A NOTED SEHOOk THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF A NASHVILLE INSTITUTION WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR THE YOUNG MEN OF OUR COUNTRY. I You� tin N vsiivil.l.E ('intis’ll a x Anvocvn:. I T scorns hut :i sliort time since .Jennings' business College was established in our city, end vet such lias been it' progress that more than seven hundred 'indents, from eighteen state'and territories, have matriculated in it, and it i a well-known fact that ;it least ninety per cent, of these have secured good positions in this and other cities, some of them receiving salaries ranging from §1 tOO to §1,800 per annum. It. NY. Jennings. the founder and manager of donning' Husincss College. Nashville, was horn in Edgefield, S. C., in 18GS. where his father and grandfather r O had been raised. At the age of ixtecn lie commenced clerking in a retail store, and in 1855- nG he became book-keeper for the Irion Manufacturing Company, at ’frion. tla. In January, lSoT. he came to Nashville, and secured a position as book-keeper for the wholesale house of tJardnor A Cm. where lie remained until IStil, when lie entered the Planters Hank as book-keeper. In 18b-l lie filled an important posit ion w ith the great house of A. T. Stewart A Co.. New ork. where lie was directed to overhaul and examine into the hooks of that firm, running hack for a period of nineteen years. In 18(h) he was teller of the Kails City Tobacco Hank. Louisville. Kw, resigning this in December of that year to accept a partnership in the two firms of Kvan . Cardner A Co.. New ork. and Evans, Kite A Co., Nashville, the latter being the largest wholesale house which has ever been established in this city. Withdrawing from these firms in 1ST2, lie was until 1 's ' 1 the ,'cnior partner of the w Indesalc houses d denning', t loodhar A Co.. .Jennings. Eakin A Co.. Jennings. Dismukcs A Woolwine. and H. . Jennings A Co. Thus Mr. Jennings brings to lii work as a business educator the ripe experience of thirty years in actual business, lie teaches altogether from ex- perience. and draws his examples from the different sets of hooks lie has kept for twenty years. Krom personal knowledge of Prof. Jennings and his institution, we heartily endorse him and it without reservation.— Editor Ad vorate. Hi shop Me Tvcirc. a few months before lie died, was visited by t lie widow of a Methodist preacher, who asked his advice in regard to getting her son a position, lie told her to ••send him to Jennings Husincss College, that a certificate from K. Y. Jennings, recommending him for a situation, would be of more benefit to him than any other influence lie could have. r r A v-W'j THE -= Vol. IV =- Published by the Fraternities oe Y ikJorbilf University, NASHVILLE.

We expect Criticism; nevertheless, we trust that among our critics may he found those who. appreciating the work and trouble required to publish an an- nual, will give us credit for the etfort we have made, however poor the product may seem. In appearing regularly for throe years in succession, it might have been sup- posed that the Vanderbilt Oo.MUT had established beyond all doubt that it was a periodic one, with a periodicity of a year, but so long, during the session of issjl-fK). was the least sign of uch a body invisible in the Vanderbilt heavens that even the most koen-eved observer could not catch the faintest glimmer of its tail. • O and the most hopeful of prophets had almost eeased to hope. Yet still were there left a few w ho, trusting in the correctness of their calculations, predicted a Cu.m kt for iM . When the fraternities heard the rumor that a Comet, whose path lav in our heavens, was approaching with a velocity sufficient to make it visible here in 1X! 0. though still doubting the reliability of the prediction, tliev ap- pointed their editors, and instructed them to see il the calculations were correct, and to make careful observations. Kven after consulting with those who had predicted a return of the CoMET, Some of the editors were still doubtful: but those who had made the prediction contended yet more stoutly that their ealcu- ( lations were correc t, and when the more timorous editors saw that a Comet was reallv going to materialize, they lied, leaving their instruments in the hands of others. Now that the t Mi i ««I !M) is sure to he visible, even to the naked eye. it is to he hoped that it' brightness shall tint be so dazzling as the one of 1887. whose after-glow even, made such a deep and lasting impression upon the pocket-hook retina of those who were nearest it. that till now they have not entirely recovered. Although the (' Mi l of 1M) has not followed exactly the same orbit as those that have come before, still we hope that its eccentricity, if it vary appreciably, has lost nothing to the Comet, but rather increased its worth and stability by the variation. It has been our endeavor to give a fair account of the doings at Vanderbilt. o o and if we have succeeded in making them interesting we shall fee! amply repaid for the time and labor spent in publishing this volume. If between the covers of this book, any individual feels his toes trodden upon, we hope he w ill • acknowl- edge the corn, and remember that it i' his fault, not ours that the corn is there. Some we have hit because we liked them: others we have hit because we did not like their way so well: but in no case have we exaggerated purposely, or tried to be too one-sided. Before closing we would like to speak a word in behalf of our advertisers, who. we fear, have been heretofore to� � much neglected. It should be remem- bered that without their assistance the Comet could never appear, and we trust that the students will not forget to patronize their patrons. William Bofland Dudley. M. D. C! K. WILLIAM LOLLAND DCDLLY. whose picture is seen on the opposite page, was horn in Covington, Kv.. April 16, 1859. lie followed a special course in chemistry and the natural sciences at the Cni versi ty of Cincinnati, after which lie was appointed first demonstrator of Chemistry 1879-’80, then Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology 1880- 86, at Miami Medical College, Cin- cinnati. In 1886, he was elected to the chair of Chemistry in Vanderbilt Cni- versity, Nashville. Dr. Dudley was Commissioner of the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition 1883-’85, and Director of the Ohio Mechanics' institute, 188-1 ‘86. He is a member of several scientific societies, and although a young man, he is already well known among scientists. He has made an enviable reputation through his success in producing Iridium. In conjunction with John Holland, of Cincinnati, he devised a process for obtaining this metal, and consequently its application in the arts has been greatly extended. Through his work the electro- metallurgy of Iridium has been principally developed. Dr. Dudley has published scientific papers in various journals, and wrote the article Iridium, in • Mineral Resources of the I nited States. I le was Vice-President.of the section of Chemis- try of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in 1889, and delivered, at the Toronto meeting, an able address on the ‘’Nature of Amalgams. ' O In 1889, he was appointed State Chemist for the State of Tennessee. Dr. Dud- ley was one of the chemists appointed bv Cleveland in 1886 to inspect the I nited States Mint at Philadelphia, in the lecture-room Dr. Dudley is pre-eminently popular, and has the rare faculty of investing his subject with an interest arising from an appreciation among his students of his skill as an experimenter and ability as a lecturer. Dr. Dudley has won the respect of the students not onlv 2 8 in the class-room, but more than that, he has always shown such true interest in their affairs that they always look upon him as their friend, lie has ever been ready to encourage ami support all their undertakings, and has so identified him- self with the Athletic and Tennis Associations, of both of which he is President, that they, especially the latter, chiefly owe their rise and success to his efforts. Hoping that in this way we may in some degree show the appreciation of the student body for his constant support of and genuine interest in their undertak- ings. we give this sketch of his life and work. o’ n 9 Hoard of Trust OF— «- Vanderbilt University -� Bishop .1.

HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS. ■ [1ST ;is the .sultrv heat ut' summer was beginning to abate, ami the cool, ' refreshing nights of September testified that Old S � 1 had loosened liis grip upon this portion of the earth and was going to make it lively for our brethren of the other hemisphere for a while: just as the school-boy was awaken- ing from that torpor caused by this too vivid realization of the terrors of another region, and was beginning to recuperate and to enjoy life a little: just as nature had ceased to torment him. 1 say. and he had begun to feel that life is really worth the living, his happiness was most wofully blasted by his fellow-man : for with the summer heat had passed away his vacation, and now he was compelled to return to that tyrannical but time-honored enemy of the infantile world, the school. Hut such was not the case of the hero of this chronicle, lie had wrestled with the school-master long and well, and had finally, after years of struggle, overcome his antagonist and left the hateful institution of that tyrant forever, or at any rate, only to return as its master to wield the ruler himself, and to terrify the mischievous small-boy with his frown. In other words, he had made a rise in the world. lie was about, to go to the university, there to have a good time playing base-hall ami tennis, tumbling summersets in the gymnasium, or perhaps mingling in the social gaieties of a large city. So led on by these pleasing delusions, a crowd of gav and festive youths met on tin campus of tin Vanderbilt about the middle of September of the year of our Lord, 1SS!� . They came from every section of the South, from the rocky valleys of East Tennessee, from the level plains of Texas, from the enterprising State ol (ieorgia, from the pine forest of North Carolina, and they were to be united by a bond of brotherly affection into one harmonious whole, to be dcsig- 7 O mated the Freshman ('lass of ‘9.5. After sonic preliminary skirmishing with the Board of Examiners tin- names of those that were not completely overcome were enrolled upon the college regis- ter, and tlicv at once submitted themselves to a course of training for the great • O O fight to take place in .January. But if this preliminary work was not altogether to their liking, if they had expected to play and were made to work, at least be it said to the credit of the Faculty, that the Freshmen always bad plenty of the latter occupation to keep them busy, and if any member of the class ever bad any leisure it was not the fault of that august body. So when the encounter came oil' they were all entirely victorious, except a few who perished in the fray. But although this battle had been won so gloriously b the class, they could not afford to be idle. They saw before them, with their sharpened vision, a much more serious contest, and they began to fear greatly for their personal safety, so that in order to secure this blessing to all they resolved to organize themselves into one systematic whole, so as to present to the enemy a more solid and unbroken front. This they did in the first part of February, 90. choosing for their commander Mr. K. K. Morgan, who. by bis gallant conduct in the former engagement, had showed himself competent to marshal the forces. The final battle i now approaching; indeed, it is near at hand, but we fear not. What, with the rigid drill we have been through: what, with our natural ability, for the Freshmen always were a bright class, and the present Freshmen feel convinced that they are exceptionally so (and who knows more about them than themselves, I’d just like to know ; so who is best capable of judging V); but, above all. what with the wholesome diet provided for them by their several board- ing houses, and, for the enlightenment of the general public, which is not sup- posed to know much about such matters, it nia he here stated that this is selected so as not to draw the student's attention from the ctherial pleasures of the mind to the more substantial ones of the table, and thus at the same time to economize both the landladies' cash and the time that the student would otherwise lose at his meals, the latter being of course tin most important consideration—indeed, we only mention the first out of the desire to be exact: what, with all these advantages over the enemy, I say, cun we fail to have a most glorious victory ? We leave the answer of this |iiestion to the reader, knowing that he is too intelligent Jo answer in the negative: but should he feel the slightest doubt as t•� O “ c tin result of the fray, we would just ask him to keep his eve upon us, for truly it has been said that seeing is believing. 20 Freshman Class (?oem.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY. f I was inv pleasure, a few weeks ago, to find in a neglected alcove of the 'J Library. the histories of all the classes that have existed since the establish- ment of the I niversitv. They are all of the same spirit, written under the inspiration of the same sorrowful muse; thev tell of the disciple of learning crouching beneath the strokes of his master, or of the great biennial battles be- tween students and the Faculty. It is with no slight degree of pleasure that I can write the history of a class whose career has been far otherwise—a class that has broken awav from the superstition and slavery of the past, and entered into the sunlight of intellectual freedom and development. The members of the present Sophomore class are very precocious, the average age being about fifteen. (It was a few years ago when I investigated the matter.) They have all the mental alertness common to youthful minds, with the addition that they have a great deal more than is usually allotted to human beings. An evidence of this fact is the brilliant record that they have made. The hardest lessons have been dismissed with a casual glance, and examinations have been - .•) :i source of aimisemcnt rather than depression of spirits. The Faculty, recog- nizing the fact early in the session, began to give much longer lessons, and, as thev thought, much harder examinations, and still they couldn’t “bust us, for “P5 was the lowest mark made on Intermediate. They then came to the con- clusion that they were dealing with a supernatural set of human beings, and decided that something had to he done. One day the professor in Greek, chuckling in his sleeve, announced that in a few days e would take up the Seventh Hook of Thucydides—“the nr tins ultra of human art. The professor of English Literature, seeing that Joining's Rhet- oric couldn't even amuse us, went up into his 1 Diversity Department and brought down numerous philological volumes for us to study. 1 he professor of Mathe- matics, usuallv very reticent in his laudations of individuals or classes, declared that he had never seen anything equal to it in all his eventful life, that the poorest fellow in our class was better than his old friend Downer, and that we should consider ourselves promoted to Junior Math., which would only he a station on the road to Math.-heaven. The other professors did likewise, hut all to no avail. On April l’ . at a call-meeting of the Faculty, the class was dismissed from further duties in the University till they should get some new course of study from Leipsic. W e were allowed, however, to remain on the Campus , to have free access to the Library, were often invited to dinners and teas given by the professors in honor of the “geniuses, and five of us were elected to seats at “The Round 'fable. a select few of Nashville's most accomplished scholars. All this time the relations between professors and students have been the most pleasant. As a token of the love which we have for them, not a one of all our large number appeared before them in the last eonrour to speak on the perils that threaten the perpetuity of American institutions or the destiny of the human race. On the other hand, they have talked of us. written of us. and challenged the world to produce our equals, and every time they meet us they pull off their hats. As a matter of course, the great amount of leisure time that we have had has enabled us to pursue any study or amusement that we should like. We have gotten out a Greek play, and, although we have acted it in only a few cities, in- 2 4 citations have come to us from the remotest regions. We have been forced to decline main of these, but we have accepted one, which we think wortliv of men- tion. l rof. Gladstone, a noted Homerie scholar, lias offered to pay our expenses to London if we will act in that city, assuring us that our receipts will 1m so great that we can make a tour t«� Egypt, the land of tin Nile. We have also developed into several distinct classes. There is the society man. to whom the doors of Nashville's elites!- are thrown wide, and who often leads a “german or forms one of a box-party at tin Vcndome. We have the athletic man. who. on last field Day, at a very exciting part of the game, jumped hventy feet into the air. and caught a lly with two lingers of his left hand. Our humorous man was reared on the ranches of 'Pexas, and has developed into a great genius, whose lectures are listened to by attentive thousands, and whose fame has gone throughout the civilized terra tirma. Our porter, in the capacity of bell-ringer and room-sweeper, is following in the steps of some of the greatest men of the past, and will some day stand on the dizzy heights of fame.

Whatever they are, they are to the fullest extent. At the first of the year there was one fellow from Arkansas, with moss still on his back, who looked through a telephone to find a star invisible to his own eye. but even he has become a cultured, polished student like the rest of us. This class, as the reader will have observed before now, has made the most brilliant record ever made here, but great as is their present glory, my eyes arc dazzled with the vision of their future victories. Other historians will tell of their achievements in science, literature, and art. and it is my hope that in col- lecting the memoirs of these illustrious men. this tribute to their college work may Im selected, and thus my name be transmitted to posterity. is (he only hope I hove.

H COLONY of industrious, peace-loving men. who had become sick at the tales of courage related by their ancestors, set out late in the year 1887 to find a place adapted to the cultivation of the arts of peace. Thinking that a miner's life was farthest removed from the din of battle and noise of war, they decided to settle in the then sparsely-settled village of Vanderbilt, which is sit- uated in a beautiful forest filled with all manner of trees, on the left bank of the Cumberland river. This place had become famous for the abundance of its mineral wealth: and besides, there resided here continually some venerable men who had made a special study of the arts of mining. It was even rumored that some of these men had gone to a foreign country, and had there learned the most skillful methods of using the augur—the miner's most useful tool. There are numerous spurs on the side of the mountain Lehrung, at the base ot which the village is situated. The three most important of these, owing to the value ot their ore, are called Ars, Scientia, and Lit era. ()f these, the latter is usually considered to 1m the easiest to penetrate with the miner's tools, owing to the absence of a phenoininally hard stone, called Mathium, found in great 30 iibuiidiincc in the other two. Also, ponies can he uscil to gt advantage in bringing the ore to the surface. A description of tin mines worked he our colony in 1889-'90 in the liill Ars will suffice to give the readers a knowledge of the work done as well as the meth- ods by which it is carried on. The mines have been given names as ;i convenience to the colonists, though perhaps not according to scientific principles. Mine No. 1. in hill Ars. is called Latinum. The work is superintended by a very skilled miner. The product, although of great value is of little use, except in the manufacture of ornaments. Only one of our colonists, besides the man- ager. worked in this mine, inasmuch as pony labor was found to be far more profitable than human. Ihe second mine is called (inccum. The product of this is very similar to that of the former. There is a kind of antique appearance about it. Although a vast number of roots were encountered while tunnelling in. still the mine is r? 7 very smooth. The manager i' an agreeable little gentleman, and fond of relat- ing his experiences with an aged miner called Thukididcs, whom he seems to have met while an apprentice in some foreign land. The same kind of labor is employed in this as in the former mine, except that two men arc engaged instead of one. The next mine, (lermanum, i' superintended by a gentleman who seems to be perfectly at home in hi' business, but impresses one as being rather too mettle- some. lie is rather easily excited, and is never just quite satisfied with the work done. The mine, however, is well worked, and the product is very valuable. nglicum, the fourth mine, furnishes a very interesting study. There are many legends respecting the discovery of tin- peculiar mineral found in it. which to sat- isfy the curiosity of visitors the manager has carefully traced hack as far as possible. The mine itself appears very shaky at the entrance, but at the other extremity the mineral, pure and simple, is found. We now come to the mines considered most important by the council of man- ager'. The first of these is usually called Philosophum, hut just at the entrance it is divided ditchotomically into two sub-mines, called Psycho-Logicum, and. Lodicum. The former of these is rather difficult to work, and requires nerve ami energy. There was found lots of very hard material, which gave the work- men much trouble. A pick-axe. made of rare metal, called Intellect, was first used. Although these axes could he made very sharp, still a stone was found which could not he penetrated by them. However, this stone was removed by the use of a verv powerful explosive called Will. After passing through this stone a dark cavern was found, where one could only proceed hy feeling his way. This cavern was found to contain a grayish looking substance, from which could he extracted a very super-sensible entity called Psuchc, having neither volume nor magnitude, and only capable of occupying the space of a mathematical point. The other sub-mine, in the opinion of the manager, produced the most element- arv of all substances, called ” Pure Thought. Innumerable difficulties were continually impeding the progress of the workmen. Contradictory opinions were held as to the best method of procedure, and owing to the lack of restric- tion. the proper method was lost in the incompossibility of infinitation. At length all the available tools having been tried, and none proving effectual to penetrate further inti tin intensely hard stone which lay in the way, the mana- ger remcmbeicd an augur, which he had made himself, of a material no longer in O O “ existence, which was guaranteed to pierce the hardest substance. lie brought it forth; and since the difficulty of the work required the skill of an expert, he decided to do the boring himself. It is needless to say that an entrance was effected. The next mine is Physicum, and is the most intricate of all. It is full of machinery. At one place the ore is elevated over an inclined plane by means of a series of fixed and movable pulleys attached to a windlass, to which is attached an engine. When the ore has been brought to the surface, it is purified by the application of intense heat. Phis mine is lull ol hideous sounds, caused for the most part, as some think, by the machinery being run without sufficient oil. It is beautifully lighted bv electricity. I he last mine is ('hemistrum. a place full of noxious gases and fumes, which attack the eves and excite the olfactories, rendering the work very difficult and .•) - dangerous. Onlv :i fe w had their eves ruined, hut some were killed outright hv the deoxidi .ation of hemaglobin, owing to the presence of (’(). Many caught a whiff of fumes of lire and brimstone, while one poor lad, who innocently pock- eted a stick of phosphorus for candy, was very seriously burned, for. to bis astonishment, his candy caught lire of it- own accord. Implosions are prevented by the use of Davy's safety lamp. The colonists, of course, prosecute their work on strictly economic principles, and have a skilled man superintending this interest also, lie is to see that there is a proper division of labor, and that capital is equitably distributed. He form- ulates rules to govern demand and supply, to regulate the tariff, and to suppress monopolies; investigates all strikes: teaches the proper use of inonev.and exer- cises a general supervision over the business of the whole colony. Perhaps the reader can now form an estimate of what troubles and tribula- tions worrv the life of the .Junior. )f course some of them are verv distinguished miners. The business is very profitable, and the company w ill be able to declare a dividend at the close of the year, utiles- the heat of dune causes some explosion in the mines. M totae junior Poem. IIE youthful stripling from his homestead conics. •x And. trembling, waits for words of welcome die. r ; .■ - Though many knock, vet none but chosen ones. That cross the line of sixty, enter here. A Freshman first, ami then a Sophomore, Thus full two years of Innl and faithful work : lie then ranks with the noble Junior corps. With many heavy tasks, yet none must shirk. His life a mixture is of many parts. Of recitations, chapel, hall, and gym.; And many other varied things, the arts of which are understood bv none but him. And strong and bright the hopes w ithin him rise. Nor does he doubt his star, though others may : He lives in thought that through his fancy flies. And in ti.is rhyme I give his thoughts away. As so sweetly sings the songbird In the early days of spring. So my guardian angel w hispers Hopes that future days n ay bring. lie gazes on the picture of his girl, And views the past, the future bright for him. Should she prove true to him and never hurl His hopes to dust: and thus his thoughts to him. And I love thee, 0 my darling. And thy face appears to me In the lire light, in my dreaming; Throughout all eternity Thou shall be my inspiration, Prompting nobler deeds and things; Thy sweet smile is moiv to me Than worldly wealth or life of kings. Thou excel lest all in beauty When I look into thine eyes, bright and changing, now reflecting Bluest blue Italia's skies. When thou art near and from me hidden. Yt t thy gentle presence there I'louts in waves of gathering power As from some sweet fragrance rare. And I love thee, O my darling. Kv’rv heart-throb is for thee, And thy presence ever thrilling, Sweetheart mine, t is love for thee. And then the added years of wisdom bring True words to guide him on a rightful road. And all his better feelings to him sing i i happiness in deeds for others’ good. “ Lite is real, life is earn� st,” Saith a poet known to fame, And the crowns of life but reach us Through honest work and sharpest pain. Bright the future, bright forever Is the soul so ruled to be. Strong and faithful, brave and cheerful, I 'nder greatest misery. Should you feel the blame of others, In utter innocence of wrong. Then be happy, clear of conscience. In thine own belief be strong. Have ideals high and noble, Strive lo reach them in life's span ; Do not seek the world's approval— Live in fear of (iod, not man. When the mind is marked by beauty, Showing high and noble thought. Then in eye and face we see it Kvcry mood or plan is caught. If the soul within be joyful. Then the world without is bright, I'or happiness depends on us. And we see reflected light. Though thou shouldst fall in evil moment, Brace thy heart for better things; Man is mortal, flesh is yielding, Rise, then, till true metal rings. Though the work of life's unfinished, Perhaps across the mystic land There’s a future there awaiting The final touch at thy command. Have thy dreams, O gentle youth, They are as the buds of flowers; Make them noble, and thy dreams May blossom forth with manhood's powers. Be a man in all thy actions. Ruled by noble courtesy: Lift thy heart from earthly trifles. Should they in thy pathway be. Be a man in all his glory, Be a man with will to dare. Be a man that fears no danger. Be a man—be that thy care. 37 £ rtr ass or OFFICERS. II It. Boni� , .... I� . A. V 11,1.1 A Ms, . . W. II. Hi i.mk, .1. W asiiinc ton Mooici:, O. V. M(,(.'o 'i::.i„ Vice Pnnilt'nt.

McTyeire (sometime dictator), being consuls, when entrance examina- tions were not such insurmountable objects as to be impassable save by a pitiable few. a gooilly band of youths entered the classic, halls ol anderbilt. radiant with bright hopes, filled with high aspirations, great expectations, and with the common interest of becoming Solomons, one and all. If these ideas were not wholly abandoned after the Intermediate q diet of the senior consul, we are sure they were when that Hi mil proclamation was issued, which proved to be the death sentence of more than one verdant Fresher. It is sad to chronicle how, during the next two vears, on the Latinium plains, and amidst the mountains of Griociana. and in the tangled forests near Matbville. r many a brave comrade fell, pierced b that death-dealing dart—Hunt : and how others equally as promising were hgsierd to death, while many more had such great, deep holes bored in them by the Anglican Augur, that their health became so impaired as to necessitate their return to the parental roof. Thus did our € ©m £§( number painfully diminish month by month, until finally, tin Hoard of Trust, fearing that there would be no graduating class in 1800. ordered the Faculty to stay its relentless hand, and spare the four remaining timid creatures, and even grant pardons to any who might wish to return. Only one dared to accept pardon on the proposed terms of twenty-two hours per week hard labor, daily attendance on lymnasium and Chapel (there to sing in the choir and sometimes pump the organ), laugh at all “ Leipsic and one gallus ' jokes, and many other hard and exacting conditions that would make the tasks of the mythical inhabitants of Hades seem like summer pastimes in comparison. The Senior 'lass, although only five in number, are granted by an huhihjin faculty, inunensr privileges. We arc VLl.OWKl� to stand every examination from weeklies up to finals, and are not robbed of a whole fortnight of our time at the end of the Session like Seniors in other colleges are. (I low we do nV those poor Seniors thus imposed upon.) Our professors love us so that they always must havens (or an excuse) present at every recitation, which is always protracted much beyond the dinner hour. Not being able to devote enough time to us during the day. some arc so kind as to hear recitations at night for ot k conven- ience. Since we are few in number we gracefully consent to sec our glossy tile adopted by the Pharmacy class. Thcologues. and many others, meekly hear the ejaculations from the street urchin of Where did you get that hat. and endure the contemptuous glare of other passers-by with Senioric indifference. At one time we attempted to put on a bold front In sprouting mustacliios, but the girls all got down in the mouth, so we severed our highly-prized appendages. Kvery man in the class of 90 is an officer, and can boast of the fact that this is the smallest class (in numbers) that has ever yet graduated here, and probably the smallest that will graduate till 1900, when we predict, if the standard keeps being raised, there will be no graduates, and it will be called the class of ’On. “ 7 O W e fully recognize now that we are nearing the thrcshhold of a great and unknown future. W hether the training received here in the last four years has fitted us to fight the battles of life successfully remains only to be seen. W’e assuredly have been broadened, both mentally and morally, and have had tin rough edges of prejudices and self-conceit worn smooth, leaving, we hope, the TfSfclg 0© © (5$ 39 polished diamond that may sonic day sparkle and shim in pulpit, forum, or in literature, causing the names that have been enrolled in the history of the class of ’90 to be conspicuous on the pages of a nation's history. That there are men in the class of ’90 who will ever take their place in the front rank as standard- bearers of truth, morality, and justice, and of whom their alma mater may have just cause to be proud, is the prophecy � l the 11ISTOKI N of '90. 4° enamor o oam,a r KNOW what’s hid in futuro years. Outrun Old Time with plodding pare. And reach life’s goal of joy or tears. Desire of this has marked the race Of man in every age. King Saul Of old could not in patience wait. But hade the witch to lift the pall. And bring him face to face with fate. The soldier and the statesman went With eager hope to Delphic shrine.

And seize the fruit of present day. We boast of progress now, and smile oYr childish ways of ancient times: Vet Madame Flrich doth beguile Our youths and maidens with her rhymes. And lain would I propitiate The Three that fix man’s destiny. And learn from them what lots await The Firs, in days that are to be. My prayer is heard, and I behold Five players on a splendid stage ; nd all are clad in “ Black and Gold. And playing in a golden age. The play is Life, a mingled plot, Grotesque and tragic, grave and gay ; I mg years, wild hopes, and passions hot. Compressed into one-twelfth of day. The program reads, ' Bond, I Inline and Moore, McConnell, Williams. We are live, Surpassed by none in classic lore. The greatest of all men alive. Hal Bond doth speak three languages.

Tn § V T mi� rlit be more to the credit of the Vanderbilt Athletic Association to have Tiik Comet pass over in silence its Fifth Annual Field Day, which was held on May 2. 1890. But Tub Comet is not the book in which victories alone must be recorded. n its pages are to be found the records of the doings at Vanderbilt, and to make that record complete the first page of defeat must not be left blank. Vanderbilt justly feels proud in being the first Southern College to have a regulariv organized Athletic Association and t hold a Field Dav for athletic O •' O r sports. We still are the only college in Tennessee that gives an annual Field Day. in whose sports all colleges are allowed to enter. Although no other colleges in Tennessee hold an inter-collegiate athletic con- test, there are others besides Vanderbilt where athletics are developing rapidly and well. In the contests of the first two Field Days (188(1 and 1887) Vander- bilt lost not a single event. Clarksville was the first to carry medals away from anderbilt, the Parkers winning in high jumping. This first defeat of Vanderbilt seemed to give an impetus to athletics at the other colleges of Tennessee, for in the fourth annual Field Day sports there were entries from four colleges besides Vanderbilt. And in this year (1889) Vander- bilt lost five out of the fourteen events. In the results of the first four Field Days was plainly revealed the fact, that athletics among the colleges of Tennessee were making rapid progress: and in seeing that for which she had been laboring to at last become realized, Vander- bilt truly rejoiced. I he fact that other colleges were gradually becoming dan- gerous opponents in athletics did not disturb Vanderbilt, for no danger was foreseen so long as the base ball nine had not lost a single game on their own grounds. I he result of the Field Day of 90 shows that Vanderbilt can no i ■?,y t A 7° longer rest on her laurels won in tin past. Not only were six of the thirteen events won by other colleges, but tin- home team lost the game of base ball to the Cumberland University nine. Moping that the defeats of this year will tend to raise the standard of college athletics, both at Vanderbilt and the other colleges of Tennessee, the editors f The Comet of 00, with a feeling of remorse and with a tear of shame, chronicle the first defeat on Field Day of the Vanderbilt base ball nine for live consecutive years. literary and Scientific o roani atioqs IV 73 TIip Dialectic Litpr rv Society. f IIK 1 ialoctit- Society lias had excellent success (luring the past year, not • having made a single assessment, mintbib’ •lidu.

All elections have been carried on in a very quiet manner. T is true there have often been cast two or three more votes than there were members present, and the ballot often had to be thrown out on this account, but not counting a small thing of this sort, there has been little excitement even in elections. Besides, this is good practice for our law students. The Society has discussed many important questions, from “ When I Was in Leipsic,' to the World's Fair. Kaeh member was instructed to take one of the world s fair to sec the field sports, and the Society has decided to get a little When 1 Was in Leipsic, for a dime and plant it in the English room. We have been visited by many of the professors. All who came seemed to enjoy the exercises very much. I r. Smith has attended more regularly than any other professor. He has been there one time. I lie Dialectic elected seventeen men to speak to the f aculty on the day of the ” concour, with instructions to speak not less than fourteen minutes. Thev seem to have done their duty well, for one of the professors had a hole bored in his pants, which revealed the stern reality that many were called but few chosen. Dl course we won the Annual Debate. We extend our sympathies to the Philosophic. We also secured five out of the eight contestants for the medals. 71 According to precedent we appointed a cominittee to see the Faculty about meeting at night, and advise with them about how best to approach the Hoard of Trust, in regard to tin matter. The committee reported that the Hoard would have to pay a little more insurance, that they feared the Society would disturb Jacob in his studies, and that the boys might set fire to the building and the Pharmaceutical Ihpartment he destroyed.

She was born November 19th, 1887. At her birth all the wise men of the Last — Leipsic—came with cinnamon, myrrh, and sweet incense to pay tribute to this w onderful child. The most famous of these wise men of Leipsic were two 1 1� . 1 . s, (’harlerius Posterius Smythe and Wilhelm Machiavelli Uaskervill, who stood sponsors for the newly-born. It was decided to christen her after the Pontifex Maximus, Chanccllcrius (iarlander, who, when informed of the liberty taken with his cognomen, said : “Most potent, grave, and reverend seniors! would that ye had spared me this, until my terrestrial existence had ended, for deterio- ration is written upon all things sublunary. Notwithstanding this ill-omened utterance, the Pontifex spread many sumptuous feasts in her honor. At an early age she was led to the altar by one Sanderson, a barbarian noted for his intense hatred for the Greeks and all tilings (irecian. Many little barbarians was the result ol this union. As a mother she was faithful and true to the little hopefuls intrusted to her charge: she, in accordance with the behests of her lord, forbade her children ever to associate with the n ecks, and especially those of a sly and secret disposition. Nothing have I said in secret, was the motto and guiding star for her children. In spite of all her precautions against secrecv, “ pointers.” and scheming, her children were given to • ways that are dark and tricks that arc vain. Her spirit became sorely vexed. (Jricf and sorrow sat heavily upon her: her grinders ceased, and the daughteis of music were brought low. It is gratifying to her surviving children to know that her departure to a more con- genial clime was shrouded in mystery, and no man knoweth of her sepulchre unto this day. 8 Her last days were saddened by the scattering of her children to the font winds of the earth. The greatest of all her sorrows, and the one that broke hei heart, was the loss of her lord's heart which was stolen away from her by a fait (I reek maiden. There remained Mct'arn. the wag, and Dixon, the fat. oil man of dod. to comfort her, but like Rachael of old, she refused to be com forted. and died forlorn and forsaken and of a broken heart.

' At the last regular meeting there were in attendance the janitor, one of the four appointed speakers, and two pharmacy students. It was borne into our midst on auspicious winds: it grew fora vtrij short while, and even flourished and promised to bring forth much good fruit: but the soil into which it was transplanted proving to be an unhealthy one—being filled with thorns, noxious growth, pharmacy students, and other trash — it was choked out of a prosperous career, and after lingering through an ephemeral existence of six or eight meetings, it began to wither away, and will soon lie numbered with the snows of winter before last and the Darland Lyceum.

S.'s ugliness in comparison with that of other mens': it is absolutely beyond everything of its nature in existence. It has no President, no Treasurer, no rules, and, of late, no members. It is run without encouragement and without money, and it is dying without a struggle. Its meetings were held at first weekly, then bi-weekly, then ijuarterly. and recently—not at all. The last regular meeting, which was held in March, was adjourned sine die, and all signs point toward it having adjourned to die. N I j VANDERBILT ENGINEERING CLUB. OFFICERS.

Professor of the Modern Languages and Literatures in Vanderbilt University. DIED OCTOBER 3. 1889. S() r 711K Literary Committee of Tiik (’omit lias eliosen us to “write up The a Hustler. Whatever else may be said of that «committee, it shows good taste in the selection of subjects, commendable generosity in assigning them to others, excellent judgment and extreme laziness in not doing its own writing. Perhaps Tiik Comkt editors thought that they would get a humorous article from us. lint unlike the poet, we were not only born but made, and we are not humorists by birth, nor have we become such by education or inclination. Present circumstances, however, seem to force us to attempt something funny. “ Needeessitv is the mother of convention. We therefore take courage. In addition we take time, however scarce it may be. inasmuch as we feel now as we used to feel at the times devoted to our Soph. English parallel reading—we were too sleepy to do anything else. We (the editorial we) are tempted to adopt the policy of the young lover who. finding his girl sorry to see him come, determined to stav until she would hr glad O O i ' O to see him go. The only objection to this plan is that it might not work. ttesides we fear that such would result in failure anyway, for we have sat _all of us in the same chair) for an hour or more making a vain effort to prolong this production, or to produce a prolongation. The question is can anything new be said about ••The Hustler ’ It is fortunate that we are asked to write it up. To write it in any other direction would go against the grain. While casting about for some broad statement with which to begin this eulogy, we have settled upon the follow- ing: “The Hustler was the best, the most popular, newspaper ever published at Vanderbilt. This is undeniably true. The eagerness with which students perused their Hustlers on Saturday mornings attested its popularity, the enemies it made evidenced its honest, outspoken character.—its genuine worth. Only one 9° i � i ■ i r, � • I U. t I I volume of thirty-one numbers was issued, yet. according to the spoken and writ- ten testimony of its bitterest foes, its jokes (alone) would fill volumes. Probably they reason in this way. as a historical fact the first volume was filled with jokes, and if a second is ever published the same jokes will fill it. As a matter of fact these critics were the subjects of the jokes: these would-be prophets enjoyed tin hits, and then, and hbt till then, pronounced them chestnuts. Another critic, somewhat less severe, thought the paper filled with advertisements. The two criticisms are manifestly contradictory since two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. The two could exist together only in the cranium of the critic, for two gases act towards each other as a vacuum. We would whisper into the ears of the Annual that, from a pecuniary point of view at least, advertise- ments form wonderfully interesting matter. If its publishers will take this hint they may escape having a negative dividend on hand, and in this respect resem- ble the Hustler Publishing Company. Now that The Hustler has run its course, now that its record is forever ami un- changeably made in ldack and w hite, we may look over our file and note the charac- ter of the work done. The editorials were clear-cut. fearless, conscientious. The true interests of the 1’niversity and the students were aimed at. The locals were fre-h. the •• 11 usilings were varied, the “(ieneral College News ' was instructive and entertaining, the All Sorts were appropriately named. West Pud Church was built. In all cases the advocates of both sides of a jucstion were hoard fully and freely. Reports of anniversaries, orations, debates, etc., were impartial and complete. The “ annual farce, the promenade, was denounced. The white plug hat was placed in the archives. The Hustler's candidate for P . I . was elected. It was through its columns that the students first made the ac |iiaint- ance of the now famous Jell' McCain. The slightest dishonesty on examinations was condemned in the most unmeasured terms. The fighting editor (a committee of the whole had nothing to do in spite of the war-like aspect of the profes- sor of the I cm. No paper w as ever more original, ever made fewer clippings from other publications. Prom first t last the Hustler was an earnest advocate v we « � lo press i Iu- while plug reap|� c:irs. Kr . 01 of athletics, in fact The Hustler I Publishing Company and the Executive Com- mittee of the Athletic Association were about one ami the same thing. Its columns were monuments erected along the pathway of student life. Their inscriptions were meant to create and to foster college spirit, to encourage sober, serious thought, to brighten the face with a good-natured smile, to warn and guide as best they could. At Christmas time their prophetic fingers pointed hopefully to a century hence. Ever and anon they caught and reflected the strag- gling campus sunbeams. They never knew the dark lines of care save when the ldack drapery of death hung upon them to tell the story of our loss, the departure of our President. The emblem of mourning is gone and now they stand glisten- ing in the steady light of memory. Thev stand unabashed and fearless, inviting inspection. They stand as models of purity and chastity in journalism. They stand to testify to honesty of purpose. t uprightness of motive. The pictures of the editors are not painted there; no statues stand guard : nor even do any names appear. Rut the workers on The Hustler have within them a sense of duty done, and others must give them credit for having wrought a labor of love.

Remembering that a great deal depends upon how a thing is labeled, he asks space in The Comet, not for an article on tin Law Department, but for one on the Law Class. It is not with any special desire to be either funny or sarcastic that this article is written, but it is written that the writer may. in a slight degree, express his high esteem for the Law Class and its professors. I he Law Class is said to be better this year than it probably ever was before. This is perfectly natural, taking into consideration what was done by the Hoard of Trust last year for the Law Department. The new and handsome building, the full Library, the very ellieient corps of teachers, and last, but not least, the fact, that it is severed from the contaminating influences of the Pharmaceutical, Theological. o o and Literary Departments, show at a glance that the class must necessarily im- prove. Any one. or even two, of these departments could constitute no impedi- ment to the Law Department, Imt the trio was rather too much for it. They allowed scarcely anv space for expansion, only one little room in the south wing of the main building. This was not enough for some of our members to stand in, much less grow eloquent in a heated legal argument. Since the retirement of Chancellor Allison and the succession of Col. Malone to his place, the three original lecturers of the department are now holding forth. 1 lie stern and rigid Laxter continues to tell his marvelous tales about the amount of hard work a busy lawyer has to do. his great accomplishments in New 'l ork. the number of cases he has before the Supreme ’ourt in Washington, the 13 96 number ol subject mutters be bus on liuiul (which. bv tin- wav. have increased two thousand since the beginning of tin session). In other words, the writer is trying to make you understand his talcs smack slightly of fish. However, he finalh conies down to business and utterly demolishes, by severe criticism, some uniortunutc student s Moot Court papers, upon which the young lawyer lias labored hard and faithfully with the expectation of high compliments. Instead. Baxter says: ”1 have examined the papers in the case of ------------ vs.------, opinion by .Mr. ------. lie has a good opinion, few clerical errors, but he has written it upon a point of law not in any way connected with the case.’ A man never speaks but once of tin spirit ami genius of American liberty before Baxter. Baxter s frown is sufficient. The student feels contented after- wards if he has handled the legal points involved in his case with clear-cut logic minus oratory. Reese continues to be like an encyclopedia struck by lightning. He is eloquent, funny, witty and wise upon the legal questions presented in the study of the Constitution, of real property, and of domestic relations, his chosen sub- jects. He speaks know ingly on all subjects, had as soon talk to his class on the authorship of Junius' letters as on the law lesson. He especially scintillates with brilliancy on cold mornings when he has xlinmhtfed. Next is Malone, he is the laughing, a liable, and extremely polite Dean of the Law Department, and if it were not for tin theologues connected with The Co.Mr.T the writer would say that, to the student who has not thoroughly masti- cate'! and digested his lesson he is h Beware, boys, he is going to bust some of us at the close of the session. $ (5 97 Golored isdoii).

So fatal is this one, how- ever, that it lias always hindered true progress. The middle-age. moss- hack idea, that torment is an essential to the student's mental and moral develop- ment. seems to have so thoroughly become engrafted in the naturally depraved and prejudiced minds of fallen humanity that the only possible remedy for the matter would he to chop oil head, idea, and all. The so-called broad-minded men give most liberally of their wealth to pur- chase lar 'e and beautiful grounds, to erect handsome buildings and furnish them r? O 7 with all the apparatus needed for tin successful prosecution of all the various branches of science, and then true to the perversity of their nature, mar it all by turning loose upon these things what is known as the Faculty. Strange as it may appear, this evil is practiced throughout the length and breadth of our fair land. So far as inquiry has been made there is not a college in the whole country but is infected with this nuisance. When voung men come to our institution for the first time, the curious indi- •’ O viduals composing the Faculty, and called professors, meet them and ask them a great long rigmarole of questions. Of course, this is very embarrassing to these young gentlemen who are so far away from friends and loved ones. If tlie young men do riot see lit to gratify the curiosity of these inquisitive professors, they meet in secret council and decide that the noble youths who, for the love of knowledge have left home, must be returned to papa and mamma. Or, if per- chance they should be so considerate as to allow the students to enter, it is onl t � inflict upon them worse punishment still, for at regular intervals are they tor- tured with meaningless questions. If a student still shows an indisposition to satisfy the curiosity of the professors, he is gently informed that he is no longer needed in the institution. Thus on account of the insatial.de curiositv of the io4 Faculty is many a young man prevented from taking his degree. Alas, what an injury to education ! If young men are willing to make sucli a sacrifice as to leave home and go to tlu expense required to take a course in college, where is the necessity of sur- rounding them with a set of fellows who continually worry them with innumera- ble questions ' Mow happy would college days be were it not for these tormentors! Take them away and the student will no longer wear green goggles. What are these tormentors that are a curse to education and the cause of sore eyes ' They are a different order of animal from the regular human. Tliev resemble the genus homo. They walk like a man. They eat and sleep like two men. Their heads are shaped like a man s, also their hands, but their feet are without shape. They do not talk much like men. Their language seems to be a kind of mixture. Much of it sounds like things you read in books. Professors are not natives of this planet. Most of them here come from the planet Leipsic, which is of system Germanus. Coming from other spheres they do not feel themselves bound by any of our laws, physical, mental, or moral. Vet they are none the less careful to execute the laws with regard to the student's. Every Wednesday the chief reminds them of the By-laws, and warns them to beware lest they enter the theater or cut the Gym. The Faculty can go to the Gym. when it suits their convenience. The students must go with regularity, else they become weak of body and dull of mind. The professors don’t have to do any mental work. That is not the way they acquire knowledge. They already know it. Professors are born, not made. Morally and religiously they arc not bound to conform to tin laws of this sphere. They don’t have to pray, hence they don’t attend chapel. But the poor students must feed their souls, else they perish. Not only are they bound to go to chapel, but « 1 their number are appointed spies to watch and report any who may fail to do their duty. Considering how foreign professors are to this planet, and seeing what bail examples they set the students, it is evident that it is a great mistake to sufter them to remain in our institution. If it is absolutely necessary to have instruc- tion in our university, by all means give us human beings. 105 1. Dodson's ki l gets on a tear, Raises (Jain ami pulls his hair. 11.

And in those days it came to pass that there came unto Vanderbilt a multitude from out the mountains round about Nashville: -• 1' rom a place called Sewanec. which mav be likened unto a great bra - • • O gart which protendeth much, vet doeth little. d. I hey came forth that they might show unto tin- world the mightv works that were in them, for there were gathered unto Vanderbilt. at that time, people from all the countries round about, 1. And games were held, and the winners of the prizes had their names noised abroad and thev gained much renown. 5. And when the were come unto Nashville, straightway thev proceeded unto the place called Vanderbilt, and from there they hastened unto a place called ••Tennis I rounds. where a game was played which requireth much skill. 0. But verily, they had no skill for they won not a single game. 7. And when they saw that their skill had departed from them, they were vexed sorely and said one among another : 8. • Wherefore have we no skill to-day r ' Let us pray unto the Lord for the skill that we have not. for verily, we have other games to play wherein much more skill shall be needed. 9. nd now it was noon, and others went and ate and drank and were filled, but they ate not. but spent their time in fasting and praying that skill might be granted unto them. 10. And in the afternoon when the hour of two was come much people were gathered together at the base ball park where other games were played. 1 1. There was had running and jumping and putting of the shot, with divers other games. Tfi 119 12. Ami men from Sewanee ran ami jumped, and did put the shot; 13. But they did not jump nor put the shot far enough, neither did they run fast enough. 14. And it was said by the people, gathered together in that place, that •Sewanee was • in the soup, lo. And verily it did seem so, for when they were come to the game called ••base ball” and Sewanee had come to the ••bat,” they struck at the ball and hit it not, but sawed the air in twain. hi. And when they saw these things they marvelled, and said one unto another, 17. “llowbeit that we strike at these balls and touch them not‘f 1 what is that great Millington possessed that he doth curve the ball so that we can judge them not ? ” 18. (And Taylor and Millington were for an enigma unto them, for they understood not their ways). 1! . And when they were come to the “ bat they seemed poor in spirit. 20. And the women who had come down from out the mountains with them yelled, and the men brayed, that their spirits might be aroused. 21. But verily they were not. for their spirit had departed from them, and they made not one score even oftenor than Vanderbilt made eight. 22. And when the even was come and others again ate and drank and were filled: 2d. Again they ate not, hut continued steadfastly fasting and praying, for there was still to he a contest in oratory wherein much skill and spirit was to be needed. 24. And in the evening when the sun was set and the hour of eight had come, the people round about gathered together unto a place called the ‘ Capitol wherein were to speak men from Clarksville, and from Vanderbilt and from Sewanee. even two from each. 25. And the one gaining unto himself most honor for his good speaking was to he rewarded with a medal of gold. 10 1 J 5 0 20. And the men from Sewanee spoke, and did seem to think they were possessed of the medal. 27. But the judges thought not. and they awarded it unto one comedown from 'larksville. 28. Vnd when the multitude gathered about the Capitol saw that the medal was awarded not unto Scwunec, with one accord they eried out, Bah ! Bah ! Boup ! Sewanee s in the soup ! ! And when the people had departed from that place and had gone each unto his home, the men from Sewanee broke their fast. •' 0. And did not eat much, hut drank even unto overflowing, so that they O7 • were wild and did seem possessed of devils. 31. And a centurion of the police force came unto them, and demanded wherefore they made the night hideous. 32. And they mocked him, and cast slurs upon him, and upon all the people round about Nashville, for they were sore and vexed an A full. 33. Then the centurion gathered together his company and would have “pulled them, hut lie drove them all into the train. 34. And when they were gathered together into the train, there was yelling and tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth. 3’ . And an engine was brought and hitched onto the train, and it departed. 30. And with it all that was left of Sewanee. r ■ • 1 2 I I 2 2 €� @ (5 Tnash. Awava—lap: Reese's favorite ; make do limit one hundred dollars and 1 «ill play.
