, and had a jolly good time cutting up the finest rope seen on the campus for many a year. In football we claim no great victory. As is known we lost to the Sophomores in our Freshman year. Experience counts everything in a game and it was against experienced men that we had to play again in our Sophomore year. So, notwithstanding Mike ' s well earned touch- down, an unkind Fate had willed it that neither side should win, and the game closed with the score a tie. In baseball, we lost twice, although both times the game was so closely contested that it was necessary to play more than nine innings. It is in basket-ball that we glory. The Sophomores could not down us in our Freshman year and thus we won the privilege of smoking our pipes in peace. As Sophomores, we won from the famous team of ' 02, which had held the supremacy for nearly four seasons. We won also from the Freshmen, who had previously beaten the Juniors, and thus ours became the champion team of the college. It seems ver} fitting that our protectors should leave, as they passed the college portals, this legacy to console us. Unlike the banquets of some classes, ours have been great successes. Wishing to see more of the world and at the same time visit an historical spot, we took a straw ride last winter to that City of Visions — South Deerfield, and became amusingly happy as we progressed with our banquet. Even the Deacon partook in a social way. We need not mention the toasts; we never again expect to hear any so strikingly original and witty. Our greatest success in the banquet line, however, is the way in which we broke up the Freshman banquet in Springfield. As they were peacefully enjoying their feast, in rushed some noughty- fourites, and in the contest that followed several dishes were broken. This according to college traditions made their first attempt at banquet- ing a failure. It would hardly be fair to our learned professor of agriculture to leave unmentioned the delightful outing he gave us last spring. A soil-inspecting trip, he called ii ; but with us it resulted in ■ ' a hand- MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE waving trip. This, boys, said he, is a good example of glacial action, ' ' but Chicko did not hear; he had become infatuated with the pretty school-marm at the foot of the hill. Indeed, so became we all, and were in a similar condition every time we passed a house from the Avindow of which peeped a modest damsel. But, alas ! The joyous days are past and gone, when Griffin dis- covered his crucible and Fat ' ' took off his foot-gear. No more shall we have to manipulate our compasses so that our figures shall come out straight. The bell in the chapel tower has tolled them into the past, and each new stroke is hurrying us into the future. We have returned from our vacation to continue with our work, and although the tradition would have us believe that In Junior year we take our ease. Smoke our pipes, and sing our glees. we cannot help feeling that such pastimes are not for us. Already we are beset by that ever present goblin of the Junior class — Physics. Already we have grappled for the supremacy. Shall we succeed or shall we fall? We shall succeed! . c. if Billy so decrees it. Our past has been hinted at. What of the future? That lies shrouded in darkness, only to be revealed to us as we advance step by step. Although our class has lost nearly half of its original members, we who remain are courageous and strong, ready to meet whatever may come. We cannot treat the last two years of our life at Massachu- setts as we have done the first two. We, as a class, need not be ashamed of ourselves. Intellectually and socially we rank well. We have noth- ing to fear. We will still be a class full of dash, but let that dash be more intellectual than physical. Let us keep up our good work and fight to the finish. Then indeed shall we become loyal sons of Old Massachusetts. THE INDEX: I ' OL. XXXI J ' Members of Junior Class   f Ahearn, Michael Francis .... South Framingham ■ Plant House. C.S.C. R.A. M.

TURAL COLL EC E Sophomore Class History A YEAR has passed since we entered these college walls and it behooves us for the second time to offer our histor} ' to the Index. It is a source of great pleasure to us that we are no more the troublesome Freshmen of a year ago, but rather an active and popular class of Sophomores. During our Freshman year we noticed a wild animal roaming about the campus, and one of our members undertook the difficult task of naming the beast. He succeeded in classifying him with Ungulata Mammalia, sub-order Artiodactyla, section Suina, but as we had not then had the pleasure of listening to Prof. Cooley ' s very interesting lectures on hogs, he was unable to carry the classification further. He then went on to say that the disposition m some quarters to visit con- demnation upon our esteemed President for hiring this undeveloped specimen of a doubtful species as an instructor was uniust. The class of nineteen hundred and five as Freshmen were a suc- cess in every way. We wished to make ourselves the only class in college; and in order to do so, we resolved to win every class contest. It so happened that all the games took place before our plans matured, and if I remember correctly, our class won but a single victory. In the rope-pull, it was our rope from the start, but our opponents succeeded in capturing it by means foreign to our Freshman ways of doing business. Our football team was a credit to the class, and although we did not win the victory we showed the opposing class that we were not ignorant of the game. My diary states that ' 05 was defeated in basket-ball by ' 04 ; the score was left blank. In baseball our plan to win matured before the game. It was ' OS ' s day and beneath the folds of our pennant, serenely floating from the flag-pole, our team battled. They battled not in vain; for that night in Springfield the class of ' 05 assembled to celebrate with a class supper the successful close of their Freshman year. 46 THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV This fall, when we took upon ourselves the important duties of the Sophomore, we found every member of the class in his place, notwith- standing the trials and tribulations of Math. Thus, with our ranks full, we started out to teach the Freshmen a few of the college customs. The night that college opened it rained, and as we have always paid strict attention to the sanitary condition of our campus, we started out that night to wipe it up. We looked around for material from which to make mops, and as the Freshmen seemed the best we could find, we used them. The progress of our class along intellectual lines has been great. We have men from the best preparatory schools in the state, and men who come directly from work to obtain an education. Even though we have lost a few members, we are not discouraged ; and with the hope of electives in our Junior year, we steadfastly believe that in 1905 we shall graduate a large class. In conclusion I would like to say that even if we did not accomplish much in our Freshman year, we learned to know each other and to become acquainted with the college, which we love and respect. Old Massachusetts stood by us during vacation and we were glad to return to its beloved walls. The sight of the chapel, of the campus, of the dormitories, and even of the college pond, brought back former recol- lections, which will never be forgotten. Now, as Sophomores, let us work together, not only to elevate our class, but also to raise ' • ' Old Massachusetts ' to the highest. W.

CH USE T TS A GR COL TURA L COLL E GE Freshman Class History ¥ WE arriv ed in the prosperous city of Amherst a little over two weeks ago and took our examinations. Some of us passed the examinations in a way that made us feel like a six-inch cat that has just wriggled through a three-inch knot-hole. The first day I got here papa and mamma found a little room for me near the college, with a motherly old lady. Mamma cleaned up my room and put my things in order. The salts and herbs she put on the shelf near the bed, and the rest of the things from my uncles and aunts she packed away in different places. Papa told me not to fear the Sophomores, and if they tried to conduct me to an evening bath, to tell them who 1 am and my father ' s position and influence. Mamma told me, when I should go to the Hash House for my meals to be very polite and not to ask for anything, but wait until it was passed to me; so you see for a number of days I did not get much to eat. Mamma and papa left me that afternoon all to my lonesome. The only thing I could do that day was to lock my room and to start one of those eight letters a week that I had promised to write to mamma. It rained the day college opened so that every blade of grass was revived to its original color that we might not present too strong a con- trast to Mother Nature. After the first recitation our class met the ' ' terrible Sophs at the door of the recitation room and by Gosh — • (mamma told me not to use such strong language as that) I mean-er Well anyway, we went through them so quick you would have thought they were a lot of cornstalks. After that rush, in which we lost only one cap and one cuff, we decided that the Sophomores were not so terri- ble as often represented. But how short-lived is such a victory we were soon to learn. At midnight of the first night the Sophomores gathered on the campus and began to yell for the victims. So the Freshmen came out in the rain. THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV and wet rain at that, to silence them. [That is twenty-four Freshmen did, the rest must have had stage fright or an attack of homesickness.] In the first charge our twenty-four met and held their thirty-five, but after that: O. my! The less said the better. But we will meet them again when we, too, shall have football shoes and nose guards. Before that, however, they will feel our strength in a rope-pull, where they cannot out-number us. In one thing we are the equal of the Sophomores now, if not more than their equal, that is in Co-Eds. The Sophomores have two and we have two ; but if it should come to strife between them, the Sophomores will have to step to one side. We now have three men in the choir and five men on the football squad, but we have not been here long enough to tell as yet how many we shall have on the team. Yet there is little doubt but that we .shall be well represented in every department of college, when once we have had the opportunity. The wise fools will soon learn that we do not fear them, as much perhaps as they wish. In the contests that are soon to come, our endeavor shall be to sink the class of rJ05 into oblivion. F.

Completing his college course there in 1900, he is now a member of the Class of 1903 at Harvard Law. Mr. Jennings has been more or less inter- ested in football ever since he completed his lower grade studies. He played for four years on his High School team, in his Senior year serv- ing as captain of the team. In his Sopho- more year at Dartmouth he was a substitute, and for the next two years a regular halfback on the Varsity team. He is well remembered there yet as a hard man to tackle and a big ground gainer. The fall after his graduation he was the Dartmouth coach. During the early part of the fall of 1901, Mr. Jennings was not officially connected with any team ; but his interest in football was unabated and he made a study of the MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE fine points of the game. In the latter part of October he was persuaded to take charge of the Massachusetts team and his coaching is to be ac- credited with the greater part of the success with which we closed the season of 1901. This fall he has again had full charge of the team. The Jennings strap, a photograph of which appears below, is of his inven- tion, and both the Dartmouth team and our own have found it of great assistance to the runner. The coach has gained the love and respect of every man on the team. If we must say good-bye to him this fall, the whole college will do so with great regret, but with the heartiest of good wishes. May he be as successful in everything that he undertakes as he has been in football. God speed. Captain Manager . Assistant Manager Charles P. Halligan . Philip W. Brooks Clarence H.

Hodgkiss THE IXDEX: VOL. XXXIV Review of the Year ¥ A YEAR without something gained is a year lost. Whether Massachusetts as a college has advanced during the past year, or has lost that year is a question of vital importance to the undergraduates and of great interest to the alumni. Advance that is marked by change, so it is with that subject in great part this article has to deal. At the beginning of the college year several changes were noted in the corps of instructors. Professor Maynard failed of re-election to the chair of Horticulture, and later Professor Waugh, then a member of the faculty of the University of Vermont, was called to fill the vacancy. Professor Waugh comes to us with a splendid record. He is comparatively a young man, and bids fair to infuse new life into one of the important courses which the college offers. The position of Instructor in French, left vacant by the resignation of Professor Babb was also filled during the summer. Mr. Herrick, Amherst, ' 02, is fresh from college himself and appears to be imbued with a fine enthusiasm for his work. He has offered an elective course in the Spanish language outside the regular curriculum of sttidy, of which members of every class in college have taken advantage. Professor Lull, formerly Assistant, has been made Associate Professor of Zoology. At present he is com- pleting a course of study in New York City. His place at the college is being filled temporarily by Professor Loomis. The fellowship in chemistry has been awarded to H. L. Knight, ' 02. D. N. West, ' 02, has been api)ointed an instructor in mathematics and free-hand drawing. MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Last year the first college catalogue was issued. This is a great improvement over the old method of publishing matter in connection with the college along with the official reports of the experiment sta- tion, etc. The military department is in good condition. Last year a rifle team was selected and it competed in a match with teams from several of the other land grant colleges. Although the team did not get first place, it did well for a first performance, and something better ought to be looked for this year. The band, under the leadership of M. H. West, ' 03, has developed into a very creditable state of perfection. The State Legislature, during its last session, gave to the college a very generous appropriation for two new buildings. One of them, the central heating and lighting station, is at this writing ready for use; and the new boarding-house is expected to be ready for occupance after the Christmas holidays. The new athletic field also seems to be an ac- complished fact and it is hoped to commence work on it in the near future. It is almost certain that the class of 1905 will have the benefit of Junior electives. This will also make it possible to make the Senior year a little more comprehensive. For instance, the course in Zoology will not be ended in the Junior year, but will probably be made an elective to Seniors. Two new co-eds have entered college this fall. They are, however, taking the special two-year course for women instituted this fall, in stead of the regular four-year course. The Freshman class, while not as large as that of last year, is above the average in point of numbers, and contains good material. The fraternity conference still continues to do good work. Last spring a series of informal dances were given in the Drill Hall under its auspices, which added much to the social enjoyment of the student body. Last spring, too, college singing was instituted. A song-book was pre- THE IX HEX. roL. xxx r pared, leaders appointed, and good work was done along that line. It is hoped that the scheme will be continued during the coming year. The Nattiral History Society, the College Chemical Club, and the Journal Club are in process of reorganization. Something new in this line, a Horticultural Seminar, has been instituted in that depart- ment and bids fair to become as valuable an addition to the course as is the Journal Club to the course in Entomology. Athletics is discussed in another part of the book. Here it is enough to say that we were never in better shape in that respect than we are at present. Everything considered, we are justified in sajnng that the year 1901-1902 w£LS a prosperous one, and that the prospects for 1902-1903 are bright in every department of the college. .f ' ..;;, V; ' S ■■ ' •■ '  ■■■ - ■ ' . ' •• THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV A Letter ¥ Dearest Francis : — I ' m so tickled that college is to open soon that I can hardly contain myself. You know I never could work much when I had anything on my mind, as I always seemed to have when working at the plant house. I really believe I wouldn ' t receive more than ten cents if I was paid for the time I actually worked. Do you suppose that Mr. Drew caught on to our loafing last year? What scrumptuous times we two did have together ! I tell you what, I never did have so many ex- citing times as I had last year. What if the boss knew we cut work that day! But then, there was no better place to get so fine a view as from — well, you know. Oh, say! Have you got one of those pictures Mr. took of me? If not, I guess it ' s the only one you haven ' t of me. It is too sweet for anything. The pose and expression is out of sight (excuse m} slang; I am mortal). Even Esther thinks it ' s fine. Well, Francis, I don ' t seem to think of much news, but you can ' t expect to get long epistles every time. I am going to steady down a little next year and do some good hard studying, and stop going to dances. Dances! You don ' t know what joy that word brings to me; I do so love to dance. But that, yes, and all else that shall tend todrav ' my attention from my books, I shall guard against. You just watch me as I sit in the tower window next year and see if my eyes are not ever on my book. Well, I must close. Yours until college opens, and then — yours if yours you can keep me, Bktiv.

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Esther SKows the Insect Collection to Some Fair Visitors ¥ Esther (pulling out tray of Arachninds) — These insects here are scorpions, millipeds, centipeds, and er-er-a-cyclops, I think. These (pulling out another tray) are the Odonata. Visitors — My! How ferrrocious they do look! Esther — Weill guess you ' d think so if one of ' em stung you. I have heard that they sometimes sew up people ' s mouths, so when I ' m out coUectmg I always run when I see one coming, for it would be terri- bly inconvenient not to be able to speak to the boys. (Pulling out Or- thoptera tray). Did you ever hear of the Praying Mantids? Visitors — Yes, to be sure. Esther (pointing to the male crickets) Well, those are um. After exhibiting a few other trays in the same entertaining manner, she finally pulls out the tray of Hemiptera — the true bugs. Esther — I suppose you ' ve heard of Macrodactylis subspinosus (the common rose beetle). Visitors — O yes! yes! (aside) What does she take us for? Esther — Well that is it, (pointing to Anosa trestis — the squash bug). You know they eat squashes, one of the fellows who works here says they have been known to eat a whole barrel of squashes in a single night. Visitors — Just think of it ! Esther — This, here, is a kissing bug. One of the fellows told me that it died a natural death immediately after kissing Bertha Allen on the lip. She was the co-ed who started in with the class of ' 03, 3 ou know. Visitors— O yes, we ' ve heard tell of her. She left college, did she not? Esther — Yes, poor girl. The boys were all timid in those days and used to run away every time she approached. I am glad they « arn ' t like that now. (Pulling out the butterfly tray). Did you ever hear of the gypsy moth? THE INDEX: VOE XXXIV Visitors — Why yes, yes! We are awfully anxious to see one. ' ' EsTHER(after searching carefully fora few minutes) — Ar-er-um-er, well, there ' s one here somewhere. I don ' t know where it is. These (looking at the labels) are the Col-e-op-ter-a, the beetles. I don ' t know much about these, but I don ' t think they are a bit nice. The dull ugly looking things ! It seems to me I ' ve seen that one some- where. Let me see what ' s its name. ( Reading label ) D-o-r-y-p-h or-a d-e-c-i-m-1-i-n-e-a-t-a. I ' m quite sure I ' ve seen that, where was it ? Visitors (laughing) — Why, don ' t you know the potato beetle? Esther — O that ' s it, how stupid of me. These, here, are er — well, er — Hyinoptera (stealing a glance at label), no- — Diptera, I mean. This is so confusing, the way these insects are arranged. Now these are the dragon flies and the may flies and the stone flies and the flies — why they don ' t keep all the flies together I don ' t see. (Pulling out another tray) This is the last tray. These are the bees and wasps. I am sorry I can ' t tell you as many interesting things about these as I did about the rest, but I haven ' t got as far as this yet. Visitors — We ' ll excuse you dear. I don ' t see how you can remember so much. Do you have to show the collection to many many people ? Esther — Well-er — yes. Quite a lot. I kind of like it. It is so instructive, you know, and then it gives one a chance to talk with some young man now and then ; these fellows who work here are horrid, they don ' t any of them come up to Mr. R. My! That makes me think, he hasn ' t written to me for most a week. I wonder if he has got another girl up there in Lowell? Visitors — So you really are interested in some one? Esther — Yes, but I fear I have lost him. However, I shall endeavor to find out as soon as college opens. Visitors — We hope you will. We must be going now. Thanks ever so much for showing us the collection. We have learned a great deal, especially about the Cyclops. A .-iss.

XXXIV Ode by Bill the Cook ♦ ♦ Last winter, there was discovered serving in one of the most important departments of the college — the hash house — a genius. For many years the poetic fire had lain dormant within the brain of Bill-the-cook. When it did break forth, it threatened to light up the universe. Had it not been for the editor of the Index there is no telling what would have happened ; for Bill was sending forth his gems at the rate of ten or twenty per diem. Recognizing the advantage of being the first to publish the work of this modern Shakespeare, the editor formally engaged him at his own terms under his own title as Poetry Editor of the Index. Unluckily the Poetry Editor did not return this fall, so we are able to publish only one of his effusions. A careful reading will show that Bill did not have the benefit of a college education, but we leave it just as it was written for fear of taking from it some of its strength and fire. In this selection, the author poses as a Freshman. Attention is called to the last four verses. The majesty of thought heie expressed has, we venture to say, never been equalled in this or any other age. But when a boy I attend to school And learn my lessons on my stoll I stood on the line at number one And it look if I was true To be a scholar in my youth And try to be a man I learn my lessons with good will And past my night school days And so my parnunts send me to the College on the hill To larn my College days I try in might and vain to gain the start On the line that once was mine But their were other men to smart That made me toe the line In the Fall of Sep the 19 college open And my class number 05 MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE But did not dare our mouth ' s to open When we saw Oi was a live And we select our captain wich was Porter And we all thought he was a corker But when the Soph got a hold of him He beg and cr} ' and shuk his wings The other ' s thought we was raising a other cain Because our class small and not able But small and true and a good name 04 will allways stand on the table. The other ' s Peck of the our class Got to gather for some fun So theire thought ' s was to the freshmen class And you can bet they had they fun They was made in to a big dog And bark like fools at the moon And then on the ground they went like a frog And beg to let them go pretty soon So off they went for a night rest With 04 might bless In the morning they rosd like a cubmembers But said we had the class of the college if we did not have the numbers Well we thought we have some more fun In the fall of 1901 When the North wind did hum We all got out and sung So in the pond they did wash Insilmenti and push The Soph did number it two And it was found to be true The} ' got together then And the freashmen number it ten The fol found it was so But they could not throw Soph or freshman in Well our fun is mose over And 04 will give advice THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV To the freshmen that will come over That dont be to bright and to fast Well good students dont decent In this wide world without conception The lessons you know comprehensible And then you will have your own denomination. ♦ A Type The editors do herewith swear that the following is a correct copy — names excepted — of a letter received by a member ot the present Junior class. It is only a sample of a batch received by him when he was a Freshman and did not know any better. We are sorr} ' not to be able to publish his reply. It must have been rich. My Own Dear Ted : Your little girl is lonely, all she can do is write to you, 3 ' ou are so far away, but dear heart you know the song Absence makes the heart grow fonder, don ' t you? And Ted, ra.y Ted, being away from you makes me realize how dear you are to me, how much I love you. (Do I tell my boy that too often? But no! ! ! Why should I ask that? It was, it is and ever shall be [be the] the truth and the truth must never be questioned. ) We, you and I, love, must write in all sincei ' ity, there must be no deceit between us, never, my love, never. You know that we intended to come down hei-e Thursday, but mama was so busy that she and I did not come until this morning and your letter was awaiting me; my sister, your sister got it for me. There!! Just now I took out your letter (guess where it was). No! I couldn ' t keep you guessing, dear, it was in my waist, and as papa was lying down on the grass near me, he saw the whole performance MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE and how he did laugh at his little daughter as he said So that ' s your post-office? Well, well! And your little girl blushed, dear, but I don ' t care, you have my heart and your letters have the right to lie near my heart, n ' est ce pas? O, I don ' t want to stay down here, take me away, dear, take me down to Maine, with you, I am not happy without you. Almost all summer and then all winter, O, love, what shall I do? But I will be true. And you, dear, and you? Ted, only remember. Sweetheart, that was a lovely way you wrote, O, dear I love you so. Why are you not here to tell me, tell me so while we are sitting side by side. O, Ted, my love! I can ' t write, can ' t do anything but dream, dream of you. And now when you come homnS from Maine, I want you for mine, want you to be sure to come down. Come and show them all that my boy is a noble fellow and that no summer flirtation takes my heart from you. But I am going to be good, going to belong to my Ted alone. And we can help each other to be good, dear, for love is sent from heaven, and you know, don ' t you, that I love you? When we were together, love, words were not needed, were they? Silence was golden. And I must do without you, do without your kisses, do without those dear brown eyes, that manly face upon which is penciled that story of a strong character, a pure true heart, a noble mind, never feel myself in those dear arms with your warm face pressed to mine, nor feel your warm breath upon my cheek ! But only for a time. Perhaps some time Well, remember that I love you ! No fine looking fellow can win my heart, it is all my Ted ' s. Know him? Well, he has the loveliest broad shoulders in the world and is the dearest boy in the world. Cease to care for him? Never, never, never. ( Three for good luck. ) On my graduation night you gave me my first kiss of love ; O, how I dreaded to have you go after that. It was truly the kiss that bound my heart to thine. Why ar ' n ' t you here? Only the breezes can touch my lips until you come, and then, yes, and then. Ted, how I love you! Why am I down here? O, I want to go home, O dear ! All summer. Ted, you must come down ! Don ' t worry, dear, about any of the fellows, but trust your little girl. Tell me all your thoughts though. Remember, Tedkins, when 136 THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV you are away, write often else I shall think the life of love is but a day, will you? And I shall answer as soon as I hear from you. O, if you only knew how lonely I am, how I long for you ! I don ' t want any one of the fellows here, I want you. What more shall I say? I am so homesick, homesick for my Ted ! Heart, be still ! There is an empty spot in my heart, if only to-night 5 ' ou were coming forever. But you ar ' n ' t. Where are you going, I wonder? Be true to me, dear! Be true ! I can ' t write any more, O, dear, what shall I do? My heart, mv heart, I am so lonely! Now, good night, O, why can ' t I kiss you. Beloved, I love you, I shall love you forever. Ted, good-night. I can see you now as you left me, when you said good-bye (not forever), your head bent down, sorrow in your eyes. I can write no more, my love, no more. Farewell, be good and I am always Your own true lassie. Saturday. MASSACHUSErrS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE ' - ' T o £ l JjLo cj : :-fefe.c- eAo jS y rd j:kiA ..

THE INDEX: ' OL. XXXIV De Light Brigade Dis ain ' t no war song, see ! I ain ' t goin ' ter ihrow no hot can about four hundred guys what would ha ' licked a whole army if dey hadn ' t all been killed before dey got to work, but if yer like, I ' ll tell yer how a half a dozen Sophs put thirty Freshmen on de bum and showed up de next day wid only one shiner. Well, as I say, dere were six uf us countin ' me ' n ' Tink. Tink was a great long gink wid de queerest display er cuss words ever put before de public. Yer see we got next dat de Freshmen was out fer a feed and we six started out to raise a roughhouse. We didn ' t know fer sure just where de Kids was goin ' te eat but we couldn ' t think of a more likely joint dan de Cooley so we sets out fer Springtown early in de Evening. When we gets dere what de we find but de grub all served and de Freshies gettin ' outside uf it as fast as dey could work dere maxillaries. Now we knew dat dat bunch was in de habit of gettin ' round te supper as soon after dinner as dey could make de connections, but le see em sittin ' down to a class feed at nine o ' clock was de limit ! By geewhiskers, sez Tink, Ain ' t dat somethin ' orfull ! ' ' Ain ' t it ! sez I. We sees dey was no show of catchin ' any of em outside so some one sez, Lets go in de door and tip over one of de tables, fer if we don ' t do somethin ' dey ' ll think dis smart trick of eatin ' early was too much fer us. By suff ' rin catfish, sez Tink, come ahead, and I knew by de way Tink brought out dat suff ' rin dat sumthin ' was up. So we sneaks up to de door and Tink pushes it open, but just dere he runs up against luck dat really made him say damn ' or ' t anv rate somethin ' dat sounded more like dat dan it did like liless us. X ' xi door would only open a few inches. I tought it was all oil hul ' IMnk was bound te do somethin ' so he reaches in, grabs de table cloth and MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE starts down de steps. De rest of us does a dutch fer de street when we hears de racket but we had time te see dat de guys inside who was supposed te be enjoyin a banquet was in some kind er trouble. By the great lop-eared swine, sez Tink, sounds as dough some body dropped a plate. Well me ' n ' Tink boots across de street, through a couple of alleys and up in te de news paper office. Say sez Tink to de guy what run de joint, if you ' d like te see de latest ting in crockery yer better drop down to de Cooley House. Dey ' s got a few second hand dinner sets day might be willin ' te part wid. Den we tells him how things was spillt and steps around to de other office to put wise de editor of de other paper. Dey both said dey ' d write up de job; so me ' n ' Tink starts out te find de push. But after doin ' all de likely dives in de city widout findin ' a sign of ' em we give up de search and went into an open-all-night lunch te get a half- dime feed an ' a woud ' rin ' all de time what had become of de other mugs. I- was just gettin ' me fangs inter a hot dog when Tink rubbers out de door. By gee wallapus, sez Tink. • What ' s de matter! sez I, jumpin ' up. But before I could reach de door, in piles four lobsters what looked as dough dey might ha ' been leadin ' a radder strenuous life, wid nobody else but Patsy Bowler bringin ' tip de rear. Well, by de great horn spoon, sez Tink, whose otermowheel- barrer has youse mugs been ridin ' in? Dey tried te tell us dere story, give us a song and dance, about makin ' speeches at de Freshman banquet what was den goin ' on at de Cooley. What we finally found out was, dat tree of um wid P. Bowler as disinterested specktater had called on de Freshies through a side door, and as de odds was only ten te one against ' em, dey was raisin ' Cain wid de Kids till de latter begins buttin ' out wid chairs ' n ' bottles. At dat, de head waiter, who was afraid some more of his dishes might get busted, blew de whistle an ' de mill was off. De visitin ' team got out when he told ' em he ' d put de cops next, and after smgin ' a few verses of dere class song out on de front steps, dey comes on up de street wii de applause of an admirin ' gallery ringin ' in dere ears. THE INDEX: VOL. XXXW When de story was all told Tink turns te me an ' he sez, sez he, By thunder we missed de fun. By thunder we did, sez I. And den we gets a piece of beef steak to put on dat shiner and all went to bed in de cheap joint around de corner. ¥ § 1 The Glee Club The past few years it has been a matter of much pleasure and en- joyment to the editors of the various periodicals and publications of the college to criticize the doings of the above. Therefore it is with great satisfaction that we are able to comment this year upon the extraordinarily successful season of 1901-1902. The Club had been strengthened and replenished by an influx of fresh young ooids, uncontaminated by the ruinous exactions placed upon a college student, such as singing in chapel every morning, cheering, etc., and after careful training and good preparation they started on their tour. As this was the first year for some considerable time that Massa- chusetts had been represented on the stage or platform, it was the occasion of considerable excitement at the different towns. The first engagement was at Waterlog, a short distance around. Here they were met at the station by a barge filled with straw, all the members were hustled in, the driver whipped up his horses, and off they flew before the great crowd which had gathered could catch more than a glimpse of them ; not, how- ever, before a triumphant cheer had broken from the mass, which served as a mighty inspiration to the boys. The auditorium was crowded to the doors which, being kept open, enabled a throng beyond to enjoy the spectacle. Standing room on the pavement brought seventy-five cents, the other prices were proportionate. The Waterlog Thunder Cloud 3IASSACHUSETrS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Stated in its columns the next morning that fully eighty thousand spec- tators had witnessed the thrilling sight. The program was varied, and interesting from beginning to end ; and a description of one would be a fair criticism of all ; it was repeated at each town with but slight changes. The first number was a song of welcome to the barnyards and corn- fieldsofthe DearOld Home, with imitations of the various sounds heard thereabouts; the bellow of the Jersey bull, by the capacious gay boy, with all the power of his expansive waist, was so realistic and terrifying that several of the children were awakened and it was with difficulty that they were quieted again. Leffenhaffenpuffer, with his droll imitation of the major of the bat- talion on parade, brought down the house, and it was some moments before silence could be restored. The tenor then sang the famous ballad Over the Rails to the Wood Lot. He struck out magnificently, but after going about fifty feet, he tried a bar and flew high but landed flat on a sharp cleff full of quivers. When he righted himself, his partner had a lead of five bars, but he struck out with new vigor and after an exciting chase with a few b ' s in the minor, he cleared two bars at a jump and tied the piano with a slur. The end of the strain was in sight now and he reached the last chord. With a magnificent burst of exulting power, he flew a hemi- demi-semiquiver, and landed in the topmost branch of a scrub oak, where he stuck. The curtain just then fell. But it would require too much time to mention the entire order of dances, sufficient to say the effect was Peleeic. At the town of Wartboro, the arrival of the Club was heralded by the booming of cannon ; and as the train pulled in a very mob of citizens stood with bared heads, while the now famous singers alighted. As they stepped from the platform, a bevy of the prettiest girls in town met them, and each taking one by the arm escorted them to the triumphal car, while a group of children scattered Syinplocarpus foetidus, and other fragrant flowers in their path. As they seated themselves in the car, a blare of trumpets announced the approach of the mayor, who in a graceful speech extended to them the freedom of the city and entrance into all the roof gardens ' ' free gratis. Then the procession started. A cordon of police followed by THE INDEX: J ' OL. XXXI!

Gentlemen, will you please come to order. Are you all here? {Looks over his glassrs). If any are not here, willth y kindly MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE signify that fact by remaining away. The first business is the report of the Secretary on our last meeting. The Secretary {reading). Friday, — , 19 — . The meeting was called to order in the absence of the President by Professor First Professor (interrupting). We know all that Mr. President. I move you sir, that the further reading of this report be dispensed with and that it be accepted. Second Professor. I second that motion, Mr. President. The President. You have heard the motion gentlemen. Those in favor will say aye; those opposed, please keep quiet, and the motion is carried. What is there to come before our high mightinesses this afternoon ? Third Professor. Mr. President, I have to report that Mr. Stu- dent of the class of has failed to make up the cutover work which was due from him last Friday. First Professor. I move he be expelled. Fourth Professor. Do I understand that he refuses to make up this work? Third Professor. — No, not exactly, but he has done only apart of the task set out for him and First Professor. I move he be expelled. Fourth Professor. I do not exactly understand the circumstances Mr. President. Is itproposed to expel ilr. Student because he has failed to make up certain cutover work? If so, I think the case ought to be considered verj carefully. Fifth Professor. I should like to say to the Professor that this is the only charge of which we have an} ' definite pr oof. There are, how- ever, some other things against the man which, if they could be proven, would be almost as serious. Fourth Professor. If they cannot be proven, I can see no use in considering them. The President. Let the Professor state what he means by other charges. Does the culprit smoke cigarettes ? Sixth Professor. Yes, I know he does, but he rolls them himself. Third Professor. How do you know? Sixth Professor. Well, he rolled one for me a few days ago. 146 THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV Seventh Professor. That doesn ' t signify anything. I ' ve done that for you several times. Sixth Professor. Who said it did signify anything? I was merely stating that he smoked, and that he smoked cigarettes, and that I knew nothing whatever about the matter and that he Eighth Professor. Well, what are we talking about anyhow ? Sixth Professor. I don ' t know. First Professor. Mr. President, I move that he be expelled. Sixth Professor. If the Professor means me Mr. President, I will tell him that I have as much right in this meeting as any Fourth Professor. Well, I don ' t see that we are getting on. Is there anything really against the man? Fifth Professor. He swears. I heard him say damn on the campus the other day. Sixth Professor. Oh, he may have said that for effect. I some- times do myself, you know. Ninth Professor. To say damn ' ' is not to swear in the state of Massachusetts anyhow. Chorus, . . . WHAT ! ! ! Ninth Professor. It has been so decided by the Gre. t and General Court. (At the word Court all rise and bow toward the City of Boston. The bow should be made by crossing the arms behind the back and bending forward three times. The first time the head should be lowered to the waist ; the second to the knees ; and the third time, the forehead should touch the iloor. Done in unison this is very effective. After the bow, all solemnly resume their seats). Tenth Professor. Mr. President, there are several things to be considered in this matter outside the character of the man himself. It has seemed to me, and I think that other members of the faculty must have noticed it {liere the First Professor leans back in his chair and goes to sleep) that a number of cutover cases have come before us this semester. Now if, as there seems to be, there is a general tendency among the student body to — to — well, if the gentlemen will excuse the word — to monkey with the cut system, I think with Shakespeare that — {the First Professor, ivho has leaned hack too far in his chair, falls over backward.) MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE First Professor (rising angrily). Mr. Pr-r-r-esident I move he be expelled. Eleventh 1 ' rofessor {who has been inattentive to the whole discussion). If the Professor means Mr. Student and not Mr. Shakespeare, I will second his motion. Mr. President, we have consumed {looking at his watch) nearly twenty minutes in considering this case. In that time we have had time to expel a half dozen Mr. Students. I call for a vote. The President. Gentlemen, it is my duty to put the matter to a vote. Before doing so, I would like to remind you that the sentence of expulsion is considered to be very severe by some people, and the student body might think it too severe in this case. Eleventh Professor. All the better. If the student body as a whole are tampering with the cut system, they ought to be punished, and this will be in the nature of a punishment to the whole college. If the man was deserving of expulsion in their minds, this v ould not be the case, but if they feel that the sentence is undeserved, they will feel it almost as much as Mr. Student himself. (The vote is taken.) The President. A sufficient number of votes for the expulsion have been cast. The President understands that he is to inform Mr. Student of that fact by letter requiring him to leave town at once. If there is no objection that will be done. Is there anything else to come before us this afternoon? Ninth Professor. I should like to ask the Treasurer if he is will- ing for us to take up the case of Mr. Under Classman. The Treasurer. I should like a few days further delay. I find, on referring to my book, that he is in debt to the college some six or eight dollars. I think it would be better to wait until I have had an opportunity to make an attempt at collection. Ninth Professor. O, I think there is no objection to our waiting a reasonable time. If there is nothing further Mr. President, I move we adjourn. My wife and I are going out this evening and I suppose an early supper is in order. Third Professor. I second the motion.- — {All rise, and while getting their hats there is too )nuch confusion to hear the President put the motion). (CURTAIN.) MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Individual Records of the Class of 1904 f f MICHAEL FRANCIS AHEARN was born in Sheffield, England, some twenty-three years since. He came to America when he was too young to know much about it ; and entered the Massachusetts Agricultural College with the Class of lyOl . He left college at the end of his Fresh- man year, and re-entered and joined the Class of 1904 about three years later. He is entitled to the M both in football and baseball, and also played on the college basket-ball team last winter. He is the captain-elect of both of the two latter MIKE Varsity teams. He was also a member of all four of the class athletic teams during his Sopho- more year, and can therefore wear numerals all over himself if he so desires. Mike is a miCmber of the College Shakespearean Club and of the Rope, Axe, and Monkey-Wrench, and is a Corporal in Co. A. ERNEST ADNA BACK happened over here in Florence twenty years before he entered col- lege, which was in IttOO, the same year in which he was graduated from Northampton High School. He is on the Index Board and has held the office of Secretary of the Class of 1904. Even now he is the Vice-President of the Y. M. C. A. As a corporal in the band, he cuts quite a figure, mur- dering music with a clarionet. Bill Back is chiefly noted for his blaclc Spanish hen and the certainty with which, in spite of his goggles, he can locate the San Jose scale. He is a member of the College Shakespearean Club. THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV FAYETTE DICKINSON COUDEN. This thing originated about May 12, 1880 in Madrid, N. Y., and has been on the move pretty much , ever since. As he prepared for college at the Bethel Military Academy, he imagines himself j quite a soldier and answers to roll call in Co. B Wr-- . ' with three stripes on his arm. In order to get SH k. A_ k ' rid of him some one persuaded him to play foot- H v ball on his class team, but he would not get killed r so of course didn ' t make much of a reputation in that line. Dick ' s a great talker with a superior Alias Dick, fund of anecdotes regarding his youth. He is Alias CooTZ, always sure to think of an exceedingly interest- Alias Mac ' s Wife ing one if somebody else starts to tell a story. If he doesn ' t like the knocks in the account of his present biographer he doesn ' t need to publish it for he is Editor-in-Chief of this volume of the Index. He has a hand in the general running of the college, being on the Senate, on the College Signal Board, a Director of the Reading Room Association, President of the Class, and has officiated at several football games. He is a member of the 1 E K fraternity, and of the Rope, Axe, and Monkey- Wrench. That ' s all. CLIFFORD FRANKLIN ELLWOOD first viewed the light of the world at Green ' s Farm, Conn. In 1899 he graduated from the South Norwalk High vSchool, and the following year attended Mt. Hermon School. He joined the Class of 190-1 in October, 1900, and they have had to stand him ever since. ICUwood wears glasses, but by great good luck that has not yet hurt his eye- sight in the least. He is a member of the D. G. K. fraternity and is on the fraternity conference. Last spring he worked Captain Anderson for a corporally in Co. A. It has been feared that he has leanings toward the Y. M. C. A. MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE JACK-THE-RIPPER JOHN JOSEPH FAHEY thrust himself upon the residents of the town of Pittsfield, January 16, 1882. He managed to graduate from the local High School in 1900, and entered college the following fall, where his winning smile and magnificent bearing won for him the favor of the Amherst maids from the outset. Jack is five feet twelve and a half inches tall and wears a derby hat. He played on the class baseball team, is a member of the College Shakespearean Club, and is the armorer of the Thompson House Ka- jets. His highest ambition is to get through with Physics and join the Engineering Corps of the Salvation Army. ERWIN STANLEY FULTON calls Nova Scotia his birthplace. He graduated, however, from the High School in Lynn, Mass., with the Class of 1897, and entered M. A. C. a year later. During his Freshman year he was on his class football, rope-pull, and basket-ball teams, being captain of the two latter. He left college at the end of his Freshman year, but two years later re- entered as a member of the Class of 1 904. In his Sophomore year, ' 04 couldn ' t do any better with him than ' 02 had done, so they let him act as captain of their rope-pull and basket-ball teams, HARVEY and also allowed him to play football with them. Harvey is much disposed to argument, and costs the Mathematics and Chemical Departments much expenditure of nervous energy. He belongs to the College Shakespearean Club and played on the college basket-ball team last winter. THE INDEX: ' OL. XXXIV year, for ' RALPH PRESTON GAY began life as a twen- t3--two pound weakling in Nova Scotia in ISSO. The rigorous nature of the clircate, however, was too much for the little fellow, and he was express- ed to Stoughton, Mass , C. O. D., at an early age. While there, among othei ' things he graduated from the High School, and decided to enter col- lege. He worked himself in with the Class of 1904, and being so small, he was undiscovered un- til it was too late to do anything about it. Fat is the proprietor of the college store ; has served his class as sergeant-at-arms and as vice-president, and was on the rope-pull team in his Freshman He belongs to the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, and is armorer de Bloke. ARTHUR W. GILBERT was born in West Brookfield, Mass., April 20, 18S2. Nineteen years later he graduated from the Brookfield High School and entered the Class of 1904- at the Mas- sachusetts Agricultura l College. He has played on the class football, baseball and basket-ball teams. Gilbert plays the bass horn in the band, and is a director of both the Boarding Club and the Reading Room Association. lie belongs to the College Shakespearean Club and is a hard worker in the College Y. M. C. A. He has a wise look that carries him through many a reci- tation without a flunk. The worst thing about him is his room-mate. MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE JOHN WILLIAM GFEGG let out his first yap in Weare, N. H., about twenty-two years ago. He graduated from the High School at Natick, Mass., in 1900, entered college because he wanted to, and has wanted to stay ever since. During his Freshman year he served as class secretary and treasurer and was again elected to that office this fall. He holds the same office in the Chemical Club. Has played on the class foot- ball, basket-ball, and baseball teams, and sports an M which he won in the latter sport. He is a member of the College Shakespearean Club, of the College Senate, and of the Fraternity Con- ference, and is an associate editor of the Index. Taken all together he ' s no worse than some of the other members of the class. THE HOODOO CLARENCE HERBERT GRIFFIN came to in Maiden, Mass., September 26, 1882. In the year 1888 he happened to land in Winthrop and liking the place he decided to remain and gradu- ate from the High School there. Realizing this ambition in 1900, the Class of 1904 at the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College looked seemly unto him and he fell all over himself trying to get here. Tad was once secretary and treasurer of the class and the treasury has been broke ever since. He played on the class football and baseball teams in his Freshman year, and as a Sophomore added tad the basket-ball team to the list. He is assistant manager of the college football team, a member of the 1904 Index Board, and belongs to the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and the Rope, Axe, and Monkey-Wrench Society. THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV GUTBRAND SIDNEY BURRITT HASKELL was born in Fargo, North Dakota, May 2i, 18SL When only two days old he made known his intention of making the Massachusetts Agricultural College his alma mater, and it was with that idea in mind that he moved to Southbridge, Alass., some time after. Eight years ago he flipped up a coin to see what class should have the honor of gradu- ating when he did. The lot fell to 1904, and consequently you can see his likeness on this page. Haskell is a member of the C. S. C, and plays in the band. FRED FORBES HENSHAW gave West Brookfield, Mass., the honor of being his birthplace because he couldn ' t help himself. He graduated from the Templeton High School in 1899, and waited a year before entering college. He early developed a huge taste for Mathematics and a huger fondness for a certain maid ' ' down home ' ' whom he speaks of as Dear Lucy. He has a younger brother down home too, who keeps his classmates well informed as to his adventures with the gentler sex. Deacon was on the rope-pull team in his Sophomore year. He is a member of the College Shakespearean Club, and is assist- ant observer for the College Weather Bureau. M.-lSS.-l CH C ' SE TTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE ZACH HUBERT was born near Pride, Ga., in 1877, twelve days after the ides of March. He was broug ht up on a farm until he was considered tall enough to go to the Atlanta Baptist College. Here he completed both the preparatory and the regular college course, and graduated in 1901. The following year he was bookkeeper for the college, which position he resigned to enter the Junior Class at M. A. C. only a few months ago. We don ' t know him well enough yet to tell any lies about him. ZACHARIAH FOR SHORT CLARENCE WATERMAN LEW IS was captured at Melrose Heights in J 882, when only a few weeks old. His taming was slow but sure, and in 1900 it was considered safe to give him a diploma from Melrose High School, and pack him off to college. The Class of 1904 was asked to take charge of him, and this they have done with a fair degree of success ever since. Chicko has been a valuable man to the class in athletics, hav- ing served as captain of both the rope-pull and football teams. He made the college football team in his Freshman year, playing first as full back, and for the last two yeai ' s at the half back ' s position. He is a member of the O. T. V. fraternity, of the Fraternity Conference, and of the Thomas House Cageits. He is the Holder of the Axe in the Rope, Axe, and Mo ;key- Wrench Society. CHICKO THE WILD MAN 56 THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV HOWARD DOUGLAS NEWTON was brought by a crazy stork to Curtisville, Mass., on January 14, 1881. He entered on life in a driv- ing snow storm and consequently has always had a taste for driving. One day he drove some stock into Stockbridge and remained there to complete a High School course. Graduating in 1900, he entered Massachusetts with the intention of specializing in • ' stock-breeding, and is here yet. In his Freshman year he was president of the class and a member of the class baseball team. He belong to the College Shakespearean Club, is corporal in Co. B, and an associate editor of the 1904 Index. GEORGE EDMUND O ' HEARN entered this mortal coil ' on the sixth day of June, 1880 in the city of Pittsfield. Mass. He prepared for college at the local High School, and entered M. A. C. with the class of 1903. When 1904 came in, however, he liked their looks so well that he waited for them to catch up to him, and bade farewell to his former running mates. He made both the college football and baseball teams in this Freshman year and has played both games ever since. He claims to be the author of the noodle book, but we don ' t coddik vouch for his veracity. Coddie is a C. S. C. member, one of the Thompson House Kadjets, and a member of the Rifle Team. He is also a rnember of the College Senate and of the Rope, Axe, and Monkey-Wrench Society. MASSACHUSETJS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE SUMNER RUFIIS PARKER claims to have been born in Brimfield, Mass., in 1882, and to have graduated from the Hitchcock Free Academy in 1900. He is noted for his constant cheerfulness, his dancing abilities, and his beautiful tenor. He comes from a good old Quaker stock and we feel sure we have caught him attending Y. M. C. A. meetings. Parker plays in the band and is a member of the College Shakespearean Club. ARTHUR LEE PECK is a native of Ansonia, Conn. Ansonia got too small to hold him, however, when he was thirteen years old, and he moved to the city of Hartford. He attended the Hartford High School for a time and then came to M. A. C. He has played on his class football and basket-ball teams, but we don ' t see what gave him the idea that he could play a cornet in the band. During his Sopho- more year he was class president. Peck is a member of the C. S. C, one of the Reading Room Directors, and a Sergeant in the band, and is the Business Manager of the Index. OLD SLOPPY WEATHER S THE INDEX: iOL. XXXIV RAYMOND AUGUSTIN QUIGLEY says he was born in Natick, Mass., in 1SS2. We believe, however, that his real birthplace is near Dublin, Ireland, and that he is a first cousin to Quigley Bros., knockabout comedians. It is certain, however, that he has lived in Brockton, for he shows a diploma from the High School of that city. Quigley has played on three of the class teams and on the ' Varsity football and basket-ball teams. He is also assistant manager of the basket-ball and baseball interests of the college, and if he don ' t get balled up in reading his own record, the writer will set up a high ball. He is a member of the C. S. C, of the Thompson House Gadgets, and of the Rope, Axe, and Monkey-Wrench. QUIG REUBEN RAYMOND RAYMOTH. This is the large.st man in the class, with the excep- tion of Fat, but he really doesn ' t look it. Way back in the seventies he began to make a noise in Pottsville, Pa., and as he learned to talk he hasn ' t quieted down a bit. After studying a while at the Central Manual Training School, Philadelphia, he started in to work, but gave it up for an easier life in college. He has since found out his mistake, but is going to stick it out. While he is supposed to be studying here, it is a noticeable fact that much of his time is stub spent up north, why we are not prepared to say. If you don ' t think he is an important personage, consider the following; Once our class president, twice its historian, twice on the Burnham Four, has sung in the choir, played on the class baseball team, is treasurer of the Y. M. C. A., on the College Signal Board, Assistant Manager of the Index, and a Corporal in Co. B. Besides this, Stttb sports a moustache and has even l)een known to raise a full set. He is a member of the D. G,. K. fraternitv. MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE PARKMAN FISHER STAPLES. This gen- tleman hails from Westboro, Mass., and was born there some twenty-one years ago. Completing his High School course in the spring of 1900, he somehow drifted out to Amherst within the next three months, and concluded to remain and study agriculture. The first thing he did after entrance was to join the Y. M. C. A. and the Bible Class, and wonderful as it may seem, he still looks fit. He played center on the class football team for two years, and has twice been elected vice-presi- TACKS dent of the class. Tacks has an idea that he has great musical ability. He is a member of both the college choir and the band, and sings the low bass no worse than he plays the trombone. He belongs to the College Shakespearean Club. CLIFFORD ALBION TINKER was born in West Tremont, Me., in 1877. His life history contains nothing of note until the breaking out of the Spanish War when he joined Battery D, 1st Heavy Artillery, U. S. V. A year after his discharge from the service, he entered Massa- chusetts with the Class of 1903. During his Freshman year he was captain of the class rope- pull team, played on the football team, was a member of the College Signal Board, one of the Reading Room directors, on the fraternity con- ference, and on the track team of that year. tink He was forced to remain away from college for a year, and began his Sophomore year with the Class of 1904. He pulled on their rope-team and played tackle on the class football team. Tink is a sergeant in Co. A., is secretary and treasurer of the Natural History Society, and is the artist of the 190i Index. He is a D. G.

CLARENCE HERBERT GRIFFIN, 0 A ' HOWARD DOUGLAS NEWTON, cv HIS, the thirty-fourth volurxie of the -INDEX, :s the work of the class of nineteen hundred and four. It has been the purpose of the editors to make it worthy of the class and Tvpical of the progress made by the college. Nothing withm these pages has been the work of any but members of the class, and no remuneration has been given to -y but the pnnters and engravers. The thanks of the board is due to Mr. C. A Tinker, the artlt who notwithstanding the fact that he left college at the beginning ott; Junior year loyally retained his position on the board and com- pleted tie seriJs of drawings, which he had begun during the sumrner vacation. With the exception of the drawing -presenting the Y M C A •■ the illustrating was entirely done by him. Mr. A. W. Gilbert ' of ■ the class also merits the gratitude of the board for his invalu- able aid to the business manager and his assistant, when the latter was unable by reason of his absence from college to attend to his duties. At the beginning of their work on the INDEX tne editors had two ideas paramount in their minds, the first, to put the book on sale before the Xmas holidays, and the second to be sure that the statistical portions of the volume be absolutely correct. At the present writing Their hopes in regard to the first matter bid fair to be accomplished, but there are still many difficulties to be overcome, ana a delay of only a ew days will be fatal. Very little of the work of preparation can be done until the fall term. Seven weeks at least must be allowed for the printing and binding, and consequently by far the biggest share of the abor necessary has had to be done within little more than a month. It need then be small cause for wonder, if the board is unable outside of their regular college duties, to find all the time needed to complete ' ' ' Trl - Zour statistics, we can not claim them to be perfect. Much of the data, especially as concerns the alumni is obtained only m k round-about way, and its accuracy cannot therefore be vouched f o . As an example of the difficulties in this respect take the alumni list perhaps tle ' most important part of the volume. At the beginning of i64 THE INDEX: J ' OL. XXXII ' the year a circular letter enclosing a blank to be filled out was sent to every alumnus. Ample time was given for their return ; and yet out of between six and seven hundred blanks sent, only about two hundred have been returned within the specified time. We cannot then but believe that the blame of publishing an incorrect alumni list rests not with the editors of the INDEX, but on the alumni themselves. To be sure some of the circulars may never have reached the parties to whom they were addressed, for if we had been sure of all the addresses there would have been little need of .sending for them, but in the majority of cases, there is in all probability no excuse. An attempt has been made to publish the names of the permanent class secretaries at the head of their respective classes, but as yet the list is iacomplste, and it is very likely, that with the time left at our disposal, it will be impossible to perfect it. The above is not written with any desire to shun adverse criticism where it is deserved ; but there has been so much said about the inac- curacy of our immediate predecessors that we desire to throw some of the blame where it properly belongs. As to our literary columns, we have only to present to our readers ' attention the fact that from five men selected from a class of twenty-three or four cannot be expected the same degree of work as ought to be looked for, were the class numeri- cally larger. Literary talent even of the smallest is a scarce article at best; and when we say we have done what we could, we have no other excuse to offer. With this account of some of the difficulties with which we have had to contend, we present this volume of the INDEX for what it is worth. ¥ ¥ ¥ The Cut System, For a little more than two years now the ten per cent, cut .system has had an opportunity to bring out its good and bad points, and that ought to be long enough to give both students and faculty a chance to decide whether or not it is a success. From the student ' s point of view (of course these pages present only the student side of every question), AJASSACHUSE ' I TS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGIl the system itself is a good one. The old method of going to the indi- vidual instructors with an excuse for every absence in the several de- partments seems a little below the dignity of a college man, besides leading to all sorts of abuses and misunderstandings. But the cut sys- tem, too, has its faults, and the onus of rectifying the worst of them rests with the faculty rather than the student body. The cut system as it stands is as follows: A student having fifty hours of recitation in a given department is allowed five cuts. Until these are used up no questions are asked; but with the sixth absence trouble begins at once. For a single cut-over, extra work either in the form of an examination or otherwise is required. So far so good. But now watch ! There can be no second over-cut. This is literally true. In other words, all cut-overs after the first nnist be excused by the faculty. In case of sickness an excuse signed by the visiting physician must be presented. I wonder if the gentlemen of the faculty ever stopped to consider what that means to a poor man working his way through col- lege. Suppose a man has some chronic disease which forces him to keep his room at intervals more or less distant from one another. He has had the trouble before ; he knows what the matter is and what to do for him- self. There is absolutely no need for a doctor unless some complication sets in ; and yet for the sake of keeping out of hot water with the faculty he must pay for at least one, perhaps two or three, visits of the physi- cian. The remedy? That is not the writer ' s business. Of course, we realize that some limitation must be set to taking cuts, but it seems man- ifestly unfair that a man who can afford to pay for the luxury of a visit from the doctor can lie in bed for a few days in peace of mind and spirit, while he who is using every cent he can scrape together to pay his way through college must drag himself around to a vSeries of recitations, make four or five flunks in as many hours, and then — swear at the cut system. This is only one of several evils that exist in the cut system as it now stands, and it should be understood that the students are responsible in some cases as are the faculty in others. There is always some one ready to take advantage of any liberties allowed him in this respect, and in consequence the faculty seem to have come to a point where they are in deadly fear that every student in college is trying to do them out of a greater or less number of cuts. THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV The McCobb Case. One of the great principles of the Anglo-Saxon race, a principle for which they have fought ever si:-.ce King John of England was forced to sign the Magna Charta, is the right of any man accused of any crime, great or small, to be tried by a jury of his peers, and the right to appear himself and .bring witnesses to appear in his own defence. It is then a cause for great surprise that a college faculty can still continue to try a man behind closed doors, neglecting even to inform the accused that his case is before them for consideration ; giving him no opportimity to defend himself; calling for no witnesses; in fact, acting as witness, judge and jury all in one, and end by imposing the sentence of expul- sion. And yet this is exactly what was done in the case of Mr. McCobb last spring. It cannot be pleaded as any palliation of this high- handed proceeding that a hearing was later given to Mr. McCobb. It was very, very much more unlikely that the sentence, once made pub- lic, would be repealed than that a fair trial in the first place would have had a very different result. Besides when the case was called up for re- consideration there was very little change in the nature of the proceed- ings. Mr. McCobb, to be sure, was called before the meeting and a few questions asked him. No one else was allowed to say a word in his de- fence, however, and he was excluded from the entire discussion that fol- lowed. It any member of the faculty had a word to say for or against him, he did not hear it; and the result of the meeting was sent to him by letter. Now what was the charge for which expulsion, the harshest sen- tence that can be imposed by a college faculty, was the penalty? In a word, overcuts; overcuts ' ' and nothing else. The facts of the case in as few words as they can be correctly stated are as follows. Mr. McCobb was a Senior on the verge of graduation. The work of the first semester of his Senior year had been done to the satisfaction of his professors. During the latter part of the winter and in the spring- he got more or less behind in his work, not far. behind, not so far but that it was reasonable to expect him to be able to make it up. His excuse? — Illness. On several occasions he was confined to his room for two or three days at a time. At times he had a physician, and at others MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 167 he did not. He overcut, and presented as an excuse the physician ' s certificate. He overcut again and perliaps again, not however, witliout sufficient excuse. But the faculty had had several cases of overcutting come before their notice of late and they began to fear, as one of their number afterwards said, that several of the students had combined to try-out the cut system. What should they do? A stop must be put to it at once. Who seemed to be the worst offender? McCobb. Well, he was a Senior, but so much the better ; the lesson would be so much the more forcibly impressed. Let the German professor set out for him a certain amount of cut-over work and let it be stiff, stiff. Now there is a certain Senior vacation coming the week just before graduation during which time cut-over and condition work may be made up by members of the Senior class. It would naturally be supposed then, that Mr. McCobb would be granted the usual privilege of waiting until that time before handing in this extra work. Sirch was not the case however ; it must be done at once. Now, as has already been said, without its being any particular fault of his own, Mr. McCobb was somewhat behind in his term ' s work. About this time too, his Senior thesis was due, but no allowance was made, he was given first a week and then three days more to write out the translation of a scientific treatise, which with all the knowledge of the German language which could be expected of him, was an unfair task even if he had no other extra work. It was afterwards shown, that on the afternoon of the day on which the v ork was given him to do he was seen taking part in a baseball game on the college campus. The writer knows for a fact that at that time he had absolutely no idea that he had anything more than the usual amount of cut-over work ahead of him. When he did find it out he more than paid for his two or three hours on the campus, by working by candle light into the small hours of the morning. Even the smallest attempt at investigation would have brought these facts to light at the time, but, to the shame of the faculty, no such attempt was made. On the contrary, the mere report of Professor Smith that the work had not been completed resulted in a notice being sent to Mr. McCobb that he was expelled from the college and required to quit the town immediately. Naturally much indignation was aroused among the student body. The Senior class appointed a committee to demand an investigation. A THE IiXDEX: VOL. XXXIV show at one was made, and the faculty met for a reconsideration of the case. The result of that reconsideration is stated above, and it would have been much more to the credit of the faculty if they had admitted their error and revoked their former sentence. It is the belief of the entire student body as it stands that the Honorable Faculty of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College were in error in the first place, in error in the second place, and much more open to censure than Mr. McCobb. To make the matter worse, uninterested parties outside the college began to circulate all sorts of stories to the effect that the real reason for the expulsion lay in something more than mere cutovers. This mat- ter was brought to the writer ' s attention very forcibly because some of his relatives, knowing him to be McCobb ' s roommate, began to fear greatly that his morals had been contaminated, and he had much trouble in explaining the real facts of the case. All such stories are, however, downright falsehoods. It was decisively stated to both Mr. McCobb and the Senior class committee that the faculty had no other hold on him than the fact that he had not done the work assigned him within the specified limits of time. Indeed, the first purpose of this writing is to give the lie to all stories detrimental to Mr. McCobb ' s reputation. He had, to be sure, several faults all too common among college men. Others he did not have; and, in the opinion of the undergraduate body, he was as much entitled to his diploma as were many of his class who did receive theirs. The simple fact that the faculty, on their second consideration of the case, decided that if he so desired Mr. McCobb could obtain his diploma by returning and completing the last half year of his work with the class of 1903 is proof enough that he was not expelled for conduct detrimental to his reputation or that of the college. ♦ ♦ Forensic Club It has Ijcen truly said that difference of opinion has alwa3 ' s been a powerful spur to liuman progress. Where can this difference of opinion be better cultivatt ' d than in our debating society, the Forensic Club? MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 169 Although the club for the past year has been smothered beneath the rush of our busy life, yet there still remains a glowing coal in our remembrance of its past history which is ready to burst into flame if it be given but the fuel of enthusiasm. This much is certain : for the past year this organization has suffered through lack of interest. It means hard work to get up a good debate ; it takes thought and time to present one ' s cause in a forceful and intelligent manner and to be able to refute the opponent ' s arguments. Indeed it is this very element which makes the club of such importance. It is here that we put into practice laws previously learned from text books, and it is here that we become familiar with the methods of procedure, not only in societies such as this, but in any meeting in which a knowledge of parliamentary law is required. With regret we note the fall of the several political organizations of college. Here is a suggestion. Under the auspices of the Forensic Club exceedingly beneficial debates on political subjects might well be planned to take place between the members of these clubs. Thus there would be a powerful spur of rivalry added to our debates which for the past few years has been lacking. When the club re-organizes this year, it is hoped that the fellows will take hold of it with that enthusiasm which shall make it one of our strongest organizations. We hav e the material for an excellent society and no end of interesting subjects. « f ♦ Athletics It is our pleasure in this volume to record what is perhaps the most successful year in athletics that Massachusetts has ever had. That is to say, our college to-day is better known among the New England colleges than it has ever been before. The credit, however, belongs almost wholly to the football team. At the end of our football season of ItlOl, we were surprised to find ourselves sixth in standing among all the New England colleges. Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown and Williams THE INDEX: lOL. XXXIV were our admitted superiors on the gridiron, but they only. During the season but one game out of ten played had been lost, and of the nine defeated teams but one had scored on us. At the beginning of the winter then we found ourselves with a reputation which, with our small numbers, we could sustain only by the hardest kind of work. Two or three years before there had been a basket- ball team in college. It was thought that now the time was ripe for its re-organization, and everything considered, we put a basket-ball team into the field that was a credit to the college. This being practically our first season in that field of sport, and from the fact that we did not belong to the New England League, we were able to obtain only four games with other colleges. Two of these were with Amherst College and were lost to a better team ; Trinity and Wesleyan, however, were both defeated by close scores. During the entire season we won five games and lost three, and scored a total of 191 points to our opponents 177 ; not a bad beginning to our basket-ball history. We have lost several good men with the class of 1902, but with the experience gained, there is no reason why we should not make a good showing in the sport during the coming winter. It is hoped, too, that we can secure admittance to the League this season, thus making it easier to obtain games with other colleges and obviating the necessity of filling up a schedule with Y.M.C.A. teams and the like. As opposed to our success in football and basket-ball, last year ' s baseball season is disappointing. But si.x college games were played; and five of these were defeats. To be sure none of the games were lost by large scores, and all of them were with colleges numerically much larger than our own, but this is no excuse. This same handicap in numbers works against all our teams. The truth of the matter is, that there was a painful lack of interest among the student body, and an absence of unanimity among the members of the team itself, that lasted throughout the season. Consequently, it is no cause for surprise that the baseball season of 1902, if not a failure, came very near to being one. Next spring will be a crisis in our baseball history. Another season like the last will almost strike a death-blow to the sport in this college; and this fact should be continually borne in mind by every student whether a member of the team or not. MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE With the coming of fall, however, interest in athletics became intense. The college hoped to put a football team in the field better than any that had preceded it, and thus far the work of that team has been all that was expected of it. To be sure the results of three of the games have not been entirely satisfactory. That with Holy Cross, however, was played on a very slow field ; the team was not far enough developed to make fast play desirable ; and though neither team scored, we showed ourselves much superior to the Holy Cross eleven. The Wesleyan and Tufts games came at a time when the team showed the results of over- training. In the case of the former, the Wesleyan team cannot be very proud of their victory, for it was obtained on a questionable decision and by a single point ; while, on the contrary, the result of the game with Tufts was disappointing from another cause. We ought to have won by a much larger score. Two games yet remain to be played. Worcester Tech. ought to be easily beaten, but the game with Amherst is another matter. This year, that college has a particularly good team in the field ; and we ought to be satisfied if we are able to hold them down to a small score. No matter what the results of this game, however, the football sea- son of 1902 has been a success. We have played all our games with colleges from twice to five times our size, and are therefore out of our class. Whether we can continue to do this year after year is a question. It is hoped, however, that two or three successful seasons will result in increasing the size of the entering classes, thus giving us the benefit of more material from which the several teams can be selected. 1 The Glee Club This year there is no such organization. It should not be under- stood, however, that the students now in college, are to be blamed for that fact any more than their predecessors. So far as we can make out there has never been a Glee Club. To be sure a number of names have heretofore been put down in the Index, and a picture has been THE INDEX: VOL. XXXIV taken supposedly representing such an organization ; but after that picture had been taken, the Glee Club was no more than the college choir, and we submit that hymns are no more like glees than the chapel organ is like the college band. The reason for this state of things is not far to find. The two organizations, the Choir and the Glee Club, have been too closely connected. One instructor and one leader have served for both ; the same night was used for rehearsals ; and instead of the interest centering in the latter as it should have done, the time of these rehearsals was almost wholly taken up in practicing hymns and anthems for the coming Sunday. The remedy, too, is at hand. There is enough musical talent in college, which, if properly utilized, would at least add something to the enjoyment of those entertainments provided for us by the ladies of the faculty during the winter ; and in a year or two something more could be attempted. Some one with musical training and ability must, of course, be at the head of the thing, but it is not absolutely necessary that every member of the chorus should be able to read music. A man with a voice and some little ear need only practice to enable him to carry out a part at least satisfactorily, and there are enough men in college who have the necessary training to act as instructors and the foundation on which those not so well instructed can lean until they become familiar with their own parts. Here, then, is a chance for someone to do his college a great service. vSomethmg of the sort is needed and needed badly. And, by the way, why wouldn ' t a Minstrel Club be a success?

The cost has been reduced to a minimum. Tuition is free to citizens of the United States. An opportunity is offered to pay a portion of expenses by work. Three Courses of Study are offered: an e cven rceki ' practical course in agriculture and kindred sciences; a four years course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science; and a graduate coui se leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. Instruction. The courses of study as at present constituted include: — 1. Agriculture, theoretical and practical, stock-breeding, drainage and irrigation, special crops. 2. Botany, including horticulture, market gardening, aboriculture, care of greenhouses, types of cryptogamic orders, and histology. 3. Chemistry. Practice work in the laboratories, qualitative and quan- titative analysis, inorganic and organic, adapted to special needs. Geology. 4. Zoology, entomology, the preservation of plants from destructive insects, human anatomy, physiology, and hygiene. 5. Veterinary Science. The hygiene, anatomy, physiology, and dis- eases of domestic animals, giving the student requisite knowledge for the care of stock. 6. Mathematics and physics, including practical work in surveying and roadmaking. Meteorology in its relation to agriculture. Electrical engineer- ing with problems, and practical work with instruments. Civil engineering. Astronomy. 7. English. Care is given to the study of English language and litera- ture, that the student may be able to understand his mother tongue, and use it correctly and efficiently in the expression and enunciation of thought. As a means to this and other ends, Latin may be taken as an elective in Senior year. 8. Modern Languages. French and German are taught, so as to give the student means of acquiring a sufficient mastery of the languages to have access to scientific authorities of France and Germany. ■ A -. •■. So iluniuire. yes, luil ;eit i iiiiu li J res mess. Henshaw: How I love to lijiger long with Lucy. 9. Political Science. The course provides for instruction in political economy, that a knowledge may be gained of those established laws of the business world which control the market, finance, and the production and dis- tribution of wealth. Especial attention is given to the economies of agricul- ture. Science of government is studied, that the duties and privileges of the citizen may be understood. Advantages. Facilities for illustration include a working library of more than 20,000 volumes, properly classified and catalogued ; the State collection of birds, insects, reptiles, and rocks of Massachusetts, with many additions ; the Knowlton herbarium of 10,000 species of named botanical specimens ; the 1,500 species and varieties of plants and types of the vegetable kingdom, cul- tivated in the Durfee plant-house ; the large collections of Amherst College within easy access ; a farm of about 400 acres, divided between the agricultural, horticultural, and experimental departments, embracing every variety of soil, offering splendid opportunities for observing the application of science to the problems of agriculture. Worthy of Especial Mention are the laboratories for practical work in chemistry, in zoology, and in botany, well equipped with essential apparatus. The Durfee plant-house has been recently rebuilt and greatly enlarged, and a new tool-house and workshop provided for the horticultural department. For the agricultural department, a model barn furnishes the best facilities for storage of crops, care of horses, cattle, sheep and swine, and management of the dairy ; it includes also a lecture-room for instruction. For the veterinary department a new and fully equipped laboratory and stable have been pro- vided, where bacteriology and the diseases of animals are studied. Electives. Out of seventeen studies provided for the Senior Class, fif- teen are elective, grouped in eleven separate courses. Expenses. Board in clubs is about $2.50 per week, and in families, $3.00 to $5.00; room rent, $12.00 to $24.00 per semester; fuel, $7.00 to $13.00 per year; washing, 40 to 50 cents per dozen; military suit, $15.75; books at wholesale prices ; furniture, second-hand or new, for sale in town. Certificates from approved High Schools admit students without exami- nation. Requisites for Admission to the several courses and other information may be learned from the catalogue, to be obtained by application to the President. HENRY H. GOODELL, Amherst. Mass.
