Preface. 7 --- T ' lIEN the present Board first undertook the task of publishing; a Legenda for the 111 Class of ' 94, it was with a very definite idea of what a Legenda should be. J- We believed that it was primarilv intended as a memor ' book for the students, wherein they might find the record of one vear of College life; and that, like all memory books, it should deal principally with the lighter side of that life, — the pleasant ex- periences and amusing incidents, rather than the academic work and intellectual growth. In our attempt to embody this idea in concrete form, we have, of course, n:elwithmany practical difficulties. One of the matters which have been most perplexing to us is that of personalities. When last spring the Class of ' 94 asked permission to publish a Legenda, it intimated its intention of excluding from the book all personal grinds. These the present Board understood as meaning cjuotations with names or initials attached. In the course of our work the suggestion came to us that some might understand the term as meaning any allusion to personal peculiarities or weaknesses, whether in the form of quotations or other- wise. There had been, and is, not only in the Board, but among the students at large, so strong a sentiment against such allusions that it had not occurred to us to define our position in regard to them. They had been excluded as a matter of course. We were therefore per- fectly willing to accept this new definition, which, though wider, reallv limitetl us less than the other, but we still considered ourselves bound by our first interpretation. With this exception, the whole matter of jokes has been left largely to our own discretion, and we have conscientiously tried to make our book satisfactory to both Faculty and students. We feel, therefore, that whatever our mistakes, they are not due to a lack of effort or of desire to please. To those members of the Faculty who have aided us liv their interest and sympathy, to our classmates of ' 94, and to other students who have rendered us assistance, we wish to extend our hearty thanks. The Editors. HEHRY FOWLE DURAHT, JR. HENRY FOWLE DURAHT. PAULINE A. DURANT. Tt)e Poanders of UJeUesleY. HE beautiful storv of tlie founding of Welleslev College is widely known. Sketches of Mr. Dinant ' s remarkable career have not infrec[uentlv appeared in print. The present article aims to be SLipplemental rather than complete in itself, presenting somewhat fully, eyen at the expense of proportion, such data as are new. More- over, previous accounts of the foimding of Welleslev have, naturally enough, thrown the man ' s work and the man ' s life into the foreground. But Mr. Diaant himself would not have had it so. Xone recognized more clearly than he the equal share borne bv ]Mrs. Durant in all the sacrifice, thought, and labor vhich went to the making up of their great joint gift. In the will of 1S70 occurs the emphatic sentence : All the provisions in this will are made with the knowledge of mv beloved vife, and to carr ' out our mutual plans and wishes. Welleslev has two founders. It is proposed in the present sketch to deal more particularly with the woman ' s life and work. Yet, in reality, the two histories are one. The separate life-streams early blend into a single river, known by music and bv shining, by burdens borne and toils promoted, by happy countries watered, bv fear- less flow through sun and shadow to the eternal sea. Irs. Durant comes of a distinguished ancestry. Her mother ' s family bore the name of de Cazenove, honorabh known in France for nearly a thousand years. The Huguenot branch withdiew from their native land at the Revocation of the Edict of Xantes, and estab- lished themselves in Geneva as bankers, dropping their titles as inconsistent with a business career. The deep religious feeling, innate in their Huguenot blood, no less than their financial station and authority, and their alliance with the nding families of Geneva, soon gave the de Cazenoves a high influence in that stronghold of religious liberty. Presently there were to be numbered among them not onl ' successors to the office of Premier Syndic, and other powerful positions, but theologians of eminence. Mrs. Durant ' s grandfather, Antoine Charles Cazenove, was educated for a military career, but developed a taste for financiering. Going to England, he spent three years in the great banking house of the Cazenoves, then ranking with the largest bankers of London. He returned to Geneva on the eve of the Jacobin Revolution, — a miniature copy of the Reign of Terror. He himself, with his father and elder brother, were seized by the mob and thrown into prison, several hundi ' cd other leading citizens of Geneva sufTering the samfe outrage. Not all of the Genevan aris- tocrats were so fortunate as the Cazenoves, who were acquitted and released, their reputation for goodness standing them in stead. Recognizing the precariousness of the times, and seeing the business of the city in confusion, they escaped to Holland, and thence to America. In Philadelphia the brothers met two sisters resident in that city, although natives of Balti- more, whom they afterwards married. Mrs. Durant ' s grandmother was Hogan bv name, of Scotch-Irish extraction, of American birth, of the Roman Catholic faith, — yielding in later life to the Protestant, — and of culture quite exceptional for the women of her day. The perfection of her French is a family tradi- tion and example. She was an excellent Latin scholar, trained by her father, a teacher of eminence, and she was widely read in history ' and literature. Her husband, in facing the rude American conditions of a century ago, displayed the characteristic energy and enterprise of his family. This young Swiss refugee, in company with the Hon. Albert Gallatin, carried the first millstones across the Alleghanies, established flouring mills in the backwoods of Western Pennsylvania, and set up at Uniontovvn the first glassworks in this coimtrv. John Jacob Astor oflered him partnership in his great fur venture ; but ]Mr. Cazenove decided to try his fortunes as a shipping merchant, and would gladly have settled in Philadelphia, then the most considerable seaport of the United States. He was deterred, however, by the ravages of yellow fever there, his wife ' s younger brother being among the victims. The horror of this pestilence, as it raged throughout Philadelphia and New York at intervals during the last decade of the preceding century, may still be realized from the graphic descriptions of our first American novelist. Reading Charles Brockilen Brown ' s Arthur Mervyn, or Ormond, one does not wonder that ]Mr. Cazenove .sought a safer home in Alex- andria, Virginia. The five sons and five daughters who in time enriched the household had the benefit of unusuallv good schools, kept, in part, by women from Massachusetts. Mrs. Diuant ' s mother received her earlier education in these, but was sent, like her sisters, to Mme. Greleaud ' s boai ' ding school in Philadelphia, for the accomplishments, while the brothers were despatched to Geneva. On a visit to Boston, in the winter of 1S30, Miss Pauline Cazenove, singularly fair and winning, met Major Fowle, of the United States Army, and after some months consented to become his wife. The Fowles of Watertown were no less interesting a familv than the Cazenoves of Alex- andria. Captain John Fowle, of English descent, had done good senice in the War of the Revolution, which swept away most of his propertv, together with that of man} ' another patriot. He was a man of lofty principles, not only hating evil, but despising it. Captain Fowle and his wife were reputed to be the handsomest bride and groom ever married in Newton; and their eight children, especially three of the daughters, were famed for extraor- dinary- beauty- It is said that the father would sometimes steal out of the house and close the blinds to shelter his three Graces, as they sewed or read by the window, from the lingering looks of the passers-by. The standing toast through Middlesex County was the couplet, origi- nating with Robert Treat Paine, — To the fair of every town, And the Fowle of Watertown. ' It was on many accounts a remarkable family, and one of peculiar interest to Wellesley College. The mother, Mary Cooke of Newton, was the daughter of Abigail Durant of Newton, from whom our founders take their name, and the sister of Susanna Cooke, who married Dr. Walter Hunnewell of Watertown, a Harvard graduate of 17S7, these being the parents of our neighbor across Waban. The youngest Miss Fowle, the all-admired Adeline, married Mr. Samuel Welles, who came to be the leading American banker in Paris. Mr. Welles was born in Natick, and from his father ' s family the town of Wellesley received its name. A sister of Mr. Welles, tiie banker at Paris, married her first cousin, Arnold Welles of Boston; and the Welles estate, now enlarged and known as the Hunnewell estate, was inherited by their daughter, the late wife of the present proprietor. But we must not let these fascinating Fowles fly away with us. Our concern is not with the beautiful Charlotte, who married Benjamin Wiggin, a successful American banker resident in London ; nor with the gentle Maria, whose husband dreamed of the burning of Moscow at the verv time wlien the conflagration was in progress; nor with the gallant young midshipman who fell in a duel with a British naval officer; nor with the graceful Eliza, who was said to be the only woman in Boston who could wear the long shawl elegantly; nor with the dazzling Adeline of Paris and Versailles, who, after the death of her husband, Mr. Welles the banker, married the Marquis de La Valelte, a diplomat who rose under Napoleon III. to be Minister of Foreign Affairs, and, later, Ambassador to the Court of St. James. But there are two of this brilliant household group in whom Wellesley has ever) ' right to be interested : Harriet, most intellectual of all the children, a passionate lover of books, the soul of honor, impulsive and imperious, with an irresistible charm of her own, who became the mother of Mr. Durant; and John, the Major Fowle already mentioned, who became the father of Mrs. Durant. Major Fowle was a man of two-score years when he made the acquaintance of Miss Cazenove. He had served in the War of 1S12 on the New York frontier, and had taken part, 13 witli tliat illustrious corps known as Scott ' s ]5rigade, in the Niagara Campaign, remaining at the head of his company through the battle of Lundy ' s Lane, regardless of the wound he had received early in the action. He was much engaged, later, in the Indian wars on the frontier, in Arkansas and Minnesota. He was, like his father, a man of purest integrity, his nickname being Honest Jack. A strict disciplinarian, he was a commander who could command him- self. Card-playing, for instance, had been an accustomed pastime at home, but as soon as he noted its demoralizing effect upon the soldiers in garrison, he woidd no longer allow it either to his men or to himself. He made it understood that he counted it an aHVont to he invited to a card party; and so resolute and consistent was his opposition to cai ' ds in garrison, tliat his superior officers were embarrassed to be discovered b3- him in a game. There was nothing petty in his natme. Even the keeping of accounts was given up by him, because he would not, as he said, attach such consequence to a sixpence. Major Fowle exemplified the truth of the poet ' s words, The bravest are the tenderest. He appears to have been cjuite the ideal lover, yet with a margin of courtesy and kindness for others than the sovereign lady. A sister of his betrothed refers to him, in a letter now vellowed with the years, as the most thoughtful and considerate man for one in love we ever knev -. ' And another of these treasured letters of long ago bears this enthusiastic testimony : Sophia, Charlotte, and myself have unanimously agreed that since the creation of the world no lover ever was half so attentive and agreeable as the Major. The marriage took place in May of 1S31, and on the thirteenth of June in the following year was born, in Alexandria, the daughter without whcjm Welleslev College would never have been. She was a traveled baby. At the age of three months she journeyed on a pillow to Sault Ste. Marie, where Major Fowle was stationed. It was no easy trip in those early days. There was one little strip of railroad in Western New York, but apait from that and boats of one sort and another, the travelers had to depend on such rude vehicles as they coidtl obtain over frightful roads with gaping holes, of which it was said you could lose a wagon in anv one of them and never miss it. The little party went to Fort Brady by the last boat of the fidl, and were ordered to take their departure by the first boat of spring. The conditions of life there at the Sault were rough and primitive. Yet by the infrequent mails, carried on snowshoes or by dog teams, cheery letters went out from the brave young bride and her proud husband to the anxious people at home. The playful tone of the letter from which the following extracts are taken, a letter from Major Fowle to one of his wife ' s sisters, written in midwinter from the icebound, fort, shows how warm and happy were those wedded hearts among the snows. 14 My dear Sister : I have been trying in vain to get my wife to give vou some account of her sudden change as respects her opinions of the natives ; therefore I must do it mv-self. A few days after our arrival here we walked out, to see and be seen. We came in sight of a number of wigwams; I proposed we should go and visit them. We went to the opening of one and found it occupied by a number of male Indians. After looking at them for a few moments we proceeded to another, and found it filled with females (Indians). Pauline entered into conversation with them in Frencli, and I assisted with Indian; at last one of them said, in English, that she (Pauline) was very beautiful. This, of course, I agreed to. But it is astonishing what a change it has wrought. She never speaks of the Indians except she remarks what shameful treatment they have received from the whites, and, finally, by saying she feels for them, and they are a much-injured people, etc. . . . The two Paulines are in good health, and are quite contented with their situation. The little pet is very good-looking (the mother says, a great beauty), and looks, as all say, very much like her father. . . . Pauline has found lier French of some use here. A Frenchman came one day to sell some partridges ; he could not speak Engli-sh, and she was called upon to make a bar- gain with him. The poor fellow was delighted to find she could speak French, and said he would come frequently to sell to her, and that his wife was very sick, and she would be much pleased to talk with her. I presume he thought his wife would be recovered by Pauline ' s conversation. As for making bargains, your sister is a very good Cazeno ' e at it; our money here is bread tickets, say two and a quarter poimds, which cost us five cents. In the spring of 1S33, Major Fowle was ordered to Fort Dearborn, Chicago, to relieve troops that had been there during the Black Hawk War. At this time there were no regular chaplains in the arin} ' , and Major Fowle invited the home missionary, Mr. Jeremiah Porter, a great grandson of Jonathan Edwards, to accompany him. Mr. Porter had come out to Sault Ste. Marie the year before, and had organized a little Presbyterian church there. As the re- moval of the troops virtually removed his congregation, and as there was already a Baptist chinxh at the Sault, where the Pre.sbyterian remnant could be cared for, Mr. Porter accepted the Major ' s invitation. Many years after, the veteran missionary spoke with pleasine of the little child who brightened the deck of the small schooner that brought the troops to Fort Dearborn. The new arrivals at Chicago, in this spring of 1S33, foimd themselves on the edge of the flowering prairie in a straggling, waterside village, where two-story frame houses were just beginning to go up among the log cabins, — a village of bareh ' three hundred inhabitants, in- cluding soldiers, traders of the American Fur Company, Indians, trappers, roughs; hard and wild characters, in the main, with a leaven of four praying men among them. These four gave delighted welcome to the newcomers; for the garrison embraced eighteen professing Christians, in addition to the missionary, and their coming was to the discouraged few like the bursting out of the sun from the darkest clouds. The new conunand, well-drilled and •5 well-principled, was, indeed, welcome to all ; for these pioneer settlers knew what it was to suffer from disorderly, pilfering soldiers. The Major had been in Fort Dearborn before, and the excellence of his discipline was well known. Now !Major Fovvle has come, said the people, we shall be able to keep some chickens. The Major, although a regular attendant at Sunday service and at Bible class, was not enrolled upon the list of church members. Yet he reverenced his wife ' s Christian devotion, and worked with her for the promotion of Mr. Porter ' s labors, feeling that religion would be a sovereign agent for tiie regenerating of society in those frontier posts. On the first Sunday at Fort Dearborn the Major had the car- penter ' s shop swept out and rudely furnished with seats for service ; and from this humble yet appropriate origin sprang the earliest church of Chicago. While the infant church was making its vay, — with its plain little house of worship out on the open prairie, its one silver sacramental cup, and its Sunday-school library that could be comfortably carried in a silk handkerchief, — Major Fowle had been promoted to West Point, as Instructor of Tactics and Commandant of the Corps of Cadets, winning here, as everywhere, universal confidence and esteem. It was said that the discipline had never been so good and so uniform, nor the cadets so well satisfied, as under Major Fowle ' s command. Here, at West Point, the little Pauline passed five sunny years, a baby brother and a baby sister claiming much of her childish attention. The stmdy tot, already possessed of more than her share of logic, was concerned that the tiny sister in long clothes did not go outdoors to play. Mamma, if you don ' t send Annie out to walk, she ' ll never know what kind of an earth God has given her to walk on. Upon Annie she promptly bestowed her Mother Goose, finding that classic worthy such an intolerable liar, I can ' t stand her; but Annie is too young to be hurt. She can just look at the pictures. Pauline was a budding financiei ' , liking to save her pennies until they counted up to a goodly sum ; while poor Annie, as the elder sister said disdainfully, never could keep two pennies to rub against each other. The little maiden was carefully trained in all womanly arts. ' erv neat and even are the many stitches in the pretty hussy laboriously fashioned as a gift foi ' the handsome soldier papa, who had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and ordered to Florida, to take command of his regiment in the Seminole Indian Wars. The hussy was in his trunk when the Colonel, having placed his family temporarily in Alexandria, embarked at Cincinnati on the steamboat Moselle. The vessel was urged beyond her power, the boiler burst, and in the terrible disaster that filled the papers of the day, no manlier life was blotted out than that of Colonel Fowle. His wife, almost crushed by the shock and sorrow, began to lean upon her i6 eldest child, the little daughter not yet six years of age, who was to be for more than half a century to come the widow ' s earthly strength and stay. Mrs. Durant still remembers the sense of childish importance with which she led her toddling sister to the dressmaker, to see about their mourning dresses; for the mother, in the apathy of grief, left to this faithful five-year-old the choice and planning of the pitiful little frocks. The child ' s remarkable thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility had already been strikingly exemplified on the night of her father ' s death, — a catastrophe of which, in those days before the telegraph, the family still remained unconscious. A fire raged in the town; neighboring houses were in flames, and the children, caught up from their beds, were hurried away to a place of satety. But the sleepy little Pauline had a parting charge for her excited mother: Mamma, don ' t forget papa ' s trunk with the valuable pajjers in it. This capable, small mortal also took it upon herself to look after her mother in traveling, as her father had always done, but with the reticence of childhood she confided to no one how sorel} ' it galled her little soul to go on a half ticket. Her joy was great when, having passed her eighth birthday, the railroad officials could no longer brand her as half a person. The years in Alexandria were quiet, the natural mirthfulness of childhood subdued by the abiding shadow of sorrow. In less than two 3ears from the father ' s death the baby boy slipped from human hold, and three years later the little sister followed. The one surviving child, early learning the great lesson of self-forgetfulness, was ever her mother ' s comforter. Visiting aunts in Boston during this period, little Pauline, eight years of age, came to know her cousin Henry, ten years her senior, and then a student in Harvard. The poet- hearted youn g collegian, handsome, as became his Fowle descent, won the friendship of the gentle child, whose appearance at the time he afterwards tenderly pictured in verse. I well remember, cousin, What voii, perchance, forget; That fair child, like a rosebud, The dew upon it yet. That sweet face, like a rosebud Just opening to the air, With something of a maiden, More of an an el there. A pensive grace, dear cousin, And a thoughtful look was there. Like a loving girl ' s in reverie, Or a mother ' s in her prayer; But wiien she plaved in childish glee, And gayly laughed the while, A beauty like a breaking wave Beamed ever in her smile. The little girl ' s education was carcfullv looked after. In addition to her mother ' s teach- ing, she attended for some time a private school in Alexandria, kept by a Mrs. Kingsford, an 17 English ladv, wife of a Baptist clergyman. At home, meanwhile, she was thoroiighlj ' trained in music and drawing, fine sewing, elaborate cooking, and all the domestic arts. Oh, yes, a teasing uncle used to say, we shan ' t keep her long. When she comes home from boarding school we ' ll put out a shingle to tell the world that within may be found the yoimg lady who, at the age of thirteen, could make anything that man requires, from a shirt to a loaf of cake. We ' ll not lie bothered with keeping her long. The boarding school chosen was one of the leading institutions of the day, — a French es- tablishment in New York City, under the charge of M. and Mtne. Cauda. The earnest- spirited young Southerner would have preferred Mount Holj ' oke Seminary, but here her mother stood firm. Mrs. Fowle had heard that at Mount Holyoke the custom prevailed of introducing the girls to foreign missionaries who came wife-hunting, and this precious, only daughter could not be so jeopardized. Mrs. Durant gives amusing accounts of the conditions of life in this fashionable lioarding school, where the studies were conducted for one half the day in English, and for the other in French. The girls slept in dormitories, the long dormitory holding thirty of the little iron beds. At the first bell the girls sprang to their feet with military promptitude, sleepilv hurrying on stockings, slippers, and dressing gowns, turning back beds, opening windows,, and betaking themselves with all inconvenient speed to the general dressing room above. Here some sixtv toilets were simultaneously performed, the girls seeking shelter between the open doors of the tall presses that shared the wall space with the rows of washstands. Ablu- tions before these washstands were attended with thrilling perils. If water was spilled upon the floor, the culprit had to copy pages upon pages of French poetry. If the slop was excep- tionally sloppy, the French poetry — for which one feels acutest sympath - — had to be learned by heart. After these appalling toilets the girls flocked back to the dormitories, made their beds, went to the schoolroom for prayers, and hungrily listened for the breakfast bell. Here Mrs. Durant passed the years from fourteen to eighteen, making girlish friendships, and probably learning as much as if she rose later in the morning. The processional prome- nade along Broadway was not to her liking, and she was allowed to substitute for it exercise in one of the earliest gymnasiums of the city. The Sundays were usually spent with an aunt in Brooklyn, to whom Mrs. Fowle, who could not long be absent from her daughter, often came for extended visits. There were occasional trips to Boston, too, bringing renewal of friendshid between the winsome schoolgirl and the brilliant, though reluctant apprentice to the law. ]Mr. Durant had had, as a child, an insatiate love of reading. To lie on the sofa with a book was his delight, in which his parents acquiesced as the surest recipe for keeping their wide-rtwake bo - out of mischief. He was a chivalrous little fellow, with romantic day dreams of his own, and in his boyhood an ambitious class student. But his Harvard educa- tion was largel} ' acquired in the college library. I studied immensely the last part of the time I was in Cambridge, he said, and to great advantage. I had but few recitations, and saw scarcely anyone, so that I had plenty of time. Greek was a favorite study with him, but he devoted much attention to English, reading widely and deeplv, and practicing himself in verse composition, as well as prose. He dreaded the law, being haunted by that horrid dream of a legal profession. But after graduation from Harvard, at nineteen, he tlutifully enteied the law office of his father, Mr. William Smith, in Lowell, the family having removed thither from Hanover, New Hampshire, wheie Mr. Durant was born. Writing to a friend, the young graduate said: I shall studv law for the present, to oblige father; he is in some trouble, and I wish to make him as happ ' as possible. The future course of my life is undetermined, except that all shall yield to hoi} ' poetry. Indeed, it is a sacred duty. 1 have begun studying law ; don ' t be afraid, however, that I intend to give up poetry. I shall always be a worshiper of that divinity, and I hope in a few years to be able to give up everything and be a priest in her temple. One year of Blackstone called out this second confidence : I have not written any poetry this whole summer. Old Mrs. Themis says that I shall not visit any more at the Miss Muses. I ' ll see the old catamaran hanged, though, but what I will, and I ' ll write a sonnet to my old shoe, directly, out of mere desperation. Pity and sympathize with me. After eighteen months of such tyrannical law studies, Mr. Durant, in the spring of 1S43,. his twenty-first birthday hardly passed, was admitted to the bar. Henceforth there was little opportunity for poetry. His legal practice ruthlessly swept him into the current of practical atlairs. It was impossible, he wrote, to imagine a school better fitted than this to develop any latent talent for business, and for breaking up any tendency toward literary tastes. However incompatible legal pursuits may be with writing poetrj ' , they fortunatelv admit of living poetry. But before love in its fullness should reawaken the benumbed spirit of song in the young lawver ' s heart, several years were yet to intervene. For him these were vears of intense mental activity. His genius, which many believed to be of the highest order, was primarily a genius for labor. He removed to Boston, establishing his law oflice in the northeast corner of the old State House, and changing his name, because another Henrv W. Smith was already practicing law in Boston, to Henry Fovvle Durant. In Boston his law partner was !Mr. Joseph Bell, brother-in-law of Rufus Choate, in Lowell his father, and his law business was divided between .Suffolk and Middlesex Counties. Rufus Choate began to 19 employ him as junior counsel, — an association of great and varied benefit to the younger man, who spared no toil to gain the phenomenal success which soon was his. At the Middlesex bar he was always in his place, and always alert. He had few associates, every hour of his time being absorbed by his profession. He apparently took little notice of current questions of the day. Sometimes he was genial, and sometimes icy, often preoccupied, absorbed, in- tense, and perhaps imperious, mysteriously making up a case, presenting it, and then retiring, only to reappear when he had a new case to win ; never reall} ' happ ' imless untiertaking some work of surpassing difficulty, which might fully tax all his powers. It was said of him that he was more frequently employed in what were considered desperate cases than any other lawyer of his time. An eminent man in his profession said of him that ' he was the most persistent, persistent, persistent man he ever saw. ' Meanwhile, his destined wife was ripening in every womanlj- grace. After her four years at boarding school were ended, she visited, with her mother, Trenton Falls, Niagara Falls, and Sharon. Here Mrs. Fowle had a hemorrhage, which determined them on spend- ing the next two winters in the south of Europe. The first of these was passed with Mrs. Wiggin, at the villa of the Marquise de La Valette, in Southern France, and the second in Rome, Florence, and Naples, their summer travels extending into Switzerland, England, and Scotland. On their return home, Mr. Durant, all engrossed with his profession as his asso- ciates supposed him to be, found time to meet them in New York. But his beautiful cousin passed the following winter south, in Augusta, Mobile, and New Orleans, and it was not initil the latter days of November, 1853, that his soul, long turned to hers, — so his poems whispered, — Like a pilgrim to liis shrine, knew its devotion accepted. There was one more winter of separation, in which blithest, sweetest love songs winged their way from the lawyer ' s desk, where the tedious writs and briefs must have marveled at them, to Washington and Alexandria. But Mr. Durant had already a practice of ten thou- sand dollars a year, and the marriage was not delayed. In the following May, her mother ' s wedding month, this younger Pauline wore the bridal veil. Then came household happiness almost unalloyed, love, as the lover had prophesied, deepening with the years. To Pauline. Tell me not that love is fleeting, Every day our love grows dearer, That its brightness fades away; Every night love ' s holy prayer While the hearts within us beating Makes the lofty sky seem nearer, Promise love and truth for aye. While the star of love is there. Love is still a child immortal, And his wings will soon expand, As we near the shadowy portal To that other promised land. Whether born in joy or sorrow, Whether crowned with thorns or flowers, Love looks forward to a morrow In a brighter world than ours. Past the sleep that knows no waking. Past the night that turns to day. There the dawn of love is breaking, There the shadows pass away. Their Boston home was located, first, on the corner of Bowdoin and Allston vStreets. In iS6o they removed to 77 Mt. Vernon Street, and in 1S6S to Mrs. Durant ' s present residence, 30 Marlborough Street. The Wellesley estate was purchased the year after the marriage, and here the summers were spent in what is now known as the farmhouse. The young wife delighted in putting to use her domestic accomplishments. In these first summers at Welles- ley she used herself to skim every pan of milk that came into the house, and make all the preserves and delicacies. She loved the grounds, and knew each tree by name. She was interested in raising fowls, and was so proud of nineteen baby turkeys, of a choice breed from Brandywine, that on a stormy night she and her husband both rose to the rescue of that pre- cious brood. While Mr. Durant groped about in the thunderstorm, and hunted down, by the flashes of lightning, one aflrighted turkevkin after another, until all the nineteen had been caught, Mrs. Durant made a fire in the kitchen stove, and tenderly taking each little gobbler as it was triumphantly presented by its dripping deliverer, put a drop of wine down its throat and deposited it in a basket in the oven, to dream co .ily of Thanksgiving Day until it had recovered from its chill. In the spring of 1855 g ' ' eat joy befell them in the birth of their only son, Henry Fowle Durant, Jr., and in the fall of 1S57 ' I ' ttle Pauline Cazenove gladdened the household for a brief six weeks. The death of this infant was a poignant sorrow to the parents. Added to her maternal mourning was Mrs. Durant ' s keen disappointment that the pain of this loss did not turn her husband ' s heart to the Divine comforter. She had herself united with the Presby- terian church when a schoolgirl, in 1S47, and was as unswerving in her Christian faith as she had ever been untiring in Christian service. Mr. Durant was a man of essentially religious nature. An extract from a letter written soon after his twenty-first birthdav to a college friend is evidence enough of this, although other evidence, as his admiration for the Bible, or his pleasure in the church service, is not wanting. The letter runs : — Dearest Holker : I have but one word to write to you, and that is immortality. It is all I have learned tor a year, and yet the time has been well spent. Henceforward there is nothing to fear in life. It came at the right time. Sick with labor and sorrow, in the cold winter night I stood by the great river, and from the wind among the treetops, and the bright stars, and the ceaseless voice of the waters, I heard the one word that gives life and strength, and from that time there is no need of sorrow or of weariness. But with all his delicate instincts and noble aspirations, Mr. Durant had never yielded his will to God. He now sought escape from sorrow in the rapid rereading of the VVaverley novels, replying to his wife ' s entreaties, You must take yoiu- medicine in your way, and I must take mine in mine. Tlie father and mother, thus bereaved, lavished their love all the more abundantly upon their boy, an exquisite child of rare intellectual promise. Generous-hearted, atVectionate, and fearless, inheriting the beauty and high spirit of his parents, this cherished son, The hyacinthine boy, for whom Morn well might break and April bloom, — The gracious boy, who did adorn The world whereinto he was born, delighted his father ' s pride and stimulated his father ' s ambition, giving impetus to every toil and significance to all the future. He was his mother ' s close companion and daily joy. Before her his childish heart lay as an open volume, white of leaf. A friend wrote: One incident which occurred only a few days before he was taken ill, I recall at this moment. Willie, of whom he was very fond, said, ' Harry, I ' ll tell you something if you wont tell any- body. ' ' I ' ll tell my mamma, ' answered the dear child ; ' I always tell my mamma everything I know. ' In his ninth year Harry suddenly sickened and died, and through that illness and that death the father ' s life was consecrated to God. This was the mother ' s consolation, — a joy even deeper than her unutterable sorrow. Ever sacred to Wellesley College must be the prayer written at this time by Mr. Durant for their use together, antl daily repeated by them for many years : — O Eternal and Holy Jesus, because we humbly lielieve that out of th ' great and tendei mercy toward us thy servants, thou hast not been willing to spare to us the life of our beloved boy, but hast taken him as a little lamb gently up in thine arms to bear him to sweet and sacred pastures in thine own Emmanuel ' s land, therefore we do beseech thee to make this great sorrow to be to us a means of salvation, a fountain of immortal hopes and consolations. Grant to us, in our luunilitv, the abiding faith that this our son is not dead, but is alive again ; that he hath not been taken away from us, but has gone his way before to the Celestial City, where we, too, may soon enter in to be led bv him to thy feet, if we through our sincere repentance and by thy saving grace may at last win pardon and remission of our sins. We beseech thee, also, O Lord, that it mav not be counted as a sin in us if we, in all humilit3 ' and lowliness of heart, do now in our affliction cherish the faith that this, our dearlv beloved son, has fulfilled the mission given to him bv his Father in Heaven, by teaching to us, his earthly parents, through his death, the worthlessness and vanity of all that this world can give or take away, and, that mission ended, he, innocent and pure, has gone before us to lead us in the way of salvation. We pray thee also, O Lord, that through thy holv blessing we maj ' , each day that we live in this world, cherish alwavs the sweet and precious memorv of this our beloved and only son ; and grant of thv most merciful kindness that our love for him and his love for us, so true and so tender that it never knew any change or shadow of turning, may become a holy and blessed means of leading us from sin, and all the temptations and sorrows Jind vanities of this evil world, to the only life which is eternal and that fadeth not away. O Christ, teach us to say, the Lord gave, and the Lord taketh awav ; blessed be the name ot the Lord. And, oh, Lord Jesus, because thou hast also said, out of the great tenderness of thy divine love, ' Sutler the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God, ' we do, therefore, beseech thee that through thy abiding mercy we may receive the Kingdom of Heaven as little children, and may one day stand at thy feet with this our departed child, all our sins forgiven through our sincere repentance, by the mystery of thy redeeming blood and pardoning grace; there with him, and with our little daughter, who went before, to worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, forever and forever. A few months after the child ' s death, Mr. Durant, who, fame and fortune and the highest legal honors at his command, had quitted the bar, and entered, this layman of seraphic speech, into the preaching of the gospel, said to his wife : — Wouldn ' t vou like to consecrate these Welleslev grounds, this place that was to have been Harr ' s home, to some special work for God. ' On such high foundation stands Welleslev College. From such a costly loss arose our gain. We know the story of the deciding, the planning, the building, the ojsening, the or- ganizing, — of all the splendid energies poured into the work by brilliant brain, and fervent heart, and unconquerable will. At last the dream of youth came true. At last the baffled poet wrought his great life poem, but out of materials richer than words. Once a year we are hushed in chapel to hear again the inspiring historv and receive the solemn message of 23 that founder who is no longer in our sight. But the beloved founder who is yet with us hides herself so modestly from recognition and from praise, that of her we know far less than we would. Yet we cannot be altogether unaware of the ceaseless benevolence of that most fruitful life. Trained in childhood by her mother ' s precept and example to enrich the gift of money by the gift of service, the little hands accustomed to sewing for the poor, the little voice to reading for the blind, Mrs. Durant in womanhood has borne rich ]iar est of good seed. When a girl in Europe, surrounded by gayeties, she made opportunity for visit- ing prisons and other refuges of sin and miserv. And so, after their home was left unto them desolate, while the husband held great audiences enthralled bv his impassioned preaching, the wife as binding up broken hearts in Dedham Asylum, in Bridgewater Workhouse, in Boston Jail. For seven years Mrs. Durant served on the Advisory Board of the Massachusetts Prison Commission. For twenty-five years she has been — and always by unanimous elec- tion — the President of the Board of Managers of the Boston Young Women ' s Christian Association. To this latter institution, as to Moimt Holyoke, she has given generouslv of her substance. Her specific gifts to Wellesley it is impossible to completely enumerate. She has for- gotten, and no one else ever knew. So long as Mr. Durant was living, hu.sband and wife were one and inseparable in service and donation. But since his death, while it has been ob- vious that she spends herself unsparingly in college cares, adding manv of his functions to her own, a continuous flow of benefits, almost unperceived, has come to Wellesley from her open hand. Freeman Cottage has arisen, furnished and adorned; Waban Cottage has been enlarged, the Eliot established ; ice houses have been built, and homes for the college work- men. Valuable tracts of land have been piuxhased. Town water has been brought into the outlying halls and buildings, the gymnasium has been equipped, the chapel, kitchen, and laundry supplied with ventilating apparatus. The Botanical department, the Zoological museum, the art collections have received varied and valuable contributions. The beautiful Jarvis collection of laces, embroideries, and stuff ' s has been placed in the Farnswortli School of Art. Precious engravings have slipped themselves into the Shakespeare cabinet. A fine bronze placque in honor of Prof. Horsford has been hung in the lihrarv. Cut flowers and plants from Mrs. Durant ' s conservatory have continually found their way to studio and bot- any class, to student frolic and academic festival. But these and such as these, representing although they do thousands upon thousands of dollars, are the least of Mrs. Durant ' s gifts to the College. She gives us an abiding example of magnanimous character, of Christian consecration. We know her for a shining spirit. 24 She lavishes her very life in labor of hand and brain for Wellesley, even as her husband lavished his. To this work of God she gives herself, and she gave him. It was a woman ' s prayer that blossomed in every Christian deed of his. I venture to quote from a personal letter written by Mrs. Durant this spring of ' 94. I gave mvself to the Lord, Aug. 33, 1S47, and have ever tried to consecrate to Him all He has given me since. This dedication of myself was a distinct act, and when God gave me the love of Henry F. Durant ' s soul, I gave that to Him also. Katharine Lee Bates. s HELEN AL MRA 3HAFER, A. A., Ph D. (ilimp5e5 of I ss 3f)afer. I 7V E7V OI I7 7V . SS I sit and ponder how it is possible for me to attempt even a very superficial record for tiie ' 94 Legenda of one whose going away has marked the year 1894 with a long shadow for each Wellesley student, there are two or three pictures which rise to mv mind, and which may not be inappropriate to these pages. To the old girls there is one spot in the great College dining room which presents a series of memory pictures. In each one a tall, dignified woman, with an interested, sym- pathetic face, is the center. The table in the northwest corner was the one long known as Miss Shafer ' s table. Those who have been her table girls realized how fully the dinner hour was a period of relaxation. Then was the time to tell all the fun and frolic, and many- were the good times then and there planned. Each was sure of an appreciative listener; each felt sure that behind the smiles was an unusually keen and true sense of justice. From that sense came the confidence in the wisdom of any decision which jNIiss Shafer might make. The fact that sometimes the fun narrated was not approved of, hindered in no measure the account of the next lark. On e never feared that her appro al might be warped by her former dis- approval, especiallv if she had the good fortune to hear, You girls did me so much good; your fun and frolic was such a relief after the work of the day. At the table the frail health of Miss Shafer was more apparent, perhaps, than anywhere else. The carefully regulated diet, the fear of chill air, the love for all that was dainty in china and service, were part of a delicate constitution. To a few of these table girls came the privilege of gathering for an hour after dinner one day in the week in Miss Shafer ' s room, while she read aloud. To some of them, Little Lord Fauntleroy will always possess an especial charm because introduced by Miss Shafer ' s appreciative voice. In each memory picture the forms of the girls who played a part in these homey times fade into dimness, and the central figure stands forth, serene and dignified, full of interest and sympathy, inspiring and begetting confidence — one to be trusted. Because of this knowledge of interest, sympathy, and justice, other memory pictures now exist. To all Wellesley girls the President ' s office is familiar. The editors of the first 27 Legenda have only the pleasantest recollections of that office. Whether the sun streamed through the long windows, flooding all the room with sunshine, as it has a way of doing, or the rain beat against the windowpane, the recollections are always happv. From the first application from the Class of ' 89 for the issue of a college annual, Miss Shafer was always full of interest. Throughout its whole career she gave her hearty support. In each detail she was interested. When she felt unable to give her consent to the insertion of some feature, she always gave her reasons as fully as she could. Occasionally she would sav, Personally I should have no objection to that, but it does not seem wise to introduce it ; I would not. This warm interest has been extended through all the vicissitudes of the Legenda. There can be but few, if any, of the Wellesley students who knew Miss Shafer as Presi- dent, who have not had similar experiences in that little office. Perhaps sometimes it would seem that Miss Shafer saw manifold objections, and that the petitioner would go away with a feeling that her request would not be granted, only to find that it was granted more fully and completely than she had hoped. Perhaps she would go away feeling angry because her request was refused. I think that could not have happened often, and I have yet to find the Wellesley student who could not and would not sav, I can always feel sure of the fairness of Miss Shafer ' s decision. Again and again have Wellesley students said, She treats us like women, and knows that we are reasoning beings. There is another glimpse which is a most familiar one. It is that of Miss Shafer in her own parlor at Norumbega, graceful, cordial. Then, more than at any other time, in long, friendly talks did her absolute absorption in the College come out. It was her life. She seemed to have scarcely a thought beside it. She was so eager to develop it from all sides. Wellesley ' s interests were her own. Often she has said, I feel that one of Wellesley ' s strongest points is in her alumna. And once more, because of this confidence, the alumnae, as when students, were spurred to do their best, were filled with loyalty for their Alma Mater. Miss Shafer always welcomed with cordiality any plan or suggestion which an alumna might have for any department of college life and work. An alumna could not but feel that she had come into special privileges in knowing how activeh ' , wisely, and progressively Miss Shafer was engaged in pushing the interests of the College. It could not but fill one with amazement to see the manifold threads which so delicate a woman could hold and control. That they wore upon her more than any one was conscious is now apparent. Her delight in the tales and jokes of which her keen sense of humor made her the more appi ' eciative, was no doubt enhanced by a desiie for relief from the routine of her daily life. It was almost pathetic at times. Even more touching was the feeling in these later years that she could not know the girls; that she did not have their friendship and companionship as she had done. Lonely and isolated her life seemed at times. At first thought such a saying in connection with the life of a college president appears strange. On reflection it becomes true. The pen tributes which appeared in the February number of the We Ies ev Alagazine presented so yaried a view of Miss Shafer, the ' bear the impress of so much sympathy and loye, that one finds she is but repeating what has been already better said. I can bear witness only as a Wellesley student and alumna% but there are certain characteristics of Miss Shafer which have impressed all. Miss Shafer ' s keen sense of humor, which enabled her to enter more fully into the life of the students, her appreciation of f)ther sides of a cjuestion, her ready insight into character, her charit} ' , enabled her to call forth the best in those with whom she came in contact As regards herself, she was a true heroine. Many another woman with her frail physique would haye gi en up the struggle. She kept on bravely to the end, and passed into the larger life from the midst of her duties here. With her, duty was supreme, but duty transcending itself and becoming privilege. This sense of duty did not crowd upon her and oyerwhelm her in details. She was always thorough, but she did not lose her equilibrium. No matter what the pressure of work, she never expressed hurry in her manner. There was always a poise, a self-control. This was all a part of her singular sincerity, simplicity, and directness of character. It all comes back to her well-nigh complete loss of self. Wellesley, past, present, and future, has deep cause of gratitude toward Miss Shafer. Although but just begun, according to her plans, she had already brought the inner organiza- tion of the College to a high state of perfection. From the intellectual side, many new courses were introduced under her administration. The crowning point of it all is the curriculum, but newly introduced, which places Wellesle in the front rank ot progressive American colleges, and opens wide opportunities. Nor was she immintlful of the physical side. Her constant plea was for a new gymnasium, her constant desire for the health of tlie students. With all phases of the social life of the students she had sympathy likewise. She recom- mended to the Trustees the representation of alumnie on their Board. That recommendation has now been adopted. Certainly these are all indicative of the growth of the College under Miss Shafer ' s administration, and of the influence which she wielded. But the most potent influence is that of her own life. If I should try to formulate an expession of that life in brief, I should say that in her relation to the students there was perfect justness ; as regards her own position, a passion for duty ; as regards her character, simplicity, sincerity, and selflessness. Such was the woman to whom ve deliglit to do honor, however feebly. Such the woman ■whose loss we mourn. Such the woman for whose entrance into Light we rejoice. Caroline L. Williamson, ' 89. EBEH H.

The following observations concerning tiie appearance and habits of tliis exquisite little creature have been made expresslv for Legenda students. Genus Homo. SuB-GEXUS Pedagogus. Species Wellesleyanus. generai, description. The Pedagogus Wellesleyanus is a familiar sight upon the campus, and owing to its accessibility will serve admirably as a type of the sub-genus. It ranges from five to six feet in height, and is in outward appearance a bilaterally symmetrical animal. The genus Homo among Vertebrates agrees with the group Mollusca among Invertebrates, in that the members of both groups are enveloped in mantles. The mantle of the Pedagogus Wellesleyanus is frequentlv very complex, and difficult of comprehension. It adapts itself to the mode of life and character of the animal. Lavender, green, and bright blue mantles have been observed, but the prevailing color is a subdued or mottled brown. The scientific investigation of indi- viduals of this species requires great delicacy of manipulation, for as a rule the Pedagogi are very sensitive to touch. Though the outward appearance is symmetrical, the animal itself is rarely so. The species is generally marked bv an unusual de elopment of certain powers and the more or less complete atrophy of others; the direction of growth varies, and the result is a collection of highly individualized units. All possess a backbone of varying degrees of hardness, most possess a stern-um, some few are blessed with a humor-us. Vccording to some authorities occasional specimens are cold-blooded. DISCUSSION OF the SUB-GENUS. The Pedagogi as a rule are sedentary in habit. Some arieties are wild, and must be approached in their native lairs with great circimispection. Others have been ilomesticated, and are in demand for household pets. Much might be written about individual eccentricities, but that branch of the subject forms a complete course of stud ' in itself. Besides variations due to habit, we observe in some peculiarities which are marks of old family precedents, which have been transmitted to them from ancestors living in remote geologic times. A leadiiiii authority of to. day denies this. 33 DEVELOPMENT. The young Pedagogus begins his career in a very undeveloped condition, and passes througli several metamorphoses before reaching the adult stage. One of the most curious of the larval forms, called Studentus, is distinguished by a capacity for fun and a wonderful agility in evading regulations. When the organ of authority becomes functional, however, these may gradually atrophv, even the memory of them finally disappearing. An early stage in the development is depicted in tiie accompanying diagram, and the enormous capacity for mental development may be observed by a comparison of the accompanying specimen of the mental attainments of a Pedagogus Wellesleyanus at the age often with a production. at the age of (?) . i._ To a Cla. . in Scriptural cieograpt) .

Certain characters in the gonangia of the blastostyles of certain calyptoblastia will immediately occur to the mind as clearly illustrating this principle. 34 iHELEN A.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a class to dissolve the bonds wiiich have connected them with college life, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and their own opinion of their learning and importance entitle them, a decent respect to their Alma Mater requires that they should declare the grief which moves them at the separation. Prudence, indeed, would dictate (this have we learned line upon line, precept upon precept, from our foster mother) that conditions long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. But when a long train of courses and matriculations, pursuing invariablv the same object, has fulHlled its design of reducing us under an absolute sense of •our profound ignorance, there is its beneficent task ended, and it is our right, our duty to throw off such conditions and to provide new fields for our future activity. The historv of the present Faculty in its relations with the Class of ' 94, is a history of continued kind- ness and of repeated benefits (sometimes, we confess, these blessings were so disguised that we failed to recognize them), having in direct object that knowledge of follv which is wisdom, and that mild and submissive disposition whicli is the crown of womanlv character. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid wor ld. They have maintained, often against our will, laws the most wholesome, and the most necessary for the public good. In every stage of our historv we ha e petitionetl in humble terms tor that which seemed necessarv and convenient for us ; our repeated petitions have been answered by repeated refusals. Thus has an overruling wisdom preserved us from error. We, therefore, the representatives of the Class of ' 94, do, in the name of the class, solemnly publish and declare that this Class of ' 94 is not, and never can be, unmindful of these benefits; that nothing can absolve them from their allegiance to their Alma ] latcr : and that the affectionate connection between them and Wellesley College cannot now, or at any other time, lie totall - dissoh-ed. 45 EAPIRICAL EGOS.

Proposition : Tl)e Class of Ninet -Ptvc is tl)e : est and I rirjbtest Class in College. A. Introduction. I. Definition of terms. a. Bv Class of ' 9s, we mean that body of students which lirought the simshine of their presence to the College in 1S91, and must leave it once more in total darkness by their graduation in 1S95. b. College — Wellesley. B. Proof. I. They ' have been tolil so. [Any member of said class will corroborate this statement.] II. They believe it themselves. They are continually saying so.- [See any portion of speech made by ' 95 ' s speaker, before the student body, Tree Day, 1S93.] III. They surpass other classes. a. Physically, for Their athletic attainments are fitly symbolized by their class boat, which is five feet longer than an ' of its predecessors. b. Mentally, since Junior Histor - has no terrors for them, and no fault could be found in their Midyear examination papers in this subject. c. iSIorallv, as is shown by the fact that They have been admitted tu Senior privileges in Junior year. 1 Never refer to your subjei:t in this indefinite way. - Is this proof? 69 C. Refutation. It has been objected that the Class of ' 95 are weak. a. Physicall}-, because they cannot break a champagne bottle without strenous, and apparently fatiguing exertion. But this objection does not hold, for a . Tiiey did Ijreak the bottle finalh . b. Mentally, especially in botanical science, being unable to distinguish a maple from a sycamore. But this objection has little weight, for b . All mankind is liable to err, and Nature herself takes centuries for her processes of natural selection. c. Morally, because there are traces of conceit in their characters. But this cannot be true, tor CI. They deny it themselyes. D. Conclusion. From all this it appears that the Class of ' 95 is in all respects, and without any possi- bility of doubt, the best and brightest class in Welleslcy College. 1 Verv slight brief.

Its aim was declared to be the systematic study of Shakespeare as a means for mental development. Two years later, formal connection with the London Shakespeare Society was established, :ind a regular correspond- ence with it was carried on. The membership of the Society has usually been from thirty to forty in number. It has always held one meeting each month, at which, until ' S9, the members were at liberty to entertain their friends outside the Society. Since that time, however, the meetings have been closed to all except members. Since 1S8S an entire play of Shakespeare has been rendered each year. The work of the Society is literary and dramatic in character, and at each meeting representations from some of Shakespeare ' s plays are given. Working together in the bonds of good fellowship, the members, by their connection with the Society, aim to be better scholars and better women. Aember of fl)e 3f) l P rc Firm. Officers. Harriet M.

THE Phi Sigm:i Fraternity was organized as a local society in the fall of 1S76, at the suggestion of Mr. Durant, the founder of the College. Its first formal meeting was held November 11, 1S76, and its first President was Elizabeth Stillwell. In June, iSSi, the Society was dissolved. Eight years later it was reorganized, and held its first meeting after its dissolution, April 19, 1SS9. In the spring of 1S93, Phi Sigma established a chapter at Wesleyan t ' niversity. The work of Phi Sigma is essentially literary, and the aim of the - lpha Chapter, as expressed in its constitution, is to offer a stimulus to scholarly work, to promote good fellowship, and to unite the interests of the undergraduates.

THE Zet.-i Alpha Society (together with its sister the Phi Sigma) was founded in the spring of 1S76, under the guidance of Mr, Durant. Seven girls were chosen by him, with some aid from Miss Howard, to draw up the formal articles of organization, and, after their acceptance, to form the nucleus of the Society The membership was at that time limited to thirty. Miss Delia Lyman was the first President, Miss Mary Strong the tirst Secretary. Mr. Durant ' s purpose in establishing the Society was to se- cure for his girls a harmonious development of all their powers, and. by opening the way to independent study, to create in them a love for broad and serious culture as a power in itself. The wurk of Zeta Alpha was mainly literary, filling out the suggestions afforded by college work. In the spring of 1SS3, Zeta Alpha was dissolved. Six years later the question of reorganizing the Greek Letter Societies was discussed. A petition was sent in to the Academic Council, and on April iQth. Zeta Alpha received its formal charter; on May 17th the first business meeting was held, at which Miss Sher- win of ' 90 was elected President of the Society. The Presidents for the following years up to the present time were: Miss Sara E. Stewart, ' 91, Miss Martha McCaulley, ' 92, Miss Elizabeth A. Trebcin, ' 93. Zeta Alpha has now thirty-five active and one hundred and fifty- two honorary members. The aims of Zeta Alpha and the work by which it has endeavored to realize these aims, have their unity in the central ideal. In nature these aims are both moral and intellectual, both social and individual. The Society aims to develop character by draw- ing the members together in a little community whose law is one of mutual respect, sym- pathy, and help, ana whose basis is the sacre ' dness of friendship. The intellectual work is arranged to give training in writing and speaking, and also to supplement the knowledge obtained in the class room. The subjects may be historical, literary, political, or social. Zeta Alpha aims to study human thought, whether recorded in literature and history, or expressed in characteristic phases of modern life and in the tides and currents of mod- ern movements. In the former it requires the utmost freedom and individuality of opin- ions; in the latter, independent and practical investigation. In the union of intellectual work and social development, the Society Zeta Alpha is seeking for its members and for itself, if perchance it may find — completeness. ember5 of tf)e Pirni A Officers.

It had long been evident to certain earnest college students that a busy academic life, removed from the more stirring interests of the world, is but too apt to degenerate into a meaningless routine, devoid of much that makes life beautiful. Consequently they formed themselves into an organization known as the Art Club, for the study of the beautiful in Art, the member- ship being open to any desiring it. Later, the Art Club became a more formal organization, with restricted membership, mutually exclusive with the other Wellesley societies, and was known as the Art Society, the raiso i d ' ' eire being the study of the beautiful wherever found, whether in the realms of painting, sculpture, architecture, music, or literature. Beauty was the guide, and the whole wide world a studio. Then the social life of the Society was emphasized, the members drew together in a closer bond, and a society home was established in the Art Building. Finally it became evident that again had the organization outgrown its name, and the more distinctive title Tau Zeta Epsilon was adopted. Vembcrs of tl)c Firm T B Officers. Jane Williams Ruby P.

We do tf e sarrye old business at the 5arr e old stand- Though our outward syrnbols rryay change, our (he)Art is ever tl e sarr e. THE Agora is a political society, and is the outgrowth of the Cottage Street Political Club. This club was formed in November, iSqo, by eight ' 94 Freshmen, at the sugg estinn and under the leadership of Maud Thompson. It grew in numbers and continued throughout that year, though permission to organize was refused by the Academic Council. The following year, however, permission to organize was granted on condi- tion that the club become an exclusive society. In November. 1S91, the Agora was formed with hfteen members. The present membership is forty.five (May, 1S94). The first program meeting was held in December, 1S91, and the first open meeting in February, 1892. The meetings of the Agora have been held since April, 1895. in Elocution Hall, one of the alcoves of which has been secured for the exclusive use of the society. F ormaI program meetings are held on the third Saturday of each month, and on all other Saturdays informal meetings for the discussion of current events and for social purposes. Written papers are unknown in the work of the Agora, notes are dispensed with so far as possible, and some extemporaneous speaking is required. The object of the Agora, according to its constitution, is to create n in- telligent interest in the political questions of the day, and by free discussion of them to train its members to take an active and responsible position on all such questions. This states only the working basis, according to the manner of constitutions. The real object is above and bevond this — the development of patriotism and the attainment of noble womanhood. The one thing most noticeably lacking in women ofto-day is knowledge of political questions. Such knowledge, which is supplied by no college course, the Agora strives to give. But it strives to give more than mere knowledge of political questions. It strives to breathe into its members the spirit of patriotism, and to fit them to face the nation ' s problems; to keep them in touch with the outside world; to broaden their interests; to counteract the narrowness of view toward which the isolation of college life must tend; strives to give them the broadened, ennobled womanhood that these broadened interests give; to give them that larger conception of life, that higher ideal of womanhood, which shall lead them, throughout their lives, to work for their country, for their fellow-men and women. It strives to teach them that a woman must be broad enough to have a place in her heart and in her life not only for her home, but for her country and for the world. Members of fl)e PoUttcat Pinn.

To one who has never tried it, the publication of a Legenda, consisting merely of class lists and new and original ideas, may seem an easy matter. When we first entered upon that task we felt that, although not altogether easy, it was certainly possible. This was nine months ago. Since then we have learned a great deal. We have found that the class lists may be obtained with fair accuracy, but we have no longer any delusion about new and original ideas. We have grasped the fact that they are impossibilities. Our first bit of enlightenment in this direction came when, confiding to a fellow-editor what we supposed to be a bright, new idea of our own, we were informed, with surprise and indig- nation, that the idea was hers, and had been imparted to us for consideration some days before. This was discouraging, but we did not give up. Wifli a childlike faith — which in the light of our later experience seems truly pathetic — we went on protlucing idea after idea, and carefully writing each one down, so as not to forget it, we would communicate them to our fellow-editors amid enthusiastic congratulations. And then we would go away and find those same ideas in all sorts of places : some would turn up in preceding Legendas, others in daily papers, and others in the works of classic writers; some dated back to Adam, and others, as far as we could discover, were only as old as Homer. After a while we scarcely dared to open a book of any kind, for fear of finding one of our ideas in it. We went on, however, in the mad search for the original until we were completely worn out ; then we turned to the class lists. Oh, the relief of those lists ! The names had been selected, com- bined, and even spelt for us; no need of originality here — originality would be actually out of place. It is to those class lists that we now point with pride as the really creditable feature of the book ; and for those who scoft at the absence of original ideas, we have only pity : we know by what painful experience they must attain to the knowledge that there is no such thing as an original idea. - Since the eventful evening when the resignation of the Lege.nda Board was so con- spicuous by its absence, we have been sailing under false colors. In the pages of this book, the product of our labors, the everlasting memorial, not onlv of our willingness to serve our 157 Class and our College, but also of our ability to do it, we desire to make public coofession of the wherefore of our not resigning. It was not modesty that restrained us ; not a desire to escape the tolling of the silver iterance of class appreciation ; nor was it the love of peace, expressed by refraining to add more fuel to the fire of Class elections ; nor was it a spirit of love, a desire to do unto others as we would liave them do unto us : nay, none of these, — but a business contract with our printer ! iis On April i6tli the Legenda goes to press. On April 17th the Legenda Board anticipate drawing a long breath ; we may even find time to bow to our friends in the corridor. On April iSth we expect to go to chapel, and those of us who have not more than two papers the next week are extravagant enough to hope to do a little necessary mending. Then, perhaps, as the editor sits quietly musing over some long-forgotten shoe button, sud- denly there will come to her niind an idea whose brilliancy would have made ' 94 ' s Legenda a shining light for ages to come ; oi ' , as she blows the tlust off of her neglected books, a joke will rise up before her, fresh and original as the first pun made in Eden. Or, while the Art editor peacefully weaves conventional designs into the heel of a stocking, there will dawn upon her a conception whose beauty is only surpassed by its novelty. But all in vain come the crowding thoughts, merry, and new, and bright : time and the printer stay for naught. The ideas which might have been the glory and the crown of our Legenda will sink back into the oblivion whence they came, or else be ignominiouslj- chopped up to coldly furnish forth a week of daily themes. Such is fate ! But then, perhaps it might make us conceited if the Legenda had been any brighter than it is. - We have noted with some astonishment that although the Class of ' 94 counts among its members many ardent advocates of equal rights, it has not carried out this principle in the matter of Senior privileges. We have but to turn to the coast of Connecticut, or the Jersey jungle where the Tiger roams, to behold our brothers of the cap and gown spinning their tops and trundling their hoops with all the dignity and self-satisfaction which only a Senior privilege can confer. But we sit here in the darkness of oppressed womanhood, classed by the law with children and idiots, with no tops, no hoops, no marbles, — nothing to show to the 158 world our intellectual advancement. We would, therefore, propose that hencefortii the jumping-rope be the accompaniment of the cap and gown at Wellesley. We should thus prove beyond all question our right to stand shoulder to shoulder with the men of our genera- tion ; and, moreover, on the .esthetic side, add an attraction to the College. What could be more picturesque than the graceful flow of the gown as its wearer soared over the rope. ' Indeed, we can imagine nothing more impressive than the campus, of a pleasant afternoon, covered with a hundred or more sweet girl graduates in varying poses of airy flight. Since ' 94 has failed to take this step in the progress of Welleslej- ' s development, let ' 95, as soon as the new gowns arrive, add this reform to the long list of her glorious deeds. How long will ye try our patience, O delinquents. ' How long will your selfishness pro- voke our fury. ' Do neither daily notices, nor earnest pleading, nor threatenings, nor even the tears of the foragers and factotums, move you. ' Can nothing induce you to attend Class meetings, O ve lazy and thoughtless maidens. ' Many have been the evenings we have urged you to come ; many have been the night watches we have waited in vain for the seats to be filled which your absence made vacant. O tetnporal O mores 1 Neither time nor eternity can wipe from our memory the vivid remembrance of those weary and sleepy seasons. Where were you the first night, last night, and all the intervening nights, while we were waiting for you. ' Are you aware that the assembled company of students knew what you were doing on those nights. ' Knew that in your absence you were calmly planning their destruction. ' Their destruction, I say ; for by your absence were you not stealing from them their precious moments, the loss of which caused their annihilation, their failure, their flunks, in the duties of the morrow. ' O dii immortales ! Would that some power in heaven or on earth could show you the error of your way ! Would that you could be made to turn from your path of evil ! Take warning while still there is time, before the destruction which you prepare for others be brought upon yourself. Show no longer this unequaled selfishness ! Do ye, each and all, show your loyalty to your Class and College bv prompt attendance at every meeting ! - We, the Business Editors of the ' 94 Legenda, on completing our last task in its behalf, humbly ofter sundry words of counsel to those who, undertaking the management of the 159 next Legenda, will assume our responsibilities. From our recent experience with the business world we have gleaned various bits of useful knowledge, by the recital of which we hope to forewarn and to forearm you : — I. Begin early in your Senior year (or before, if possible) to know I. The Printer. 3. The Advertising Agent. 3. The Photographer. This does not mean merely to be acquainted with an individual in each profession, but to know the type of such a person; in short, know what a printer is, and what an advertising agent is, or can be. N. B. — Learn any little eccentricities to which the latter class is subject. II. Know what it is to make a book, — asto size, thickness, color, print, engraving, advertising, and COST. N. B. — To elect a course in domestic work in any department, the head of uliich is expecting to issue a book, will be the best way to get plenty of experience with every little detail in such matters. III. Know the nature of contracts. N. B. — Take a course in Political Economy, if necessary. If not possible, any lecture after chapel on not keeping appointments may help indirectly. IV. Show to what degree a true college student can make a good business woman by her promptness in keeping engagements, accuracy in business transactions, and general business-like demeanor. N. B. — Any previous training in correspondence, typewriting or bookkeeping will be of inestimable yalue in accomplishing this end. And now, oh ' 95 ! if you will but study thoroughly these suggestions, pursue tiie pre- liminary comses of stiidv here prescribed, and, above all, read carefully all the advertisements in our Legenda, we feel that your success is assiu ' ed ; nay, more, we hope, and confidently expect, that you will make monev enough, and be unselfish enough after you have made it, to build us a new Chapel, or to complete the Boathouse Fund. 160 ( ollege (Calendar. 4- 6.

She is posted on theology, and zoology, and psychology ; Had a course in philology, embriology and geology. And in all the other ologies ; taught in all the other colleges On this or on the other side of anv ocean.

Music, politics, and art, may be conversation ' s part. Or it may be Browning ' s sonnets, or the very latest bonnets, Poets, authors, and the fashion; anytiiing that you may chance on, .She can talk and talk and talk until you ' re tired. There has recently been discovered a fragment of .1 dialogue, wliicli seems undoubtedly Platonic. Some eminent scViolars, it is true, have questioned the genuineness of the fragment, on the ground that the external evidence is far from convincing. These have not given due importance to the internal evi- dence, — which to us seems so clear as to leave no shadow of doubt as to the authenticity of the Weno. The style all through bears a close resemblance to that of certain admittedly Platonic writings. In places we are strongly reminded of the Phaedrus and of the Theaetelus. There are also suggestions of the Re- public. We should be inclined to place the Weno in the later and more mature period of Plato ' s writing, — for he has seemed to gather up all that was best and finest in the styles of each one in this dialogue. TI)e Weno. Socrates : My dear Weno, whence come you, and whither are you going. ' Weno : I am come from Stratonicus, Socrates, and I am going to take a walk outside the wall, for I have been in his paroikodomemai since Kalia hiera, which is a long while, and our friend Lege, O Anthrope, advises me to walk in the country. Come with me ; let us go to Tupelo, and sit at some quiet spot and continue the subject on which we were conversing. Socrates: Yes, let us continue the conversation; but do not let us go to the point you mention, for I am a lover of knowledge, and the men who live in the city are my teachers, —nputKO( ofii ia. - Ka ' ta ttpa. ' ' f , av pu , f. 183 and not the trees and tlie country. Let us ratlier go to the bibliotheke, ' ' the general gather- ing place. Weno : Certainly, Socrates, if you wish ; but why not to the arche of the angaron,. may I ask . ' ' .Socrates : Merely because there are no chairs in he tore angaron arche. If in he bib- liotheke any question of history, ethics, or science should arise, Godfreippus and Pierkites are ready to answer it for us. Wexo : ' er3•true; I had not thought of that. Socrates: Well, now, having arrived I will sit down, and you had better do so like- wise, and choose any posture in which you will be most comfortable. To return, then, to our discussion, you consider your .State the perfect one. Weno: Yes, Socrates. Socrates : Then relate to me the composition. Weno : Certainly. I have told you how the State was increasing constantly ; now it is our design that the State may increase to any limit which is consistent with unitv ; that is the limit. Socrates : Yes; that is excellent. But the larger the State grows the more time, and art, and skill will be needed by the guardians; who, as we said before, must be the older, the wiser, and the more reasonable in order to rule wisely over the younger, the more ignorant and the more foolish. ' Weno : Surely, Socrates ; and to aid in this, there is a wise provision in the State which exists not elsewhere. Socrates: What is that, Weno.? Weno : You know, Socrates, that each one of the subjects has something to do in the State. Now of these subjects the wisest, the bravest, and the most patient are selected, and each guardian has one. Socrates : What are these attendants called, Weno. ' Weno: Hitherto they have been known as domestic girls ; but, Jewettacus, one of the guardians objects seriously to the term. Socrates : But can she suggest a better. ' Weno: No, Socrates, she cannot; but you might. Socrates : Well, then, let them be called guardian angels, for that expresses both what they are and what they need to be. But in a State so rapidly increasing there must be many ■S4 more subjects than are needed for this purpose. Did you not say that each one has some- thing to do in the State? Weno : Yes, Socrates, certainly. All subjects within the limits aid in the lighter man- ual labor, or in the clerical work of the offices, libraries, and departments of instruction. Much valuable information and discipline are thus secured to the subjects, though the time occupied is never more than one periodos daily. Socrates : Indeed, Weno, there is much wisdom in this provision. I see clearly that it must greatly lessen the number of mercenaries and slaves necessary for the administration of a State, and so indirectlv increase the revenues. But has it not its disadvantages. ' Weno: ' ' I think not, Socrates. Socrates : I should like, if I may, to ask a few questions, Weno. Weno: ' -Certainly, Socrates. I will try to answer discreetly, and if I make mistakes you will be sure to correct me. Socrates : Do all the subjects perform this iluty willingly. ' Weno : It must be confessed, Socrates, that many do not. Socrates : To sucli, then, the labor is compulsory. ' Weno: Yes. Socrates: But it would seem, then, that the work would not always be performed to the satisfaction of the State. Weno : Your objections shows great discernment, Socrates. But to a -oid this difficulty there are special officers appointed, and thej in their turn select suboidinates, — supervisors, called hegemones, ' — so that no work can with impunity be neglected. Socrates : That, too, is a beneficent provision, Weno. But this effect upon the moral nature of the subjects should certainly be considered, since it is more important than the per- formance of outward duties. Weno: Yes, Socrates; but do you not see tiiat the influence of this work, rendered heartily, is invaluable in producing during the years of mental training habits of accuracy, self-reliance, and genuine sympathy with all workers. ' Socrates : No doubt you are right, Weno. But have you not said that the service is in many cases not rendered heartily. ' Weno: Yes. Socrates : If that is so, must there not be frequent unpleasantness between the subjects and the officers you mention . ' Weno : That is true. Socrates : And the soul of the guardian is full of spirit, is it not. ' Weno: Yes, Socrates. 1S5 Socrates : But these spirited natures, although they have the advantage of being un- afiected by any danger, even by that of going up to the lophon after dark, are apt to be furious with everybody who opposes them? Weno : Very true, Socrates. Socrates : And all come to fear them when they are angry? Weno: Most true. Socrates : Then do you not see where that leads you, Weno? Can the best work be done by a subject when he is fearful? Weno : Certainly ncjt, Socrates. But then, the subject becomes accustomed to the wrath of his guardian, and in any given case merelv does what Homer in the Odyssee repre- sents Odysseus as doing in the words, ' He beat his breast, and thus reproached his heart. Endure, O heart ; far worse hast thou endured. And wilt endure. ' And therefore tliis difficulty which seemed so great, tiu ' ns out to be none at all, but an ad- vantage ; for thereby is much control taught to the youth, than which nothing is more useful. Socrates : What vou say is true, Weno, but it suggests to me another question I should like to ask. Weno: Proceed, Socrates. Socrates: I will. Tell me, Weno, do not the subjects sometimes try to evade and circumvent their supervisors? Weno : I cannot denv that, Socrates. Socrates: Then, Weno, vou must admit that the subject will become keen and shrewd ; that he will learn how to flatter his superior officer in word, and to indulge himself in deed ; that his soul will become small and unrighteous. Dangers and fears which are too much for his truth and honesty will come upon him in early years, when the tenderness of youth Is unequal to them, and he will be driven into crooked ways. From the first he will practice deception and retaliation, and he must become stunted and warped. Can you deny, Weno, that such will be the result of the s -stem? Weno : It is proven, abundantly proven, Socrates. Socrates: And there are many more proofs that this system is a pernicious one, which, if you would like, we can discuss. Weno : No, Socrates, I am fully convinced ; and if you could only persuade everybody, as you do me, of the truth of your words, there would be more peace and fewer evils among us. iS6 Hditoriat Trials. HILE awaiting the distribution of the mail, a Legenda editor stops to talk to a Freshman, as betits a good society member. Freshman: Oh! you ' re on the Legexda, aren ' t you? Im going to buy one this year. Editor (smiUngly) : That ' s very gratifying, I am sure. What has thus early convinced you of the merits of the Legenda.

DESIGNED especially for the use of stiulents in the Library. The visor screens tlie eyes from the electric lights; the padded ear-pieces prevent injury to ear drums from the noise ; the cape at the back protects from draughts ; the electric light at the top, connected with a pocket battery, is useful in the dark alcoves. This cap is also adapted to imderground exploration, and will be of value to those who visit the Catacombs. Being made in the class colors, it will aid the factotums in identifying those needed for their quorums. Originatit . HE present demand for originality is abominable. No one but a genius can live comfortably ; and if an ordinary mortal is deluded into thinking that it is a just demand, he cannot walk, or eat, or sleep, or perform any of the ordi- nary functions of life, without a guilty feeling that he is plodding along in a lieaten track. Does he chance to meet a friend, he withholds the pleasant word of greeting for fear of saying something commonplace. Does he see some object of beauty in his daily walk, he is compelled to refrain from describing it for lack of novel phrases. Dubbed a plagiarist if he presumes to express himself naturally, he sneaks through his existence, and continually sighs because he was not born in primeval times, when all thoughts were original. i8S A R iddle. THE room is crowded with Philosophy students, who are awaiting the comintr of the Professor, at whose shrine of learning they mentally bow down in adoration. They are all enthusiastic in the subject, and, with one accord, emphatically declare its ascendency over every other study. Zealously they discuss the question for the approaching hour. But a messenger brings word that the lesson for the day must be suspended, on account of the illness of the Professor. Tell me, ye Wise, why do the faces of the students beam with joy.?

I ' JM born a centurv late. And I ' m utteilv ouf of mv sphere; jSIv ideas are all ont of date, And so are mv talents, I fear. I used to play tennis, and row, Or walk for an hour with a friend ; But now all my pleasures must go. All my simple delights ha e an end. ' Tis only the crews that may row, And I, — I belong to no crew; My methods in tennis are slow. And not scientific or new. Now, basket-ball looks very nice. But then I am not on the team ; And to play golf I must pav the price Of joining that club, it would seem. But walking, — it surely remains 1 No, there ' s the pedestrian band, That wanders all over the plains, And climbs all the hills in the land. And what ' s a poor maiden to do Who isn ' t athletic at all, Who ' s no time to row on a crew. Or learn scientific baseball . ' No time, since she has a desire To do some brain work now and then ; And, somehow, her lessons require A minute or two spent on them.

Vjyi ' T was a weird night — a night for ghosts to be abroad. The storm played a wild 1. symphony through the shivering woods; the snow, driven by the reckless wind, whirled in blinding masses, making the atmosphere white. Half waking from a deep sleep, I became conscious of a presence in my room, — a presence which seemed to bring with it the chill of the storm without. Gradually it approached my bed, until it bent over me, whispering : What were the causes for the failure of consti- tutional government under the House of Lancaster. ' If a man can throw a cricket ball fifty yards vertically upward, how for can he throw it on a horizontal plane. ' What is the essen- tial difference between the poetry of Milton and that of Spenser. ' Wherein is Zarathustrian- ism a higher form of religion than Buddhism . ' What — I heard no more.

From various recent occurrences it is to be feared that this is not di stinctly understood. It is doubtless very pleasant for the Freshmen — to find a resting place for their wraps in a location more available than the regions commonly known as the Catacombs. But it is not so agreeable for those mem- bers of the College community who have been taught through three long years to regard the article of furniture in question as sacred to the myste- rious something known as Senior Dignity. Therefore we would respectfully recommend that a notice to this effect be placed in a conspicu- ous position on the Freshman bulletin board, and that the Class of ' 97 be requested to consult the same immediately. vcd to location.

It is clear and rhythmical. His is the power of giving language a spiritual grace. His habits of thought show delicate shades of consciousness. His thought is excellent; his choice of diction exquisite. I wonder if un- divided attention to literary work is the secret of his success. I hope so. There is some comfort in supposing that even one of the giants of literature could not devote himself to expressing excellent thought in perfect form, and at the same time carry on a conscientious study of Mathematics, Philosophy, Hebrew, Political Econom} ' , and German Literature; and assist in household duties, and take an active part in society life, and help in the Legenda, and suffer almost hourly interruptions because of social and political duties.

No ' m; I ' m afraid not (very meekly). I think, Caroline, in the future when girls ask you to do their work, you may say that I wish them to get some one else. It will not be best for you to substitute any more. I suppose you are right, was the submissive reply; and she turned and passed through the corridors where hard-working, conscientious girls were sweeping for their friends, and she thought of the happy Thanksgiving recess which was coming.

And then slie laid it, with trembling and fear, On the altar of Rhetoric stern ; And waited and hoped for a wearv week For the child of her brain to return.

It is understood that, in oeneral, the rules are made for the purpose of being broken ; but if on any special occasion — such as your first week in college, your sixteenth birthday anni- versary, or the day you receive your first lecture from the head of the house — you should decide to regard the regulations, I have prepared a reliable exegesis of some of the more diffi- cult points, which I now unhesitatingly submit to posteritv. I. Without permission from the President students zcill not join or leave any depart- ment of instruction nor attend any courses except those to -vJiicIi they are assigned. Pei- mission is not recjuired, however, for the department of instruction conducted by the Sopho- mores, or the course of cultivation by the members of the several societies. II. Students xvill punctually attend all college exercises ; viz., prayers, clasi-room appointments, domestic -work, etc. The word punctually admits of various interpreta- tions, according to the context : in connection with pravers, it means during the singing of the third stanza, or later ; with recitations, it is usually taken to mean before the end of the period. With domestic work there can be no fixed rule, as the interpretations differ according to the activity of the superintendent; once a week is a good average. III. Public literary exercises ivill be submitted to the approval of the Professors in charge of tlie departfnents of Rhetoric and Elocution, and then changed afterwards to suit yourself. IV. At 10 P. M. students ivill promptly extinguish their lights, retire, and preserve quiet. Promptly is a contracted expression for after the second visit from the corridor teacher. After retire, understand the words to your own rooms or some one ' s else. Qiiiet, in this case, indicates a little more than the usual degree of quiet preserved in the- dining room during dinner. HEALTH DIRECTIONS. I. Students should exercise not less than an hour dallv in the open air ; but regular practice in the Gvinnasiu n mav take the place of one half hour of such exercise. Or exercise in sweeping the corridor mav be substituted for both. II. Students are warned an-ainst irregularity in diet. Tiie College provides aa extremelv regular one. III. Every study parlor should be provided zvith a thermotneter. A mean tempera- ture of ■ 0° is advised. In the north rooms the temperature is a good deal meaner. « • must be kept in ' ■ safety stands. It is then warranted to be in a state of constant and uniform overflow, so as to reduce all of vour gowns to a uniform spottedness. They tnay be purchased at the College bookstore, — at double prices. Students -will not remove these cards from the rooms.

You ask for further information concerning them. The merit of the older society is attested bv the char- acter of its founder, whose likeness is worn by all its members. The younger L ' is the oflspring of Zeta Alpha. The significance of its name is not, as many have supposed, Dear Things, nor yet ' Doll ' s Tea Partv, but has reference to ihe thought which was in the mind of the charter members when the society was formed, in their Freshman year: •Destined to Zeta Alpha. Unsophisticated Fresiimax. — Yes; it was a mistake for you to offer to pay the College physician for her services. Anxious Ix(;!Lther. — No, there have not been any mob riots that we know of at the boat-landing. The broken oars, paddles, etc., to which you refer were probably left bv friends who borrowed boats without the owners knowledge, and forgot to mention their mishaps. From the Rural Districts. — Wellesley has not yet established an agricultural de- partment. You evidently refer to the ploughed land between Music Hall and Stone Hall. That is our athletic field. Injured vSophomore. — No; we do not think you could bring a breach of promise case against the Junior who used your room as a wardrobe, study, and rendezvous during the whole of last year, and then failed to invite you to join her society. You should have recog- nized that as an essential part of the process known as cultivating Freshmen, and should not have built your hopes upon it, since it is not generally considered at all binding. We are sorry for your disappointment. Do not let this experience ruin your life, Init learn from it to place your confidence where it is better deserved. Goldilocks. — Mv dear child, don ' t think of meddling with such a dangerous thing as HjSO I If you need a hair wash; try Wellesley College Sweet Pea Lotion. Since the in- ventor has been so kind as to name his hair restorer in honor of the Class of ' 9 , he should have the patronage of every loyal Wellesley girl. Sweet Sixteen. — No; it is not good form for a Freshman to go to a Junior class meeting. Wearied Braix Worker. — For light reading in the summer vacation, any of Hegel, the Wellesley JJanazi ie, and Bishop Stubbs ' Constitutional History of England. NoRUMBEGA vSexior. — The technical name of the little black spot in the eye of a fish, is the iris. If vou desire any information as to its use, ask yourself. 213 Inquiring Faculty. — We cannot say that we are in favor of voluntary chapel. The pernicious effect of this system is clearly shown on pages 177 and 17S. Inexperience. — We consider the following recipes thoroughly reliable. Ai-criimenf a la Bojilanger : Take one question which cannot possibly be decided, either affirmatively or negatively. Add one or two ilelinitions from the Century Diction- ary. Gather not less than fifty good, bad, and indifferent articles on both sides of the subject. Mix thoroughly. Let simmer for a week or two, and set aside to clarifv. Then mass your material well, and flavor with concrete evidence. Serve clear, with persuasion, and garnish plentifully with authorities. Petition to the Academic Cotuicil: Roll a wish, real or fancied, in a mixture of respect and humility. Spread evenly over a large sheet of paper. Garnish with red tape. This dish is rather difficult for beginners. Do not be discouraged by failure at first. Daily Theiiie: Take any commonplace object ; cover with a thick layer of description ; smother in associations, and fiavor with moral sentiments, cynical reflections, or soaring aspirations, according to taste. Sprinkle plentifully with references to the Ideal, and garnish with quotations. This will insure a fairly successful result. Acceptance of Invitation to a Society: Cover gratified expectation — or, if that cannot be secured, disappointed hope— with a light froth of joyous surprise. Set aside to cool, until any appearance of hot haste is removed. A grain of flattery will make the dish more palatable to some. Refus a la Mode,— a Cold Slaiv-ter of Hopes : Take the green and tender hopes of a whole society. Crush them thoroughly: mould in conventional form. vServe with a dressing of lingering regret. Economical Juxinit. — It certainly does pay to buy your cap and gown at the beginning of vour .Senior year. It will save you money, for (i) It will be unnecessary to buy either a spring or fall wrap.

(4) It is the most dignified and convenient garment in which to appear when the fire alarm sounds at 2.30 A. M., — even if worn upside down. (5) It is a handy penwiper.

Leave her alone, And she ' ll go home With all her nerves exhausted. Young Mr. Love-to-Flirt Tried with Miss Dove to flirt ; Manner not new. The harder he tried, the softer he grew. Wellesley, W ellesley, have you anv boat. ' ' Yes, madam, that I have ; best kind afloat. One ' s for the Seniors, the Juniors have one. And one ' s for the Sophomores, equaled by none. Probabl_y refers to Sophomores, not to boat. It is supposed that the exigencies of verse pre- vented the author from adding, In their own estimation. 216 There was a young woman, as I have heard tell, Wlio went to Wellesley her learning for to swell. She went to Wellesley on registration day, And she fell into Curriculum Way. There came a philosopher vhose name was Kant, And showed her knowledge to be but scant. He proved her knowledge to be so verv small, That what she thought she knew she knew, she didn ' t know at all. ' hen all this at last the young woman found out. She became bewildered, she began to doubt; She began to wonder, she began to cry, Lack o ' mercy on me ! Am I really 1. ' If I be I, as I do hope I be, There are things-in-themselves that I do see ; If I be I, they ' ll turn out to be real, And if I be not I, they ' ll prove themselves ideal. So when the young woman began to analyze, Phenomena only met her searching eyes. She became discouraged, she began to cry, Lack o ' mercy on me ! This is none of I ! There was a young woman put on a committee; Seventeen quires she wrote with two stubs. Why should you work so? I asked her in pity, For she held office in twenty-three clubs. Young woman, young woman, young woman, cjuoth I, O wherefore, O wherefore, O wherefore so spry. ' I want to reform things from ocean to sky. But 3 ' ou ' ll break down, you know, by and by. 217 Little Jill Hoiner Sat in a corner Computing the value of-: She sat up till twelve In her prolilcms to delve, And said, What a good girl am I! ' Little Miss Aluffet Sat on a tuftet Cribbing her drawings for Zoo. There came the Professor And tried to address her, And frightened Miss Muftet c[uite blue. There was a voung woman, and what do vou think? She scrilihled with nothing but pencils and ink. Pencils and ink were the chief thing she carried, And yet this poor woman still hoped to be married. Sing a song of Cliapel, Just at half past eight ; Four and twentv breathless girls Bv a closed door — late. When the door is opened, (jirls begin to sing. Is not this a merrv tale Before the world to fling. ' Little Miss Crooks Has lost her books. And she can ' t tell where to lind tiiem. If she onlv roams Through the Catacombs, She will see where kind friends have assigned them. The Magazine Board sat up in its tree. Looking as happy as happy could be. Till Legenda came by, and remarked with a grin. We ' re not going to put your photograph in. Hard times such as these mean economy ' s vise, And we long ago planned that ourselves appear twice; And if wc appear twice, there ' ll be no room for vo i : Don ' t cry, dears, for, prithee, what good will it do? 2lS This is tlie College Beautiful. This is the bell that rings in the morn, And oft asunder dreams hath torn For maidens fair and all forlorn, By whom are brooms and dustpans borne, Which sweep the matting, somewhat worn. On the floors of the College Beautiful. Baa, baa, Wellesley, have vou got a rule. ' Yes, sir, yes, sir, two whole pages full. Part for the Seniors, Juniors too, and .Sophs ; A lot for the Freshmen, but none at all for Profs. AVhen our good Steward ruled this land. He was a goodly king; He gathered crusts, stale biscuits, too, To make a bread pudding. A bread pudding that steward made. And put ten raisins in. And for it cooked a wondrous sauce. All pink and white, and thin. No Faculty did eat thereof. Nor did a student munch ; Yet what they could not eat that night. They had next day for lunch. The President of ' 94 and sixty girls, one night. Stayed in the P. L. R. three hours for naught, then winged their flight. TO z . Little girl blue Come blow your horn.

B Y the promise of noon ' s blue splendor in the dawn ' s first silver} ' gleam, By the song of the sea that compelleth the path of the rock-cleaving stream, I summon thee, recreant dreamer, to rise and follow thy dream. At the inmost core of thy being I am a burning fire, From thine own altar-flame kindled, the hour when souls aspire; For know that men ' s prayer shall be answered, and guard thy spirit ' s desire. That v hich thou vvouldst be thou must be ; that which thou shalt be thou art. As the oak, astir in the acorn, the dull earth rendeth apart, Lo, thou, the seed of thy longing, that breaketh and waketh the heart. Mine is the cry of the night wind, startling thy traitorous sleep; Moaning, I echo thy music, and e ' en while thou boastest to reap Alien harvests, my anger resounds from the vehement deep. I am the solitude folding thy soul in a sudden embrace; Faint waxes the voice of thy fellow, wan the light on his face ; Life is as cloud-drift about thee alone in shelterless space. I am the drawn sword barring the lanes thy mutinous feet Vainly covet for greenness, loitering pace or fleet. Thine is the crag path chosen; on the crest shall rest be sweet. I am thy strong consoler, when the desolate human pain Darkens upon thee, the azure out-blotted by rush of the rain. All thou dost cherish may perish ; still siiall thy guest remain. Call me thy foe in tliy passion ; claim me in peace for thy friend : Yet bethink thee, by lowland or upland, wherever thou wiliest to wend, I am thy angel of judgment ; mine eyes thou must meet in the end. — Katharine Lee Bates, ' So. (J ong for To-da . a ROWETH the morning from gray to gold ; Up, my heart, and greet the sun ! Yesterday ' s cares are a tale that is told, Yesterday ' s tasks are a work that is done. Yesterday ' s failures are all forgot. Buried beneath the billows of sleep. Yesterday ' s burdens are as they were not; Lay tiiem low in the soundless deep. Share thy crust, and ask no dole; Offer the cup thou wouldst ne er drain. Only he who saveth iiis soul Loseth all that he fain would gain. Smile witli him who has gained his desire; Smile the gladder if at thy cost. It was his to win and thine to aspire ; It is his to-dav who loved the most. Pluck the flower that blooms at thv door ; Cherish the love that the day mav send : Cometh an hour when all thy store ' ainl3 ' were offered for flower or friend. Gratefully take what life oflereth, Looking to heaven nor seeking reward, So shalt thou find, come life, come death. Earth and the skv are in sweet accord. — Louise Manning Hodgkixs. 223 PoQr-o ' ctoCl S. 2. Welleslev Magazine. I was that tliey loved the children, The children usetl to say ; For there was no doubt That when school was out, At the same time everv day, Down by the wall, Where the g rass grew tall, Under the hedge of the hollyhocks. One b} ' one. At the touch of the sun, There opened the four-o ' clocks. It was that they loved the children,- But the children have gone away And somebody goes When nobody knows, At the same time every day. To see by the wall, Where the grass grows tall. Under the hedge of the hollyhocks, How, one by one. At the touch of the sun, Still open the four-o ' clocks. — L. B., 94- To Ay, Aotl)er. Wellesley Magazine. 3 TRONG daughter of the Truth, with uplift eyes To catch the sweetness of thy Father ' s face, And learn His will for thee, keep thou thy place Far vanward, where the hymns of glor} ' rise : Guide, thou, my weaker footsteps, who art wise! Teach me to know the great and wondrous grace Of thy fine self-lessness, and speak apace The word of life that in t!iv heart ' s depth lies. Like Him who is the pattern for us all, Thou art, in less degree, the wav, the life. The truth, to me, thy child. . . . No shades can creep Along thy pathway, neither sound of strife Fall on thine ear; for thy soul ' s peace, so deep. Is hid with Christ in God, bevond recall. — M. G. M., ' 92. 224 Waging ' Song.

Wan the wind flowers wait, Petal opal-tinted ; At the Orient gate Comes their king in state ; Gold his auguries glinted. Which, pray, think you is the sweetest.

LL day I vv:ilk in labor ' s ilusty ways, And find in present work my joy ; at eve, Of care and toil, not loath, I take my leave. And on my quiet couch give place to praise ! Far upward to the shadowy blue I gaze, And watch the stars the great sun ' s loss retrieve. My soul, in one, doth past and future weave, And Hope and Mercy chant accordant lays. The souls I love, distant however far, Come forth like stars that brilliant day hath hid, And look with large, kind, comprehending eyes, Upon me through the gloom, serene and wise. How can I lonely be, those friends amid Whose love no change of time or place can mar? -Josephine A. Cass, ' So. 226 Oat on tl)e Cliffs at Twillgl)t. Wellesley Magazine. O UT on the cliffs at twilight, With sea-winds in one ' s hair, The breadth and sweep Of the mighty deep, And the sigh of the ocean ' s prayer. One hears it confess Its sinfulness In the sob of its ebb and flow, While soft — sweet, — Close at one ' s feet, The waters come and go. Out on the clifts at twilight. The flowers their silence keep ; The roses fold Their hearts of gold In their petals, and go to sleep ; But their fragrant prayer Is in all the air, As they rustle to and fro, While soft — sweet, — Close at one ' s feet, The waters come and go. Out on the clifl ' s at twilight, Only one ' s self and God, A lone star-ray Athwart the way That no man ' s foot has trod. Will He hear up there, If one sa ' s a pra ' er. ' ' The fireflies flit and glow. While soft — sweet, — Close at one ' s feet, The waters come and go. — L. B. 94- 227 o Attic (ilimpses. Wellesley Magazine. VER the city the mist looms gray ; Smoke from the chimneys is shifting and streaming ; The gilded Cross on the spire is gleaming — A single rift in the cloudswept day ; And over the city the mist looms gray. The red brick rows stand gaunt and grim — Sentinel posts of trade ' s contriving ; While faces seamed with its craft and striving Peer from the dark to the daylight dim, Where the red brick rows stand gaunt and grim. An April swallow is floating slow High o ' er the roofs and the vellow river; Careless is he of the hearts that quiver Where hurrying feet past the bridges go — The April swallow is floating slow. Onward presses the pilgrim throng; None shall know of the goal that awaits them, — None but the Dreamer whose dream creates them. Pouring His thought through the world along As onward presses the pilgrim tiirong. Above them Justice the balance holds, Her tall white form from the prison lifting ; Little she recks of the shadows drifting — She whom the bandage of blindness folds; Above them Justice her balance holds. All we would know the fog shuts out : What of the heart of the day ' s dull history — Glory or gloom at the core of the mystery. ' Madness or vision the truth of the doubt. ' But all we would know the fog shuts out. Over the city the mist looms gray ; Smoke from the chimneys is shifting and streaming; The gilded Cross on the spire is gleaming A single rift in the cloudswept day ; And over the city the mist looms gray. —Lillian Corbett Barnes, ' 91. 228 T HE night is drear and the stars are dim, There ' s a feeble moon o ' erhead ; And a gray mist clings to the rigid earth Like a face cloth over the dead. I must find my way through the trackless vague, An hour ago, at my lightest word Though Tm loath, I ' m loatli to go; I must leave the light and the life I love, For I died an hour ago. I know I am dead, for my form lies there. And my friends are weeping around. They had given their lives for me ; Now I call in vain, for their ears are deaf, And my tears they cannot see. There is no place left in the world I knew, ' Midst the friends I loved, for me; And I clasp them in vain with shadowy hands, They are blind and deaf, and the earth is cold. And my voice has lost its sound. And the night is gloomy to see. I must wander forth through the cheerless mist. Though the way I cannot know; And there ' s never a friend or a ray of light : Oh, I ' m loath, I ' m loath to go! Vespers. T HE obedient throb of the music Responds to the ivory kevs Like a prisoner unresisting Through despair of its release ; And aloft, with a holy radiance Divine with the Sabbath peace. The gold of the college motto Is gleaming down. And the lights above the altar Are a crown. One shuts one ' s eyes, and the music Still throbs to the ivory keys, ' Till it throbs itself into memories Whose voices never cease ; And one ' s heart goes silently with it Into other scenes than these. The gold of the college motto Is gleaming down, And the lights above the altar Are a crown. 229 On Reading Poe ' s £;igeia. The Litekarv World, iSSo.

H, splendid is the wide, unbroken reach of sky ! Splendid the one great sapphire of the sea ! The lone white gull is flitting homeless by, And the wild waves exult in Titan glee ! And with a strong, incessant, tireless motion. Like a soul-purpose which no doubt assails, The mighty ship advances o ' er the ocean. But I am weary for a quiet nook of land. Full of tall mapli s and light-swaying ferns ; The mountains guard it tenderly, a giant hand, And safe within the red field-lily burns, Like flames on Summer ' s altar. I am longing For silent steadfastness of solemn hills, Where vain ambitions will no more come thronging. -Josephine A. Cass, ' 8o. 231 A Friendst)tp. 3 The Century, Aphil, 1S90. MALL fellowship of daily commonplace We hold together, dear, constrained to go Diverging ways. Yet day by day I know My life is sweeter for thy life ' s sweet grace; And if we meet but for a moment ' s space. Thy touch, thy word, sets all the world aglow. Faith soars serener, haunting doubts shrink low, Abashed before the sunshine of thy face, Nor press of crowd, nor waste of distance, serves To part us. Every hush of evening brings Some hint of thee, true-hearted friend of mine ; And as the farther planet thrills and swerves When toward it through the darkness Saturn swings, Even so my spirit feels the spell of thine. -Ellen Burroughs 232 ( ollege Songs.

Now, you all have noticed, doubtless, That our building seems to be A center of attraction boundless For dogs of high and low degree. But you mav not all have pondered On each aspect of the case. When endearments vou have squandered On favorites of the canine race. !Manv of us love the canine, Love to see his sportive play ; Having him in recitation Helps to while the time away. Love to see him walk sedately Up and down the chapel aisle ; Or parade, with motion stately, Li the dining room awhile. But, alas ! tliere ' e some among us Who the species don ' t adore; Do not relish, just at midnight. Hearing scratching at the door. So I earnestly request you. That when next a dog vou meet.

FOR SPRING AND SUMMER OF 1894. In announcing ' the opening of the season ' s goods, we desire to call most particular attention to the fact that we have avoided the present general tendency to reduce stock, and have in no way curtailed ours, either in quantity or variety. On the con- trary, we have added several new classes of garments not hitherto obtainable ready made. In style and cut we have en- deavored to guard against those exaggerations of fashion so generally found in lower grades of ready-made garments. Our Furnishing Department embraces a most complete assortment of articles in that line for Boys as well as Men. We would call especial attention to a line ol leather and wicker goods in this department, including Luncheon Baskets for two, four, six, or eight persons, also Leather Traveling and Kit Bags, Sheffield Plate Flasks, Riding Whips, Crops, etc. Catalogues, samples, and rules for self-measurement sent on -application.

ARTHUR OILMAN, M.A., is the Director. A salary of ten thousand dollars a year for a woman teacher woulci have seemed preposterous a few years ago, yet we can secure it if we can find the woman. The chairman of the nom- inating committee made personal application to us. ' It is not a question of salary, he said, hut of the woman. We would rather pay ten thousand dollars than less if she is worth it. We are not over-confident of finding her. We mentioned some of the hest women teachers to him. All of them had been con- sidered, and upon one of them the lot niitiht possibly fall. But there were points in which she did not quite meet the ideal of the committee. In fact, the right woman is not now in the front rank. She is doing quiet work in a modest wav in some seclu- ded school, and must be fflfl nfin hy he came to us. If discovered. That was vlUiUUU the choice must be made from those already known to Ikj good teachers, he wouldn ' t need to come to an agencv. We wish we knew where she is. Perhaps some reader of this can help us. First a woman, then a lady, then as much more as you can get AH this, of course: this is our old motto, on which our success has been liased. But this must be a grand woman — such a woman among women as Mark Hopkins was a man among men. And a lady who has or w-ill acquire social distinction — be recog- nized as pre-eminently a lady. And there must be considerable more to get too. Dear, dear, when she has been foui.d it will be easy to say, Why, of course. But just U nUAU now we are puzzled.

My little boy, aged three years, had a severe Cougti all Winter, resulting from La(irippe. For two weeks we did not sleep at night. When the paroxysms came on he had to be held up to keep him from choking to death. Though we had physicians, and the boy took medicine all the lime, he never seemed lo get any relief until I began to give him Piso s Cure for Consumption. He would sleep sev- eral hours after taking a dose. When he egan coughing he would halloo Piso ' s ' . ' : ' ] I j as soon as he could get breath. Sometimes I gave him three doses during the night, and after each dose he would go to sleep. We are now giving him the third liottle, and he is so nenrlv well that a dose taken occasionally is all that is necessary.— Mrs. A. H. Smith, Bald Knob, Arkansas, April 21, 1893. Prepared by E. T.
