Ursinus College - Ruby Yearbook (Collegeville, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 220 of the 1904 volume:

' To HENRY VOLKMAR GUMMERE, A.M., Professor of Mathematics, Physics, and Astronomy, this volume is respectfully dedicated. Hfsg Preface V w ANOTHER year has passed since the last volume of Thk Ruby appeared. Almost before we could realize it, our time came to take up the work for another edition of the college annual, and, while the work was going on, the weeks passed rapidly on, bringing the time when the result of our labors was to be given to the public. We have not attempted to introduce many innovations. Our aim has been to produce something of permanent value, as well as those things which, in the future, will serve to awaken memories of college days. We have endeavored to make the record of interesting events as complete as possible. To all who so kindly aided us, especially to those who contributed of their time and talent, we extend our sincere thanks. Our work is ended, and we send this book forth with the hope that it may fulfill its mission. Henry Volkmar Gummere, A. M. PROFKSSOR HlvNRV VOI.KMAR GUMMKRK, to whom this edition of This Ruby is dedicated, was born in Philadelphia on the 20th of March, 1870. He entered William Penn Charter School when nine years of age, and graduated there in 1885. I11 this year he entered the Sophomore Class at Haver ford College, from which he graduated three years later. The next year he was assistant in the Haverford College Observatory, and received the degree of Master of Arts in June, 1889. During that year he did considerable work in the observatory, accounts of which were published in the Haverford College Studies. Perhaps his most important work of that period was the computation of the orbit of Comet iSSSe. In 1889 Mr. Gummere entered the Graduate School at Harvard University, taking courses in astronomy and mathematics, and received the A. M. degree from that institution in June, 1890. He also spent the years 1890-1891, and 1892-1S93, at Harvard, in the study of mathematics, but was prevented by sickness from remaining during 1891 1892. From 1893-1898 he was assistant in mathematics at Swarthmore, after which he returned to spend another year at Harvard. It was after this excellent training that Professor Gummere came to Ursinus, in the fall of 1899. bringing with him a ripe scholarship and considerable experience in teaching. He was at once placed at the head of the Department of Mathematics and Physics, and results have proved the wisdom of the choice. However, he is not one who rests satisfied with past attainments, but is continually working out new subjects and new methods. Since, he was elected to membership in the American Mathematical Society, in 1894. (then the New York Mathematical Society,) and in 1902, in the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he has taken great interest in their meetings, and has been associated with the foremost scientific men of the country. Naturally then, as an instructor, he does not adhere to antiquated methods, either in subject matter or in presentation of the work. Under his inspiration the dry bones of mathematical knowledge appear to put 011 flesh, and assume life and power. A11 occasional flash of humor often serves to impress a difficult point more firmly in a student’s mind. I11 physics and astronomy, also, his thorough famili- 8 arity with the subject gives his lectures the stamp of authority. Perhaps most important of all is the fact that, although his explanations are clear and elucidating, yet, if students fail to comprehend a subject at once, he is willing to go over the matter, throwing new light on the perplexing question until the pupil can not fail to understand it. But Professor Gutnmere appears at an advantage, not only in the classroom, but also in the social life of the college. Always kind and courteous, he mingles freely with the students and gives advice and encouragement alike. In this matter he has been ably seconded by his wife, {net' Miss Lydia Craft Flagg, of Swarthmore,) to whom lie was married in December. 1899 Mr. and Mrs Gum-mere are charming hosts. As a musician, Mr. Gummerc has taken part in the musical organizations, and as an amateur photographer he lias been an enthusiastic member of the Camera Club, and has been the means of perpetuating many a transient scene about the place. It is due to his kindness that This Rt nv has been able to .set before its readers several of the views contained herein. As a scientist he was largely instrumental in organizing the Audubon Science Club, formerly the Mathematical-Physical Club,) and has since been one of its strongest adherents. Moreover, he has been one of the staunchest supporters of athletics at the institution, having served as chairman of the Athletic Committee. Truly a man of such refinement and courtesy, a professor of so great breadth of culture and such depth of knowledge in his specialized subjects, an instructor of so much ability and patience, such a generous and true friend to every student, a mail who does all in his power for the general interests of the institution, such a man must win, as Professor Gum mere has won, the respect and confidence of all who conic in contact with him or his work. 9 Contents. j The College: Faculty and Instructors.

Ursinus College, 1870-87; Professor of the Greek Language and Literature, 18S7 ; Dean, 1892. The Greek language is unique, distinguished for precision, clearness, completeness, and flexibility, and has no equal as an instrument of human speech. It has a direct bearing of Greek thought on modern life. Greek is the original language of the New Testament. Modern science has constructed its most refined and complicated terminology chiefly from the Greek. The Greek language ought to be profoundly studied for the native excellence of the Greek classics, for the invigorating discipline it affords, for the practical knowledge and mastery of our own native language, and as a preparation for the study of theology.

I .. 1S96 : Licensed, 1S96; Graduate Student in Latin, University of Pennsylvania, 1S97-1901 : Crsiuus College, 1893. Latin is taught not merely for its disciplinary and syntactical value which it gives the student, but to lead him into the higher realms of ait. literature, science, and philosophy, and to show how these arts and sciences affect modern life and civi'i .ation. The course is arranged to give the student a comprehensive and intelligent grasp of the whole field of Latin literature by studying carefully the representative writers of each period, and by noting the influence of these writers upon their own and succeeding ages.

The Modern Language group is designed for thosi students who wish a literary training based upon the modern rather than upon the ancient languages It emphasizes the work in English, French, and German Special attention is paid to conversation in German. For students who are already proficient in French and German courses in Italian Or Spanish are offered. The group thus afford-, special advantages to those who intend to enter the field of literature, or who desire to prepare themselves for specialization in modern languages. 18 J. Lynn Barnard, Ph.

The prescribed work in General History and in Political Economy is designed as an element of general culture, and as a basis for the more intensive courses that follow. These latter—including English and American Constitutional History, Public Finance, comparative study of Representative Governments, and Political Theory are of special importance for the students who arc later to enter law, journalism, teaching, business and the public service. Those who have completed the courses of this department are welcomed to the graduate schools of the various universities. Henry Volkmar Gummkrk, A.

The work of this department is so planned as to prepare the student for advanced work in science, for general science teaching, or for admission to the technical schools. In both mathematics and physics a full year more of work is offered than in the ordinary small college, and the courses in the two subjects are so co-ordinated that each supplements and aids the other, and the student is enabled to obtain a comprehensive view of the entire field. 19 John Raymond Muri.ix, A.

In the preparation for the medical profession the courses in Chemistiy and Biology are prescribed in order to introduce the student to the more strictly practical work of materia med-ica, therapeutics, surgery, etc. If the student's objective be teaching, and his preference or adaptability lead him into these branches, lie receives modern training in laboratory methods as well as in the facts and theories of the sciences. The aim, in short, is to lay a broad foundation in these departments of natural science. Rev. Ai.kxanider w. Crawford, M. A.. Ph. I).. P ofessor of Philosophy and Psychology. B.

D , 1902 ; Ursinus College, 1902 ; Member of the American Philosophical Association. The courses in Philosophy and Psychology endeavor to give the student a rationalized account of the self and its various experiences. Psychology gives an insight into mental processes; the history of Philosophy shows the continuity and development of thought from the beginning to the present time; while logic, ethi-s, and aesthetics give a systematic view of the activities of the self. Finally, metaphysics, leading up to the philosophy of religion, gives a comprehensive view of the self in its widest relations to the world and to God. The design throughout is to show the essential nature of man, and his place in the world. 20 —---— -----77------- Ikvillk Charles Le Compte, A. B., Professor of the English Language and Literature.

During the first two years the emphasis is upon the former aim. The work of the third and fourth 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 lx-st that has been thought and said. George Leslie Omwakk, A. M., B. I)., Lee hurt on Education. A. B., Ursinus College, 1898, and A. M., 1901 ; B. D , Yale University, 1901 ; Licensed 1901 ; Ursinus College, 1901. The courses in Education have been established to meet an actual need. College-trained teachers are in demand everywhere for the higher positions in public education. In consequence, men and women are coining into the college with a view to making education their life work. The courses in Education arc designed to afford such professional training as will lit for positions of leadership in the field of education. These courses are open to third and fourth year students in all the groups. 21 C. Ernijst Djkchant, a. h , Principal of the Acad- my and Instructor in Mathematics. A. lb.

The work of tli • Academy includes courses in the ancient and modern languages, mathematics. sciences, penmanship, and drawing; bookkeeping, stenography, and typewriting; music and art. This department aims to prepare students for any of the colleges or technical schools, and to furnish a broad and thorough foundation for good citizenship. The plan of organization includes some original features. The subject is made the basis of grading, each being independent of others so far as the content will permit, while the students’ interests arc not sacrificed to preserve a system of Organization. An organized system of tutoring aids and encourages the backward student, and inspires bis highest efforts. By a combination of the individual and the class system students are advanced in each subject as rapidly as is consistent with thoroughness.

The aim in this department is to do away with fatal, artificial and mechanical forms, i. e., taught tones, inflections, and gestures; to encourage students to put their own knowledge, experience, sympathy, imagination, and personality into the work, and to let the expression of voice, and action, lie the spontaneous outcome of the emotions aroused within themselves by the written thoughts of others, or by their own original thought. 22 JL'I.IA THERESA WILSON, Director of Department of Music and Instructor it: Piano. Student, Broad Street Conservatory, Philadelphia, 1897-1901 ; Graduate, 1901 ; Instructor, Broad Street Conservatory 1899-1900; Ursimis College, 1900. The Department of Music affords superior advantages for the study of music in all its branches. Miss Wilson is the instructor in piano, grand organ, and theory, while Miss McCain instructs in violin, voice, and mandolin. An extensive course of study has been prepared, after an exhaustive examination of the comparative merits of the best systems employed in this country and abroad. It is not the aim merely to give the students a showy repertoire, but to make them true musicians. This must be achieved by thorough technical training and theoretical work To become broadly educated musically one must be well versed in harmony and theory, and be conversant with the history of music. To this end special instruction is given in these branches.

Four short chapters form the written history ; facts are stated ; events are described ; changes are explained ; but the real significance of these years is scarcely suggested. Yet it must be so. In the process of growth, each man feels and recognizes his own development. His memories of college days are largely a recollection of his own inner changes. A history, then, of that collective, abstract somewhat—the Class—necessarily drops this most significant element of college experience, the personal record, and gives a few formal statistics, glowing with that indefinable something, called class spirit. Each man’s personality, however, finds a setting in his Class. There arises Class individuality- not a mere aggregate of the personalities of the members, but a mysterious blending of each man's subtle influence into one harmonious unity. To trace the development of this Class individuality, to find the marks which distinguish 1903 from her comrade Classes—this is the historian’s task. The unique institution, which has concentrated and heightened the intangible class spirit, always maintained by former scribes as the leading characteristic of 1903, is Senior Hall. Here are no loud boasts ; no noisy disputes ; no meaningless uproars ; but a calm air of meditation, an intensive thought atmosphere, a spirit of good-fellowship. And yet monotonous unity does not pervade Senior life ; but rather is there a rich harmony in the various types of minds and ideals commingled. The exclusive element, the steady, conservative policy of the G. P. R. Company ; the broad-minded party ; the liberal wing—all help to preserve a true balance. Weekly phonograph conceits afford relaxation. Games of chess, and ping-pong tournaments are happy diversions. Moreover a cordial hospitality keeps the outside world in close contact. 1903 has thus intensified her individuality in the last stage of her development. The bonds of comradeship have been strongly welded ; and only when they fall will the spell be broken. For each one who has come under its charm a subtle inspiration will be left to buoy him up among the activities of the world. Historian. 27 SENIOR POEM. . ,4 FOUR rounds the wheel of time has turned Since two-score youthful minds discerned They had not all for which they yearned Since then, nigh half, a name have earned In other spheres. A band remains who braved the fight, Who kept the motto, reached the height, And gained some knowledge, truth, and right, Of ancient seers. Now as the strife is almost o’er. We realize, as ne’er before. The worth of all this college lore. Hut steady effort made us more Thau books and shelves. As Freshmen there was common aim. Now all confess we’re not the same, Diverse ideals of life laid claim To changing selves. Twas ours to share Ursinus’ life With growth and true endeavor rife. Athletic frays have taught us strife. Social joys have wrought their life, Within our own. Thus, pow’r and knowledge make us strong, And lives of noble men shall long Firm courage and true worth prolong, For work not done. But now. alas ! we needs must part. With keener mind and buoyant heart Dare “ Boulez t'ti avanl, and start To turn rough life into an art By nature fmc. May mem’ries of our college days Lead us through high and lofty ways. May high ideals give us a gaze, Of life divine. 28 The Seniors. When shall their glory fade. v .

Ursinus, Ursinus. 1904. Junior History. j „• TIME passes so rapidly that we hardly know what our history is until we stop to think of it. But history has been forming, and we have left traces of our lives at Vrsinus which can not be effaced. Our relations with our fellow students, our connections with the institution, our attitudes toward life, have, probably without special notice of our own, assumed certain fixed channels. One year more within these classic halls, and we must go out into practical life—our careers are already determined. What is our history ? Ts it worthy or unworthy of a student? We tremble to trace it, lest we find that we have not used our opportunities to the best advantage. Our Class was small from the first. The number even grew less until last fall, when two new members were received, whom we gladly welcomed. Of course our number prevented us from competing efficiently with other Classes in “ tugs of war,” but fortunately our ideal of life was not placed on such a basis. We could be beaten in a rush, but could not be discouraged ; we could refuse a challenge, and still have the same loyal college spirit. Our ideal was above physical supremacy : it was based on ‘ ‘ vivc ad sum mum. Wc have not, however, despised the importance of physical culture. We realize that intellectual development without physical strength is imperfect and unseemly. Athletics have found among us worthy representatives. The quarterback of the foot ball team of 1902, and the captain of the ladies’ basket-ball team are members of our Class. We claim to have a loyal interest in all athletics, but not to such an extent that our mental training suffers. In looking at the Class from other points of view we have reasons for considering ourselves all around students. The Audubon Science Club and Monday Night Club have found no lack of interest on our part ; the Literary Societies share our membership equally ; and the V. M. C. A. claims every man as a member. Music and oratory find us not barren, and in short all college work receives from us due attention. Fellow classmates, our history is not brilliant with many deeds of physical valor, and the romantic aspect of college tricks, but it does shed some lustre through its records of noble manhood and earnest lives. Our history is not marred by traces of demeanor which will in after years reflect discredit to our characters. But let us not become puffed up, let us see ourselves in the true light. Our rank among men is ordinary, but the world has a place for us, and only we, ourselves, can fill it. Let us be serious, let us do our best to fill the place to which destiny has called us. JUNIOR POEM. v LIVE for the highest, the noblest and best, Is the motto of those who in life shall be blest, Of those who, working with strength and with zeal. Perform the duties which life does reveal. ’Tis the highest which always ennobles the life, In strenuous work, in soul-stirring strife, The men who succeed, and honor attain. Are those who live for that which they gain. Things that are highest will ever endure, Give jov that is true, a reward that is sure. When enemies assail and troubles appear, ’Tis the highest alone that takes away fear. Tis the highest alone that can ever bring peace, When the toils and struggles of life shall cease. When the thoughts in a last final effort are bent, On viewing the deeds of the years that are spent. Then live for the highest, the noblest, the best, The motto that brings us true joy and sweet rest, And when the end of our days shall come, We’ll receive with gladness the message “ Well done ! 35 Oscak Davis Brown back. He wears a most serious face. Well worthy a martyr's possessing ; But ii isn't all owing to grace. But i ;utly to thinking and guessing. Be not afraid timid reader, this man can do you no harm. It is only “Brownie ’ His name is heard oftener than any other around college. Whether or not he is a Jew is an open question. If he was not born such, he has become one since. This we think accounts for his success as manager of the Ursinus Book Room. Mr. Brownback was born at Parkerford, Chester Co., Pa. The rudiments of his education he received in a little school house near that place. After spending a term at the West Chester Normal School he held the position of pedagogue for two years. After this he came to Ursinus Academy where he prepared for college. His tendency to make good bargains has made him Business Manager of the 1904 Ruby. I11 his Class he stands first (alphabetically). He is a great student of nature, a fine artist, and a great asker of questions, which often puzzle the “ Doctors.'’ In Creek recitations, he is one of the few who have the courage to sit perfectly quiet for the whole period. The prophet tells us that he is destined to join the forlorn Order of Celibates. We would add with all seriousness, that he is earnest, studious, talented, sober-minded, loves to do what is right, is beloved by all, and will become a minister. : 6 Alma Julia Clamkr. Her voice was ever soft. Gentle and low nil excellent thing in woman. The subject of this sketch was born in the “ City of Brotherly Love.” A few years ago she came to Collegeville, where she lives within sight of Boniberger Memorial Hall, and hence college life is second nature to her. This fact is well illustrated by her active participation in all its various phases. She entered Ursinus by the way of the Academy, and is one of the two original young ladies who have graced our ranks with their charming presence, and have formed such a deep and lasting bond of friendship for each other. She has always taken an active part in Class affairs, is a member of the Zwinglian Society, and has entered zealously into its work. She recites well and received Honorable Mention in the Zwinglian Freshman Declamation Contest. She was captain of the second basketball team, and is constantly taking an active part in the musical, literary and social affairs of the college. Though a modest, unassuming little girl, her smiles have played havoc among the other sex, and many have been the efforts made to “ claim her.” Her favors have, however, with little exception, been given to all alike, the exception being a decided tendency toward the Class of 1905. What her future is to be seems entirely undecided. Our repeated appeals to the oracle have failed to receive any response in regard to this point. 37 Raymond Gettbi. He lias 1 know nut what tf greatness in his looks and of high fate That almost awes me. This fine specimen of humanity hails from Shippensburg, in the beautiful Cumberland Valley. Karly in life his wonderful propensity for learning became apparent, and he was consequently sent to the Shippensburg Normal, from which he was graduated. After several more years spent in study and teaching he came to Ursinus to join the Class of 1904. Mr. Gettel is a staunch Republican, and, judging from the way he imbibes politics, he aims at the presidency or a political career. He takes much pleasure in instilling some learning into the preps, who regard him as a “ walking encyclopaedia.” The ease with which he gets his work accomplished affords him considerable time to indulge in his favorite pastimes of reading and jollying Brownback, as well as strolling through ancient graveyards looking up forgotten lore. He is possessed of great bodily strength, and takes an active part in Athletics. He very ably filled the position of quarter-back on the famous 1902 foot-ball team. His motto is “live, labor, love, ’ and he tries to live up to the last part of it to such an extent that it is hard to see when he finds time to think of the remainder. Ilis visits across the campus are many and not far between. But space forbids us to say more of his accomplishments, suffice it to say that he is a remarkable young man, and will no doubt make a name for himself. 3« II.-VRVIiV Staui i kk GoTTSHAU.. All thoughts, all passions, all delights. Whatever stirx this mortal frame. All arc but ministers of I.ove, And feed his sacred flame.' Mr. Gottshall, whose ancestors came from Holland and Switzerland, was born in Schwenksville, Pa. lie came to Ursinus a jolly good fellow, reared under the wholesome influence of rural life. In connection with his preparatory course at Perkiometi Seminary, he improved his spare moments in doing assistant pastoral work, and while at Ursinus he has continued to preach occasionally in the New Memionite Church. Prom this fact otic might suppose him to be serious and sedate, but this is not true for he is always ready to laugh and make others laugh. In short, he has all the characteristics of a Pennsylvania German. Ilis greatest pleasure, as lie himself says, is to be in company with the fair sex. We have no doubt of this inclination, for Monday usually finds him absent from classes, and engaged in his favorite pastime, “ sleep.” lie is well disposed toward all college work with the exception of T gic. He reveals his aversion to this science by “ the dickens with it.” Milton is his favorite author, because the poet’s profound thought gives much food for meditation. His motto is, “ there is always room at the top.” He is a member of the Scliaff society. His future intention is the ministry, and we feel sure that he will be a man in keeping with his work. 39 John Ezra Hoyt. Most of the eminent men have been diminutive in stature.” Mr. Hoyt was born in the Wolverine State, just one year too early to miss the census. His ancestors came from the Garden of Eden via the Valley of the Rhine. In Hammonton High School and the second floor front of his boarding house his preparation for College was completed, and from the sands of New Jersey he found his way to Ursinus. Hoyt is a Rooseveltian, and tries to live up to his motto, “ Do others all you can and never get done yourself.” When he is not twirling his mustache he is either calling down the Academy kids, or trying to jolly the co-eds. There never was so busy a man as he, for. besides conscientious work for A’s, many other things have claimed the attention of his active mind. He takes an active part in all the various phases of college life. His social life is also by no means neglected. It is not an unusual sight to see Mr. Hoyt engaged contrary to rules, in conversation with a co-ed in the library. A mere look at the photos over his desk would make any one doubt his statement that his future intention is ” to do most anything except to get married.” 40 Elizabeth Caulndkr Miles. • Devoted, anxious, generous, void of guile. And with her whole heart's welcome in her smile.'' After a year’s absence from school, which was spent in recruiting her health, Miss Miles returned to college in September, 1902. and became a member of the Junior Class. Although her sympathies naturally lie with the Class of 1903, she has taken an active part in the affairs of 1904. Miss Miles has inherited considerable dramatic ability. She has appeared on different occasions, and has won the applause of her auditors. Her talent in this line enabled her to win the rare honor of taking the first prize in the Ladies' Elocutionary Contest at the Pennsylvania Chautauqua, Mt Gretna, Pa. She is a member of the Schaff Society but her Health has not allowed her to take an active part in its work the past year. During her Sophomore year she was a member of the basket-ball team and also helped to swell the Chaminade Chorus. She is taking the Historical-Political Course and takes great delight in giving learned and involved talks on politics and economical problems, as well as in asking profound questions on these subjects. She has an emotional nature and her experiences of the heart would no doubt make an interesting volume. Her future is uncertain. It is likely, however, that she will either go on the stage, teach, or else do something more congenial to her nature. 41 Edwin Mii.ton Sando. lie is complete in iV.itnre and in mind, With all good grace to grace a gentleman. The Editor of the Ruby is a very serious young man, prematurely grave and stern. This results from long experience in taming unruly “ Preps” and addressing Y. M. C. A. meetings. He was horn several years ago near Meckville, Berks County, Pa., and comes from good old German stock. He arrived at Ursinus by way of a select school at Annvillc, and the Shippensburg Normal, and has taught for several years in the public schools of the State. Milton is his favorite author, and he perpetuates both his name and his puritanical severity. Sando expects to enter the ministry and finds his favorite employment in discussing with Gottshall the benefits of Greek. His residence among the kidlets ” has given him excellent opportunity for valuable missionary work, and we expect him to be a successful minister, courageous in reform and unswerving in principle. 42 Mary Emma Shade. Ilf 'S a fool who thinks by itown or force To turn the current of this nu.iden s course. The last member of this illustrious Class first saw the light of day in the attractive borough of Royersford. According to her own statement, the authenticity of which is of course unquestionable, this momentous event took place upon the 29th day of February some few years ago, and had she not been carefully nurtured under the “shades” of the dear old Vaterland, her infantile tnind would never have withstood the strain of her remarkable early scholastic attainments. She is a rollicking, jolly, precocious, shadowy (?) infant. Economics has been to her the subject par excellence; its inti icacies, from the introduction to “ Price,” she has thoroughly mastered. So deep has been her devotion to this all-absorbing subject that neither logic nor literature ever intrude upon the happy hours spent in rapt contemplation thereof. Consequently many of her ideas are “ without form and void.” Her extreme youth often asserts itself, and she spends many happy hours in playing leap frog and in sliding down the banisters at Olcvian. These frolicsome moods, varied with her profound economic meditations, make up the course of her existence. So worthy a subject invites a longer biography but we conclude with her favorite expression. “Golly gee, I’ll be sniggered,” and hope her life may be blessed like the last chapter in a fairy story—“They lived happy ever after.” 43 Ex-Members of 1904.

So I will generalize, and touch only those points which seem to distinguish us from other Classes. We have done everything in our power to uphold college traditions, and used every opportunity to promote class spirit. Toward our underclassmen, the Freshmen, we have acted as a kind parent toward a child. We fully realized the responsibility that rested upon us as their advisers, and tried to sustain it. We may have seemed harsh in some cases but all that we did, we did for their own good. As it always pains a father to chastise his son, so it pained us to chastise the Freshmen ; but it was our duty as upperclassmen. We got out the usual rules, and enforced them. Two of the most grave infringments of these rules were the painting of Olevian Hall and the painting of their numerals on the grand stand. We cooled their ardor in the first case by making use of the water cure, and they then willingly washed off their own color In the second offence we captured them and took them bodily out to the scene of their misdeeds, and soon convinced them of their folly. After the second affair they gave up their futile attempts at class spirit, and have carried out to the letter the rules which we deemed it wise to enforce. On the athletic side of college life, 1905 seems to have her strongest hold. As a Class we have always taken an active part in athletics. It must be admitted also that we have more first team men, in both branches of athletics, than any other Class in college. Our base-ball team of last year held the championship, and our foot ball team of this year was so formidable that it so completely scared the Freshmen that they put no team against it. We also have men skilled in tennis, men skilled in all forms of field athletics, and, finally, men who have won distinction on the chess board. The one thing that has done most to put the Class of 1905 in the front, in athletics, class spirit, scholarship, and, indeed, all forms of college life, is her incessant activity. It has been said: “They never sleep.” If anything noteworthy happens around the college, it is at once accredited to the Class of 1905. We are strong advocates of the strenuous life, and shall always try to maintain our individuality as a Class. 47 SOPHOMORE POEM. ■ , WHO art- they? the Class of Nineteen five? Are they the ones that keep alive The things, that keep apace the wrong And lend a help to weak and strong? Just list a moment while I tell A story, which you all know well. 1 was on the diamond battlefield, Where with strong arm the bat they wield To win the glory and bring the gain That might increase the college fame, And did as heroes did before, Played they, the sturdy Sophomore. Again they’re clad in moleskin tough, And though the play is hard and rough, They plough and plunge with might and main. Still adding to tin College’s gain— The scene is shifted, and we see Them still, in silent reverie, And lasting far into the night. They search their books with all their might. And yet through all the trials of the year And whisperings foul from ear to ear, They stood them all, and bravely bore The test—the sturdy Sophomore. Oh yes. although they’re gay and free, I'm sure with me you’ll all agree, There’re two sides to this jolly Class And when from boys to men they’ll pass. And take their stations in another sphere, They’ll reap reward for being here. 48 The Sophomores. For fools rush in, where angels fear to tread v ■ J Robert Fleming Butz, ......

V v Jt COMMENCEMENT week over, the Class of 1902 gone from the institution forever, the thoughts of all turned from the departing to the coming, from the old Senior Class to the new Freshman. A new factor was coming into college life, a new force. Of what would it he composed, what influence would it exert? The nucleus of that Class was already formed ; the “ fittest few,” who had survived the toil and strife of academy days, were here waiting to welcome the newcomers. Throughout the long, hot summer days, vague rumors floated in the air, of the brain and brawn which, at the beginning of the new term, would come together in the honored name of 1906. Meanwhile, the long expected day was slowly but surely approaching. September 17th ushered to the halls of Ursinus nineteen sturdy Freshmen. From all parts of the old Keystone State they came ; even Maryland lent one note to add to the general ‘1 Harmony.” Some were green, and some were already “ in the sere and yellow leaf” of their experiences at Ursinus, but they were all there. Strife between Classes? Well, yes, there was some. The still watches of the night were often broken by ominous growlings from the ‘‘ Dog-House ;” then dark figures would emerge, and fierce conflicts would follow “ by the light, by the light, by the light of the moon.” There was some trouble about a moustache, too, and one day the entire Sophomore Class was “entertained” in Trappe. For some months all had been “ Quiet along the Potomac,” when one day there was excitement among the pickets. The aides of “Colonel” Foltz were sent hurrying hither and yon on secret and important errands. Spies from the Sophomores dogged stealthily the footsteps of scouts from the Freshmen. In the afternoon Privates Smith and Wise wandered off to take snap-shots. As night came on, dark figures flitted about the campus, or dodged swiftly through the glare of the street-lamps. Some were clad in silk and fine attire ; some slouched along in sweaters, but these carried suit-eases. When the seven o’clock trolley reached Pottstown, the forerunners were there to meet and welcome the remaining members of ” The I.oyal.” To the wild music of tambours and tom-toms, was the triumphal party joyfully escorted to the banquet hall, and here for hours King Revelry did reign, while the weird music sank to a monotonous monotone, and gradually died away. The deadly calm of midnight was broken in upon by hoarse voices : Rippy, Rippy, Razoo, Razoo, Rix, Ursinus, Ursinus, Nineteen six. Historian. Class of 1906 Hartman. F'etterolf. Schvveyer. Farmger.

It is no easy task for me to say whether I write these words with pleasure or regret. Mow well I remember my first day’s experience at Ursinus Academy. After dinner, about eight or ten fellows came to my room. They seemed to have some purpose in view, for they were all the time talking to each other in a whisper. At last the fatal moment came ; they all sprang upon me and threw me around the room as though I was made of rubber ; they even tore up the bed and scattered things over the floor. This accomplished, they told me that I was now a full-fledged student of the school. Trouble had only begun. Suddenly there came a gentle tap on the door. All of us looked frightened when we saw “His Highness” standing before us. He quietly led us all to Room 'No. 5 (a place well known to every Academy student), and delivered a fine lecture. The lecture, however, was only appreciated by the Proctors. He finally dismissed us with these words : 1 hope this is the last time I’ll have to say anything to you in regard to conduct.” The following evening it seemed as though each student was trying to surpass the other in disobeying rules. Honors were about equally divided between C--, “the Boston boy,” “ Shylock the jockey,” and “ Rusty” and A---, “ the Lebanon brewers.” As a result we again heard a rousing speech for good conduct in Room No. 5. Shortly after school opened, an organization known as the “ Flickers” was formed. Their motto was “ I)o the Principal before he does you,” and the following were'members : “ Rusty, the Chef,” “ Loui, the President,” “ Tite, the janitor.” and “M-----, the Treasurer.” The club had midnight feasts on Mon- day, Wednesday, and Saturday evening from 12 to 2. The songs “ I11 the good old foot-ball time,” and “ Play ball Ursinus,” were no longer heard on the athletic field. In their place came the tricks. Every afternoon the students would gather in one of the rooms and have a few boxing bouts. The length of the rounds depended on the quickness of the Proctor. Two fellows would just be in the midst of a lively scrap when the famous knock on the door would again be heard. In a few minutes everything was settled and all went quietly to their rooms. The third floor was known as the “speedway.” Here “Shylock” and “ Kid” exercised their “ ponies.” “ Kid” seemed to have the most experience, because his “ Virgil and Geometry ponies” could go a lesson in less than thirty minutes. In the final heat near examinations “ Shylocx” however won the race “ by a neck. ” He went out every clay on horseback, and was determined “ to do or die in the attempt.” Some students wished to go down town some evenings. Rules however would not permit. In such cases tlie Proctor was the one to suffer. 62 He gave the fellows permission to take a bath. Instead they went down town and brought back eatables. One of the Academy commandments reads thus—thou shalt not smoke. I had a desire to break the rule, so I lit my pipe, sat down in an easy chair and enjoyed it immensely. I was just in a comfortable position when I heard the footsteps of the Principal. My position can be imagined. I threw the pipe into the waste-basket and got into the closet. I locked the closet-door securely after I was safely packed behind my clothes. Much to my surprise the Principal did not wish to see me. I tried to get out, but alas, I couldn’t—the door was locked. I was kept in the closet for two hours till my chum finally came to my rescue. Although life in prepdom furnishes many opportunities for good times and experiences like those spoken of, yet one is not sorry that the days of Academy life are over. R. E. M., ’o6. Life in Prepdom —Present ■ v IT is a fine thing to be a prep.” He needs no experience, but needs practice to be a good one. The disadvantage of being a prep is. that it does not last long enough—it is soon over. As soon as he gets used to being one of the “ boys,” he has something else to do, and not half so much fun. But, he is glad to get out of prepdom when the time comes, and rid himself of the many and rigid restrictions. The prep, of course, has his daily routine of work, but “ bagging” classes, loafing, and working ” Ilis Highness” for excuses are no uncommon occurrences. In the evening, when the bell rings, he is confined to his room for two long, weary hours. He doesn’t know exactly what to do; he grapples doggedly with geometry, “cribs” a few algebra problems, and takes a ride on his steed, preparatory to loaning it to some other fellow. lie reads his English as though he had to get it out of his way before recess, but not with the zest with which “ he would dig a woodchuck out of a tree, or set fire to it.” If he had his way, he would do nothing in a hurry. He likes to stop and think about things, and enjoy his work as he goes along. But at recess ! He is like a deer. He rushes out of his room and throws himself into fun with entire forgetfulness, and with an energy that would overturn the world if his strength were in proportion to it. For fifteen minutes the world is absolutely his ; restraint is removed, and he is his own master for that short time. All the fellows usually assemble in one room, and if there is something to eat, it is quickly devoured, and almost in a moment two of them are on the bed, 63 having a “ row” to settle differences. The spectators enjoy the fun and clap their hands for joy and shout, “ Oct there, Rusty.” The proctor raps, and all is hushed and quiet as night. But the business side which recess affords must not be overlooked. it is well known to all the preps that there are several livery stables on the third floor. The best known is stable No. 21. Only first-class horses are kept ; among these are Caesar and Cicero, guaranteed to trot a chapter in fifteen minutes. Among the secondary stables are those kept by “Foxy,” “ Gus,” “Tom,” and “Rusty's” old reliable. Prepdom is the scene of many strange doings. Some are known to the “ dangerous and vigilant element ;” but are all known ? The most noted are the midnight “ feeds” in which all the fellows who have contributed something can share. Oysters, apples, and watermelons are eaten with relish. Fenton’s potted beef is enjoyed very much with the steward’s crackers. Such occasions are, however, made more interesting when the boys hear some one gently “rapping, rapping at the chamber door,” after which an uninvited guest appears. The next day they find their dessert in Room 5, and after humbly hearing the paternal words of the father, they all promise to be good little boys. “ Ducking” is also very common, even to such an extent that several window panes are charged up against the Academy Water Company. The prep is, however, not found in the rear in athletics. Whenever there is a game of foot-ball or base-ball, the prep’s voice is heard above all others, and the hills and dales echo and re-echo with his yells. In a celebration he is the hardest worker, and the one who perspires most ; he is the one who makes the parade and gives life to it. It is the prep who has helped to make the traditions of Ursinus College, and he will, no doubt, continue to do so. Long live the preps ! T. A. A., A.,’03. 64 Academy Students. .

THE Charter of Ursinus College conferred upon the Board of Directors, under whose care and management the institution is conducted, “ power to establish from time tc time, in said College, such departments of study and instruction as they may deem expedient.” In accordance with this authority the directors, at a meeting held June i, 1871, adopted the following: Whereas, Ursinus College has been founded for the purpose of serving the 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 ; Resolved That a Theological course of study be provided in addition to the prescribed Academical and Collegiate course, to go into effect with the opening of the Fall Term of the next Academic year. The Rev. Dr. Bomberger, President of the College, Rev. Abraham Hun-sicker, founder of Freeland Seminary (the predecessor of Ursinus College) and of Trinity Church, Collegeville, and Rev. Jacob Dahlman, Jr., members of the board, were appointed to draw up a course of study for the department. The instruction was entrusted to three members of the college faculty. FACULTY.

The Theological Department was formally opened for the admission of students September 4th, 1871. Two young men who had studied theology privately during the preceding year, under the direction of President Bomberger, were enrolled as Seniors in the department, completing the course in June, 1872. Four other students entered as Juniors, who, together with a fifth man, admitted in September, 1872, were graduated as the second class in 1873. The complete record ol graduates of the school is as follows : 1S72— 2 1S7S- 4 1885— 1 1-892- 3 1898— S 1873— 5 .379- 3 1S86- 5 893— 5 |S99— 4 1874— 2 1881— 2 1887- 5 1894— 8 1900— 5 IS75— 1 1882— 1 1S8S- 5 1895 3 1901— 7 1876 6 1883- 1 1889— 9 1896— 6 1902—13 1877 .� 1884— 1 189a— 4 1891— 7 1897— 3 •9°3—10 Total number of graduates, 171. ECCLESIASTICAL STATUS. Ursinus College was founded by ministers and members of the Reformed Church in the United States. Its Constitution requires that three-fourths of its directors be members of this denomination. Its name, Ursinus, was that of a theologian of the Sixteenth Century who was the principal author of the Heidelberg Catechism, the confession of faith of the church. Its professors are ministers of the Reformed Church, and the theology taught in the school is that of this church. An action of the general synod of the church, held at Cincinnati, Ohio, November 27, 1872, gives official sanction to the theological instruction of the school. LOCATION. The instruction of the School of Theology was carried forward in the halls of Ursinus College, at Collegeville, from the time of its organization till 1898. when the school was removed to the City of Philadelphia. Its temporary home was in a rented house at 3252 Chestnut Street. Here it remained one year, when two 73 adjoining houses were purchased at the corner of Thirty-third and Chestnut Streets for its permanent home. The location is within one square of the University of Pennsylvania, whose extensive library is open to the students of the school, and only two squares from the plot of ground to be occupied by the great oriental museum of the University. The University also offers courses in philosophy, history, sociology, Hebrew, and Greek, of especial value to theological students. In addition to the direct educational advantages of its location near the University of Pennsylvania, the students of the Ursinus School of Theology enjoy the privilege of hearing the best preachers of the world, as they appear from time to time in Philadelphia pulpits, of attending public lectures, visiting art galleries and museums, and of engaging in active missionary work. By a system similar to the apprentice system of the trades a student may associate himself with a church as an active worker, receive compensation for the same, and become familiar with the method of organizing and conducting modern church work. 74 Students in Theology.

Quarterback of the 1902 Foot-Ball Team The Foot-Ball Team of 1902 .jX , IN response to the kind invitation extended by the Editor of the Ruby to give my views of the 1902 football team, I shall consider: first, the record and position of the 1902 team in Ursinus athletic history ; second, the characteristics of the team ; and third, the results of the season. The record of this foot-ball team is, indeed, a glorious ouc. Comparing it with college teams prior to the season of ’98 is like comparing a powerful , mobile, organized, and disciplined force to a vast, disorganized, and unwieldy mob. The ’98 team made a remarkable record—a record, however, inferior to the enviable one of the past year. Nine consecutive victories without a defeat establishes a record without parallel and precedent in the history of athletics at Ursinus College. With this record before our minds let us attempt to establish the causes that produced such a result ; for such effects, I apprehend, are not haphazard, but pursuant to the laws of logical necessity. College foot ball history reveals that successful teams have embodied within themselves certain characteristics—physical, mental, and moral. Taking our own squad as a type of the successful team we find that the men were well balanced physically ; combining elements of great defensive power, with elements of a swift and powerful offense. To resist the attack of an opponent we had great weight and strength in the line ; to assume the offensive, agility, force, and speed. Likewise, a matter of great pride was the degree of mentality displayed by the men. The 1902 team displayed more head work to my mind than any other team in the history of the institution. It is easy to think if the circumstances are conducive to thought ; but to think in a stubbornly contested fight, in the heat of action and goal peril, surrounded by a mob of wild-yelling rooters, is a difficult feat to attain. The past season the boys seldom lost their “ thinking caps,” and to this I attribute, in a great measure, the resultant victories. Having thus considered the physical and mental attributes of the team we are now to consider the predominant cause of victory, which I arbitrarily choose to call the moral element in foot-ball; moral, understand me, not perse, but moral in the sense that it emanates from a basic principle essentially moral. A principle by-virtue of which the interest of the individual is merged in the greater interest of the institution ; individual desire is stifled to make way for the honor of the college—individualism giving way to unity of action. Foot-hall in this sense becomes more than a means of self-gratification. The honor of the college is ever uppermost, and tends to develop the best elements in a mail’s nature. It is this element of foot-ball that breeds strict discipline, spirit and aggressiveness, moral 124 grit and courage. In exemplification that the team was imbued with this spirit, and love of college, I need but recall to the minds of readers the heroic and determined stand made by the team at Dickinson and Haver ford. Mere physical prowess would never have won those splendid victories—the grander element of foot-ball was the cause of our ultimate triumph. In further testimony recall the spirit, dash, and aggressiveness displayed in the Swarthmore game, and the pre cision and unity of action throughout the contest with Franklin and Marshall. Whatever qualities a team may possess, without discipline they are rendered nugatory ; whereas, by virtue of discipline those in authority are able to develop those latent elements within the men that are conducive and necessary to success. In conclusion of this subject, to the honor of the 1902 team be it said that they always showed a willingness to carry out all instructions, all new formations and new theories, however impracticable they might have appeared. So much for the constituent factors of success ; a brief word in regard to the results achieved by this splendid team. I.et us consider the result to the college and to the individual. First in regard to the individual. Surely, the man who, through a course of training, has developed brawn and muscle, good habits and regular hours, and fed on a regular and well-assorted diet has developed, at least, a nobler physical manhood. Surely, the person who has developed self-control, manly courage, love of fair play, self-confidence, and aggressiveness, and submitted himself to a strict discipline, has the better prepared himself to fight the battle of life, has imbibed into his being elements off training and qualities of mind that will awaken within him what is truest, best, and noblest. Second, the foot ball season of 1902 has created for future athletics at Ursinus a much needed tradition—a tradition to act as an incentive to victory, a tradition to look into the face of defeat and direst necessity. Last year’s foot-ball team has spread and made known the name of Ursinus where it was previously unheard ; it has acted as a tremendous advertisement to bring the college before the young of the State ; it has, perad-venture, awakened within the alumni, old and young, a vivid realization of the fact that their Alma Mater can successfully compete with her sister institutions, with a consequent effect of awakening within each Alumnus a sentiment of pride and devotion. All hail, then, to the Captain and Members of the 1902 Foot-ball Team, who have made the name Ursinus fairer and more glorious. Edward E.

Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness On our merriment and song. Now the glees of old Ursinus Peal across the downy green ; From Memorial to Olevian Span the distance far between ; And the walls of dear old prepdom The reverlierations fling From the East Wing to the Dog House. As our voices loudly ring. Then across the Perkiomen The chimings wing their flight, Till beyond the far-flung hill tops They kiss heaven's dome of light; Then, as if they rued their boldness, Come in trembling echo back ; And thus end the winged praises Of the Red. Old Gold, and black. Pktri, ’oo. Aik : Drink to me only with Ihinc eves, BENEATH the woven shade once more In dear old college days, Awhile the twilight darkens o'er We’ll sing Ursinus’ praise.

Though through the pathways of the world Our way be rough and long. Our hearts will turn where'er we be With longing, deep and strong, Out voices join in memory To wake the old-time song Let our yell swell the breeze. And ring from all the trees Ursinus’ song ; Eel Red, Old Gold, and Black be seen in every track, Let spirit never lack, Tlie sound prolong. In the good old foot-ball time.

We hold the ball and rush it through, And that's a very good sign That there ’ll be something doing In the good old foot-ball time. A FAIRY'S POEM. v „« ONE day with a burdened conscience, Of wearisome toil and care, I strolled o’er a flowery meadow. Not thinking or knowing where, But only from Care. A brooklet nearby was singing, Inviting me to its side, O'crshaded by drooping branches ; A secret she would confide ; And hither I hied. The robins were singing sweetly, From troubles and sorrows free ; The daisies and pinks were smiling And filled with unconscious glee, Were looking at me. A fairy with golden ringlets Emerged from the singing brook ; She smiled unto me a greeting, Then daisies and pinks she took, And fashioned a book. She opened the fragrant pages, And showed me a poem there ; Perusing the verse my bosom Was trembling with feeling rare— Freed wholly from care. While reading this poem my troubles Had silently passed away ; No longer my soul was weary-Unconscious Of cares that day Forgotten were they. A song of musical gladness The robins sang to my soul; The zephyrs with fragrant comfort In silence over me stoic Enraptured my soul. This is the sweet joy of childhood, The heart is content and gay. The bosom may have its troubles. With each parting kiss of day Forgotten are they. 142 Wm. Harvkv Err, '93. Reminiscences of College Days. „ t .j I. THE college days, of which a few “reminiscences” are here recorded, were spent at Ursinus from September, 1873, to June, 1877. Two more years, to June, 1879, were spent as a member of the college community. Those were, of necessity, days of arduous toil, of great trials and sacrifices, when the Founders and especially the Faculty of the College were struggling hard to lay broad and deep her foundations for future work and success. The first Class to receive the A. B. of Ursinus, graduated in June, 1873. It numbered five young men, but they were men of mark. After twenty years one of them was called to the Presidency of the College, and still stands at her head. September ist, 1873. the fourth year opened with a Freshman Class of nine. As in all college classes, changes occurred during the course. A sad event to the Class and the college early that year was the death of a promising young member, Abraham Hunsicker, of Collegeville. He was a member of a temperance society that was preparing to perform a drama in a hall in town. At a rehearsal one evening he was accidentally shot and killed. The tragedy was the last act. and “ Ten Nights in a Bar Room,” was never performed in Collegeville. In the College Faculty were five professors. The Academic Department had two or three instructors who were, at the same time, students of theology. Three of the professors taught in both the College and the Theological Department. The venerable President, Rev. J. II. A. Bomberger, D. D., also edited the Reformed Church Monthly, and wrote most of its articles. At the same time he was Pastor of St. Luke’s Reformed Church, at Trappe. The old Reformed Church then stood in part of what is the beautiful Reformed cemetery. When still in use the exterior of the old edifice appeared not unlike some old mill. Ere long it was demolished, and the large edifice near the Masonic Temple was erected. Here the professors and students of the College attended services. President Bomberger was •43 widely known as a strong and eloquent pulpit orator. Many able sermons were preached in his pulpit. Sometimes his sermons were lengthy, an hour or over, but almost invariably interesting. During college vacations he generally was abroad through the Church, preaching and lecturing, and looking after the interests of the College. Professors H. W. Super, 1). D., and S. V. Ruby, A. M., and all students from a distance, had rooms in the College building. A steward with his family, had charge of the boarding department Early rising and regularity were required of all. The rising bell rang at 5.30 A. M., the breakfast bell at 0 A. M., and a few moments were allowed for all to be in the chapel, and thence, in order, to proceed to the dining-room, and the door was locked. Late risers frequently came rushing down, with toilet uncompleted, barely in time to pass in, or from the lop of the stairway to see the door closed, and then return to their room and fast till noon. The Zvvinglian and Schaff Literary Societies were then in full swing in their respective halls, in East Wing ; the former in the basement, the latter in the attic. The eloquence, and the literary feats of the one never disturbed the tranquility of the other; but the persuasive powers of some members of the one over newly arrived students often ruffled the equanimity of members of the other. For the anniversaries the members were assigned ladies of Trappe and Collegeville, whom they were to escort to and from the College chapel, to assist in the decorations. Then, if mutually agreeable, the same arrangement stood for the anniversary evening. In some cases, it became mutually satisfactory to make calls at other times, and some students by “trapping” on grounds where others desired to “ trappe,” stirred up their wrath, and, while retracing their steps toward College in the darkness sometimes had to make great haste to escape flying stones or other missiles. During part of this period, Pennsylvania Female College, in Collegeville, was still in operation under the charge of Dr. Sunderland. The students of Ursinus had no opportunity to meet or even recognize those of the former. But lo ! the unexpected happened, and their opportunity came. One Sunday evening Pennsylvania College was discovered to be on fire. All the students of Ursinus hastened to the rescue. Some bravely fought the fire with buckets, while others went up into the main building, and assisted the girls in packing their trunks, and bringing them, and their books, etc., down, and out to a safe place on the campus. Then they sat down and had a chat with them. The fire, however, was extinguished without injury to the main building. Then the boys assisted the girls in replacing the trunks into their rooms. The professor of German and History in Ursinus, at that time, was Rev. J. Van Haagen, A. M., and of the English Language and Literature, Samuel Y. Ruby, A. M. Each of these'met with frequent difficulties in his department, and 144 occasionally an amusing episode. The English boy would murder his German, and the Pennsylvania German boy his English. One day the Professor of German was hearing the Freshmen in “Outlines of Universal History.’’ A student, not a regular Freshman, was up. The subject was in connection with Charlemagne The student said : “ Scharles Magnesia.” A pause, and the Professor leaned over the table with a look of much surprise and said : “ Vhat you say? Yhat you say?” He replied : “ Scharles Magnesia.” An explosion followed in which the professor and all present joined. Athletics at Ursinus in those days consisted of base-ball on the College campus. An occasional game was ventured with a club of some nearby town The students found recreation in walks to the historic Perkiotnen. orTrappe, and sometimes to Valley Forge, or surrounding country. In summer many went bathing in the Perkiomen, and some, at times, seeking fair companions, went boating by moonlight on its placid waters. In winter, when the ice was firm and smooth, skating furnished exhilarating recreation. The event of greatest interest, however, for each Class was its Commence tnent. Ursinus College has always had largely attended and interesting commencements. Until 1876, the exercises were held in the College chapel, of East Wing. Hut 1876 was the Centennial of American Independence. The great international exposition was going on in Philadelphia. The Class of that year seemed to imbibe the spirit of independence, or of expansion, or something of that sort, and the said : “ We are too large to.deliver our graduating orations in that little chapel we will go to Trinity Church, or not graduate.” They were up against the Faculty. It was “nip and tuck” for a time. Hut they succeeded, and their commencement was held in Trinity Church. After a few more years the attendance outgrew its capacity. Then a large canvas tent, erected on the campus to shelter about one thousand people, was used for a time. The Class of 1S77 was a notable one in several respects. It numbered six members. They took the initiative in forming a Class organization. Five of them afterward entered the ministry, and one the profession of law. They had a Class banquet and Class Day exercises. They planted a Class Ivy by the front wall of “ East College Hall.” It grew and flourished for some time but a severe winter destroyed it. It still lives, however, somewhere. The writer had taken from it a small branch while it yet lived, and carrying it to his Maryland home, planted it, and there still prizes it highly as a memento of his Class, of Class Day, and of “ College Days.” S. M. Hench, ’77. � 4.S II. IN considering the question as to whether or not I should accept the kind invitation to write an article concerning my “ Reminiscences of College Days” I was reminded of the thin, pale lodger who said to liis landlady, “ I shouldn’t care so much about the bugs, but the fact is, ma’am, I haint got the blood to spare.” Time is an element in these busy days, but the man who can not find time to look back for a few moments on lv.s college days, has something radically wrong with him. As I bridge over the chasm of twenty years probably the most vivid recollection of my days at college is the time I spent on the base-ball field. I would not have you believe that I did not study, but I fear I was very much like Pat, who reasoned that if water would rot his boots, it certainly would the lining of his stomach, and therefore he would take ns little of it as possible. I reasoned that if study kept a boy indoors, it would keep him away from the base-ball field, and therefore I’d do as little studying as possible. I.ike all other boys I had a pride in working out a difficult problem in calculus, but I am sure I had a much greater ambition to stand under the old oak tree that used to spread its branches before the building now known as Homberger Memorial Hall, and knock the ball over the tops of the maple trees that line the College avenue. Any sort of a batsman could line one down toward second base, but it took an artist, in my eyes, to land a ball in the front yard of the College President. The average player could somehow manage to get his base, but to me. the one who could touch three bases, and the home plate as well, before the ball was returned, had taken his thirty third degree in the order of hase-ballists. I can not say that I ever enjoyed this distinction, but I tried hard enough, and therein lay the benefit. It is the habit of trying that a boy needs to cultivate. He may not succeed at first, or even at any time, to do what he would like to do, but after many “ trys” a task must necessarily become easier. It takes a deal of physical strength to help a man win the battles of life. A fine church spire on a poor foundation is an uncertain quantity. Just so is a finely trained intellect in a sickly body. I fear I was not so philosophical twenty years ago, but the fact remains nevertheless and was as true then as now. The abuse o:' a thing is no argument against it, and if college athletics to-day seem to be a little heroic, there is no one who can utterly condemn them. There was a day, however, when a young man could indulge in athletics at college and finish his course without breaking most of the bones in his body, or parting with sections of his cuticle at intervals. It may be a good thing to weigh two hundred and twenty-five pounds and be able to go through the opponents’ line like a billy goat through a palefence, but twenty years ago we did not have this privilege. The second most pleasant recollection, undoubtedly, is the many Friday evenings I spent at the meetings of the Schaff Literary Society. The momentous questions we used to discuss, and the weighty arguments we advanced, seem almost appalling as they are viewed from this vantage ground. No United States Senator ever was more in earnest, nor was any orator more eloquent than were we, as we delivered our Philippics, reeking with the accumulated wisdom of the ages. Those were days that tried boys’ souls, as well as the patience of the judges, but it was time well spent. There is nothing that will aid a young man to learn to think on his feet so well as a debating society. The typewriter, the telephone and the telegraph do not in these days, give a man a week in which to make up his mind on the questions that come before him. lie must necessarily grasp situations more readily than he ever did. In my opinion the college literary society is one of the necessary and useful elements of a collegiate education. The young man who fails to realize this fact, and who religiously shirks this work, will inevitably find, too late, that he made a grave mistake. The third most pleasant recollection, probably, is the abiding confidence I had in myself as I rolled up my diploma and walked out into an unsympathetic world. My stock of knowledge, in my own estimation, was of a size and calibre that could not fail to stagger an admiring public. In this, I presume, I differed little from most graduates. Most of us go out of college with a head too big for our hat, and a foot too large for our shoe. The game of success, however, is very much like the game of foot-ball. You ofttimes step up to the tackle line with a condescending smile on your face, but are as often carried off the field with distorted features and a front tooth missing. “ Bucking up against” a cold-hearted world for five or ten years makes the average know-it-all graduate feel like agreeing with the schooner, which is reported to have said, after sailing through a fleet of ironclads, “ I have passed through many hardships. No young man, however, will escape the hardships without running on the rocks. He'll never get into deep water without having some guns trained on him. No soldier is a veteran until he has been under fire. Few men succeed until they have failed at least in some of their undertakings. Training is always necessary, and the training a young man receives at college must help him in time. It is said that seventy per cent, of the leading men of this country are college bred, but this is not saying that seventy per cent, of college bred men become leading citizens. The late Professor Ruby once told the writer that, in his experience as a lawyer, he never met a thief who was not a democrat; but he added that this was not saying that all democrats are thieves. But I must end this article, or I will be like the writer who asked his doctor whether he did not think he was writing too much for his nervous system, and received the answer, “ No, but you are writing too much for your reputation.” Alvin Hunsickkk. '84. III.—1889-1893. (WILL not attempt to give a continued story of events of this period, as the work would exceed the results. It seems better to give short anecdotes of actual happenings which came under my observation while spending the years at college. The first term is usually the most trying to the new student. My first was the spring of 1SS9, and it seemed that every cocoon for miles around had opened and forth had come a full-grown butterfly which helped to make the days bright. There were more co-eds then than during any other spring term, and the amount of freedom of intercourse allowed scared away the blues and Jieimiveh from many a one. Perhaps it were better to divide the thoughts under several heads. We must also remember in reading these thoughts that this was the transformation period of the College from the old to the new, also that the old was pretty well run down and the new not yet perfected. Athletics, especially, were in embryo. Well do some of the graduates remember the beginnings of base-ball and foot ball. The writer’s first suit for base-ball, provided by the college, consisted of a pair of pantaloons costing twenty-five cents. So scantily were we provided that on one occasion, when we played at Bethlehem, we nearly froze on the diamond. On another occasion a Decoration Day game nearly bankrupted the management, because we broke a few bats, and friend Teuton can bear witness that we would get our new balls on credit until after the game. Considering all things, the best team, perhaps, that the college turned out, was the 1893 team of which the battery was Rahn, ‘93, and Plank. On one occasion a team from Philadelphia was to play a game with us, and the place was so well known that they got olT the train at Norristown and walked out, arriving on the campus at about five o'clock. The annual Hallowe’en parties and spring smashups have lost their spirit, as the residents can testify. No more are ancient eggs used to drive the boys out of rooms as they did Small, ’92, nor is the rear porch littered to the depth of two feet with ashes, pitchers, etc. No more are the boys given one demerit for going away on Saturday to play ball, as was the team of ’90, nor is the faculty so unsociable as to give demerits for attending country festivals as they did when we went to Rahn’s. We are sure, unless the boys use oil stoves, that no professor could sit beside a stewing chicken all evening, as did the late Professor Ruby in a room in the “ Dog House,” and wonder where the odor came from. The steward no longer in his sleep sees his chickens reproach him for not protecting them from the hands of the students, nor counts mournfully the bones laid at his back door. The faithful duo, who “ flanked” a cow tied in the entry under the east wing, while an admiring audience of white-winged creatures looked 011, has passed away, as well 148 as the ardent admirers of Goethe who, having been locked in, jammed out the lower panel of a new door in Memorial Hall rather than let Charlie drop out of the window and turn the key. No longer does the gas machine betray the secrets of the use of vacant periods in the girls’ room in the Hall. One of the writer’s last acts was to catch a twenty-four inch copperhead for Dr. Mensch. It was so vicious that it was chloroformed, and prepared for the Museum. The walk to the creek is still maintained, and should be. Perhaps more memories for more of the boys cling to that walk than to any other section of the town. The boarding clubs came into existence dr.ring this period. Those by the Perkiotnen were the most permanent. The most stylish was the one beyond the Convent (Olevian Hall), and the largest was the one in the College building. At one time this numbered thirty-five members, two cooks, and a manager, making thirty-eight in all. One funny incident comes to me just here in connection with boarding clubs. This was the escort of S., '92, and H. J. C , ’92, from the pike to Olevian Hall by the drum corps composed of the boarding club next to the Hall. They enjoyed it but � S. did not. We sang “ ninety-nine green bottles,” for the citizens’ benefit, from the toll gate to the railroad, to the tune of the Italian’s Wheelbarrow.” We saluted all late comers with green apples in the old orchard. We held solemn meetings with R., '94, as “ prediger.” We made lemonade by the gallon, and ate soda crackers by the box to exist until morning. We did not drink the milk left in the boarding club pantry, especially that dosed with mix vomica, as some did. We believe that the boys to-day do not appreciate the struggles of the students of the period before 1891 and 1892. Sacrifice, privation, patience forbearance, all had to be exercised to keep up our loyalty to old Ursinus when she offered so little and others offered so much. Rut we saw, as in a vision, what is now partly realized, and we breathed the hope now partly perfected. We can now see the old laboratory, the old halls, the old society lofts, the old chapel with its interleaved Bible and its red-painted desk ; we see the old steward and his overburdened table, the irate butcher telling why his meat was so tough, the old barn, the pump, the little stoves, the old high beds, the green mail box, the old professors, nearly all gone, the old girls, young as ever, the squirrels, and we wish we were back again beginning again those happy years of the free and careless student life. The boys are men now, but let us be boys still, and remember how we struggled for our Alma Mater then, and do noble deeds for her now. G. W. Welsh, ’93. 49 THE PRICE OF PROGRESS. We chanced to meet, his upper lip bespoke the coming man— A sturdy form, a winning eye—engaged, so gossip ran. ‘ A youth of promise he, a happy future there,” 1 said. The following week the very day, they told me he was dead. lie worked where men and muscles, steel and tin- engendered force Combined by human mind construct the mighty iron horse. Amidst the hissing steam, and furnaces of scorching breath, Possessed of life, the heir to love, he fell the spoil of death. Some iron hand had dashed him like a plaything to the ground. His requiem nothing but the hammer's hard unfeeling sound. ‘One locomotive made a day,” they freel) advertise, Hut yet no type, however small, dare tell to human eyes How often such production costs the world a mortal’s life— ‘ The price of progress”—yes, with which we boast our times are rife. We conjure force with fire, to speed o'er land and ride the Hood, But for her service nature takes her recompense in blood. How fittingly the ocean greyhound we with blood red wine Baptize ! How little does the loud-applauding crowd divine That when the keel was laid some weeping wife her husband lost, Or that to raise the mast a mother’s only son it cost ! Not war alone bestows advancement at the price of gore, For death is blazoned on material progress’ every door. Forever we achieve our vaunted power by sacrifice. So shall we tunnel continents in orphaned children's cries. And bridge the restless ocean with the widow's sob and moan. Until Achievement has attained her last and highest throne. A day of grateful mem’ry gathers ’round the soldier’s grave, Because he gave his willing life the threatened State to save, But falls no annual flower, and comes no comrade’s martial tread, Or hero worship o'er the mechanic martyr’s head. He gave his life to mend the breaches impious war had made— The nation’s prostrate industry—and new foundations laid. But while unmindful man forgets, the all-remembering One Bestows upon th' unhonored head eternity’s “ Well done.” Carl G. Petri, 1900. 150 Audubon the Naturalist. . , PERHAPvS all who will see this sketch know that Audubon was of French ancestry, that he lived during the early part of the nineteenth century, and that he became famous because of his intimate knowledge of the birds of this country. Let us add to these facts a few others, derived from the biographies by his wife and by his granddaughter Audubon may be regarded as a child of the alliance which was formed between America and France during the Revolutionary War. His father was an admiral in the French navy, and at one time was attached to the army under Lafayette. During a visit to Pennsylvania just previous to the war he purchased the estate near the mouth of the Perkiomen known since by the name “ Millgrove.” The future naturalist was born on a plantation in Louisiana before the close of the warj. His mother was a creole who, tradition says, was very beautiful. While still very young he was taken to St. Domingo, where the Admiral owned valuable property, and a little later to Nantes, France, where his education was begun under the care of his stepmother. “ His father, from natural predilections, was desirous that the boy should become a sailor, a cadet in the French navy, or an engineer ; and with these views before him he decided on the course of study his son should follow.” Put from the first ‘‘the beauties of nature stirred a frenzy ” in his blood. lie says that his earliest recollections were of lying under orange trees in Louisiana and watching the movements of a mocking-bird. Consequently his tasks at mathematics and geography were often neglected, and at every opportunity the irresistible summons had its way. lie was taken to Rochefort and placed under the guardianship of a French naval officer, whose sole duty it was to see that his studies were attended to ; but with similar results. Taking advantage of his guard’s lack of vigilance, he one day jumped from the window of his room and was making good his escape to the fields, as he thought, when he was arrested and imprisoned in a barge for several weeks. Notwithstanding these efforts, both to attract and to coerce him into a military career, he cared only for natural history. He collected all manner of specimens, particularly birds’ nests, eggs and skins, and won the admiration even of his father by the good taste with which he arranged them. One discipline, however, received from his early schooling served him well in later years. He had for drawing-master the well-known French artist David, to whose careful teaching in delineation he owed his early success in portraying bird life. He was already a good draltsman, and had a considerable collection of bird drawings. 1’utnain‘s t Scribner's. ; The exact date is not known, but is usnall given as May 17S0 At the age of seventeen Audubon was sent by his father to superintend the property at Millgrove. On this first visit he found the place “ a blessed spot.” Supplied from the rental with all the funds he needed, he lived here with his tenant for several years, leading a gay and care-free life. He was indeed something of a coxcomb, being as he himself says in his journal, “ ridiculously fond of dress, and present at all the parties and balls of the neighborhood dressed in the best finery my means could bring from Philadelphia.” Much time was spent in hunting, fishing, skating, and other outdoor sports, while his ruling passion for birds became continually stronger. His keenest delight was in studying their habits in the woods and fields, and in drawing them with brush or pencil. The visitor to Millgrove thisday is shown some dark spots on the floor of Audubon’s favorite room in the third story, which arc said to be bloodstains—a melancholy witness to the devotion of the young naturalist to his dearest friends. It was at Millgrove that Audubon conceived the project which, when carried out and given to the world was pronounced by Cuvier -to be ‘‘ the most gigantic biblical enterprise ever undertaken by a single individual.” This was to paint portraits of all the American birds, and to know all about their habits. He did not write his “ Ornithological Biography” at Millgrove, as is sometimes stated, nor did he as yet even conceive the idea of publishing a book on the subject of birds. His ambition to become known as a naturalist seems to have possessed him only after his marriage, and it is more than possible that without the encouragement of his wife he would never have been known as “ America’s first naturalist.’’ As yet he was simply following his strong passion for nature. The visitor to Millgrove is sure to hear of or see the little cave in the hill near the old copper mines. On the site of this grotto was a former one in which Audubon plighted troth with Lucy Bakewell, the daughter of an Englishman living at that time near Fatland Ford. She became his wife in 1808, and soon afterward they journeyed to Louisville, Ky., where Audubon, in partnership with 152 a friend, entered upon mercantile life. The partner, however, did most of the business. Audubon fretted continually for the woods, and at every opportunity was out with gun or with palette and brushes searching the wilderness for birds. Audubon's road to fame was full of difficulties. At no time throughout the entire middle half of his life was he free from financial embarassment. The mercantile business was a failure. The remainder of his fortune (from the sale of Millgrove in 1812) he sunk in a huge mill at Hendersonville. Ky. He was employed for two or three years at Cincinnati as curator of a museum, but never received the money for his services. At Natchez, Miss., and later at New Orleans, he maintained a bare subsistence for himself and family by giving lessons in drawing, painting and in French. These failures were not, however, without a compensation. They came precisely because of his consuming passion for nature. When, according to all the precepts of business, he should have been at his desk, he was wading the marshes in search of a bird's nest, or was perched in some strained position motionlessly studying the habits of a new species. On a certain business journey he lost sight of his pack train because he turned aside to observe more carefully a warbler that was not yet familiar to him. He spent money that could ill be spared for lessons in oil painting from Stein who was then at New Orleans. The same desire to improve the artistic value of his work brought him in 1824 again to Philadelphia, where he received lessons from Sully, and many attentions from Rembrandt Peale who was then painting bird- ) ; from Le Seur. the zoologist artist ; and from Prince Camino, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was at the time engaged on a volume of American birds. From all these Audubon received much praise and encouragement, and from tlie last named, the idea of publishing his own paintings. He was advised to take theni'to England where they could be reproduced to much better advantage than in this country. When he left Philadelphia it was with the conviction that his own was the best collection of bird portraits in America, and with the determination that he would goto Europe, if necessary, to have them published. 153 Audubon returned to his family in Louisiana and immediately began making plans to go abroad. lie turned dancing master and in a short time cleared two thousand dollars. Ilis wife was now enjoying an income of nearly three thousand a year from her industry and talents, and with their combined savings Audubon says, “I was now able to foresee a successful issue to mv great ornithological work.” He reached England in July, 1826. His paintings were all life-size representations of birds in their natural attitudes, among their natural surroundings. To reproduce them was no small undertaking for the lithographers of that day. The estimated cost was over $100,000, an appalling sum in the eyes of a poor man. To guarantee this amount it was necessary to secure at least two hundred subscribers at a thousand dollars each. Such was Audubon’s task at a time when there were no millionaire patrons of art and science ; and the confidence with which the task was accepted, as well as the perseverance with which it was prosecuted illustrate better than anything else in his life the indomitable character of the man. He travelled all over Great Britain, France and the United States, facing all kinds of discouragements, and even denunciations as a Utopian fool to think of selling a book at a cost of a thousand dollars ! In 1831 he writes : “ Who would believe that once in London Audubon had only one sovereign left in his pocket, and did not know of a single individual to whom he could apply to borrow another, when he was on the verge of failure in the beginning of his undertaking ; and above all, who would believe that he extricated himself from all this difficulty, not by borrowing money, but by rising at four o’clock in the morning, working hard all day, and disposing of his work at a price which a common laborer would have thought little more than sufficient remuneration ? To give you an idea of my difficulties, no less than fifty of my subscribers, representing a sum of fifty-six thousand dollars, abandoned me, and I find myself now, having but one hundred and thirty names on my list.” Of this latter number were the King of England, the Duke of Orleans, and the United .States House of Representatives. Throughout these trying years Audubon was greatly cheered by the reception which he everywhere received from scientific men. In 1828 he wrote : “ I have now run the gauntlet of Europe, and may be proud of two things—that I am considered the first ornithological painter and the first practical naturalist of America and again the same year : “I am feted, feasted, elected an honorary member of societies, making money by my exhibitions and by my paintings. It is Mr. Audubon here, and Mr. Audubon there, and I can only hope Mr. Audubon will not be made a conceited fool at last.” After his election to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, of which Sir Walter Scott was then President, he wrote : “So poor Audu- bon, if not rich, thou wilt be honored at least, and held in esteem among men.” Audubon was a lucid scientific writer as well as a great bird artist. His 54 “ Ornithological Biography,” which was completed in five volumes, was begun in 1830, and was both written and published in Edinburgh. His remarkable energy and great love for birds are shown in the following to his son : “ Writing now became the order of the day. I sat at it as soon as I awoke in the morning, and continued the whole day ; and so full was my mind of birds and their habits, that in my sleep I continually dreamed of birds. And so the manuscripts went on increasing in bulk, like the rising of a stream after abundant rains, and before three months had passed the first volume was finished. Meanwhile your mother copied it all to send to America to secure the copyright there.” The work was finished in 1839. One other book. ” The Quadrupeds of North America,” written jointly by Audubon and I)r. Bachman, of Savannah, was begun in 1846, and was completed after Audubon’s death by his sons. It is on the ” Birds of America,” however, that Audubon’s fame as a naturalist chiefly rests. In its completed form this book contains over five hundred bird portraits in natural colors, of natural size, and among natural surroundings. The size of the page (39 x 26 inches) makes it of use only as a reference book ; as a consequence it is rarely seen except by special students . Of this work Cuvier said : “ It is the most magnificent monument which has yet been erected to ornithology.” Those words spoken nearly seventy-five years ago would be challenged by very few scientists to-day. The last twelve years of Audubon’s life were spent on Manhattan Island, where he selected for a home a piece of land lying between what is now Tenth Avenue and the Hudson River. Of Audubon’s personality something has already been hinted. The keys to his character are his ancestry and his overpowering passion for nature. The former accounts for the romantic element in his nature, which was so pronounced as to affect alike his writings and his art ; the latter, for his great energy and, in later life, for his extreme simplicity. In personal appearance Audubon resembled Andrew Jackson. He sat for a portrait of Jackson in 1825. The following is from Parke Goodwin who visited Audubon in 1846 : ” lie was a tall, thin man with a high-arched and serene fore- head, and a bright penetrating gray eye ; his white locks fell in clusters upon his shoulders, but were the only signs of age. for his form was erect, and his step as light as that of a deer. The expression of his face was sharp, but noble and commanding, and there was something in it, partly derived from the aquiline nose, and partly from the shutting of the mouth, that made you think of the imperial eagle.” Another writer says : ” The wonderful simplicity of the man was, perhaps, the most remarkable trait. His enthusiasm for facts made him unconscious of himself. To make him happy you had only to give him a new fact in natural history, or to introduce to him a rare bird. Ilis self-forgetfulness was very impressive. I felt that I had found a man who asked homage for God and nature, and not for himself.” J. R. Murun, Professor of Biology, Ursinus College.

Washington's Encampment at Pennebacker's Mills. v v FIVE miles north from ITsinus, on the banks of the Perkiomen at Schwenks-viile, stands the mill known in Revolutionary times as Pennebacker’s Mill, and as such became famous in local history. Although changed in appearance, as to locality and purpose it continues to be a monument upon the camp ground of a portion at least of the American army at this place in 1777. The time when this vicinity was occupied by the American army was after the battle of Brandywine, and up to and after the battle of Germantown. After the battle of Brandywine, and a few days later that of Warren’s Tavern, Chester County, Washington was led to believe that the British intended to move up the great road through Trappe to Reading, where the supplies of the American army were then stored. So Washington decided to make no further effort to save Philadelphia, but started his advance guard at midnight (September 21st) towards Pottstown, and the following day the entire army with Washington marched up the great road through Trappe, and encamped near Pottsgrove. On September 26th, the army left camp at Pottsgrove at 9 o'clock A. M., came down the great road as far as Limerick, where they turned to the left, marched to what is now Schw.enksville and encamped at Pennebacker’s Mills. It was a cold, rough, windy day. when about seven thousand soldiers went into camp at this place. Washington fixed his headquarters at the home of Samuel Pennebaeker, then owner of the famous mill, and the tents of the soldiers were erected upon the high ground on both sides of the Perkiomen. At the same time General Armstrong with some three or four thousand Pennsylvania militia continued on down the great road to Trappe, making his principal headquarters in the Lutheran church, which is still standing and well preserved. The farmers in the vicinity of Sehwenksville did not look with great favor upon their visitors; their barns had just been filled with crops, and the poorly supplied soldiers had learned how to forage with effect. Every farmer removed his horses to a place of safety. It was four o’clock P. M. when the army arrived, and before night every fence upon the place was carried away for camp-fires. The hay and straw in the barns and on stacks disappeared, and every fowl perished save one old hen which, as it chanced, was trying to hatch a late brood. But these depredations were stopped in pursuance of orders issued by General Washington, saying to the officers, that they must prevent such infringement of discipline. 156 On the same day General Smallwood joined the army with a reinforcement of 1000 Maryland militia. Sunday, the 28th, was the most eventful day at and around the mills. I11 the morning came the glad news that General Gates had defeated Burgoyne at the battle of Stillwater. It is easy to conceive what hope it awakened in the hearts of the commander-in-chief and his patriotic followers, whom the late series of reverses might well have made despondent. The following orders were at once announced to the army: Sunday, September 28th, at Pennebacker’s Mills: “The com- mander-in-chief has the happiness again to congratulate the army on the success of the Americans to the northward. On the 15th inst. an engagement took place at Stillwater. X. V., between General Burgoyne’s army and the left wing of ours, under General Gates. The battle began at 10 o’clock and lasted till night, our troops fighting with the greatest bravery, not giving an inch of ground.’ To celebrate this success general orders were issued, that at 4 o’clock that afternoon all the troops be paraded and served with a gill of rum per man, and that at the same time there be a discharge of eighteen pieces of artillery from the park. At the signing of this order, which doubtless happened in Samuel Pennebacker’s house that Sabbath morning, there were present besides General Washington, Generals Greene, Sullivan. Stirling, Stephens, and Armstrong ; Brigadier Generals Wayne, Muhlenberg, Knox, Conway, Nash, Smallwood, Scott, Potter, Irvine, and McDougall. At a council of war held this day, the Continental force was thus outlined by Washington : McDougall with about 9000111011, had joined the army ; Smallwood had also come in with about 1700 Maryland militia ; Forman with about 600 of the Jersey militia was near the main body on the Skippack road. The number of Continental troops in camp fit for duty, exclusive of the detachment under McDougall, and tliat number under Wayne at Trappe, was 5472, to which was to be added Maxwell’s light corps, about 450, and the Pennsylvania militia under Armstrong. Altogether the army consisted of about 8000 Continental troops, rank and file, and 3000 militia. The council decided against an immediate attack on the enemy, and that the army should move to a proper camp about twelve miles from Pennebacker’s Mills to await reinforcements and a more fitting opportunity to attack. The great question to be decided was whether another battle should be risked at once in an effort to drive the enemy from Philadelphia, or whether the arrival of a reinforcement of 2500 men who were expected from Peekskill should be awaited. The discussion which ensued showed diversity of opinion, but it was finally decided to approach nearer and watch for a favorable opportunity to strike a blow. The same day, September 29th, Washington led his army from Pennebackei s '57 Mills clown to Skippack, within twenty-four miles of Philadelphia. The next day the army advanced still farther on the Skippack road, and a lew days later reached what is now Worcester Township. It was from Methachon Ilill that the army started at 7 o'clock in the evening-, October 3d, to attack the enemy at Germantown. This battle, as is well known, ended in a disastrous defeat for Washington. That night the troops again returned in companies and singly, tired, hungry, and thirsty, and toox possession of their old quarters. Beyond all question the main body of the army under Washington returned to its old headquarters at Pennebacker’s Mills, while the militia took up its old camp at Trappe. This encampment at Schwenksville was quite large and occupied territory 011 both sides of the Perkiomen. The army reached Pennebackei’s Mills at 9 P. M , October 5II1, and remained there until October 8th, when it marched to Towamcnsing, thence through Worcester, Whitpain, and Whitemarsh, across the Schuylkill at Swede's Ford, thence to Valley Forge. The army arrived at this place on December 19th, and made preparations to remain there for the winter. How many of the wounded came to Penncbackcr s Mills from the battle of Germantown and what attention they received it is impossible to ascertain with accuracy, but doubtless the people about the mills and beyond did all in their power to alleviate their sufferings. It is known, however, that a large number of the wounded and dying were brought back with the troops, and that on October 7th, a number of officers were interred in this vicinity with the honors of war. A few of the forefathers of the Keely family, in this neighborhood, in their lifetime stated that to their knowledge at least 200 soldiers, wounded at the battle of Germantown, were brought back to their former encampment at this place after the battle. Some were dead upon arrival, while others, still living, were taken to the homes of Henry Keely and Win. Pennebacker, the majority of whom died soon after. Valentine Keely stated that he was present at the digging of a circular grave sixteen feet in diameter on the premises of his father, Henry Keely, and saw many of the soldiers buried there during the early part of October. 1777. That grave of the patriotic dead was regarded as sacred ground by the Keely family, and received their devoted care and veneration during their lifetime. That unmarked, traditional tomb is now covered, at least partially, by an outbuilding belonging to the farm of Frederick Fagley. Interesting accounts of the location of army tents on both sides of the Perkiomen, especially of the tent occupied by General Muhlenberg, the bake-house, slaughter-house, and well of water, were frequently given to those who were uninformed of the Revolutionary incidents in this vicinity. This well, although now covered with flat stones, is still in existence on the premises of John Keely. Some of the trees on the west side of the Perkiomen, after standing and growing, doubtless, for a period of more than a hundred years, contained charred hark, burned wood, incisions and openings for pegs on which kettles were hung for cooking purposes. All this evidence has, since 1884, been obliterated by the removal of the timber. Pennebacker’s Mills and Washington’s headquarters, a few hundred yards to the northeast, have since been looked upon with pride by those living in the community, and their pride was increased when, a few years ago. Judge Pennypacker, a direct descendant of Samuel Pennebacker, who owned the house while Washington made it his headquarters, bought the place and made it his summer home. Since then Judge Pennypacker has become Governor of Pennsylvania, and, upon leaving the Gubernatorial chair at Harrisburg, he expects to make this his permanent home. From the records of Hon H. W.

For the last three years Stratford had been victorious, but this year Bellaire was determined to win. A feature of the game the preceding year had been the sensational playing of Jack O'Brien, the star half-back of the Bellaire team. He had piayed like a demon to avert inevitable defeat, and, almost unaided, had scored a touchdown for his team. Shortly after college closed in June he had gone abroad, and was not expected to return before the beginning of the second term. The team had expected great things of him and the fellows felt blue as they met day after day for practice and O’Brien was not there. The men were shifted back and forth from one position to another, but none seemed able to fill the vacant place. '1'he great hopes of the year before were rapidly vanishing, when the proverbial “ wonderful and unexpected” happened. One day a new man reported for practice. He was recognized at once by the players as Tom Holden, a former member of the Stratford foot ball team. Angered, lie said, by unjust treatment, he had left his institution and come to its rival. I11 the game of the preceding year his playing had been scarcely less brilliant than that of O’Brien. He had been the strongest man on the Stratford team, and the Bellaire boys were jubilant to see him in their uniform. He seemed made to fill O'Brien’s place and nothing could have been greater than the interest he look in his new team. For strength, skill and speed he was unequalled, and many of the most important plays depended upon him. Bellaire was certain of victory. As the season neared its close, work centered around the preparations for the final game. Special plays were planned and practiced, new formations tried, and team work perfected. Then, a few days before the big game, Holden suddenly announced that he had been summoned home immediately on important business, and without further explanation he departed. Here was a situation vastly worse than if he had never come ! How could a substitute fill such a hole at short notice ? The boys were furious. As if the loss of their principal player was not misfortune enough, a day or two later they learned that his pretended grievance and urgent business were alike “ fakes.” He had come as a spy, and, with his complete knowledge of their methods and plays he had returned to coach their rival. Only three days remained before the great game, and the Bellaire team was still thoroughly disorganized. All hope of victory had been abandoned. The 160 men were standing about in disconsolate knots when Jack O’Brien unexpectedly sauntered on the campus. He had returned sooner than he expected, and his fir?-t desire had been to visit his old friends at the college. His appearance was welcomed by the boys as a miracle and few words were needed to explain the dilemma. Could he play? Would he help them? Travel had kept him in good condition, and he was anxious for the chance to play against his old opponents. His arrival brought renewed hope and confidence. By hard work under his inspiration a new system of play was quickly planned and mastered, and, while the team at Stratford was rejoicing over the success of their plot, their opponents were preparing as great a surprise for them. Tire day of the big game dawned clear and bright. By noon the crowds began to arrive. Every train and trolley added to the groups of men scattered over the campus, discussing the all-absorbing topic. A special train brought the team from Stratford with several hundred rooters, confident of victory. The insolent appearance of Holden, swaggering among the crowd, excited the wrath of the Bel la ire students to such a pitch that only the counsel of a few cooler heads saved him from summary punishment. As the visitors marched across the campus with pennants waving and megaphones roaring, they brought a look of apprehension to many a sturdy son of old Bellaire, but the members of the team, watching their phalanx wind around the buildings, gritted their teeth and tightened their muscles with a fierce determination to do or die. The teams trotted upon the field and ran through a sharp signal practice, amid a conflict of cheers that reverberated and echoed like waves meeting in a storm. Then they lined up, straining nervously for the word The roar was hushed into a silence so profound that the eager “ ready” of the captains sounded clear and distinct, and the dull thud of the kick-off came in sharp contrast to the shrill echo of the whistle. The game was on. Back and forth across the field the ball traveled. The defense of both teams was strong and neither goal was seriously threatened. Once O’Brien had started on a run that brought thespecta tors to their feet, but he had been downed twenty yards from the goal by Stratford’s plucky little quarter-back. At the end of the half neither team could claim any great advantage, and the adherents of both were still confident of victory. The visitors, expecting to find a demoralized team were surprised to meet new plays and unexpected strength. Foiled in their despicable scheme they had lost their over-confidence, and were playing with the grim fury of disappointment. The Bellaire team, a trifle nervous at first over their new signals and changed back field, were gaining a confidence and dash that promised well for the remainder of the game. In the second half Bellaire pushed the ball several times very near their opponent’s goal, but hard luck had each time prevented a score, 'flic game was about i6i over and both teams were desperate. During a short call of “ time out,” the captain of the Bellaire team called his men together and said, “ Boys, we’ve got to win this game. You remember that old fake we worked on Hampton last year? It’s our last chance. I’m going to try it. O'Brien, it’s up to you. Everybody take his man and make it good.” The signal was given. The interference hurled itself at the tackle, while O’Brien, with the ball under his arm, paused a moment, then sped like lightning around the other end. The fake had worked perfectly. The end had been drawn in. and only one man stood between the speeding runner and the coveted goal. The crowd rose in breathless silence to watch the result. The tackier dived forward ; the runner swerved and staggered, then shook himself free and darted forward. He shot across the line and the game was won. G., ’04. 162 Auguste Rodin. j v THE most original, the most realistic of French sculptors to-day is Auguste Rodin. He was born in Paris in the year 1840, and at the age or fourteen entered La Petite Kcole and later the school of the Gobelins and Bary’s Classes at the Jardin des Plantes. Later he went to Italy where he made a profound study of Donatello and Michael Angelo, and to-day his work is compared with the great Italian sculptor. Some French people go so far as to say that Rodin is even greater than Michael Angelo. While in Paris the writer received a card which read as follows: Sous la presidence du Statuaire Auguste Rodin, less amis du Poete P. X. Roinard lui offrent tin banquet pour fetcr Papparition sc son volume : La Mort du Reve. The invitation afforded an opportunity to meet and study the famous soil] tor. Upon our arrival at the Hippo Palace we were presented to Roinard the poet, and a number of other noted men and women in the literary and artistic life of Paris. Immediately after the banquet, and preceding the speeches which followed, the writer had the pleasure of meeting Rodin. As our party comprised the only Americans present he extended to us an invitation to remain with him during the toasts. In appearance Rodin is a large, well-built man of sixty-three, with light hair and beard. His eyes are rather small, but full of expression. His nose is prominent, mouth large, and complexion florid. He has a soft voice and a certain timidity in manner and speech. In his studio Rodin wears a blouse that comes a little below his knees, similar to that worn by a French laborer. In private life he wears clothes that have no pretentions to elegance; if anything, just a trifle bourgeois.’’ From earliest childhood Rodin’s life was a continual strife and hardship. He applied for admission at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, but was refused. He then frequented Bary’s Class at the Museum, but fora very short time, for Bary was not an ideal teacher. Then in order to make his daily bread he worked for a maker of trade bronzes, thus becoming a laborer. Iti 1870 he went to Belgium, where he helped decorate the Bourse and several other buildings in Brussels. In 1S78 Rodin exhibited for the first time at the Salon a bust of Mine. X., to which no otic paid particular attention. I11 the next two years he exhibited John the Baptist Preaching,’’ John the Baptist, and the “ Age of Brass. i63 This was the beginning of his fame, but it came under rather curious circumstances. Certain parts of the “ Age of Brass” were so life-like that the jury thought it impossible for any sculptor, and especially one that they had never even heard of, to do such work. They accused Rodin of having moulded his statue from nature, but anyone with any pretense to intellect could see that the bronze was larger than life. Although some of Rodin’s artistic countrymen fairly worship him, there arc others who can find no excellence in him. The latter is true because he is so original and realistic, and has the strength and courage to do as lie pleases. He neither cares or notices eulogy or condemnation, as the history of his career demonstrates. CONTRIBUTED. TO PENNSYLVANIA. , All hail ! Our Pennsylvania !

M., May 14th, 1902, the members of 1904 could have been seen (but were not) hieing to the P. R. station, to take an outing at Valley Forge. All the members of the Class were there, and all were prepared to have a good time. In due time the 1904 “special “ stopped at the little station, and the members of the Class stepped upon the historic grounds of the noted Revolutionary encampment. Washington’s headquarters were visited first, and the array of relics of Colonial days was inspected and admired ; every room was explored, from the attic to the “cave,” and the latter rang again and again with the yells of 1904. The incidents related by the guide were eagerly listened to, and he was plied with questions by the inquisitive Sophs. An excellent dinner was then eaten, served by the lady members of the Class, after which the trip around the entrenchments was begun. As the Sophs strolled along the shady paths, and noted the places where the heroes of '76 threw up the earth into long lines of entrenchments, their hearts were filled with patriotic zeal, and in fancy they saw the hills of Valley Forge again covered with the huts of Washington's army, and remembered with a shudder the terrible sufferings which those noble heroes endured on these hills during the winter of 1777-1778. When Fort Washington was reached, the Class stopped and admired the ability and genius of the general who selected this site tor a fortification. This fort, although consisting only of embankments of earth, completely commanded the approach from Philadelphia, and the magnificent view which can be obtained at this point was much enjoyed. The line of entrenchments was then followed along the hills to the top of the steep descent to the Valley Creek Road. This descent was daringly accomplished by the members of the Class ; Brow 11 hack especially distinguished himself by gallantly aiding Miss Shade as she leaped from rock to rock.
