Ph I 5 Foreword. t ts IIE Editors take pleasure in presenting to the alumni, students, and friends of Ursinus the first Ruby of the twentieth century. We disclaim, however, any desire to break from the traditions of the century that is gone, and to mark out new paths for ourselves; only a few innovations have been attempted. We make no effort to iorecast the future or to speak wisely of the past: wisdom belongs to life’s afternoon and we are of its morning. Neither do we wish to publish a budget of college news: that is the province of the monthly Bulletin. Our object has been to publish the reminiscences of the past year—to record those happenings which we would most gladly remember and to omit those which we would fain forget. Here and there we hope to merit your laughter. If we have failed in our purpose, wc trust that you will remember that our work is necessarily the product of moments stolen from study or recreation, and that to destroy is easier than to construct. To our fellow-students, at whose faults we may have aimed, we bear no ill-will, but have done all in a spirit of kindly feeling. The Editors. Contents. ts ts DEPARTMENTS. CLASSES. ACADEMY. SEMINARY.

Lynn Barnard, A.M., Ph.D. t t JLYXN BARNARD, Ph.D., Professor of History and Political Science, is • one of the most popular members of lJrsinus’ faculty. He was born in Milford, Otsego County, New York, on August 9, 1867. When he was but three months old his father, who was a physician, died, leaving his education entirely in the hands of his mother. When he had reached the age of nine years, Mrs. Barnard wisely decided to remove to Cooperstown, New York, in order that her son might receive the benefits of the excellent public schools of that place, then under the principalship of Dr. John G. Wright, who later became the principal of the Girls' High School of Philadelphia. In 1886 he entered Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, from which institution lie was graduated in 1892. Two years, however, of the time inter veiling between entrance and graduation were spent in teaching. While a student at Syracuse, Dr. Barnard became especially interested in the study of History under Charles J. Little, D.D., LL.D., who is now President of the Garrett Biblical Institution at Evanston, 111. In the fall, immediately following his graduation, Dr. Barnard was called to an editorial position on the Peoria (111. ) Transcript. Long hours and night work proved too great a strain, and lie soon resigned to accept an instructorship in History and Political Economy at Epvvortli Seminary, Kpworth, Iowa. In September of 1893 he married Miss Jessie May Cummings, of Syracuse, New York, a graduate of Knox College. During the years 1894-97 Dr. Barnard had charge of the Department of English in a German American private school in Philadelphia. I11 addition to this work he continued graduate study (begun the previous year) at the Wharton School of Finance and Economy, University of Pennsylvania. Here he came under the instruction of such men as Dr. Edmund J. James, now of the University of Chicago, in Constitutional Law and Public Finance : Dr. Simon N. Patten, who Shares with Professor Clark, of Columbia, the honor of enthusiastic recognition by German and Austrian economists ; and Dr. James Harvey Robinson, now dean of Barnard College, and Professor Edward P. Cheyney, in European History. I11 1897 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Ursinus College organized in the fall of 1897 a special department of History and Political Science, with an accompanying professorship, to which Dr. Barnard was appointed. Through his efforts the work of the department was skilfully planned for the purpose of giving a thorough training in History, Economics, and Politics. nt Since his appointment he has been one of the most wide-awake, up-to-date professors of the institution. His active interest in College athletics has led him to render much valuable assistance to the Athletic Committee, of which he has been a member since the fall of 1898. Dr. Barnard is possessed of considerable musical talent, and during a three years' leadership of the College Glee Club won a favorable repute, both for himself and for the club. Dr. Barnard's wide knowledge of general history and his keen insight into the problems of political science make him a proficient instructor in his department ; and his enthusiastic college spirit, ever alert in the interest of Ursinus students, makes him a great favorite among “ the boys. 15 i6 REV. HKN'RY T. SPANGLER. I) I). President of the College. ANCIENT LANGUAGES. J. SHKI.LV WEINBERGER. I.L.D. REV W. A. KIJNE, A M.. B.P. Latin and Greek are taught both inductively and deductively. Not only do the ancient languages have a great disciplinary value for the student, hut tliet also lead him into the higher realms of art, literature, history, and philosophy. By becoming acquainted with the master minds of antiquity, tin- student is inspired with lofty ideals of thought and character. The course prescribed includes many authors whose works explain some of the most momentous movements in the world’s historv. 9 BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY. P CAI.YIN MENSCH, M I).. Pm.I). The Department of Biology and Chemistry owes its present high standard to the eflicienev and energy of Dr. Mcnsch. Besides preparing students for research work in Biology, men who have finished the presci il ed courseareentered, without examination, into the second year of medical schools. The two laboratories. Chemical and Biological, are well equipped, the latter being supplied with material from Wood’s Hall, Mass.. North Carolina Coast, and Bay of Naples The department is in close touch with similar work at Wood's Hall, where students from 1'rsimis do special work every summer. MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS, AND ASTRONOMY. HENRY V. GUM MERE. S.IS , A.M C ERNEST DECHANT. A It. The purpose of this department is to prepare students for teaching, for the study of engineering, or for graduate work in science. The basis of the work is a thorough four-years’ course in mathematics; supplementing this by two years of laboratory physics, two years of mathematical physics, and one or two years of chemistry, the student obtains a broad foundation in the exact sciences, and has opened to him a wide field from which to choose his profession in life. 20 HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. J. I.YNN BARNAKI). I’li.D. The work in History and Political Science is based upon the Greek and Roman History required for admission to College and a general course in Mediaeval and Modern History prescribed for all students in Freshman year. Intensive courses in English Constitutional and Economic Histoiy are given in Junior year and in the History of the United States in Senior year. In political Science, the Juniors devote a term to Economics and one to Comparative Politics, while the Senior work consists of Political Philosophy and Public f inance. MODERN LANGUAGES. AI.CIDE RKICHF.NHACIL A M. A J TREICHI.IiR. PlI.D. The Department of Modern Languages oilers a thorough training in French and German. During the present year Spanish has also been added. Grammatical forms and the construction of sentences are mastered by oral and written exercises. In addition to the reading and comparison of texts from different periods, the history of each language and its literature is studied. The conversational forms are learned by practice in the class-room. At the completion of the full course the student is prepared to read classic productions in the different languages with a full appreciation of their force and beauty. 21 PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY. WII.IU R MARSHALL URBAN, Pu.D. The course in Philosophy and Psychology adds to culture the philosophic temper, and affords tin- technical training necessary for specialization in either philosophical or scientific subjects. Psychology gives an insight into mental processes, while the History of Philosophy demonstrates the unity of all knowledge, and continuity of thought from its beginning to the present time. A study of Ethics, .-Esthetics, and Philosophy of Religion gives the student a rationalized view of his individual and social experiences. Finally, a course in Pedagogy affords an outlook into t lie practical application of the foregoing studies. ENGLISH. IRVIMJS CHARI.MS LbCOMPTK. A.B. HARRIET BERNICE MacI.ACHI.AN, A.B. The aim of the English Department is twofold : to enable a student to acquire ease, accuracy, and grace of expression ; to give him a knowledge of English literary history and a direct acquaintance with its important epochs. During the first two years the emphasis is upon the former aim. The work of the Junior and Senior years is confined to the study of particular periods of literature and the early form of the English language. The endeavor throughout the course is to make the student familiar with the best that has been thought and said. 2 2 ELOCUTION. GERTRUDE F. HI'NNKI.I.. M.E. The aim of the Department of Elocution is to inculcate the principles which will insure an intelligent interpretation of Shakespeare, who covers the entire range of feeling and thought. Correct reading, which involves comprehension, sympathy, and adaptation on the j art of the student, is the basis of all education. The benefit of elocution is not confined to the schoolroom. It goes further,--it makes it possible for a person to appear at his best in any position, be it in the business, professional, or social world. MUSIC. s r % EDITH OVERHOI T McCAIN. JULIA THERESA WILSON. The Musical Department is under the supervision of Miss Wilson and Miss McCain. Miss Wilson is instructor of Piano, Virgil Clavier, and Grand Organ, while Miss McCain's specialties are the Violin and Mandolin. Classes in Harmony. Theory, and Sight-singing have been fotmed and are making rapid progress. The methods pursued by both instructors are thorough and up-to-date. The organizing of an orchestra, male quartette, and glee clubs has made the department a popular one among the students. 23 ART. EI.ORA A. MKSSINC.ER. The Art Department in its course aims at the development of the mind through the eye by awakening in the student an appreciation of the beautiful, and by training him to see correctly and to reproduce truthfully. The work consists in free hand drawing, in light and shade from geometrical solids, casts, and still-life. This leads to the more advanced work in color— painting from studies and from nature. The course gives the elements of art instruction in a way that opens up avenues of industrial success. Assistant Instructors. 2 A GEORGE E. KOPENHAVKR. A H MARTIN R STUBBS, Pu.L) PHYSICAL CULTURE.

The gymnasium work, which consists of calisthenics, dumbbells, indian clubs, wands, hoops, apparatus, and games, is conducted on the Anderson system, the essence of which is to consider and to supply the needs of each individual with the proper exercise. The class-work consists of German. American, Swedish, and Delsarte systems. 25 SO PHI I . C A SS K I.BKR R V Secretary. FRANCKS G MOSER. I.ibrar iau.

THE SENIOR Cl,ASS, History of the Class of 1901. « t THE course of the “twentieth century class ” is rapidly drawing to a close. As we look forward to the time of bidding these classic walls farewell, a feeling of joy. though mingled with regret, steals over us. We are glad for the opportunity of going into the world of activity with all its possibilities ; we are sad for the thought that a class of truest unity and friendship will be divided, perhaps never to be reassembled. The earlier days of our life at College were not free from discord and factional strife, but that time has gone—the great schism is a thing of the past. Those trials and difficulties, however unpleasant at the time, have served to weld the class together ; and now wc stand as one harmonious whole, looking back with regret upon the trivial and inconsiderate actions of our Freshman and Sophomore years. The historian might relate many episodes of his class—some are creditable and a few we wish were forgotten -but we choose rather to deal with the present and look to the future than to turn to the past. Suffice it to say that our class has always been alert and active when an occasion for a little fun presented itself. These merry moments of the past are now changing and clustering into the realities of the present, and are soon to unfold into the stern purposes and responsibilities of the future. The sun of our course is now declining upon the western slope, and as it passes beneath the horizon of college life may its rays of purple and gold guide succeeding classes to success. We feel that our history lies not in the mere braggadocio concerning the frivolity of our beginning days, or the weight of Senior dignity, but rather in the powers and possibilities of the men who compose this organization known as ‘‘The Class of 1901.” We have among our number men who sometime ago passed their boyhood days and have had experience in active life before they commenced their college course. Wc have some men within our ranks who may be termed inquirers, and these represent the minds which become most useful to society in the investigation of important truths. They are not merely seeking for something to awaken or gratify curiosity, but in pursuit of facts. In closing the fourth and last chapter of the history of the Class of 1901, the historian takes the privilege of speaking a word of encouragement to his class. Classmates, we are the first of a new century ; we have before us the signs of a revolution in thought. Shall we be simply bystanders, or shall we be warriors in this intellectual warfare ? Let us look all questions squarely in the face and honestly try to solve them. Let 11s test the so-called facts and theories in the laboratories of our own minds, and the crowning virtue of Aristotle will be ours. Historian.

The deep'ning gloom marks midnight.

What seemed an interminable period of time when we entered Ursinus, now appears but as a few fleeting hours. Already we look forward with regret to the Senior year which, with all its dignity and importance, yet brings the sad feature of forever severing college bonds. But this sketch is not meant to l e a prophetic glance into the future; neither can it be an impartial account of the present ; but in some degree, at least, it is to record the development and progress of the Class of 1902 in the past. The ink had scarcely dried on the pages of our last official record when our Sophomore banquet was held. The triumphant departure amidst the wildest enthusiasm and excitement on the part of our friends, the Freshmen, has become a matter of history. It is quite unnecessary to recall an event which caused such a deep impression. But the banquet itself! Words are inadequate to describe it ! The brilliancy and gaiety of the scene, the delicacy of the viands, the wit and wisdom of the toasts, could be depicted only by an artist. All these things ran be appreciated only by those who were present to participate in the pleasures. The second term of our Sophomore year was spent in deporting ourselves in such a manner as might serve as an example to our successors. We were no longer troubled by the outbursts of Freshman spirits, so frequent the previous term. The atmosphere had become argumentative instead of combative. Our journey through the labyrinths of learning was beset with the usual difficulties, but despite all diversions and perplexities we finally emerged as victors. : 5 When Commencement Week came we assisted the Class of 1900 to leave Ursinus’ halls with due dignity and impressiveness. It was our pleasant task to usher at the graduation exercises, and to contribute our share to the success of Class Day. The beautiful campus, the admiring friends surrounding the sombrely clad Seniors, made a picturesque setting for the planting of the ivy. It devolved upon the Class of 1902 to accept from the outgoing ('lass, not only the ivy spade, but all the traditions and duties implied in it. This charge was undertaken in the name of the class by our representative in a manner which rellected glory on himself and his class. After our return from an all delightful but too short vacation, we easily and naturally adapted ourselves to the new environments. The mantle of added responsibilities fell gracefully upon our shoulders. Hut with all the gains, we had as a class also met with a loss. Our first class president, Mr. Moyer, who for two years had been a most loyal and popular member of 1902, did not return but entered the Junior class at Dickinson College. His departure has caused a vacancy which cannot be filled. While we regret exceedingly Mr. Moyer’s leaving Ursinus, we cannot but feel gratified that we have furnished such a student to another institution. The past Junior year lias not been one of phenomenal change. Our class had no feuds or unpleasant situations to reconcile. The feeling of fellowship and sympathy which has existed from the beginning has simply been strengthened and accentuated. We have participated in the different activities of college-life. Student body movements, literary work, society enterprises, musical organizations, and athletics—yes, even college pranks—are entered into with enthusiasm and zest by the Juniors. Our college world, with all its varied activities, is but a narrow sphere. The trophies which the members4of our class have won are but trifles in the eyes of the world. Satisfaction in past achievements, however, lies in the realization of the truth, “ That which they have done is but an earnest of the things they shall do.” 36 Nkvin Daniiji. Barthoj.o.mkw. His looks do argue him replete with modesty. The great apostle of our class is a product of Hath, Northampton Co., Pa. His boyhood days were spent in assisting his father in the trucking business. He found his way to college via Ursinus Academy. As a college man Bartholomew is a hard, conscientious worker, and is usually found at his post of duty. His roaring laugh and his propensity for ducking form his chief peculiarities. “ Barty” gives as his aim in life, “ To sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish.” Zwinglian ; Musical Director V.

Before he came to Ursinus Academy in the winter of 1898, Mr. Fisher attended Krcildonne Academy and the Norristown High School. After such a varied course in his preparatory work, he found a pleasant haven in the Class of ’02. “ Fish ” is popular in all circles of college life. In athletics he is a rising star, and in social lines the brilliancy of his star has long been dazzling the eyes of his admirers.

His preparation for college was made at the Ursinus Academy in 1897 and 1898. He is a great admirer of the Co-Eds. He prefers to be called Jo'sat instead of Jo-sat'.

Sophomores challenge the Freshmen to a base-ball game. WITH the laurels of our first achievements still moist upon our brows, with the thunderous applause still ringing in our ears, we look back and see the curtain drop on our first venture in the collegiate amphitheatre. But now, what a gloomy foreboding steals over us. A new set of actors have 55 come upon the stage. One sweeping glance of the critic’s cold eye and the motley array falls back in utter confusion. Another trial, another failure, must be recorded in the history of that Freshman comedy, “ Much Ado About Nothing.” But-----. Ring down the curtain ! Another year had passed. The second stage of our journey was before us. At last we stood on the threshold of all our greatness. Sophomore dignity to Freshman baubles dare never again yield place. The toga viridis must again, as of old. bow to toga virilis. Other and nobler problems now demanded our attention. Far beyond the piercing ken of our vision extended the boundless tracts of learning. With unabate J vigor we began the exploration of the deepest recesses of the vast unknown. With logical chains we laboriously climbed the steep mountain of learning, sustaining many a hard bruise on the rocks and flints of the syllogism. From the summit we gazed far outward on the gorgeous landscapes of literature. We journeyed leisurely through the picturesque forests of History. We regaled ourselves with delicious fruit from the trees of Argumentation. To neutralize the intoxicating fumes of our wisdom we swallowed a drastic dose at the sparkling fountains of Chemistry. With incredible speed we were whisked down the steep tramway of Modern Languages, and from thence coasted far out on the level stretches of Classic Literature. Wc sharpened our wit and dulled our pride in the long sessions of Parliament. We gorged ourselves with the enticing fruit of absences, digested them in the peaceful slumbers of the class-room, and finally awoke under the scorching rays of the mid-year examinations. The Class of 1903 is but fairly started on its journey through the college world. The fullest intent of its bright career must be sought in the realms of the future. With terrific speed the rocket is mounting upward in its aerial flight, leaving far in its wake the glowing sparks of its genius Locked within its bosom are the truest beauties of this shining sphere, which, at the zenith of its flight, shall burst into stars of brightest hue. and. gently floating earthward, each shall become the center of its own constellation, guided by the unerring hand of Destiny.

Freshman Poem jDROM the hills of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey's shore, Came the Freshmen of L'rsinus,— Came the Class of 904. Much we wondered and conjectured What the Freshman Class would he. Though we wish for greater numbers. We are pleased with quality. We are full of life and vigor, I'ron 1 all care and trouble free ; Always in for fun and frolic, As the Freshmen ought to be. Though we have our share of pleasure. Vet our work is done each day ; For we all are fond of learning, A nd we store it fast away. While our life is full of pleasures, Let us not to pleasures bow : We have come here for a purpose, And must not forget it now. Let us then “ live for the highest And when college days are o'er. May Ursinus look with fondness On the Class of 1904. W. R. T., ’04. 62 History of the Class of 1904. « t AS the dawn of another collegiate year appeared, t'rsinus saw her Freshman Class composed of eleven brilliant members. Rumors soon came to our ears of the great things that the so-called illustrious Sophs were going to inflict upon us, but we heeded not the constant reports which were noised abroad. On the eleventh of October the classic walls of Bomberger Memorial Hall resounded with the Freshman yell. The Sophs, just coming from chapel, were so amazed that with blanched faces they slunk away one by one to their respective dens. A few hours later they recovered from the paralyzing blow and came from their seclusion to accept our challenge. They banked themselves against the door of the class-room in which we were to have our next recitation. Upon the appearance of our worthy number the contest began. Our final defeat was caused by the force of their number and the disadvantage of our position. Class spirit remained dormant until the twenty-third of October, when the Sophs, thinking they had found our constitution, planned a public cremation on the campus. The Sophs gathered before their small circle of admirers, made their little speeches, and burned the useless paper. Meanwhile, having put aside desires for such childish sports, we busied ourselves with our lessons. At the same time they made a number of rules which they did not enforce. 65 The most exciting conflict was yet to come. Contrary to one of the rules which the Sophs had issued we displayed our colors in chapel. After chapel exercises were concluded our would-be rulers attempted to obtain our colors. The faculty put an end to the skirmish which ensued. Since there were no signs of the conflict abating, the upper classmen decided to take the affair into their own hands. They formulated a code of rules by which present as well as future difficulties were to be amicably settled. The enforcement of these rules brought the desired result and peace has since reigned between the two classes. 'file Freshmen have by no means been idle in athletics. The girls’ basketball team was materially strengthened by two of our number. The foot-ball team also would have suffered without the loyal aid of our class. Our work in the gymnasium ranks among the best. Moreover, we have organized a base-ball nine and have arranged for a game with the Sophomores. Xow. as the sun is just gilding our horizon with brilliant hopes, we can dimly see in the distance the delightful heights yet to be attained. May the noontide glow of success but give us more fervid zeal to press on and realize our motto, “ Vive acl Sumimun.” Historian. 66 Tn frt 67 Academy Faculty. t « Hknrv T.

Some appreciation of America’s progress, power, and destiny may be obtained by contrasting the present with past conditions of the century. It is the difference between the tallow candle and the electric light ; the stage coach and the trolley car ; the old log sclioolhousc and the modern equipped school building ; the transportation of freightage by railway and the pneumatic tube ; the letter carrier ami the electric telegraph, which proves the advance of the times and suggests the grand possibilities of the new century. Less than a century ago the nations of Europe conspired to starve and enslave the youthful Republic; to-day they feed at America’s granary, are clothed by her industries, and made comfortable by her mineral products. Through the magic of invention, industry, ami perseverance, this nation stands second among all nations in area, population, commercial and naval power. Her expanse of territory and of domestic and international trade has astonished the world and proved the material advance of our national progress. 140 Recognizing the fact that only intelligent people can govern themselves and maintain free institutions, the United States has created a system of public education whereby the rich and poor are given equal opportunity. The achievements of this free school system have been grand and its success permanent—an influence as powerful as the Constitution under which we live. Perhaps the most marked feature of social progress is the elevation of woman to a permanent position, giving her equal opportunity with man to succeed in industry, art, and profession A century ago she was without an intellectual status ; the twentieth century begins her Renaissance. Our free and special libraries are enduring monuments that command the admiration of the civilized world. The Christian church in America has been the basisof national morality, relief, charity, and education, and during the past century has accomplished a noble work in lifting humanity toward a higher plane of civilization and of refinement. We enter the new century and the new age with great responsibilities. The golden seed has been sown. What will the harvest be in an hundred years to come ?

And the dean had (w)rung the hell. The Freshman voices blended In their clear and mighty yell. Then the Soph'mores, hold and haughty. Rushed the Freshmen o’er the floor ; And their number, more and weighty, Forced the children through the door. Although but few in number. Nineteen-four were brave and strong : Ami to everybody's wonder Waved their colors o’er the throng. Then the Soph'mores, flushed with anger, Having seen the flag unfurled. Charged ! Not thinking now of danger, But back through the door were hurled. As women were hold fighters In the good old days of yore. So. now, among the strivers Were the girls of nineteen-four. Being viewed by many others. Strife still raged and yet increased : But some Freshmen had their colors When, at last, the battle ceased. The Soph'mores, still undaunted, Made a proclamation bold ; They had some posters printed— A cremation they foretold, They would burn the constitution Which the Freshmen had drawn up. And they had the silly notion Then, to go and paste them up. The day was bright and balmy. Though ilte grass was nearly dead : The Soph it tores marched out calmly With a heavy, solemn tread, Smith, the leader, had a paint pot. Streaked with many lines of green. And in this they had a fagot Which was soaked with kerosene. � 17 They marched across the campus, Ilung the pot upon a tree ; Then, gathered in a circle. Gave a yell for Nineteen-three. Words by speakers of distinction ?: Who wi re men of world-wide fame ! As the Freshman constitution Was consigned, then, to the flame It is now my solemn duty To explain the whole affair, For the real constitution I lad not seen the outside air ! Now this may be hard to swallow, And, perhaps, give you an ache, Hut compelled I am to tell you That cremation was a FAKE ! ! ! 48 A New National Currency. ts « IN a recent discussion on the currency question in the political economy class, Mr Lentz advocated a new system. In the course of his argument he said : “ To come down to the present day, we find that cheese has become one of the most important articles of exchange. It is next in importance to the silver currency, and I think that the citizens of the United! States are doing themselves a great injustice if they do not petition Congress to pass a bill to monetize cheese. There is more cheese produced in this country than silver, and it is more valuable. Suppose you were in the Klondike and had not eaten a mouthful for thirty days, and there would be placed before you ten dollars stamped out of silver bullion and nine dollars stamped out of cheese bullion. Which would you take first? Though the face value of the nine cheese dollars would l c ten per cent, below the face value of the ten silver dollars, you would certainly take the cheese. Hence, I say, cheese is more valuable than silver, and it should be made legal tender for all debts, public and private. “I may be in advance of all eminent financiers who have studied the currency question, but I hope the day is not far distant when 412! .' grains of cheese will he equal to a dollar in doughnuts, and when the merry jingle of slices of cheese shall be heard in every pocket.” Then Mr. Lentz went on to explain : “If this hill is passed by Congress, every cheese factory can make its own coin, money will be plentiful, everybody will be happy, and Bryauism will be a thing of the past. The question might then arise, How can this currency be redeemed ? 1 would have all bonds made payable in Liniburger cheese, which is stronger and more durable. When this is done you can tell the rich man from the poor man by the odor of his money. Nowadays many of us do not even get a smell of money, but in the good days coining the gentle zephyr will waft to us the delightful odor of the able-bodied Liniburger, and we shall then know that money is plentiful.” Zwinglian Review. 149 Trifles « t!

Only two-thirds of the members participated. 3. Spangler and Miss Bickel were invited to swell the number. 4. They departed in undisturbed peace. 5. They were conveyed to Norristown in a rickety market wagon. 6. Miss Bunnell left for Norristown on the 7 o'clock trolley by edict of the faculty. 7. Hobson found difficulty in keeping his feet and his head in the wagon at the same time. 8. It was impossible for all the boys to get into the wagon until there was some doubling up done at the end where the girls sat. 9. The menu was similar to 1902‘s, although somewhat diluted and with a few omissions 10. Two of the toasts were in quotations. For the original ones, see those of 1902. 11. The flashlight which was taken was sent to Mrs. Nation for her approval. 12. The weather was balmy and moist, the roads soft and yielding, and even the moon smiled—behind the clouds. 13. Left Norristown at 10 P. M. and arrived in Collegeville at 2 A. M. 14. Participants begged the forgiveness of the faculty at 4 P.

KNOWING the impatience of human nature, it was deemed but courtesy that the friends of 1902 should no longer be kept in anticipation as to the future achievements of the class. So prompt efforts were made to ascertain the fate of her respective members. Numerous methods of peering into the future were proposed, but the science of palmistry, having stood the test of ages, was agreed upon as the most accurate. Therefore a palmist was visited, and Thi-; Rubv now takes the opportunity of disclosing the revelations as deciphered from the hands of the class. .Mr. Bartholomew will enjoy enviable health throughout his entire life of probably 60 or 65 years. He will largely overcome an extreme sensitiveness which troubles him much at present. There seems to be considerable fickleness in contemplating members of the opposite sex, which will make him very hard to please when it comes to selecting a wife. His choice, however, will prove the one ruling, all-possessing love of his life. Great ambition is shown in his hand, together with diligence and perseverance. Ilis luck will come entirely through his own efforts, and it will not he a mean sort of luck, cither. He has a strong character, great determination, sound judgment, and good business qualities. He is disposed to take life philosophically. Mr. Bartholomew's field of action seems to lie either in the pulpit or upon the lecture platform. Mr. Fisher is inclined to be bashful. This weakness lie will overcome, as the course which he will follow will permit of no such nonsense. It is fairly safe to predict that he will J56 study law. Being' unable to satisfy his ambition in this profession, he will turn to politics. Here he will be greatly aided by his natural diplomacy and keen insight into the affairs of men. Four love affairs are marked, but it is likely that undue modesty will cause him to lose three of these opportunities. Experience, however, will teach him all about “ faint heart ” and “ fair lady,” and in the fourth conquest he will come out victorious. He will live at least to the age of 70, and by the time he is 40 will have made a good-sized mark in the world. Mr. IIknky is cut out for a lawyer. He will probably be the Daniel Webster of his class He has a lucky hand, and one that will handle a great deal of money. He has large mentality, strong will, with tendency to have things his own way. His hand is decidedly of the professional type, and it is likely that he will devote much of his time to intellectual pursuits. He will be greatly impressed with the charms of a number of young women, of whom two will cause him considerable anxiety. He will finally put an end to the difficulty of making a selection—by deciding to remain single—and will spend the remainder of his allotted time of al out 90 years in uninterrupted tranquility. Mr. JOSAT. When about eighteen years of age, a decided change took place in Mr. Josat's life. This led him to alter his plans accordingly. His hand shows that at about 45 he will experience a serious illness Recovering from this he will live to celebrate his 60th birthday. In disposition lie is sensitive, though he succeeds admirably in hiding this. He will be earnest in his undertakings, and will finally reach his ambition by becoming the pastor of a church. He is naturally contented, and will therefore he happy in the knowledge that he has done the very best in his power. He will not trouble the ladies much, for there are few that please him. There will lx; two love affairs in his life, the second resulting in matrimony. Mr. Kauffman has a lucky hand, with decided literary capability. Considerable money is evident, though its attainment will add hut little to his real happiness, as motley is not the chief aim of his existence. He is inclined to be somewhat stubborn, and, being a little hard to understand, will often be misjudged by his associates. lie is possessed of marked individuality. At the age of nineteen or twenty a great change in his life is apparent. It is evident that at this time his life-plans took a new course. A happy marriage, and one which will probably bring considerable money with it, is indicated. Mr. Kauffman will travel but little. He will settle down to matrimonial comforts in a pleasant little parsonage and devote bis time to study. Mr. Kkrn will find that the person who will exert the greatest influence over him will be a woman. When she conics into his life, she will proceed to order his movements, and he will pay heed to her advice. He is possessed of a strong will, a good, even disposition, and, from all appearance, is a man of excellent business ability. His ideas of life are practical. His hand shows exceptionally strong constitution, though his life will likely end suddenly—probably by an accident. However, since he will live at least to the age of 75, this disaster need cause him no discomfort at present. Besides, knowing the danger he can and no doubt will guard against it. Mr. Kern has in him the making of a successful journalist. Mr. KRKBS will live to l e a centenarian. His hands show a refined nature, with taste, love of order, spirituality, and sympathy largely developed. He has a marked distaste for business transactions. With a predominance of characteristics like these, there is but one place for him in this world, and that place is in the pulpit. Early in life there arc indications of a weak constitution. His health, however, will improve with age. He will find it difficult to withstand the a'huemcnts of the fair sex. In spite of an inclination to fickleness, his marriage will be a love match, to which he will always prove steadfast. He will realize his ambition. 157 Mr. Lkntz is the lucky man of the class, lie was born that way. From all indications he will live to he about 104 years old. His hand shows activity in outdoor sports of all kind, though otherwise a love of ease and luxury predominates. He will he a great social favorite, winning many plaudits from the women. A large number of affairs of the heart will deter his choice of a helpmate until late in life. l � ve of approbation is largely developed, as is also the art of diplomacy. At about 50 he will inherit money. After trying numerous professions, he will decide upon teaching, and will occupy a chair in one of America’s leading colleges— probably Ursinus. Mr. Lono will live to be ninety. With him fortune will be capricious, owing largely to his own inclination to fickleness. lie will Ik blessed with excellent health. He is keenly sensitive to the opinions of others in relation to himself. Has some difficulties to overcome. Love of notoriety and ambition to gain celebrity will have a desperate struggle with his naturally easy-going, good-natured disposition. This will cause him to work his way by fits and starts, but in the end lie will accomplish his desire, and die a well-to-do, contented old man. At J5 he will experience an exceptional streak of luck- probably in the way of money. The only love affair of any prominence in his life will end in marriage six months after his graduation. His wife will find him stubborn, yet easily managed. He w ill be a succcessful jwstor. Miss Marki.KY is an idealist. Her hand indicates a strongly artistic temperament, with excellent imagination, Great refinement and intellectuality are also plainly marked. She would excel either in the field of music or of literature. She is fond of all outdoor sports and soeial gaiety; is possessed of great tact, and should her lot be cast in the drawing-room, she would undoubtedly hold supreme sway with any number of suitors. There will probably be two serious love affairs in her life, the second resulting in a happy, ambitious marriage. Her luck is good and she will travel much. She will live to the age of 60. Mr. H. R. MirxER will be noted for his push and energy. There is little luck shown in his hand, but through his own industry lu will succeed in establishing a comfortable place in the world for himself. He will always be a favorite with the op posite sex, though not especially through his own efforts. He will probably be somewhat indifferent to the charms of vvotnan-k:n ! until late in life, when he will succumb to the “ only ” girl, and devote the remainder of his days to making her happy. His sociable disposition and natural ability to talk will probably lead him to choose the ministry as a profession. He will live to be about 70 or 75 years old. Mr II U. Mii.i.er will find oul one trouble in his life of 55 or 60 years, and that will be the ladies. He will be very popular with them, but will suffer more or less anxiety on account of having to disappoint so many. There seems to he an affair of some importance pending now. but the clergyman who is living fat in anticipation of his fee will miss it badly. At 25 lie will marry a lightcomplcxioncd girl, whom lie will at once proceed to “ boss in great style. Although at times somewhat hot-headed, on the w hole his disposition is affectionate and good natured. Great sympathy is shown; also ambition for worldly honors. He will make a successful physician. Miss Moskk’s entire life will be devoted to educational pursuits. During the early part of her career a number of obstacles seem to have arisen, all of which will no doubt help, rather than hinder, her progress in the long run. At 30 an exceptional streak of luck appears, after which a great deal of traveling, including an ocean voyage, is apparent. Her health line is good. She has the qualities of a business woman, but counteracting lines show that she will 158 choose a professional life. I.arge perseverance is present. She has considerable taste, which enables her to appreciate the artistic side of things. She will be favored by fortune in her later life and will live to realize her ambition. Mr. Shrawdhr is the only member of the class who will marry twice. Within a year after graduation he will take to himself a wife, who will make his home an earthly paradise. Such happiness as he will experience is too good to last, and after five years shall have passed, he will find himself a much-sought-after widower, lie will marry again, but alas ! he'll rue it. Luck with Mr. Shrawder will be varied. After trying his hand at numerous pursuits, including teaching, lecturing, and newspaper work, he will finally select a vocation which will bring him great success, lie will live to the age of 75 or 76 years, and with a few exceptions will enjoy excellent health. The Robber « « (With Apoi.ogiks to Edgar Ai.i.kx Poe.) ONCE upon a midnight dreary, while we slept so sound and sweetly, Dreaming many pleasant dreams of glory and praises lately won— While we snored, soundly sleeping, suddenly there came a pounding. As if some one roughly pounding, pounding at our chamber door. Tis some hold robber,” we muttered, “ pounding at our chamber door Only this and nothing more.” All, distinctly 1 remember, it was in the bleak December, And our thoughts were carried to that new suit of clothes upon the door. Vainly we struggled to arise, vainly tried to summon courage, To-us our beds seemed safer, safer beneath the warm covers-But to think the costly suit which so lately had been purchased Hanging there, ah, nevermore. Presently our courage strengthened : hesitating then no longer, Man,” said we, ” or robber, so truly your boldness we deplore ; For the fact is, you were pounding, and so roughly you came pounding. And so cruelly you pounded, pounded on our chamber door. That we could scarcely hear aught else here we opened wide the door : Darkness there, and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long we stood there trembling, doubting, Wondering, fearing fears no mortal ever dared to fear before ; But the hall remained in quiet, and the walls they gave no token, Then we huddled close together as we whispered, “ He can’t he hold !” This we whispered, and an echo murmured back, ” He can’t be lx� ld !’’ ” ’Tis the wind, and we are sold. Back into our chamber turning, both our souls within us burning, Soon again we heard the pounding, pounding louder than before ; Surely,” said we, “ surely there is some one at our chamber door.” Then out upon the midnight air burst forth the peals from the old bell— Open we tried to fling the door, but this to do, ah, nevermore— Twas the fellows, nothing more. 160 A Suffermore’s Soliloquy. Whether ’tis nobler in the class t« suffer The scoffs and sneers of sarcastic Profs. Or to take warning from a previous time And by absenting end them ? To bag,—to flunk. No more ; and by that flunk to say we end The brain-ache and the thousand natural toils That study is heir to ! 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished 1 To bag, to flunk,— To flunk, perchance to be expelled, aye, there’s the rub. For who would bear the w hips and scorns of Zeus, The professor's wrongs, the proud scholar’s contumely. The pangs of dispri ed and unrequited love, When by finesse and a little prevarication Poured soothingly into Professor’s ear, Thy absences are all excused ! « « O bag or not to bag, that is the question: 161 “ Mental Processes.” s t WE will begin the lecture to-day by considering the .association of ideas. By way of explanation we will cite the following example: An assistant of the Harvard Psychological Laboratory, on rising in the morning, attempted to blow out the candle. Whether the assistant had attended a banquet or reception the previous evening, is not known However, on arising in the morning, in daylight, he attempted to blow out his candle. But he had been dreaming, and through the association of ideas he was repeating his dream. The Rev. Sam Jones also tells a good dream story. A friend once came to Mr. Jones, and remarked: “ Indeed. Mr. Jones, I don’t know how it is, but I dreamed about my father last night.” “ Well,” inquired Mr. Jones, “ what did you eat for supper ?” “ Why, I ate half a mince pie.” “Good enough,” replied Mr. Jones. “ Just eat a whole mince pie to-night and you will dream about your graud-daddv.” Now, we all have a taste for poetry I except, of course, a few lazy Seniors). Nobody believes there is any direct connection Ixtwccn physical taste and Greek poetry. It is recorded that a certain famous French poet, after testing some ancient Greek wine, wrote one of the most weird and fascinating Greek dramas. One could fairly see the warriors and hear the rattle of their armor. ( Apparently this explains the case of the man who drank half a keg of beer, and immediately drew a diagram of the whole brewery which was thousands of miles away.) One more illustration is needed to close the lecture. We spoke of a stream of consciousness in a previous lecture. That is, of ideas entering and leaving the conscience. This is illustrated by the Irishmen and the snake. Two Irishmen once killer! a snake, but it continued to move •'due to reflex action i long after having had its head well bruised. “He’s not dead yet,” said Mike. ” Yes,” said Pat, “ lie is dead, only it hasn’t entered his consciousness yet.” Next time read Chapter IN. 1 ft 2 CO-EDS. Huber’s favorite song used to be My Creole Sue. ’ Now it is “ My Ohio Lu.”—SchaJ) Gazette. Miss Lutes says Tiffin is a place of freaks. Ursinus has reason to believe her words are true. What is the difference between a bee and a slender girl? One is a hum-bug, the other is a bum hug. Miss Miles says, Miss Dotterer has no resjtfct for age or upper classmen. What is the price of Shade ? A light head. 163 True Stories in Verse A PAIR to church together went Intent upon the sermon bent; The preacher spoke, with fluent ease. On Pharisees atid Saduoces.

But Ophelias' 1 words lo not suggest the old-time legend of the pansy. According to this legend there lived, long time ago, a king who was the father of two beautiful daughters. Their mother had died when they were small children, and their father, growing tired of his solitary life, decided to marry again. In a neighboring country there happened to reign a widowed queen who also had two daughters as homely and awkward as the king's daughters were beautiful and graceful. The king was soon captivated by the art and diplomacy of the queen, and ere long they were married. The king's daughters found to their dismay that they could no longer enjoy the many privileges which were theirs before their father's marriage. The queen, jealous of their beauty and grace, insisted that they dress in the most sombre colors, while she and her daughters arrayed themselves in gorgeous and splendid gowns. Around the king’s throne there were but five royal chairs. Two of these the queen chose for her own use that she might have room to spread her beautiful robes She gave a chair to each of her own daughters, but told the daughters of the king that since their gowns were so plain, one chair would easily do for both. The beautiful girls bore these injustices without complaint, until one day the queen treated them so contemptuously that they could bear it no longer. They hastened to their father and told him all. The king flew into a rage and vowed that he would banish the queen from his palace. But this was not so easily done, for when the king threatened to exile her. she swore vengeance upon him and forthwith called on the gods to place the king’s feet in boiling water, and to this day he suffers his punishment. Look closely at a pansy and see whether or not my talc l e true. On the top sepal you will find two petals, plain and unadorned, the king's daughters; below them are the beautifully dressed daughters of the queen, while she herself, the most gorgeous of all, is resting on the two remaining sepals. Remove the petals, one by one, and there is the king with his feet in the boiling water, perhaps thinking the thoughts at which Ophelia hints. 170 In Lovers’ Lane. « « THE wind was sighing gently A down old Lovers’ Lane, As side by side we strolled that day, When life and hopes were bright and gay Oli, would that we might always stay In Lovers’ Lane. The birds were chirping drowsily Adown old Lovers' Lane ; Her brown eyes sparkling soft and clear A beacon light to guide and cheer Away from trouble, pain and fear. In Lovers' Lane. The moon was smiling cunningly Adown old Lovers’ Lane ; Her lips a tender rosebud show, -And so I kissed her. None can know My thrill of bliss, but those who go Down Lovers’ Lane. 7' Sacrifice Rewarded. ts ts THERE is good reason to believe that a part, at leas , of the following story will be revealed for the first time to all except those who were immediately concerned with the affair. These favored few. a number of years ago, were gathered one night in a room on the third floor of East College. The owner of the room was Rob Powell, one of the most popular students then in college. I lis popularity was gained largely by his generous and unassuming nature. Powell was not a leader of his class in scholarship, but always maintained an honorable rank, lie was a good student but not a ‘‘grind. Ilis sludiousiiess did not keep him from taking part in all the little diversions which occasionally occur in student-life. On this particular evening Powell and his friends had just returned from attending the literary societies. They were having a jolly good time smoking cigarettes and talking alxuit the roasts in the society papers. That was a good one they got off on Prof. Allen. said Franklin. Yes,” said Rhinehart, but I was sorry that Roslev's sister had to suffer with him. “ Oh, she did not mind that, replied Rosier, as he rolled his second cigarette between bis bands, she took it all as a good joke. After the talk and laughter had continued for some time, one of the fellows said. “ hi t’s go out in the hall and raise a little racket ; tilings have been a little quiet around here for some time. Perhaps we can get Prof. Allen out if we roll a few boxes down the steps.” The fellows quickly took up the proposition. Powell, however, to their surprise manifested a little hesitancy. “ By jabbers, fellows, I don’t believe I can go in with you. You know the president warned me that if I should be caught in another racket I would be suspended, and it is a little too near graduation to be sent home. That’s all right, Powell,” said Rosley.” You have had your share in the rackets around here and now we will take the responsibility upon ourselves. IIow about that, Clinton?’’ “That’s right,” responded Clinton. ‘‘Now you get some water, while we bring some barrels and boxes. The hall began to ring with the crash of boxes and barrels as they went tumbling down the steps. I’ll duck the first fellow that makes his appearance, said Rosley, as he grabbed up Powell s water pitcher. Now, Professor Allen’s room was on the second floor at the foot of the stairs. The crashing of the boxes soon aroused the professor from his midnight slumbers. The fellows were gathered around the stairway on the third floor, when to their great satisfaction the door opened and out sprang the professor. As he was struggling to surmount the pile of boxes, down came a pitcher of water like a cloudburst, drenching the professor to the skin. Then followed a general scramble for rooms. The next moment the only person in the hall was the shivering professor. But the only thing that he captured was a hat which had been lost in the rush. The next day Powell was called before the Faculty. The President said, “Mr. Powell, there was a gross violation of the rules last night in Hast College, and a disgraceful assault on one of the members of the faculty. We have reason to believe that you were connected with the affair. Now we want to know whether you helped to throw those boxes down the steps or whether you threw the water? “ I had nothing to do with either. “ Well, Mr. Powell, your hat was found in the ball immediately after the incident occurred. Did you lose it there? “ I think 1 did.” “ Well, we believe you, and have no punishment for you, providing you tell who the offender was. If you refuse to comply with this request, you will be suspended for four weeks as an accomplice in the offense. 1 will give you until four o'clock this evening to decide.” 172 A four week's suspension would cause Powell to miss his Senior examinations. He also feared his father's rebuke. There was another reason why he was loth to leave the college, although he would not have been willing to admit it. It was this: Rosley’s sister and Powell had been very intimately associated in class, and sometimes out of class. The occasions out of class had become more frequent as the end of their college course drew near. This girl had become more and more the object of Powell's thoughts. It was also believed by some at the Co-ed house, that Miss Rosley was suffering from a dart of Cupid’sarrow. Her Senior dignity, as well as her natural dignity, was sufficient, however, to discourage any attempt to ascertain the secrets of her heart. Her interest in study had only served to raise her in Powell’s estimation. She had always been a favorite of Prof. Allen, and Powell knew that she would be greatly humiliated to learn that her brother had ducked him. He, therefore, for the sake of his class mate, determined to suffer a four weeks’ suspension rather than to allow her brother to be expelled. It required considerable argument on the part of Powell before Rosley and the others would agree to let him go. Finally they were persuaded that it was the better plan. That evening the 4:16 train carried Powell away. It was Commencement Week. Powell had returned a week before and had taken his examinations privately. On Commencement Day he received his diploma with his classmates He would he suspended no more. The excitement of the week was drawing to a close. There remained only the President’s reception and then separation. Powell had made arrangements to take Miss Rosley to the reception. As he walked over to the I.adies’ Hall, mingled feelings of joy and sorrow filled his heart, feelings which only the college student about to bid farewell t his Alma Mater and classmates can appreciate. When he reached the Hall Miss Rosley was waiting for him. She arose to receive him as lie stepped into the long reception-room. Powell noticed something unnatural in her manner What it was he could not explain. She blushed a little and appeared somewhat confused when she spoke. Several times during their walk down the avenue. Powell had endeavored to draw his companion into conversation, hut with little success. As they neared the President’s liouse% Powell said. Miss Koslev, I do believe that you will lake graduate work next year if this devotion which seems to possess you continues. Oh, Mr. Powell, I beg your pardon. I suppose you think that I am very inconsiderate. Hut. indeed, I.— 1 was.—well, everything seems to make me feel sad this evening. When they reached the President's house everyone seemed to be enjoying himself. baler in tile evening Miss Rosley and several-others went out on the porch to enjoy the cooler air. As she was standing In one of the windows, she oveiheard a conversation that was going on inside. 1 was satisfied. the President was saying, that you told us the truth, but I was also satisfied that you had some connection with tlu trick However, 1 thought the persons who were guilty would confess rather than see you go home. He—they would no doubt if 1 would have allowed them to do, so. Oh, is that the way. Well, I think the one for whom you made that sacrifice should esteem you very highly.’’ For some reason this conversation had touched a sympathetic cord in Miss Rosley’s heart. She sought Powell, told him she was feeling a little tired, and was ready to return to the Ilall. This walk back to the Hall was a silent one. When they reached the steps leading up to the Hall, Powell said, Well, Miss Rosley, this is the end of our college days. 73 “ Yes,” she replied, “ we must soon leave the dear old place. How very beautiful and fragrant everything is out here ! Let ns go over to the rocking-chairs under the trees, where we girls have passed so many happy hours.” When they had seated themselves. Powell said, “ Miss Rosley, let us forget that this is our last evening here, and talk of something more cheerful.” ” If cheerfulness could repay you I should trv very hard to be cheerful.” ” Repay me for what ?” answered Powell in surprise. ” You helped me equally as much as I ever helped you in our work here.” ‘ You do not seem to understand me: to Ik plain, my brother told me to-day that you were suspended for the thing he had done, and for my sake you bore his punishment. My appreciation of the sacrifice, I have no words to express. 1 feel an indebtedness which I fear I can never repay. I give you my truest thanks.” She arose as she spoke and extended her hand to him. Then she continued: “I realize how meager is the compensation compared with the sacrifice, and wish that I knew how to reward you better.” A silence followed, then Powell spoke: ” I wish I could choose my own reward.” Looking at him she said, But what more have I to give ?” Then came another pause, and again Powell spoke: “Give me yourself.” He drew her closer to him and gently said, with more earnestness, “This is my choice, what shall the answer he ?” Slowly she raised her beautiful face to his and her eyes gave the answer. 174 Ivy Poem. ♦. ♦. DAMK nature has a voiceless speech, A wisdom sound And more profound Than many human systems teach. Whose eye becomes a listening ear, Whose sense—oft blind— Discerning mind Her mute, yet ceaseless word can hear. The plodding bee that sips the flower For honeyed spoil Doth teach us toil, The sea waves lisp the passing hour, The crimson leaf on Autumn’s tree Presages death, While Springtime's breath Doth herald immortality. The ivy, too, which lone entwines With strong embrace Its desert place, The John the Baptist of the vines. Whose Jordan is the river Time, Doth preach, likewise, To hearing eyes Its constant, hopeful message “ climb.” We thank thee, ivy, for thy word If thou can'st crawl The barren wall And make the stones thee food afford. So can scholastic anchorites Make science feed Their minds and lead Their earth-fed souls to heaven’s delights. Then hearken, heart, and upward haste— Heaven is the goal Of human soul. Oil, leave behind earth’s hopeless waste And make her stonv, fruitless soul. Her sensuous cloys And narrow joys The wall bv which thou readiest God. 175 Pktki, ’oo. Little Leaks. t « ii IF mistakes were haystacks, all poor men could keep cows.'’ Thus ran the old saw. 1 The new version would be, “If the little leaks were all stopped, many poor men would he rich.” Leaks occur on every hand ; they are met with in all walks of life, and are the sources of much discouragement and unhappiness. There are leaks in the parlor, in the dining-room, in the kitchen and in college life : leaks in material, enthusiasm, volition ; leaks in money, words, and time ; but those which cause the greatest trouble arc the leaks of time. The housewife gossiping with her next-door neighbor does not realize that her valuable time is slipping away, until her husband conies home to find dinner unprepared, her children to find their clothes unmeuded. her friends to find her home untidy. Then she tries to repair the leaks by hastily preparing the dinner, by quickly mending her children's clothes, and by hurriedly putting her home in order. Hut, alas, the time and the opportunities which have leaked away are gone forever. Spending her life butter-fly fashion in Hitting from one pleasure to another; in attending parlies, balls, and theatres; in indulging in dinners, suppers, and banquets, the society girl will some day awaken to the fact that she might have used her time to better advantage, but then of course it will be too late to gather up that which has leaked away. In all probability the college student wastes more time than any one else. He does not realize that he is preparing for his life’s work, but seems to l«x k upon the whole thing as a joke. He is bent on having a good time, and heeds not the opportunities for mental improvement that are rapidly leaking away. Nearly every evening he winds up his alarm clock, sets it to go off at an early hour, and goes to bed resolved to rise early the next morning. The faithful clock performs its duty, the student is startled by the noise, he gives a groan, turns over in bed, and is again lost in slumber, awaking only in time to prepare his toilet before the last breakfast bell rings. He makes many resolutions to do better, but his time is still leaking away. Some day when he comes in contact with the cold, hard ways of the world, he will stop to ask himself, “ Why was I s foolish ? ” If all the little leaks were stopj ed, if all the wasted money were saved, if all the opportunities to improve the present time were embraced, men and women would be wiser, wealthier, and happier. i?6 Reminiscences t TO-NIGHT I sit beside the lamplight's glow And muse upon the days of long ago. Of long ago ? Since then ’tis but a year How sluggard present passing days appear ! The flight of time, which seems oft fleet, oft slow. Is like the Perkiomen’s changing flow: The past, the stream lieside the mill so swift; To-day, the laggard dam with plodding, drift. And as the stream no more returns, so when Once passed these years can ne'er be lived again, Save as 1 live them o'er once more to-night Within my heart by memory’s magic sight. 1 see the avenue of poplars tall. The pines, the mighty oaks and prepdom’s hal . The campus and (vile thought, but let it pass) Imaginary signs “ keep off the grass.” 1 hear the summons of the college bell. The sound of scurrying feet I know so well. The Scripture, daily hymn, and morning prayer And sound advice, the same unfailing share. To class 1 go without improper haste, Not loathe the time excusably to waste. iul hope, as prodigals most often dared. To make a recitation unprepared. Tis day, “line up ” and ”striker out ” I hear. The hearty “ U. C. Rah ! ” ami lusty cheer— 'Tis night, the splash of water in the hall And echoed imprecations soaked with gall. I see this round thrice daily spiced with mea's, The chief of all the burdened student’s weals, More dear to him than to the Jew his gold, A richer treat than mines of wealth untold. How sordid seems this image of tm mind. Vet such a picture does the first glance find, A patched composite of each day's routine And not the great events that came between. Though help'ess age shall come with tottenuy limb, With thin and whitening hairs and eyesight dim. Yet this of happy college memories all Shall be the foremost vision I recall. 77 y ’ .’■ •■X I ' ■ .t irj_f }. f Retrospect. ts ts APRIL, 1900. After the first mild harbinger of Spring, April came almost before we realized it. To some this month brought disappointment on account of having been ushered in by all-fool’s day : t others it brought feelings of joy at the prospect of Raster vacation. The one great event, however, which will be remembered by the students, was the Faculty Reception. What a privilege to be ushered before the dignitaries and to undergo the formality of an introduction ! After this ordeal everyone endeavored to have a good time. Some enjoyed themselves In-holding tete-a-tete, while others, owing to the scarcity of ladies, were compelled to seek some remote corner where they looked with envy on more fortunate rivals. These unfortunates, however, at last found comfort in the delicacies of the dining-room. Thus the evening glided away until the hour of ten. The guests, with the exception of a group in the reception-room, departed. This (Mary number seemed to have forgotten the (light of time until the lady of the manor appeared on the scene. Her looks l espoke her thoughts. Conversation ceased; the gentlemen departed. MAY. Perfect days, moonlight nights ! The “ soft green -swarded campus” invites the soul to the pleasures of dolce far niente. All nature is in the happy mood, when, the poet savs. “ Young men’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” In more prosaic words we might say-the time when young men’s footsteps lightly turn to Olevian Hall. There are long walks to Green Hill, quiet talks on the campus Ursinus men and maids in their element. As if life was not already interesting, rehearsing for Ingomar ” adds zest to school life. Wiser words never fell from younger lips, than when Miss Watkins said, '4 There are plays within a play here.” Constant changing of roles from one play to another makes the work exceedingly difficult, not to say interesting. That the original play of “ Ingomar was not neglected was shown conclusively by its rendition during Commencement Week. [Note. The final act in the other plays has not yet been given]. To vary the social life, the Glee Club .entertained its friends by a highly enjoyable concert. Later the members of the club and some friends” made a pleasant pilgrimage to Valley Forge. The month of pleasure ended with gloomy forebodings of the approaching examinations. JUNE. Ah. what a mixture of joy and of sorrow, of pleasure and of pain, the mouth of June always brii gs to the college student ! Examinations, with all their trials and disappointments, were undergone with a grim determination to survive if possible, to ” crib ” if necessary, to perish under no consideration. The majority were landed safely on the shores of success. Some accomplished their end by means of their keen and well-trained intellects, some by the use of midnight oil. while others concentrated their energy along the lines of pulling and kicking. Examinations wette followed by that week of all others, Commencement Week. The Freshman studied about in highest glee. Several of them were heard to ask whether it would be possible for Mr. —to entirely overcome his greenness until the coming fall. Having taken oik- step the previous year, the Sophs took their second with confidence and dignity. But how humiliating it was for the poor Juniors to ob iy the stern command of Zeus to vacate the places of the Seniors in chapel “like gentlemen as if that were possible. The dignified Seniors looked with disdain on the upstarts, and a smile of satisfaction illuminated their faces at the withdrawal of the Juniors. The students proved themselves equal to the many feats of Commencement Week. Perhaps the most noteworthy was the exercise on Class Day when one of “ our boys eclipsed himself on the Spade oration. The festivities closed with the President’s Reception. The last adieus were spoken, and the town settled down to several months of quietude. SEPTEMBER. There is always a touch of sadness in giving up an occupation that is independent of its pleasure, liven the tasks that seemed irksome lake on a certain charm when we do them for the last time. Fortunately, however, the world spins on down the groove of change and we never can come to a full stop. We seldom are allowed to mark time, but must push on. Kvery-ending implies a beginning, and the sorrow of relinquishing is lost in the pleasure of reaching forward. Fortunately, too. the reaching forward in the first month of the college year is mingled with the pleasure of taking up old tasks. The three months of enjoyment leave little regret in the greeting of old friends and the meeting of the new. The V. M. C. A. reception for new students, which forms the first social event of the year, gives peculiar opportunity for this last pleasure. It forms the first general college gathering where the old and the new look kindly at each other, and grasp hands. The reception was voted a great success by all. OCTOBER. “ There is a beautiful spirit breathing now. Its mellow richness on the clustered trees And, from a beaker full of richest dyes, Pouring new glory on the Autumn woods. And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds. Hallowe’en festivities cast all other events of the month of October into the background. Tli- hospitality of the Co-eds was greatly appreciated by the many kindred spirits that assembled in the reception-rooms of Olevian Hall. Did I say kindred spirits? A wayfarer having taken but a glance into the rooms might doubt me, for th-re was Cleopatra smiling graciously at “The big Sioux, Harriet Lane shaking hands with a sturdy farmer. Nevertheless, my statement is true, for later ‘‘ The big Sioux proved himself the famous fabricator of the evening, while the farmer was a no less personage than the village schoolmaster The light from the campfire spread a ghastly pallor on those spirits as they gathered around to listen with breathless interest to many a weird tale. But alas, the clock on the mantel struck twelve and the fire from the camp kettle burst forth in a brilliant flame and then gradually died away. The spell was broken, and ere long the spirits had departed. NOVEMBER. Greatest exhibition of foot-ball enthusiasm ever seen at Ursimis. Echoes of “ Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! Ursinus were heard ringing through the air. day and night. The songs “ What shall we do to F. and M., ’’ “ We’ll make it hot for Haverford. kept reverberating from one end of the campus to the other. Alas ! through an unfortunate mistake made by the referee, giving F. and M. the ball for Ursinus' offside play, the score stood, F. and M. 6 ; Ursinus, o. Though 180 some what downhearted on account of this defeat, we braced up the following week and took revenge on the Delaware College boys by defeating them to the tune of twelve to nothing. Klated over this victory we went to Haverford confident of winning another. Over seventy-five foil twersdf the Red. Old (.old and black accompanied the team to cheer it on to victory The first half ended, Ursinus, 12 ; Haverford. 12. The second half began with both Haverford and rrsinus determined to win. Hard tussles ensued. Cheer after cheer went up from both sides of the field. Spasmodic roars of “Ursinus. “Ursinus,” “ Haverford,” “ Haverford,” kept the air resounding throughout the entire game. Finally, our men gave way from lack of endurance, and the game ended with the score of Haverford, 17; Ursinus, 12. The season closed with a defeat by Conshochocken. With six inexperienced players and no training-table we can congratulate ourselves on the creditable results of the season. Next year we shall do better. DECEMBER. The students to whom the sports of winter had no charm, soothed their “ wintry sleep with dreams of warmer sun and softer rain,” and waited “ 10 hear the sound of streams and songs o merry birds again.” A goodly number, however, joyously swung their skates and often sonic one else’s, too 1 over their shoulders and trudged merrily over the hills to the glassy surface of the Perkiomen. For three successive weeks the merry voices and the ring of the “skater’s iron filled the woodland side and only the approach of the Yule-tide could entice these college girls and boys to other climes. The privilege of giving Ursinus welcome to the new Century fell to the few students who spent their Christinas holidays in Collegeville. The watch meeting was not a dreary one, as one might suppose, for it was held not in the destitute dormitories, but with a jolly party at the home of the President. As the minute hand neared the midnight hour, “ the boys” departed and groped their way to the helfrv, and precisely at 12 o'clock the old college hell rang out the old century, rang in the new. JANUARY, 1901. The merry holidays have passed and a new year, as well as a new century, has begun. The student returns, hut alas ! only in body ; the soul has strayed to the comfort of some lonely heart, saddened by the parting. Gradually the joyful Christmas recollections fade away only to give place to what psychologists term • active attention,” “ concentration ” and co-ordination.” January, although enlivened now and then by a reception ami ilie jingling of sleigh hells, may, on the whole, he regarded as a gloomy and meditative month. The latter part of the month brings wliat is considered the pride and joy of every student—mid-year examinations. These “ perplexities” strike us only twice a year, hut when they do come, woe unto him whose head is not stuffed with knowledge of Philosophy, Rthics, and Psychology. The faculty’s desire for vengeance upon the students having been duly satiated, we all observe the day of prayer a fitting ending of the month. FEBRUARY. This is the month devoted to patriotism and love. As there are never any particular demonstrations of patriotism at Ursinus. we have to conclude that the students’activity is expended in the second phase. There is a certain indefinable charm about the month of all months when Cupid is supposed to have full sway over the youthful hearts in this old world. Usually college life is diversified by festivities in which Dan Cupid has ample opportunity to speed his little arrow Hut thisyear, if his quiver was emptied, it was done largely in private. 181 Of course, there were some social events the Academy students had several parties and the Co-eds were entertained at the President’s house on Valentine night. The latter event must have been highly demoralizing to those present, for it is generally understood that each guest lost her own and found another heart. Whether the hearts have since been returned to the rightful owners is unknown. The crowning feature of the month was the Freshman Declamation Contest, when three young men and two young women won the applause and praise of their admiring friends. MARCH. March, the last month for the chroniclers of The Ruby to record, brings us the first signs of approaching spring. The heavy coats and sweaters are In-ginning to be discarded by the boys, and the dusty bats and rackets are taken from the wall. Outdoor sports put an end to the boisterous noises in the halls, and leave the professors in undisturbed peace. While the ball is easily tossed about on the diamond by some, and long walks indulged in by others, the majority of the Juniors are busily engaged in working on The Ruby.
