' U ir E?I EPA6E )K NCE more the Legenda makes its entrance into the college world, and again its editors recommend it to the consid- erate attention of Wellesley and her friends. During the year since we pored over the pages of ' 90 ' s annual and rejoiced in its success, sufficient progress has been made in the college to justify the expectation of an advance in the merits and worth of the Senior publication ; and, with the IK - I g, ,J l modesty of editors, we do not say that such an expectation will lead to disappointment. We make no apologies for the deficiencies and faults of the book, if there are any; trusting that they will prove a warning and an example to our successors, that they will be viewed leniently by those who love us, and that they may quite escape the notice of those who do not. One thing, however, we must beg our critical readers to keep in mind ; that is, the great disadvantage under which the Editorial Board has labored in losing their first choice for Editor-in-Chief, Miss May West, Z A. Though Miss West was able to lay careful plaits for this issue of the Legenda, and allowed to see the materialization of many of them, she was obliged to resign her position early in the history of the Board and leave numerous details to be worked out by her successor. Much as this loss must be felt by those who turn the pages of our book, the editors have felt it far more, and take this opportunity to express their regret for its necessity, as well as their appreciation of the careful forethought that has made the path so much smoother for her successor. From the contemplation of our private troubles, we turn to voice the sentiment of our class in its outcry against Fate, that she, regardless of our entreaties and our tears, chose this year to enforce the absence of our College President. To her so heartily chosen to act in President Shafer ' s stead, we are grateful for guidance and help. We are mindful of her whole-souled efforts C6) WELLESLEY LEGENDA. and appreciative of her success, and we trust we may not be misunderstood if we say that the Class of ' 91 feels itself somewhat aggrieved in being called upon to pass through this its Senior year without that President who has led us through the preceding years of our course, and who, it would seem, has given us a claim upon her in the honorable right to add her name to our list of members. But, in spite of Plate ' s unkindness, we issue the annual, which, it is hoped, has become a regular feature of the college year, although, as yet, of but three years ' standing. To ' 89 ' s heroism and to ' 90 ' s discretion we owe this privilege. If we have endangered it to succeeding classes, our excuse is that the sole legacy of the Dragon to us was the command ' ' to have our jokes funny, ' ' and we felt justified in taking some risk to attain that end. Ponder well, O reader, the dire result to future generations before you pro- nounce not funny. The Dragon may be only sleeping and waiting to be roused by the verdict which means disobedience. We would not mention this to dampen your criticism, but purely from thoughtfulness for our neighbors. From a similar motive we call attention to a slight change from the cus- tom of our predecessors, concerning the period of time covered by the cal- endars. It is for many reasons safer to write of things of which we know, than to trust the accuracy of prophe tic visions or even women ' s plans. And, therefore, the record in this book is limited by the month of publication. But we are still unwilling that the great day of the Class History, the Senior Tree Day, be granted no historian ; and we would accordingly direct the attention of those who come after us to this fact, that we have been proud to record in our annual a short account of the Tree Day of our predecessors. Were it not for the expensive lessons of experience, we would leave this fact, with its accompanying suggestion, to insinuate itself into the acute mind of ' 92. But editorial training teaches us that the point is occasionally missed, and that hints must not be too delicate if they would attain their end ; hence, we speak plainly. Since this page is the only one where the editors can speak for them- selves, we must sacrifice unity to the needs of the case, and also mention here the regret we feel at discovering the similarity of our choice in the exterior of the book to that of a brother college. Were we not so confident in the fairness and justice of that college, we might fear the suspicion of imitation, and be tempted to mention that one of our number possesses a genuinely S w I.I.I. i;si.i:n- i.i-:(;K n, . ancient book of similar appearance. As it is, we hope that they may not be dissatisfied that our minds should have happened .o find the same channels. The purpose of this book is to give, to those who are sufficiently inter- ested to seek it. some idea of student life at Wellesley during the past year; and, though we have felt that such a picture would be far from complete without a mention of matters — such as the Stu dents ' Association and societies — of serious and vital interest in college life, yet, in general, the aim has been to give the lighter side of life from the students ' stand-point. In all this we have been greatly aided by the kindness of our friends, even those outside the class as whose especial organ this book is issued. Particularly we shall remember Miss Bertha Jones, a former student at Wellesley, and a member of Z A, Miss Edith Luther, A. S., Miss C. R. Green, S. S., the interest of all of whom has materialized in a way most acceptable to our art editors. From the President of our class, in this as in many other matters, we have received sympathy, appreciation, and help; and our love and loyaliv increase. Several members of the class have given us especial aid ; and to the Senior Class, as a whole, we would express our gratitude for and appre- ciation of the honor paid us in their choice of us to edit their annual. As we give it to the public, we feel that our fondest dream will be realized and our highest aim attained, if it prove to be no discredit to the Class of ' 91. The Editors. CONTENTS. l ' .

With delight she turned from Ninety, a sturdy youngster aged one year, to this youngest of her children, whose infant piety soon began to bud and bring forth blossoms large and wondrously developed. Here at last was a child in whom her motherly ambitions were to be realized, her fondest hopes to be gratified. Bless the dear child ! she The Spirit murmured Amen ! But soon the precocious infant was big enough to walk alone, and, loosed from Alma Mater ' s apron strings, her toddling feet forsook the paths of virtue, and wandered into flowery paths of wickedness, where she treated her baby sister with such alarming severity as to afford a striking example of youthful degeneracy. Poor Alma Mater ! The dear old Dame nearly fainted with the shock, and her very cap-strings trembled with emotion. The Spirit turned pale ! Enough ! Let us not linger on this painful picture. In other respects, as well, Ninety-one ' s progress was phenomenal. E ' en the grim Puckle yielded to her charms. Quite a friendliness grew up be- tween them, and often might they be seen together in social converse. But this year, too, drew swiftly to its close, and at its end, with a few motherly words of advice born of her own bitter experience, Ninety-one handed over the spade to her younger sister, and turned to higher things. Not i n vain was it that Ninety-one chose for her motto, El xaXov xdyu or. Know you the exact English equivalent for the Homeric o cu).(k ' xayuxio -? Ninety-one ' s prophetic vision beheld down the long vista of her college days the festive hours of Junior Promenade, and from the depths of her aspiring soul, cried ' ii ei - xalor •AuyaOor. Oh, for a gentleman ! But this reflects a passing mood only. All through this year we see her as at its close, a grave-digger in every sense of the words. Certain it is that into the resting place of the immortal Sylvanus went all that was light, shocking, or frivolous of Ninety-one. Thus falls the curtain upon her Junior year. The Senior, Ninety-one ! How much is bound up in those three words! 28 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. Vet there is one phrase that gives the key-note of it all. Dignitas Dig- nitatum! Need we amplify ? Behold her now, a demure maiden, with gravity written upon her coun- tenance, her brow furrowed by the awful responsibility of her position, her dignity the pride of her elders, who have nurtured it and her. Alma Mater now relaxes her severity a bit, and allows her to go out of the yard occasion- ally without special permission, provided she be home before dark, and keep her pinafore clean. The Spirit looks rather dubious, and sighs for the good old times. ] ut cheery Alma Mater beams all over with the sense of her benignity, and promises Ninety-one, now the eldest daughter at home, that when she is a trifle older she may go to a party or two. Upon one point, however, Alma Mater is firm ; . e., in the question of her daughter ' s garb. • ' While I live, she says stoutly, she shall never don an Oxford gown. Pinafores are the only appropriate dress, and in pinafores she shall remain. ' ' And the Spirit nods assent. Of Ninety-one ' s past, enough has been recalled. Of her present, it lies under the admiring gaze of you all. Of her future, who can prophesy. But, if we judge from present indications, with confidence may we expect a future of honor and renown. Even now, one of her number is a college president, another a noted divine, and a third of high repute in the political world. With this fair beginning, what fame and glory may we not expect from the remaining number ! And now, farewell lo Alma Mater ! Perchance the dear old Dame brushes away a tender tear as she beholds another of her children go out from her embrace ; a child whose love and reverence for her foster mother, believe her, is as great as that of any sister class. Yes, Ninety-one, all our misdeeds are forgot (we trust), and only kindly thoughts are those that follow us as Wellesley ' s doors once more open, and close — behind us.

E will take out our own little Kodak, And point it at ' 92 ; Then develop it well with hypo, And finish it off for you. She assumes all the airs of a Senior, And expects even more as her due ; For she claims e ' en the rank of a Fifth-year, Because she is ' go-too. Her motto is In ' dlrjOsia, Her aim (avowed) is the truth ; But should you attend her class-meetings, You ' d say ' twas a tooth for a tooth. For she ' s always engaged in a quarrel ; On naught will she deign to agree. If she gains her B. A. without bloodshed, ' Twill be due to the mild Faculty. Would you know of her latest upheaval ? ' T is concerning the Promenade ; For she yearns herself to distinguish, But oh ! it is wofully hard. Let ' s begin at the hour of two-twenty, And end at the neat hour of ten ; Let us revel in tennis and jump ropes, And win the approval of men. 36 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. No ! let it not be in the day-lime, Whatever may thus come to pass ! P ' or that would be almost too Hard-on The aristocrats in the class. ' ' And yet greater problems confront her — But what will the gentlemen wear? And if it is out on the campus, Oh ! how shall we do up our hair? Thus she argues, and quarrels, and wrangles. And she cannot be made to agree. And as to the colored waiters, How pacify ' 93 ? Some reform is certainly needed ; Ask the faculty, Is it not so ? But would a remonstrance be heeded ? We hear you reply, Alas ! No. { 2 he reader is requested to pause for chatige of metre.) But surely us she ' 11 pardon, E ' en if a trifle hard on Her follies, and once more Upon us cast her smile ; For our reign is almost over, And soon she ' 11 be in clover. For a Senior she ' II be (doubtless), In a little while. So let us haste to send her Our beauteous Legenda, And beg, entreat her, mend her Wicked, wilful ways. It s cost a deal of labor. But surely it will pay — or In lament we will spend the Remnant of our days ! WELLESLEY LEGENDA. 37 Cfa00 of !tl2. Motto : ' En ' uh,Oeiti. dolors: £Ioiicr=ptnk ani lUl]tte.

Dolly presl T ar}, fier Bool i EPTEMBER 18, 1890. — One weeke ago I did come to bee a studente at y greate college yclept Wellesleye. It is trulye a bigge place, and 1 felte surpassing little. They have here a queere creature which they name y Sopho- more. At y firste I thoughte them to be Facultye, for they did comporte t hem sel Ives with so much dignitye and superioritye. But now I knowe that they are mortall, and quite younge, since I have scene y reale Facultye. They bee trulye gruesome. They doe sitte aboute in various partes of y house, and y Freshmanne is pass arounde from one to another of them for to be gaz att, and ask ' ' questiones of. And on occasion they doe give me slippes of paper with something writte thereon which passeth my comprehension. I have a grette lotte of room-companions. I doe notl yett knowe alle their names. When I have learn ' ' them, 1 shall fcele that I knowe a greate many of my classe. I have a greatte craving for foode. They doe putte a sterne teacher att each table, to see thatt we doe nott eate over much. I have therefore tasted foode butt twice since I came hither. Also they doe have a curious custome yclept Domestick Work. Why it should not therefore be done by y domeslicks, I cannott guesse. Itt is my dailye toile to fille y lampes of alle those foolish virgines who doe notl wish toe provide for themselves. They are manye. Verilye itt is a monstrous queere custome. There is here a funnye machine called y elevator, which has for me such charme that whensoever I catche sighte of ill, I straightwaye feele impelled to runne for itt, whatever obstacles lie in y waye. Itt sometimes comes to passe thatt y Faculty gette overturned iherebye, and looke surprised. I have been toide by a kind Senior that the boarde bye this machine 50 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. is nott y boarde of examiners, for it possesses and impartes too much intelligence. Oct. I. — Lefte my couche att 4.30. Yett I did moste woefullye flunke inn y mathematicks. Spente y reste of y daye in y economye of goode. Oct. 17. — Poore little booke ! I doe neglecte thee sadlye. Wente to divine service and tooke a nappe— afterward, I nieane. Oct. 30. — Forgette whatte I did. Jan. 19, 1891. — Trulye is my soule afeard, and my hearte sicke. I canne onlye cram, and pray tbatte itt may nott laste alwaye. My doUe is my onlye comforte. Jan. 23. — Under whatte conditions can a morlallc bee happye ! April i. — Some kindjye friendes have provided a goode roome yclept Societye Halle for the reste and use of y ' studentes. I take my guestes thereto, and finde in this abode a goode retreate for a gentill nappe. I forgotte to telle of my class-meeting. There was a goodlie companye presente. Yea, and how those damsells did hoote and yelle ! April the Third. — Fairwelle, little booke. I can no longer spaire y ' minutes to spende with you. (the end.) WELLESLEV LEGENDA. 51 C(am of iH.

(62) (63) 64 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. i)OeiHTlH i). HERE is, perhaps, no phase of college life more significant than that which is represented by her societies. The work of the class-room is, of necessit) ' , limited in its range. There are . certain definite channels to which it must be confined, certain definite lines which it must follow. Beyond these limits the student must make her way unaided and alone, unless in some form there be presented to her the stimulus that can arise only from united effort and a common interest and purpose. To furnish such a stimulus is the function of the college society; and by its work, its influence its results, may be measured with considerable accuracy the conditions and value of the college education. The interest and enthusiasm of Wellesley ' s students of science are stimulated by the monthly meetings of the Microscopical Society. Here papers are presented on topics of interest, investigations are pursued with the aid of the microscope, and the results of scientific experiments are shown by lantern slides. The different departments of science have here an opportunity for exchange of thought and suggestion, thus giving the members of the society a glimpse of the scope of modern science, the breadth of its outlook, and the immensity of its field. What the Microscopical Society does in the realm of science is accom- plished by the Art Society in its own domain. A decided impulse to art study is given by the work of this society, which trains the eye in habits of quick perception and keen observation, while at the same time it keeps the student interested and informed in regard to the work of modern artists, art schools, and art societies. More limited in its range, but no less earnest in its purpose, is the work of the Shakespeare Society. Its aim is to give greater impulse to careful and appreciative study of the author whose name the society bears; to steep the mind in the thought of the greatest of English dramatists ; to view the WELLESLEY LEGENDA. 6$ dramas from every stand-point, — literary, human, ethical, artistic, — and to follow the growth of Shakespeare interpretation the world over. The age of this society, its high aims and excellent work, have giv°n it a prominence which, until recently, has known no rival. From this we turn to two societies whose power and influence in shaping college thought grow mightier and more wide-reaching every day. A some- what unique position among Wellesley ' s societies is that occupied by her Greek-letter societies, Z A and E. Here there is no limit to the fields open to research. Music, literature, art, and politics, — each has its part. Dramatic representation alone is prohibited through outside influence. In the early days of Wellesley, 2, ' and Z A first saw the light, and began their career under the direct guidance and inspiration of the founder of the college. That their influence was then a potent one, despite the brevity of their career, is clearly shown by the enthusiastic fondness felt to this day by its earliest members. With the hand of fate laid heavily upon them for a season, it seemed to the world that Wellesley ' s Greek-letter societies were no more. But in April, 1889, the present societies were chartered, — not, indeed, the old societies, but their successors, receiving the sacred heritage of name, aspira- tions, and general character, to be united to eager new life. With all their versatility, it is to be remembered that the central aim of these societies is fine, scholarly, literary work. To this is added an effort to keep in touch with the current topics of the day, and gain an increased interest in political questions. We may mention the literary papers, the spirited debates, the animated extemporaneous speaking ; and this will give a suggestion of the work done by these societies. But there must ever remain much that cannot be put into words, much that cannot be appreci- ated by any outside the membership. To speak of the delightful social intercourse, the gay yet tender spirit of comradeship, the undercurrent of earnest fraternity, is to give but an imperfect hint of the hundred bonds of union that make the name of one ' s society a magic talisman. By those who are ignorant or devoid of sympathy, it may be and often is urged that the Greek-letter societies detract from the excellence of college work, and draw the students ' best effort away from its legitimate channels. But, so far from doing this, it may be said that the societies but supplement the class-room work and add to its value, by supplying another and powerful incentive to the highest and best achievement. As long, then, as the blithesome owl looks down from his lofty perch in the sacred lodge-room, the wisdom of the ages in his gaze; as long as the mystic lamp sheds forth its dim, religious light, a never-ending inspiration to its priestesses in their search for truth, — so long will 2 and Z A regard as their most sacred trust the honor and the glory of Alma Mater. 66 WKLLESLKY LEGENDA. aKeepeate ocie g Organized 1877.

Yes, (OsV another society, if you will ; but one whose membership taxes .■ neither purse, time, nor strength, through fines, dues, and reg- ular meetings. But the involuntary challenge demands some positive raism d ' ( ' fre, more valid than harmlessness. The object of this new coalition is best shown, not by multiplicity of statements, but by the words of the preamble, which are to place our- selves under conditions which will enable us to do more scholarly work, gain more enjoyment from social pleasures, and surround ourselves with a quiet and wholesome atmosphere. We err, however, in alluding to this as a new departure ; for as early as 1885 a similar association was formed, which died a natural death, by neglect. For the past two years the idea of some organization of students has steadily gained in favor. In the spring of 1890 this desire took tangible form in a constitution signed by twenty undergraduates, and chartered by the Academic Council. Two by-laws, which in no way interfere with individuality, suggest the trend of practical thought. One reminds members that they are in honor bound to acknowledge and observe their own and others ' occupied hours ; the other, that they have the same obligations to refrain from disturbing the occupants of the library and reading-rooms. Judging by the numerous interruptions of busy hours, and by the disturb- ance in the library, such by-laws have a significance. It is also fair to infer that the busy cards may serve as wholesome checks to thoughtlessness and selfishness, although their intended service is as a convenient and authorita- tive business announcement of the ever-changing but no less important hours of consecutive quiet, imperatively needed by every earnest worker. Primarily, the advantage sought and gained from such an association is a closer bond between those who have already a community of interests in the questions which vitally affect student life. Within this body, which is unlimited in number, and is without restrictions as to class or fraternity, there is allowed, at the occasional meetings, frank and free discussion of all general college questions. As an earnest of the interest felt by the author- ities in its quiet but steady growth, the Association has had the pleasure of listening to two addresses by members of the Academic Council and of the Board of Trustees. The future work of the Association is as yet undefined. Friends occa- sionally indulge in this and that day-dream ; but the best certainty is, that in individual life will surely be fulfilled the truth of the motto now so deeply impressed, Veritas vos liberabif.

I am just going to give you a little review of the manth ' s work, to fix a few points in your heads. I want you to write briefly, to give clear-cut answers, and to think quickly. Now ' . — ready ! So said the professor, and in an hour she was looking over a paper like this : — A case of refraction is experienced when the student ' s mind passes from the medium of va ' tion to the denser one of term-time. The mind is bent out of its course. The phenomena of dispersion is sometimes preceded by a brilliant chromatic display ; . i. ' , the festive reception in the Art Building was the immediate precursor of Miss Bothe ' s departure. The critical angle was well illustrated during the fencing exhibition. In some of the postures, a minimum deviation would have produced floorward deflection and accidents. The virtual focus of our energies this month was the Glee and Banjo Club Concert. The real focus was our Physics written review. Ah! sighed the professor; they d not study the charts carefully, and in this last they have just reversed the foci ! (94) Analyse the May-flower? — rather difficult work when one has never studied botany, but we will try. Its color is pink — the shade of promise. It means that summer is coming, that flowers are blooming, that June is at hand — June, when one hundred and one maidens, all delicately ripened, drop from the thrifty tree of knowledge. Now, examine the calyx. This is firm and green, for it was built on the principle of con- test. We must thank the Junior debate and society elections for the foundation — strife in the end cements union. Next, tear away the petals — exquisite things, perfectly shaped. In them are embodied the beauty and grace of The Merchant of Venice. whose gradual unfolding was so pleasant to us one Saturday evening. And here are the stamens, nodding their yel- low heads on their slender stems They mean ectures on Nationalism and the Eight-hour Movement, Luca Fumagalli ' s piano recital and other things that helped to ripen June ' s fruit. No matter about the rest — you can still detect the flower ' s delicious perfume. Other blossoms there are, but none sweeter than this one, — easy, indeed, to tell the species, — this breath of fragrance plainly reveals to us the Junior Promenade of ' oi. I)- ■m°A . .

I WAS walking along the shore of the lake, when I became suddenly aware that its waters were all aglow ; for each tiny wave, chasing its fellow, was flashing with myriad burning points of light. I looked up ; the sky had never been so blue, and all the leaves on all the trees were quivering in the sunshine. Surely, said I, it must be The Day ! And even as I spoke I heard in the distance a faint, sweet sound, like the fragments of an old song. And I seemed to see, circling over the greensward, a group of fig- ures, now approaching, now receding. And they seemed to have flowing robes of bright colors, purple, crimson, and lilac, or the faint green and pink of the sunset sky, and the gold and white of the noonday ; but because they were continually shifting and changing, like the lights on mother-of- pearl, I could not tell clearly what it was I saw, or if it were a trick of the eyes. Only I heard the confused murmur of many voices, like the babble of a far-away brook, and it was like a new song set to old music. As I lis- tened, my heart grew light with bright anticipations and fair promises. And the figures melted away, on the one hand, into the rose-gray of half- forgotten memories, and on the other, into the golden haze of half-revealed hopes. Towards the center, the mass seemed to be parting, and I looked, and saw that they were planting a young tree ; it was a tiny thing, but it stood straight up towards the sky. I turned to my friend beside me. What are they doing? said I. She looked at me with grave, wide eyes. It is for a sign, said she, and a symbol, and a remembrance. It will stretch down its roots into the earth ; it will lift up its head to the sunshine ; it will stretch out its leaves to the forests. Then the mass of confused figures surged round it and hid it, and I heard the ripple of light hearted laughter edging itself through the nuirmuring voices like a zigzag, parti-col- ored thread. And again the music swelled and died away, and, when J lifted my eyes, there was only the green grass and the blue sky. 98 VF,I.LI .SI.i:V LK(iKNn. . A -ain I heard, as it were, the fragments of an old song. I looked a ' ain, and I saw a band of moving figures, robed in dark garments, but the linino-s were white. Also I heard again the confused murmur of many voices, like the sound of the west wind in the pine-trees, and it was like an old song set to new music. I listened, and my heart stirred within me. It was sad and sweet as parting and meeting ; it was like victory, and it was like defeat. I looked, and saw there figures, too, gathered about a young tree ; it was a tiny thing, but it stood straight up towards the sky. And faint echoes of voices came back to me. It is not so tall as we hoped, they said, yet will we be patient. Are its roots deep ? And we — we are not so great as we thought, but — then the words lost themselves in new music, and it was a march tune that I heard, the march with which men go to battle, or women to work. Again the confused mass surged round the tree and hid it. Did it blossom ? I cried, eagerly. Will it bear fruit ? Was it my friend ' s voice that I heard, or was it the memory of an old, old slory — Seed-time and harvest ; while the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest shall not cease ? I looked, and the blue waters of the lake were still palpitating with light. NINETY ' S TREE DAY. A COLOR STUDY. Blue sky and fleecy clouds ; a circle of green lawn, broken by deep shadows ; a throne against the pillars of College Hall, — this is the setting for go ' s Tree Day. Now the living picture enters the frame. First come the ladies from Japan, whose gowns vie with the green of the grass, the yellow of the sun- shine, and the blue of the sky, and all in contrast with their olive skins and black hair. Then follow the loyal few, the forerunners of ' 94, proudly wearing the color of Alma Mater. Next comes a solemn band, ' None-like ' 92, sober, steadfast, and de- mure, their dark robes bringing out in stronger relief the gladness of the sunny sky. Suddenly the winding of a horn, and darting over the plain come Robin Hood and his band of merrie men, all clad in Ivincoln green. Then the happy, graceful children of 93, glistening in white and gold, wind slowly in at the left of the picture ; and now the centre only, lacks its color. Faintly sounds the horn of the herald, announcing the approach of the WELLESLKY LEGENDA. gg princess, with the ladies and students of the court. With solemn step, the royal procession passes through the midst, filling the whole picture with its tinge of lilac and gold, — and the artist ' s work is done. Beautiful is the picture, but more than this is its purpose ; for the court of the princess is assembled to bid farewell to its tree, planted three years before. Standing together in the sadness of parting, the loyal members of the court bind themselves to everlasting loyalty to the College Beautiful and to each other. The scene changes ; another picture is forming. Lilac and gold and rich green are thrown against a dark background ; but filling the whole pic- ture, and crowning it with its glory, is the white and gold of ' 93. Now II Penseroso presents L ' Allegro with the historic spade, and the white-clad figures move away in a joyous and wonderful dance; and, as their robes flutter in the wind and the sunlight glints in their hair, the rhythm of their movements steals over all VVelleslcy ' s daughters, so that they abandon every prosaic thought, and become, each one, a poet, if not in word, yet truly in heart and soul. So ' 90 ' s Tree Day is ended. pastels in prose. ILL USIONS. She thinks she is logical, she can follow her own thoughts so neatly. Reasoning in a circle, she thinks it perfection, for a circle is complete. She thinks she is clever, and she has never discovered that people are thinking of other things besides herself. She thinks she is humble, and she is proud of the fact. PETITE MAJUE. Pretty, dainty little Marie ! Artistic from the knot of wavy hair on the top of her head to the tips of her toes, she is like a pink blossom set among the leaves of ordinary maidens. And the charm of this fair blossom is the charm of graceful motion. Marie dances like a fairy, she plays the banjo with inimitable grace. Picpiant, naive, petite Marie ! Her pretty, sparkling animation lights up the dull commonplaces of life, so that she seems, not a creature of earth, but a brealh from heaven. lOO WELLESLEY LEGENDA. TH£ «i)UT@£l IOt Gll L. She knows so much. Il is a continual marvel to you how much she does know. You think she must be a marvel to herself ; yet she says there is so much vet to learn. She sees knowledge stretching before her like a vast sea, but she never ffoubts she can take it in ; she fully intends to know it all. How, then, can you blame her if she sometimes forgets your trivial existence ? You are not intellectual. II. She was so virtuous. You never saw a hair of her that was not where it should be, and she was laudably anxious that you should wear yours after the same pattern. She was such a model ! She never was vexed ; she was never in a hurry ; she was never late ; she never failed ; she never said what she did not mean to ; she talked beautifully. But you never could resist shocking her, she was so easily shocked. And you had always the feeling that she must have been made by machinery, and wondered what had be- come of the rest of the lot. III. You never could tell what it was about her. She was clever ; but you had known clever people before. She was good ; but you had seen others who were better. Yet you felt insufferably small when you were with her, as if she had been the Grand Mogul. You were conscious you were talking twaddle, though you were not always in the habit of twaddling. You felt that you were boring her, she listened with such patient condescension. You knew you were quite ordinary. But then she was so superior. IV. She never made any pretensions, but she could not altogether conceal herself from you. You perceived the absolute truth of her intellect ; you felt the perfect sincerity of her nature, and you seemed shallow beside her. And, though she never knew it, you uncovered your head in her presence. 2If£ CHRONIC GRUMBLER. She is a monster in disguise. Her nose is apt to betray her, — her perpetual habit of sniffing gives it an upward inclination. She makes every one her confidant, and has a never-ending list of grievances. You hear her somewhat whining tones and note her pensively acid expression at WELLESLEY LEGENDA. lOI all times and places. She never can see the slightest sense in the do- mestic system ; the rules are absurd ; the college laundry imposes upon her in various ways. She is obliged to fast very often, owing to the poor fare. The draughts in class-rooms and corridors endanger her life ; she wonders why she is not dead of a cold, and so do we. Her room is especially unde- sirable. The coach is always late when she wishes to catch a train. She has suspicions of everybody : the elevator girl is saucy ; the maids steal ; very few people are well-bred, and all have glaring faults. Altogether, one cannot imagine why she ever applied for the position of a daughter of Wellesley, and we live in hope that she will one day resign. U THE GIRL WHO TALKS. You like to hear her talk ; she talks well. She is intelligent. She knows how to tell a good story. But sometimes you wish she had been born dumb. You go to a concert ; your soul vibrates to the music of the spheres. She sits behind you. She talks. You become suddenly mundane. You turn and glare at her. She does not see your gaze ; she is talking. You go to a lecture. You are eager to hear. She sits in front of you. She talks. You do not see the lecturer, — you see her head bobbmg. You do not hear the lecturer, — you hear her. You try to transfix her back hair with piercing glances. She does not feel them ; she is talking. And you go home to reflect with sorrow and amazement that the tongue is a very little member. THE FAITHFUL STUDENT. She does not know that her lot is to be pitied, — not she ! She likes it. Her strong characteristic is an abnormally developed conscience, which involves her in all kinds of calamities. It obliges her to refuse tempting invitations, because she has so much work to do. It obliges her to elect uncongenial courses, for the sake of the discipline. It obliges her 102 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. to attend all sorts of meetings, including class-meeting, for the sake of the example. It obliges her to cultivate and live up to various obstinate prin- ciples ; they are not made of well-tempered steel, but of pig-iron. She conducts her behavior in recitation with strict regard to several of these principles. She incessantly asks questions about trivial points, because she has an insane misgiving that she does not quite understand ; she gets fearfully sat on, but she accepts it meekly. She also has an exasperating habit of keeping her hand raised, to signify that she is capable of reciting well on points with which some one else is not so successful. To be sure, she is ; but then the same would apply to all the points in all the lessons, present, past, and future, and it becomes rather monotonous. We could forgive her, if only she would not get her lessons ahead. It is positively galling, say in some language class, to have her translate a page or two which no one else has looked at. This unpardonable sin deprives her of much of the sympathy we ought to give. However, we cannot all be shirks, so let us have compassion on our less fortunate sisters. THE MATHEMATICAL GIRL. If there is any one who exasperates her envious classmates, it is the girl who always knows every point in the mathematics lesson. She is dubbed the mathematical fiend. Because she understands the lesson perfectly, she does not share in the chorus of groans over some knotty problem or clearly manifest point in the text; and her lack of sympathy is bitterly resented by her less fortunate (or unfortunate) companions. She is the bright and shining light of the class, the pride of the professor ' s heart. But she lives in solitude, — a grand solitude, perhaps, with a host of mathematical figures and equations for inspiration, — but, in the busy college world, as utterly alone as an isolated point in space. THE GLRL WHO ASKS QUESTIONS. She early discovered that it was much easier to ask than to answ er ques- tions. She had a way of bringing them out as if she had spent sleepless nights in thinking over them. She found that it gave her an air of intelli- gence. She was skilful in using them to parry dangerous topics from her- self. She had an insatiable thirst for knowledge; she possessed an inex- haustible fund of side issues. Her only fault was that she occasionally lost track of the main argument ; and you had always to reproach yourself with an unseemly delight when this happened. WEI.LESLEY LEGENDA. 103 She had an unfortunate habit of seeing things too clearly. You would elaborate your fine theory down to its least detail ; then she would ask a question, and the whole thing would collapse. You would build up your beautiful fancy; she would put another question, and over it would topple. It was unfortunate. She wished sometimes she had been born blind. III. You are never able to tell how it happens. Here is all lost in a maze of fog ; then she asks a question, and the fog grows luminous. Your ideas untangle themselves, and fall into harmonious order. And she is quite un- conscious all the while ; she is only seeking information. You misjudge her if you think her inquisitive. She is not at all concerned with you, and she does not in the least attend to your answers. It is only her way of making conversation. You meditate on the mystery of questioning; and you remind yourself, as she leaves you, that Socrates was fond of asking questions ; that Pope was called an interrogation point ; that interrogation is probably a mark of genius. Then you console yourself with the reflec- tion that geniuses are rare. THE UArAVOIDABLY DELAYED GIRL. The late Miss Blank is so good-natured and courteous ! She arrives at the literature lecture just in time to hear the professor close her prefatory remarks by saying, And this will be your lesson for next time. But the late Miss Blank, undisturbed, pleasantly requests permission to copy the lesson from her neighbor, thereby causing the neighbor to lose all the notes of the first part of the lecture. She comes to breakfast between the fruit and the oatmeal, and gets down to dinner just as the soup-plates are beino removed, and with the most gentle courtesy asks to be excused. Arriving at her committee meeting when the business is half transacted, she very kindly thanks the chairman for explaining it to her. She is invariably good- natured. In such seemingly trying circumstances, she never loses her temper ! ScbTemljc r. fA. BwT ITS wowTirBLY w«iwr . I Iw « LI-TTlL BiT LOWCl-Y . TOO . Tmc SoJiHowoRt-, Tn.y TO BE KirvD . IV, ,w «A .

But time brings an end to rain and schedules, and Saturday evening found us merrily singing ourselves hoarse in the gymnasium. The Freshmen ought cer- tainly to imbibe college spirit after being taught the cheer. Perhaps they do. The first concert of the season was an out-door affair. Ask the Sophomores about it. They can tell you how they revived the drooping spirits of ' 94 with their joyous choruses; as for the rest of us, we found the evening too wet to be out. The Sophomore reception is said to have been a great success. The decorations were surely pretty enough for any one — that is, for ' 94. The Specials gave their usual reception, while the Juniors developed their artistic gifts at Waban. Freeman, frothing out the foam of its frivolous existence, gave a butterfly tea one afternoon. We are really a festive college. ' - (104) WELLESLEY LEGENDA. 105 JS) (eX - f3 S THE LEGENDA BOARD HAS ITS PJfOTOGRAPH TAKEN. Studio steps, 9.15 on a cohl winter mor?wig.

Then how shall I describe the ' 92 social? sighed an odd figure who looked strangely like Mrs. Jarley. Not at all! declared the scribe, briskly. This prolixity will never do. See here, you come and dictate, — and he summoned a dignified person in a sad-colored gown, — I remember you used to keep a good history note-book. I ought to be writing my essay, murmured the scholar; but I suppose I can sit up to-night. The scribe looked at her pale cheeks, and thought that course of action might have been pursued before, but it was none of his business. He was interested in the tennis tournament, the Waban and Simpson teas, the Concord excursion, and class elections. At this point excitement ran high, and the scholar was so frequently corrected that the scribe scowled until his brows were in a double bow-knot, and cried, Be gone! I will finish myself But everj-one was so enraged at his audacity in tr -ing to describe alone the glories of Hallowe ' en, that they pounced on him and fairly lore him to little bits — but the parchment survived. •- - ( 4) And the children of ttie classes were in the college, and there fell much rain; and for enter- tainment and consolation they had these, — lec- tures and discourses. And their way lay between the Art Building lecture room and the Chapel; and they did find the way very monotonous; and they murmured. And they said, f o, will you bring it about that we perish? Bui the task masters hasted them, and said, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when ye had recreation and rest. And the people cried out, Verily, doth not all work and no play make jack a dull boy; and i-hall Jill, the weaker vessel, not niinish in strength? Give us of the flesh-pots of pleasure, yea, the leeks of frivolity; let us eat thereof. ' Then did Prof. Horsford present them with an Indian dictionary ; now this is a most useful book. But the people hardened their heads, and would not be comforted. Then the people of the tribe of Waban called their friends together, and there was mirth and feasting. And Adamowski came forth and gave a concert of great music, — of sweet, most excellently sweet music. Did not the people go forth the morning of the next day refreshed? And they rejoiced. And the tribe of Ninety-four met together and look unto them a leader; Caroline took they for a leader. And they said, It is well; she lead- eth well. Selah. And the rest of the acts of the people in No- vember, are they not written in the book of chronicles, the Prelude? Yea, verily. (115) Beee ABCR. 1 ,ii On Lectures. There are many tilings whicli can be said of the leciures we have in college, but there is one remark that can never be made, and that is, Alas fir the rarity ! On Plumbing and Draining. The material for this article I obtained from one of the domestic economy students, who went in to the Boston Institute of Technology to fathom the mys- teries of plumbing and draining. Her notes were as fo llows: The Technology students are very numer- ous. Phimbine and draining are n ' cessary sanitary precautions. I wore my new hat. Domestic econ- omy broadens the mind, and fits woman for a high sphere in life. On Class Bulletin Boards. There is something awfully satisfactory about a class bulletin board. You are told in the morning that an important notice will be found on the bulle- tin board, and you know it is the truth. You go about all day happy in the consciousness that when- ever you want you can go and read an important notice, — and the consciousness is very sweet. On the Japanese Bazaar. There iiay be a happy land where funds cease from troubling, and the impecunious are at rest, but it is not at Wellesley. I forget just which par- ticular fund the Japanese Bazaar was supposed to uphold. It was enough that it was a fund. So I went, and took my purse. It would have been easier to have sent my purse without me. I enjoyed it. The tea was good; none of your strong American beverages, but possessed of a taste so delicate, a flavor so subtle, that it fairly escaped you altogether. On the Junior Masque. The Junior reception to the Freshmen is always a success — witness ' yi ' s. . . . The entertainment of this year was a most successful success, as bright in conception as it was dainty in e. ecution. On Vacation. There has been .so much said, and on the whole so well said, that I will not take up the time with further remark. ( 6) WELLESLEY LECiENDA. 117 .xs, rcx. poetic ' XSJ v« 5 AN EDITOR ' S FIJGHT.

And how the Sophomores are wiser This year than ever before, — They are jokes that are worn rather threadbare ; If they ' ll only last one season more ! And then for the Freshmen, why, rhyme me, In a neat little couplet or two, Something about babies and rattles, As the rest of the Annuals do. So saying, I went to leap lightly Astride him, when up he rose in his wrath, And skyward he shot like a rocket. In a perfect parabola path. Then how my poor head did grow giddy ; In terror I cried out aloud, When h e reared himself up on sheer ether. And pawed at the edge of a cloud. And when terra firma received me, The very first word that I spoke Was, Joking may be very funny, But riding the Muse is ' no joke. THE FLOAT. There was a young man at the float Who rowed with a maid in a boat ; Their position was queer, For they both had to steer, And ' twas quite hard to manage that boat. ' Twas a dear little maid at his side. And betwixt them the space was not wide. Cruel calcium light. To reveal that sweet sight, And to make them both eager to hide !

The road was narrow, and we were thus in single file, but still not so far from each other but that talking was easy to and fro, and mutual aid was not impossible. So we went companionably along, I in front of the others, when there rose up before me, like a sudden apparition, a queer, wizened little figure : it was flat and angular, and had the appearance of a botanical specimen which has long been in press ; its little eyes peered sharply through spectacles of an antiquated pattern, and in its hand it held a measuring-rod. ' • Hi ! you there ! it cried to me, Come and be measured ! Who are you? I inquired. I am a spirit, it replied, with solemnity ; in fact, I am T ie Spirit of the Institution. Now, I was somewhat surprised at this; but, having no large ghostly acquaintance, I thought best to hold my tongue, and amicably allowed myself to be measured. Muttering unintelligibly to itself, the figure peered at the scale, then at me, and consulted a small blue book which it held in its hand. Abominable ! it said. ' Dreadful ! Shocking ! Do you know how short you are ? ' I have been busy, I answered, apologetically : I have not thought. Shocking ! it went on. Dreadful ! Abominable ! Vou ought to be two inches, 342 hundredths taller ! And when you are above, too ! Abominable ! Above ? said I. Aren ' t you ahead? it inquired, snappishly ; and, as I admitted that I had indeed started first, it continued, as if to itself,— Ahead, therefore, the head ; the head, therefore, on top ; on top, therefore, above. That ' s logic ; but look at her ! Dreadful ! Where are your stilts ? Stilts ! said I, feeling uncomfortable ; I have never been in the habit of using stilts. Time you were ! it said, and, bringing out a huge pair, insisted on my mounting them. They were somewhat old-looking, and one of them 128 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. was spliced near the bottom, as if it had given way under the last user; and. as it turned them over, I thought I caught sight of the letters S. D. cut on them. 1 was reluctant to mount them at first; but the strange being insisted so strenuously that I consented. I thought, too, it would be rather pleasant to be looked up to. After some awkward attempts, and a little private practice, I was able to manage the stilts sufficiently to go on with my journey, although I was obliged to concentrate my energies more upon myself than I had hitherto found time to do ; and, though I did not find them so much of an addition to my comfort or grace as I had been led to e.xpect, I solaced myself with the thought that at least I was several feet taller than I had been before, or than I could ever hope to be again. II. While I was thus reflecting, my companions were coming up behind me. Hello ! said Two, what are you doing up there ? Now, I did not think this remark showed proper respect ; so I answered, as frigidly as I could, that I was doing my duty ; that, in short, I was being above her. Oh ! said she. We continued silently on our way. Meantime, Three and Four were whispering together. I hoped they were impressed ; but I could not be cer- tain, because I had noticed that they were apt to be susceptible only in cer- tain directions. I shouted down general admonitions to them ; but they seemed to find it so hard to crane up their necks to look at me, that they soon gave over the attempt, and fell to talking among themselves. Two bade Three and Four keep their distances, and furtively eyed the make of my stilts. I was not unwilling she should have a pair suitably shorter than my own. She said perhaps she would ; but she considered her- self already taller than I. She was apt to have strange fancies, however. Three was expatiating to Four on the advantages of being odd. Four said it was much better to be even, and thought herself quite as far along as Three. Three asked her why she did not stay where she was, then ; and Four took refuge in pitying Five because she could not keep up with her. On the whole, I did not find my stilts so desirable as I thought, and they were very unwieldy. I had a sensation that the stilts were carrying me, and not I the stilts. It took all my efforts to keep my balance, so that I missed much along the road. Then one of them gave a sudden lurch, and threw me forward. I got down just in time, for it seemed to be rotten, and likely to break. Then I determined to let them be, and walk on my own feet. I found it a great relief. Two came up, and we fell to talking about what was in front of us, or along the road. Three whispered that it was much pleas- anter to have me down with them. And so we all went on together. Only, when I looked back, I thought I saw a dim figure, shaking its head like a Chinese mandarin. WELLESLEY LEGENDA. 129 3 l7rcc IMcn in i }c Same ' Boat {To sav nothvig of the Dog.) When we started out from the station we were glad and we talked pretty, for we had our best clothes on, and were going to see our brightest and most particular Wellesley stars. We compared notes, and told all the nice little things we ' d said to them, and what they ' d said, and what they probably thought we ' d said, when suddenly George stopped and asked us where we thought we were — and we gave it up. The driver had told us to walk up that way — said it was a short cut ; and so it was, cut off as short as they cut ' em, for a pine wood rose before us. We were disturbed. George ' s language was fluent and varied. Harris made one or two remarks here, which he seemed to think applied to the driver ; and just then a small boy appeared, and I asked him to tell us the way to the college. He said that if he were two sign posts and a railway guide, he might; being only a small boy hampered him. Then he turned us around and walked us sideways and backwards, and said, Now you just follow the road straight, and when it turns you turn with it, and vanished. So we did just as he said, good as gold, and when the road turned we wanted to turn with it, but — well, there may be roads that are credits to their profession, self-respecting roads that don ' t think they ' re crochet work, and twist themselves up into antimacassars, but this road wasn ' t one of them. It looked as if it had gotten mad and kicked itself, and then rolled over, and it rayed out in a way that might have given points to fireworks. We didn ' t stop to argue, we just plunged out ; and by-and-by we clambered up a hill, and then Harris said, Glory be ! Here ' s the college. There it was — that is, we thought it was — and we walked along and looked for the main entrance. I think we walked a mile along the ridge of that hill, looking for a door, but it was no use, there wasn ' t any door, nothing but windows. Then Harris got desperate, and he said things, awful things, and he got a stick, and hammered on the window, and — O-o-o — O-o ! came from within ; Thieves, murder ! But Harris raised his voice, and shouted, Ladies, will you be so kind as to tell us where the door is ? But they just went on screaming, and by-and-by a window above opened, and a quavering voice said, You hold the pistol, and I ' ll pull the trigger — O-o, a man — and an awful silence reigned. And George said, Let ' s go. And we went. (The reason nothing is said of the dog is because there wasn ' t any dog.) N.

He is a dignified person of uncertain age, for he possesses a rose-colored complexion which seems to withstand the flight of years. Many think he has had a history, but the question is not decided. He is always calm, even when his horses are going at a mad gallop, and the coach is full of anxious women. He treats all the feminine world alike with frigid politeness ; one cannot help wondering whether he ever suffered from blighted affection. Still, it is difficult to connect him with sentiment. It is probable that he has never suffered from any more serious wound than the flippant habit some young women have of calling him by his Christian name. To gain his respect, it is only necessary to call him Mr. Dragon. You have never seen him . ' ' That is no proof that you do not know him. To hear him is to know him. He drives his plodding donkey and his milk- cart early in the morning. We lazy creatures open our drowsy eyes to the sound of singing, for Tim always heralds his approach by strains of music. That voice of his reveals worlds of good-nature, but not much tune. When one is only half awake, it is a serious problem to decide whether he is sing- ing a hymn or an old ballad. But why mention the lack of a trifle like tune in the presence of that priceless quality, — good-nature ? I was told to write up Bailey, But really I do not dare. If I put him in the Legenda, He ' ll charge high for being there ! One pe rson in this revered establishment leads an enviable life. Some day, when you are hurrying along the corridors, you will run into him. Steal a glance at him, but do not stare, or he will return the compliment. You will see an exceedingly swell gentleman. He wears a stiff hat, and carries a cane. Very likely he has just been to town to the mxtinee. He goes often ; but pray not to mention it, — he might be reported to the Academic Council. He used to be an actor himself, and has appeared before the foot-lights in high tragedy. Now his foot-light performances are of a different nature. Like a masculine Hecate, torch in hand, he emerges from his remote cavern in the region of silent time. Beware of him at this hour, for thick darkness follows in his wake. 132 WELLESLEY LEGENDA. One of the finest bits of ebony I have ever seen belongs primarily to Domestic Hall. In his leisure moments he sits on the table and plays the f uitar. To rehearse his good points, his duties, or his powers, would be worse than writing a thesis. He is the Lord High Steward of the realm. It is well to have him for a friend. If there is any neat little stratagem or cunning intrigue to be carried through, he is the man to help. He can be all eyes and ears, or blind as a bat and deaf as a stone ; he can assume the air of injured innocence, or of subtle craftiness ; he can be volubly com- municative, or sublimely evasive. In short, he is a veritable Old Man of the Sea, — hard to get hold of, with shapes innumerable, and rich in Machi- avelian wisdom. It was a big hall like an Oriental court. In the centre were tall palms, and the fa9ade of galleries above was supported by marble pillars. Beside one of the pillars was a little table, covered with flowers. Sunny and snowy chrysanthemums were there, and fragrant violets. Beside the little table sat a woman. Presently the deep tones of a bell resounded through the quiet halls ; the immense building became full of life ; girls thronged in a never ending stream. The flower woman was surrounded by eager customers ; the blossoms disappeared, but a small heap of silver coin took their place. Some of the buyers were serious and perplexed, others had a strangely conscious look. One girl bought a bunch of violets, and hurried away with a crimson face, just because some one asked her, Does she like violets . ' ' The yellow chrysanthemums were almost gone, when two customers at once called for them. Both were embarrassed. You take them, said one. No, — you, replied the other. The question was difficult to decide, but at last the first said, You take them, for I sent her some last week, and you haven ' t sent her any for two weeks. So that mysterious she was to have these flowers, too. Who could she have been ? — an eager botanist, or an artistic sister, or a tired mother, or possi- bly some helpless invalid, tied down to a dreary hospital. We can only guess.

We ' re sweeping toward the void vacation-time. And vesper chimes are ringing ouc farewell. We shall come back here some time, I suppose; But when we do, dear March, you won ' t be here. {.

( irand scenery is always an attraction in railroad travel. Peojile travelling from east to west, the question of route conies in, and one of the first things considered is, w hich line affords the best scenery. A little reflection will convince any one that it is the celebrated Iloosac Tunnel Route, which is the Short Line from Boston to Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, and all points west. No other line affords a tunnel ride, and to the traveller there can be nothing of more interest than the ride through this great tunnel, four and three quarters miles long, illuminated in such a manner as to permit a view of the interior of this wonderful cavern, extending through a mountain thousands of feet liigh. This great tunnel is ventilated by means of immense shafts running directly to the sur- face. On the east side is the beautiful Deerfield valley. It is the most charming landscape in all New England, and passengers are always delighted with it. The Hoosac Tunnel Route is one of the best managed in the country. Its passenger service is complete. Large and elegant buffet and parlor sleeping-cars are run through from lloston via Niagara Falls, and over the Erie via Troy and ISinghamton to Chicago and St. Louis. The passenger interests of the road are looked after by a competent corps of officials, and the splendid service offered is due in a great degree to their watchfulness and suggestions. ■- - - FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS, APPLY AT THE FiTCHBURG RAILROAD TICKET OFFICE, 250 WASHINGTON ST., BOSTON, MASS.
