We Kope tkat the interested may include alumni, undergraduates, M. A. C. men-to-be, and friends. It is onl ) the dutj) of the Class to prepare and publish this work as an epitome of the past y ear and as a bond which shall help to connect our lives in years to come Vith the memories of the dajls that have gone. But there is a greater and more important mission that we feel should be accomplished — the establishment of some tangible povJer -o hich will serve to instill into the spirits of Aggie men that fore- runner of fello ' A ' ship — Friendship. With this view in mind, we respectfully submit our IrJDEX. THE BOARD OF EDITORS. Crne t Aiibersion WE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS BOOK, IN TOKEN OF OUR REGARD FOR HIM AS A FRIEND AND IN TESTIMONY OF OUR ADMIRATION FOR HIM AS A. MAN AND A STUDENT 10 Crnesit nberi on HE subject of this sketch was bom near K aufman, Texas. He hved on a farm until twenty years of age, attended the public schools, entered a small college — Trinity University — and received from it the degree of A. B., taking highest honors. He then entered the University of Texas, intending to specialize in biology but devoted the major part of his time to botany and chemistry. During his course at that institution he made Phi Beta Kappa, and in 1903, received the degree of B. Sc. The two following years he was a fellow in botany and chemistry and received the degree of M. Sc. During the year 1905-6 he taught chemistry and physics in the Corsicana high school. As early as 1901 he began taking courses at the University of Chicago during its summer quarter, and he continued this work until he entered the University as a graduate student and fellow in the auttmm of 1906. In the spring of 1907 he was made associate in chemistry and in 1909 received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy magna cum laude, the subject of his thesis being, The Action of Fehling ' s Solution on Galactose. While a graduate student at Chicago he pursued his studies in physical chemistry with Professors McCoy and Stieglitz, and in quantitative analysis and organic chemistry with Professors Stieglitz and Nef. In the spring of 1909 he passed the United States Civil Service examination and was offered and declined a position in the Bureau of Standards. He was also elected to membership in the Sigma Xi fraternity. After receiving his doctor ' s degree he became special research assistant to Professor Nef, the head of the department of chemistry and continued in this position until his call to M. A. C. He was offered the position of instructor in chemistry in case he decided to remain at the University. In addition to his doc- tor ' s thesis, he published, while at Chicago, two scientific papers entitled, The Relation between Configuration and Rotation of the Lactones in the Sugar and Saccharinic Acid Groups, and An Empirical Relation between the Configuration and Rotation of Sugars. In the summer of 1912, Dr. Anderson was called to M. A. C. as assistant pro- fessor of general and physical chemistry and in 1914 he was made associate pro- fessor. During his three years of residence he has received a call to an instructor- ship in organic chemistry at Harvard University, and another call to become head of the scientific division of the Margaret Morrison School of Science at the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Only recently he was approached by the president and dean of the University of Utah with a view to securing him as head of the chemical department of that institution. 11 Professor Anderson has published several scientific papers while at M. A. C. and three men — Messrs. Noyes, Bogue and Brown — have made the degree of Master of Science under his direction. Since coming to Amherst, he has co-operated with Professor Peters in reor- ganizing the work in freshman chemistry. He has also enlarged and strengthened the course in qualitative analysis so that it is now considered fully equal to that given in any college. A course in physical chemistry has been introduced by him and is required of all men majoring in chemistry. Professor Anderson is an excellent teacher and full of energy and enthusiasm for his subject. He inspires and leads rather than commands the student. He is cordial in his relations with both faculty and students; the latter regard him as their friend and advisor as well as their superior. While he is always ready to help any one to a better understanding of his subject, he has little patience with the drone. He seems to care little for formal social functions; the atmosphere of the libran ' and laboratory is evidently preferred to that of the drawing-room. Even administrative duties and committee meetings seem irksome and as so much time lost from more important work. While somewhat reserved and not inclined to take the first step in making acquaintances, the ice once broken, one finds be- neath the apparent shyness the true democratic spirit. Professor Anderson is not only a teacher but he possesses also the true spirit of research which is bound to prove decidedly helpful to the department of chem- istry and to the entire institution. His mind is ever busy with some problem requiring solution, and he communicates this spirit to his associates and students. Professor Nef of Chicago, in his letter of recommendation, said of him, He is a young man of tremendous capacity for work and is brimful of enthusiasm for research. ' ' I can, therefore, recommend him to you as a very, very unusual and exceptionally well qualified teacher and research man . Let us hope that he can be retained at M. A.

Aggie circus grounds, we have spent two years visit- ing the side-shows, fakirs, and scholastic prestidigitators. We have seen isometric carbon atoms turn handsprings, and the halogen family maintaining its chemical equilibrium in an atmosphere of ozone. We were next regaled by a fictitious demonstration of the value of trained specimens of lumbrims terrestris in agriculture, a feature that might have been established, but for the fact that nearby the Czar was impaling one of said animals on his famous fishing tackle, of which sophs were even eager to swallow hook, bob, and sinker. Our visit to the side-shows was concluded after hsten- ing to 7500 reasons wh} there should be another Democrat in Congress. Wearying of the minor attractions, we were eager to enter the main tent of our Senior and Junior years. Various major attractions caused us to separate, but we all gradually clustered about the main ring where a Prom was being held, a function at which the fairest was none too good for the fair. In another ring, a number of clowns were in an historic pageant, commemorating the spirited cus- tom of tree planting. The president acted as master of ceremonies, creating an enthusiasm in which all joined. It would be against sound farm practice and the principles of agriculture if the tree did not thrive after such an inauguration. Everybody up now for the grand finale. Knowing that we must move on, we mingle pleasure with regret — pleasure in the knowledge that we are to jump out into life with a definite purpose, and regret because to say good-bye to the scenes and associations we have loved is no easy matter. So as we pass out of the college circle, and though we may become widely separated, may we still re- tain the common tie which binds us to Old Aggie, whose name is dear to us all. And when the good call is sent out, may 1916 be sure to Be There. 43 Chables H. Gould Senior (ifficersi Charles H. Gould President Henry M. Walker Vice-President David Potter Secretary Clayton M.

C. up to the fall of 1913, there having been two hundred and two members when we were freshmen. Sixteen was on her job from the start, and most of us remem- ber Woe is me — I am a poor freshman . Has anyone forgotten our efforts to get a picture? Of course we got stung at the rope pull practice, and we marched down town to the tune of How Green I Am , as all good fresh- men had done before us. Some of our members did entertain at pond parties, but Sixteen did not have the satisfaction of pulling us thru the pond, though they did get three feet of rope. The sophs must have underestimated our ability and class spirit, when Pickard won for ' 17 the privilege of smoking on the campus. Was there a single ' 17 man that did not smoke? If so, I do not know him. We rather slipped it over on ' 16 again when we chose our officers, and we kept them a-guessing throughout the banquet season. It was due to the utmost vigilance on the part of each member of their class, that they won from us the decision, biit in so far as the rivalry brought the members of our class to a better understanding of each other and instilled a determination to stick to- gether, it was a decided benefit. Our plans for the discipline of 1918, were radically modified, but by watch- fulness, we did succeed in treating some members of that class to a bath. We also found out how well sixty of them could swim on the first Friday afternoon of the college year! None of the usual customs were omitted, and we prevented 1918 from smoking on the campus until late in the year. When it came to the freshman banquet, 1918 certainly did know their rules, and they made use of every advantage given them. 1917 has not been backward in supplying men for the various student activi- ties. We had three men play at some time during the varsity football season of 1914. We have had men on the track team, and on the rifle team. The class has among its members, more than one orator and debator, and many of our men are active in the Dramatic Club. When you speak of hockey, we are there again, and some of our men have played varsity baseball. In inter-class events, we have seldom come out last, and whether we are winning or losing, you will find we have the odd-class spirit. 55 J. Dixon Birchard Junior 0iiktv J.

This man must have been born under a lucky star all right, for even the combined efforts of Billy and Doc Gordon couldn ' t drive him from our midst. Babby has learned the fine art of getting the maximum of credit for the minimum of work. Worry was left out when he was made and it is safe to say that he will always be happy as long as the supply of Prince Albert holds out.

He ' s an optomistic, pessimistic, disbelieving be- liever, and as such his real attitude is hard to make out. The only things definitely known about him are that after scraping putty for four hours in the hot sun on top of the plant house one afternoon he announced that the course was really practical and not all theory, and secondly, that he has a strong yearning for the gay life of Boston. As a class em- bassy, Bert is 100% perfect having at one time succeeded in seducing 50 pair of bracelets from the guardianship of Boston ' s law enforcers.

At last we have found the leader of the notorious Black Cross gang, which has so long terrorized the peaceful environs of lower Lincoln Avenue. His calm and peaceful bearing among us for the last two years left him unsuspected until he was re- cently apprehended while attempting to recruit volunteers for service under Carranza in Mexico. This news came as a great shock to the Index re- porter. His fears were soon set aside, however, when Walter informed him that the recruits were to take part in a new movie drama entitled A Nation in Shreds , with W. I. as chief mediator.

Al- though he weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 pounds, more or less, George has not gone in heavily for athletics, — except the Mexican variety.

Hingham: a name to conjure by; at least that is what Hendy thinks since he first saw the sun rise over the mud flats in that big city. Elliott is one of our social lights for when he is not chasing the elusive books, he is either whirling gaily around the Drill Hall, or carrying the Musical Clubs on a record breaking trip.

He never says much about his early youth except that he originated in Millis, where he was a member of the Clicquot Club. More recently, as a baseball man, he has shown marked ability for chasing flies, which doubtless comes of long experience working at Thurber ' s sanitary hash emporium.

As time rolled on, he resigned himself to his fate, knowing there was a Worthy One to leave behind him to carry on the work. Link spends a great deal of time speaking in public (he says he is good at it), and when he is not, he may be found, like Demosthenes on the sea-shore, addressing the help- less plants in the plant-house. tlfreb ©bcrlin Hinsfman, 3Fr.

When his light is seen burning late at night it is a sure sign that the mailman will have a 4 ounce letter addressed to B. U. the next morning. For further information call on Jeeras. himself.

We cannot say whether this pessimism is natural or comes from long association with the hard characters whose faces you see on these pages. However that may be, he has redeemed himself with his camera, for a more persistent snapshotter the college never saw. One glance through his photo collection tells the whole story of the ups and downs of 1917. That name Nails is supposed to convey the impression of hard guy or some similar title of approbation. It must have originated with some one who knew him in his home town; he never impressed us that way. lLt sy i (Elmer J icljarbfion July 23, 1894 Rockville A X A House Animal Husbandry A X A; Class Track (2); Class Rifle Team (2). This little boy just quietly assimilated our com- pany when 1916 ' s became too fast. It ' s a rare bird, but the feathering is quite warm, and Looie has prospered.

This representative of the Everett Anti-Saloon League dates the improvement of Aggie from the time of his arrival among the innocent foundlings of 1917 . To what depths we might have sunk without his ennobling influence no one can tell. But we ' ll all admit that his cheerful countenance can drive away the blues and make the old coll seem like home. Lest the dear reader be too much misled, we add that he was seen to weep bitter tears when the old Empire at Holyoke burned down. There is a rumor about that he has political aspira- tions. This may or may not be true, but when interviewed he calmly replied, Yeast is my middle name; I ' m sure to rise . 81 B.olanb Minsior Rogers!

This serious faced young man came to us from Roxbury with a determined air and since then he has been carrying his little bag around to classes with the best of them. He is best known for his ability to print faster than a typewriter and draw pictures that would make J. Montgomery Flagg envious. He is a star at all the books which, it is whispered, he carries to bed with him and can ex- hale more knowledge in a minute than the average person could in an hour. He also has the true ' 17 spirit and can be depended upon in an emergency to work for the best. l ms Ifreb J orsittom November 14, 1892 Boston M. A. C.

Bud — the most popular man in the 1918 gossip parties, has been, and always will be, a terror to even-class men. Bud, we understand, has a strong liking for education. His specialty is teaching as it is taught in the rural districts. He is a believer in co-education also. 82 ? arrp Samuel aibel August 28, 1895 Worcester Colonial Inn Floriculture Commons Club.

Sarge is a quiet chap and keeps pretty much to himself but there is plenty of gr ey matter there as results show. He lives in Merrimac and is consid- ered quite some farmer down in that ..neck of the woods. Hence his presence here. He came to M. A.

June 19, 1S93 Lawrence 116 Pleasant Street Rural Journalism Once upon a time, not long ago, Bill took a vaca- tion, and when he returned, he looked around and chose our company. It was this young man who discovered the Thirteenth Law of Expansion, known as the Rule of Loose and Tight. He is most amiable when pushing a blinky around the campus in front of his face. We do not know what he is going to do during the long winter evenings coming since the lights of the old Dog Cart no longer shine in his boudoir windows. 83 HFoljn ilartin tauter July 21, 1892 Turner ' s Falls 60 Pleasant Street Microbiology Class Football (2).

Bill started off his flowery path amongst us sev- erally at Goesmann Hall, but he ' s a man for a ' that . One time in the dim past, they tried to slip over an Informal without inviting our dancing master, and Bill was wild. Periodically, this young man gets out his bear ' s grease and slicks down his hair, then off for a jolly time over the river. His passion however, is his studies and he fooled the Big Three so completely that they have not yet recovered.

I beg your pardon, my children, we have to pay six cents, which always fools the freshmen because they think the con. is making his little rake-off of one cent from the innocent. This High Royal Custodian of the mysteries of the Ent.

Al- though a little shrimp he has a voice that easily carries across the campus whenever he gets into an argument. This latter case is seldom, of. course, but he is built on a foundation of nerve and can throw about as smooth a line of bull to the profs, as anyone in the business. As a model, too, he can strike a pose that would make Napoleon ashamed of himself. The Flying Dutchman has a lot of good sense though which will come out when he turns his oratory upon the woi ' ld at large. aul Cbtuarb t)umtoaj Greenfield 60 Pleasant Street Pomology X; Class Baseball (1, 2).

Jimmie is one of our strongest champions of co- education and the home talent idea. It is a matter of pride with him that he is not a fusser, that is, he was never seen to go over mountain or river. But thereby hangs a tale which would never get by in a book like this. ' Way back in freshman year, Jimmie won some distinction as a football player, but of late he has been getting his exercise by wrestling with the curriculum. 85 I crfacrt IStoigbt mitt) June 29, 1894 Poughkeepsie, N.

Of course, after such a narrow escape at the very outset of his college career, it is small wonder that he was never arrested for loitering around Smith or Mt. Holyoke. Since his arrival here he has been a consistent plugger, who says little and does much. Though he takes most of his recreation in the library, no one would ever think to accuse him of being a grind. aaicJ)art) Moolitoortf) g mitl) January 19, 1895 Pittsfield K S House Landscape K S; Assistant Manager Football (3); Class President (2); Senate (3); Collegian Board (1, 2, 3); Secretary College Y.

Seldom have we heard such a line of bull as is constantly flowing from his lips and he can never be backed down in an argument. He is very well educated in the fine arts such as dancing and singing, and he has a girl in every port from South Amherst to Oklahoma. He also has the highest literary aspirations, and a natural love of politics. All these qualities to- gether with his loyalty to every cause will no doubt make him a great statesman some day.

Almon, the boy wonder, quietly slipped in here with the rest of us, but soon budded out and showed that he, too, was a man of the world. This flaxen haired young man has always been a deep thinker from the start and he has plenty of serious dope on all kinds of questions.

Did you ever hear him laugh? Well if j ou ever hear an explosion around South dorm followed by a gatling gun rattle, you may know that it is Albert laughing. His only vices are tooth picks and chewing gum which come very naturally to him as he spends his summers guarding the wine closet of the B. M. He is a bear with the women, too, as he uses his spare time sailing majestically over the mountain or escorting the Smith Special on its homeward way. ?|arolti tli:i)urfaer totueU July 9, 1894 Amherst 193 S.

When he is not carrying a little green bag around the campus, he is swinging a hockey stick on the pond and wondering why they do not clean off the ice so he can show his speed. Remember the time when the ice could not keep up with him, and Harold fell through? He carries all his inside dope in the green bag — we have in mind the time when he ran all the way to Flint to tell about the ninety- five freshmen at the C. V. Station . He could not trust that to the ' phone. And we could not trust him. 87 V; . William Wallace i:i)apcr June 25, 1895 Somerville 82 Pleasant Street Agriculture AX A; Glee Club (2); Class Treasurer (3). Here we have a noble youth who came to us from Harvard, and although we still hear occasionally about what used to happen when I was at Hah- vud , Bill has entered fully into the Aggie spirit, as well as the Mt.

He has prospered and thrived amid his new surroundings to such an extent that he has become the leader of his class in both music and tennis. Samuel Jfuller Cutl)ill December 6, 1894 Mattapoisett M.

A little of his latent athletic ability showed itself in our hockey game with the freshmen which we won in spite of him. For further exercise he keeps a boy ' s club in order (?) in North Amherst and this is quite enough training for him.

Since then he has been the most regular of the regular guys, even going so far as to anticipate the millennium by fussing in Draper Hall.

We suppose Brooklyn sent Joe up to Aggie to learn something about life in the rural districts, and to study the laws of landscape-gardening, in order that in due time he might return to his home city and make it beautiful. Joe has musical ability, as shown by his woik as he calls it, in the mando- lin club, and Pinkie Waugh says this is very helpful in studying landscraping, so we have every hope that Joe will be among the topnotchers some day. His quiet manner combined with his dry and ready wit, has made Joe the friend of everyone who knows him, and we all wish him success in his endless task of remodelling Brooklyn.

Tim IS the funny-fella from Sixteen. He has a great line of funny stories, and he is the only one that can demonstrate this particular line of goods. Lately he took a vacation and went back to the soil. His great thirst for knowledge and ambition to rise yet unsatisfied, he returned to the fold to learn how to grasp the yeast wherewith to do the ascending. The only things that may prove a draw-back are: that he did not prep. with us, and that he once lived in East Entry North. 91 Srttjur jFranblin July 4, 1894 lilUams!

I should answer, I should tell you, They are from the beetling Berkshires Where the wildcat stalks the woodchuck, They are from the far Nantucket Where the herring flees the codfish, Every seat of glory sends them. And they come with flaunt and flourish. It was in the early autumn. In the harvest moon, September, That our warriors first assembled On the hunting grounds of Aggie. Our estate was mean and lowly, For we were but humble Freshmen And we suffered many buffets, Knocked about by cruel Fortune, Swatted lustily with paddles. Doused and soused in fetid water. Oftentimes we heard the warwhoop, Show some Pep, you bloody Freshmen! And we barkened to the warwhoop, Showed our Pep in scrappy struggles. And ere long our foes were vanquished. Vanquished, scalped, and drawn and quartered. Thus we strove for education. 97 In the spring we held a banquet, Such a banquet! Such a banquet! Enemies essayed to thwart us But we foiled them and outfought them, Such a banquet! Such a banquet! Nevermore will it be equalled. Where were we in athletics, In the games of skill and muscle? We were there in athletics! In basketball our mighty warriors Elbowed onward to the champship, And the last sun of the season Saw us crush our foes in baseball. Thus progressed our education. . . . Moons passed, and once more at Aggie We. assembled for the slaughter, Breathing fire and vowing vengeance, Frightening Freshies into frenzies, Playing all the pleasant humbugs, All the tricks and hocus-pocus, That we learned when we were Freshmen. Victory perches on our shoulders. Glory clothes us and enshrouds us. Aureoles of pride enwreathe us. Truly, we are wondrous warriors. And we ' re getting educatedl Yes, we ' re getting educated. 98 Frank M. Babbitt opfjomore 0ttittx Frank M. Babbitt President Sidney S. Smith Vice-President Marshall 0. Lanphear Secretary Harlan N.

Dere Maw: i am orful sorry thet i couldn ' t rite befour but I hed to give thet feller in the treasure orfic so much cash thet i didn ' t hev enough to buy a postij stamp even. I hev jest got the tew cents together, pleze inclose a stamp when you rite me if yer want an anser. Them new cow hide boots of paws thet he ' d worn only tew yeres got all wore out same as my pocket book, sence i hed to stand in line so long to git registrared and treasurared and deaned. Pleze send me them old sneakers thet I hed come three j eres last summer, stick a piece of cardboard on ter the whole in the bottom, an i guess they ' ll dew alright. Say, Maw, but yer oughter a scene thet rope pull. One class or the other hes ter hev a bath once a year jest fer the sake of keeping clene i surpose. They took and guv us fellers the bath this yere, but i don ' t think we was half es dirty as some of them softomores. They ' re cleneing out the pond now, but i don ' t surpose there is any conektion between the wash we got and the kondition of the bottom of thet pond, one nite the Softs gut as all out in our perjamers to perade down to Am- herst and make speeches and things. I put on thet pear of red and grene striped ones thet uncle Tom left me when he defunked. the Softs thought they was a good target and paddled me purty hard. The pants part got ripped orful. we busted up there old perade howsomever. they caught a few of us, but the most of us jest simply left our perjamers behind and beat it. We wanted ter get our pictures took but the Softs didn ' t think the cameras we hed were good enuf and so bruk them all up. They sat up all nite, too, jest ter keep us from getting together and getting it took. We was all in shelter, but them poor coots was out in the kold, except fer three of there feller conspirators thet we hed kapchured and kept with us. We didn ' t get a picture, but we didn ' t get froze, nuther. Say, Maw, but we hev got some ball teme in our klass. We almost bete the softs the first time and the second they won what I call an eleventh hour victory, we was a going ter stop at eleven o ' clock and, rite in the middle of an inning with two of our teme on base, the clock struck. The softs ran rite away from there, jest as if they thought something was after them, i ' m playing rite guard on the football teme, but i don ' t know es the Softs will play us this yere sence we are a pretty husky crowd, in course they don ' t want ter get a beating. I take after paw in heving a good thik hed, but it helps er lot in football. With luv ter the hole fambly, including Mandy Green lis, Willy. 113 Donald Ross Jf resijman 0tiittt Donald Ross Lawrence W. Gay Robert D. Chisholm Vincent C. Stuart Roger Readio Earl A.

The ancient Hebrews banqueted; the old Romans had their festive occa- .j sions; the Athenians ate their dainties to the sound of soft music; and even the American Indians feasted on the produce of a big killing after a successful hunt. It remained, however, for the Freshman classes at M. A. C. to combine all the qualities of different types into their one momentous banquet of the Freshman year. Even in the very first classes of the college a Freshman class banquet was an accepted thing, — serving as a get-together and time for general good feeling. But just when class rivalry and Sophomore opposition started we cannot be sure of. We do know, however, that in the year 1881, when 1884 were Freshmen, they held a feed of some sort in the North room in North College which was some- what demoralized by the advent of a quantity of pepper from above — poured thru holes in the ceiling from the attic by a few Sophomores. Whether this was concerted action on the part of the Sophomore class, or the work of a few of them bent on mischief, we do not know, but it began a little opposition which has since borne results. From this time on the Freshmen continued to have their banquets, usually in the spring, with here and there a little spice to the occasions. Sometimes they were held in conjunction with the Juniors and sometimes by themselves under the name of Freshman Night , nearly all the surrounding towns or cities being favored by one or more visits from the banqueting classes. Along in the late 90 ' s, however, and early 1900 ' s we find class rivalry coming in strong during the Freshman banquet. On June 6, 1902, the class of ' 05 had their banquet at the Cooley House in Springfield and in the Signal of that year we ;; find mention of a little disturbance caused by Sophomores during the banquet. In 1903 the class of ' 06 .showed up in strength and, after misleading the Sopho- mores by wide detours, almost the entire class gathered at the switch above the Hatch Experiment Station at midnight on May IS and then went unmolested to ' -:], South Deerfield where the banqtiet — or class breakfast as the Sophomores termed ■ j : it — was held at the Bloody Brook House. The class returned to Amherst about !: ' , 7.30 A. M. on May 19, much elated over their success, and much to the chagrin . ' ji of the waiting Sophs. 1; The next year the class of ' 07 — ' ' by evading our watchful enemy at noontide ! j i went to Hartford, Conn., by trolley and there held their banquet at the New Dom 1 Hotel on May 13, 1904. - i Preferring a change in direction for their banquet, the class of ' 08 journeyed to North Adams and there, well out of reach of the mystified Sophomores, they -4 ' enjoyed their banquet to the fullest extent. g Our Freshman Banquet or Banquet Season as we look upon it today 1! does not have its official origin buried so far back in the college annals. M Hi 177 On the Senate Records for March 6, 1906, in the handwriting of Bartlett, Secretary of the Senate, we find the fohowing ; Voted — that in the future the Freshmen shall hold their class banquet durin ; the first two weeks in May, onlj ' . This action of the Senate seems to have caused a great deal of adverse criti- cism and serious discussion ; so much so in fact that the following is later found in the Senate Records : March 22, 1906. Special meeting called to order by Pres. Peakes. Limita- tion of the Freshman banquet reconsidered and discussed. Suggested that we meet committee of the faculty and talk it over with them. As a result of further discussion and conferences on the matter the records of the meeting of March 26, 1906, read as follows: Voted — that the Freshman class shall hold its banquet on or between April 20 and June 1 and that they shall not be molested outside of the town limits. On May 4 of this year, just four months from the time Pres. Butterfleld had been elected to the Presidency of the college, the Freshman succeeded in getting away for the first successful banquet under Senate rules. Early Friday morning just at daybreak the class as a body started to walk to Hadley where they took a car for Hamp and then to Springfield. At the Hadley car bams the Sophs appeared just as the Freshman were ready to start. Descriptions of affairs when two classes get together are a little difficult but we have the word of the College Signal that the Sophs were not given a great deal of encouragement to enter the car and soon retired somewhat shaken and bruised. Although this may have been the first banquet scrap Old Hadley ever saw, it was not destined to be the last one as later years have sho-wn. The Sophs, returning from their unsuccessful attempt to break up the Fresh- men, found several of the latter straggling along the road toward Hadley and took them into custody but freed them in time to let them reach Springfield where the banquet was held at the Highland House at 8 o ' clock with 52 members present. In 1907, for some unexplained reason, the banquet rules fail to appear in the Senate Records so all we know about them is this, taken from the College Signal : The Senate has prepared concise and definite rulings on the matter of the Freshman banquet — rulings which no one can misinterpret, which will nulify all previous precedents and establish a wise and definite precedent for the years to come. The time during which the banquet may be held is definitely stipulated. There are no restrictions on the hour of day when the Freshmen can leave town. They may leave at any moment during the month and a half allowed them. The Sopho- mores are forbidden to create a disturbance in another town, and the exact rneaning of disturbance and town is embodied in the rulings. An exact definition of what shall consist a breaking up of the banquet is also given. The energies of the Sophomores will be directed toward retaining three or more officers of the Freshman Class. There will be no definite advantage gained in retaining from attendance at the banquet other members of the class. The rulings are simply and clearly ex- pressed; there will be no excuse for breaking them by citlu ' r Freshmen or Sopho- mores. The danger of an occurrence which would l)ring tliscredit upon the college and its students is minimized, and yet at the same time a premium is placed upon the vigilance of Ixilh Freshmen and Sophomores. Again the Senate has proved itself a wise deliberati ' e body, worthy of the utmost resiiect and hearty support of the student l)ody. 178 Apparently the premium on vigilance was not high enough or the Freshmen had successfully solved the problem of finding the unknown % for they found a way of getting their officers, who were known to the Sophomores, safely away and out of sight and reach of 1909. On Thursday, May 9, the officers who were closely shadowed by Sophomores, entered their French section and were all in the recitation room at 9.15. A little later a covered express wagon of the Horticultural Department backed up to the door, the officers jumped in, and with the horses on the run were hurried to North- ampton road where they took the car for Hamp. From here they went to Springfield, thence to Westfield and Pittsfield. From the latter city they went to North Adams where they were met by some other 1910 men and rushed to ' ' The Wilson where a banquet was held that night. The other remaining members of the class left Amherst in two divisions, one going to Sunderland and walking across the river to Deerfield and here taking a special car to North Adams, while the other division went b} way of Northampton and Greenfield. During the evening 15 or 20 Sophomores landed in the town (arriving mostly by freight), but their attempts to start something were frustrated thru the aid of policeman McKane. Just after the class sat down at 8.45 the entrance ot a few eggs thru the windows caused a little excitement but the disturbance soon died down and the Freshmen enjoyed their successful banquet in peace. In connection with the banquet season in 1908 we get a side light on another of our college customs, the rope pull, which at this time came in the spring. In the records for April 19, 1908, the first motion reads as follows; Motion made and seconded that rope pull shall not take place before Thurs- day night provided the Freshman banquet does not come before .the same time. Carried. At this same meeting the next official change or step in the growth of the laanquet rules appears on record : Motion made and seconded that Freshman class give a sealed list of names of their class officers to President of the Senate, to be opened in presence of Senate afterwards. This li.st must be handed in before x ' Vpril 19 of their Freshman year. Carried. P. J. ALGER, SecH ' y. The Freshman class had already openly elected their officers and these had been captured by the Sophomores, but the Signal for this period gives it best: — One of the cleverest bits of strategy that has ever been accomplished about here was done by the Freshman during the week of April 19th. After the Amherst game the wily Sophomores cnpturcd the Freshman class president and officers, in order to break up the baufiuct wliich they thought was coming during the week. This done, they deemed it also wise to challenge the Freshmen to a rope pull contest on the following Monda} ' . The Junior class, however, by virtue of their position as upper classmen, carried the matter to the Senate. The Senate ruled the i-ludlenge to be illegal provided the banquet was not held before the Thursday of that week. This ruling was necessary, that the Juniors might have a class day. But the Sopho- mores did not feel the justice of the decree, so they challenged the next day again. We need not draw conclusions here, but the strategic movement was evident to all. Of course the challenge was accepted, and the Freshmen had put their heads into a noose. But just here was where the Sophomores were completely outclassed by the superiority of the Freshman wit. A large demonstration by the Freshmen frightened away the Sophomores and caused the removal of the captives to a more secure place of concealment. Someone, however, blundered, and .so enabled the Freshmen scouts to very easily follow the Sophomores. Deeming four men a suffi- 179 cient number to guard the Freshman officers, the Sophomores set out to carry the first part of their plan through successfully. Unfortunately they did not succeed and were badly beaten, the Freshmen walking away finally with the rope. Imme- diately after the usual celebration the Freshmen left town in a body to capture their president. Skillfully led on by their scouts they located the spot where the cap- tives were held and besieged it. Once more the Sophomores took flight and were followed and compelled to surrender their prisoners under threats of complete an- nihilation. What was seemingly a glorious victory for the Sophomores was doubly turned into an ignominious defeat. The Freshmen marched away to Holyoke where with cheers for 1911 and 1909 they departed for Hartford. Here in spite of the great number of difficulties that presented themselves they secured a Hotel and had menus printed for a banquet that evening. At eight o ' clock, April 22d, the class sat down to their banquet at the New Dom Hotel. IB li In 1909 no changes in rules are recorded. The Freshman class used the side door Pullman method of escape, entering a freight car near Clark Hall, and were carried direct to the B. M. Station just in time to get the special car which had been provided for them on the 3.19 Boston train. The class was joined in Boston by their officers who has been absent from Amherst a week (a condition which is impossible under present banquet rules) and at 8.15 on April 23 the class of 1912, with 71 members present, sat down to their banquet at the American House. 1910 Panquct IRuleS The Freshman class banquet shall be held on or between April 19 and June 1. The Sophomores shall create no disturbance in another town, while trying to break up the banquet. A breach of peace shall be considered a disturbance. If the Sophomores prevent the Freshman class president or any other three class officers from attending the banquet, it shall not be considered successful. ' ' The Freshman class must give a sealed list of the names of their class officers to the President of the Senate to be opened in the presence of the Senate. This list must be handed in before April 19. Under the foregoing rules on April 21, 1910, the class of 1913 held their ban- quet at the Hotel Warren in Worcester at 8 P. M. By leaving Amherst at 3 A. M. and walking to South Amherst they boarded the 6.08 train and went to Worcester direct with no Sophomoric interference since this class had decided, after keep- ing a careful watch until 1 A. M., that there was ' ' nothing doing and at the time the Freshmen were silently creeping away the 1912 men were soundly sleeping. That afternoon, at the Worcester station, the only class encounter of the sea- son occurred when several Sophomores attempted to show a Freshman the errors of his ways and succeeded in manhandling him pretty thoroughly. Kid Gore ' s name appears in the list of officers and it is said that at the banquet most of the 1913 class Pep originated — at any rate only 10 out of the class of 122 were absent. 1911 Senate Record of Feb. 22, 1911, printed in Signal, Mar. 21, 1911: 1 . The banquet shall be held between the first Friday of May and the second Monday thereafter, inclusive. 2. Ninety per cent, of each class, including Freshman officers, must be present SI I 180 t -Mi- -mxc -( % at chapel on the morning of the opening of the season. No Freshman shaU be prevented from attending chapel on the first morning of the season. 3. The Freshman class shall give a sealed list of names of their class officers to the President of the Senate to be opened in the presence of Senate after the banquet season. This list must be handed to the President before April 19. 4. The banquet shall not be a success if the Sophomores succeed in detaining the class president or any three other class officers, including the chairman of the banquet committee as an officer in this connection, or if 50% of the Freshman class is not present at the banquet. 5. There shall be no breach of peace outside of town limits by either class. The use of firearms is considered as a breach of peace. 6. Infringement of these rules by either class constitutes a victory for the other class. These rules were the result of an investigation and report of a committee for banquet rules and embody several new ideas which are still kept in the rules. The shortening of the season from almost two months to a little under two weeks is the most important of the changes, but attendance at chapel on the morning of the season ' s opening is another which has worked out well and been retained, in varied forms, to the present time. Up to this time it had only been the officers who counted in attendance at the banquet but here we have a clause calling for at least one-half the class to be present, and last, but not least, the statement that violation of these rules by a class, forfeits the banquet, — a rule which has never yet been put into force. The banquet held under these rules was a success in all ways. After a series of short brushes between the two lower classes Thursday night and Friday morn- ing the Freshmen, about noon, cut across lots to the C. V. tracks, flagged the noon train, and when met by the Sophomores at the Amherst station they were safely inside the cars and were not seriously molested. The banquet was held at the American House, Boston, with the officers and more than 100 members present. Though eluded, the Sophomores showed that they had inventive minds to say the least. A careful reading of Rule 2 will show that no definite chapel is mentioned, it being taken for granted that the college chapel was meant. Taking a literal translation of the rule, however, the Sophomores found room for doubt so that three Freshmen who had been spirited away the night before were allowed the privilege of attending chapel at a school twenty-five miles from Amherst in company with their captors. This little affair caused much discussion and as a result we find on the Senate Records for April 9, 1912: Rules Nos. 1 and 4 to be the same as in 1911, but No. 2 to read 90% of each class, including Freshman officers, must be present at the Mass. Agri. College Chapel exercises on the morning of the opening of the ban- quet season and must he in their regular seats and the Freshman class must answer to the roll as called by the Senate. No Freshman shall be prevented from attend- ing said chapel exercises on the first morning of said season . No. 3 was also slightly changed to read as follows: The Freshman class shall give a sealed list of the full names of all Freshman class officers, each with his respective office designated, to the President of the Senate to be opened in the presence of the Senate after the close of the banquet season. This list must be handed to the President before April 19 . No. 5 remained the same but No. 6 had added to it: and any one of these rules . On Friday morning, May 3, 1912, the Freshmen (1915) put over a class get away which is remembered as the boldest and cleverest opening of a banquet season yet enacted. Leaving the Chapel in a body the class, with the officers in the center, started for the center of the town, opposed all the way by the Sophomores, so that the affair took on the aspect of a running fight. Students who are accustomed to going to the Post Office frequently are prob- ably aware of the short cut thru the allej way which goes do vn beside Strong ' s Bakery and comes out a little above the Post Office. It was this alley which proved the undoing of the Sophomores. While the Freshmen kept up a firm front at the head of the alleyway their officers quietly slipped out and soon were speeding away in an automobile which had been waiting for them. They reappeared safely the next night at the Woodland Park Hotel, Auburn- dale, and together with seven-eighths of the class sat down, victorious, to their banquet. 1913 The year 1913 brings several radical changes in the Senate ' s Banquet rules, and incidentally places 1916 on record as the first losing class of Freshmen. The running fight thru town in 1912 was considered a little too shocking to the sensitive nerves of the townspeople so that the rule calling for chapel attendance was dropped; it being hoped that this would prevent complete massing of the classes. The season was also shortened again, rtmning from S A. M. on the first Wed- nesday of May to the second Monday thereafter, inclusive. Also, for the first time, we have a banquet zone or reserve in which all Freshman officers had to be at the beginning of the season and could not leave until twenty-four hours before the banquet. To keep Freshmen from being forced out of the zone a clause for- bidding this was put in and the statement that the banquet could not be held until the first Saturday of the season gave the Sophomores a definite time to work in within the zone. The rule on the zone reads: The banquet reserve shall be bounded as follows; west, Connecticut River, north, Fitchburg division of B. N. R. R., south, Central Mass. division of the B. M. R. R. Up to this time Freshman class officers for the banquet season had been secret- ly elected by a few, picked out by the president, or selected by a committee for that purpose so that oftentimes classes did not know whether their officers were with them or not until told by the election committee. In these rules, howe ' er, directions for electing officers are carefully laid down: Election of Freshman class officers shall be in open class meeting. All present at the meeting must know the officers elected before leaving the meeting in which the ballot is taken. Ninety per cent, of the class must he at this meeting. After all the labor that went into these carefully made rules, it seems too bad that they were not really needed as there was very little excitement in the banquet reserve, the siege of a house on Hallock street being the only real disturbance on Saturday or Sunday. Although there was not mvich excitement in Amherst there was one well directed swoo]i on the ]:)art of the Soj homores, — a little seance in a street in Brooklinc, a short auto journey and the Freshman president was safely in captivity in Soutli 1S2 Framingham. Being of a generous frame of mind the Sophomores took their un- wiUing captive by electrics to Worcester and then treated him to a train ride to Amherst where he rested secure if not content while his classmates waited in vain in faraway Boston for their worthy president to appear to make the banquet a success. His absence, however, was just enough to lose them the banquet so that on May 5, 1913, at the Exchange Club in Boston and at 7 o ' clock sharp in the even- ing the class of 1916 ate the first unsuccessful banquet under Senate rules. 1914 Misery loves company — that is one excuse, or we might begin. ' ' Not to be outdone ; but to give credit where at least a little credit is due we will say: After being ' done ' by 1916 the class of 1917 held the second losing banquet on the afternoon of Monday, May 4th at the Hotel Bond in Hartford. The rules of this season were little different from those of the preceding year, the principal changes being the cutting down of the reserve to the section bounded by the Connecticut River, Sunderland to Deerfield road, Sunderland Street Rail- way line to Amherst and the Valley electric line from Amherst to the Connecticut River — this section to be enlarged by the addition of the triangular piece of land included between Lover ' s Lane, East Pleasant Street and Pleasant Street. An- other change was in the time of the season, the rule reading From 6 P. M. on the first Monday in Alay to the second Friday in May, inclusive . AN OFFICE OF SEVERAL BOSSES 1S3 11 Our, the Freshman, class officers were elected in an open meeting one cloudy night while our friends the Sophomores were enjoying themselves at a little enter- tainment in the drill hall. Though they became anxious about the absence of Freshies in any number they had no inkling of what was in the wind until we, as a class, marched down to the drill hall and proceeded to enjoy the remainder of the entertainment. From that time until the beginning of the banquet season there was a great deal of private investigation (Sophomores secreted under beds and in closets) at the various Freshman ' s houses, but so well were the names of the officers kept that none, or at least very, very few outside the class knew who they were until after the season was well under way. The class was divided into squads of about ten men each, under a leader, and it was the duty of the leader to see that his men got safely away. Various methods were used but the main point of union was on the B. M. tracks where a special train Was to pick up the class at 2 A. M. Monday morning and carry us safely through Amherst to Northampton, then down through Springfield to Hartford, Conn. The train was hired, the officers were put away in hiding and things went along very well until the train reached Hadley on the way back to Northampton with the class on board. Here, when we opened the converted freight car to take out our officers and carry them away with us we found to our dismay, anger and various other sensations that our officers were gone — abducted by 1916 men. And right here is where 1917 earned the reputation of running the most expensive banquet on record. Automobiles scoured the country high and low but the officers were not located and the train drew out of Hadley and headed for Hartford where the class spent most of the day seeing the sights . Hadley, in 1906, was the scene of one banquet scrap and in this year was destined to see another one and one much lustier for its eight years growth. When the banquet was well under way, early in the evening, a call came for twenty roughnecks to return to Hadley and attempt to rescue the officers. By train to Springfield and by auto from there to Hadley in a pouring rain shows the method by which they made the trip. The officers were being held prisoners in the upper room of a shed in Hadley and this, naturally, was the center of attack. Just what happened none can say definitely as the light was one of the first things to go out, but we do know that the affair was interesting enough to have the fire department called out and it was only after a line of hose had been laid and a stream playe d on the scrapping ' 16 and ' 17 men that the melee subsided and affairs straight- ened out. Just what the chances were of getting our officers we will not say as we might be called boasting but the final result was a caUing off of the season and the leaving of the decision of the banquet to the Senate. This body decided in favor of ' 16 and 1917 went on record as the second class — and that consecutively — to lose its Freshman banquet. Of the class officers, five were captured in the freight car. One of them, the class captain, escaped — handcuffs and all — by jumping through a window and made his way to Hartford, but too late for the banquet. Just where the bracelets came from we do not know but they were of such an antique pattern that it was necessary to get a key from the old collection at police headquarters in Springfield in order to free him. The only other officer present, the historian, succeeded in so completely fool- ing the Sophomores that even they still tell of sitting out under his window and shivering in the cold of the early morning while he had gone out under their noses, early in the evening, dressed as a lady and, leaning back comfortably in his bor- rowed plumage, had ridden safely away in an automobile, leaving only an empty room for the waiting Sophomores. 184 If reckless spending of money marked tHe banquet season in 1914, the op- posite was true in 1915 as the result of new rules laid down by the Senate to insure a less expensive celebration. The time of the season was again shghtly shortened, ju Rule 1 reading: V]i The banquet season shall open at 3.00 P. M. on the first Saturday in May ' ijl and shall continue to the following Monday at midnight. ■: ..!j This in itself would have lessened expenses, but Rules 7 and 9 made the spending of much money an impossibility. Rule 7 reads: The banquet must be held on Monday, May :3, not before 6 P. M. and within l jj 35 miles of Amherst by rail. Although this limitation on the distance from Amherst of holding the ban- quet and the time of holding it lessened the chances of the Freshmen, it was more than offset by Rule 9, reading : — - , : ; No member of either class shall use any automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, horse or street car after the special mass meeting Saturday, May 1, until twelve hours before the banquet, and then such use will be allowed only outside the deten- tion zone. As Sophomore activities were confined by rule to the banquet zone which was ; the same as the year before, the use of a good pair of legs was the only method of . , propelling allowed throughout the season. ' I Of the other rules, there were no changes worthy of note, those of the previous ; year proving satisfactory with the exception of a special mass meeting (7) which was called on Saturday morning instead of coming at a regular chapel time as in former seasons. Banquet season excitement began long before the season itself and showed up for the first time when the Freshmen class meeting at which the officers were announced was interrupted by a delegation of interested Sophomores. The Fresh- men plans had been laid so well, however, that the interruption made no difference ; j either way as all announcements of election results were made in code. Previous ;; to spring vacation, nominations for officers had been made and ballots printed. , ;■!! These were distributed, by mail mostly, during the vacation and the result announc- V. ed at the above-mentioned class meeting in a combination code familiar only to ilj ' Freshmen so that if Mr. A was announced as President and Mr. lOU for Treasurer, only Freshmen knew the winning candidate. ji Directly after the special Saturday morning chapel, at which the Sophomores - jl were kept one-half hour longer than the Freshmen, 1918 put several of their officers ,- ' .,] into a wagon and covered them over with blankets to keep their identity secret j; and drove off — with students as horse power . These officers were secreted . :;[ in Mr. Gaskill ' s house, toward North Amherst, and though several Freshmen were -J taken from this house by 1917 men, the officers were not molested and the President . ; ' ' with two others left the house dressed as young ladies the following Monday ' , ' ; ' ' and after crossing the car track were out of the zone and then enjoyed an auto ride to the scene of the banquet, keeping to the back roads and coming into Green- field from above. 185 The other officers — several of whom were on the baseball squad at Williston — were to spend their time at Graves ' in Sunderland where they were to go after the game. In these arrangements there was a little hitch as two families in Sunder- land answer to the name of Graves and the officers got the wrong house. How- ever, when they landed in the wrong one they made it a right one and stayed there until taken away Alonday in automobiles which waited right across the car track outside the zone. Of the two other officers the Vice-President was captured in the right Graves ' house, while the second, after finding both Graves ' surrounded by ' 17 men managed to get lodging at another house and soon after daybreak Monday he was headed toward the boundary line which he crossed on the Sunderland side and headed for Greenfield. The main body of the class had left town as soon as the season began and had spent the time in various places till Monday, when all of them headed for Greenfield also where the banquet was held that evening, May 3, at the Mansion House. Before the banquet was over, all the officers and all but two of the class mem- bers were present, one officer and a dozen others being released by ' 17 early in the evening when it was found that not enough men or officers had been captured to make the banquet a failure. In the last year or two, especially since the expensive affair of 1914, much has been said about discontinuing the banquet season , the reasons being the sav- ing in time and money. To be sure, the time used for the banquet season might well be used to good advantage on studies and the money spent might go to pay up back board at the dining hall, but the fact remains that in no other activity, — athletic, social, or scholastic — does the freshman class as a class gain a stronger union, develop more class spirit, or become a stronger unit of the college of which they are a part. The banquet season is the solidifying factor of the freshman year. Previouslv demoralized classes come out of the banquet season united as one man and able as a whole, to do their best in furthering the affairs of their ovm class and the college. The banquet is a landmark around which all other affairs seem to hinge. In the past they have been bad, they have been good, they have been fair, but whatever dissatisfaction has been caused or whatever damage done through mis- applied class rivalry it is to be hoped that from now on, even as in the years past, each freshman class in the spring of the year may have the opportunity of gaining class solidity, spirit and pep in the continuation of the FRESHMAN BANQUET SEASON ISG COLLEGE ACTIVITIES 187 The brlllLnt tackle. ,„J eod. of the Atnfaerat Ajgle (urn kept H.rv.rd ' . back! from an Mass, Aggies Show Themselves t o Be a Wonderfully Fine Team Games Against Dartmoirth andtTTrr7;;TCrrr , ;,„_ — — iUCKy PLAY LOSES 188 J ' jii ' ni ;5l - mfSi Zd ATHLETICS It.

Only two new places were left to be filled, but a few changes had to be made, because of the graduation of a quarter- back, full-back, and center. Five games have already been played, and although the schedule is the hardest an Aggie team has ever faced, the results thus far show her an even break in games played and far ahead in points scored. Probably the most satis- factory result, as far as students and alumni are concerned, was that of the Harvard game. Altho the score was 7-0 against us, Aggie really outplayed her opponents, and a fluke play in the last two minutes gave the game to Harvard. The creditable showing in this game, as well as in all the others that have been played, has been due to the ex- cellent work of Coach Brides, who signed a one-year agreement after his three-year con- tract had expired. His system and per- sonality have succeeded in a fair way, but in no such way as they deserve, and our best hope for next season ' s team, is that Doc will be here to show us how. HARRY A.

Billy Fitzmaurice is to be with us again this year, and given material with which to work, will develop a team for the coming season which will uphold the good reputation made by for- mer teams at M. A. C. We have lost but two men, including Captain Johnson from the pitching staff, and although hand- icapped by his loss, it is the hope of all loyal Aggie supporters that a winning combination may be developed from the men still left in college. The football team has well made history with a vic- tory in the first game on the new athletic field, and so the baseball team bids fair to have history repeat itself when it plays Dartmouth for the first home game of the season.

Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton and Columbia were among the teams met and in every case the reputation of M. A. C. was upheld. On pa- per the past season would seem to the out- sider to be somewhat of a failure. Biit to the close follower of the game who considers the teams played and the comparative lack of material, there is not a doubt that the team was equal to any collegiate hockey team in the country. This year there is hope for even a better team. Plans for a coach are already under way and the rink will undoubtedly be improved. Only two men, Archibald and Johnson, have been lost by graduation, but it will be hard to fill the places of these players. A well balanced team with a clear slate is the aim of the team this year.

I., Bowdoin, and Rhode Island State and were run off at the various Armory games. Prospects were very bright, when the season opened with a victory over Tufts in the best race of the Coast Artillery games. Russell ' 16, Mostrom ' 16, Sturtevant ' 17, Pratt ' 17, Babbitt ' 18, and Bishop ' 15 were used in the various races and made a creditable showing. In the spring season meet against W. P. I., the lack of men in the field events gave Aggie a bad handicap and Worcester opened her new field with a victory. At the Tufts meet in Mcdford the team was better balanced and Tufts barely won by the margin of two points . At the inter- coUegiates, M. A. C. took her first point when Richards ' 16 beat out a large field and finished fourth in the two mile run. The time of this race was very fast and failed to equal the record of 9 minutes, 35 3-5 seconds by only 1-5 of a second. ERNEST S. RUSSELL, Captain Cros g Countrp The fan of 1914 saw M. A. C. with the best cross country team the college ever had. A new course over Prexy ' s hill and east toward the rifle range and back gave the men a very hard race with Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The fast Worcester men found their match when Richards, Aiken, and Coley finished before their best man was over the line. At the New England Inter-Collegiate meet, the showing was very creditable, Richard finished sixth and Aiken eighth. Maine, M. I. T., Dartmouth, were the only teams to beat us and Aggie in fourth place can feel proud over the defeat of Amherst, Brown, Williams, W. P I., Colby, and Bowdoin.

I think of father ' s old bank-books, And wonder how real money looks. I think of days when I was young, And spent Dad ' s dollars — one by one — And now, by heck, I ' m far away, My money ' s gone — there ' s hell to pay. My summer ' s wages — long since spent — And Kenney must know where they went. I worked my stint in sun and shower For only fifteen cents an hour. I work, but little can I earn, And so the midnight oil I cease to bum. These luxuries cost too much. And frankly, now I am in Dutch. I ' ve flunked my physics and my trig., My English sure is on the pig. And Gordon ' s Zoo., I must confess, Has put me in an awful mess. Sid. Haskell ' s Ag. is just like mud, And how to fertilize a spud. About the subject I don ' t know, . As much now as two years ago, When in the field I worked all day. Hoeing spuds and pitching hay. And now my little tale is o ' er, I ' ll soon be leaving by the door That leads back to the farm and ease, And I ' ll go back to raising peas. And Kenney ' s bills won ' t bother me, No more Old Shylock ' s duns I ' ll see. On buckwheat and sausage too, I ' ll live as only farmers do. But when each year rolls round September, Then will I surely this remember: No longer I ' m in Shylock ' s clutch, No longer am I now in Dutch, For when my hard day ' s work is done, I ' ll count my thousands, one by one. 276 OUR IDEA or A GOOD TIME OToe !  oe ! «oe ! And it came to pass in the days of good king Lefty ■ .- i --j. that a great thirst spread thru all the land. Woe! to the Aggie-ites. Woe! to the Am- herst-ites. There was smot- iQg and belting of eyebrows and a great famine was thru- out all the land. Now on the 24th day of the 5th month a servant of the High King set himself out to discover a new oasis. After wandering for many moons and yea even many suns, he came to a place called the Elmwood. Being sore tired he entered. But he found too many that came be- fore him and he returned sore vexed. The king then did call his wise-guys around him and told them of the calamity. And one being wiser than the rest did know a land where the peoples did labor on paper. The king entrusted this wise one with 59 eggshells of the Royal Exchequer to go in search of this wonderful land. The wise-guy went and stayed three days and even three nights in this new place. The king was sore worried at this delay, but on the evening of the third day the wise one retumeth and spake in awed tones of this great land. The king did go then himself and returned on the 5th night. Then the people did know that the land of plenty had been found and great was the rejoicing thni-out all the land. Wfjen tte Women ote Smashing the Smith line and racing around the Smith ends, the Wellesley war- riors sent the Northampton team down to defeat on Smith field Saturday by a score of 1-t-O, etc. The Wellesley captain won the toss a id chose the north goal with the sun at her back. Smith ran the ball back to her o vn 40 yard line. Here a fumble took place and the Boston team by terrific line plunging carried the ball over for the initial tally. Capt. Livermore kicked the goal. The second touch-down came in the third period as the result of a series of long end runs and a lateral pass. T he goal was kicked — again. Tea was served at Rahar ' s to the visitors after the game. Cfte illoiJern Mo tl Poor Cuthbert decided to end it all. Lor had trun him o ' er. Picking out a quiet spot on a Lynn ferryboat he shed his fuzzy vest and Walk Over hoofs (not an add). Surveying the briny for a soft resting place, he prepared for his last annual . Just then who should appear but Terresa, the Herring King ' s daughter. She lamped the H2O in his soulfull globes and divining his sad thoughts, offered him three Packards and a Ford tender to reconsider and be her ' n. Cuth- bert told her to call at his office for the final answer. The following Monday they bought a little delicatessan in Chelsea and lived happily ever after. 277 Mv Cot at assie My cot over there in the comer, To this room is a meager adomer, With dimensions only six by three, Some people can not really see How you ' re of any use to me. Thy springs are stretched, Thy bars are bent , Thy castors all are lost: Yet still withstand the rack and wrench, Of flopping down without remorse. Hash House Spet ialtieS When I ' ve studied long and late, On finals or on Wordsworth ' s lore. With thee I can relax complete — Thou carest not how much I snore. No four-post high-bed tempts me now- In your old pillow, I sink my prow. You good old bed, you ne ' er complain If I till ten in bed remain. Were other pleasures gone from me, I would not care a mite — I ' d only ask beseechingly To roll up in thy blankets tight.

We have to jump over all the numerals, salute Profs, and Seniors, enforced by Sophs, and believe me they are wise. This noon I went swimming, but I didn ' t enjoy it because I had -a headache, something very unusual, I think it was the food at the hash house, but I ' m feeling better to-night. It is about 90 in the shade and varsity football team is playing, and believe me they are sore. I would have written be- fore, but I put your address amongst my stationery and put that in my trunk which came a day late. But please excuse me. Will you? The scenery is beau- tiful and I just love it. Now, Helen, my mail will be 0. K. because I spoke to my landlady and she said she would look after it. Our freshman class is very large, about 220 students. To-night we are going to have a secret rope-pulling practice, after dark, supposed to be unknown to the sophs. I am not going to play football, but I am going to play baseball in a series against the sophs. My room-mate is a peach of a fellow, very quiet, studious, and seems to be very pleasant. My room is very pleasant also 3 large windows and 2 large beds. ' ' I don ' t like to talk about your principles, but really and truly think they are 0. K. I am going to adopt the same principles, because I think I ought to for your sake or because you are observing them. Don ' t you believe it a good idea? My mother thanks you very much for remembering her, she is all broke up, es- pecially now that both Carl and I have gone. Last night Karl and I played at our house and had a very pleasant evening. Now, Helen, dear, and I mean it, suppose I wait for my regular Wed. mail written by you, and I will receive it about Sat. A. M. and answer it Sat. P. M., late. Will that b e all write? It is getting time to beat it because the sophs are gathering for supper, I am writing this letter in a summer house near the dining hall. Give my regards to the girls, please, goodbye. ' ' Yours most sincerely, 1919. 288 We ' re all in the dumps, For Billy is trumps, The results are on the Dean ' s board ! The sophs, are bit. The frosh in a fit, For Bilty, the Czar, is a lord. LESS NOISE, SHORTHORN ! PREPARING FOR PHYSICS 289 It was a moonlight night ' ' On the 18th. of April in 75, Scarcely a man is now alive. The telephone rang. Leisurely laying down his copy of Snappy Stories , Paul Revere strolled towards it, blinked, scratched his head, and stopped. Oh, the devil! If that ' s for me, it will ring again . He continued reading — The girl was now absolutely- at loss. Her pink chiffon, trimmed with filly de poo poo, was all wine stained, and really her chapeau was a mess. No, the Follies of 1775 were out of the question for that night and — The bell rang again. This time, Paul slammed down the book with an angry exclamation. In one stride, he gained the phone: Hello! What the h — 1 do you want? Hello! Hello! Hello! Is this Revere ' s house? Yes, what do you want? ' ' Hello ! Is this Boston 6665-M ? No. That ' s my motor-cycle license. Hello! Is this Paul Revere? Yes, what do you want? Wait a minute, till I get a better connection. A pause. Hello, hello! Is this you Paul? Yes, who is this? This is John Adams talking. Hello, John, how are you? Pretty good. How ' s yourself, Paul? None better. What ' s the odds on Harvard to-morrow? I don ' t know, but I understand Mahan ' s in again. ' ' Say, John, didn ' t I see you out with one of the Hancock girls to-day? Yes. Why? Oh, nothing. Pretty kippy dame, John, you old spooler. ' ' Never mind, I saw you crawling along Revere Beach with a pretty smooth dame yourself. Whence the damsel ? Oh, that was one of the nurses from the British Hospital ship. Pretty wise, John, says she ' s been to England. Say, Paul, are you going to the game to-morrow? Sure. Stop in on your way by. Are you going to take the State Hmousine, or one of those jitneys? ' ' I lent the limousine to Lord Howe to reconnoiter in and he found every crystal palace from Dorchester to Lynn, so I guess I ' ll walk. Oh, by the way, Paul, that makes me think. I got pretty good dope on the British. They are 290 all going out to Lexington to a dance to-night. Perhaps you ' d better spread the alarm before all the girls are taken. Good idea, John, I ' ll do that. All right, don ' t forget. See you tomorrow. ' ' Sure . Good night . ' ' They hang up. Paul quickly grabs his receiver from the hook again; Hello, Nellie. You on the board again to-night? Sure. (Crunch, crunch — gummy sounds). This you, Paul? Yes, this is Paul. What are you doing tomorrow night? What do you want, Paul — dear? (Persuasive tone) What do you say to a little steak all alone at the Atlantic House? Paul, you ' re a dear, I ' ll wear my new suit. (To clinch the argument). Good night, Paul. ' ' Good night, Nell. ' ' (Smack) (Over the phone — smack !) Paul sits down, holds his head in his hand for awhile, then steps to the call bell. Presently a servant enters. Paul arises and hands him a slip of paper. James, will you have three thousand of these printed up and distributed thru Greater Boston? Going to run for Congress again, Mr. Revere, sir? None of your business, James, get out. The circulars were distributed and greatly resembled this: Minute Men to Arms The British threaten to take all the girls of Lexington and Con- cord tomorrow night for their dance at Odd Fellows ' Hall. To prevent such a catastrophe, all girls must be engaged for said evening, or their whereabouts ascertained. Waste no time. America expects every man to do his duty. (Signed) The Vigilance Committee. Per P. Revere, Sec. And so the British were foiled. In the meantime, Paul, after another cigarette and another whiskey and soda, finished his story and sought the downy white at an earlier hour than he had for many a week. ' ' And the people will wake and listen to hear The midnight message of Paul Revere. 291 Pracficfll Jlomlfm s in jHemoriam to tte rena parties; Bieti 1915 292 In iHemoriam to 0nt €o€H Trair in§ at MAC 293 September, 1914 a ctotjEC, 1914 9 — College year begins, 177 frosh. 1 — Exhibition drill at Greenfield Fair. 10 — First bonfire and outdoor mass 2 — Founders ' Day, Trustees meet. meeting. 3— Aggie defeats ' Holy Cross, 14-0. 11 — ' 17 pulls ' IS into the pond. 4 — Saville goes fussing again. 12 — Nightshirt parade breaks up re- 5 — ' 17 wins 6-man rope pull by 7 turning from center. inches. lo — Prexy speaks in first Sunday 6 — ' 16 Index throws a line in the chapel.

In the fulfilment of its mission the College undertakes the work of Investigation, Resi- dent Instruction and Extension Service. Invsstigation follows three distinct lines: (1) scientific research, through which are discovered new laws governing the growth of plants and animals, (2) experimentation, which seeks to ascertain the best methods of applying science to practice , and (3) the agricultural survev or inventory of agricultural conditions and possibilities. The purpose of Instruction given to resident students is to prepare them for the agri- cultural vocations and also to train them in the principles of good citizenship. Students pursuing the regular four years ' course may specialize in any of the following named depart- ments : Agriculture Landscape Gardening Agronomy Pomology Animal Husbandry Agricultural Chemistry Dairying Economic Entomology Poultry Husbandry Plant Physiology and Pathology Floriculture Microbiology Forestry Agricultural Education Rural Social Science Rural Journalism Undergraduate courses are also offered in a large number of departments the work of which is not arranged as a major. The Graduate School admits college graduates for advanced study in agriculture, botan ' , chemistry, entomology, horticulture, mathematics, microbiology, veterinary ' science, zoolog ' , and rural social science.
