Our Ruby is respectfully dedicated. 4 7 ?5£ Preface IT is tlie usual custom of the Rr� v staff to introduce their Annual to the public by a poem. While we offer no apology for this departure from the common practice, we, nevertheless, offer a few reasons. We feel that we have in some measure departed from the usual make-up of the Ruby, and while still holding very closely to precedent as demanded by our particular vein of college spirit, we have introduced some innovations. The aim of our Literary Department has been to produce something endurable, and this desire has brought forth the different historical articles. The historical sketch of the neighborhood is written from the point of view of a collegian, while the histories of Freeland Seminary and Ursinus College have been penned by men of riper experience. The pages devoted to the Alumni sketches are meant to inspire our graduates to a more lively interest in the College. To all those who have aided 11s in this work by affording us data or other help we proffer our sincere thanks. We have tried in this volume to present every side of College life, and have taken especial pains to make the Athletic Department as complete as possible. However, we have not forgotten the religious and other organizations, but have carefully avoided all fictitious clubs. I11 our “Things Worth Knowing we have endeavored to roast ” everyone without fear or favor. If we have missed von, please pardon 11s for the unintentional error. Nevertheless our aim has been to tread very lightly so as to leave no sting, and to present the matter at our hand in a kindly spirit. We trust that it may be taken as it is given. In the main we have sought originality, both of matter and drawing. We hope that there may be something in these pages for everyone — for the mature and ripe scholar as well as for the more light hearted undergraduate. Our aim has not been to create a great thing, but simply to treat our college chronicle in a modest literary style. As to our success, we leave you to judge. The Uditok. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.

' Success iii every art, whatever mr.y he the natural talent, i always the reward of industry and j� ain-. II'ate. PRESIDENT SPANGLER is a native of Myerstown. Pa. lie was born November 14. 1853, near the spot where iiis ancestors settled on arriving in this country in 1747. The genealogy of his family is of no little importance, being traceable to the eleventh century, where the record lays bare the fact that one. George Spangler, under the llerv eloquence of Pope Urban, was induced to leave his quiet home in Heidelberg to enlist as a soldier of the cross, and to do battle in the first crusade for the recovery of the tomb of the Redeemer. The pious wish of Dr. Spangler’s ancestor, however, was unfulfilled : for with hundreds of other poor German unfortunates he was smitten with the plague, died in the Holy Land, and lies buried at Antioch. After passing through the public schools, the subject of this sketch was registered at Palatinate College, then a preparatory school of our church. On being graduated from Palatinate he entered Ursiuus College, and in two years, in 1S73, was graduated at the head of the first class to go out from his Alma Afalm. His intention after graduation was to open a private school at Harrisburg, but this scheme he abandoned in order to accept an instruetorship in ITsinus Academy. While teaching here lie entered the Theological Seminary as a student, and two years later, in 1875, completed the course of instruction necessary to the holy ministry. In June, 1875, the Classis of Lebanon had before them for examination two young men, applicants for licensure. The young men were James I Good, 1). 1).. now Dean of Ursiuus Theological Seminary, and Dr. Spangler. The examination was so well sustained that both were licensed to preach in the ministry of the Reformed Church. Led by a literary taste and a wish for a larger vision of life, Dr. Spangler that same year accepted the position of Associate Editor of the Christian World, which was published by the church in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here lie became engaged in missionary work, and was ordained by the Classis of Miami, Synod of Ohio, at St. Paris in 1875. One year later, while still engaged in editorial and missionary work at Cincinnati, he was united in marriage to Marion E. Rombcrger. third daughter of Dr. Bombcrger, the founder and first president of Ursinus College. In the beginning of 1877, President Spangler began his career as a pastor at Lancaster, Ohio, where he served one year, resigning the charge to accept the pastorate at Columbiana. Two years later he was succeeded here by the Rev. 12 J. H. Bomberger, and returned Hast, locating at Landisburg, Pa. After an active pastorate of nearly four years here, he accepted a call to St. Luke’s Reformed Church, Trappe, which church had been served by Dr. Bomberger from the founding of the college to this date, i88|. While at Trappe lie was elected a member of the Board of Directors of the College, and on two separate occasions collected sums of five: thousand dollars in the community for the benefit of the institution. Beginning with September, 1886. he entered the service of the College as Field Secretary, and in 1891 became Professor of Psychology. On the sixth of July, 1893, he was elected President of the College, and one year later received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Heidelberg I'niversity. President Spangler is a man who has risen from the ranks. The same energy that enabled him to be graduated as valedictory of his class has made his life a success. Ilis life, we believe, has just begun to develop its resources of useful ness, and we trust that Ursinus may long sec him at the helm of affairs. “ Reverently, loyally, hopefully, I accept the trust which you have committed to my hands, not to impose a personal policy upon the institution, in which we enjoy a common interest, but to carry out your generous purposes, to help realize your ideals, and to crown your hopes. Relying on your cooperation and Support, confidently expecting the sympathy and good will which brother cherishes for brother, and trusting above all in the help of Ilim, whose grace alone insures success, 1 pledge you my best efforts to maintain inviolate the trust that has come to us from the past and during the time of my administration to make Ursinus College serve its day and generation to the full measure of its opportunities. ’’ Thus spoke Dr. Spangler in his inaugural address 011 the sixth of September. 1893, and we are confident that the present effective condition of the institution is but the result of his promised word. A magnificent legacy passed into his hands, when Dr. Bomberger’s stable foundation was entrusted to his care, and the fact that he has been true to his trust is most clearly shown in the superb superstructure which he has erected. In his policy and aims Dr. Spangler, as President of the College, has been true to the traditions of the institution and has labored in full accord with the principles of her history. While raising her rank among educational forces, he has broadened her boundaries and lengthened her stakes. The sound basis on which the College stands and her honorable relations to the church and educational world are all the products of our President's labor, and are justly appreciated by all well-wishers of Ursinus. Dr. Spangler has put his life into the life of the College. His success and the success of the institution have become one. The sentiment that “ Every noble life leaves its fibres interwoven forever in the works of the world.” is exemplified here ; and the Class of 1901 are unanimous in the desire that both he and the College may go on together from victory to victory. «: Our Historic Neighborhood. •• Hi.stoiy i ;« miglUy li;iiu:t, -n;ictr ! upon the theatre of time with suns for lumps, anil eternity for a hiickgrotnul —Cntlylr. TIIKRK is probably no neighborhood in all our country whose local history has played so important a part in our national development as our own. When we think that it was in this broad, beautiful valley of the Perkiomen and upon yonder blue crested hills that Washington and his ragged Continentals camped, we almost feel that we are treading on holy ground. Indeed, this district in which we live is no mean place, for it has been the arena of memorable events and honorable actions. THI-: « I.n CHI'KOI AT TK A 1 1 1- But a stone-throw from the entrance to our college lies the ancient and by no means the least important village of our community. The Honorable Judge Penny packer says of it: “ Almost within sight of us lies the rural and Pennsylvania Dutch village of Trappe, with a population, it may be, of four hundred people, whose houses are stretched on each side of the pike. In that village there lived the founder of one of the most important of American churches. In it were born a major-general in the Revolutionary Army and a United States Senator ; the president of the first American Congress under the Constitution; one of the most noted of American botanists, whose labors and writings have met with • 4 approval all over the world ; a colonel in the war of 1812 and an adjutant-general an I attorney-general of Wisconsin ; a governor of the State of Pennsylvania ; a Congressman and two State Senators; a president of Girard College, and an auditor-general of the State of Pennsylvania. In it there lived the ancestors of the Todds, of Kentucky, and the maternal ancestors of General Grant, besides another general of the Revolutionary Army. I challenge any community in this broad land from Maine to Texas to show that with the same population they have produced an equal number of people of like distinction in public life.” Situated in this interesting village, which calls forth such a tribute of eloquence. stands the most remarkable monument erected by pioneer zeal and piety. Indeed, the very walls and old worm eaten pewsof theTrappe Church almost whisper of scenes hallowed bv patrotism. which were enacted within their sight. With this sacred old building is insoluble linked the name of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, its founder, whose body rests under the shadow of the dear old building that he loved so well. The old Trappe church was built in 1743, was dedicated in 1745, and is the oldest standing Lutheran Church in America. To te'l the story of its building and the heroic struggle of Muhlenberg and the early settlers in erecting this temple of God would occupy too much space. Suffice it to say that with great sacrifice they accomplished their object, and in 1750 had the pleasure and honor of entertaining the General Synod of the Colonies within its walls. During the Revolutionary War it was used as a hospital, and in it our first President worshiped. But Trappe was not only the birthplace of the Lutheran faith, she was also the cradle of the Reformed ; for here in a little log church, built where the Reformed Cemetery is now located, Michael Schlatter and his little flock gave of their poverty to God. The Reformed faith was planted in this soil one year earlier than the Lutheran, Michael Schlatter founding the Reformed Church in 1742 and Muhlenberg doing the same for the Lutheran in 1743. However, the little log church of the Reformed was not built until 1735. ten years after the dedication of the Lutheran. The present structure, known as St. Luke’s Reformed Church, is the legitimate successor to the log temple of Schlatter. When the dark days of the Revolutionary War hung like a pall over the new-born colonies, these hills and valleys were lit up by the gleam of saber and 5 the flash of guns. In 1777 the American Army encamped on both banks of our beautiful Pcrkiomen, the lines reaching from Trappe to Kvansburg. General Washington himself had his quarters in the house now occupied by Mr. Casselberry, of Kvansburg. Here in this latter place, in the I episcopal Cemetery, is to be found a vault bearing the inscription, “One hundred Revolutionary heroes lie buried here. The epitaph tells its own tale- -a hundred patriots under Captain Howard, of Maryland, laying down their lives for liberty. Such incidents as these have clothed these old, gray hills in glory. From Evansburg the army marched to Schwenksville. and here, at Pennypacker’s Mill, the commander-in-chief matured the plans for the battle of Germantown How tl'.at battle ended is well known. How the army deployed and attacked the enemy with the greatest daring, lias gone down into history. How the accident of a heavy fog aided the British in their defense and lost the battle to the American Army is well known. Defeated but not broken — for liberty can never be broken the troops marched back to their old bivouacs at Schwenksville, and on the 12th of December, 1777. in the dead of winter. Washington ami his army went into winterquarters at Valley Forge What scenes of hardship this wilderness witnessed has been told again and again. Could the hills but speak, they would tell of anquish and suffering that would chill the blood of men; and all for liberty. Around these highlands, studded with bracken and bush, there are scattered the breastworks and the forts where the soldiers dwelt, but the patriots themselves have gone. And yet we need them not to tell the hardships and the glory of the past; their bones and flesh and blood have commingled with this dust, and the soil is eloquent with their praise. Von mounds, which they built upon the mountain side, saw it all. “ Dumb witnesses of the heroic past, you need no tongue! Face to face with you we see it all. This soft breeze changes to an icy blast; these trees drop the glory of the summer, and the earth beneath our feet is wrapped in snow. Besides us is a village of log huts ; along the ridge smoulders the fire of a canip. The sun has sunk, the stars glitter in the inky sky, the camp is hushed, the fires are out, the night is still. All are in slumber save where a lamp glimmers in a cottage window, and a passing shadow shows a tall figure pacing to and fro. The 16 WASHINGTON'S MONUMKNT. SCIIWKXKSVII.I.K.

Again our country is in commotion, again the thunder of battle is heard throughout the laud, and again our district adds to the glory of the moment. There in yonder cemetery of Montgomery, where the evening sun lingers lovingly among the monuments of the historic dead, lie in sleep the men who fought the nation s TOMIl OF C.KXKKAI. HANCOCK. NOK K IST( WN. battles. In yonder corner, where the weeping willow drops her tear upon the vaulted tomb, lies in state the hero of Gettysburg, Hancock, the “ Superb.” To trace the career of this groat general from his lowly birthplace, at the foot of that nearby hill, through his boyhood days and among the battlefields linked insolubly with his name, would be a pleasing task were time to allow it. In the mind’s eye we see him sweep over the fields of Chaneellorsvillc, the Wilderness, and Spottsylvania. Again we see him storm the heights of Fredericksburg and hurl back the Confederate chaige in shattered and broken columns at Gettysburg. “God lives; he forged the iron will That clutched and held that trembling hill. God lives and reigns , he built and lent The heights for Freedom's battlement. Where floats her flag in triumph still. tS Near Hancock, the “Superb,” but a stone-throw in distance, rests Hartranft, the “ Magnificent,” the soldier, statesman, and patriot. lie slumbers under that column erected to his memory by the National Guards of Pennsylvania. Let us stop and view that cenotaph. Its epitaph tells the story. A college graduate, he was a leader of men. Ho fought and held a command at Bull Run, at South Mountain, at Antietam, and at Vicksburg. He broke the Confederate cordon around Petersburg. and he was Governor of Penn sylvania. So reads the record, surrounding him with a halo of glory. Rut the deeds and heroism of war are more than equaled by the splendid achievements of peace in our district. The stupendous task, undertaken by our fathers in 1784, of building a bridge over the Per-kiomen at Phillip’s Ford has given us HIRTHPI.ACK OF C.ICN HANCOCK. NORRISTOWN the best-known historical landmark of the neighborhood. The strong, antique arches of Perkioinen Bridge are a tribute to the solidity of the men of a century ago. For over a hundred years the waters of the Perkioinen, in winter’s flood and summer’s drought, have washed its base| their onward flow to the sea, but the grim old stonework still stands and with calm indifference still hears the old stream’s lullaby. Adowu the banks of this gentle stream, nestling in the hillside in the bend of the river, there stands the home of America’s first naturalist, Audubon. Here, on this old plantation of Mill bank, the man who loved the beauties of nature and the plumage of the birds, lived ; and here he prepared his work on the birds of America, which took the world by storm. Many a time the waters of the river bore him to the opposite bank in his search for feathered singers, and many a time they bore him homeward, listening to the melody of his heart as he gazed with fondness at his winged prize. General history is made up of the most important events of local history. TOMB OF GHNKRAI, II ART RAN FT, NORRISTOWN '9 The incidents of Valley Forge, although local to us, have become the possession of the country. There is, perhaps, no greater shrine in all the world than these very places, which are so near to us. The heart of the American citizen thrills with emotion as he ga .es on the hills of Valley Forge, where the wounded feet of the Continentals trod the snow in order to bequeath to him the breath of liberty. The soul of the scientist responds to a kindred glow when he looks upon the river banks, which the father of American Ornithology made historical by his labor. The life of the Christian rises to the spirit of a higher life as he glances at the place where holy men of old labored and sacrificed to sow the seeds of Christian teaching, that he might be drawn nearer to the great, loving heart of God. Clustered around these scenes, close by our door, there are entwined the names of America’s most noble heroes: Washington, Muhlenberg, Schlatter, Hancock, Hartranft, Audubon, and the innumerable company of the patriots, who bled and died and were forgotten by all save God, have pressed the same soil that we are treading, have seen the same landscapes that we have seen, and have hallowed them by their magnificent love and glorious fight for Liberty.

Time lml the impression deeper makes As streams their channels deeper wear Hunts. TO meet the increasing demand for educational facilities in the eastern section of Pennsylvania, Freeland Seminary was established in 1848 on a tract of land of ten acres pin chased by the Rev. Abraham Hun sicker from William Tenant Todd, situated in Upper Providence Township, and fronting the Perkionum and Reading Turnpike Road, in a community proverbial for sobriety, intelligence, and morality. The work of the school was commenced on the 7th of November, of the same year, with four pupils Only : but before the end of the scholastic year the number of students had increased to seventy-nine. The school was in successful operation for a period of twenty two years, until it was absorbed in Ursinus College in 1870. Rev. Abraham Hunsicker, a bishop of the Mennonite Church, was a man of strong religious convictions, and greatly felt the need of higher education among his Mennonite brethren. lie expected to receive his chief Support from them. But they soon became offended, called him proud, and finally excommunicated him from their fellowship. While he received anathemas from his brethren he grew in favor with other denominations and with men of liberal ideas. The school was non-sectarian from the start, conducted under the proprietorship of Rev. Abraham Hunsicker. the principalship of Henry A. Hunsicker. a son of the proprietor, and the leadership of Professor James Warren Sunderland, A.M., who was head teacher for three years. Subsequently the principal teachers were F. R. S. Hunsicker, J. H. Hendricks. William E. Williamson, J. Shelly Weinberger, J. T. Preston, and A. H. Fetterolf. No school in Eastern Pennsylvania was more popular. Students from all denominations of English and German communities between the Susquehanna and the Delaware, parts of New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware Hocked hereto the popular hoarding-school. Here Lucrctia Mott, the Quaker preacher ; lecturers on the abolition of slavery ; temperance reformers and anti tobacconists found congenial spirits. The first catalogue of Freeland Seminary sets forth the advantages and aims of the institution in the following manner : “ The edifice, an imposing structure of stone, four stories high and surmounted with a handsome railing and cupola, occupies a beautiful eminence, commanding a delightful and extensive prospect of the surrounding country, which is interspersed with farms, villages, and rich natural scenery. 21 “ The adjoining grounds are extensive and laid out with reference both to utility and ornament, a Holding ample grounds for healthful exercise, with pleasant groves and walks for more quiet recreation to encourage horticultural taste among the students. “The internal arrangements of the establishment are most complete, and admirably adapted to their appropriate purposes; the dining-halls, study-rooms, dormitories and other apartments, being spacious, airy, and well provided with every requisite for the health, comfort, and convenience of the student. The building is amply supplied with pure water. “The domestic department is under the immediate supervision of the principal and his assistants, who board with the students and sit at the common table, exercising by their constant presence and parental intercourse a salutary influence upon the manners, habits, and tastes of their pupils, and giving to the household as far as possible the character of a well-ordered Christian family. “The discipline is mild but firm. “An accurate record of the student's scholarship and deportment is kept and is sent to his parent or guardian at the close of every quarter. “ The design of the school is to impart a thorough and liberal course of instruction in all the branches of an English, Classical, and Scientific education. “ The institution is provided with apparatus for illustrating most of the principles of science, with a select library and a cabinet of natural history. “ A normal class is organized and certificates of qualification are furnished to those competent to take charge of schools. ’ ’ At the southwest corner of the present College grounds stood a large oak tree and the district schoolhouse, called Todd's Schoolhouse. In the rear of the Seminary edifice towered a number of oaks, a few of which still do sentinel duty. In front of the building the stumps had recently been removed. The public is indebted to the Rev. Henry A. Hunsicker, principal of Freeland Seminary for seventeen years and owner for a longer time, for all the matured trees on the College grounds except the oaks, and for most of those on Captain Fetterolf-s farm and on lots sold therefrom. CKI-KI.ANl) S K M l.NAKV 22 Four farmhouses stood on each side of the turnpike between the tollgate and Perkioinen Bridge, a distance of a mile. The post office for Freeland Seminary for the first three years was Trappe. From 1851 to 1861 it was Perkiomen Bridge. As the school prospered a village began to grow around it, and it received its name, Freeland, from Freeland Seminary. In 1855 an effort was made to have this village called Townsend, in honor of Samuel Townsend, who had moved here from Philadelphia, and in the county map published about this time it is called Townsend ; but this name did not last long. In 1861 the post office of Perkiomen Bridge was moved to the store of Frank M. Hobson, who was appointed postmaster. The following year the name of the post office was changed to Freeland. When the Perkiomen Railroad was opened and time-table Xo. 1, May 8, 1868, was issued, there was a bitter light over the name of the station, called Freeland. The railroad company finally decided to give a new name to the station and accordingly called it Collegeville. In September of the same year the post office was moved to the station and the name changed to Collegeville. Thus fell the fortifications of Freeland. Section 7 of the constitution of ITsinus College,, adopted February 23, A. 1). 1869, reads as follows: “ The Board shall not change the name (Freeland) of the place in which the college is located, but shall use all proper means to have that name retained. This section, however, shall not be construed so as to prohibit the Board or College from designating the place by another name should its present name be altered.” In 1854 Benjamin A. Hunsicker, who had been steward of Freeland Seminary for several years, erected the brick boarding house known as Prospect Terrace, on land purchased from Matthias Haldeman, adjoining the southern boundary of Freeland Seminary campus, to accommodate the overflow of students in the school and to keep summer boarders. On March 25, 1855, he died and was buried in Freeland Cemetery before the church edifice was completed in the same year. The church, which was undenominational, supplied a long-felt want and was a necessary adjunct to Freeland Seminary. It is now Trinity Reformed Church and sustains a similar relation to Ursinus College. In 1856 the North Wing, 38 feet square, was built to supply an increasing demand to accommodate students. The second story furnished ample space for a first class schoolroom, which was used as a study-hall. The third and fourth stories served as dormitories. During the seventeen years of the Rev. Henry A. Hutisicker’s principalship 3799 students were under his instruction. The firm, yet mild and kindly, management enabled his students to cherish most agreeable memories of their school days. He had few equals in school life in his aptitude to advise and instruct the young. The normal class he organized supplied a want in the public schools. He furnished certificates of qualification to those competent to take charge of schools. 25 Examinations were held at the end of every quarter and a public exhibition at the close of the year. The exercises became very popular and did much to arouse the spirit of debate and to cultivate a taste for dramatic performance. In 1859 the Millersville Normal Institute, under the supervision and principalsliip of its founder, was recognized by the State authorities as the first normal school under the law. and year by year others came to the front, all of which were superior competitors with the academies, as the former had the aid of the State. The outlook was unfavorable. Meanwhile, county superintendents were holding institutes in the counties. The only defense was to Face about and try to do what the sup rintendents and normal schools did. In this Freeland Seminary was reasonably successful. Books on normal methods were bought, the best methods were taught, institutes in the school were held, which became popular, and the school continued to be a teacher of teachers and thus survived. The greatest enemy to the schools in the North was the Rebellion. Many female schools depending largely on Southern patronage were soon wound up. The firing on Fort Sumter only fired the patriotism of Freeland Seminary. No institution was ever more loyal. Anti-slavery agitators were always welcomed at Freeland Seminaty before and during the Rebellion. The very name, Freeland, tells it', own story. But when the draft was put into execution twenty-six students left for their homes in one day. The school was alarmingly decimated and more or less demoralized. These men preferred, if drafted, to be accredited to the districts from which they had come. The invasion of the Keystone Slate was threatened and the training of home guards became the order of the day. There arose a lively trade in hooks treating on military tactics. Teachers studied this new science more eagerly than classics and mathematics, and a West Point academy was right in the little village. W: rKNNSVI.VAMA FKMAI.K COI.I.KCK. At one time it was thought the wisest plan to save the school would be to establish a normal school in the district, to Ik? located at Freeland. Meetings were held to take the initiatory steps and stock was solicited with a promise of profits which would accrue from such a school. Great opposition was aroused by the neighboring schools, and when it was ascertained that no profits could accrue from a normal school the scheme was abandoned. 24 These military manoeuvring? were hugely enjoyed. Right about face, left about face, forward, march, were words in the mouth of the youngest student. In 1865 Freeland Seminary was leased for a period of five years to Professor A. II. Fetterolf as principal and Captain II. H. Fotterolf as steward. During Professor Fetterolf's principalship the aim was to keep a school superior to that of former days. The school was successful and half the number of students remained when Ursinus College commenced in 1870. The school had many unruly boys from the towns and severe chastisement was regarded as defense of virtue in those days. Four strokes of the razor strop on the bare back was a cure for truancy ; for tearing down the limbs of cherry trees to procure cherries the switching of the offender with the limbs lie had broken until all were in splinters in the presence of the whole school was a reminder that this offense must not be repeated : and for private offenses the student was taken to that Gehenna where now the sewage collects, to he flogged until he cried for mercy and promised to do better. To put an unruly student out of the classroom by physical force was no uncommon occurrence. The teachers during Professor Fetterolf's administration were the principal. J S. Weinberger. Jared T. Preston, and Alexander McKlrath. The act of incorporation of Ursinus College was granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania. February 5, 1X69, and five days thereafter the corporation was organized at a meeting of the Directors held in the City of Philadelphia. The property of Freeland Seminary was seemed subject to an unexpired lease then held by A. H. Fetterolf. The name of the title of Ursinus College was accepted i the lessee, and the first annual catalogue of the officers and students of Ursinus College appeared in 1869 for the academic year of 1868-69. The formal opening of Ursinus College took place on Tuesday, September 6, 1870. In a partial respect Ursinus College was a continuation, under an enlarged and more comprehensive form, of Freeland Seminary, and it was reasonable to expect that many would rejoice in its advancement to the stature of a college, and to manifest a lively interest in its prosperity. Before Ursinus College was in operation a report had spread that Ursinus was going to be a school to prepare ministers. A controversy was raging in the Church and the management of the school was more or less alfected by this spirit, and it was soon manifest that for the nucleus of the school dependence must be placed on another class of patronage. Some of the old patrons were offended, saying that the school was not what it used to be. There remained a remnant of the dear old Xi Rho Delta Society, which had three degrees, called the Academic, the Pythagorean, and the Platonic. This society became inane, and the Schaff Literary Society succeeded it. The establishment of the normal schools by the State was a death blow to the academies. Before they were established it was the province of the academy to instruct young men to become teachers, to prepare them for college, to afford 25 them a preliminary education for the study of law, medicine, and theology, and to fit them for bookkeeping and business. The list of men educated at Freeland Seminary includes many noteworthy names, among whom may be mentioned the scientists Hoffman, Moyer, and Rotlirock ; the jurists and barristers Swartz, Albright, Gotwalts, Strassburger, Yanderslice. Snyder, Hunsieker, Corson, Kratz, March, and Hobson; the journalists Marseilles and Hoover ; in the political arena. Captain I'etterolf, A. I).

WITH the Commencement Kxercises for 1900, Ursinus College completes thirty years of academic work. It is next to the youngest college in Pennsylvania. In this brief period it has made rapid strides in every direction : its graduates arc pattered all over the Union, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, livery learned profession is represented by its Alumni. In scholarship it takes high rank among the colleges of the Commonwealth ; its location is ideal, its buildings ample, its Faculty learned, its Hoard of Direction active and progressive, its student-body, composed of gentlemen, studious and earnest. Organization.— Ursinus College owes its origin to the zeal of a number of ministers and elders of the Reformed Church in the United States, who viewed with fear certain innovations which had manifested themselves in their church. The rapid growth of ritualistic tendencies seemed to these devoted souls to be in conflict with the historic cultus of the Reformed Church. The church of their fathers was moving away from its ancient landmarks, and it was to check these dangerous tendencies that Ursinus College came into existence. The predominating idea of the founders was expressed at their first meeting in a resolution which read, “ Whereas, there is an increasing demand in the Reformed Church for educational facilities, and whereas we have no school in this section of onr Zion distinctively Reformed and adapted to the wants of our sons both intellectually and morally : therefore, resolved that we found and establish, at such a place as hereafter be determined, an institution of learning that shall afford young men the advantages of a collegiate education. Resolved, that the religious and moral teachings of such institution shall be positively based on the Heidelberg Catechism, the symbol of the Reformed Church.” This resolution was passed at a meeting at o. 308 Walnut street, Philadelphia, in November, 1868. The matter of a new college was agitated through the instrumentality of the Reformed Church Monthly, a publication established in iS6S by the Rev J. II. A. Boniberger, D.D. This first meeting was attended by Rev. J. H A Botnberger, Rev. II. II. W. Hibshman, John Wiest. A. Kline, A. W. Myers, and Mr. Graver. Mr. Kline is the only one of the original number still surviving. 29 At a meeting held November 30, 186®, at No. 26 X Fifth street, Philadelphia, the following paper was prepared and signed, which embodies the views of the founders of the College : “The undersigned ministers, members and friends of the Herman Reformed Church and residing within the limits of the Chassis of Philadelphia, realizing the importance of establishing in our midst a collegiate institution which shall afford the usual advantages of a higher religious and literary education and at the same time specially providing for training in the German branches, herewith agree to unite in an effort to found such an institution, and to make the necessary arrangements for opening it as soon as possible, under the management of a suitable Board of Trustees. It is expressly understood and agreed that the religious and moral principles upon which the institution shall be based shall be those of the Heidelberg Catechism and historically distinctive of the German Reformed Church, and that this object shall be definitely secured and provided for in the charter of the institution. An informal organization of the Board of Directors was formed with Rev. Jacob Dahlman. Jr., of Philadelphia, as President; Rev. II. H. W. Hibshman as Vice-President: H. Kratz, of Trappe, as Secretary, and Wright A. Bringhurst, of Trappe, as Treasurer. The work of selecting a location, of raising funds, of procuring a charter were rapidly pushed to successful completion. Charter.— The act of incorporation under which I'rsiiius College is conducted, was granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania by special Act approved February 5. 1869. The first section of the act of incorporation establishes an institution of learning for the purpose “of imparting instruction in science, literature, the liberal arts and learned professions by the name, style, and title of Ursinus College.” The second section constitutes such institution a body politic and corporate in law, granting unto it authority to hold real estate, receive bequests, buy and sell and mortgage its real estate under the care and management of a Board of Directors not exceeding twenty-one in number. The third section authorizes the Board of Directors to establish departments C1 i as. Wannk m ach kk, A. Ki.ink. Geo. Sc hall. William L. Graver. II. K. Haknish. Jacob Dahlman, H. H. W. Hibshman.

The fourth section names the first Board of Directors. The fifth section provides for the filling of vacancies in the Hoard and for the election of a Treasurer. The sixth section authorizes the Board to establish a Constitution and By-laws. Section seven authorizes the Faculty, with the advice and consent of the Board of Directors, to “confer the degrees, honors, and dignities usually conferred by similar departments in the colleges and universities of this Commonwealth.” The eighth or last section provides that no misnomer of the corporation shall defeat or annul any gift, grant, devise or bequest to or from said corporation. Name. It was the desire of the founders that the name of the College should be an index of its principles. Ruled by this desire, they chose the name of one of the most distinguished reformers and scholars of the Sixteenth Century, rrsinus,” as best embodying the principles upon which the College was established. Ursinus, the renowed theologian of Germany, suruamed “The Pious,” was the principal author of the Heidelberg Catechism, and many masterly works in defence of Apostolic Christianity ; who will ever be held in honored remembrance as a most worthy and distinguished representative of eminent learning, consecrated to the service of a pure Christianity. Location.— One of the first matters to be determined was where the new institution of learning should be located. A successful preparatory school had for many years been located at Freeland, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, known as Freeland Seminary. The Rev. Mr. Hibshman. who was pastor of St. Luke’s Reformed Church at Trappe, was perhaps more largely instrumental than anyone else in having the new institution located at this place, and one of the first acts was to secure this property from its owner, Henry A. Hunsicker. This property was purchased on February 3, 1869. This original purchase constitutes the main portion of the present College campus, u] on which the College building is located. Subsequently, the adjoining property belonging to Mahlou Fulton’s estate was purchased and added to the College property, being that portion of the campus upon which Olevian Hall stands. Permanent Organization.— In accordance with the provision of the charter, the Directors named therein met for permanent organization on Februaiy 10, 1869, and selected Abram Kline as President, and Henry W. Kratz as Secretary. Mr. Kline resigned as President on June 26, 1873; Henry V. Kratz was then elected, and has since very acceptably filled the position. At the same time Frank M. Hobson was elected Secretary and Treasurer, which position he filled until June 13, 1899, when he resigned by reason of advancing age. At that time F. G. Hobson, Esq., was elected Treasurer and Rev. J. H. Hendricks, I).I)., Secretary. ,, HENRY W. SUPER. D.l ., Second President of the college. Presidents.— At a meeting of the Board of Directors held June 7, 1869, the Rev. J. II. A. Bomberger, D.D., was unanimously elected President of the College. Dr. Bomberger had been the leading spirit in the founding of the College; a man of dauntless courage; of great learning; a born Polemic. He brought to his high office learning, dignity, force of character, piety and wonderful perseverance. He had been the leader in the movement from its inception, and was the logical candidate for the Presidency. He remained at the head of the institution until 1890, when death ended his connection with the College. The second President of the College was the Rev. Henry W. Super, D.D., LL.D. Dr. Super was appointed Vice-President and Professor of Mathematics in 1870, and entered upon his duties at the opening of the College in the fall of 1870. Dr. Super was an eloquent preacher, an excellent teacher and fine disciplinarian and brought to the College great strength ; he was Dr. Bomberger’s right hand man during his life, and at his death became his logical successor as President of the College, serving as Acting President the year following Dr. Bomberger’s death, and as President of the College during the Academic year of 1893, at the end of which year he retired from active labors, passing the remainder of his days in his elegant residence, directly opposite the College. Rev. Henry T. Spangler, I). D., the present efficient incumbent,was elected as President in 1893, and was inaugurated September 6. 1893. Dr. Spangler is an Alumnus of the College, having graduated as a member of the first graduating class, 1873 ; had been financial agent of the College for a number of years, and was, at the time of his election to the Presidency, Professor of Psychology. Each President in turn carried forward the work of the College to higher and greater achievements. Dr. Bomberger was the founder; Dr. Super was his honored assistant, and during his incubency of the College “Bomberger Memorial Hall was finished and dedicated ; Dr. Spangler has labored to increase the efficiency of the College in all its departments, and its present high standing in the educational world is owing largely to his zeal and energy. Rev. George W. Williard served for one year as Acting President during the years 1891 and 1892. Faculty.— On February 10, 1870, the first Faculty of the College was appointed, and, in addition to the President, consisted of the following gentlemen : Rev. H. W. Super, A.M., Vice-President and Professor of Mathematics; J. Shelly Weinberger, A.M., Professor of the Latin and Greek Languages; John Van Haagan, A.M., Professor of the German Language and Literature; J. W. Sunderland, LL-D., Professor of Chemistry, Geology, Mineralogy ;J. Warren Royer, LL.D., Lecturer on Physiology ; Rev. Jared T. Preston, additional teacher in the Academic Department. All these gentlemen, with the exception of Rev. Mr. Preston, accepted their positions, and in place of Mr. Preston, Professor W. II. Snyder was elected principal of the Academic Department. 3 PRESIDENT HENRY T. .SPANOl.EH, 1) 1 . Of this first Faculty all are still living with the exception of Dr. Botnberger ami Dr. Super. Two years later Professor Samuel Vernon Ruby, Esq., was called to the chair of English. Professor Ruby remained with the institution until his death Professor A. Reichenhach was elected to the head of the Academic Department in 1S78. He has been connected with the institution from that time to the present. Space forbids to mention the different gentlemen who have since filled positions in the Faculty of the College. Professor Weinberger is the only one of the original Faculty still connected with the institution, and although growing old. he still maintains the vigor and force of his youth. lie has been a tower of strength during all these years. The present Faculty is composed of men and women, earnest in their work, and thoroughly loyal to Ursinus College, who have specialized extensively in the subjects which they respectively teach. The College has adopted the policy of electing to professorships only University-trained candidates. The Faculty represent training at Vale, Harvard, Princeton, Johns Hopkins and Pennsylvania Universities in this country, the University of Eeipsic, and twelve American Colleges. Directors.— The success of the College has been due, not only to the learned Presidents and efficient Faculties, but as well to the business ability of the Hoard of Directors. The Directors of the College were first elected for life, and a vacancy could only be filled when a Director absented himself from all meetings for three consecutive years. In 1892 this was changed, so that Directors are elected for a period of five years only, and while the older members of the Board are still life members, the newer ones are for the determinate period. At present the Alumni Association of the College is permitted to nominate one Director each year, subject to the approval and election by the Board. The persons serving by election from the Alumni Association are F. G. Hobson, Esq.. Rev. I). W. Ebert, Rev. James W. Meminger, A. W. Botnberger, Esq., and Rev. George � S. Sorber. Buildings.— The present main building and north wing of the College dormitories were the buildings of Freeland Seminary, and passed to the College upon the purchase. The east wing of the dormitories was built by the College during the spring and summer of 1872, by reason of the increase in the number of students, and a desire to secure a chapel and additional class-rooms. Bomberger Memorial Hall. It was soon demonstrated that the College buildings were entirely inadequate for the increasing number of class-rooms needed, and it became necessary to erect a new building to be devoted exclusively to teaching. Robert Patterson, of Philadelphia, agreed to contribute §25,000 towards the erection of such a building, provided an equal amount could be raised by other friends of the College. Under this stimulus the Board of Directors 38 TUB CHAI'KI.. started and carried to successful completion the erection of the present magnificent Memorial Hall. The death of I)r. Bomberger immediately following the generous contribution by Mr. Patterson, lead the Board, at Mr. Patterson's suggestion, to name the new building “ Bomberger Memorial Hall.” The cornerstone of the new building was laid June 25, 1891. It was dedicated with impressive ceremonies June 23, 1892. During the erection of this building other extensive improvements were made to the College buildings. A heating plant and standpipe were erected and gas was introduced into the buildings. Olkvian Hall.—Olevian Hall was purchased of the estate of Mahlon Fulton, and has been used since that time for the lady students of the College. Co •EDUCATION. The College was started with the idea of educating men only. At the time of the founding of the College there was a prosperous and successful female college in the vicinity, known as Pennsylvania Female College, founded and carried on bv Dr J. V. Sunderland. Subsequently, Pennsylvania Female College closed its doors and there was pressure from the immediate community to have ITsinus College open its doors to the women as well as to the men. On June 22, 1881, the Foard of Directors resolved to extend the advantages of the College to ladies on the same terms as to men. .Since that time all the College courses have been open on equal terms to both men and women. Financial Endowment.— One of the most important matters for all educational institutions is a proper endowment of the institution. Efforts have been made from time to time to provide for a sufficient endowment of the College, and while the efforts have not been as successful as desired, yet substantial progress has been made. The largest endowment is that of Robert Patterson. By his will he directed that 5150,000 should be set apart as an endowment for the College, which sum is invested by the Northern Saving Fund and Trust Company of Philadelphia, a Trustee, the interest of which is paid semi-annually to the College. Under the will of Samuel H. Bibighause, of Philadelphia, a sum of $15,000 was set apart as a partial endowment of the Presidency of the College. This sum is in the hands of George H. Spiese, of Philadelphia, the Trustee named in the will. John A. Wanner devised $2,500 to the College, which is also held for the same purpose. There are two endowment funds, one known as the Alumni Endowment Fund, and the other as the Church History Fund, which have gradually been growing, looking to the permanent endowment of the institution. These two funds are in the hands of the Norristown Title, Trust and Safe Deposit Company, as Trustee, the Alumni Fund amounting to about $11,000, and the Church History Fund to about $4,000. Ursinus School of Theology.— With the establishment of the College, steps were immediately taken towards the establishment of a Theological Department. O11 June 1, 1871, the following resolutions were adopted : “Whereas, Ursinus College has been founded for the purposeof serving the 40 I K. WKINBEROKR. CIYH XYIAH'IO cause of evangelical Protestant Christianity by providing the fullest opportunity for obtaining a thorough and complete Christian education, calculated to qualify all who may avail themselves of it for the highest and holiest duties of life ; and, Wherkas, The charter of the College expressly provides for the accomplishment of this purpose ; therefore. Resolved. That a Theological course of study be provided in addition to the prescribed Academic and Collegiate courses, to go into effect with the opening of the fall term of next Academic year.” A committee, consisting of Dr. Bomberger, Revs. J. Dahlman. Jr., and Abraham Hunsickcr, Sr., was appointed to prepare a curriculum for this new department. This procedure was based upon an implied and well-defined right of the constitution of the Reformed Church. Yet it met with much malevolent antagonism ; and the constitutional authority for the course pursued by the College became more and more questioned until the General Synod, the highest synodical body of the Church, formally indorsed and sanctioned it at its meeting in Cincinnati, 1872. The School of Theology was carried on in connection with the work of the College, and at first by the same professors. In 1898 it became evident that it was necessary to separate the two, so far as teaching was concerned, and after very mature consideration, the School of Theology was moved from Collegeville to Philadelphia, where it is now established at No. 3252 Chestnut street. The change of location has proved beneficial, and while Collegeville is an ideal spot for the College, it is found very beneficial to the theological students that they have the larger opportunities offered by a great city, in the way of hearing the most eminent preachers: of engaging actively in the missionary operations of the city, and in being in close touch and contact with the large and growing University of Pennsylvania. The number of students has largely increased since the movement has taken place, and the Seminary to-day is in a most prosperous condition. The College is thoroughly equipped with a Biological Laboratory, a Physical Laboratory, and a Chemical Laboratory, all of which are thoroughly equipped with instruments and appliances for teaching in their respective departments. The College library has grown to fair proportions ; is open every week day to 11 students ; is completely indexed and catalogued. The College reading-room is open every day and evening, and all the current magazines and newspapers appear upon its files. The gymnasium is fitted up on the ground floor of the east College with proper apparatus. A large and commodious athletic field affords superior grounds for the use of the College foot-ball and base-ball teams. •43 anxaAv an.i. .1.1 Perhaps! WHEN Collegiate days arc over. And the world bids us forth To the strife and toil of lal or, And school-life is nigh forgot.

Our race Is run triumphant hopes and vanquished fears And, like employment seekers, hat in hand, Before stern-visaged Life we meekly stand. Grim humor frowns within his hladcd eyes, His thick, forbidding lips compressed turn down, His furrowed forehead roughs in sheer surprise, He cocks his head askance, like circus clown, And with a voice out-belched, half growl, half-hiss, He blurts : “ What sort of raw material’s this. Ah, yes; most fitting words, 'tis rightly said, The soil's material to the cotton raw, The plant’s material to the finished thread, The thread's material to the woven cloth. And so the student learnedly complete Is but a simple learner at Life's feet. The busy world’s the acid test that tells How much in man alloy is; how much gold — How much of Adain-naturc in him dwells. How much is God-inspired, Cod-controlled. The first to tarnish turns- turns black as night, The other rubbed to virtue glows like light. Ah, raw material yes ; but not all gold , For some are baser metals, maybe brass, And some, perchance, the clay which forms the mould And serves to shape the metal's molten mass. And he who strives to fill his destined place Alone can truly serve the human race. To ns our hopeful Aiwa Mater looks And asks : ’ Will ye inv travail true repay? How will ye thrive on nourishment from books? Were these hut wasted years? Or shall I say, When last from out the glass the life-sand runs.

He was horn in Northumberland County, Pa., on September i, 1849. Bred among those sturdy Pennsylvania Germans, who have done so much for the Reformed Church, he grew up saturated with the principles and doctrines of Zwingli. Passing from the Academy of Klysburg, he entered the Washington Ilall Collegiate Institute of Trappe, and remained there until the opening of IJrsinus College in 1870. I11 September of that year lie entered the Sophomore Class and after an active course of three years was graduated as second honor man at the first regular commencement of the College in 1873. Immediately on his graduation from College he entered upon a course of Theological study in the Seminary and later entered into the active duties of the Ministry, being called to the pastorate of St. John’s Reformed Church, Milton, Pa. After a splendid four years of service, during which the congregation at Milton was almost doubled, he succeeded Dr. Ilibshman in the pastorate of Trinity Reformed Church, of Waynesboro, and here for twenty-three years he has continued as devoted to his people as they are to him. At present he is the efficient President of Mercersburg Classis, and is very active in the Synod of the Potomac. He is also one of the leading members of the Board of Regents of Mercersburg Academy. In 1S97 his Alma Mater conferred the Degree of Doctor of Divinity upon him in recognition of his scholarly ability and personal worth. With the College the Editor of the Ruby wishes him success, and trusts that his already useful life may become more of power in his Master’s work. 17 Junior’s Poem. OUR life is but a journey from the cradle to the grave. And man is like a bubble thin that floats upon the wave. He rises in the glow of hopes, of bright and roseate hue, And falls in deep and dull despair; attainments are so few. And so on earth we need a stock of courage, dash, and pluck ; If we would make our way, my boys, we dare not trust to luck. Our names depend upon our deeds ; upon the interest, too, That we display in all our tasks ; whatever we may do. The most depends upon ourselves, to reach the highest goal. To every earnest fellow, then, true purpose is the pole, By which he climbs the mountain heights or walks the burning sand; So journey on with purpose firm, and trust the guiding Hand. Then fellows! be full-staiured men, and in our manhood we Shall teach the w orld this great and glorious truth to see : “ Man is his own star, and that man who can a purpose hold Will rise to heights that angels tread, to glory yet untold. E., 1901. 48 REV. J. H. nOMHEKOlCK, D.I)., ‘77- Dr. Rombcrger is the son of our much-esteemed first President. He was horn in Philadelphia in 1858, and upon reaching the period of youth was entered as a student in Ursinus College. His collegiate career gave great promise of a successful manhood, and when he was graduated from Ursinus in 1877, it was with a feeling that something would soon be heard from him. The influence of a pious father led him to pursue a theological course, which he completed in the Seminary in two years, and which sent him forth into the Gospel ministry. How earnestly he has heeded his call is shown by his faithful service in the church, and the great blessing which has attended his ministry is well known throughout our denomination. At the meeting of the Ohio Synod in 1896, Dr. Bomberger was elected to the chair of Practical Theology in Heidelberg Theological Seminary, which position he resigned last July to accept the pastorate of Hough Avenue Reformed Church of Cleveland. Last July the Board of Regents of Heidelberg University elected I)r. Bomberger to the Chancellorship of the University, but he declined this high honor with the intention of remaining in active pastoral service. The Presidency of the Ohio State Christian Endeavor Union has twice been very acceptably filled by I)r. Bomberger, and his great energy along missionary and other Christian lines has made him beloved by all. 19 Sophomore Poem.

MEIXEI Iy, A M . yo Professor Meixell was born at Nazareth, Pa., on July 15, 1864. After a course of private study and some experience as a public school teacher, he entered Ursinus Academy, and in 1886 was promoted to the College. During his College course Professor Meixell led a busy life. In looking over the records, we find his name very prominent in all the student organizations of his day. The Athletic Association, the SchafT Society, the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, and the Young Men’s Christian Association were all indebted to him for his earnest interest. He was graduated from College in 1890 with third honor. After his graduation he entered the Seminary, but gave up this plan because of ill health, and accepted an instructorship in the Moravian Parochial School at Bethlehem, Pa. While there General T. J. Morgan appointed him to the Superintendency of the Government Indian School, at Yokima, Washington, but he resigned this to accept a Fellowship in Vanderbilt University. He received his A.M. Degree there in 1892. From Vanderbilt he went to Heidelberg University to fill the chair of the English Language and Literature, History and Political Science, and following this he was called to Midland College, Kansas, to occupy the same position. At this latter place, Professor Meixell has acceptably discharged the onerous duties of a teacher’s life, and has received nothing but praise for his work. At present he is looking to Chicago for his doctor’s degree, taking English as his major, and Sociology as his minor studies. He is also a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences and the Moravian Historical Society. In short, he has proved that in one instance at least some good has come out of Nazareth. 51 1903. HURRAH for thee, dear 1903 ! Thou child of old Ursinus! Thy praise is boundless wild and free.

Dr. Spangler was closely associated with t'rsinus College before becoming President, serving as a financial agent and as a Professor. This gave him an experience and a prepara tion for the position, which he has since so ably filled. In liis earlier days he was an associate editor of the Christian World. RKV. Jamks I. Goon, D.D. Dean of the Theological Seminary. Dr. Good's life has ln-cii much enriched by his extensive travels His eloquence both in the pulpit and on the platform and his success as an instructor, has brought him well deserved fame. He is a historian of no mean importance, his researches being of a scholarly character and the recognized authority on all points throughout the Reformed Church. Combining, as he does, the work of the pastor and the zeal of the professor, he leads a busy life, but he is never so busy that he cannot give the College boys an afternoon or evening to talk over the issues pertaining to their religious life. Dr. Good is one of the rare men who possess the power of influencing every one he meets for good. j. Shelly Weinberger, a.m , LL.D. Dean of the College and Professor of the Greek Language and Literature. Dr. Weinberger is a graduate of Yale University, and since has been an honored ami able worker in the-educational field. He has labored long and nobly for the welfare of Ursinus College. He is one of the men who fostered the institution in its earliest days, and who made its present attainments possible. 57 Ai.cidr Reichknbacii, A.M. Professor of German and Instructor in French. Professor Rcichcnbach has been teaching since his graduation from the National Normal University in 1872. He has been a professor at Ursinus for the last twenty years, and has proved himself to be a careful instructor. He is a native of Switzerland. This especially adapts him for the position which lie holds. P. Garvin Mensch, A M., M.D., P11.D. Professor of biology and Instructor in Chemistry. Dr. Mensch is a scientific investigator. He is a member of the leading societies of science of the country, and is a contributor to several scientific journals. Under his direction the Department of Science at Ursinus has grown until it now holds a prominent rank among the best colleges in the State. J. Lynn Barnard, Ph.D. Professor of History and Political Science. Dr. Barnard is a native of the Umpire State, and a graduate of Syracuse University. He came to Ursinus after receiving the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. He conducts the work of his department on a progressive plan, and takes an active interest in the upbuilding of tile College. 5« Wii.bur Marshall Urban, I‘h.D. Professor of Philosophy and Psychology. Dr. Urban was a James McCosh Fellow in Mental Science at Princeton University. Hr received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lcipsic University, Germany.

Kune, A.M., B.D. Instructor in Latin. Professor Kline is one of Ursinus’ own sons. Upon completing his college course he was elected instructor in Latin. After the death of Professor Ruby he also became instructor in English. At present he is taking post-graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania and will receive his doctor's degree this spring. IIenrv W. Gum mere, A.M. Professor of Mathematics, Physics, and Astronomy. Professor Gummcrc was educated at Haverford College. After having been Assistant Professor in Mathematics for a number of years at Swarthmore College, he Came to Ursinus last September. The Mathematical Dq artment of the College ranks among the first in thoroughness of instruction. Professor Gummere has already added much to this department through his knowledge and skill in teaching. 59 Rev. John H. Secui.hr. I) D. Professor of Church History and Apologetics. Dr. Sechler’s strong personality commands the admiration of all his students. As a result of his advanced scholarship, clear intellect, and ready speech, he is noted for his thoroughness in instruction. His easy manner and genial disposition win for him numerous and enduring friendships. Rev. Piiii.ii Voi.i.mhr, Pu.D., D.D. Professor of German Homiletics and New Testament Greek. Rev. Volhner is of German extraction, and his prominence in church circles lately brought him his degree of Doctor of Divinity.

He is also a very popular public speaker, and has manifested great activity along the line of missions. Rev. Wim.iam J. Hinkk, A.M. Professor of Old Testament Literature and F.xegesis. Professor Hinke, although a very young man. has displayed extraordinary ability in the past few years of his public service as pastor, preacher, and teacher. His career at the Seminary has been one of unl ounded prosperity. His recent researches in the early history of the Reformed Church have brought to light some interesting facts, and afforded valuable information. 60 Bertha E. Trebein. A.B. Although Ohio is Miss Trebein’s birthplace, she received her education in historic, blue-blooded Massachusetts. The preparatory training of Dana Ha l enabled her to enter Wellesley College, from which she was graduated in 1897 with all the culture and refinement of New England. Miss Trebein has charge of all the Academy and some of the College English, and her careful, painstaking criticism is accomplishing much for that department. Eekanor Vkktrres Watkins, B.E. Miss Watkins is a native of the Sunny South, and has brought much of the rich dream-life of far-famed Kentucky to Cr.-inus with her. She received her elementary eduction at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and her elocutionary training in Florida and Philadelphia. She was graduated from the National School of Oratory in 189S. Miss Watkins has built up the Ek cution Department at Ursinus as the beauty of her Temple of Oratory, and the success of her Junior plays attest. Thro. F. Mkier. Professor Meier is a native of the West and in his migration East has brought the sunshine of music with him. His endeavors in the Music Department have been highly successful. After spending two years at the Chicago Conservatory and the celebrated Jacobsolin Violin School, lie came to Ursinus. 61 George k. Kopenhaver. a.h. Mr. Kopenhaver, who is a graduate of Ursimis, has reflected great credit on the College both by bis diligence as a sttuU nt and by bis faithful work as a teacher. He is an able instructor in the Academic Department of the insli” tution, and also holds the position of officer of discipline. WlI.I.IAM H. Kl.ASK. Mr. Klase is a young man of fine attainments, and is faithfully serving the institution in the capacity of Physical Director. He was formerly engaged in the Physical Department of the Young Men's Christian Association, and this has amply qualified him for his present position. 62 3 The Senior Class Motto. hairow President, Vice-President, .

For four years we have labored side by side. The motley tribe which the fall of i8y6 saw assembled for the first time in the halls of T'rsinus, has long since been welded into a homogeneous body of strength and beauty, united by the bands of the truest friendship, and at peace with itself and its fellow students. IIow foolish, in the light of all our Senior dignity, seem many of the childish episodes of our Freshman and Sophomore years. The drum for which we fought, the flag we made and lost, the cuckoo that crowed at ten, the scraps on the muddy gridiron, torn banners, etc., now create but a passing smile on the Senior’s lofty countenance. The prof, no longer makes our lives burdensome by trying to flunk us. Tv veil the town girls who once gave us but the coldest recognition, now deign to nod to us with their sweetest smiles, and the lower classman doffs his hat in respectful awe as we pass in silent dignity. Even long before our minds were strong enough to grasp philosophical and ethical systems, the class was unconsciously pursuing the Peifeclionist’s ideals. We have been noted from the beginning for having a progressive spirit, as well as for our unanimity Progress has been our watchword. Our class has been well represented in all the different lincsof college activity. The Mandolin Club took its leader and the College Orchestra its accompanist and four men from our class. The Glee Club contains seven Seniors. Two members of 1900 have been presidents of the V. M. C. A. We have taken an active interest in athletics, contributing athletes as well as financial support. Hut of what worth is all this braggadocio concerning our dignity and achievements in this little college world. A larger and sterner world shall soon face us. Our overwhelming thought of the great future, which is so near, strips 11s of the pride that has doubled our bigness, and reveals to us our own insignificance. Historian. The Junior Class Motto.

Poet, History of the Class of 1901 ANY beautiful thoughts, stamped with the golden figures 1901, come to the mind of the historian as he meditated on the past, sees the present, and hopes for the future. But our reveries are tinged with longing, and our aspirations, nourished by the fostering care of college life, yearn to express themselves in the realm of action. Discord and ill-will, fomented by a few backbiters and busybodies, have happily become a thing of the past. The smoke of battle has cleared away and the fruits of gentle peace are seen but the more clearly by reason of the darkly rising background. Already our feet are on the third step of our college career. The first two have been mounted, and with their ascent new purposes and more lofty aims have been given to our college life. One step more and we shall pass from these old classic walls and shall stand face to face with the more stern realities of life. With sorrow we look back, our memories clinging to the scenes of our academic life as the ivy twines around the pine ; and yet with joy and longing we look forward to the time when we can solve real problems, and decide the more momentous questions of life for ourselves. We feel that the preparation of these years, which have been of the nature of a sweet May day to 11s, will nerve and steel our hearts and endeavors to manfully meet and to honestly fill these obligations. We forbear from writing the deeds of valor done by the members of our class, as we feel that the pen of the mature historian shrinks from mere braggadocio ; and, therefore, our minds run in smoother channels, and our ideas assume a more modest form. “ We live in deeds, not ears; in thoughts, not breaths; In feeling, not in figures on a dial Wc should count time by heart-throbs, He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.” Gentle Reader, Fellow Student, we bid you seek the history of the Class of 1901, not in these lines, nor in the records of our student-lore, but we ask you to watch the lives and the life purposes and the achievements of the men of i9or. Let the silent, yet eloquent deeds of their lives be the criterion of their place in history. Historian. The Juniors. “ Great souls. By nature half divine, soar to the stars. And hold a near acquaintance with the gods. — Tennyson. John Ai.kxandkr. “He makes no friend who never made a foe. —Tennyson. Alec., baim frac ae he; and ingle, left his native countty at the age of fifteen to sec what the world had in store for him. He set sail for America and soon found himself in New York City. After remaining here for some time and seeing “Old Virginia beckoning with outstretched arms to him, he determined to rest on her bosom a while. Carrying out his promptings, he arrived at Jamestown. Next we find him in York County, Pa., and in 1895 enrolled as a student of Ursinus Academy, where he early manifested a great interest in literary work. At the end of the Academic year, in 1.897, we see him heir to the Admission Prize Scholarship and two years later he wins the Sophomore Composition Prize. He is Edit- r-in-Chief of the 1901 Ruby, which position lie has filled with great credit. Not only is our laddie interested in literary pursuits, but he is also engaged in religious work. lie belongs to the Bulletin Staff, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and was quarter-back on the 1899 foot-hall team. In all his undertakings he shows a strength of character and intensity of purpose emblematic of his early Presbyterian training. We grant though he had much wit, He was vl-iv shy of using it ''—Butier. The above is the euphonious name of that 'squire of dames and datn-sel(l is living a; the Alberta. He was born at Hamburg, midway between Reading and Pottsvillc. His early training was received in the public schools of his native town. He entered college fiom Ursinus Academy with great athletic prestige, which was not belied by his later performances, and he has now lieeome noted for his excellent base-hall playing. He is one of the kind of apples in which outward appearances are deceptive. To many he might seem very prosaic, but the few who get to the core find there an abundance of natural drollery. He is one of the kind that considers one’s college days the best days. and. therefore, does not believe in overworking—a principle which he religiously follows. What he will do after graduation is still a much-debated question. It will probably be enjoying himself. RoiuCrt Hknry A pmci.

A short, sawed-off, hainniered-down Dutchman is to he seen in the person of Elias Landis Detwilcr, a native of Montgomery County and belonging to a family whose ancestors can be traced back to the early settlers of Pennsylvania. lie is coinin' nly known as “ Dcttie ” or the “ Butcher Sign.’ IIis preparatory course was received in th public schools and Crsinus Academy. He entered College in 'S99 and is now pursuing the Historical-Political course In him is found the desire to become great with as little work as possible. He always keeps very quiet in recitations and frequently his silence becomes oppressive, especially to the professor. Ilis attention is not only engaged in literary work but also in musical pursuits. He per formes on the piano, guitar, and at present is receiving instructions on the violin. His convictions concerning the development of the social side are seen in his frequent isits to Norristown. His plans for the future are not known, but in whatever he may be engaged, sve predict for him abundant success. ' T.i-tr tlic joy that springs from labor.’’- Tennyson. Clarence, otherwise known as “ Daffy,” lives in that sleepy, forsaken town called Norristown. At College his principal occupation is bluffing the professors or cribbing At Norristown he is a social lion and on Saturday mornings weighs sugar at 500 West Main Street. Emery has 110 greater joy than working, but it is working the professors. He was never known to prepare two successive recitations, lie is also the possessor of a sweet little tenor voice which lie d splays to its best advantage in the Glee Club. He is a member and soloist of the scrub quartet and is quite expert at female impersonations. At all the concerts of the Glee Club he is much sought after by the members of the fair sex. Ills future is rather uncertain, but it will be either law or teaching, or any other old tiling. 73 Herbert ITrrshev Farnsi.kk. My lips pressed themselves involuntarily to hers—a Ioiik, long kiss. burning intense—concentrating emotion, heart, soul, all the ray of life’s light into a single kiss. —Duller,. l-'arnslcr, that pretty, curly-haired, dreauiy-eyed lad with the bias walk, hails from Harrisburg I ?), Dauf hhi County, l a. Farnsler is a great lady-killer. and in his case the fair seek the fair As a “steady ’’ he is all that could be desired, for twice a week, with seven special meetings, is his minimum. The maximum, it stated, might bring trouble to the Editor.' But this is not the only line where Farnsler excels. He is a ] eerless runner, holding a quarter mile record of 47 2-5 seconds, lie has had very flattering offers from the Vale and Harvard athletic authorities, but by reason of his great love for Ursinus refused them all. .Still, this is not all; he is considered by the American Morphological Society the authority on Anthro-pophagenesis in the United States. His manager is booking him for an extended lecture tour through Europe, during the course of which he is to address the students of I.eipsic and Berlin and the French Academy upon the above-mentioned subject. “ Men are lull children of a larger growth. —Brvden. Philip H. Fogel is the youngest ami smallest member of the class ; therefore, beloved readers, receive him well, for it is written, Whosoever receive th not these little ones, receiveth not me. This, however, is not a plea for sympathy. Philip Howard has given abundant proof that he can take care of himself. His preparatory work was done at the Moravian Parochial School. Bethlehem. Fogelsville, Lehigh County, is his native home, and one might, therefore, think he had a strong Irish accent either in his speech or his face, but such is not the case. At one time it was feared that Philip was going to rule or ruin the State, hut that was during the time of the great schism when two popes were contending for the ecclesiastical benefices. Among his intimates he is known a--the Kid. He is taking the Classical course and his class rank is one of the very highest. He expects to enter the ministry. Philip II. Fogkl. 74 John Christian Houck. Hisstiulie was hut lit cl Oil llie Bible.”—Chaucer. John Christian Houck was reared in Lebanon, and like all things reared in Lebanon front time immemorial, he is noted for his size. Our genial John makes rapid progress in everything he undertakes. He can, therefore, scarcely be said to have had any youth, but grew immediately from childhood into manhood. He was graduated from Lebanon High School and from Albright Collegiate Institute, and entered Ursinus in the fall of 1S9S. He plays full-back on the foot-ball team, and is famous for his punting and line plunging. John likes College work very well, but he is even more favorably impressed with some of the u r-roun d i n g s of this pleasant village. This, of course, concerns no one but John and the afore? said s u r r o u n 1 i 11 g s. After graduating from Ursinus he will study Law. or, rath r. he will take up Law, for studying is an evil which lie studiously avoids except during those semi-annual panics, called examinations. Simon G. Hubkr. “Meanwhile ho smokesaiul laughs at merry tale.’’- Philips. Huber is a nondescript S] ccimen from nowhere in particular and everywhere in general. He is a sure cure for the blues. He is a clear thinker and knows what he is at. His cigar is his wife and without it the entity Huber is not com plete. His summers are spent at Atlantic City breaking hearts, though they be of ice. Huber will become a great politician, judging from the rate at which he imbibes History and Politics, and is sure to make his mark in any sphere in which he may be engaged. His manner is c. iite unassuming, and lie wins friends everywhere. He is one of the funny men engaged in the Ruby work, and as such may have incurred the displeasure of some one ; but that he is thoroughly able- to take care of himself is a fact attested to bv some of the members of the Class of 1902. Oscar Walker Hinsickkr. “ A well-read fool i the most pestilent of blockheads. — Stanislaus. Oscar Walker Hunsicker, famous for his dry jbkes and Methodist oratory, was born some time during tile present century on Montgomery Countv soil. Reared among wagons and plows, horses and cows, it is not surprising that his general appearance shows the influence of farm-life. After taking a full experimental agricultural course, Oscar entered Ursimts Academy, through which lie reached College in the fall of 1S97. The interest ami energy which he has displayed in his work has given him a good class standing. He is a. strong “leg puller, but knows when to stop. 11 is home training is strict never being allowed t6 visit his ” best girl’’ unless he is accompanied by his mother. He is active in society work and his conversation is indicative of deep religious convictions. He is pursuing the Mathematical-Physical course and may teach after graduation. Wii.uam Samuel Keiter. “ Who thinks a faultless jjiccc to see Thinks wliat ne’er was nor e’er shall he.”—f ope. William Samuel Keiter is Snyder County’s proud contribution to the intellectual world. The common schools and Bloomsburg State Normal School tampered with his intellectual boundaries before he entered College in 1F97. He was graduated from Bloomsburg State Normal School in 1S93 and has taught common and high schools in Snyder and Juniata Counties. It must l e confessed that Keiter often acts as if he had left some of his possessions in his far-off home. This becomes more evident as vacation time approaches. Numerous ecclesiastical councils have tried to find a cause for this pre vacation anabolism. The evidence guaranteed nothing more definite than the Scotch verdict of “ not proved,” but it is strongly suspected that there is a “ woman in the case.” William is proctor in the Academy where he teaches Algebra and Arithmetic. He is Business Manager of the Ruby. Married life will be his chosen profession. 76 Daniei. Francis Keixisy. “ Nature is full of freaks.’ —Emerson. “Dan” is one of those strange fellows that enjoy a good joke, if it is on someone else, and yet he is not so faulty that there is no beauty in him. Away deep down in his heart there is no doubt a genial current, which makes a music its own, but, like Wordsworth, “his soul is like a star, it dwells apart.” In the days before his forgetfulness of his classmates, he was manager of the foot-ball learn, and cleared a pi If of money (?) for the athletic committee. It was once hoped that he would do so again, but the gods decreed otherwise, and so Dan is back again in private life. He now enjoys himself doing nothing, and s mie day will pull wires at the Gap:col. Ilis favorite song is the “ Battle of Boyne Water.” Edward Ethan At.i.kn Kku.ky.

For the two last seasons lie has captained the foot-ball team, and we are inclined to think that the position l'tsinus holds among col ege athletics is in gre t part due to I is efforts.

On Saint Pat ick’s Day he wears the “green,” sports the shamrock and speaks “ Irish.” 77 Lloyd Monrok Knoll. •• Fouls tush in where angels fear to tread. —lops. It Ik- sufficient comment to say that he comes from A 'fading. The culture of the South tempted his Germanic appetite for good things in his early manhood and lie invaded the domains of I'rsinus Academy in the dead of winter of 1S96. Lloyd Monroe received his early training in the public schools of Reading and from private instructors. He learned the printer’s trade before entering the college. Among his classmate s at college he is known as Metaphysics, because some of his doctrines belong to the science of uncertainties. He plays or. the second foot ball team and is known ito himself) for his vigorous offensive and defensive work. In class he occupies a high rank beside one or two chairs and a pan of the professor’s tab’e. At present he teaches Physics in the Academy and is Assistant Business Manager of the RUBY. He expects to enter the ministry. Harry Wayne Kochexdfrfer. iIciicr loathed melancholy. — MiHuu. Mike ’’ is one of th se all-round fellows that hail from Perry. He began active life as a teacher in the public schools, and after three yeais f experience found his way lo I'rsinus Academy, and from there into College. Harry is thoroughly developed on all sides, being prominent in the athletic, literary, and musical circles of the institution. He is a member of the base-ball nine, having played centre field for three years. He also represents the Schafl Society on the 1 itciary Committee of the College, and has played in the orchestra for two years. Add to this that he is Assistant Editor of the Ruby, foot-ball manager for the season of 1900. and a member of the V. M. C. A. Cabinet, and you have his history. ” Mike” is also a factor to be taken into account when the ladies are mentioned, ail'd is O. K. when lie hasn't the “ blues.” r 1?.. 7� Chari.ks K.

His room is the tenor of law and order Lerch is frequently attacked by that tired feeling and so us .ally takes extended examinations for the privilege of bagging. He was born at Weunersville, Berks County, Pa., and entered Ursinus via Ursinus Academy. There is lots of music in Charley, but very little comes out. He is the possessor of a very fine tenor voice and has quite a reputation as a pianist lie is quite jropular with the ladies and has never known what it is to be flagged. With him. as base-hall manager for the present season and foot-ball captain for next season, success is assured. Thomas IIknry MatthRnkss. Bid me discourse. 1 will enchant thine car. Sthakespear . Alas ! Thomas, what has thou been and what hast thou done, or, rather, what has thou left undone. But lo, thou shall also be forgiven much bcCntse thou toirst much physically. Tommy is a Lebanon County combination. Before degrading himself with student life he was a worthy stevedore and unloaded many schooners single-handed in his native County of Lebanon. Like all great men of Pennsylvania, he occasionally made excursions to the South where he studied the oyster business with great pains. He held steady positions in some of the public institutions of the South and readily distinguished himself by getting a very minute idea of their inside workings. He studied at Schuylkill Seminary, at Albright College, and entered Ursinus as a Junior. He is an industrious student, a good thinker, and a better talker. He will enter the ministry because his mental states find their easiest outlet through vocal disturbances. 79 Arthur Cai.vin Ohi..

Old, or what was left of him. entered Ursinus College in September. 1897. His preparatory course was received at the Normal School in his native town, Bloomsburg. Little is known of his early life, but it is asserted that lie consumed part of the lime in chasing dogs around the block and preparing skeletons of cats by submerging the live animals in boiling water. He attends all the social and college receptions, and declares that college training is incomplete unless the art of wooing and winning is thoroughly developed. He attends church when the weather is not inclement. The V. M. C. A. always finds him at his j ost. In him is found a true and noble friend, a sincere and earnest Christian. Warren Hath Rfnningkr. For 1 am nothing if not critical.”—Anon. Warren Daub Renuinger hails from Ziegler-ville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. He acquired his eurl intellectual training in the public schools of his native village. Later lie went to West Chester State Normal School, where he was graduated in 1S95. The following year he studied at Perkionien Seminaiy, pieparatory to college entrance. Since 1896 he taught itt the public schools of Montgomery County, until 1898,when he entered college as a special student. In his habits he is so regular that his biographer finds it difficult to write an interesting account of him he doesn’t even miss a meal. Neither docs he show any symptoms of love for the gentle sex. nor of being loved by them lie studies some, cats more and sleeps most. But respect is due to gray hair, therefore enough has been said. After graduating from I'rsinus lie exj ects to engage in the profession of teaching, with the probability of doing University w rk along special lines. 80 Vernon Spurgeon Rich. “ Hirst in a village, then second in Rome —Plutarch “The pines on Tuscarora's lofty heights Had ceased to mourn.

His promotions were so rapid and numerous that at an early age he was graduated from the Perry County Agricultural School ( the farm) and had entered New Bloomfield Academy. After receiving his preparatory training at this school, he entered t'rsinus College in 1897 and at once set to work to convert the above-mentioned college into a Presbyterian institution by his eloquent orations and long prayers. He lives in the “dog house,” and his room is artistically decorated with photographs of lady cousins (?) and souvenirs of the Terrace fire. His prospective vocation is the ministry.

He is a native of Montgomery County, and boasts that he is not compelled to trespass on other soil to obtain a college education. He received his preparatory course at ITsinus Academy and entered College in 1897. Most of his work is in Biology, and if you wish to see him at any time call at the Laboratory. Frequently he is accused by the- town people of “swiping dogs and cats, and very often, we are sorry to say, there is sufficient evidence to prove him guilty. While Sam would appear to many as being slow, he always has his eyes wide open for the beautiful, as is seen when some of the “Co-eds enter the Laboratory. His intention is to study medicine, after which he may get married. Whatever he undertakes we feel assured that success will be his lot.

It requires no very intelligent person to tell from wliat nationality our last classmate on the list is a descendant. Having taught in the public schools for nine years, “Billy” displays a wonderful amount of good judgment and good sense. He entered l.’rsinus Academy in the spring of 1897, and in September of the same year was enrolled as a h'rcshman. Sometimes it is diBicult to tell what course he is taking, or what profession he will follow. “ Bill ” has shown a great interest in college work, having taken several branches in advance of his class. He formerly belonged to the Glee Club but hate decreed that his membership should be discontinued. Although 11'ot singing with this organization, he nevertheless engages in his regular musical pursuits and is the faithful organist of the V. M. C. A. In the lives of all our classmates we see a tendency to set k the company of the “Co-eds,” but such is not the case with “ Billy.” You might wonder whv this is so. The reason lies in the fact that he is married. Judging from his success as a schoolmaster, we know that the world will he the better for bis having lived in it. “ Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime.

Page upon page could be written of the per sonalities of the members of this class, but that would savor of biography. Therefore I shall simply call your attention to a few of the facts which have characterized the Sophomore Class. Without a doubt, the most important event thus far in the history of the Class occurred last June when we left that bane of all colleges — the Freshman Class. Is was with the greatest pleasure that wc handed down to worthier subjects the gown of Kmerald hue which we so graciously wore during our Freshman year. The past year has been, on the whole, a profitable one. At the opening of the fall term Mr. Fong, of Franklin and Marshall, cast his lot among our number. Pie very ably represents the Class on the athletic field. Our boys deserve commendation for the wisdom and good sense which they have shown in overlooking the trivial disturbances of college life. We all looked with compassion on the poor Freshmen, who, when they shall have mounted the next higher round of the ladder, will look back on the present year with regret, and sigh for the energy they have lost in climbing all the telegraph poles in the place. Plow thankful the Class of 1903 would feel in future years had they stowed up the vitality wasted in unfurling to the public its microscopic yet emblematic flag. We are now nearing the second milestone in our college course. Half of the journey will soon be run. We trust that we shall be able, by our determination and courage, to overcome the obstacles and difficulties of the future, as we have overcome those of the past. � 9 Htstohiax. The Freshmen. MOTTO.

Freshman Class Supper in honor of Foot Ball Team. Freshman Posters appear. Freshman Flag raised. Sophomore-Freshman Scrap—Sophs draw razors. S the summer months were speeding away, the report was spread about that Ursinus would find the largest Freshman class in all her history, at the beginning of the fall term of 1899. On September 22, 1899. a merry set of young men and voting women assembled in the Mathematical Room and organized themselves into the “Class of 1903.” The aim of the class is not only to he faithful and diligent in everything pertaining to their studies, but also to foster and display a proper amount of class spirit. It is a lamentable fact that class spirit is lacking in the preceding class; but we have endeavored to infuse some spirit into them in various ways, two of which were raising a flag and putting up posters. But, alas, they are beyond redemption for they are going on in the sanu “ humdrum, let-her-go-easy ’’ manner as they did before. The Class of 1903 will continue to be true to her motto. “ Push Forward,” and as long as she keeps those words in mind, success will no doubt crown all her efforts. Historian.

The rest and change of scene afforded by a recess refreshes one and enables him to do more energetic and effective work afterward. The portion of the collegiate year upon which we have just entered affords more opportunities for thorough work than any other season of the year. There are fewer outside attractions and the bracing wintry atmosphere is invigorating and conducive to study. Thk mid year examinations arc almost upon us. 'Pile schedule for the examinations will be found in another column. The work of the term thus far lias been satisfactory and we trust that all will do hard, honest work during these examination days and thus close the term with creditable results. To be a success a college journal should receive the cooperation of the entire student-body, liven if time would allow theeditoiial staff to do all of the work, the paper would not be representative of the institution. We would like to see more interest manifested by the students in the literary department. Our columns should contain the best literary efforts of the student-body. In examining exchanges one forms ideas of the life and activity of the institutions which they represent by their literary contributions. THK i� I.I.H I IN STAFF I Y. n C.

John Alexander, 1901. 122 Athletics A GLANCE over the records of the past few years will show the rapid advance which lias taken place in athletics at Ursinus. It is only a little more than a decade ago that the Athletic Association was organized. Regular baseball and foot-ball teams were not organized until several years later. In 1890 a base-ball team appeared on the field and played three games with local teams and one with West Chester Normal School. Three of these were won. In 1891 there were more contests, three being with colleges — Rutgers, Lehigh, and Dickinson at whose hands Ursinus suffered defeat. The following three seasons there was a goodly number of games, but none of these were with regular colleges. Of the games played during these years a majority were won. In 1895 there were seven contests and four won. The following season a large number of games were played. The majority were lost. In 1897 eleven teams were met, seven of which were from colleges. Of the eleven games five were won. Although defeated a majority of times, there is progress shown by the higher order of games in which we contended. The season of 1898 brought great success to the “Boys of Ursinus, winning nine games out of fifteen. They won from Franklin a d Marshall, Rutgers, Dickinson, etc. This brought us in relation with more and better institutions. Last season's team was very successful, winning 172 points against 112. Foot-ball, which is of a shorter duration than base-ball, has shown even more rapid progress. The first eleven was formed in 1893. hi this season six games were played, two gained and 011c tied. Only one college team was met. The following season two college teams were played, Franklin and Marshall and Haver ford. We suffered defeat by both. I11 1895 there were five contests, four being with college teams. Ursinus won from Temple College by a score of 56 to o. In the season of 1896 more teams were met, but the results were not very favorable there being one victory, one tie, six defeats. The season of 1897 showed considerable advance not so much in games won as in preparation for future work. The season of i8y8 was the brightest in the history of foot-ball at Ursinus. Nine strong teams were played, of which the “ Boys of Ursinus” defeated seven and tied with Franklin and Marshall. The only game lost was with Swarthmore. The track team of Ursinus was represented at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, last year. The results were very encourging. It is also scheduled for this year, being ranked with colleges such as Haver ford, Swarthmore, Franklin and Marshall, etc. The foregoing shows the rapid advance which has been made in athletics at Ursinus College, without saying anything about the progress made in lawn tennis, field sports, and the milder forms of athletics. 123 Junior Athletic Roll of I lonor FOOT-BALL. f irst I cam Men J.

Pennsylvania. He possesses all the requisites of a first-class base-ball player, being a hard hitter, splendid fielder, and fast base runner. He has played on the ’Varsity ever since his Freshman year. His batting average during the season of 1899 was .340 per cent, and out of 22 chances in fielding he had but one error. John C. Houck, who was recently elected base-ball captain for the season of 1900, comes from Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Before entering Ursinus his athletic qualities as a base-ball player became apparent in his preparatory work for college. In 1897-98 he played first-base and caught f«� r Albright College. He is a fine batter, and can play in any position on the diamond. He has been elected a member of the all-collegiate team for the summer of 1900. During the last season he led the team in batting, and is also an exceptionally fine second baseman. Wii.i.iAM Thomas, the brother of Roy Thomas, the crack first baseman of the Philadelphia base-ball team, hails from Norristown, Pennsylvania. He entered Ursinus in 1898 and by his skill as a bas-.--ltall player helped greatly to make the season of 1899 a success. Before entering Ursinus lie played with the Roxborougli Club and the Myerstown A C., and will again hold the position of pitcher this coming season for the all-collegiate club. •34 Kochcndcrfer.

(Ikorc.K Ivi.MRR Koi-KNHavhr. of Malta, I’a., “knows how to play foot-ball. This assertion has escaped the lips of not a few who played against Mr. Kopenhaver on opposing teams. Mis even temper and excellent self-control are to be envied, while his quickness and dash give him decided advantage over the majority of his opponents. Ursinus will lose- one of her best, if not her best, player when Mr. Kopenhaver leaves her halls. CiiARf.RS Epmund Lkrch, of Wcrnersville, Pa., is a natural athlete. His great s]x. ed has won not a few games for Ursinus. His favorite position is full-back, but his last year's record showed him to be a strong man at half-back. Mis “ bucking “ the line is of the highest order. Mr. I.erch was recently elected captain of the foot-ball team for the season of 1900. Me is well qualified for the position. John Ai.KXANPHK, of Red I.ion. Pa , has successfully shown what admirable accomplishments may be attained in taking regular and faithful practice on the gridiron for three successive years Although short in stature and light in weight, his quickness of thought, which asserts its If in celerity of ai lion, amply suffices to make up for these deficiencies. Mad Scotland nurtured him a few years longer, lie might Ik- large enough for tackle. Kopcnhavcr. Lcrch. Alexander G. W. Martin, Right half-back. Second Team. Roth. Rapp Cole Tennis Association.

THE above portrait represents the Ursiuus contingent to the Spanish-American war. Private Long, of Company A. of the Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, enlisted at Mt. Gretna in response to the President’s call for volunteers, and served his country faithfully for the space of five months. His regiment formed a part of the Second Division of the Second Brigade of the Second Army Corps, which was designed by the War Office as the Army of Invasion. On the seventh of October, 1898, Private Long was honorably discharged upon the mustering out of his regiment at Pottstown. To show that the fruits of peace are just as lasting as those of war, he has returned to College life, and is preparing himself with the equipments of the Christian soldier so that he may be enabled by a good warfare to usher in the “ Kingdom of Peace.” 1S1 The Alumni Associations.

Last night a bloody war w.is declared bv the Class of 1903 of Ursinus College, against the Class of 1902 of the same place. Diplomatic dispatches have 1 _ ch flying thick and fast for weeks past, but the final outbreak was not expected for some time to come. Both parties had been secretly arming, hut the posting of the declaration, the text of which appears on page 210, was a great surprise to the generals of the Sophomores. The Freshmen have made every preparation to follow up the advantage'accruing from the first blow. The situation is intense and a clash is momentarily expected. (Signed) WINSTON Him.CHURCH.

BLOODY BATTLE! Sophomore and Freshmen Armies Meet. Heavy Casualties on Both Sides. SPECIAL EDITION. Coi.i.kc.kviu.k, Feb. 2. i a. ni.—The much-feared encounter lias come to pass. Fu l details of the fight art- not at hand at the time of writing. It is thought that the Freshman loss will be very heavy. The Sophomore loss can not lie ascertained. Scouts brought news of a proposed concentration of forces by the Sophomores, and an attempt to escape, as their provisions were about exhausted and the Freshmen in no mood for raising the siege. The Freshmen hearing this, called a council of war which resolved upon drastic measures. Knowing that a detachment of Sophomores was stationed on the heights at Perkiomen Cottage, General Roth ordered Colonel Rapp’s regiment to capture them and conduct them to an armored train for deportation. Quartermaster Hobson did not have the train ready at the specified time and this delay caused Colonel Rapp to make a serious tactical blunder. He deployed the different companies of his regiment into skirmishing parties, and here was the mistake, for the Sophomore detachment charging “en masse” upon Captain Peters's company passed him before Captain Cole could bring up his men. The Freshmen were not dismayed by one setback, and, having ascertained through couriers that the whole Sophomore army was in rendezvous at the Hotel de Mosere, decided NEW YORK DAILY BLADDER. to assemble in force at the Devil’s Den, corner Main and Fifth Avenue. General Roth was seriously handicapped bv the absence of some of his men, as Captain HofTsommer and Lieutenants Ilalteman and Anson were out with their detachment foraging the country. General Fisher wished to know the exact position of the Freshmen forces and therefore sent out an Amazonian scout to make a detour around Fenton’s store and return. Next he sent out the German governmental military attache. Baron Von Mosscr. with his staff who stationed themselves on Main street, on the flank of the Freshmen position. The Sophomore army, under General Fisher, now advanced suddenly up Fifth Avenue. It was composed of two regiments under command of Colonels Long and Lentz, respectively, and an Amazon regiment. Colonels Lentz and Long’s divisions were composed of loafers and non-combatants impressed into service, and armed with brass knuckles, hammers, and clubs. The Freshmen here, contrary to the usage of war, disclosed their j osition by a hearty cheer. The Sophomores, not wishing to fight, marched down Main street, then countermarched with a desire to make a detour of the Freshman position. At this time Generals Von Mosscr and Fisher completed an offensive and defensive alliance The Sophomores retreated up Main Street, followed by the Freshmen, who had an armored train, guarded by Manager David’s Irish Brigade, waiting at the Bloody Angle near the Convent. Here the heaviest fighting took place, General Roth ordering a double quick charge. Fisher, fearing capture, went into the car with the ladies and left the command to General Von Mosscr. who fought valiantly and whose efforts alone brought partial victory to his allies. Colonel Txnig, having no sword, used a razor to great advantage and sent terror to the hearts of the Freshmen. After some terrible fighting, the Sophomores broke and fled, never stopping till they reached Norristown, where they refreshed their harrassed souls and famished bodies with some grub. Lieutenant HaHeman’s company came up during the thickest of the fight, but catching sight of Colonel Long’s razor, broke and fled precipitately. The Freshmen now proceeded to the Sophomore barracks, which were plundered and virtually destroyed. The Sophomores retreated carrying their dead and wounded with them, so no estimate of their casualties can be made. I'p to the time of writing, only a partial list of Freshmen wounded is known, including only officers, as the list of privates killed and wounded is nowhere to Ik found. It includes: Captain Cole, slightly. Lieutenant Lindaman, seriously. Lieutenant Smith, slightly. Quartermaster Hobson, seriously. Corporal Swoboda, slightly wounded. W i vston H11 J.CHU RCH.

An armistice was concluded and the following are the terms : 1. No Sophomore shall use razors except for shaving. 2. No Freshman shall smoke a pipe on the co 1 ge grounds or in college buildings. 3.

ARMISTICE AT AN END The Freshmen Break Faith and Sophomores Retaliate. COLLEGE viu.B, Pa., Feb. 11, 2 a. m.—Last evening a mob of Freshmen without a responsible officer pounced down upon Quartermaster Miller as he was coming from the mess-room and hauled him awa on a cart as a prisoner of war. After a series of exciting experiences, he was left at tin- Hotel de Mosere, where the Sophomore commanders were holding a council of war. Upon hearing of the shocking indignities to which he had been exposed, the council immediately formed a plan so as to get even. At about 1 o'clock this morning someone knocked at Captain Peters’s door. Peters opened the door and was immediately seized, Ixnmd. and gagged and the stain resting upon the Sophomores was quickly and permanently transferred to him. Peters vows vengeance and the result is anxiously awaited. Winston 111 u.c HtRCH. The Great Schism. CONCLUSION. HE summer vacation has passed, the future ha told its tale, ami the labored and visionary illusions of the learned German prognosticator of the Class of 1900 have died out as they aiose— in his brain. Nay. furthermore, the fancied breach of the 1901 class has become a 1900 reality. The Quay faction of 19D' has become the High Church party of 1900, and the Antis have degenerated into the Low Church faction. It happened in this wise : Several members of the Nol-a-Kah-N itts, failing in their purpose to sow discord along party lines among the Juniors, resolved to bring dissension into their own class ; in short, to transfer the Schism. Accordingly they met and decided to introduce heresy into their own beloved Zion. It was to be a return to the flesh-pots of Egypt, to the formalism from which Bomberger had brought them out. The subject of contention was the cap and gown question. Full of the new idea and burning with a zeal to return to primitive forms, the promoters of this rank heresy issued writs for a synodical conference. Three bishops, four elders, seven deacons, and one deaconess were present at the opening of the convention. Bishop Carlus Petrionus commended the heresy of the brethren in prayer. Bishop Forresti Eunice Bickevilli defended the doctrine, and Bishop Jobannus Lutheranus Cephas waged war upon the corrupt project of the conference. The discussion became fiery and finally dwindled into mere bickering after the Deaconess had given her opinion, one heretical elder treating her argument with ungentlemanlv dissent. The heretical party stormed at the actiqu of their brother prelates of the orthodox sect, and His Holiness, the Pope's legate, Elder Jacksoniar Ehreti, seeing a hope'ess split between the High and Low Church factions, ruled to sustain the return to formalism. At the request of the orthodox faction an objection to the ruling was spread upon the synodical minutes, and the whole matter was referred to His Holiness and the Sacred Cardinals of I'rsini Collegio. In the meantime the High Church party, after a futile attempt to carry the bulwarks of the orthodox sect, purchased for themselves the badges of tlieir heresy and had themselves photographed in sepulchral robes. For confirmation of this see page sixty-seven, where can also Ik- seen Bishop Cephas. Elder Kinkeriti. Elder Bodderibus, Deacon Thompsonifi and Deaconess Larosof the orthodox sect. In due time His Holiness and the Sacred Cardinals of the Collegio 1’rsini, to the number of twenty-one, met in ecumenical council anti after due deliberations on the gravity of tin-heresy decided to witliold their interdict and sacred anathemas until the matter might beheaded throughout the Holy Church. His Holiness was also advised to hurl a Papal Bull at Bishops Petrionus and Bickevilli for their heretical audacity and to raise Bishop Cephas to the Facilitate Ursini with the promise of the Cardinal’s hat for his stubborn stand for the landmark of orthodoxy. Thus the heresy of the High Church party was nipped in the biul, and although Uvo bishops, two elders, and six deacons still masquerade in the garb of the sons of Belial, the glory of their heresy is as filthy rags. However, Bishop Petrionus still prays for the success of his lost cause, and Bishop Bickevilli gnashes at the steadfastness of the orthodoxy. ♦ For Chapter's I and II island 1900 Ri hiks.—Ivditok. 199 Tims ends the Great Schism, which began in the spring of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninct) nine among the ecclesiastical novices, and which found its completion in the ranks of the heterodox and orthodox sects of the Not-a-Kah-Nilts of Nineteen Hundred.

President Spangi.kk : “ Hey. there, you lobsters, close your heads! I want this here meeting to come to order ' ” Urban : “ Who in blazes are you, anyhow, to dare to interrupt mein my chat with Miss Watkins. If you interrupt me again. I’ll touch your ribs, including that delightful beard of yours! ” Whinbkrc.er : )h. say, clam up there, will you It is five o'clock and that is my supper time already once. President Spangler: The meeting of this here august assemblage (no bouquets, please i is called to discuss and decide the question of scraps and caps and gowns for those top-heavy, conceited, adobe-brained Seniors. I want every one to speak upon the object, and it you don’t respond I'll touch you at that point between the oesophagus and the digestive apparatus known as—what do you call it, Dr. Mensch ?- the surplice axis. Weinberger : I don't for the life of me see why we should knuckle down to those ninnies. This is only a bubble and will soon be exploded. At any rate, the whole class should prick itself with a pin to let out the superfluous air and so, Mr. President, I am astringently opposed to the granting of their request.” Miss Watkins (aside to Prof. Reichenbach): If you don't say anything to the others I'll give you some of this candy, see ! ” Barnard: Well, now, you have been chewing the rag for so long and you haven’t sawn anything yet. I for my part see no use in remaining so fossilized as the institution is and has been. If any one accuses us of being ancient and everything else in that line we can not call him a liar. Oh, say Reichenbach, set your tie straight, the sight of that thing on crooked annoys me. (I)r. Urban, will your anaesthetic eye inform me whether it is straight now?) If you do any outside reading on the subject you will find that caps and gowns is the custom everywhere except at antiquarianated institutions.” MISS Therein : Mr. President and other didacticated pedagogues, this disquisition as to whether we, the august faculty of Ursinus College, should permit the Seniors to wear mortarboards and priestly robes is a ponderous one, and as long as tbe President does not bedeck his altogether charming corporositv with one. I. professoress of English in Ursinus College, think it overpoweringly inexpedient to tolerate such bombastic, high-handed, unlicensed alTrontery from such an ill-assorted lot of scrapping undergraduates.” Miss Trcbein takes her scat amid a shower of bouquets and tremendous applause from contemporary members over 40.) No one wishing to take up the thread of this eloquent argument, there is a long pause, after which Dr. Mensch rises and speaks as follows : livery one of you seems so dopey that I'll chew the rag for a bit. Now listen to me and I'll give you the pure sugar goods, 95 per cent. fine. I see no reason wh we should lie called antiquated if we do not permit these abominations to creep into our college. There are a lot of colleges that do not have this custom and are still up-to-date. DR. Barnard : ” Pete, you're prevaricating. Dr. Mensch : Oh, close your top, will you, and wait till 1 have clammed, then you may exercise your gas works. 202 At this point Dr. Weinberger and Prof. Reichenbacli had an awful scrap over the last piece in Miss Watkins's candv box. and the meeting was adjourned amid great confusion, and the Seniors have their caps and gowns. They sit. they nod, they chew, they spit. And ever and anon a bit Of gossip from the class-room door Is mingled with their classic lore. They wag their heads and all agree That the Academy kids are just too fret . And when a plan to keep them down Is made, their face is fiercely lit with frowns. But when they take up Senior pleas. They feel a trembling in the knees, They know full well, howe'er they rule. Seniors arc large enough to play the fool. So with their woes they’re busy quite, Nor does it matter how they fight; Their troubles, too, are all their own. They reap the whirlwind they have sown. 203 The Terrace hire. i BY THOMAS H. OYSTER-POACHING MATTERNKSS.) Is was in the ‘'wee sma' hours” of the Sabbath morning that the cry of Fire! Fire! was raised ’mid the otherwise quietude. Eh ret was just returning to the rest of his cot from a vigil held with some lone sister ‘critter” up the road, when a gleam of light from the direction of the Terrace fell upon his vision. In a moment Harry determined that the Terrace was on tire. With sturdy-lungcd cry lie awoke the drowsy inmates of his own precinct, and then followed his work of alarming the “pimps,” The Dog-House went wild with excitement. In the bewilderment of the occasion the students thought that all the college buildings were in flames. Each gathered up his lust treasures; ” Kockey,” his horses; Kelley, a threeleaved shamrock Lerch, a Milwaukee brewery almanac; “Towser,” his flees, and Houck an embalmed Lebanon pretzel. By this time the entire neighborhood was aroused. To sec the dogs barking and cavorting about the burning buildings, to hear the stentorian shouts of the fire marshals (107 b actual count 1, to perceive Knoll directing affairs amid the hubbub, was more enjoyable to the students than even the Faculty freeze-outs. Appie and Gildner made a mark for themselves They rescued the skeleton.” Surrounded by the devouring element, they broke open the chamber in which “ Rones ” was so calmly reposing, and rescued him so that not even a hair on his head was singed, nor his garments scorched Matterness was the hero of the hour. Aroused from a peaceful slumber, he hastily exchanged his nightshirt with his undershirt, and donning his pantaloons and coat he sought the scene of commotion. His work in the bedchamber was especially noteworthy. Here he threw the basins and pitchers from the second-story windows, and carefully carried the pillows and bedclothes down the stairs. He was excited, and when he had lost control of himself the flames cut him off from the staircase. At this turn of events he appeared at the window with the seething, hissing, crackling lire licking the air all around him But Houck was equal to the emergency, and throwing a rope up to him, shouted, “Take hold of it, Tom, and I’ll pull you down “ But Houck's good work did not end here. By his order, the hose was turned upon the places where the fire was the least, for said he. “ How can it burn if so much wetness is thrown on.” In the course of his perambulations also through the building, he discovered that a barrel of hard cider was still in the cellar, and to rescue it lie deemed his bounden duly. To enter the building at this juncture was dangerous, but not to rescue the cider was a crime, so lie called for volunteers. He obtained them but the task was impossible, and after a vigorous effort Houck’s followers gave up the attempt, still thirsty. 204 KSI’KKSKNTATIVH JUNIOR ROOMS. female Peculiarities and Male Propensities. BY A. C. OHI„ PH. I).. AI.IAS TOWSHK, Al'TlIOK OF “ A PRACTICAL TREATISE X HUMAN SYMBIOSIS.” Man was created first, woman came after him, and, in fact, has been after him ever since. In my investigations upon this subject, I have found that the relations between male and female have become exceedingly complex, and anyone not in close touch with their many vagaries is in great danger of a call-down. Let us take up some of the most important differences. In the skull we find the bones of cartilaginous rather than osseous structure and indicative of a certain degree of softness. The point where the skull is joined to the spinal column is situated somewhat posteriorly of the corresponding spot in the male skull, biologists tell ns that the farther back on the skull the junction with the spinal column is placed, the lower the development. This naturally brings the jaw forward and into prominence; and right here let me say that here there is another peculiarity. When, in the development of the race, woman’s jaw was pushed out, there must of necessity have been a place to accommodate this stretching. The place happened to he near the ear, or. rather, at the joint of the jaw. This expanded so that it has worked loosely ever since. (Demonstrates by use of skull.) You see. Class, unless you hold the jaw shut, it is forever open. This pushing out of the jaw entails another skeleton a 1 difference in the shaping of the brain cavity. The cerebral cavity is contracted and tlie space for the cerebellum consequently made larger, thereby again showing a lower stage of development. If you trace the nervous structure of the skull, you will find that the nerves controlling the jaw movement end in the medulla, which fact goes to prove that woman’s jaw movement is reflex. It will also be observed that the muscles around the jaw are very large and hard, showing constant exercise. Before leaving the skull, I want to point out that the preponderance of the cerebellum over the cerebral matter would indicate almost a totality of peripherally aroused sensations. Woman's neck is longer than man’s; a fact probably accounted for by the excessive stretching occasioned by the gazing at other people’s hats and gowns. Her hand is smaller than man's because it is so frequently held by the latter, though it must be admitted that it is also much prettier ar.d daintier. Another notable difference is the constriction of the waist-line. In my study of primitive anthropological forms, I find no such constriction and therefore must attribute it to external caus-es, such as human arms. If you have any questions to ask on the subject, I will be glad to answer them. MR. .MaTTERNESS : 11 Professor Ohl, why is woman more loving than man? ” PROFESSOR Ohl : “ Because she has less brains; therefore your question belongs to Psychology and you must consult Dr. Urban.” Mr. Rice: “Professor, how do you account for woman’s inclination toward being hugged ? Is the question a physiological or a psychological one ? ” PROFESSOR Ohl : “ I should rather call it squecziological, Mr. Rice.” We will continue this discussion next meeting. That will do. 207 A Story in 1 hree Parts. I. 1 'T' WAS evening, and ihe moon cast forth I A glamour o'er the scene. Their love i � sealed, they plight their troth, Their lips their hearts reveal.

Miller appointed a committee consisting of A. C. Ohl and I). R. Krebs to consider whether spoons and spoonholders should not he done away with on account of the great amount of spooning prevalent there. The same committee was also instructed to consider whether or not mosquito netting should be put up, not for the mosquitoes in summer but for the pesky kissing-bug in winter. Under new business there then arose a stirring discussion as to whether or not they should allot a special table to Henry so that he might not be crowded while partaking of his daily meals, and also as to the advisability of procuring a set of Ripan's flexible rubber bands to keep Henry’s arms and elbows in a line perpendicular to the inclination of his head upon the table.

April ii.—Hopeless, homesick, discouraged, with fearful forebodings as to the future, AithurC. Ohl wended his way from dinner at Perkiomen cottage towards the dormitories. An indescribable feeling steals over him a kind of longing to know what the future has in store for him haunts his brain. In this state of mind he nears the college, where his attention is suddenly drawn to a group of students surrounding an aged “ tie walker” who was eagerly asserting his power as a fortune-teller. ‘‘This is my chance,” said Ohl, and producing the sacrifice (5c.) which was necessary in order that tile oracle might work, the two sought a quiet retreat. With breathless expectation our friend awaited the looked-for knowledge. After the oracle had sufficient time to get its machinery in good condition the glimpse into futurity began. ‘‘Thou son of Michael Ohl, to-day is revealed to thee thy future. In less than one year thou shalt marry a red-haired, grizzly-eyed, bow-legged, pigeon-toed spinster. She shall be the governor and governess, the treasury and the treasurer, the loved but not the lover. Thou shall render her the greatest obedience ; rising before six every morning and retiring not later than eight in the evening. Thou shalt be courteous even to humiliation. Thou shalt change stockings not less than twice a day ; keep thy hair combed, and pick thy teeth with a proper instrument and not with thy fingers.” By this time Ohl’s face had changed color one hundred and forty-nine times. The muscles about his mouth began to twitch and with clenched fists he swore by the great Zeus that he would not do any of the foregoing things, even if the Grecian gods would order him to kill all the bedbugs in his cot as a punishment. This attitude of Old was so uncommon that the oracle refused to say anything, and our hero walked away feeling grateful that it was not worse and more desirous of being content with his surroundings. May 6.—Not satisfied with the ivy as a monument, the Class of ’98 determined to place a marble tablet beneath its clinging branches, so that the curious passers-by might read and know what a wise class it was. The contract was given and in a short time the sculptor was actively engaged in chiseling a receptacle in the walls of Bombcrgcr’s lofty tower. All went well until the Dean's acute car caught the ring of the steel. Guessing the meaning, he soon appeared upon the scene. All was ended now ; the fond hopes and longing desires, the deep-laid schemes and well-wrought plans, all vanished with the winds, and the Class of '98 was laid in the grave of those that had gone before. June 6.—Knoll feels it his duty to get his hair cut once a year even if he does not need it. The time for the yearly clipping having arrived, he was seen wending his way toward the barber shop, avoiding all shrubbery or overhanging limbs lest he should l e detained as was Absalom of old. Reaching his destination in safety he took his seat at the proper time. The barber viewed the wool with a suspicious grin. The comb was thrust in to the backbone. The barber pulled and Knoll yelled, but the hair would not yield. An investigation being made, it was found that he was sitting on it September 28. It is a damp, chilly morning in April, and the Class of 1901 is to recite Greek. With chatting teeth and purple cheeks Knoll takes his seat near the radiator. It is no use ; there is no steam. There is an hour of Greek before there is an opj ortuiiity to get warmed up. I or a while he bears the discomfort with patience. It becomes too great to keep quiet any longer, and assuring himself by looking over a receipt that all his bills are paid, he 213 attacks the venerable Dean in the following strain : “ Honored member of Ursinus College faculty, three years ago. through the natural course of events, I came to Ursinus Academy to receive such training as would prepare me to enter the Freshman Class in 1897. Many tunes have 1 suffered persecution at the hands of my enemies without a word of complaint. Frequently have the fair maids of Olevia turned me down, but I suppressed my displeasure with ease ; but to-dav, sir. I feel that it is time for me to kick. Here I sit, knees knocking together, and hands to the elbows in my pockets. Now Dr. Weinberger, by all the electricity in the world and electrical apparatus in my room, if you don’t order the fireman to steam up, you may consider yourself deposed and compelled to quit these walls forever. By this time our friend was warm enough from delivering bis crushing invective to sit with a submissive air while the Dean was holding up his side of the question. November 13 The foot-ball players were vicing with each other in satisfying their ravenous appetite when they were suddenly attracted by : ‘ Waiter, please bring in a plate and another piece of stvak It was the voice of Farker and told that he was in great trouble. The fact was that in attempting to cut the beefsteak he had broken his plate and precipitated the contents upon the floor. December 9.- Noiselessly, stealthily, with soft steps, now crouching here, now there, leaping from one tree to another, winding their way along the tenuis back-stop, Cole and Matterness approached the celery mound. Using their prehensile organs with natural instinct, the coveted prize was soon obtained. Replacing the ground so that the celery might not be missed, they attempted retreat, but, lo and behold, there stood Gardner Allen with a club. Escape was impossible. They were ordered to surrender. The conditions were drawn up, and the boys were allowed to keep part of the booty in exchange for a bite off Matterness's plug of tobacco. January 19.—During the time of the shoe craze at Ursinus, a wily agent approached Peters, and said: Mr. 1 have here one of the grandest schemes that has ever been conceived. By this scheme you can obtain a $4 pair of shoes for 25c. The shoes are guaranteed to wear well and give the best all-round satisfaction. All you have to do is to buy four tickets atone dollar each. These tickets you in turn sell at the same rate to your friends. After you have sold the tickets you return the stubs from which the tickets arc taken and twenty-five cents to the company. As soon as the tickets, which you sold, have been returned to the company you will receive your shoes.” Peters bit ! He purchased four tickets, and set to work to sell them to his friends He at last succeeded He had earned his shoes, and anxiously awaited their appearance. He waited and waited, and at the time of writing is still waiting. January 24 The bimetallic theory, second edition, revised and condensed, was the subject of a political science paper read by Rice. The history of the first edition is something like this: Late in the year of 1899 it came from the press in a stupendous form, having a mammoth introduction and prodigious notes and appendices. The time arrived when it was to be read before the class. Rice begins as follows : “ Realizing that little time now remains for this production, I will omit the first six chapters, and begin the discussion at once. He proceeds, and after reading for fifteen or twenty minutes the professor stops him, and asks : Mr. Rice, I thought you had omitted your introduction? I did; these are only side remarks.” “ Well, returns the professor, you may read your side remarks some other time. What we want is a purely logical discussion. I see no other way but that you must revise and condense this paper, and present it at some future time. Rice complied with the request, and introduced the class to the troubles of bimetallism. January 31. -The Sophomore history was read, corrected, and received by the class. Everything was in readiness for the Ruby Staff. The time had arrived for it to be handed in, but when the precious document was wanted it could not be found. A search was made with 2I.J no results, and not until a reward was offered was its whereabouts learned. Then the Freshmen made known that they held it, and would continue to do so until the reward was forthcoming. Arrangements were satisfactorily made, and the work was ready for the press. February 6.—One day in the Biological Laboratory Matterness was heard to say: “I)r. Mensch, do you think a classical student should study biology for more than a culture course?” The answer was not given until the examination, a short time after, when the action of the Dr. spoke louder than words. Matterness received his corrected paper, and found that he had answered four out of ten questions. His tactics were changed; now he is studying to get some knowledge of the subject. February 19. “ Dr. Mcnsch, while engaged in the oyster business I found that oysters were very often discovered near the shore.” A roar of laughter from the class in Biology followed. The reason was that Matterness had related his oyster experience to some of his classmates. lie had reason to know of what he was speaking, for had he not been in a position to have this stamped indelibly upon his memory ? Bread and water for forty days in a public institution leaves its recollection. February 20. -The snow had fallen to the depth of several inches. The merry sleighbells were chiming their sweet music in the still, frosty night. The street lamps were sending their golden rays upon the down-covered earth, and the lights from dormitories were adding beauty to the already enchanted scene. It is just such a night when the students wish to have their old environments ; to be with parents and friends, to go coasting, or perhaps skating. In this mood we see John Houck. He longed for another good old hunt in the snow. His mind promptings conquering, John started out, ami before very long espied the trail of a large, well-shod A oon. He took the trail and proceeding rapidly he soon had it snugly treed in a cosy parlor, where it took him the larger part of the night to free himself from the sublime surroundings. March 8.—“ Mr. Keiter, what is the exact definition which Tiehener gives for a recept ?” It was a recitation in Psychology, and some fellows relying on their ability to pull legs had failed to study the lesson. Keiter proceeded to make a bluff. Kcccpt is the—cr—well—it is —1 can't give the exact words of Titcliener, Professor, but—.” “ Never mind the 4 but that is not what I asked.

Dear Father :—I couldn’t help writin to you and burstin forth in this ntissiff. (That is what they call a letter here.) Well sir, when I crawled off the platform of the cars at Col legeville depot, I mean station, 1 seen a little red house with windows all around it going up the hill from the railroad faster than the cars go on the Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad, and mind you there was people livin' in it too. It went so fast that the fire was fly in’ in all directions. I was affully scared, but just then a big gray bearded man, bigger ’en John Shannon, stepped up and told me that it was a trolley car. He then took me up a long street, with trees and houses on both sides, till we came to a big green yard in front of the college.— they call it the campess. Then we went up toward the college and forevermore such a big buildin' as I seen ! Honestly pap it was ten times as big as Stokc’s mill, and it just looks like silver. The Deen took me into his office and asked my name and where I lived, and where I was going to board and room, and a lot of other things too numerous to mention .’’ I guess I would have given him my gold watch if he would have asked for it, but he only asked me for my money, all of which I gave him. About that time a great big, broad, straight, smoothfaced and reddish fellow approached me and said that he would show me around. His name is Roth and he is my classmate. Mind you there are nineteen in my class. Roth is the biggest and Rapp the littlcst outside of the girls,—I mean ladies Pap, you’ve no idea how pretty our three girls are. I’d sooner have either of them than Sallie. Sallic is nice but she haint got the learnin our girls has. I hain’t exactly the smartest in my class, but then we are all learnin. I like to sleep on my little spring cot. I study almost an hour every day, but Sunday, and my health hain't failiti a bit. They call me “Puck” because I say funny things. One of our girls has yellow hair,—just like mine, the other two have black hair, soit of wavy like. 1 have to snicker nearly every time I hear the roll called. The names are so funny. Hoftsommer is nearly six feet and walks with his chin stretched away out. Smith makes me laugh every time I see him, lie’s sort of bent forward and side-wize and then his feet —well they speak for themselves. Halteman looks like our Prank only he’s spindlier. I can’t tell you about’em all. I live at Perkiomen Cottage and play with Maltie. Our English teacher is nice, only she writes between the lines in my compositions instead of reading between them. It takes a good bit of money to buy caps and make suppers, so you’d l etter send me another check. I think I’ll graduate near the end of my class. I am taking all the courses except one, and I may take it up after I drop the rest. Please remember me to Sallie and all, and don’t fail to send my cane and tooth-brush as soon as possible.
