EAR old Aurora! U The loyal Wells girl means a great deal by those three words, they are not to her a mere hackneyed phrase, but the simple expression of an earnest love that has grown up in her heart and become stronger each day of the one, two, three or four years she has passed in the little village ff on Cayuga's banks. It began as far back as the day after her arrival in Aurora as a Freshman, when she took her first walk down street under the care, perhaps, of some kindly old girl. She was homesick and maybe a little frightened, too, Qif she was a good orthodox Freshmanj, but yet she could not help noticing the beauty around her-a beauty that carried with it a sense of restfulness and peace. There was the long village street with the thick arching green boughs overhead. On either side of the road stood quaint, old houses of many shapes and sizes. Some crowded down to the sidewalk in a friendly manner, others by a wide, shaded lawn kept the vulgar world at a distance. There was a high wind-mill turning and turning against the blue sky-and finally, there was the lake, bordered on the farther side by a line of green hills. How still the water lay, and how it gleamed in the autumn's sun- shine! ' The months have come and gone. The Freshman is a Fresh- man no longer, and many changes have come to her in her college life, but one thing cannot alter except to grow deeper, that is, her early formed conviction that Aurora is one of the perfect things in the world. Perhaps the Wells girl may speak thus enthusiastically to some one of thc old residents of Aurora,who has seen many years glide by, in her pleasant home near the village street. She will smile, sigh and shake her head. Ah, yes, she will say, 'fAurora will always be beautiful so long as there are trees and grass and water on God's earth, but, ah, my dear, if you had seen and known old Aurora as I have, you would not be so contented with Aurora of to-day. What changes have taken place since those good old times! ff I suppose you are referring to the families who used to live here Z ' ff Yes, let me tell you something of our life here seventy years ago.

During his absence the settlerslived chiefly upon milk and ground nuts, it is said. Fortunately it was summer, so that the limited diet and a life in the smallest and rudest of shanties did not result disastrously. Better dwellings were put up in the fall. The log house, sixteen feet square, raised by Captain Franklin, was the first built by any white man west of Rome. In walking past the smooth lawn of Mr. Henry A. Morgan it is difficult to realize that in 1790 this land was forest primeval, and that somewhere upon it Qon the spot, I believe, which is now occupied by the gardenj, the log cabin of Captain Franklin was built. A few stones of the old foundation are still left. To the south of the Military Academy, and somewhat back from it, stands a small house with a high peaked roof, and with the tiniest of ells at one side. It reminds one of those pictures in our grammar school histories, of the modest birth-places of some of the United States presidents. The history of this house carries one back to the year 1793. It was then that Major, or General Ledyard, as he was ordinarily called, great grandfather of the present Dean of Wells College, came from his home in New Jersey to settle in Aurora. He was of a Ledyard family of Revolutionary fame, and had served at VVhite Plains and Mon- mouth. In 1793 the Government allotted the military bounty lands along Cayuga Lake, and Major Ledyard received the ap- pointment of clerk of Onondaga county. His journey to his new home was a long and slow one, for the means of traveling were very primitive in those days. Ascending the Hudson in two barges, one of which was occupied by himself, his wife and seven children, the other by his slaves, till he reached the head of Cay- uga, then coming down the lake he passed through a succession of narrow water ways, landed at the present site of Aurora, and built a log house on the shore. Aaron Burr, his warm friend, bought land in the vicinity of Aurora and visited Major Ledyard occasionally. Major Ledyard is said to have chosen the name f'Aurora for the village, and his own name was given to the town of Ledyard. Early in the next century he removed to the hill on which the Military Academy now stands, and there built the house we pass in our daily walks. In those times it was considered a fine resi- dence, indeed presented quite an imposing appearance with the long lines of outbuildings which surrounded it-stables and quar- ters for the slaves. 26 wo of Major Ledyard s daughters were Mary, or 'fPolly, and Margaret, Peggy They were dear old fashroned grrls If you want to know just what they looked lrke, you must go to the Deans parlor, Where you Wrll ind therr portrarts upon the wall Polly, the elder marrred Glenn Cuyler a lawyer of New Y ork her srster marrred Lornelrus, the brother of Glenn X pretty story rs told of Polly's mar rrage One day Polly sat sew rng on her trousseau rn the house on the hrll, makrng, we can rmagrne a prcture very nearly as pretty as that of the Purrtan Prrscrlla of nearlv two centurles ago, even rf there were rn thrs case no sprnnrng wheel to add charm to the scene Now and then the rndustrrous marden filled her needle from the lon0 skern ot thread hangrng about her neck for 1n those days spools of thread were unknownj Suddenly there came a knock at the door and there before her stood her lover Glenn '4Polly,' sard he Uwe must be mauled at once for there 1S a mrnrster rn town now and we cannot tell when one w1ll be here agarn These wer e, we must remember, early proneer days and lt was a rare event when the mrnrster made a vrsrt to the lrttle settlements Very well Glenn ' Polly answered quletly, and whrle the fashroned grrl stood up qurte srmply rn her modest, home spun gown, and was marrred then and there to her lover Devoted and obedrent to the w1ll of her husband as she mrofht be, the woman of those days was not lackrng rn the proper spurt of rndependence One day General Ledyard rode up to the lonof white house that stands opposrte the Presbyterran ohur ch to speak to Dr Delano, the physrcran of the vrllave The doctoras wrfe answered hrs knock 4 Mrstress Delano, sard he 4 where rs your lord and masteri' f'In Heaven su, she returned, devoutly and promptly It was rn that same house on the h1ll that Glenn and Polly made therr home some tlme after therr marrrage Our clrref rn terest rn thrs couple hes rn the fact that they were grandparents of Dr Theodore Cuyler of Brooklyn, whose delrghtful talks at Wells College and whose father ly rnterest rn the vrrls have made hrs vrsrts here a source of the greatest pleasure to us Perhaps the next oldest burldrng rn Aurora rs the large, sub stantral whrte frame house standrnv on the west srde of the street, not far from the narrow ravrne at whose entrance Captam Frank lrn made hrs landrno' It was burlt rn 1810 by Mr Henry Morgan, 27 T ' , . , 7 , . . . . 77 . an . - ' ' . 9 . .

' . and proud enough the townspeople were of it-it was the first lodge in New York State. Masonic meetings are still held in the upper story. Sometime you may have ascended the narrow stair- case, and under the leadership of Mr. Hitchcock have been con- ducted about the dim, mysterious regions above the store. On the walls of the passageway which surrounds the meeting-room hang the swords of the Knights Templar, which have been carried often and effectually in various theatrical performances at the col- lege. DIn connection with public buildings it may be of interest to mention the Aurora churches. The earliest of these is the Pres- byterian. The first church edifice was erected in 1818, but the building which is the object of our weekly pilgrimage dates from 1860. In early times the church members bought their pews outright instead of renting them. When the latter fashion arose, it met with violent opposition from the conservative faction, so the story. goes, and a party broke off from the main body of the church. They began to hold meetings in the lower story of the Masonic Lodge, until finally, when their funds became sufficient, they erected the Episcopal church. Across the street from the Presbyterian church stands the old, brick Military Academy, silent and deserted since that memor- able day in 1899 when the self-important, blue-coated little Cad- dicsl' bade farewell to Aurora. In 1799 the first academy build- ing was erected. In 1802 Major Ledyard 4' conveyed to the Trustees the present academy lot, with the buildings then stand- ing upon it,'7 we read in the History of Cayuga County. This property was always to be used for educational purposes. As early as this, Aurora was dedicated to the cause of education. The first academy building was burned, a larger was then erected and used till 1835, when the present building was put up. The second building is now used as a Methodist church. It is only within recent years that the Academy has been a military school. It was originally an Academy for both boys and girls, then became a boys, school, and then once more a school for boys and girls. It is interesting to imagine what this school must have been like in the early part of the century. We can, I suppose, picture to ourselves a school-room such as we read of in histories of early New England. Rows of benches, hacked by industrious jack-knives, and dog-eared books scattered about. In winter a huge ire would roar up the chimney and the shivering little girls, who had had a long tramp through the snow to school, 30 grandfather of Mr. Henry A. Morgan. Up to that time, he and his wife had lived over 'fthe store,7' an oblong,wooden building situated on the edge of the ravine before mentioned, and not on the site of the f4Morgan's Store we know so well. It was in this building that Colonel Edwin Morgan, the benefactor of Wells College, was born. It was not until after his marriage that Col- onel Edwin made his home in the present Zabriskie home. That stately stone mansion, guarded by two lions, which we know as the Preparatory School,was erected by Henry Morgan, a brother of Colonel Morgan's, and part of his bachelor days were passed there. John Morgan, another brother of Edwin, owned a large farm in Aurora, and built for himself upon it that long, dignified, grey frame home facing the lake, where the Professor of Bib- lical Literature now lives. The college grounds and the 'fWells Placel' were also originally included in this farm. While speaking of the Morgans, the story of old Johnny Locke occurs to me, simply because of the kindness the family always showed the poor fellow. Where this odd character came from, nobody knows exactly. He was born somewhere Uout in the country, and wandered down into Aurora, lived and died here. His mind was somewhat deranged and he led much the life of an animal, but was a faithful creature. It was a strange, unsettled life, that of Johnny Locke. Day after day he wandered up and down the street, always restless, always hungry. He knew, how- ever, where he wouldi find a hot breakfast-three of them in suc- cession if he wished-and inside what cellar or barn door, left hospitably ajar, he would find a buffalo robe spread down for him to rest upon at night. He had his virtues, poor Johnny. He was a faithful watch-dog in Mr. Morgan's store, and no one could equal him in running errands. He would absolutely refuse to deliver a note to anyone but the person to whom it was ad- dressed-even to the nearest relative. At last his health began to fail as the result of his unsettled life. He grew feeble and ill, but was cared for tenderly by the town and by certain families who had always befriended him. When he died he had such a funeral as might have been an honor to the memory of one far above him in station. In Morgan's store you may .see his por- trait painted by the artist Elliot. The face has a vacant, dazed expression that was characteristic of poor Johnny Locke. But to return to the houses of Aurora. The two large frame houses, one yellow, the other brown, that stand on the hill facing 28 would be grouped about it to thaw out. Salem Town, an early principal of the academy, used to heat brands and place them under the desks, for the children to warm their feet upon. For this kindness he atoned, however, by writing a 4' Speller and Definer,', over whose poly-syllabled words many a youngster toiled laboriously. Yet no doubt the children were very fond of Mr. Town. It is said that he was not only respected but loved by everyone. It is the marble physiognomy of this worthy man, surrounded by its ponderous black-walnut frame, that we have the privilege of gazing upon each Sunday morning in the Pres- byterian church. ' A - The academy was the first school built in the United States, west of New York. It had an established reputationiin the old times, but it was under Salem Town that it became really famous. Among the men of note educated there may be mentioned Presi- dent Fillmore and Governor Seward. Somewhat later than the academy, the Quaker school of Miss Maryat was founded on the street east of the main street of Aurora, and parallel to it. Here it was that Polly and Peggy Ledyard Wrote copies and did sums. Madame Smith, whose fam- ily lived in Cazenovia, went as a boarder to Miss Maryat's, and a very homesick little girl she was. There is a story of how she used to sit by her window, gazing toward her own village, and while the tears streamed down her blue-checked apron, wished, oh so earnestly, that she had never come to that horrid Aurora. Of the late history of this school it is impossible to learn any- thing except that on the departure, deposition, or demise of the Quaker lady, it was kept for a time by one Miss Boucher. Noth- ing is left of the building to-day. . And now, of course, we come to Wells. As we have all listened to Founderis Day addresses it is not necessary in this sketch to discuss the life of Henry Wells. His connection with Aurora dates from the time when, as a young man, he ff boatedw grain on Cayuga Lake. After he had established himself well in busi- ness he bought a portion of the Morgan farm and built a house for himself upon it, and in 1866 he laid the corner-stone of his great gift to young women- Wells Seminary, later 'Wells College. There is only one story of the old times that is connected with the college grounds, so far as I can learn. In the ravine south of the basket-ball court Indian John was hung for the murder of a white man, away back in 1804. It is hard to obtain a definite account of this event, and, indeed, it is rather pleasant to have it 31 wrapped in vagueness and mystery. For those who prefer fact, however, here is a short story of Indian John which purports to be true. He was an unworthy representative of the noble tribe of the Delawares, sullen, gloomy and a slave to the fear of witchcraft. Une day he was out hunting in the neighborhood of Seneca Falls with a man named Phadoe. The latter brought down game with much success, but luck was against Indian John, who fell into a great rage, supposing that Phadoe had bewitched his game. On his return to the village the Indian plotted the death of his com- panion, but through mistake shot Ezekiel Crane, a white settler. The Delaware was captured with difliculty and tried by Judge Ambrose Spenser in Aurora, for Aurora was then the county seat. The court was held in an upper room of the irst tavern in Aurora, kept by Joshua Patrick. This building, a dingy frame structure with high steps and gingerbread work about the roof, is standing to-day opposite the Catholic church. Here it was that Indian John was condemned to be hung. I-Ie asked to be shot like a brave, with his rifle in his hand, but his petition was refused, and he met the death of a common criminal with the in- difference and stolidity of his race. I-Ie carried his pipes and tobacco to the scaffold saying that he wished to smoke the 4' pipe of peacei' with Mr. Crane in the world of spirits. It was the opinion of Fred, who was for many years janitor of the college, that the spirit of Indian John had not failed to walk about the grounds every night since the time of the Delawareis execution. None of us have ever seen this unearthly apparition, but we are contented with the thought that our Alma Mater is honored by the presence of a real ghost. However delightful our recollections of Aurora village may be, whatever charm its associations may have for us, it is true that ffthroughout our future lives, it will be f'Wells, dear Wells, o'er all forever. With the mention of our college, then, it is fitting that this sketch should close. EDITH L.

At first we were only Q an indiscriminate collection of unknown quantities, but after the preliminary shifting, additions and subtractions, behold us! a problem, the Freshman Glass. This problem was surpris- ingly unlike the other problems of our experience at that time, it set to work to solve itself. The unknown quantities arranging themselves, some quickly and some with difficulty, in different series of equations, their values gradually became clear. In this process, alas! some factors had to be eliminated. Had they but proved to be constants much might have been different. But in spite of this loss the class felt, by the time that its second Sep- tember came, that the results of the problem made a very fair showing. Yes, the equation had been solved, so far we had turned out well, but other tests were in store for 1900. We now went through a course of complete chemical change. Some of ns turned out to be distinctly acid in our nature, others, perhaps, showed light and volatile, but it all served simply to prove that our basal metal was of good quality. It must be confessed that our reactions were often accompanied with much heat, and that an occasional explosion took place when we came into contact with the combustible substance known as 1901, but the ebullitions produced thereby were not without use in the process of our for- mation,-indeed we think they have helped to unite the various substances among us in a stable compound. In our third year, friction among us was reduced to a mini- mum. . We learned to dispose our forces so that we could over- come great resistance with the least possible loss of power, and to store up in ourselves potential energy against that time of need, Senior year. This energy we have since found, somewhat to our surprise, not quite equal to all things as we then thought it to be, but that is a lesson that belongs to our last year. We looked upon ourselves as pushing a heavy load of responsibility up an inclined plane, while others were sliding joyously and thoughtlessly down the same. Since then-but again I am talk- ing about Senior experiences. Perhaps we may also be willing to admit, now, that we secretly considered ourselves as little centers of light to the college world, or as wonderful, brilliant electrical forces, not yet understood but destined to give the world opportunity for strange discoveries. In our last year new forces have been brought to bear upon 51 us. We have evolved into beings with 'fa moral nature whose claims must be satisfied. Early in the year we found ourselves unanimously agreed upon certain facts. For one thing, We are sure that our acts have been determined for us by circumstances and watchful friends. As under classmen We thought that as Seniors We should be able to become libertarians, but that was a fallacy. Another point in our system that soon became clear to us was that Egoistic Hedonism was out of the question for us as a class, and We adopted that virtue for the sake of others which was held up to us, by all who were not Seniors, as the Summum Bonum of our existence. Now that We are, not ready but obliged, to become new girls again, We are Wondering Whether it is to be as unknown quanti- ties, obliged to find ourselves, as chemicals, uniting With other elements that may come into our life, as energetic and forceful bearers of responsibility, shining in social brilliancy, or as those Who shall still be forced to set an example before students. 52 1 13 1 tes 1901 MoTTo Ilodze non eras COLO RS Gm net and I-'Ink FLOWERS Red and Pmk Roses Offxoers Preszclemi Vwe Presbdent, Secrctafry, T1 easzweo , LUQI LIVINGSTON WHITIJLAW IVIINB PVA IVIARIA BENNETT LFNA AUGUSTA ROWLFX ALICF IYATHFRIND BOWEN Seo gecmt at Arms AI ICE HARRII1TP IZENFIIICT I-ionorarg Member MR HENRY A Mono AN Jumor Class AUGUSTINF, MARY LoUIsE, BENEDICT, ALICF HARRIETT BENNETT, IWINERVA :MARIA BOWEN, ALICE KATHARINE DEN BLEYAER, EDITH DILLON, CIIABI OTTF ELIZABFT HARDEIL, ELLA LUCE HIGBEE, MAPJORIE ALICE, MORRISON, ETHEL HAMILL PIUTTI, MINNA, ROWLEY, LENA AUGUSTA, SAUNDEIIS, EDITH MAY, TINSLEY, EMMA LAURA, TRUESDALIL, EMILY AGNES YVHITELAW LUCY LIvINGsToN, H 56 St Loms, Mo Geneva, N Y VIr0'1n1a, Clty Mont 4 ast Aurola, N X Kalamazoo, M1011 Fremont, O Toledo, 0 Mlnneapohs, MInn Denver, Colo Aurora, N Y Mecl1na,N Y Belfast, N Y Lyons, N Y Geneva, N Y St Lou1s,Mo 0 .u.

Moline, Ill. Elyria., O. Fayette, N. Y. T is rather diflicult to explain by the Darwinian theory the existence of a comparatively new organism which has ap- peared in the Wells familia. It is of the species collegia genus Americanus, its particular classification being number 1902. The occurrence of many fossils of the Wells familia strengthens the belief that there never has been any organism exactly like this one, or possessing its peculiar functions. However divided the thinkers of the day may be as to whether it rose from the land, or according to the ancient Greek theory of life, from the Water, they are united on one point,-it is an example of Spon- taneous Generation. They offer as one proof of this the fact that this peculiar type is quite independent, possessing not aped but acquired characteristics. Very early in life it proved itself to be strong and capable of making a struggle for existence against hostile organisms. The law of the Survival of the Fit- test unfortunately cannot be applied as absolute in the case of 1902 since, at the early age of one year it lost many strong organs Which, when regarded from the Utilitarian point of view, Were most valuable. This loss was especially felt in the various class rooms, in music and in basket ball. The study of the com- parative anatomy of this addition to the Wells familia shows that before the loss previously referred to, it consisted of 28 organs, since that disaster, of 15. QNote.-Although this loss necessarily throws more work on the remaining organs, they have been a re- markable illustration of the Law of Adaptation.j As in all other cases of living beings, environment has had great inliuence over the development of this organism in three particulars, Q15 in regard to its early stagesg Q25 in the assimilation of food, Q3j in its later characteristics. I 1. Favorable conditions surrounded it in many instances and the help received was abundantly sufficient to guard it against any light opposition naturally attending its tender youth. . 2. This new member of the familia immediately showed a marked ability to assimilate available food, which it found in fig- trees beyond Jordan,on a Math. bush famous for its strengthen- ing ffrootsfl in supplies generously sent from a little Sabine farm and from other sources, all of which were found to contrib- ute to the perfection of its hygienic condition. 3. While its final development can only as yet be prophesied, the condition of its present environment is especially favorable to growth. No. 1902 drinks from a silver cup, enjoys the lux- uries of spreads and anniversaries at Mrs. Youngs' and adds to 63 the pleasure of having fun that of sharing it with others in the Sophomore Dramatics and on Float Day. The question of Geographical Distribution will be of more importance a few years later, but regardless of its iinal solution there will always exist a strong co-ordinating intelligence through- out all its organs. The last point to be mentioned is the one of most importance to any organism and is especially so to this particular one-it is that of Variability. This word implies either degeneration or higher development. Only in number of organs can this healthy individual be said to have degenerated, it still has a strong in- ternal perfecting tendency which has the choice of working either of two theories, that of Salutatory Evolution-advancement gained by leaps-or that of Gradual Development. Careful ob- servation in several successful experiments has revealed its method of growth to be gmdatim and discovered the germs of many characteristics whose development will be well worth the notice of scientists. 64 f President, .

HE Class of 1903 has gone but a short distance on its jour- ney on that railroad extending from Ignorance to Knowl- edge and with but four stations, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, and yet so far it has shown no lack of energy or ability, and to all appearances it has sufhcient ffsandw for the more difficult up-grades. The first jolt to this express of 1903 was occasioned by its coupling and the selection of a locomotive, which caused much disturbance and disorder on the slow Freight which had started some time before, and had ust reached the second station. How- ever the Unlimited in Every Grace and Charm which was at the third station backed down upon the freight and cleared it from the track to give 1903 a fair start on its journey. Midway in its trip, between the first two stations, a terrible obstacle loomed up, and it was discove1'ed that there had been a landslide of Examination Mountain so severe that the track was entirely blocked and it was feared that the Express might not be able to pass, but when all the occupants took up their shovels and commenced to dig the entire mountain was soon cleared away. A little further on the journey two necessary adjuncts were provided for this Express of 19035 spy glasses in order to glance into the slow freight ahead and a dining car in which to have a banquet. The spy glasses were found to be of the best quality but as the brakeman had forgotten the ear trumpet which should accompany these they were of no avail in ascertaining the cargo of the freight. The dining car, however, was all that could be desired in every Way, being handsomely decorated in silver and cardinal, and hav- ing a bouquet of red carnations on every table, the menu was elaborate and the viands delicious. The travelers were disturbed for a moment by a torpedo dropped on the track by the freight, this exploding caused the lights to be extinguished but they were soon relighted and 1903 went rattlingvmerrily on, over its smooth road-bed. The Express of 1903 has still a long journey ahead, before it gains the terminus but it will keep firmly in the track on its straight course, grinding all obstacles under its wheels. The light from its engine will burn with a steady glow illuminating the road for lonely pedestrians while the sparks fly upward Ad Astra.

Talk about golf and foot- ball. Wy, shure an' thir not in it. Giv' me a game of basket-ball, played by fair colleige damsels an' thet's all I ask fur. My, how I did mesjudge that thir game. But now I think sartain thir's no bitter thing far the constitootion than a good game of basket ball, fur it shure gives exercise enough, an' thin thir's somehow an excitin' ilement about it that rouses a feller's narves to jist the right pitch to make him feel good. When fust I saw thet game I thought it crueller'n a bull iight and then sech scrappin es thir was over that thir ball, en you'd hear some one yellin' cross like 'fStop yer tacklin, en' you'd hear a still mladder voice growl out Ididn't tackle. My, et was eXcitin'! Me narves scarce stood the sthrane. Waal, talk about yer funny stunts. QI larned thet word at collidgej Did you ivvar see some gals tryin' to play that 'ad nivver hild a ball before.' No? Shure an' I larfed till me sides near split. A game 'ud be progressin' finely, when all on a sud- den you'd see a igur with hair all streamin' down her back rushin' acrosst the field With th' ball tucked under her arm, lookin' es important as a Cornell man whin he's made a grand rush. An' thin, when that thir whistle was blowed an' she hed to give up th' ball,-waal, you shoued ha' seen her exprission. Et looked suthin' like bread that has riz too soon, an' has to fall agin.' But thim occurrences was only at fust. Shure, an' they em- proved ivery day, an' ivery day the spectators took more intherest in the game, an' I was allus thir, fust of all, choosin the bist place to see ivery thing. Did the young ladies show me any attention? Waal, I jist guess they did. Fur they allowed me to come to ivery game, even ef I was th' only man thir, an' afther the game was over, the winnin' side allus come and escorted me to the buildin'. They saw in me, be hivins, a man of ghreat ixperience, an' they are very brilliant them ladies, an' know a good thing when they see it. But them games, how excitin' they ware, sometimes I'd hole me breath, an' thin I'd fine myself jumpin' an' screamin' as hard as inny body. An' how funny they-ware sometimes. 97 Yeld see a whole crowd ev gurls a runnin' afther the ball, an' thin, sudden, they'd all fall in a heap, an' thin they'd all thry to git up at once' an' the ball ud be Hyin' way acrost the field While they was wastinl thir time a huntin' fur it. Shure, them games was rough though at fust. Sometimes ye'd wonder ef the gals 'ud have a hair left on their heads, or ef they'd have a bone in their bodies unbroke. ' But the Thanksgivin' game was the crownin' event. Thir was gay colors on both sides, and cheerin' and screamin', and even singin', so lovely that not e'en the Lorelei could equal it, I'm shure. Even the big dorg danced with excitement. It seemed that distiny had made the baaste yaller and White, fur he couldn't be rid and gray, an' iverything should sarve some purpose. Shure, that was afoine game. I was expectin' to see some awful cruel actin'. But no sech did I see. Iverything passed off quiet, an' not a bone was broke. I reckon them new sweaters was the charm, fur it's human natur to be proud er suthin' nue'Z An' the leddies all seemed to hold their heads higher than usual. Be hivins! I was popular thet day. The leddies on both sides loaded me down with attintions. Ivery one tried to do more fur me than the ithers. But ye see I yielded and cheered fur boath sides, so that neither would be offended by me prif- ermce. i Whin ye go to study that healthful, refreshin', and excitin' game, make yerself agreeable an' yell fur baoth sides, an, yelll be treated as royal as I was. Yaas, I say aginl before leavin' ye.-Three cheers fur basket ball.

At the reception given the day after the Junior Promenade, there were men lounging on the railing of the loggia or staring critically at the class pillows on the win- dow seats. In the large room down stairs, groups of four or iive gathered around the tea tables were being served with ices brought from some impossible place behind a screen,while in the room above, enthusiastic college men and girls eagerly discussed the comparative merits of their Alma Maters or talked over the dance of the night before. As the new flag was raised upon its pole for the first time, a shout went up from the little crowd below and every one voted that the whole affair had been a great success. It is hoped that this will establish a precedent and that the boat house reception after the U Prom? will become one of the traditions of Wells. In the winter months when the boats can no longer be used, the energetic boat club does not cease its activity. By artful means, its never tiring officers extort money from the audiences which crowd the gymnasium to witness an amazing vaudeville or to listen to concerts in which celebrieties no less great than Calve and Paderewski take part. Thanks to the generous gift of Mr. Morgan, the club is free from debt for its newly built house, and there are rumors that in the near future, the long wished for stone pier will take the place of the old wooden one, which looks shabby and out of place, beside its fine neighbor. 100 Q E S certain of g gi gour own poets 5 M l have said.

Whoever looks upon thee knows That just Where Spring and Summer meet, Between the violet and the rose, This must have been thy birthtime, Sweet. The apple blooms have kissed thy cheek, And deep into thy merry eyes, Where all my happiness I seek, Have laughed the blue May morning skies. And last of all, Within thine heart The winds of May did softly bring. Of Summer's richest warmth a part, And all the freshness of the Spring.

But stay,-a learned doctor of the laws, Thy eloquence might charm both judge and jury to thy cause. Wouldst teach the young idea how to shoot? The sacredest of oftices, but bears the smallest fruit. What is your substance? Whereof are you made? I ask because the calling is absurdly underpaid. Up, up, my charming friend, and quit your books: You'll find that too much study's ruination to the looks. A little learning is a dangerous thing. Then why not cut it all, and turn your mind to revelling? On with the dance! Let joy be unconHn'd! Mayhap in high society your proper sphere you'll ind. But sweeter still than this, than these, than all, That lot of which as yet of course you have no thought at all. Love in thy youth, fair maid, be wise, and then If not successful just at first there's time to try again. Hence with denial vain and coy excuse! Fm sure the topic interests,--to deny it is no use. Whoever loved that loved not at first sight? The problem vexes many,-canst contrive to shed some light? Thy budding charms,-ha, ha! the wooing o't- So rare they seem, perchance some swain's already fairly caught. O fair, O chaste and unexpressive she, You can really have no notion how delightful it will be. Smooth glides the current of domestic joy. There's a rapture in the kitchen that is quite without alloy, And jellies, smoother than the creamy curd Sweet study: though substantial foods are by a man preferred. Dost like the picture, love? If so, why then The labors of my humble Muse have not been Wholly vain. And now, goodbye: my paper's out so nearly, Alas, in closing I have only room for-Yours sincerely.

These are the only limitations placed upon a committee of arrangements, and these requirements are, perhaps, felt rather than stated. However, whether felt, stated or inherited from by-gone generations of Wells committees, f4The Collegiate As- sociationl, is sure to hear when the report of one of these afo1'e mentioned committees is given before that eager assembly, that : Hit has been decided that we all dress to represent some one be- sides ourselves, and that refreshments will be served in the course of the eveningf' Now with such a prestige to preserve and still to be original is the problem which confronts the chosen few who are forced to be the fountain source of new ideas, and when the event really takes place must be Hmaids of all work. We wish now to make public acknowledgement of our gratitude to all those who served on the committee which suggested, developed and so successfully carried out the arrangements for the proper observation of last I-Iallowe'en. T On this occasion still another demand had to be satisfied, for a celebration befitting HAH Saints Day must needs be one in which witches, sooth sayers and the like may have a part. The Gypsy Encampment satisfied all these requirements and was be- sides so picturesque a scene that a real gypsy would certainly have been envious could he have seen the halls of our main build- ing that autumn evening. ' In one dark corner was a realistic tent lit by one odd old lan- tern. On a low stool sat a fortune teller whose insight into the characters of those whose palms she read was most marvelous. All visitors to the encampment were eager to enter the little tent and while awaiting their turn would wander about, many inter- esting themselves with the twentieth century feature of the en- campment,-the numerous slot machines. There was a little boy who sold candy who proved a great attraction to the children, and there were, too, some little maidens who carried pretty bask- ets and looked so like real gypsies that one wondered if in truth they were natural born whites and good yankees. Besides the palmist to tell visitors of their future, there were two old prophe- 110 tesses who sat over a caldron and from a boiling mess of myste- ries would draw forth each one's future mapped out in detail. Having travelled with these various sorceresses so far into the future that one was weighed down with the burden of so many years, one gladly left these strangely exciting scenes and sought 'fthe Gymf, Thence even the fortune-tellers and the entire gypsy encampment followed and all made merry over the cider, dough-nuts and pop-corn-balls.

On Hallowe'en when the lanterns glow Ruddy and round o'er the throng below Each pumpkin-face Wears a. ghastly grin Wide enough to swallow one in- Yellow noddles ranged in a row. Why should the lanterns mock us so, Gypsy lassies who to and fro Swing in the dance with merry din On HalloWe'en-? This is the reason if you would know, Spite of our charms-of cofufrse of dough, Seeds and apples and twirling pin- The law of our college has ever been That one may have but a ghostly beau On HalloWe'en.

The elephants in this Wonder- ful representation Were especially realistic and the fact that one tired Jumbo had to check his trunk and send it down the moun- tains ahead only added to the fun. But time forbids us to tell more. After the program dancing began and strange and Won- derful combinations Were the result. Hannibal Waltzed with a Dancing Doll-the Father of His Country, though a leader in War, Was not in a dance, so he filuttered by on the arm of a pick- ninnie, black as coalg farmer boys Hirted with stately ladies, even the elephants condesoended to indulge in a digniied two- step.

Those students who offer at entrance the maximum require- ments in all subjects are caused to labor unceasingly and without praise or sympathy. Conditioned students are carefully cared for, are fed appetiz- ing dainties, are petted and complimented both in and out of the class room. Those students who at entrance are able to converse fluently in Greek with the President and his son are not required to elect any modern language during their college course. Any student passing successfully her 'first examination in Math. I. is liable to insult. A comfortable student life is not to be attained unto in that manner. Any student in Math.

T was Tuesday afternoon and I was busy, so busy that at that moment quiet seemed of all things the most desirable. Gath- ering my books under my arm I betook myself to the Li- brary, that place of rest for troubled souls, and when I entered and closed the heavy oak door behind me, I felt calmed by the peace which pervaded the room. I found a secluded corner and opened my book to begin work. How grateful is this stillness after the confusion outside! The Physics lesson is difficult but in this restful atmosphere even Sound wavesi' may be con- quered. Suddenly, somewhere beneath the floor, almost under my feet, a door opens and I hear the noise of a heavy ball, hitting first the ceiling and then the floor and laugh after laugh from girls who seem to vie with each other in exerting their lung powe1'. Soon the jumping begins. Thud, thud-the girls are jumping the rope-each thud accentuated by a burst of laughter. Then music begins, 'drst slow but gradually quickening, a voice mocking my misery while I find myself fitting the words of Mr. Gage to NMa Hannah Ladyf' It is maddening. Suddenly another sound is added to the tumult, the class is at the chest weights. 4'Up, down, over the head, while one poor weight with each stroke utters a hoarse groan at being wrench- ed from its socket. How long will it last? Is there no peace, no quiet, no rest for the weary? f'Class take wooden dumb- bells. I-Iave you ever heard sixty dumb-bells wielded by thirty able bodied girls come into contact at the same moment, not once but many times and then inally drop on a hard wood iioor in one grand crash? They have certainly made the dumb to cry out! How can a poor mortal center her thoughts on sound waves, when sound waves such as these are concentrating their attention upon her? UMark time! Left, right, left, right ! March lv Again the music, laughing, chuckling with glee, and sixty feet keeping time to its measure, marching, run- ning, skipping, leaping, with an occasional halt to make the con- fusion more noticeable when the torture recommences. There are two solid walls between us, but ffwalls have ears'7 and in this ease, unfortunately, the noise 'fgoes in one ,ear and out the other? 138 In this place on Tuesday afternoons Dante might have con- ceived ' 'The Inferno. The music grows quicker, the feet more hurried. My endur- ance has reached its limit, and I put my hands over my ears to shut out the final crash. Silence! Gym, has finally ceased its troubling. But alas ! The object lesson in sound Waves had prevented me from learning any facts concerning them. I, was only conscious of their potency. I returned to my room Where my room-mate was playing the mandolin and several Freshmen were singing their class song, to sit down in quiet to learn the remainder of my lesson. After all, mere noise is only compara- tive. Agnes Myer:-'fi Ah thou art mild, too mild. I pray thee swearf' 139 The Mort er Board. Solemnly into the chapel Walked the Seniors with digniied treadg Each figure a long gown encircled A mortar-board crowned each head. The freshmen with eyes full of Wonder Looked oft from their hymnals away, And e'en 'mid the prayer so impressive Their glance to the Seniors did stray. Said one timid maid to another, As loudly the morning hymn soared: Could you tell me the reason, I Wonder, Why each on her head Wears a board? Why surely, the other responded The reason is certainly plain, By the time you've become a grave Senior Youill need one to keep down your brain. To Lxeo. September, 298.

Extract From the Mrnutes of the Faczultg HE regular meetrng of the Faculty was held rn Room 7 on 1900 When Mafwre had brought rn a quorum, all complarnrng that they had neglected to read the bulletrn announcement, the meetrng was called to or der The mrnutes of the last rneetrng were not lrstened to Reports from commrttees havrno' been called for, the Commrt tee on the Course of Study reported the followrnfr recommenda tron No student shall be requrred to do anythrnv whrch shall conflrct wrth her socral dutrcs It was moved and seconded to adopt the recommenclatron The Professor or Latrn moved to amend thrs by strrkrng out all begrnnrng wrth the word ffwhrch so that the motron should read 'No student shall be requrred to do anythrng ' The head of the Enfflrsh department sard that he could not qurte see how thrs Would develop the sprrrt of hard Work among the students whrch the Faculty teaches by precept The Assrstant rn Eng lrsh called attentron to the fact that several courses that rn hrs tory of musre for rnstance seemed already conducted wrth thrs end rn vrew, and added that the early theolograns could doubtless The Musrc Drrector earnestly denred that hrs courses were 4 snaps, ' but sard that rf necessar y, he would omrt two of the four wrrtten lessons usually grven The amendment was, how ever, lost and the motron rn rts orrvrnal form was carrred, though rt met Wrth strong opposrtron from the Professor of Brble, who consrdered that learnrnv toprcs backward ought to be an all en grossrng occupatron The Presrdent then stated that the next busrness to come before the meetrng was the consrderatron of a petrtron subrnrtted by the students The Professor of Mathematrcs moved that rt be unanr mously rejected wrthout a hearrng Before thrs motron was seconded the Presrdent hedged to say that the request concerned a matter of specral rnterest to the House Faculty, whereupon the readrng was loudly called for The petrtron was as follows WHEREAS Washrngton s Brrthday has proved to be a trme of great men tal and physrcal exertrou to both the Faculty and the students especrally to the first named rt rs hereby requested that the twenty thrrd as Well as the twenty second. of February be set asrde as a day of rest and recupera tron brg-ned SECRETARY OF COLLEGIATE Assocrnfrrorv 144 n nl ' 1 . .

' 1 This reading was accompanied by outbursts of sympathy on the part of the House Faculty. lt was moved and seconded to grant the petition. The Assistant Professor of History thought it would be jolly if that day were spent by the students in the study of facts of prime importance in American history, the fac- ulty holding themselves in readiness to answer all questions, and he offered to contribute printed slips for questions and answers as his share in raising the intelligence of the student body. This suggestion was opposed, for reasons which members, with the exception of the Professor of Philosophy, refused to state. She explained her grounds of opposition to be as follows: According to the newly adopted method of celebrating the twenty-second of February three requirements are made of the Faculty, for which the ordinary routine of their existence totally units them,-they are required to think, to work, and to dress for dinner. After extraordinary exertions of this kind, however useless, it is psychologically impossible, without a day of abso- lute rest, for the mind to regain the necessary balance and calm to be able to present any subject as it should be presented. The Professor of Physics opposed this position because, firstly, he thought a day of rest would not conduce to that mental and moral discipline which is the true meaning of a college course, secondly, not living in the college he found himself unaffected by the considerations of the Professor of Philosophy, and thirdly, he had not understood that any such requirements had ever been made of the Faculty. The Dean said that while the objections of the Professor of Physics seemed to her valid, she was obliged to consider the health of the students. Further arguments in favor of the petition were as' follows: The Professor of Biology remarked that, if the children really desired the additional holiday, she wished them to have it, and the Professor of French added that it was necessary. as far as she personally was concerned, a day being barely suflicient for her to recover from the unusual exertion of being present and on ,time at one meal. The vote was then called for, but before putting the motion the President remarked that he was in favor of the measure since he would be able to arrange for at least two extra lectures on that day. The motion was lost and the meeting then adjourned.
