The rushing ‘Comet’ to the sun descends: And as lie sinks below the shading earth With awful train projecting o'er the heavens, The guilty nations tremble.’’ — Thompsons Sen sons. I'll great good will and a pardonable pride, the Comet of 91 makes its bow to the public, and offers itself to their gentle criticism. In reviewing the events of the past year, it sees many things on which to congratulate the University. Never before in its history has a more prosperous year attended it. The number of students has passed the high-water mark of past years. In its halls have been gathered scholars from all parts of the world, forming a coterie that has never been excelled in the history of Southern education. We take note of two new additions to our faculty, Drs. Coke Smith and Waller Peering, the former a divine of great reputation as an educator and as a man; the latter a scholar of rare attainments, who has left the impres- sion of his intellect in the halls of the German Universities and the Litera'i of the Old World. The professional schools have prospered beyond the wildest dreams of their founders, the Dental School having doubled its membership. Coeducation is still making efforts to be officially recognized, and the number of coeds, has lamentably in. creased. Turning to the student body proper, we notice a remarkable growth in University spirit. Athletics has never before been so in vogue. A foot ball eleven has been formed which has already celebrated a noted victory. The base ball nine is in keeping with the past standard ot excellence which has been maintained in the University. The gymna- sium has never been so popular, and never have there been so many well-trained athletes and acrobats there. The Observer has prospered greatly under its excellent manager, and has made itself felt in college journalism. The Ifustlcr has been revived, and has done no little to foster college enterprise and maintain college spirit. An excellent glee club has helped to make night hideous for the inhabitants of the cam. pus. The tennis association, through the efficient management of its president, has about liquidated its entire debt. The shadow of one great grief will make the year o- i memorable in the annals of the University. The wife of the great Bishop has fol- lowed him to the grave, leaving behind the memory of a great work finished at last and well approved by her Master. So, then, with much zeal the Comet salutes you all — Seniors who are already girding your cloaks about you and preparing for life's great struggle; Juniors, who with wise emulation and sturdy industry follow in their steps, looking forward to the quick consummation of your hopes ; Sophomores, wise in your own conceit, but destined to be made foolish in the eyes of wise men; Freshmen, looking but to the time when vaca- tion shall come, and you may be able to dream more languidly of future greatness, and, lastly, the Faculty — wise men and good — in whose keeping the Comet, with much confidence, entrusts the future of the great Vanderbilt University.

This organization shall be known as the Vanderbilt Bald-Head Brotherhood. ARTICLE II.—Object. The object of this Brotherhood shall be to cultivate hardness of the head so that no hair shall grow thereon; and thus its members cannot be hay seeders, and will have the advantage in scraps with their wives. A RTICLE 111.—Motto. “The Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken away.” ARTICLE IV.—Badges. The badge of the Brotherhood shall be a flesh-colored rosette with black or red border, and a tassel in the centre of the same color as the border. A RTICLE V.—Membership. Any student of this University may become an active member, provided he have the following qualifications: i. He must have at least 60 and not over ioo hairs; 2. He must have tried thoroughly at least twenty-five hair renewers with no avail; 3. He shall not have been mar- ried nor taken Junior Math, before becoming a member; 4. He shall not be over 35 years old. ARTICLE VI —Officers and their Duties. Section i. It shall be the duty of the President to preside at all meetings. He shall also watch over all the active members and see that none have too many or two few hairs, and that no one in parting his hair shall have more on one side than on the other. He shall cultivate bald- headedness to the furthest extreme allowed as an example to the mem- bers. When not thus engaged he shall split hairs on economic theo- ries. Sec. 2. The Vice-President shall assist the President, and also make original researches for hair-roots. —S3— Seg. 3. The Secretary shall keep a correct record of all meetings, and recite the same to all his young lady friends. He shall also chron icle all the hair-breadth escapes of any of the members. It shall be his duty, too, to read to any of the members that call on him the “ Reveries of a Bachelor,” or “ How to Grow Bald Without Marrying.” Sec:. 4. The Treasurer shall collect all finds (of hair) above the proper number. He shall also study the various ways of brushing hair to make a little hair extend over the greatest space possible. BY-LAWS. ARTICLE I.—Meetings. Meetings of the Brotherhood shall be held as often as the Secretary sees fit, at the front row in the Theatre Yendome. ARTICLE II.—Quorum. Any number that can together make up a lull suit of hair may consti- tute a quorum; a less number must wait till Johnny gets his gun. AR TICLE III.—Fines and Penalties. If any of the officers neglect their duty they shall allow their heads to be used for one week as the University bulletin board. If any of the other members transgress they shall be compelled to attend chapel and gym. for two consecutive weeks. A RTICLE IY;— Elections. All elections must be by ballot. Officers shall be elected annually at the first full meeting, namely, when Joe Jefferson is in the city. Any candidate that receives less than one vote on any ballot shall have his name dropped, A member may be elected at any regular meeting. Thirty-five black balls shall exclude a candidate. All members are elected for life, but may be expelled in case they are caught with a wig on. A RTIC L E V.—I n 111 AT ion. The condidate for membership must be dragged before the President by the hair that still remains to him ; (this is to be sure that his remnant is well enough rooted to insure his remaining a member for some time). He shall then, standing on his head, repeat the following obligation : “ I swear, by the West Side Moot Court oath, that if I ever raise enough hair to be seized by my wife, I hope that she may snatch me bald- headed.” ARTICLE VI.—Amendments. Amendments may be made to the Constitution and By-Laws in any future Comet, with the unanimous consent of any one member. —:� i— E. ?s!!! Sn! 4 [|f INTERSTATE • HIS Society is called “ Dialectic ” because of tha various dialects spoken therein. Corean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, English, Carolinian, and profane language are all spoken with fluency by the various members of the Society. The boys always speak imp-promt-you They do this to practice themselves in extemperaneous speech and to save a 25 cents fine. The only member who uses written speeches is Jordan; he wrote them five years ago when he was at college. The three foremost orators of the Society are Reese, Hogue and Dodson. Of these the first excels in power to move, e., to move an audience out of the room ; the second in power to convince, i. c., to convince you he don't know what he is speaking about; and the third in the power to melt hearts, i. e.y to melt hearts to pity for the speaker. The executive stand is ornamented by J. VV. Rowlett, president; M. M. Cullan, vice- president; K. H. Jones, critic. Not long since the Society discussed the question: “Resolved, That who was the greatest man.” Both the affirmative and the negative were ably discussed. The president, in ren- dering his decision, said: “Gentlemen, such forcible arguments have been presented on both sides that it is very difficult to decide this im- portant question. Indeed, I feel somewhat like the ass between two hay- stacks, though perhaps I am more like a haystack between two asses. I decide unanimously in favor of the affirmative.” The house is always prompt1 y called to order somewhere between 11 and i o’clock. The members are always on hand at the first roll call, except such as happen to be absent. When a member is appointed on the programme he either fills the place himself or leaves it vacant for somebody else to fill—gen- erally the latter. Roberts’ Rules of Order is recognized as the standard in our deliberations. It is also the subject of ninety-nine hundredths of our deliberations. It is said that a member of the Society several years ago read these rules. The advantages to be gained here by a small out- lay are incalculable. We know one young man who, for the small sum of two dollars, was permitted to speak twice during the year. Many brilliant intellects have gone out from the Dialectic Society—in fact, they have all gone out. The Dialectic hall has a grand past behind her, a grand future before her, and Prof Merrill's grand boring establishment under her. She stands high in the estimation of the faculty —in fact, at the very top of the University. All her members in every respect are above Parr, and know more for the sense they have than any other set of men outside the lunatic asylum. INC Philosophic Literary Socieiy was founded to answer Shaks- peare’s question of “What’s in a Name?” If its founders had any other purpose in view, posterity has entirely disregarded it. The interior of the hall presents such a cheerful mob that strangers frequently mistake it for the waiting room of a dentist; the hall is also remarkable as the only place in town where you cannot find its members. At only one meeting during the year is the P. L S. crowded—the week before the “concour”—all members who have resigned come in to join, with the request that their initiation fee be remitted. This is done for the sake of courtesy, and the Society then proceeds to levy an individual assessment to pay its debts. The aim of the Philosophic is to discuss questions without resorting to oratory or rhetorical eloquence, and I may add, its members are wonder- fully careful not to indulge in either. They invariably strip their sen- tences of all verbage, and very often of all facts. This is excellent train- ing for a man who expects to run for sheriff. For the enlightening of the outside world I give the following verbatim report of one of its meet- ings, taken in short hand. The first fifteen minutes after convening are given to the secretary to find the programme. This is then read in order to satisfy the house that none of the performers are present—a state of things highly condusive to extempore speaking. Richie moves to ad- journ; motion is lost, whereupon Davy Chick wants to know what they are voting on. The president then appoints four debaters to take the place of the absentees; these excuse themselves; the chair appoints four more, who likewise offer insuperable objections. This interesting pro- ceeding continues till the roll is exhausted; then the chair re appoints the first four. At this juncture Richie renews his motion to adjourn ; motion lost. The first debater asks the question for debate; the secre- tary has now lost the programme and has to hunt it up. The members make bipeds of their chairs and read the Hustler. Before the programme is found the sergeant-at-arms announces a messenger from the Dialectic, asking the Philosophic to meet them in joint session for the purpose of inviting Belmont to a discussion of “ Coeducation at Vanderbilt.” Cherry moves to amend by inviting the Farmeis’ Alliance to a discussion on “ In what quarter of the moon shall we plant potatoes?” The chair fines Cherry, who makes some italicized remarks in an aside tone. Richie now vigorously insists on adjourning. Under the head of new business Stokes moves a committee of three be appointed to ask the faculty to allow us to meet at night; with a unanimous sigh the resolution is re- ferred to the committee on chestnuts. Next head of business is hearing excuses for absences. I bis is magnificent training for the faculty of fiction, some of the members already having it abnormally developed. By a process of “log rolling,” all absentees are excused. Next comes the election of officers; at this moment the W est Side Row dinner bell rings, and the chair, finding no quorum, declares the P. L. S. formally adjourned till next Saturday. Representative .Juries.” West Sicle Court. in the year of our Lord 1891, it became necessary for the protection of the rights and property of the citizens of Scrubtown to organize a court of justics, before whose bar the fragile Harden and the pompous Hughes might al.ke be heard.

Murchison, (sometimes spelled Munchausen, by those who knew him well and had heard him talk), was selected as one eminently fitted to preside over such an august tribunal, more on account of a certain rotundity of figure and gravity of countenance than from what might be styled the “ eternal fitness of things.” The most brilliant legal lights of the day scintillated before his majesty and lit the dark and lawless world about them. Among these we find the rose tinted Jeems, the sombre twelve-year old Tommy, the blue sul- phuric Capers, and the bright green |. P. They brought the handsome Byers to repentence and the bath-tub for stealing a “Jack” from the inoffensive Rip. Billy Taylor was given ten days for shooting craps with the waiters, and a certain horse doctor by the name of Davis was confined in the barber’s chair and divested of his hirsute appendages on the charge that the wind, in perambulating through them, protested so loudly against their existence as to become a nuisance. Such were the decrees that eminated from this worthy court, and they have dene much toward suppressing he lawlessness that reigned at Scrubtown. It’s work is incomplete, however, and should never be dis- continued until every form of evil is extricated. The appended list is given as a partial enumeration of the charges that deserve immediate in- vestigation : That Robins has refused to pay his wash bill. That Locke kissed a Co. Ed. without her consent, of course. That Clawson actually answered a question in Botany. That Hulme attempted to take a ba .h on January 1st, and was only prevented by a timely cramp. (T.he sentence in this case should be light, as it was his first and last attempt). That the blazers worn by the west siders are so noisy that it is impos- sible to hear the 7.45 bell. —01— Officers.

Last Fall we not only succeeded in forming a regular team at Vanderbilt, but one of the neighboring colleges was induced to organize. A match-game was played on Thanksgiving Day, when Vanderbilt won the greatest victory of the year, scoring forty points to her opponent’s nothing. The game has never been a popular one so far South, but this game proved so interesting that it now seems probable that several colleges in Tennessee will meet us next Fall. Vanderbilt will lose her best players behind “ the line,” and at the same time those of the team that have had experience in foot-ball playing. But it is characteristic of Vanderbilt that when she has not a player for a certain place, in any team, she goes to work and develops the best possible from the material at hand. So we will be ready to meet all opponents next year. Our field-day was on May 15th. There were ten events, with over fifty competitors from four colleges in the State. Vanderbilt was repre- sented in nine of the contests, and won five medals. This may not be as good a record as in past years, but it must be re- membered that Vanderbilt’s probably greatest work in athletics has been the development of physical training in all the colleges in the State. If our idea was different from this, we could make Vanderbilt win every- thing, by having only those things in which we were sure to win. Our idea is rather to develop all-around athletes in our Tennessee colleges. It was found necessary to lessen the number of events on account of the ball-game on the same day. May the time soon come when there will be no need of a ball-game to stir up interest, and we can devote an entire afternoon to the regular athletic contests. No college records were broken nor equaled, though very good time was made in the races, considering the poor condition of the track. The hundred yards dash is almost always the most interesting race, and it was not untrue this year, though Crockett won too easily to make a record in time, two of the watches giving him 102-5 and one 10 4-5. Nolen succeeded in lowering Vanderbilt’s record, in putting the shot from 33 ft. 9 in. to 35 ft. 2 in. We next look at the work of our base ball team. And here we have nothing to chronicle but defeat. Last Fall only five of the previous team returned, and things looked rather gloomy. An attempt was made in the Fall to organize the base ball team, and several games were played with a local club. The material seemed good, but unfortunately those that promised to be gre test addition to the team left before the year was over. The worst misfortune was that we had no catcher. Several men, however, went into training for this position. Our first game was with Cumberland University at Lebanon. Malone and Lstes did the battery work for us there. Just before the game, however, Estes got a severe lick on the shoulder with a ball, which made it almost impossible for him to throw, and injured his playing otherwise. In the fifth inning his hand was so badly injured that Thompson, the substitute catcher, was put in. Thompson did remarkably well for his first game; and during the remaining part of the year has played catch regularly, improving with every game. Bemis improved wonderfully over last year, and played a fine second throughout. Sanders added very materially to the team in steadying it. This first game resulted in a victory for Cumberland, by a score of 10 to 9, in a ten-inning game. The game was lost mainly through lack of team practice, and the superior battery work of our opponents. Several changes were made in the team, and everything seemed in shape for field day, and everyone expected a great victory, as we were to play Cumberland again on that day. —7:5— In the mean time our team took a trip to Sewanee, but after it had arrived there with a special train, with students and lady friends, Sewanee refused to play us with Sanders on the team, since he had been a profes- sional. This was a great disappointment to us, not to have a game, but we thought we were right, as no league had been formed, and so returned without playing. Field-day came, but Cumberland had not been resting on her vic- tory. Her team showed great improvement. A great game was played, the score standing 3 to 3 at the end of the ninth inning. In the tenth, however, Vanderbilt went to pieces, and Cumberland scored seven runs. The next day the same teams met again, and another close game was played, Cumberland winning, by steady playing and good batting, 7 to 5. It is always in order after deteat to find reasons. We can only say that we met in all a better team than ours Had our team been able to get the proper practice, no doubt we would have had a stronger team. This suggests the fact that something is needed here to secure the proper training of our teams. The main thing needed is some good athletic grounds. Vanderbilt is progressing in other things, and she must in athletics. We hope that the University authorities will see this, and take steps toward providing proper grounds Then, and not till then, will we be able to put such a team in the field as we should. Financially, our athletic contests have been a great success. Tennis is as prosperous as ever. The number in that club is up to the limit, and more would join if they could. They have good grounds. —74— I ! - emor utut ♦ There is but little that can be said about the illustrious woman who followed her great husband, on the 13th of Jan- uary, 1891, to the grave which would be unknown to the great majority of those to whom this volume may come. Her name, from the day of the founding of Vanderbilt Uni- versity, has been indissolubly linked with it, and, after the death ef Bishop McTyiere, it was her presence that bound so impressively the present with the past. Mrs Amelia Townsend McTyiere was born March 12, 1828. From her earliest childhood she was noted for that sweet, charitable disposition which was her chiefest charm. Even in the early days of the Bishop’s ministry, when her capacity for doing good was often limited by the wants in- duced by actual necessity, she always found opportunity for some charitable act. It is related by her family phys’cian, while she was in New Orleans, that oftentimes when he would be at her house, in his professional capacity, she would call him aside, and slip a dollar into his hand, telling him to use it as best he might for relieving some suffering with which he might become acquainted. This was at a time, too, when money was scarce with them, and they were living very strictly within the bounds of their meagre income. At her funeral, in the parlor of her mansion on the campus, a weep- ing girl was noticed, in one corner of the room, whose dress portrayed her to be one of the working classes It was dis- covered that she was one of the many whose hearts had been warmed by the sweet chirity of the woman that lay dead be- fore her, and whose life had been elevated from its dull rou- tine into a joyous realization of human sympathy and human love. 1'here are truly few who may not stop and draw from this life of charity and good deeds some lesson for the future. Perhaps her greatest monument will be, after all, the loving remembrance in which she will be held by all those into whose lives her ministry has come. Her life would not, could not have been a failure had she never been the instru- ment by which the highest dreams of Southern educators were realized. It is not necessary or apropos to recount at length the steps by which the original endowment of Vanderbilt 1 ni versit)' was obtained from Commodore Vanderbilt, or the connection Mrs. McTyikre had with the gaining of the gift. Suffice it to say that it was through her relation with the wife of the Commodore, to whom she sto ul in the affinity of cousin, that the matter was first brought to the consideration of the founder of the University. Impoverished as the South was after the struggle between the States, it would have been scarcely possible for one of her denomination, merely by subscription, to place on fool an enterprise worthy to be called the center of learning in the South. Had such an en- terprise as was at first considered been gotten under way, it is more than improbable that it would have occurred to any lover of the higher education of the Methodist youth to seek from the North the funds to endow such an institution. But before the “Central College” was more than a well asserted probability, it occurred to Bishop McTyiere that his wife might link, by her relationship with Mrs. Vanderbilt, the H money of the North with the benevolent scheme he was in’ terested in. The result is well known. The greatest institu- tion of learning in the South, or Southwest, bears glorious witness to the persevering energy of a man, and the gentler, but equdly important, influence of his wife. On her home she left the impress of a very tender love for her children and her husbmd. Altogether her life was an ideal one, and she bravely waited in suffering, but without fear and without doubt, for its close It came not many months after that of her husband; and she was laid away for her long sleep by his side on the campus she had so beautified by her care. Surely few lives there are which are crowned at last with such glorious results as this woman’s. Always found in the strictest compliance with the calls of her conscience and her duty, her reward came at last, fuller and more complete than is allotted to most who struggle always in the path of right. Her name will be perpetuated through long coming years. In the far future the knowledge radiated from this center of learning will illuminate men’s hearts and educate men’s im- pulses until a broader culture is reached and a broader love sustained, when “ Each man shall be unto the other, As Christ would have him. brother unto brother.” ilu iU emo viam. JORDAN FRANCIS JONES, B. D. '93. DIED NOVEMBER 25, 1890. —SI— The Sobbing • Rain. SOBBING rain! that in thy dreary fall Seems full of angry bitterness towards all. Why beatest thou against my window pane? () dost thou fear the wild tempestuous night, And art thou struggling in thy shivering right, To fly before the cold wind's fierce retrain? Why fallest though with such impetuous might, () sobbing rain ? Hast thou a fear of those dark, shadowy clouds, So weird in shape — that fly in ghastly crowds, Like evil spirits wrapped in fearful shrouds ? ( r, art thou weary of thy ceaseless fall ? And dost thou long to be at silent rest, Within the cold ground’s dark, deep breast,— The whispering, weeping grass to be thy pall ? Then, tired drops, that fly across the plain, Come, dash your tears against my window pane, If twill thy restless longing soothe, O sobbing rain! Day ® apd © Right. ROSY dawn — cool, bright, and fair, A summer morn — pure, fragrant air, A glowing noon — hot, sultry sun, The evening gloom — and the day is done. Soft, twilight hour — gray, misty, still, Then darkness steals o’er vale and hill, The midnight hour — black, solemn, lone, A rosy dawn — and the night has flown. _$• — The Disconsolate pilgaiqS- “Hope deferred nqaketfi t e eart sick. — Solomon. ’ Twas a gala night; For this the eve, that had been set apart In honor of our country’s glorious father. His birth it was; and well ’twas not his death, For sure, methinks, he then had never died. Aware to what his demise would subject us. And now, as after Final comes the holidays, So, in the chapel had the speeches all been said, The ills of party legislation clear explained, The country rescued from impending ruin; While Martin Luther’s name held all enthralled In wonder that his arms had not been wings. And here, through hall and corridor alike in endless stream, fair maidens gladly strolled On arm of college boy ; or in retired nook, “ Sweet pleasure long drawn out ” was mutual shared, And all went merry as the chapel bell, On mornings when to chapel you’re not due. But lo! the scene is changed, the time the same, And ours the lot lamentable, to linger O’er mournful lay, scarce worthy of the lyric lyre. —S3— A room in Wesley Hall, whose sombre shades Are lit but by the meagre radiance of one candle, P y its own drippings fastened to the bare cold floor, Whose fitful glare reveals gaunt, ghoulish shapes Who, ever circling sadly, glide around it, Kach his experience uttering as the spirit moves him. Aas, tis they! There’s Jordan, Van Hook, Campbell, Old Bettis, Rowlett, Reagan, Ross, and Christian, Each uttering forth his blasted hope and blighted love, And o’er the portal, “The Disconsolate Pilgrims.” First Jordan, in a desperate mood, his tale began: “ To love or not to love, Whether ’tis nobler to be the victim of an unrequited pission, Or, quenching it’s fevered flame, To pluck the arrows of Cupid from my perforated bosom, And leave it as a sifter ? To love — to grovel in base torment; To love — but not to be, perchance, beloved; aye, there’s the rub, For when one loves ’tis not enough ; and whether tis suffering To be loved in turn, I know not; for how should I ? And when I told her how I felt, And three days gave her for consideration, For well I knew it was a step momentous, A look, bristling with all the scorn that flesh is heir to, Cast she on me, unhappy wretch, and said, ‘ Were you the only man on this green earth, And all the goddesses had vied to win you My answer would be No! Not quicker do men shuffle off this mortal coil Phan from that place I shuffled off toward home. He ceased, and, bending over, snuffed the tender candle. As ’twere his girl; and darkness reigned supreme. Then the remains were gathered up, remoulded, and relit. No sound succeeded save soft saddening sighs, And stuttering, sobbing of Van Hook; then Ross: “ Brethren, I came not here to talk ; ye know too well The story of our bachelordom. We are victims! As Dodson goes to class lie derides us As victims! As he returns his last returning taunt Is, ‘ Victims!’ But I have known deeper wrongs. I, that speak to ye, I had a sweet-heart once, I had, A spirited gal, with a red head, but no poetry. 0 how I adored that angel. OLder by thirteen years — Mother at once and sweet heart. I left her side — ’Side another man, scorn mantling those freckled checks, Chewing-gum parting those faithless lips. In one short hour That miserable, tow headed bar maid was married. This soul-harrowing note found me on the eve Of leaping into the muddy current of Hogwallow Branch, ‘ Dear Bennie, I’m pained. Forgive me, and 1 won’t do so no more. Be a good boy, Bennie, And meet me in heaven. By-by.’ Ye gods, I laughed aloud, and in mournful musings Muttering, meandered back to my abode. I never smiled again ” Round paced they slowly then and wept, Anon with borrowed kerchiefs wiped their eyes, And as, when laboring under nightmare, howls a dog, So howled Van Hook; and had he then a heart It had been broken ; but alas, it was another’s, And still more alas! another’s was not his. His pent up feelings then gave utterance thusly : “ Language of the common herd will not suffice To hold unrevealed the deep mysteries of love, So an eratic muse of mine I’ll call, And if is mentioned Beg, the heart’s delight, Ye’ll know for whom tis meant, and weep. “ That wit is Bo’, I sholy know, And why, indeed, shouldn’t I ? For I used it once, and played the dunce, Then told my love by-by. “ For when my arm stole round my charm, (It reached only half around), Twas then her Pap broke up my snap, By appearing on the ground. “ At his mad cry I made reply, In which I showed my wit, ‘ ’ Pis a new game for young folks’ playing, But old folks’ — said he, ‘Git!’ “ lie said no more ; to the front door I le led me by the ear ; His foot he raised, the fence I grazed, A bruised spot on my rear. “ 1'hey looked at me, and then said he, (Of wit I seemed bereft), ‘ ’'Pis an old game for old folks’ playing, But young folks’ — then I left. Chorus.— Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo-hoo, For Peggy’s gone, And I’m forlorn, And 1 know what it’s due to.” He ceased, and then his right hand strayed behind, And rubbed his pants; and each one sighing came, And viewed the ruins, and wept and shook his head. Then several more essayed their woes to tell When he whose pants, patched at the knees, Gave evidence sure of what he had often done, And, patched behind, of how he’d never won, Oped wide his mouth, and all, in silent awe, Beheld the workings of a strong man’s gizzard, When glutted with grim gripes gigantesque. He spake, and thus his awful words went forth : Sll “ Ye call me lord high chief of victims ; and ye do well to call him chief of victims who now these thirteen times on bended knee has basely been rejected by every age of girl or widow, whose vicious wiles have won to blast this manly bosom. And yet, I was not always thus ’Twas when first I met her, on whose hollow cheeks weie dried the bloom of ancient roses, to whose head a younger’s hair was frizzled, I fell in love — aye, madly so. And when I offered her my name, she heard me through in patience, then yawning, kissed my throbbing temples, and said she’d sworn off now, her third was under earth. Ye move here now like spectres, as ye are. The dire doom of bachelorhood is in your enervated frames. Scarce one more gracious refusal of your offered boon will send ye to Pluto’s realm below. Heard ye not yon musing ’cross the campus? ’Midst that gay crowd were maidens — aye, fair co.-eds. who — but stay. If ye are victims, then cower here and growl, and grit your teeth, and grasp where once ye had a heart. If ye would not be so, then do as I shall do — discard the title of the Disconsolates, and, with banner blazoned, ‘ With scorn for females all now brimming, Uirvon by the wiles of vicious women,’ boycott the fair, eschew the comely, and make them to pine for us, as we for them in former days. Gentlemen, one of two things must happen, or else we perish. Either we must do something, or not do nothing.” Now, e’en as this poser he propounded thus unto them The hapel bell rung out the hour of twelve; The candle glimmered, sunk, and all was darkness. --S7— ■1 K, 1� Observer ' __ piwnuiin.

Chorus— With hearts of gladness, then, we turned To those surviving still, The daisy there and buttercup, And those of rugged build. Then as we scanned, in vain we sighed For the flower we most chose, The queen of all—the peerless one With radiance rare—the rose. Chorus— Ah, then it was with generous mind A friend in need out stood. Held forth a rare and costly plant, A mighty power lor good. No favor asked he in return, A freeheart off’ring his; He needs no greater monument, Our love is shown in this. Chorus—. And what the flower? Can you not guess? This boon to all so dear, This rose, which only sweeter grows As Time heaps up his bier ? ’Tis Vanderbilt— aye, there’s the rose That deck’s our Southern land ; ’C.ainst ignorance a present help, A bulwark, strong and grand. Chorus— The Vanderbilt Glee Club. jJTEARS ago this place was quiet. Undisturbed by “ fuss” or noise When no co eds lingered here — Only plain, straightforward boys. Hut alas, we've been advancing, Keeping step with this fast age. First, a base ball team was ushered In upon our tranquil stage; Then there followed, in succession, “ Foot ball,” “ Tennis,” and the rest,— Last of all, coeducation. So. we all things good possessed ; How we wish it had remained so. But we cannot have our way ; For, however much ’tis gainsaid, Noise will always go with play. “Once upon a midnight dreary,” As I slept, all snug in bed, Came a sound upon the night air, Like one wailing for the dead Looked I vainly through the window, For the source of this strange sound — All was Black and utter silence, Save a few Barks from a hound. •• i Then I turned to Knapp till morning, But alas, it was no use ; There was kling and klang and klatter In a way that beat the Jews. Then again I wandered, dreaming, Through Klysian fields of day, Sauntered through some flowery Meadows, Listened to the song birds gay. “ Suddenly there came a tapping ”— Better say, a thunder storm, ()r the judgment day, and Gabriel Gives dead people the alarm. Roared the thunders, howled the tempests, Cannon bellowed, bugles rang, Cats were mewing, pigs were squealing, Bull frogs croaked, and asses sang ; Crows and chickens, geese and “ hoot ” owls Chimed in with tuneful lays, And it seemed the whole creation Raised • campmeeting ” songs of praise. First I thought of bells and tin horns, Then of Washburn’s music class, And with scorn 1 held my peace then, Purposing to let it pass. Then it dawned all of a sudden, Quicker than a streak of light: ’Tis the Glee Club serenading,— That’s what horror fills the night. Thus, you see, we’ve been progressing. Since the halcyon days of yore, Till we’ve got a jolly Glee Club To disturb us evermore. —yr - i O APfL 2o‘EXAMPLLS EXPLODED THEOR E E miUMULlIllinm, 3tNSE WOOD SHo ED TP PE CIETI E S- il T V I ! r A WlAAA ilLw wl J O yi A A WkW A V wV A w 'k. W V ippl IUCYDI DKSis commonly known among scholars as Thuca-dides. k He was born at an early period of his life. He had a strong desire for writing books, which his father cultivated. The old gentleman also cultivated a small farm. The farm yielded more ready cash than the son’s desire for writing. Writing was somewhat of a nov- elty then, and the people flocked in to see the boy write. They usually went home better satisfied with their own miserable hand. Just a few of the great writers died of jealousy — not many. The writings of Thucydides are very much like the Bible, . e., but seldom read. Still he has made more out of his books than any man now extant. It is estimated that he has nude at least ten thousand freshmen “ bust ” on examination. And this is an immense sum, even putting freshmen at a low figure. Thucydides enjoyed a great deal of persecution from his neighbors. They got it into their heads that he was writing all his books from pure cussedness. But Mr. Thucydides was not that sort of a man, as his family would be willing to testify. Thucydides and his brother-in-law went out one Sunday afternoon to pull some chestnut bark on which to write his eighth book ; but one of his bitterest enemies caught him Ep' auiophoro and he was banished. This was a great blow to his former cheerfulness, and might have been a great deal worse, but his friends were allowed to bring their autograph albums for him to write some appropriate verse in. This was a great honor for so young a man as Thucydides. (At this time he was only seventy-two years old ) Doubtless the remembrance of these albums brought a shade of cheerfulness to his declining years, when they so unexpectedly rushed upon him. I have not read all of his works as yet, but shall do so very soon out of respect to him and his bereaved family. I have never found them in — 1)7— a language that I speak very fluently. I hope, however, to see all the plays of Thucydides translated into a cross between English and Greek. 1'his is known as the Interlinear language, and is quite a favorite of mine. It is also taught in many female schools, and some private (very private) classes at Vanderbilt. I can read two lines of this while I read one line of the straight English, and almost three times as fast as I can read Latin, and I never have any trouble with Latin or Chinese either. I honor Thucydedes, am willing to endorse all his writings, and would swear to the truthfulness of all his words that I have read; but I fear he has not dealt squarely with Xenophon. I fear that he has stolen from Xenophon, for in several places their lines are very much alike They are about the san e length, and of the same general appearance. I wouldn’t say anything about this where it would get out, for it is not my disposition to injure a man whose bread must come by his pen. The above remarks have been made after a close study of the man’s character from a moral standpoint. They are given here that you may better appreciate the play in his seventh book, if you are ever fool enough to read it. This seventh book is his master piece. You can tell readily that it is not his first book, for no man could have written it the first trial. He threw away a good many manuscripts before he got one to suit him ; but he quit before he got one to suit anybody else. It was very expensive for his famiiy to keep him in plenty of bark to practice on. At last he bought a thousand acres of timbered land just for the bark. For a good while he wrote just for the fun of writing. At last he got out a good article of a book that didn’t have any fun in it at all. The next morning after it was published Mr. Thuc) dides made the boys get up and kindle a lire, and they used it for kindling. Now, some fathers will read this and still go on making their boys get up and kindle the fire. The printer had saved a copy as a relic, and so we have it preserved. It is a comical-looking little book, about the medium height, and of good complexion. Notwithstanding it is as harmless as a suck- ling dove, a good many people handle it on horseback. I am not afraid to sleep to-night with a copy of it lying on my table, and shall rise to-morrow morning and resume my favorite pastime of lying on the book. —'.is— I j EATITUDE n I Messed are the poor in purse, for they shall not be expected to buy many Comets.

Selah ! Blessed are they that cut not the gym. and chapel, for they shall not be called to interview the Chancellor. —too— THE PAEDOUEGO H. It has always been my favorite maxim that this was the age of labor- saving. I have in pursuance of this doctrine done my best to save all the labor I could. Labor was put on man as a curse, and I never did enjoy a cussin’. I have with great success preached this doctrine at the University, especially in the Pharmacy department. Many of the boys in this department have become so enthusiastic in the cause that they economize about twenty-four hours a day, devoting the remainder to filling bottles with a funnel. Students (the word is to be taken in a meta- phorical sense) of the other departments devote the time they save from labor to talking to the co.-cds. To further libeiatc the race from the Adamic curse I have spent much time in perfecting a machine that will render every avocation as great a sinecure as a coal oil inspectorship or a chair of English. This, in short, is to utilize the noise made by a cry- ing baby. It positively makes one sick to think of the vast motive power daily going to waste in this way. The average baby cries nineteen hours a day, some twenty-four. There is one of the latter class next door who weeps like Alexander because the day contains only twenty four hours. 'I'he machine utilizes both the breath and the noise of the kid. It is of two pieces. The first like a mask, is made of light material, and fits over the baby's face. On either side is a valve on hair spring hinges and open- —101 — ing inward. Opposite the baby’s mouth is an opening into which is fitted a long cylindrical tube of the best acoustic properties. At the juncture of the tube and head piece, which are tightly united, is a third valve, open- ing downwards. This machine is fitted on the baby’s head. At first he may cry, but this will only give the machine a good test, and soon he will not mind it. Now, when the kid draws in his breath to yell, the side valves open, the air rushes in at the same time, closing the third valve. When he exhales his breath the air closes the side valves, opens the mouth valve and rushes down the tube, whose shape concentrates it and increases its velocity. What a blessing this will be on a cold morning ! All you will have to do will be to strike a match to the grate, adjust the instru- ment on the infant, move the cradle near the fire-place, and wake him up. His yells will fan the spark into a cheery blaze in three minutes. When the fire is burning the next thing is to quiet the kid. This is accom- plished by turning the flexible tube so it will play on the cradle-rocker, which, for this purpose, has a broad, Hat, horizontal surface. The harder the baby cries the faster the cradle will rock, so that by degrees he will rock himself to sleep. So numerous are the applications of this power that 1 can only mention one more, to show another form. Make a min- iature wind-mill which will revolve horizontally, its blades made ellipse shaped, with a long handle, the handle of light wood, the ellipse of wire, which is covered with tymphanized membrane. Across the front side of this is stretched a light wire. This membrane is very sensitive to sound, and will, when placed at the end of the tube of the machine, vibrate in unison with the baby’s cries. The 'ire being stretched across the front, allows it to vibrate only in one direction. Now fix this wind-mill to a churn-handle for instance, and let the baby work the machine. The mo- mentum is simply appalling. In two minutes your butter has come and you are ready to let the tube play on the rocker and put the baby to sleep. The machine is called the paedourgon, which, being translated, signified! kid-work. With this wonderful invention two babies can run a -102— reaper, and five a street car. Twenty-seven will amply furnish the mo tive power for the largest factory, and a small foundling asylum could take a contract to keep the machinery of the World’s Fair running night and day. Another good feature is that the baby doesn't mind the noise. He will cry anyhow, and will not work in a half-hearted way, nor strike for fewer hours. The curse of the poor hitherto has been their large families; now this will be their source of greatest revenue, and will satisfactorily solve the problem of inegalanthropogenesis. It will be an inestimable blessing for a man to rent out the triplets to do the general house work of the rich, and have them come home at night with their chubby hands full of gold, and having cried all day he can let them sleep at night. Only my innate modesty prevents me giving my name to the public now, hut I am sure that it will go down to posterity linked with the names of Ignoramus Donnelly, Ned Bellamy and Brown-Sequard, and Vander- bilt will at least be proud of me.

And the turkeys no more strutted In the barn yard, but lay headless In their glory on the platter. Met the foot ball teams, the rivals, To combat for kicking honors. At the park and in the grand-stand Were collected men of factions,— Men too numerous to mention, With strange words and many noises,— Rustici from out the country Who had never seen a contest, Nor knew aught but of the farming, And of whooping up the oxen, And of calling sheep to pasture, And of milking kine at evening. But their cries were so stupendous That had Campbello, the fat man, Not come quickly to the rescue,— Not let out his pent up wind bag, Vanderbilters had been vanquished, Conquered utterly in yelling. —]U — But the contest, if it were such, Needs but trilling words to mention. How the V. U.’s — the swift footed — Fooled the Normals by their cunning — Fooled them by their blows and rushes — Fooled them by their tricks and turnings — Till they had no thought of winning. Two score times the V. U.’s filed out; Victors, they, with little striving. Not a goose was won against them — Two score—zero : there the score stood. Then the raven, the Katgogee, Circling 'round the vanquished players, Croaked aloud this warning to them : “ Many games of skill and hazard Have I seen in different nations-- Have I played in different countries; He who plays with Vanderbilters Must have very nimble fingers; Cet you back into the country — There play base with other rivals Who have not the skill and practice Of the great men who have met you.” A nd they one and all went sadly To their school and to their maidens, Gath’ring up their scanty garments All made up of different colors. But the brave men who had conquered Hied them to their well-earned banquet, Where, with eating and much drinking, (Celebrated they their vict’ry. } e =: • i ' • (5 - lot;-- - Intermediate. v II K shades of night were falling fast u As over his unwonted task The student sat; and to him rise Visions of ruin ; groaning, he cries, Intermediate!

Til K following curious philological treasure was found in darkest Africa by the explorer, Henry M. Stanley, at a village called Nauasashah- vavilallale, beneath the ruins of an ancient university ; which, according to the inscription over the doorway, was called Vavanandaderarbabilaltat. After many months of unremitted toil, the learned college of Wise Asses, the fraternity of Star-anglers, and society ot Hide-bound-ideas, upon drawing of lots as to the name of the production found it to be called A Fable. Each member of the aforesaid associations was given three lines to dream the translation off. To those who read this wonder of ancient African culture, we say, Go to the dreamers of the respective lines for all explanations as to hidden points of wit and wisdom. N. Ik—Some of the words were inserted in their original purity to preserve the artistic harmony of the piece. -----:o:---- Once upon a river bank, within the shambly E-wing of a furze grown palace, dwelt and chattered three noisy birds; exceptional cases they were, for they had tongues that uttered strange languid-ges, but familiar jokes and oaths.

This is whereby my close was torn.

There was silence then; but no—() Bliss on railways! a sound, sweet and lulling as the lullaby of the sum- mer rain keeping time on a tin roof. The air fluttered its wings, a song was Heard: Quare de Hoc! Quare de Hoc! warbled to the air of “Saint Patrick was an Illegmt Gentleman,” by the erudite Parrot, “who knew it all, who knew it all, and sought for Moore in vain ” This finished, he opened his eyes, walled them around, and spoke thusly, to-wit: “John, not Thomp son, what do you think of Mackrel-wee, tiny fish that it is, as compared to other huge things within our sight, or to the creepers of the bowl-faced Seay.” “ lie needs a few more grains of salt, and with Scales well laved in aqua vitae, or, in other words, in his native element.

Then from his room I’d humbly sneak, And knock at the adjacent door; To Doctor Smith I now would speak,-- My dreaded tyrant once, in Greek, ’Tis surely my turn now to bore ! He scans the page, for faults alert. Then says in accents clear and curt: “ Your verse shows lack of classic lore; Write less, and study Gnrk roots more Now down the stairs I’d take my path, In futile search for wrodsof praise; I interrupt a class in Math, Provoke the teacher’s righteous wrath, And sadly heark to what he says. He takes my sheet, and mutters : “So ?” He winks—the students snicker low; Then, promptly, and with no ado, He hands it back with : “ That will do. Up, up, again, once more I’d turn, To where the German speech is taught. One Leipsic doctor may discern The fires that in my verses burn, And give the cheering words I’ve sought.

William—Blaccatio does seem troubled, from his looks and mutter- ings; but it must be as I have said, all of you must labor more. Fellows (all)—Good Prince, it cannot thus be; have mercy on us.

From Wesley Hall, and West Side Row, And distant city comes the flow Of students fierce, with augers true, To bore their borers through and through. Each Prof, with sad and gloomy face, And shrinking footstep seeks his place. With pleading voice, and tears in eyes, The Chancellor, gray, for mercy cries. But no! no mercy shall be found, For these, their turn at last come round, Shall pay to-day the long due score, And show the borers how they bore. But e’er sun sets, their sufferings o’er.

' • A A AW W 1 I don't think there is any concern in the University that is so apt to bring out what is in a man as active work in the Smoking Club. I have known a few men who seemed to have but little strength of character when they joined this club, but one evening spent actively engaged in its duties developed in these same men so much force of character that they could not be induced to smoke afterward. Some smoke for their own health, while others smoke simply for amusement of themselves and friends. 1‘hese latter usually accomplish their purpose admirably. The motto of the society is these words. “There’s nothing in a smoke.” My experience has convinced me that there is nothing in a smoker thirty minutes after he has finished smoking. This club has one end in view. It is very piinful fora good, conscien- tious man to cut a class and then report sick while he feels that he was perfectly well. Now, it is the custom of these honest men to take a smoke just before the class that is to be cut. Then when he is called be- fore the Chancellor to answer for the deeds done in the body, he can fasten his honest blue eyes on that worthy dignitary and answer with tears in his eyes, mouth and nose: “ 7V(ts sick. Since this club has been organized I have known a few men to go a month without telling the Chancellor a single lie. There are all classes of students in this club, except co-eds. This nutter of taking in co eds. was discussed at a recent meeting, and was almost unanimously opposed. They are kept out on the same principal that keeps the Theologues out of the V. M. C. A. — 112— No man is allowed to hold office unless he cusses or is a professional liar, while the president is expected to he an artist at both. Various postures are assumed while undergoing the pleasant task of smoking. Some of the old members stretch across two chairs with the face downward, the pipe hanging from the mouth to the floor. This position is becoming popular, since it saves the smoker the trouble of drawing the smoke through the stem. He has nothing to do but to blow after the smoke has risen to its destiny. This blowing process is pretty well understood bv all the members of this club. Tobacco smoke is now found to be a kind of strengthening cordial. It does not strengthen the mind nor the body, but gives a decided strength to the breath. McLeod, one of the charter members of this club, has so permeated his system with smoke that it has changed the odor of his feet. This is considered by his room mate a very happy result. Besides students, a few members of the faculty have been elected as honorary members They are not allowed to meet with the club, how- ever, since they show too much disposition to interfere with the harmless amusements, such as putting the president under the pump, etc. PRACTICAL HYDRAULICS 143— Our Dcm with a Capital idea. vn XTn t W Wk W ▲ X WW A A I - “ UUi SOME folks b’lieve in hants an’ boogers, but you don’ ketch me put- tin’ no ’pendence in sich as dat.

THE middle of September found the doors of Vanderbilt beseiged by a large number of noisy infants, some with fragments of the mater- nal apron string still clinging to them, and others with the badge of the farmers’ Alliance scattered through their uncombed locks. These were immediately taken in charge by the officers of the hour, and after having been duly persecuted for several days and bedecked with a vast amount of red tape, were organized into the class of ’94. It was no easy matter to subdue this band of wild urchins, and teach them that first and greatest proverb—“C hildren should lie seen, and not heard;” but, thanks to the all overpowering dignity of our Seniors, they were soon brought to recognize their proper places. This had hardly been accomplished when they were beset by a multitude of Greeks, i: s— armed with long and dangerous spikes, who sought to bear them away as captives. Many of the class yielded to their persistent attacks and were placed on the backs of fierce goats and borne from the ranks of barba- rism. This was but a sk;rmish, however, when compared with the desperate struggle that was to follow. A number of giants, principally from the forests of Germany, where the inhabitants drink copiously of a liquid which is especially conducive to mental and physical growth, now came forward and asserted their right to rule over the new class. These men were armed with long and many-jointed augers, which, from constant practice, they could handle with the utmost dexterity. The infants were unable to resist such an overwhelming force, and made very little resistance. They were disarmed, chained together in bands, and made to work for the public good. Some were put to extracting the roots of the Greek tree, which were to be used in making a kind of pat- ent medicine (ailed “Nonsense.” Others were taken on long marches through the old Roman Fan pi re in search of a new process for killing Dagoes without hurting the monkeys; and still others were forced to do dirty work in “hewing wood and drawing water” at Mathville. A number of the more delicate Freshmen, for this was the name by which they were called, succeeded in escaping from their prison walls and returned to the bosom of their homes, only to be swallowed up in the Farmers’ Alliance. The others stuck bravely to their tasks and grew day by day, until they no longer resemble the toddling infants of a few months past, but are able to take their places among the older soldiers. They have well earned promotion, and, after a few months of pleasant recreation, will return to new battles and fresh victories. —i.vj— Sophomore Glass. Officers. S H. Moore.................. H. K.

TI1K past year has been one of innovations. Much sorrow and grief lias come to the members of the class, which small in numbers, seems to have started this term under unfavorable circumstances. As it now stands, the ( lass is composed of Juniors, Seniors, Sophs., Fresh , and Post-(Graduates, and the combined wrath of tbe Ph.D.’s has been poured upon our defenceless heads. But retribution is sure to over- take the persecutors of the innocent and harmless, and we can rest assured that just punishment will be meted out to them if only the vision of one of our number should prove to be true. The vision was of this kind : Scene, Hades. I n the distance several meek and lowly forms are seen approaching, and his Satanic Majesty prepares to give the new arrivals a royal welcome. Satan—Haste you, my friends; long have I been waiting for you. Through many years have I watched your course, and with eager eyes have I scanned yon rolling flood, trusting that I might see your approach- ing footsteps. Spokesman—“ PYaps” we have made a mistake. I don’t think that this is the place where we wanted to go Chorus—So, so. Satan—Per-haps not; but inevitable fate demands that you should spend weary years within these realms and labors hard and long you should perform, since when under the light of day you made your ser- vants groan beneath the hard 1 ibors of servitude. Come, follow me, and for your endless tasks now make ready. To First Victim—Draw thou upon the surface of yon sluggish stream the map of the world above. Trace every river, stream, and brook, and locate all the cities, towns and villages thereupon. Draw every mountain chain and peak, and show the position of every forest, grove, pliin and field. To Second Victim—Long have 1 desired you, and for thy much work above to give you in part the reward due tl.y labors. The punish- ment of the fates would be light were it not that you have m ide one mis- take in your little grammar. Come, stand here, where thou canst not have where to rest thy ever weary self. Stand erect and move not, whilst balls of Bengal fire forever burn around thy learned head. To 'Third Victim—Come, thou smiling lover and pedagogue. I have ransacked the very depths for punishments due thy merits, but the vast realms of Hades cannot afford them. But of what it doth afford thou shah surely have a portion. Seize him, ye devils, sew up his mouth, and with a little twig from the chestnut tree let him draw digammas in the shifting sands. To Fourth Victim—Of all ihe spirits that have come to these infernal shades thou art amongst the worst Peculiar delight has thou taken in rendering life burdensome. Now, every trace of the 7th book shall be destroyed, and thou shah lose the power to understand anything in that language. Come, and in this lake of fire swim towards the ever vanish- ing banks. —161— To Fifth Victim—Thou art known to be the most cruel of human kind, and heralds from the utmost parts of the world have bid me welcome thee to this land, and because ol thy deeds in the flesh, they ask that 1 keep thee employed. No doubt the world is better off since thou hast left; but come, bind him, ye infernal powers; cut of his tender beard; put upon his back all the books of his adopted tongue, and let him walk forever upon the red.hot bars around the furnace, while all the assembled hosts shout, ja woht. Cast the rest into the cauldron of burning tar, and into the bottomless pit cast all the memorials of these doomed spirits. Chorus—Water, help! O Sophomores, help! water! Echo—'loo late ! too late!

After reading over a number of class histories in search of one that will fit the class of ’92, 1 find none to lit the bill, so I must have a history made to order for this singular set of men. In examining the history of this class for last year and trying to get myself up to the point of believing there is some truth in it, I am lost in amazement and exclaim in my excitement, “Edwin, thou hast tied!” Instead of all the class being noted for everything, it is not specially noted for anything except Crockett. We have three of them, two little ones and a big one. The Crocketts are not materially different from some specimens of the genus homo. There is one peculiarity in them that I think worthy of notice, that is the manner in which they part their hair. One of them parts his hair on the right side, another on the wrong side, and Hugh is not par- ticular about parting his at all. It is usually parted on the outside, how- ever, whenever he does part it. The most noticable feature in this class is intellect. This is very com- mon, so common in fact that it is not prized very much by the faculty or anybody else, except the members of our class. This commodity is usually found at the head of the class, and some little ot it has been no. ticed to exist in the heads of the individual members; (there are many exceptions to this rule). We have a man for every calling in life. Malone is preparing for the ministry; he will doubtless be a success, as he can devote all his energies to pastoral work and eloquent sermons, not booking any time with pri- vate devotions nor any form of Godliness. He “ cusses” some yet, but —m— there is no harm in that I suppose, for he means no more by Ins cussing than Vreeland does by his prayers. Speaking of Vreeland, brings to mind another bright intellect. 1 say bright intellect with consideration of what that means, for if his intellect were not bright it would be impossible to find it, it is so very small This quality fits him, however, fora position in a choir, where he has already made himself famous at pumping the organ. I le is now out of a job since the choir leader discharged him for trying to sing. After intellect the next important feature in our Junior Class is its beauty. I am glad 1 have called attention to this feature of the class, for it never would be noticed, perhaps, if not explicitly pointed out. The greater part of the class beauty has been concentrated and intrusted to the keeping of the one co ed. She has been faithful to the trust, and has even increased it to ten talents. A few of the dishonest members of the class have kept back a part of the prize, so they still retain a small share of their beauty. Among these 1 shall mention Robins, Locke and Barr. It is generally believed that Locke afterward saw the error of his way, then brought his beauty and laid it all at the feet of the fa;r keeper of the Junior beauty. The records do not show, however, that it was accepted, so he retains it still, and thus Locke and Barr are considered (by them- selves) the only beautiful men. There is also another feature that I would not neglect, and that is the morals of this class. Taken as a class, we vary in morals all the way from a Sunday school scholar even down to the moral state of a Senior or ‘‘med.’’ Some of us go to Sunday school, others to church, a large num ber to the Vendome, and a few have been seen at the races with the Theologues. A good many of us know something about horses; some of us know enough to make our expenses in the University; some know enough to make our expenses heavier, while a few know enough to stay away from the races. W hile we have a few Juniors whose knowledge of horses is sufficient to enable them to make asses of themselves. (1 com- menced to say something under the head of morals, but now find myself under the head of horses) 1 believe the most of the class are moral, or should be. We ire great favorites with the Chancellor, and he is not content to go a week without a confidential chat with one or two of our number. The Junior rarely, if ever, betrays the trust placed in him. I have never known one of our number to divulge any of the secrets intrusted to him in these consultations. In fact, we are just such men as you know will do to trust, and you know just where to find us. We are always the same thing. Some of us will always be Juniors if we are not turned back. The natural dispositions of the members of this class are uniformly various. Me Reynolds hates everybody in the world except his girl, and she hates him. So by these two creatures alone everybody on earth is hated except Mac’s girl. Browder is the brightest man in the class. It is said that his room- mate could study by him in the darkest night. I do not believe Brow- der is altogether as bright as a gas jet, but he has some of its charac- teristics. In early life Mims developed a weakness for the fair sex, and it still clings to him—I mean the weakness, not the sex. I cannot leave this sketch without a word about “ Little Wilson.” The only striking feature in his early life was his mother’s slipper. He would doubtless have made a success in chemistry, but he was left open, and so completely oxydized that he is considered worthless except as a fertilzer. I am sorry I have written this history ; doubtless the class is sorry too. I believe I have mentioned the sorriest of the class, so you see we have some good men. Historian of ’92.

HISTORY OF '91. “ History—A true story ; in distinction from a romance ; a statement of the progress of a nation or an institution, with philosophical inquiries re- specting effects and causes.”—Webster. We see at a glance from this definition that a historian must needs be, first, a truthful man; secondly, a philosopher, i. c., he must never have studied either logic or philosophy. How far we shall fulfill these condi- tions he it not for us to judge. It is a fact which is now pretty well settled that all great financial crises and panics occur in either August or September. Probably one of the greatest of these which has occurred in the world’s history took place in September, 1887. It was not purely a financial panic, but a general sort of smash, casting abroad a dark cloud of depression, moral, mental and physical. The cause for this terrible crash seems clear, if we will lift the veil of mystery and take a few “back sights.” In the month and year above stated, a band of joyous, blithesome, light-hearted (and light- headed) youths gathered together on the campus, its green sward har- monizing perfectly with their general mental condition. Prom all parts they came, some attracted perhaps by bright visions of erudition and learning, leading to paths of glory and fame ; others with an eve on the Almighty Dollar, came perhaps to study so ne profession—maybe that of the veterinary surgeon, or that of the dentist, whose business is to make dents in persons’ pocket books; or even that of the liar—excuse us, law- yer. All sorts of men and conditions were represented. The frisky cow-boy from Texas, the pea-nut from Georgia, and the Tennessee razor- back, were all there. Merry indeed were they on assembling on that fatal day, when they first heard the sonorous notes of the bell calling them -like sheep to the slaughter —to the chapel. There mysterious announcements were made, and the professors might have been observed gleefully rubbing their hands together in anticipation. All went merry as a marriage bell until each student entered the little seances held by the various examining professors On enteirng one of these, curious signs figures and words are seen upon the black board 1 mmediately after observ, ing these everything else appears also to be black; mjsterious spirit rap- pings seem to beckon to another world; the air is heavy and mephistic; dizziness overcomes, and the student, after vainly struggling for life for five hours, totters out in the corridors a mental wreck. He wishes he was at home with his ma, and he sits down and tries to think. He finds that he has lost all power of doing so, and from then till now, no one in our class has ever shown the slightest disposition to think. In a few days he recovers sufficiently to look around, when he is at once struck by many things. One of these is the bursar, who strikes him for a small fortune. Escaping once more, he haunts some forsaken nook and tries to die, but can't. He soon finds out the hours at which the slabs of horse steak are distributed at West Side Row; or, if he be of a religious turn of mind, (and religion offers rare consolation at this time), and is a denizen of Wesley Hall, the nutritious mush, rendered palatable with Ridge’s Infant Food. This learned, he explores the dark recesses and secluded spots and cloisters which abound in the campus and buildings. About this time also he learns how to get on and off the street car, how to post a letter in a letter box instead of a fire aiarm box, and other little essentials to city life. He has now gained courage to lay out a course of study, (which later on lays him out) and commence cutting classes. He is now broken in pretty well (ditto pocket-book). This experience was 11� ' that of each member of our large and lusty class. After safely getting over these little preliminaries, we thought we would have peace, but no! Annoyance upon annoyance began to harrass 11s and to strain us almost beyond endurance. Several of these may be noted: Every morning each of us had to wend his (and later on, her) weary way to the sanctury, that veritable art (?) gallery. Here, while engaged in silent meditations, or in conning the lessons, a hideous noise bursts out. We rise and start to rush off, but are calmed and told that it is only the choir dispensing (we wish it was dispened with) heavenly music. Heav- enly because unearthly. Another wearisome proceeding is going to the Gym. Here “clad in suitable gymnastic costume,” we are made to dis- play our classic proportions for the delectation and amusement of a gay and giddy crowd of damsels. This is a rather trying ordeal to students of weak nerves (and legs), and it is thought by many that, as this is a Yree land, that it should not be thusly. Perhaps the things that have worried us most have been the little semi annual receptions given by the professors to the students. Although they are full-dress affairs, no re- freshments are served, so that in order not to be hungry each one has to cram before examination. Should one fail in doing his duty at these little soirees, saponification may be resorted to. Although the West Side races are not on at this time, great fondness is developed for ponies, etc. These soirees over, we were free to bust for another five months During these enjoyable affairs our class was decimated, (by the decimal point on the wrong side) members being killed outright and many wounded, some badly, some merely scratched, lint a small proportion were left to tell the tale the following June, when we parted to mend our armor and to go home and see her. We met again the next September, but joy of joys! we were no longer Freshmen, but full-fledged Soffened mores (having reference, of course, to the brain). I bis was a very eventful year for us. Fierce were the conflicts, and many the brave warriors who bit the dust. One obstruc- tion confronted us with a most determined grimness. He would lie awake at nights, wrapped in an hyperboloid of several sheets and a blanket, and attempt to lay plans to pass the obstacle. We were only in part successful, but the saponification process did the rest. ()ur third year was chiefly remarkable for the wonderful way in which we cured ourselves of the bad habit of studying. We turned our attention to all sorts of things. Some began to write poetry (?), some fell in love with the coeds, those strange and wonderful creatures, and swore to win or Dye(r) in the attempt; and some took to music, billiards, beer, and hunt- ing the tiger in his lair. We all became proficient in one way or another. For these reasons not a few of us were tripped up at the June soiree Last September we came together again for the last time, and we brought our guns loaded for “ bar.” We have shot at everything in sight, and have killed, or else wounded, all the game. Some of the guns have a torrible recoil, however. In our struggle to reach the goal our brains are on the homestretch, and if care is not taken they may become strained beyond the “elastic limit.” We are digging deep for the oil, and it is nearly ready to spout. But we must draw to a close. The relations of our class to each other and to our teachers and instructors have been in- timate and agreeable, and we can truthfully say that we will carry away pleasant memories of our Alma Mater, of all our student friends and teachers, and last, but not least, our Nashville girls And, next June, when we shall look into each other’s faces for probably the last time, let us raise our hats and with one voice, “Yi-yiyip” Vanderbilt and the class of 6i.
