so thai the student is do Longer tempted to step from ;i frosty hall into ;i near-by class i- n iil to meel ;i still greater freeze-up from the icy gbu of .1 pro- fessor too wrapped up in sines, cosines, and infinity to dismiss his class by the lirsi bell . ' Nov students are Loath to leave the balls. We peek into a large north room which, for ;i number of years, bas been the attractive headquarters of visiting alumni. Well we remember when the V moved into its new quarters in the southwest corner, we shivered and shook while we declaimed before a class in Oratory. The north half was the librarj in our preparatory daj s. We go up the worn stairs and the class rooms seem about the same. We recall when the new. (lark brown, stationary seats replaced the old chairs upon which we wrote for reference declensions and conjugations in German and French. The Arl rooms which once chan I us an- gone and in their place are class rooms. Strains of music are issuing forth from the same corner as of twenty years ago. We go on up to the third floor and oul of the same room of yesterdaj pops the faithful bell ringer, who is surprised to learn thai the band room was mice shared by the Zeta societj and their brothers and later bequeathed to the Zeth Juniors. The corresponding section across the hall, a pari of which is nov the Collegian office, was occupied by the Aonias and Philos. Leaders of marked ability were developed in those old halls : Sciei Hall is left untouched to remove the feeling of strangeness from visit- ing alumni. It looks the ame. feels the sane, and smells the same with one exception. A planl spares the delving ones the excitemenl of an occasional flare of an alcohol lamp. We look for ■ specimens in botany, which the beloved professor encouraged us to colled in our innocenl childhood days, but the beauti- ful red and purple shades and iridescence of the red algae so carefully placed in a dark cupboard have been exposed to the sunlighl and faded out to a dirty tan en I i.r. We depart a little disappointed over the wreck of the results of our hours of labor. In the Librarj we admire the beautiful mounted peacock, a handsome cluck, a piei f fine Swiss w 1 carving, a brass lamp, centuries old, and other valuable gifts. We note a heavy case of old documents tactfulh placed across the side entrance where ofti n we used to escape when we heard the gentle footsteps of a wrathful Librarian mine through the archway. The Chapel, like South Hall and Science Hall, seems about the same, and human nature, too, about the same fur. as of yore, I see students peeking into their texts. The college mascot, a large white bird dog, joins the student bodj at chapel, his dignity unimpaired bj the coal dust on his coat. Beneath the chapel, in the dining room of old North Hall, the girls are working nut experi meiiis in calories. Here also, in preparation for our departure for California, we might have added to our depleted wardrobe from an attractive array of middies, silk dresses, and other garments. The remaining spi on this floor is I ' l ' i tot In- commercial depart menl . What a pleasing si. dii is the nev gymnasium of brick with a beautiful stage on the east, with kitchen adjoining where are centered the culinarj activities of college parties, in the basement mi the north are girls ' dressing rooms and showers; similar rooms for men on the south, with a swimming pool between. This beautiful gymnasium gives US I he eh max of pleasure, and here in this lovely place our visit is ended. .Mies, c until Greene lit qhes, 1904.
