His preparation was made at a preparatory school in Pennsburg, Pa., his native town. lie was graduated in the class of ’87 at Ursinus. There are still rumors extant that while in college the Doctor was one of “ the boys,”—sincere and earnest in his work, yet ever ready for legitimate fun and an innocent joke. After graduation he entered Bellevue Hospital Medical College, from which he was graduated in 1889. Subsequently he spent a short time as a student at the New York Post Graduate School of Medicine. In the fall of 1889 he matriculated at Grant University, Athens, Tenn., from which institution he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1891. In the fall of 1891 he was elected to the chair of Natural History at New Windsor College, Maryland, which position he held until the following year, when he entered Johns Hopkins University, for the purpose of continuing his study of biology. After completing a year's work at Johns Hopkins, he was elected Dean of Claremont College, N. C. In 1893 he delivered the Alumni Oration at his alma mater. His stay at Claremont College was of short duration, for Ursinus had need of him. In January of 1894 he was called upon to open and take charge of the Department of Biology at Ursinus College. It is in this field that the remainder of his yet comparatively short life's work has been accomplished. Kntering upon his position with no established precedent, crude laboratories before him. and very few students with which to l egin his couise, he has accomplished marvelous results. To-day the Chemical and Biological Laboratories of Ursinus College, for working laboratories, rank with the best in the state. The Chemical-Biological department and course are probably the most firmly established of any offered by the institution. Graduates of this department are admitted to the second year of all the medical colleges in Pennsylvania. The Medico-Chirurgical offers a free scholarship each year to the graduate who has attained the highest grade of scholarship in his course. The head of this department takes no low place as an educator. The highest aim of his teaching is to direct the student to observe for himself and to interpret what he sees. He is the constant companion of the student taking his branches. 11 He fairly lives in his laboratory, and always is at hand for consultation. He seeks to put the student upon his honor, and inculcates a thirst for scientific knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself. Few professors exercise milder discipline, yet in no lecture room or laboratory is observed better order and decorum, and absences occur less frequently. Dr. Mensch usually spends his summers at Wood's Hull. Mass., in investigation at the Marine Biological Laboratory. Last summer part of his time was spent at Beaufort, X. C.. where he collected different southern marine animals for use in his laboratories. The principal subject of his study and investigation is that of Marine Annelids. He is making extensive collections of specimens for a working museum in Biology, to the establishment of which he is looking forward. In 1897 I)r. Mensch read a paper on “ Stolonization in Antolytus Yarians, before the American Morphological Society, which met at Cornell I'niversity. He is a contributor to the “ Zoologischer Auzeiger,” Leipzig, Germany, and to the “Journal of Morphology.” He is a member of the American Morphological Society, the American Society of Naturalists, and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. Arrangements are being made so that he can spend 1900-01, his sabbotical year, in investigation at the zoological station, Naples, Italy, in connection with work he means to take at one of the German universities. Dr. Mensch s busy life is only fairly begun. _ His efforts are just beyond their initial stages. We see a bright future ahead, towards which the Class of 1900 wish him God-speed. 12 V 1 )ALEND AR| t 1 Mav 2 Tuesday,.... School of Theology, commencement, 8 P. M. 30, Tuesday,.... National Day. 31.

Four times lias the curtain risen, and the fourth act will soon join the others in the glorious realms of the past. The final chapter in the history of the Class of ’99, as far as its life under the protecting and fostering care of Ursinus is concerned, must now be written. Four years ago, when the founders of this colony reached this pleasant and inviting country, in spite of the beauty of the scenery, the imposing look of the Memorial Hall, the awe-inspiring appearance of the Senior tribe, and the paternal solicitude of the chief ruler and his attendants—in spite of all these favorable influences, there was, nevertheless, a strange feeling of unrest stirring within the breast of each adventurer, a stifled yearning for the home and all that had been left behind. It seemed hard at first to bear the name of Freshmen, for some of us had really been great before we came here. Some had made Sunday-school speeches, some had been indisputable lords of rural school districts, others had stumped their district for Cleveland, and still others were graduates. Hut the world as yet did not recognize our greatness, and all alike had to be humbled. It required the greater part of the first year to work up this heterogeneous mass into something like homogeneity. I11 those early days great stress was laid 011 marks—for every Freshman had a profound consciousness that his future usefulness depended on his marks. (We have since changed our opinions slightly on that point.) Hut we must not linger—how our colony flourished in its early days,—how valiantly it met its foes,—how it curbed the impetuosity and presumption of the colonial bands that arrived in later years,—and how, after ably exemplifying Darwin's theory concerning the survival of the fittest, it settled down to the peaceful enjoyment of those privileges which descended to it (occasionally by inheritance, most often by virtue of the laws of conquest)—all these things have already been recorded by previous scribes. We can be lenient in our judgment of the Freshman to-day localise we know what it is to be despised for our ignorance and pitied for our helplessness ; we have been Sophomores too, and felt as if Freshmen should apologize to us for their very existence; we have experienced the fanciful imaginations of a Junior—we have had a taste of it all, until now we have established our equilibrium, we have laid aside our frivolity, and with an increased amount of dignity, wisdom and hard work, have become grave and sober-minded Seniors. It is unbecoming to pride one’s self on one’s ancestry, it should first be considered whether our ancestry would be willing to pride themselves upon us, accordingly the Class of '99 realizes that however noble its past career, it must not rest satisfied with those achievements but continue to provide new material for the Historian. Our record of events was closed in March, 1898. About this time the staff was busied with the preparation of the Ri by of ’99, with what success you are familiar. Much has occurred since then which we would like to unfold to our readers, but modesty (the class characteristic) and respect for individual feeling forbids us. After the summer vacation we returned to assume our new responsibilities as Seniors,—the Faculty, after grave deliberation and not without some qualms of conscience had assigned our former place as Juniors to the timid-looking crowd who had vainly been attempting to follow in our footsteps. As no body of precious material is ever so coherent that the progress of time will effect no change, even the coherency of the Senior class has had to be disturbed. Under the ardent rays of the summer sun, two precious particles melted away and have since been flowing in other directions, but the early western winds of autumn have wafted into our midst another particle, enabling the class to remain the same in weight, though decreased in number. Although none can take the places of those who have left us, we ai'e glad to find a new place filled and welcome into our midst one who has shown herself worthy of belonging to our class. Our ways have not all been “ways of pleasantness” nor have all our paths been peace. Memory passages have haunted us many weary nights and even “gentle sleep, Nature’s soft nurse” could not “raze out the written troubles from the brain.“ Truly we were justified in saying “Macbeth does murther sleep,” but, urged by a stern voice from the class-room, crying “Thus thou must do, if thou have it, we screwed our courage to the sticking-place and emerged from the fitful fever of examination with the satisfactory reflection, “What’s done is done.” In all the various interests of the college our class has always been distinctly identified. Each year has seen it ablv represented in the football team, blending 28 in the enchanting harmonies of the glee club, faithful to duty, as a rule, iti the class-room, striving to live so that Labor Omnia Vincit may be mirrored in its actions. Our associations as a class have been pleasant, and we trust a bright future lies open before each of us.—but though it promises increased freedom, though it invites new companionships, the attractions of the world, its applause and appreciation cannot make us forget those bonds which will ever unite us to our alma mater. 11ISTORI AN. 31 (Ebc junior Motto I'ythOt Iz' OnY.

EAR is gone since our former chronicler laid his style aside and the ink upon its tip has long since dried. The present scribe with new waxen tablets takes up the long neglected instrument and briefly traces the history of our class during the year that has fled and is now covered under the stifling cerements of the past.” The first period of importance upon which we must dwell is the Commencement Week of our Sophomore year. These were the momentous days of the class of ’98, the days which were the constellation toward which their eyes had been directed through four long years of study and research. It became our solemn duty and exalted privilege to usher these bookworn scholastics out into the actual affairs and practical responsibilities of life and to receive from their hands the care and keeping of their sacred ivy. How deeply were we impressed by these incidents of the Commencement Day. Vet our hearts had sorrow to bear for other cause. Three of our own number were, likewise, to leave us and would no more return to gladden our hearts with their fellowship or strengthen our bands with their vigorous and acknowledged powers. The jovial parson Bisbing, the warm hearted Hottenstein and the polished and astute Steiner,—all these towers of strength were soon to be left in our minds only as glimmering reflections of former happy and delightful associations. Vet in the midst of these grievous hours, on the eve of Commencement Day, the playful Freshmen, all unmindful of the demands of their own dawning dignity as Sophomores, skulked around like jackals until after midnight thinking that we contemplated a conflagration of their caps and canes. Alas, how little did they suspect that their precious playthings had long before made a rollicking voyage upon the rippling waters of the Perkiomen and thence had calmly sailed upon the motherly bosoms of the Schuylkill and the Delaware Rivers to the Delaware Bay, which in turn had introduced them to the boisterous waters of the old Atlantic, upon whose sandy bottom they are even now being sported by the sylphlike mermaids in all their frolicsome gambols. 33 Our summer vacation came, but was soon only the lingering consciousness of pleasures that were gone. The ides of September found us once more assembled, a little band of sixteen. We stood upon the threshold of our Junior year and our text was, “It doth not yet appear what we shall be.” This gnawing uncertainity as to the future was but the gruesome impression which our noble predecessors had wrought upon our minds by their constant complaints about the increasing burden of their studies. Their annual lament is that the studies of each year become more difficult as they advance, but our experience has always been the reverse. How did they deceive us this time? Is it possible that their experience arises from the natural obtuseness of their minds? Utterly impossible! It is asserted (by themselves) that they are the most brilliant class whose shadow has ever darkened the pavements of our learned corridors. It must indeed be that they are the most abused class in college, that they are the victims of the rising standard, bearing in one body the burdens of the a?icicn regime and the experiments of the new order. How fortunate that the burden has fallen upon such a brilliant class and not upon the poor dullards who succeed them, the class of 1900. O thou, the sceptre bearing Zeus, we thank thee. We have learned during the past year that “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” especially when the examinations came and we found that our little was not enough. We have, as usual, pursued our courses in Greek, Latin, German. French and History. In addition, we have this year become parasites delving into the organism of Biology, we have become fakirs on the broad highway of Elocution and Argumentation, we have travelled in the land of knowledge as third-class passengers on the train of Political Economy and have journeyed over the vast ocean of higher culture as steerage passengers on the good ship Psychology. Neither Biology nor Physics have been revolutionized by our researches, no thrones have been overturned by our “cataracts of eloquence,” no political fabrics have been shattered by our economic theories and no new mental phenomena have been unearthed bv our psychological introspections. Surely, we at least can say with Solomon, “There is nothing new under the sun” and, after long and futile attempts to accumulate knowledge, put our stamp of approval upon his judgment when he says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom ; and with all your getting get understanding.” 34 —Historian. (Ebe juniors. ITER APPKNZKI.KKR. A stands f«� r Appenzeller and, also, foralti-tude. Eih'.ak Kittkk Ai’I� kkzf.i.i.Kk is a native of Philadelphia. Here he acquired the first rudiments of education, and after graduating from public school with honor, he entered the large wholesale establishment of Hood, Foulk-rod and Co., where he served faithfully for two years. Hut his talents fitted him for educational pursuits and not for business. He entered Ursinus Academy in 1894 and has since absorbed a vast amount of knowledge, which is the “product of leisure.” He is at present standing at the head of his class, that is, alphabetically. He is basso profundo in the famous” Ursinus quartette, trills the pick among the firsts in the Mandolin Club and is manager of this season’s baseball team. And since with the kink out of his back, he stands six feet, two, in his hose, long live Appenzeller. EDWIN FOR REST This is the pope, who holds in holy vassal-age the fair inmates of Olevian Hall. Edwin Fokkkst BickKI. is a feather which has been wafted to Ursinus from Pillow, Dauphin county, Pa. He is a graduate of Mercersburg Academy and had a year’s experience at teaching in Snyder county. He was class president last term ; sings first bass in the (Jlee and is the efficient business manager of the bulletin. He is interested in Y. M. C. A. work and served the association this year in the capacity of corresponding secretary. His wonderful personality, prepossessing figure and strikingly pretty face makes him popular among the students and the ladies. He is second assistant, editor of the Ruhy and, perhaps, wrote what you don’t iike in this book. He is taking the Chemical Biological course and will take a course in a medical college after graduation. BICKKI.. MT ----- ||H| EDGAR RU 35 HOWARD KDGAR BODDKR. Howard Edgar Boddkr, orator, drummer and electrician, is a product of Bucks county. In 1893 he entered the Academy at Riegelsville, Pa., from which institution he was graduated with the valedictory honor three years later. Howard is a man of extensive experience. In his Freshman year he made himself famous as a drummer boy and taxidermist. The “cuckoo” was too much for him so he gave up the latter vocation. On the gridiron heisa wonder. The vim and ‘'fierceness” with which he executes every play will eventually win for him a position on the All-American Football Team. As an orator he has no equal. His speech in favor of electing U. S. Senators by popular ballot was so vigorous that all recitations had to be suspended for the time being. Like a woman his ••life is a history of affection. The heart is his world.” He will enter the ministry. RICHARD CLOWARD CASSlvLBKRRY RICHAKI C 1.0W A KI) C ASSHI.BEK R v, ot herw i se known as “Pud,” is indigenous to Montgomery county soil. His plump, well proportioned form shows how well it has nurtured him. “Pud” has gone to school from childhood reaching college via Ursinus Academy. He wears the championship medal as running high jumper, played sub on ’98 football team, and is one of the speediest men upon the track team. “Pud” is noted especially for having become of age on the third of October, for having made a trip to New York during Thanksgiving recess, and for being the biggest bundle of conteutedness in the tribe of 1900. His Junior year has been marked by assiduous devotion to the study of Elocution and English. In debate, his clear and cogent reasoning has overthrown opponents and his fiery eloquence has roused audiences to action. After his college course, “Pud” will study and practice Homcepathy. 36 HARRY JACKSON KHRKT. Behold the Nazarcne, meek and lowly —in a picture, but in reality what a difference ! Hakky Jackson Eiikkt hails from the Northampton county Nazareth and think that no good thing can come out of any place but Nazareth. At one time he was willing to match his strength with any occupant of the East Wing but he was a Freshman then. He taught in the public schools of his native county during 1893 95. He prepared at Ursinus Academy sharing the Freshman Admission Prize Scholarship with Carl G. Petri. He is class president and president of his society. He is a close student and has mastered the languages: he dreams in Pennsylvania Herman. Some of his superfluous “nerve” was lost through a “call-down” in Logic, and through being “ flagged in a neighboring village. He will either preach or teach. FRANCIS JONAS GILDNER. Francis Jonas Gii.unkr, one of the good old Dutch stock, with a heart as big as a half bushel, comes from Lehigh down.” He reached college by way of Ursinus Academy. He is a member of the Orchestra and of the (Ilee Club. During the last year Gildner has shown marvellous social development. He still, however, runs his sheriff's office on the “prairie” and cuts hair between whiles. His future is yet clouded. Lately he has distinguished himself by coming out as a staunch advocate of the mono-metallic gold standard. As a practical economist among liis Pennsylvania German kinsmen he might be a success. He says he thinks he could do most anything, this being rather indefinite data as to a future profession, prediction as to his vocation is difficult. CHARLES B. HKINLY. Chaki.ks B. IIkini.y hails from the county of Berks. He graduated from the Kutztown State Normal School in 1895, and prepared for college the ensuing year at Ursinus Academy. Previous to his Normal course he taught in the public schools for two years. He was class president in his Freshman year; is a local editor of the Bulletin and is chief artist of the Ruby staff. Since his Sophomore year he has been teaching arithmetic in Prepdom. (This position he holds only through the magnanimity of the Dean since his participation in the cap and cane scandal.) In connection with his arduous duties as a Junior, Heinly is writing a theological treatise entitled “Growing in Grace.” Married life will, no doubt, be his major, while as a minor he may possibly take up teaching or preaching. EDWIN MOYER HKRSHEY. Edwin Moykk Hkrshky is a product of Dauphin county. He taught in the public schools of his native county for four years. He was graduated from Shippensburg State Normal School in 94. Coming directly from the school room he entered Freshman, during which year in college he was remarkably successful in faking off all his conditions. His work as a substitute upon the first football team deserves credit. He sings tenor in the Glee Club, and upon its trips attracts very much attention. Nowhere is Hershey so much in his own element as in the business world. He is one of tlie few book agents for Dickerson Company who never takes a no. He has been manager of the Ursinus BoardingClub and the GleeClub. The 1900 Ruby staff take pride in him as their hustling business manager. 38 KATIE ELIZABKTH LAROS. Katik Elizahkth Lahos is a native of Lehigh county, but has lived permanently in Collegeville for a number of years. She lias been longer at Ursiuus than any of her classmates. Having' started in the lowest class in the Academy, she has literally started at the first round of the ladder and now stands one round from the top. She is the only girl who has graced our numbers as a college class and, during all her connection with us, has been one of our staunchest and most loyal members. She is an accomplished pianist and in that capacity has rendered herself indispensable in the College Orchestra. It was some rude fellow who designated her as a rosebud set with little wilful thorns.” Perhaps he did not know how a “rosebud” ought to be handled and had been pricked. GUSTAVE KUGIvNE OSWALD. Gustavk Euoknk Oswald is one of the horde of barbarians who in divers times past have invaded the peaceful soil of Collcgcville from the ancient village called New Tripoli in Lehigh county. He graduated in the class of ’95 at Kutztown State Normal School and taught school for one year. He occasionally goes home to teach for diversion and it is said that lie is popular among the pupils. Even school children like something “easy.” He has a nickname which begins with “S ; it is Schleify. but it might just as well be “shorty.” He sings first bass in the College quartette and when it is desirable for the audience to see him. he is supplied with a pedestal tostaud on. His future is undecided, but he will make his mark in the world, even if it is only a grease spot. 39 CARL GEORGE PETRI. Carl GkokGK Pktri is of German extraction. His home is in Philadelphia where he obtained his early education. For several years he was employed by John Wanamaker. and had it not been for his determination to enter upon a course of study, he would have been promoted to a higher position one on the second floor. His ability as a philosopher and poet has won for him widespread renown. Carl was the first president of 1900; is assistant editor of the Ruby, and is leader of the Mandolin club. In the Fall of 1897 the President appointed him postmaster at Ursinus College. His deepest thoughts find expression in trochaic rythm. In love affairs he is “young.” Just a year ago Cupid's dart penetrated his heart for the first time. He will enter the ministry and, perhaps, will become a missionary. HENRY BECK REAGLE. Hunky Beck Rkagi.E comes from Mt. Bethel, Northampton county. He reached college via Portland High School and Ursinus Academy. His brother took care of him until his Sophomore year. “Hen sings bass in the Glee club and was a member of the sight singing class. He belongs to the Junior “six-foot trio” and lives oil the “prairie” when he isn’t “down on the banks of the Perkiomcn.” Henry made a record for himself on the class foot-ball team and in the gymnastic exhibition. He has held several society offices and has considerable forensic ability. There is a little of the pessimistic in his nature and he sometimes cusses himself and things in general. He is pursuing the classical course but is undecided in reference to his future occupation. He will, however, “stand high” in whatever profession he chooses. 40 RICHARD ALBERT RINKER. Richard Ai.bkkt Kinkek registers from East Mauch Chunk, Carbon county. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Weatherly. He learned the trade of printer and was employed on the Weatherly Herald and on the Mauch Chunk Daily A'cuts at different times. He is an alumnus of East Stroudsburg State Normal School. During 1894-96 he was engaged in teaching. He writes the athletic notes for the Bulletin and played on the ’98 baseball team. He is Recording Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. There is some music in his make-up as those constantly subjected to his flute solos can testify. He rooms with Christman and during the latter’s sickness did heroic service in the capacity of professional nurse, helping in the “analysisof the case.” Some may think him eccentric but he reveals himself to a chosen few. He will enter the ministry. JOHN EDWARD STONE. John Edward Stone, one of that kind of country chaps who become famous, was reared in Huntingdon county. He taught in the public schools for two years. 1893-95, and received his preparatory education in the Normal department of Juniata College. Huntingdon, Pa..and at Ursinus Academy. Stone was the third president of l‘ oo. He is Editor-in-chief of the Ruby: has charge of the College World department of the Bulletin, and was president of the Y. M. C. A. in 1898-99. He is an accomplished penman and teaches penmanship to the Preps. His words are few but chosen. Stone is a fellow who shutteth his lips and is esteemed a man of understanding.” The ministry is his chosen profession, in which he will become prominent, and will, probably, be elected president of Ursinus some day. 41 LEWIS ROVER THOMPSON. Lewis Royer Thompson is a native of Col leg-evil le. Being a parson’s son his life has been somewhat migratory, having lived at different times in various parts of Pennsylvania and for several years in Virginia. His preparation for college was made at Bridgewater (Va.) Academy and at Ursinus Academy. He learned t lie trade of printer and is a member of the firm of Thompson Brothers, Printers, Collcgeville, I’a. He is quiet and unostentatious; seldom speaks but when he does he has something to say. He represents the school of Stoic philosophers. “Great geniuses, says Kmerson, “have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them.” Roy “has no external biography.” If he was ever in love, we heard nothing of it. Some day he will hang out his shingle, “L. R. Thompson. Attorney-at-Law.” JOHN SCOTT TOMLINSON. John Scott Tommnson is one of a few great men who were not born on the farm “Tom” is a native of Philadelphia. After his public school career he spent some time in business pursuits. He then entered Temple College where he remained a year, coming to Ursinus Academy in 1895. Tom” is siti generis. When the cane question was up for discussion in his Freshman year he joined the anti-Quav(ted) faction and made a two-hour speech. He rooms on Fifth avenue and at Skippack. Sometimes he has whiskers and sometimes he hasn't. In politics he is a Prohibitionist and is emphatically opposed to “Roman punch.” [see Chronicles Feb. 23 in '99 Ruby]. He is the last of a tribe of Wesleyans who invaded this land in 1895. ‘ Tom” is a genial, whole-souled Metho- dist parson. 42 ■ former 21Icmbcrs of of 1900.

Since the mantle has fallen upon us, we ask that we may have a double portion of the sympathies of all those who may read our attempted history of the heroic achievements, which have attended the class of 1901 during the past year. In such a brief history we feel our inability to do justice to a class, which for mental stamina, for depth and breadth of view, is much renowned. The class of 1901 is in full harmonv with the surroundings of its “Alma Mater,” and is unique in its accomplishments. Though the little bark, in which we set sail more than a year ago, has been storm-tossed and baffled by the waves, she yet floats peacefully and calmly, flying the same colors which have been borne by strong hands through chaotic battle. We will now pull back the curtains and introduce you to the class whose history you are reading. Here we are ! A band of earnest inquirers after truth. We are full of energy. Vacation days have restored to 11s our former mental vigor. Let us now call the roll. All present but Purdy! After the usual greetings we separated and at our leisure we matriculated as Sophomores. When the hour for opening school came the familiar tones of the college bell pealed out from the old belfry informing 11s that “Chapel time” had again come. After chapel we sought the class rooms with eager haste, fearing lest a newcomer might deprive us of our accustomed seats. Mow glad we were to again find ourselves encircling the table from behind which the deep, familiar voice exclaimed: “Fire up young man,” or “Do you think that you’re learning Greek?” Another room was entered and again we hear: “A hundred and eleventeen a, please.” In the remaining class rooms new faces were raised toward 11s,—faces with which we have since grown familiar. You have been told that two ladies graced our class and so they did. But they have left 11s, and bereft 11s, left us never to return. 4G Fears were now entertained that we would be a “stag class, and that we would have to plod on through the perplexing problems of college life without the inspiring presence of the fair sex. But these sad and gloomy thoughts were soon to be dispelled by the presence of another lady who joined us. The second week of school brought other additions to us and now we outnumber any other class in college. It is needless to say that among our number there are prospective students for almost every profession. That there are prodigies in our class will be verified bv visiting the “Philosopher's” room. Being fairly established in our class work we now felt that it was our duty to look about for the class which was to succeed us. It was not our intention to be harsh with our successors and to act toward them as though we meant to punish the least breach of decorum by annihilation, but we desired to impart to them some very useful knowledge, which we derived from experience while we were Freshmen. After making what we feared would l e a fruitless search, our attention was directed to a group of small boys standing just outside the window of the Dean’s office. Evidently they had confused the term college with that of college building in the catalogue, for, as we afterwards learned, they thought that they were not admitted to the college building until they had matriculated. We now approached them as kindly as we could. Upon inquiry we learned that they were the incoming Freshmen: that they were entire strangers to the place and did not know where to go or what to do. Of course we informed them that we were Sophomores and were thoroughly acquainted with college life. After giving them the desired information we left them to draw on their own resources. They have given us little or no trouble: are exceedingly obedient and meet all our demands with speedy compliance. In only one instance they forgot themselves. This was when they mustered courage to daub their colors on the grandstand. By nine o’clock of the same day, paint having been secured, the undaunted Sophomores set out to change the colors, which by the way very much resembled indigo and Venetian red. The Freshmen had now assembled to defend the red and blue, but as soon as the solid phalanx of 1901 came near, such a dispersion of Freshies took place, as was not only discreditable to themselves, but also disastrous to college vegetables. On another occasion those same little braves sought to retrieve their lost honor by placing a small flag high on the cupola of Bomberger Hall, thinking, no doubt, that much pleasure would be afforded them, by the Sophomores, in attempting to dislodge it. No doubt their desires would have been gratified had it not been that higher authority caused the removal of it. This we recognized as one of the victories of peace, for we all believe that, “The victories of peace are no less renowned than those of war.” A class in any college now a days is considered strong only in proportion to 47 its ability in the promulgating of athletics. In view of this fact we are glad to say that the class of 1901 is a firm upholder of athletics as was shown by the fact that it was the only class which, as a body, took supper at the Athletic Bazaar. In the football team of '98 our president held the office of captain, and because of his unparalleled success was re-elected for ’99. Both the captain and the manager of the second team were chosen from our ranks. The baseball team of ’98 was not complete until two Sophomores joined it. In field sports we stand second to none. In taking a retrospective view of the year which is now fast drawing to a close, who will say that this brief sketch has told all that might be told of the progress and advancement, not alone in intellect and body, but also in the forming of long and lasting friendship ties, which has attended the class of 1901. We now stand at the second milestone on our journey through college, and as we look back over the fields which were waving with golden opportunities as we entered them but a short time ago, but are now studded with the sheaves of our labor, we see many spots which were left untouched by the gleaners. We look forward and in the dim distance we see looming up the figure of Wisdom, holding in her outstretched hand a crown bearing the inscription: “Truth, Research and Scholarship,” and with her other hand she beckons us to come. Having placed our pilgrim feet toward the goal, and taking Hope as our guide, we shall yet reach that figure whose beckoning hand shall give to us the diadem. Then with exultant joy in our hearts we shall salute our unfurled banner:— Hail Pink and Steel through battle borne, We lift our eyes to thee this morn; Thy enemies have lied forlorn; Have vanished as the dew : From loyal hearts thy praise ascends. Thy charms now o’er our spirit sends The thrill of joy that us transcends, The joy that cheers anew. — IIISTORIAN. 48 The 'Sophomore Class Rick. Knoll. Dktnvilkk. Ai.rxandkk. Kkli.kv. d liONSICKKK.

P Distorii of the £lu5:3 of |()02. that galaxy of stars known as the class of 98 disappeared beneath the western horizon of I'rsinus College, there arose in the east a new constellation of rare brilliancy, gathered from many walks of life, to be known as the class of 1902. Although of a somewhat nebulous form, it finally developed into a full fledged class of Freshmen ; possessing all the possibilities usually attributed to such an aggregation of young women and young men. O11 Thursday, September 14, 1898, we first met in Prof. Kline’s class-room, where began our acquaintance. We found ourselves a band of seventeen honest, noble, energetic youths; “having but one lamp by which our feet are guided, namely to be better men and women. Not one dunce among the lot. Not one lesson we forgot. ' Unfortunately we have since lost one of our most respected members. Miss Emina Kbliug was called to her home on account of her mother’s death, and thus far has not been able to return. We all sincerely feel her loss and hope she may soon be able to resume her place with us. Varying fortune, however, has kindly supplied us with another co-ed in the person of Miss Bertha Moser. In perusing the histories of former classes, we notice how frequently the Sophs, have subjugated the Fresh men, a little matter in which our class seems to be original, when the grandstand was completed, on the night of October 28th, and the Sophs, were all dreaming in their security, we lavishly bedaubed it navy blue and red. The next morning the colors of 1902 unpleasantly greeted the eyes of the Sophs., who finally decided as revenge to buy a little cheap paint to obliterate our artistic work. This they were not entirely able to do. Part of our work is still visible. As in the history of a nation, frequently more history has been made in a single day than in an hundred years, so was it with our class, when, 011 January 31, 1899, the first class banner, the pride and glory of 1902, with rare effulgence floated from Bomberger Memorial Hall, true blue for loyalty and red for courage, fit emblems of the place occupied and of the heroes who placed it there. This was the source of much comment from our friends, and much chagrin from the 54 Sophs. At about 11.30, trouble began to brew. A trio of Sophs, assumed the responsibility, with no “method in their madness, to remove our flag. With a ladder, they attempted to reach the flag from the interior; but, with much gentleness, we promptly and kindly relieved them of all necessity of exerting tin. nisei ves. ‘‘To be, or not to be: that was the question : Whether 'twas nobler in the in in cl to suffer In the hands of the courageous Freshmen. )r to take arms against a sea of troubles.” At about 4.30, the Quay faction made a bold move and attempted to take the flag by stratagem. Hut as we are always equal to the emergency, “ venimus, vidimus, vicimus. ” Although the Dean lent a flavor to the scrap it was glorious to liehold. The chapel suffered somewhat, glass flew in every direction. And with the kindly persuasion of the Dean, the Sophs, replaced things as far as practicable and the flag still floated. Thus it is. though lacking in numbers, we have l een able to maintain our rights. And as far as mental, musical and athletic ability is concerned we are not deficient. So we lay bv our pen, proud of the past, believing in the present, and hopeful for the future. —Historian’. 55 rcsljman Poem. WELL might a poet shirk the task ()f speaking aught of such a class. Whose record spotless is and pure From all misdeeds that harm the doer. From days of rest and ease, last fall )ur students at Ursinus’s call. Esc a ping gladly from Prcpdom And from the distant parts did come. Besides the lessons we have learned. And ideals for which we've yearned. One exploit here I must explain Which does not deal with th’ minds we train. One night some Freshmen brave and bold As you shall see when the tale is told Went out to paint the grandstand new As all good students should try to do. The moon looked on with smiling face. As on the stand the boys did trace. The figures bold—“nineteen two In darning colors of red and blue. The Sophs next day in line arrayed. With paint and brushes well displayed. Filed out and tried the marks to spoil. But this attempt the boys did foil. Three Freshmen strong kept Sophs away And on the stand the colors stay. If valor doth a class uplift. Then much we profit by that gift. 56 The Puesmaan Class PlSIlER. I. I NT . Krehs. Kkkn. Mover. Siikawdkk. 1’ilgbkt. Rartiioi.ombw. Miss Moser. Miss Marki.iy. Mii.i.er, II. R. Kai'h man.

ND in the beginning the faculty findeth a man. Now this man was more subtle and discerning than any student which the college had ever matriculated. And seeing his keenness, the faculty said, “I et us make him a course in the likeness of all the others. So the faculty created him a course in the image of all the other courses, in the image of all the other courses created they it. And the paths thereof zigzagged through all the other courses; and in the Academy and the Senior year were the ends thereof. Then came another subtle one. And the faculty said. “It is not good for one to be alone, let us make another ‘time-beat’ with 10111.” They made it and the ways of the two were contrariwise insomuch that they called it A DAM'S i EYE Course. Thus it came to pass in the process of time that the special course grew until it became a Tower of Babble and a Rab-ble-onian abomination. And the faculty saw it that it was good. Now in the days of Rubber, the son of A-gum, the specials were many. Then were divers students confounded and amazed insomuch that they marvelled saying, “Are not these Armenians, and Philadelphians, and Pittsburgites, and Pal mites, and Wern-ers-villians. Whence is their knowledge? Do they not all belong in the Academy? Vet do we see them pursuing the same courses as we. What meaneth this? ” And when the specials heard these things they lifted up their voices saying, “Ye students of Ursinus, dwellers in Collegeville, be it known unto you this day. We are thankful that we are not as other students are, even like you. We are the essence of all that is great. In us all knowledge lives and moves and has its being. Besides us there is none else.” And when they had spoken these words the sun was not darkened, neither did the stars and moon cease to give their light, nor yet was there blood, or fire, or vapor of smoke, but Zeus prophesied in that hour that the great and terrible day would surely come, because the Specials were not studying Greek. Even so be it. Amen. 60 3? N-, Aa 1 iiA OL 0 n [ n i i i i r- i L J in ju I □ Lru il t □ ej ra =□ i ] [ i i 1 1 Clcabcmy faculty REV. HENRY T. SPANGLER, I). I)., President of the College. C.

The tendency for many members has been to begin work too late, and in this way have been unable to do themselves justice in the contest. The State intercollegiate oratorical contest will be held at Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, March 10. Ursinus students should show more interest in this contest than heretofore. The time lias arrived when efforts should be made to secure a large representation of our students on this occasion. Next year this contest will be held at Ursinus, and it would be well for our representatives to familiarize themselves early with all the workings of the Union. The manager of the College baseball team is arranging a schedule which bids fair to be the strongest ever arranged by a manager for Ursinus. To carry out this schedule and end the season successfully will require a masterful effort. There is good material for a strong team and little doubt is 78 lyiLLfvrm Staff. ij. in. £. a Officers. rresident.................................. Vice-President.............................

Hyde, D. D., was for many years professor of An | L cient Languages at Burlington Col- -E lego, an institution which flourished for about thirty-six years. 11 is mother was also literary and published some eight volumes in prose and verse. IIis grandfather, Edmund Morris, was for a number of years editor of a paper and was the author of several volumes, mostly upon industrial subjects. Ilis first training was obtained at Burlington College and the balance of his college course was taken at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., where he received the B. A. and M. A. degrees. Ilis first experience in teaching was obtained at St. John’s School, Man lin’s, X. , and at the close of the year he was invited to become assistant in the office of the treasurer of Trinity College, a position which left considerable time for study. In 1S77 he was appointed Classical Master in Chesire Academy, an old and well established school twelve miles north of New Haven, Conn. Here he remained three years, during which time he began a course of study in the graduate department of Yale University. In 1880 he went into residence at Yale and completed nearly all of the required work. The following fall he was made professor of Latin and Greek in the Pennsylvania Military Academy, at Chester, where he la! ored for three years, at the close of the first going to Yale where he received the degree of Ph. D., at the commencement. In 1884 he went to Germany and spent a year in study at Leipsic University, where he had the advantage of hearing such great teachers as Curtins, Ribbeck, Lange, Lipsius, Overbeck, Zarncke and others. Returning to America after a profitable year, during the vacation of which he 132 had visited Rome. Naples, and other classic spots, he returned to Chesire for a year. In the course of the next year he was called to Ursinus College as Adjunct Professor of Ancient Languages, which was changed in the summer of 1S.N7. t« the chair of I,atiu. On January i, 1889. he was called to Lehigh University as Professor of I atin, which position he has held ever since. In March 1899 he was elected Dean of Ursinus College and Professor of the Latin language and Liter attire. He will assume his duties at Ursinus September 1, 1899. Besides numerous articles and published addresses Dr. Hyde has published : a “Sketch of the History of Northampton County ; a “ Brief History of I Lehigh University, which has gone through three editions; the Memorial Volume upon Dr. Super published last summer; has edited “Tacitus Annals. Book I and Selections from Book II in the Students' Series of Latin Classics; and has furnished all the articles upon Classical Philology which have appeared in Chandler’s ISneyclopedia, in three volumes, published recently. Another book is in preparation and will be completed soon. 133 Senior poem. rOUR happy years have swiftly rolled away, ICacli year more happy than the one before. Four toilsome years have had undaunted sway In filling' Senior minds with hidden lore. The deepest thoughts of learned men of old. The facts concerning true morality, And other things to us have all been tol 1 By men revered for their ability. Forth from these classic walls we soon will go. And in a nobler sense we shall discern The meaning of those words once whispered low : ‘■He only learns to live who lives to learn.” Full well we know the precious gems oft lie Within the deepest realms of earthly soil. And he of mortal men who dares to try To iind them out must live a life of toil. Ah! happy Freshman, in whose eyes I see The light of all thy wisdom brightly shine. Would thou could’st know what yet remains for thee. What knowledge lies without that brain of thine ! Man cannot fathom the Pierian spring. He only is allowed to sup his share Of that delicious fountain and to bring His fellow men to know that it is there. With this one thought we turn a watchful eye Upon the untried future hence to gaze; With this one thought we say a last good-bye To all the cherished scenes of college days. If in the coming years we should recall These joyous scenes from which we turn away ()! may their sad remembrance lead us all To seek the light of some more brilliant ray. PoKT. 134 Uoutb’s Choice WHENCE comcst thou and whither bound?” The pilgrim paused and turned around. A youth who trod the road of life, Whose garments .showed no marks of strife. His tread was firm, his smile was bright. Betokening that his heart was light. An aged man was he who spoke. The youth the moment's silence broke: “From dim Unconsciousness I came, But fostered then and given a name, I passed out thence through Infant's lane. And thence across the Childhood plain. Where no rough stones make hard the way And all the journey is but play : From thence I passed through Boyhood grove, Where brooks in rippling gladness rove. Where trees ward off the sun’s hot rays. Where moonlight nights and sunny days Delight the heart and cheer tin- eye. Where birds sing praise to God on high. Where only showers break the calm And life is like a joyous psalm. I dared not linger in that wood. Nor would I, stranger, if I could. I yearned t« say what lay before What future wanderings had in store. So then I took the road of Youth, The way was rougher far. in truth. Than I had thought. A parting, too, Disturbed me and I hardly knew Which way to turn : I was in quest Of sign-posts when by thee addressed, Would'st think me bold, if I inquire Who thou may'st be, most aged Sire f And while the aged man replied, The youth observed that at his side There stood two youth, he judged to be, In years about the same as he : 135 But, like Melchizedcc of old. The old man’s age could not be told. His hair was white, his beard was long, But vet his voice was clear and strong. “My name is Conscience, friend.” he said, “The path of Youth all pilgrims tread. But since the way asunder parts, Vexation here doth try the hearts Of some, they know not which to take. For such I wait, lest they should make A grievous error and destroy Their fondest hopes of future joy. The way which through the rocks is cleft Is Duty’s road. That to the left Is Pleasure’s way. These youth will tell About the roads— they know them well. As thou, they, top, have both set out To make life’s journey, but the route Of each doth here diverge. Each goes Upon the separate way he chose. (io right go left as thou dost voice, Thou’lt have a comrade for thy choice. One of the youth, then, with a stride Stepped quickly to the pilgrim’s side, Most gaily clad and fair of face. He bowed with all a dancer’s grace And grasped the pilgrim’s outstretched hand. The sweetest smile he could command Lit up his face as thus he spoke : “Most handsome stranger. I invoke Life’s choicest blessings on thy head. I’m hither bound as Conscience said O’er Pleasure’s way, accomp'ny me. Most jolly comrades shall we be. Through verdant valleys winds the way And pilgrims throng it all the day ; Glad jollity, bright, mirthful song And lively dances sway the throng ; Entrancing music doth beguile The pilgrim and the maiden's smile Doth cheer his heart, while sparkling wine Forbids that sorrow’s tendril twine Itself around his heart’s least joy. Wilt come? Wilt come? What sav’st my boy But ere the pilgrim could reply, The silent youth’s glance caught his eye. That earnest look, a living dart. Was lodged within his halting heart. There was no smile, no flattering speech. Plainly clad, the youth did reach And on the pilgrim's shoulder laid His hand half friendly, half afraid In ardent tones he thus addressed And thus the pilgrim’s heart impressed 'The road that I have chosen lies Here to the right, whence it doth rise By stages to the mountain peak of Destiny, the land we seek, Which far to right and left extends And in a vale and mountain ends. The left extreme's the Vale of Shame. The right extreme’s the Peak of Fame; Now, wotild'st thou reach that dizzy height. Then take the road diverging right: 'Tis not a path with roses spread. It is the road that heroes tread Where martyrs walk and often die. Where sounds, as well, the victor's cry. Where honest wealth, if. sought, is found. Where springs of knowledge free abound. Where toil's the price that pays the toll. And joy's the bread that feeds the soul. Why dost thou halt? Why dost thou wait ? Why tlost thou start ? Then hesitate? Thy mind's aflame ah, bitter tight 1 The question is. ‘Which is the right ?’ Thy God implanted nature toils In conflict with th’ entangling coils ( f selfishness and fleshy lust Ah, mortal man. thy frame is dust! ” With eager haste then Conscience cried And beamed upon the youth with pride; ‘Thy noble words, most ardent youth. Are words of soberness and truth, ( n silver leaves, like apples gold. As wondrous fair as they are bold. Heed ! pilgrim, heed his ardent word, Bv no pretext be thou deterred From choosing now the path that lies So truly painted to thy eyes : Let sordid longings after ease Be spurned and shunned like dread disease ; And though at first it seem a goad Accept advice -choose Duty’s road 137 The youth with measured tone and slow Responded briefly. “Sire, I go.” He grasped his chosen comrade’s hand And said, “I seek the distant land With thee.” Then arm in arm they went. The other youth his footsteps bent Toward Pleasure’s way and joined the throng As, like a wave, it surged along ; Then, like a chip, before the storm The wave engulfed his fleeing form. Said Conscience then, Thou’lt pay the cost. Continue there and thou art lost.” And as the youth passed from his view He turned to watch the other two. Who trudged with steps both firm and strong The rough and rugged way along, Until the boulder on the right Concealed them also from his sight. His voice then murmured clear and low. “God speed you, lads, where’er ve go: Ye may not reach the topmost peak. But honor comes to all who seek To do their best. God honors you When ye do strive the least to do In part performing while on earth The end for which he gave you birth : A deeper joy. a higher zest, A more abiding peace and rest. Your Duty’s road yields in a day Than lifetimes spent in Pleasure's way.” 138 3n uturam. - MEN our college day s have ended, and the years passed quickh away. I I y When our vision i dimmed by the future( and the hairs of our heads grown grey, We shall think of the days of our childhood, and ah ! we shall wish it then Only once to recall those moments, and live them over again. We shall think of a quaint old college in a little country town Where the steeples all seemed to be asking the favor of God to comedown. We shall think of the men who have taught us. and first in that reverent scene Our memories will picture before us the face of the faithful old Dean. We shall think of the Pcrkiomeii, as its waters glide slowly along And hear far off in the distance the strains of a College song. We shall think of the dear old campus where on we would fain recall And summon again, in memory, the girls of Olevian Hall. We shall think of our tricks and our foibles, of every rattle and yell.

For a number of years he was secretary of the Fidelity Trust Company in Philadelphia. Mr. Pigott has endeared himself to the Student body by the great interest he has manifested in athletics at his alma mater. He has at various times made handsome contributions to athletics. F. G. Hobson, Ksq., A. M., whose portrait appears in the lower left hand corner, graduated in the class of 1876. Mr. Hobson is a prominent member of the Norristown Bar and is Treasurer and Trust Officer of the Norristown Title, Trust and Safe Deposit Company. He is also a director of the College. 111 1894 he established the Hobson prize, consisting of a gold medal, for the best oration delivered at the Junior Oratorical Contest. The Kiev. Jami's V. Meminger, A. B., graduated from the College with the class of 1884. He afterwards completed the course of study in the School of Theology. He is the deservedly popular pastor of St. Paul’s Reformed Church, Lancaster, Pa. Mr. Meminger is a pleasing speaker and has attained considerable prominence on the lecture platform. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the College. In 1895, he established the Meminger prize, consisting of a gold medal, awarded to the oration ranking second in the Junior Oratorical Contest. 140 ■Sore ’Setters.

Two members are instructors in the Acadeim ; one is manager of Olevian Hall ; one is a partner in a publishing firm ; one i a preacher, and one is a postmaster. The following descriptions are to serve as a key to the “ haunts.” The office of Heinly, proctor and instructor in Mathematics is situated on the second floor of the Academy building. The sanctum and office of Stone, the editor and instructor in Penmanship, is situated on the third floor of Hast College. The four rooms which immediately adjoin are all occupied by juniors, six juniors occupying this particular corner of the third floor. The printing house of Thompson Bros., who are the college printers and pub lish two of the college publications, is situated on Hast Main street, near the Perkiomen bridge. Thompson, a Junior, is one of the members of the firm. T'lie residence commonly known as the “ Prairie ” is situated on Main street, above Fifth Avenue. This house is occupied solely by four Juniors, Gildner, Ilershey, Oswald and Reagle. The ICvansburg M. 1C. church, of which Tomlinson was formerly pastor, is situated in ICvansburg. A certain person aptly said, “ It is not likely the church is a haunt of more than one Junior and to him by necessity.” The college postoffice is situated on the ground floor of the Academy building. where Petri serves in the capacity of postmaster and college book-seller. This place is probably “ haunted ” by Juniors more than any of their other “ haunts,” and haunted ” with a hungry look for such documents as are usually designated by the name “ letters.” Jt'XlOK IlAt'XTS. . philosophy. H .iGccunncr’ Xamcnt. Of ail the learned Greeks in speculation versed. Who sought the primal cause, old Thales was the first. He said the cause was water; water was his all. Hence “Schnapps” was like a beggar crowded to the wall. Anaximander next delved in the primal pit And atmosphere he claimed to be the cause of it. But Anaximenes who. too, got digging there Went deeper, deeper down and called the bottom air. Well these philosophers must sure have Freshmen been. At least, that was the class they had existence in. Because such learned mortals, most certainly would know That naught beside a Freshman was made of wind and blow. But here another problem caught sages in the brain, It was about becoming and caused a fearful strain. With strong imaginations, all began to think And wasted all their time; and, likewise, all their ink. Xenophanes first claimed creation always was And. like the busy bee. is always on the buzz, Parmenides asserted that it was a sphere And that there was no movement moving was a “queer. Melissus went one better, said it was no ball For so there’d be a place where there’d be naught at all. Which was. of course, impossible since Parmy said There was no vacancy he’d “trollies” in his head. Then Zeno took a cue and magnitude denied, (() did he feel his head, when it swelled up with pride) And as a point has place, but vet not breadth or space. An ostrich could not beat a turtle in a race. But Gorgias capped the climax, crazier than them all. His raving mad assertions mind and heart appal. The universe was nothing; ’twas illusion bare ’ T w a s noth inf', nothing, NOTHING; nothing any where. He proved his case by logic, proved it to a dot And when I read that trash, I tell you. reader, what ! Of old philosophy, the price per share in stock To me went under par, such was the awful shock. I have a stomach—that I know without a doubt It’s very frequent gnawings made me find it out And I say, when hunger stirs that inner ire “Philosophy’s a fraud and Gorgias was a liar.” 148 Bickcl at £lmrcb in the £itu A church, u girl, a hat—ah me!

Through all its long, weary days the luckless and deposed historian Kelley lived under the ban of excommunication. At the opening of the new term, however, the orthodox party perceived that the removal of the ban was not only expedient, but that the interests of the class demanded it. Accordingly, they united with the dis senters and again received the fallen brother into full fellowship. The orthodox politicians were, likewise, shrewd. They saw that, by sugar coating the restored brother’s resentment, they might win him into their party and thus strengthen themselves. They, therefore, offered him as it were a stick of candy and a lemon to suck on, in other words, the class presidency. The unthinking victim swallowed the proferred morsel whole and went over to the enemy. Thus contention was fora time smothered, but the fire of dissatisfaction still smoldered and only a little wind was necessary again to rouse the flames. The ill-omened blast soon came. The bone of contention in the new quarrel was a bone in truth—it was a banquet. The orthodox party—now called the Quay faction—wanted a bone but did not approve of travelling over two thirds of the universe to find it. The Anti-Quays wanted a big fat bone and thought that Allentown was the only place to get one of the proper dimensions. So they discussed the question. The Antis claim that Quay had promised to vote with them. Hut when the Allentown banquet was proposed, the majority of his party was startled by the array of fat, burly dollar marks which faced them and they raised a storm of opposition. Quay bolted. The Quay faction then practically decided the question and the banquet was held at the bazaar. Hut it was a banquet of the Quay faction, for the Antis did not attend. The breach, however, was not complete. It needed one more blow to bring the great schism to its consummation. The culmination soon came. The last thread which held the class together was snapped by a premature election of their Rt’BY stall'. The meeting was called by the Quay Triumvirate and their program was fully carried out. Before the Antis were aware of what had been done, the Runv staff was an established fact and the Triumvirate were its chief members. And the Triumvirate was the machine of the Quay faction. The Quay victory was complete. Some of the Antis still cling to the class, those who refuse to be reconciled are conspicuous by their absence from the Sophomore class picture.

According to one of the ancient philosophers it was proved logically and empirically that the seat of a flee lions is the liver. Granting this premise, which is unquestionably true, the next step in the analysis of the Smith case is to prove that Smith has a liver. Well, all animals have a liver and Smith is an animal; hence the conclusion is evident. Smith also has affections as is proved by his desire to correspond with a young lady ; therefore his affections, according to our first premise, are seated in his liver. But Smith's liver is out of order as is proved by the pale expression of his countenance. Hence, if his liver is disordered, whatever is part of the diseased liver must also of necessity be affected. Therefore, our final conclusion is that Smith's affections are unwholesome, and hence his unpopularity among the ladies. For Smith’s benefit, we would advise him to have his liver restored to normal conditions; for if his liver is “ healthified,” his affections will necessarily become salutary and much desired by the ladies. 153 (Ll}c 2ugl}fgoiuncfc knight ONCI0 a student slept and rested, in his sleep all unmolested, Though his consciousness excited teemed with gruesome dreams galore ’Till awakened by a stumbling and the sound of fiendish mumbling. As someone unseen stumbling stumbling o'er the chamber floor “ Tis a robber tierce he muttered and then shouted with a roar. “What’s the matter?” and no more. It was dark without and snowy, and a winter wind was blowing. Yet he saw there dimly outlined creeping near the chamber door, Daniel Kelley night-gowned sprawling in sad consequence of falling. Accidently, sadly falling, with his head upon the floor While his legs were caught and fastened, trapped within the cuspidor That he saw and nothing more. Hut the dim and night-gowned figure, with an unexpected rigor. Jumped around the darkened chamber like a warrior after gore, Dike a hornet madly dancing, like a fiery steed a prancing And, with blazing eyes a glancing, gazing at the cuspidor.

Then the student sympathizing was upon the point of rising That he might the cause mysterious of such antics well explore; Hut the Knight-gowned did prevent him. back into the bed he sent him. Then the student did repent him and he asked of Dan once more. Meaning well, that civil question that he’d asked of him before, “What’s the matter?” and no more.

If not these, what then controlled him ? Hut poor Danny was so sore, That he answered, voice uncanny, in a tone like thunder's roar “What’s the matter ?” and no more. When Dan awakened in the morning and his chum his freaks was scorning Jumping up and down in wrath, he by the gods eternal swore No delirium tremens shook him, nor could evil spirits spook him. “Nor had reason sound forsook him.” And he by Minerva swore And by Jupiter eternal, everlasting, evermore He’d a nightmare and no more. 154 Ctppenzcller at ctsbury park.

The translators have rendered this passage in such a way that it is very clear, yet a few notes gathered from other sources may be of interest. I'or a time it was thought that Carl was a relic of the pre-Reformation period and was an advocate of celibacy among the clergy, yet some wondered as to the source of his poetic inspiration. It was soon evident that he was a victim of Cupid's darts he was in love, and he entered the contest with the vigor that characterizes all of his undertakings. This brings us to the scene referred to in the text. The ladies were to participate in a gymnastic exhibition in Norristown. Carl called at Olevian Hall and was met by the maid who informed him that his lady had gone. So he gallantly escorted the maid to Norristown. Upon arriving there to his chagrin he learned that she had not come yet and he hastened to return on the next trolley, coming as far as Jeffersonville where he met the object of his affections. Ah, Cupid, thou art a pleasing scourge. How delightfully distressing are thy afflictions. Ch.5, vs. 21. “Stick tells Prof. Reber that every person blows his own horn.' There is a certain clearness and force in the latter part of this passage, which gives it the stamp of authenticity and shows that the speaker is supported by unquestioned personal experience. Ch. 6, vs. 2. Boddergoes home. This passage has always been a source of dispute among the best emendators. because the word “home does not appear in the MSS. V. Fat Kern, who has made a thorough study of the life and letters of this illustrious orator and electrician, contends that it did not necessarily follow ♦See Chronicles, j ;«ce 168. that lie went home, but in the absence of authentic information, the translators have inserted the word home for the want of a better rendition. Ch. 6, vs. y. “ Schleify waits for a pass to go home to vote.” The best authorities agree that this passage is an interpolation. The statement is flatly con tradictory to facts, because Schleify, the son of Rest, was born in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and seventy-nine. Hence the weary pilgrim was not then eligible to vote. Ch. y. vs. j. “ Christman falls.” This was not the fall of a monarch, but an ordinary tumble of an extraordinary mortal, who had dared a fellow mortal to touch him. The fellow mortal was not to be dared and in return for the challenge treated the mortal extraordinary to a double somersault down the stairs with the consequences narrated in the text. A review of the ancient records reveals the following : In the second month, third day : Christman injured—summons I)rs. Mensch and Krusen—doctors hold consultation case critical, but patient likely to live. Fourth day : In bed all day—hovering between life and death. Fifth day : doctors report the patient out of danger—matron calls—Johns in waiting. Sixth day : still in bed. Seventh day : still in bed. Eighth day : new cause for alarm—kidney trouble—sends for the doctor— examination postponed until next day. Ninth day: Rinker acts as intermediary practitioner—case examined bv doctor’s assistants, Hell, Landis and Johnson—patient’s fears unfounded. Tenth day : out of bed visits residents of third floor. Eleventh day : goes down to the first floor—stranded—carried back to his room by ministering angels (?). Leisse, Rinker and Stone. Twelfth day : again in bed. Thirteenth day : blizzard—goes to meals—poor food—decides to become sick again. Fourteenth day : stays in bed—waiter brings dry bread and coffee without sugar and milk—decides to get well. Fifteenth day : again at meals. 158 Sixteenth clay : lias pain in the neck—Rinker refuses to call doctor—says it is from lying in bed. Seventeenth day: wants Huber to cut his finger nails—unceremoniously flagged. Here the records are blurred, but we infer from fragments that the patient had sundry attacks of gout, blood poisoning, fatty degeneration and diphtheria but still lives. C i. 9, vs. 9. “Some of the boys experiment with complexion powder. The first part of this clause is rather indefinite, but from the best collateral sources we learn that Ohl.

Tradition has handed down the following tale which seems to throw considerable light on this ol scure passage: Five lads, whose names appear above, decided to attend the faculty reception. None of them had ever attended such a formal gathering. They rang the bell and Garrett, the head usher, told them to pass up stairs. Ohl declared that he did not think of staying all night and. even if he should, he wasn't sleepy yet. Bickel, another usher appeared upon the scene and explained that they were to go up to deposit their overcoats, thereupon Ohl exclaimed, “ You can't bunco me out of my overcoat in that way. The five then had a little conference and Knoll, the Philosopher, thought that it might be all right. “At any rate, said he. “ it's only formality I guess, and we’d better go. It will be an experience. Just think, fellows, we ll be society leaders at home next summer. So they went up and entered the “second door to the right. Here they were at a loss to know what to do next. “It looks as though a woman rooms here, said Stuckert looking around. “Say. fellows, what’s this white stuff in this box that looks like flour. said Ohl. None of them knew. Some fell on Moyer’s hands and he saw that it made them white, whereupon all fell to smearing the powder over their faces. Klase spied a perfume bottle and he began sprinkling himself and his comrades with the scented liquid, when alas! the occupant of the room appeared at the door. Ch. 9. vs. 27. “The cat escapes. From profane history we have gleaned the following. On the twenty-seventh day of the second month three embryo physicians captured a fine specimen of the feline tribe and were about to place the animal under the influence of ether when she escaped from the hands of the chief demonstrator, Bell. There were also in the same laboratory a number of Juniors 159 and a few Sophomores and when they saw that the animal had escaped they “trembled and were sore afraid.” Half dazed the animal leaped from table to table, demolishing everything in her path. After an exciting chase through the laboratory and the lecture room adjoining, Bickelcornered the animal but was bitten in the heroic attempt to catch her. Farnsler and Detwiler fearing that their lives were in danger climbed upon stools and could not be induced to come down until Miss Katie assured them that the animal was under the bell-jar. Ch. fo, vs. 23. “Another funny story.” The word “another implies that the gentleman is in the habit of telling funny stories. Contemporary historians tell 11s that this particular fairy tale was told in connection with the professor’s story how he had gone out stealing chestnuts with a Philadelphia clergyman, which story had so convulsed Gildner in deep toned and immoderate laughter that the professor was moved to say. “very funny, isn't it, Mr. Gildner.” This particular story runs thus : “Gentlemen, it is always a good plan to use a joke in your introduction, I remember in an address which I made several yea«rs ago before the graduates of the Slippery Rock Normal School, that I began my address with a funny story and while I was yet speaking, the principal arose and left the auditorium. I knew why he was going out. lie was the next speaker and he went to his office to hunt up a funny story with which to begin his speech. Yes, too class, lie saw that I had made a good impression and lie took the cue from me. He came back and when he spoke, lie started his address with a funny story—it was a good one too. Yes, class, use funny stories in your introductions. It is an excellent way to fix the attention of the audience.” ( Ji. o, vs. 24. “Nightgown parade.” The best authorities are agreed that this is the best rendition. Some would have 11s read “white nightgown, but the expression is evidently pleonastic. Whoever heard of a green, or yellow, or ultramarine nightgown? It is sufficient to read “nightgown.” The addition of “frilled,” “white,” “low necked or “sleeveless” is superficial and pedantic. All profane historians are agreed that the courageous and lion hearted Lerch. the piide of the I vast Wing, was the marshall of this great pageant. The I vast Wing Hand furnished martial music and to its measured strain, the white robed knights turned their steps toward the dark and gloomy convent. The fair inmates did not. however, give the boys their wonted welcome. The girls were evidently shocked. The boys felt as though they had been shook, or rather flagged, and turned away with heavy hearts. The white knights turned their march to the president’s home and there with their vengeful cries succeeded in arousing the president There was little consolation gained here, for the boys were warned against conflagrations, empty subscription albums and waking professors. With heavy hearts, the disgusted parader wended their way to the residence of Dr. I’rban, who having been aroused, addressed the motley assemblage thus: “Gentlemen—[cheers]—gentlemen, this is one of the rare occasions—[prolonged applause]—one of the rare occasions on which I have the pleasure of appearing before an audience in my gown. [Laughter and cheers.] I am glad to see that you also are in your gowns. [Laughter and applause.] These serenades are usually tendered to professors when they have been newly wed,—[prolonged applause]—but I assure you that in my case you are somewhat late. [Laughter and cheers.] I trust that when your turn comes, [Applause] — that when your turn comes, the serenaders may be on time. [Laughter.] Now, gentlemen, I am in sympathy with your movement and lest you should all take lot colds standing here in your thin gowns I bid you a hearty good night.” [Applause, three cheers for I)r. Urban and college yell.] The paraders were encouraged by these helpful remarks and decided to return to the college. They found Professors Lake and Kline star-gazing on the campus. [I.ater authorities tell us that the telescope had been taken out by Kugler for the purpose of making observations, but Prof. Lake finding him there decided that the Limerick Senior was not competent to handle the instrument and advised him to go to bed.] The paraders called on the astronomers for speeches. Prof. Kline cordially responded and his generous speech was roundly applauded. Prof. Lake feeling it incumbent upon himself to say something, although contrary to his custom, said. “Kline and I. we chum together and Kline always does the talking. Good night.” The paraders then proceeded to the Hast Wing and succeeded in arousing Prof. Reber. lie came out upon the steps and, after pledging his support to all student movements, pled a sore throat and returned to his room. The night’s jollification was closed by a half an hour’s steam pipe musical.
