I OUR SUSANNE ' 26 l- l916 CLASS HISTORY UR Freshman year we entered here as timid as could be- No other Frosh were ever so obedient as we! We were the first in college who weren't under Freshman Rules But most of us observed them, as they do in other schools, Which must be why, unconsciously, we earned the reputation CAccorded by the Sophomores, the lords of all creationj Of quite a model Freshman class -until we stole their spread! What happened then a few of us remember still with dread! We took our awesome midyears as if to the manner born, With due attention to Big Ben, who called us in the morn. We showed our great abilities in the dramatic art By our successful Freshman play, when nearly all took part- The Twig of Thorn, indeed, was praised to such a great extent That we repeated it, and cleared expenses, every cent! We went to lots of parties, and all through that joyous year We never let our duties with our pleasures interfere. We 'stablished a precedent for future Freshman classes By hanging dainty May-baskets for all the Senior lassies. The Sophs tried to break up the spread we planned to have that night Our elders called it hazing -but it was a joyous fight! 27 And only one of us was caught-and she was soon released, So after all the tumult we enjoyed our gorgeous feast. In june we learned, by Moving-up, our right to dignity And faced the world as Sophomores with much expectant glee. Our second year our class had gained two members, and lost one, And Blackwell was All-Sophomore, which promised lots of fun. The Chronicle of Blackwell House relates the glorious tale Of escapades we can't forget-though o'er them draw a veil. The social functions of the year were many and were gay- Our banquet at the Seneca we count our gala day! CWe beg most humbly to correct the IQI 5 PINE, Which states that IQI 5 was the last class so to dine, COur Sophomore Banquet was the last D And after that, a lull- We studied, oh so hard, for weeks-lest profs should think us dull! With wiggle-parties now and then, to ease the mental strain, Knowing that work all unrelieved deteriorates the brain. We had a lovely May-day, with a breakfast for the class- The kindness of our hostess nothing human can surpass! We spent a merry spring-time, though we testified dislike, When it came to Moving-up Day, of experiments in Psych. We did a lot of fooling-till we realized that we Were upperclassrnen-+then behaved with proper gravity. Of Prom the Juniors rave, we say-no wonder! For their days And nights are filled with worry as to ways and means to raise The necessary ducats to make Prom a grand success! We gave a garden party in October, and confess That we had just as good a time as any guest, that night, And the money in our coffers gave our chairman much delight. Our system of class parties was a brilliant inspiration And gave us opportunity for proper recreation. Our midyears were affected by a very sad event- Miss Spalding entered with us, but, alas, she up and went, In spite of all our protests and our plea that she would wait just one more year, until our dean would let us graduate-! The stunt the Freshmen gave for us has won deserved renown, Their Vishus Vodvil was the best that ever struck this town! Then came our challenge to '18, to fight us in the snow, We took our beating like good sports, but-that we fought, they know! And then came Prom! Our wondrous Prom! And words are all too few To do that function justice, but, Betty, we're-proud of you! 28 May-day came swiftly after, and in spite of chilly rain We gaily skipped to breakfast at our patron saint's again. On Field Day highest honors were awarded to our class- Oh, how we cheered our athletes as they sported on the grass! The Junior-Senior Send-off, on a night in early June, Was a trip by Portadora, underneath a glorious moon, While later, at the Seneca, the Reading of the Will Is another joyous mem'ry-but the parting, grieves us still! Our finals in Philosophy and Shakespeare gave a name To our stunt on Moving-up Day-then the long vacation came. ni SENIOR CAKE And now we're stately Seniors, garbed in somber cap and gown- Our moral obligations which have won us much renown! We came back Without Alberta, business claimed her for its owng She is gone but not forgotten -we lament our fairy, flown. Three new Seniors from Keuka came to join our class this yearg It has done us good to know them, and we're mighty glad they're here Our Pybie gave a party two engagements to proclaim- The girls named Smith are ministers to feed Love's sacred Hamef' Our officers were splendid sports! The week of Hallowe'en They entertained us in the gym-and scared us almost green! As the guests of 1918 to the Opera House we went, And partook of thrills and candy to our hearts' supreme content. 29 . AWW , .4 ' ' w In every college function we held our accustomed placc, Enjoying every moment-and sustained ourselves with grace. At midyears-time we thought it wise to do our social duty, And asked the college to attend a party that for beauty We think has never been excelled-a brilliant masquerade! With song and dance and stunt and jest and lovely Dress Parade! A party all of hearts and darts was given for our delight By IQI6,S sweet-voiced friend, one February night. To raise some money-needed sore-we gave The Twig of Thorn Again, and most successfully, Cthose snow drifts did adorn The campus in a way to earn the College Club's kind praise D We're grateful to the faculty, who come to all our plays! The Senior Banquet was a great Preparedness affair, Appropriate to Leap Year, With all toasts composed with care. It was a sob-less party, for we felt that such events Are much too gay for us to waste, indulging in laments. And now our aching brows, alas, are marred with aging lines- From dawn till dark, and then till dawn, the weary PINE Board Pines. May-day is now approaching fast, another breakfast gay At our dear patron saint's this year will celebrate our day. Then comes Commencement, and we'll bid the Hill a sad adieu- Good bye, dear College and dear friends- Good bye, good luck to you! ANNE ELIZABETH MARVIN, Historian 1916. M us.

MARJORIE MACDILL Vice-President, FRANCES HENNESSY Secretary, . . HANNAH THOMAS Treasurer, MARTHA SWARTHOUT JUNIOR HISTORY You are old, Seventeen, a Freshman once said, And your hair has become very white. But yet in your classes you still keep ahead. I wonder what makes you so bright? In my youth, the grave Junior replied to the child, I feared I might injure my mark. Professors of Latin and Math. I reviled, But I studied-that's why I'm a shark. You are old, said the Frosh, as I mentioned before And are dreadfully learned and thin. To gymnasium class you ne'er come any more, But think of the games that you win ! In my youth, said the sage as she shook her grey locks, I worked out at gym all the while. I vaulted with energy over the box. I did everything-for a smile. You are old, said the Frosh, One would think you too weak To take any part in the play, And yet you're the heroine lonely and meek And even the villain-they say. When I was a Freshman, I practised all night To make our Frosh play a success - And over her face came a smile of delight !- Said the junior, That did it, I guess. 35 ii' Q AWW Q A ' ll Your voice seems as steady as ever. You go to the Glee Club, and actually sing. What makes you so awfully clever? My dear little child, the Junior replied, When I was as tuneless as you, I went to the Glee Club, and right nobly tried To sing-now I sing as I do. You are old, and the Freshman respectfully glanced, You are dignified, and you are calm No body on earth would think that you danced, And yet-Oh I say, how's the Prom? The junior replied with a smile of great glee, The Prom ?-'Twill all others surpass, My dear little Freshman you just come and see. It's our Prom, and we are some class. ELIZABETH DURFEE, H You are old, said the maid, yet you do everything. ' istori an 1917 OFFICERS ' 36 SOPHOMORE CLASS -A JSOEDOQOH SOPHOMORE CLASS President, . . CLARA ROEVER Vice-President, RosAL1ND DANIELS Secretary, . . ALICE COUGHLIN Treasurer, MARY PFEIFFER CLASS HISTORY HE last event of our Freshman year was the class breakfast at Blanche Fairfax's. At the transitional stage, between Freshmen and Sophomores we presented Freshman's Pro- gress, that was on Moving-Up day. In the fall, October twenty-fourth, nineteen-eighteen had a pro- gressive tea in Blackwell. A Week later-came Sophomore Hop, our first official event as Sophomores. 38 Then on January fourteenth we escorted our sister class to Smith Opera House to see Fine Feathers, and the next week disguised ourselves for the Seniors' masquerade. It was the most interesting party! As for basketball, who's afraid? We're not, for 1918 is cham- pion! But, however, We're aging fast, Witness eleven recent birthday parties to verify this statement Cand some of us have even taken to caneslj. Now We are gradually developing our interest in academic matters and who can tell what may happen before June, 1918? A. EDMERE CABANA, Historian, 1918. 4,1 , .

ESTHER WOOD 1919 OFFICERS 4 I FRESHMAN HISTORY HEN the girls returned to college this fall, they were pleased with the extreme youthfulness of the entering class, for among us are some of the youngest students that ever entered William Smith. The Christian Association welcomed us with a tea, at which the other classes tried in vain to overcome our shyness. The following week, to make us feel more at home, the College gave us a Baby Party, and when the girls had come down to our level, they found they had much in common with us, after all. On November twenty-ninth the class of 1919 was formally or- ganized. Since that day our influence has been felt in college activi- ties. That very night at the track meet, which our sister class gave us, we showed promise of our athletic ability by carrying off many honors. As to our later successes in basketball, the upper- class men can stand as witnesses. Gur artistic talent furnishes posters for college performances, we sing in the Glee Clubg each week we travel to foreign lands to learn how other people live. Our play, The Piper, has set for the next Freshman class an exceedingly high standard, which they will surpass with difficulty. When the Seniors asked each class to prepare some stunt for May Day, we alone rose to the occasion. In spite of these various activities that we have not forgotten our real aim in college is shown by the brilliant record some of us are making. But our lasting distinction will be that with our class Miss Blitz came to William Smith. GLADYS HORTENSE LAW, '19, Historian. 42 L DRAMATICS On December thirteenth the college play, AsY ou Like It , was presented in the gymnasium. All the Seniors in the cast had leading parts. Helen Pybus had the leading man's part-Betty, the leading cloWn's part-Sarah, the leading page's part-julia, the leading wrestler's part-and Hazel had the leading strings of the curtain to pull, which according to time-honored custom refused to pull. The cast was as follows: Duke, living in exile ..... . Helen Moore Frederick, his brother, usurper of his domains , Esther Sutton g Lords attending upon the banished Duke . f 13133233 Le Beau, a courtier attending upon Frederick .

They fondly hoped that this artistic production would entrance the hearts of their intellectual audience, the College Club, but what was their grief to read in the Geneva Daily Times the following evening that All who attended the Col- lege Club meeting at Miller House felt that they were well repaid for braving the stormy weather by the beauty of the campus. The following night the play was repeated for the public. 45 As You LIKE IT THE CAST Nessa Teig, the woman of the house . . . Margaret Brown Maurya, her neighbor . . .

MISS GOTT 50 Athletics When we as Freshmen did alight There came another frosh named White, With greetings meet out in the gym We sang a little song to him. Though blushes round his face would lurk That man knew how to make us Workg Our toes must be in one straight row, When Whitie spoke we had to go. Then o'er the horse we needs must leap, For some the beast was all too steep, And these fair maids perchance must stop To rest awhile upon his top. We danced sometimes and lucky, she Who happened all alone to be. Beneath the boiling suns of fall We fought about a hockey ballg Then red with fLu'y to our chins We whacked our Sophomore sisters' shins. 51 As Sophs with myriad blushes more We met our teacher at the door. We trod the ladder at full speed, Too risky-the tall girls agreedg It brought them heavenward far too near, In vain to try to soothe their fear For when at last they were brought down They swore they'd never leave the groun'. If one had learned this dextrous feat On May-day she'd have been more fleet. The Seniors then a track-meet gave We proved ourselves full strong and brave The broadest grin was in our class The high jump Went to our small lass For though some swore it was a squeak, It wasn't anything so weak. We used our lungs that night full well On distant ears our cheering fell. A doctor in our Junior year Would our athletic antics steerg He would not let us even run For fear we would get overdone, But for our carriage we must walk 52 It helped us not to try to balkg We twisted sticks about our head Or gravely waved dumb bells insteadg We learned to climb a dangling rope Then greased our bleeding hands with soap The Christians gave a grand horse show The junior class perforce must gog Of course it gave no one surprise That we took almost every prize, On all fours one lass tore her dress She won her ribbon, nevertheless. Our first field meet we held in May- Triumphant we, that happy day. For in our numbers one could eat, And one then proved herself quite fleet. The strong of arm was also ours, Twice over victor-happy hours. It mattered not if bones were sore For we had won one victory more. Though Senior duties won't allow Us to come out and show you how, We hope that, sisters, you may still Pursue athletics with some skill. 53 FIELD DAY The First Annual Field Day was held under the auspices of the Athletic Association in the grove on Monday, May 24.

What is a house- party for, unless it be a good time? But this W. S. C. A. Cabinet houseparty had that mixture of work and play, of seriousness and fun, which makes up the all round life. Betty, Margaret and Hannah, the three Juniors, preceded the rest of us, and opened the cottage which Katherine Gracey, '14, had so kindly lent us. Food and Finances were Hannah's and Margaret's duties-no small task when ten William Smith girls were concerned! Late Saturday afternoon six people alighted from the train at Earl, and found Margaret and Betty waiting with a wheel-barrow. Mrs. Lansing, mother of us all, would not trust her package to the wheelbarrow, nor even to Stella. Did we wonder when we learned that the contents were dozens and dozens of eggs? Stella caused commotion enough when, soon after arrival, she posted the Work Schedule which she had prepared. The only real cause for com- 59 plaint, however, was found in the item: Sunday dinner, Betty Sweet and Stella Travis. That combination was too much! Beside our places at table that evening we found the pretty house- party programs which Helen had made. Inside of the attractive cover was the personnel of the Christian Association Cabinet, a copy of the morning schedule, and a list of the houseparty duties of the cabinet members. After we had looked at the programs, Mrs. Lansing led us in the evening prayers of which she had charge the three evenings we were together. It was late that evening before the cottage was quiet. Explana- tion: Betty Sweet and Stella Travis are members of the cabinet! Sunday morning after breakfast had been eaten and dishes were washed, Esther. the bell ringer, started the morning schedule. The schedule as planned was strictly followed: 9:30- 9:45 Morning Prayers. 9:55-10:25 Bible Study. 10:30-I 1 :oo College Problems. 1 I :Io-1 1240 Committee work I I 245-12200 Program for year. 60 E The genuine help received from this scheme of Work exceeded the expectation of practically everyone. The discussion of committee work was in charge of two chairmen each morning, and the Work of each committee was planned with a vigor that showed the morn- 1ng hour to have been wisely chosen. Each cabinet member had pencil and notebook, where items were noted as the discussion touched upon her special work. But even the most alert cabinet member fl IU' I? af u u r Y ' l OUR CHAPERON 61 was ready to stop work at noon, and enjoy the out-of-doors While dinner was prepared. Sunday afternoon passed quietlyg some went rowing on the lakeg others strolled along the shore. Callers came to see Helen, and brought her hot house flowers! Monday morning our one belated member came. Gretchen arrived from Worcester in time for breakfast, and to take her part in the morning schedule. In the afternoon a tramp up the glen with many adventures en route, a shore dinner when We returned, hungry and tired, and then-Where were Stella and Esther? They missed a fine bath in the lake! Tuesday morning there Was a great scramble to get ready for departure in the Portadora. After a fine ride over rough waves, with spray in our faces, We were again in Geneva. By unanimous vote the first W. S. C. A. Cabinet House-party was declared a genuine success. . 62 'Yi ' V 1 f- 1-TF -1-we Silver Bay We've been trav'ling on the railroad, All the livelong day, We've been trav'1ing on the railroad just to get to Silver Bay. . Blithely sang four William Smith delegates, as dusty and travel worn they alighted at Silver Bay. Vera Nasmith, '16, President of the Christian Association, Betty Durfee, ,I7, delegate from the Association, Harriette Skinner, delegate from the class of IQ I7 and Gretchen Battey, delegate from the Athletic Association and the class of 1916, were the ones chosen from our number to represent William Smith at Silver Bay. . . I d The charm of this lace they declare is long to be remembered, the happy ays , P Spent in work, study, and play, with always the brooding quiet and restfulness, which calls to mind the words of one of the favorite songs- Let us think what we mean when we say, That the Spirit of Love means a World of Peace, 'Tis the spirit of Silver Bay. Truly the charm of Silver Bay lies in the atmosphere, for At Silver Bay all good will abounds And we meet on a common ground. 63 - AWW - A l Friendliness is the secret, the greatest blessing given to man, and at Silver Bay one feels sure that each one she sees is a friend. This is' the real charm which draws one again and again to Silver Bay. It is with a determination to introduce this same spirit of Work and play domi- nated by friendliness into William Srnith, that the delegates leave Silver Bay. What an ideal world a college would be if it were permeated with such Christian unselfish- ness and thoughtfulness for others as reigns supreme on that beautiful spot on Lake George, and gives to the thousands gathered there a feeling of peace and security, as with one accord they all begin: l'is the hour when we gather as one big clan, When the sun sinks low in the west, And the night creeps down o'er the mountain tops As we sing songs we love the best. Though our Alma Maters receive our praise, For the gifts we can ne'er repay We learn right here of a broader love, 'Tis the spirit of Silver Bay. G. BATTEY, '16.

Very well I will do so. Now to commence. We are full of mournfulness to acknowledge that we are not so active now as in previous division of year. Firstly let me declare what are not to be recalled. There are no members from our collegiate class, 1919 by number, approaching up to join our ranks, whereforely it must be with greatly regretfulness admitted that they are not come to make applications from their English vocabularies with properly use of vigor and decormn. Secondly if you are filled with disappointment by approaching out hastily some coldly morning for New York's Times or Boston Transcript not to see bits of news concerning rapidly progress of females of William Smith's Collegeg don't blame honorable Press Association. We are lacking muchly in funds none of which can gracefully ac- cumulate by selling Christmas postals which you are full of unwill- ingness to buy although we respectfully put sign on bulletin board inviting you to do so. Thusly we snuggest with due respectiveness that more support be permitted from incoming students. The space so kindly alloted me are thusly exhausted. Hoping you are the same, I am A ALREADY To-Go. 68 I ,T - - Will the meeting please come to order? questioned the Editor- 1n-chief of the Ridge. One of the associ- ate editors removed her feet from the table but continued to crochet. The Editor looked woe- fully around to see if the entire board of five was there. Is Perk coming? The Ridge . 4... L .J - g 7'9 came from another as- sociate, reclining on the bed. No, sighed the Editor, she just tele- phoned she couldn't come. Have you all read this material? The Editor eyed appre- hensively the lean and sickly pile of manu- scripts. All but this musty formal paper that no one reads anyway, and that We'll have to use to fill up space, the Cynic yawned And this here lengthy story that will have to be cut in twain. The Critic jabbed her crochet hook savagely through a sheet. As 69 TATA T il IMOT Yi , A If A .4 ' for this sentimental squash- she vaguely indicated some poems. Do eradicate it. Oh dear, wailed the Editor, ' Don't be so hard on the budding genius! We've got to have some- thing. If you don't like it, why don't you write something yourself? the sarcastic Cynic pertinently inquired. What the Critic said is not 'fit for publication. There's the contest upon which to draw, interposed the Ford member. Well, two of the Freshmen A V have promised to write if they aren't XR too busy with the play. And a Junior will if she gets an idea. Neither money, nor election to this august body, tempts the Sophomoresf' The Editor groaned at this cheering report. The Cynic livened up their sinking spirits by singing off the key, Oh, where, oh, where, is the Ridge stuff gone Oh, where, oh, where can it be? We'll never get an issue out That I can plainly see. The Critic, with accurate aim, stopped the song by a pillow. The Editor doubtfully picked up an illegible manuscript. We could use this, if we have to. Its left over from the last Novel Course. ' . Yes, put that in, it's sure to be nice and literary. The Cr1t1c, for once, was favorable. 70 Unmindful of the interruption the Editor continued, We've got some excellent poetry. That's not very filling, consoled the Cynic. But next year without the Seniors we shall not have any. Then, with this faculty paper I guess we have enough. It will be a thin issue but - At the first intimation of a possibility that the Ridge would go to press, the Critic, with a Cyclopean stride, had reached her own room. The Cynic swinging her lunch kit, hastened away in relief. Only the Editor looked worried, as she carried the material to the office. HANNAH P. THOMAS, 1917. if-sg, N.

All members of the college are members of this association, Whose duty it is to provide for the regular conduct of student affairs and to discharge such responsi- bilities of self-government as they have, with the consent of the college authorities, assumed. At the close of each college year a Board of Control consisting of twelve student members is elected to govern all college under- takings. It is the duty of this Board to consider all matters relating to student activity, and to bring them before the Student Association 75 to be voted upon. The Board Of Control represents all college activi- ties and provides for a representative from each Of the four classes. This year the members comprising the Board are as follows: MISS BLITZ, . . Dean Of William Smith MIss KUNKEL, . . . Faculty Member MARY GALE, '14, . . . Alumnae Member JULIA E. DUNHAM, '16, . . President of Student Government VERA NASMITH, '16, .

For movie shows and auto rides Are very good indeed, And at the Seneca Hotel We dearly love to feed. They argued hours upon one rule, All sitting in a row, With manners grave and dignified, But spirits sinking low. And this was scarcely odd, because They waited for the blow. '. .....ff Four rules were added to the list, And yet another four, And thick and fast they came at last, And more and more and more, T The Secretary took them down, It was a goodly store. 77 They're not for us?, the Seniors asked, Turning a little blueg The dean said Yes, Then silence reigned There was naught else to do. The Ridge is fine, one member said, Do you admire the view? The rules were posted up next day With early morning sun, The juniors eyed them sulkily, T his Work the board has done, It's Very rude of them, they said, To go and spoil our fun.

Can it be true that Hobart men You do not all despise? 79 Memorial to Dr. Silver From the Ridge, May, 1916 The sudden death of Dr. John Archer Silver, Professor of History at William Smith and Hobart Colleges, occurred in Geneva on Feb- ruary 6. We, as students of the College Which, throughout its brief history, had known Dr. Si1ver's devoted service, cannot express our appreciation more fittingly than Professor Yeames has done in an address delivered in St. john's Chapel, Hobart College, on March 24. It is a universal human instinct that is summed up in the old adage, De mortius nil nisi bonum,-Of the dead speak naught but good. One who knew Doctor Silver Well has said that the only fault 80 'Co be found with him was his lack of religious faith. To me there Seems to be misunderstanding here. He had been trained for the ministry of the Church, but had never entered upon that work be- cause of his honest conviction that it was not the work for him, and because of his honest doubt of many of the things that a minister of the church is supposed to believe. 'There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.' Anything like hypoc- risy or even compromise was impossible to him. Intellectual integ- rity is the first requisite for any real religious faith: that first step he had firmly taken, and his sincerity would allow him to take no further steps until he could see the way clearly. Such integrity and sincerity, I may add, have far more moral value--yes, and spiritual value too,-than the easy acquiescences of many so-called believers, Or the narrow-minded dogmatism of many teachers of religion, and one of the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the Church is that it has too many preachers who preach what they only think they believe, what in truth they have never done any real thinking about at all. I believe then that even in his destructive criticism Doctor Silver's teaching was an influence for good, helping at least to clear the air, to broaden the outlook, and to establish the elementary essentials of honesty and clear thinking. He was perhaps an agnostic: who is not? Who is there that in the face of the eternal problems of an infinite universe must not bow his head in utter humility and say, 'I do not know'? He was of course a skeptic: what else would any one wish to be? The skeptic is merely the man who keeps ever alive the spirit of inquiry-that intellectual curiosity in which, as Aris- ' - ' l k t f totle says, all philosophy begins, -who is always on the oo ou or new truth, always growing mentally, .always following the gleam that lures us on the fascinating but baffling quest, the' endless voyage of discovery into 'that untraveled world whose margin fades forever ' th d 1' t and forever when we move. Move we must, as long as e e ica e machinery of the brain holds out-and why not longer? Is the hu- man s irit completely dependent upon the frail vessel in which it P sails on this brief voyage of its earthly life? No, though the ship surel his adven- goes down, though the Voyager is lost to our eyes, y 81 turous spirit goes on forever exploring those immeasurable, unchart- ed seas that lie beyond our human horizons. Of such a spirit as Dr. Silver's we feel instinctively, with a faith that is stronger than all reason, because it has its roots in instinct and emotion, far more potent forces in life than all our boasted intellect, that it lives on, because it has entered so deeply into other lives, because by stern self-discipline, by fearless following of the truth as he saw it, by un- flinching fortitude and serene resignation and self-forgetting good- will he had indeed laid hold on life, the only true life, the life ever- lasting. Moreover, heretic though he may be called-and what thinking man is not a heretic?--Doctor Silver remained a loyal son of the Church. Though he might not glibly repeat the Creeds, he prized the rich treasury of her liturgy, and his attendance on her services was probably not surpassed by that of any layman in this com- munity. No member either of faculty or of student-body was so faithful and so interested a Worshiper in our college chapel. It was fitting that for him should be said in this chapel the last and most beautiful of all the Church's services, that Burial Office which is perhaps the most sublime composition in all English prose. Finally, I feel that in the life of the spirit as well as that of the intellect and that of man among men, Doctor Silver was a growing man. The very last real talk that I had with him was something of a revelation to me. I-Ie spoke with approval of some brief and simple printed words, expressing a sort of religious creed, or at any rate a philosophy of life. I said to him: 'You would yourself en- dorse that much of a creed, wouldn't you?' and he replied, 'Yes, I think that I might, except perhaps the belief in immortalityf A few days after that came the sudden shock of his death. Now he knows, as we all shall know in due time. The words of that little confession of faith were as follows: I quote them to show how far from an infidel our friend was, how real a religious feeling he had after all: 'I have learned to esteem Truth above all things, to believe that this is a spiritual universe, that faith in God and in man always justifies itselfg that good-will is the bond which binds man to man, 82 and man to Godg that man may be co-Worker with God in bringing cosmos out of chaosg that the humblest service may be infinitely Worth Whileg that the beauty of the visible world and all that is fine rqgf ,t o r X R. if 1 nn. Y' . 'v , uf sl L L ,QM . H - , . Tw and high in our inner life are proof of the Divine and the Immortalg that clear thinking and right action give man a sufficient and self- rewarding task, and earn him a place in the universe: that neither this World nor the World to come has anything for the right-minded 33 if D D , A I l ' man to fear, that the possibilities of life here and hereafter in beauty and in service are infinite' Whatever his faith, at any rate Doctor Silver always seemed to me the truest Stoic that I have known, whether or not he was a con- scious follower of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. And next to being a good Christian, far better than being a poor Christian, it is to be a good Stoic,-no easy task for the human spirit, imprisoned as it is in this poor body with its weaknesses, its pangs and fears, its needs, and imperious desires. Much of the best that is in Christian- ity has come to us from the Stoics, who indeed carried moral philoso- phy and purely natural religion as far as they could go, till they were kindled into emotion and vital spiritual power by the transcendant light shed upon them by that Teacher who truly was of God and spake as man never spake. Death has come very close to us all, and no philosophy of life can be worth much that does not take account of death as well. It is not a morbid View that I would urge upon you: live your lives as fully and largely and joyously as you can, getting all you can out of the infinitely varied spectacle of this rich world in which we live for so brief a space at most, exerting every power to the utmost and missing no happiness or profit that life can bring, but do not neglect to look at life also under the aspect of eternity- sub specie aeternitatis, in Spinoza's memorable phrase. Those eternal aspects we End in the outer universe with its indestructible matter and its inexhaustible beauty ever combining in infinite variations and in that inner cosmos of the human soul, with its infinite yearnings, its hardly yet explored capacities for beauty and goodness and power-those two things, the starry heaven above and the moral law within, which so impressed the mind of Aristotle, greatest of ancient philosophers, as they did that of Kant, the greatest of the moderns. Only when we look on life as an infinite process, and on all lives as emanating from the infinite Source of Life and partaking in greater or less degree of its very nature, ever growing in its quest .of beauty and goodness and truth upward toward the Divine, only then shall we see this short stretch 84 of earthly life in its true perspective and regard death as a natural step in the process, even as birth is. Only then shall we see that nothing is really worth striving for in this Heeting phase of existence except the things of the spirit, which are eternal, the things that are summed up in those two words, which best describe the essential personality of men like Doctor Silver, intellect and character: those only leave their impress when we are gone, those only we can take with us when we go hence, the rest is dust and ashes, the dream of a shadow. The pathos of this pitiful little life of ours disappears when viewed against the vast background of eternity. It is as Shelley, true Platonist that he was, said in what is perhaps the finest simile in English poetry: 'The one remains, the many change and pass: Heaven's light forever shines, Earth's shadows fly, Life, like a dome of many-colored glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death trarnples it to fragments' 35 Faculty MILTON HAIGIIT TURK, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Librarian, Horace White Professor of English Language and Literature.

'Deceased. 99 - AWW - .4 ' OUR NEIGHBORS IQI2 We never knew the Charter Class We only heard about themg Our Freshman year the college learned To get along without them. They left our class their color bright, And their gay bed of flowers- All honor to their memory- Their joys and griefs be ours! IQI3 When we were Frosh, the Seniors grave All condescended kindly To give us excellent advice Which we must follow blindly. All that they did to grieve us Was just to pass up their exams, And graduating, leave us! 1914 Our Junior sisters gave for us A very jolly party, When our turn came to entertain Their welcome was right hearty. We loved their red-rose junior Prom- All that they did was cleverg We'll always cheer for class '14, And sing their praises ever. IQ 1 5 The class that just preceded us Taught us deportment properg But when they tried to stop our fun They always came a cropperf' So we were all the best of friendsg We ushered them with pleasure, And wish them all the best of luck, And joy beyond all measure. IOO We loved and feared that Senior class- I 9 1 7 A class we never knew so well As those which went before us, Was that of IQI7, Who sat in judgment o'er us. They're so sufficient to themselves They seem somewhat exclusive. We'd like to know them better, but We fear to be intrusive. IOI A A 'li-li? 'Q 1918 Our sister class, 1918, At first made a sensation, But now the college views with pride The younger generation. With social queens, dramatic stars, And students grave and steady, That this class is a record one Is manifest already. I02 1919 As for the latest Freshman class, They are so young and tender That should we tell their baby's age We fear it might offend her! They 're charming children, and we hope If they obey us sweetly That in the course of time to come They will grow up completely. rgzo And now we come at last to greet The class of nineteen twenty- The heirs to the chrysanthemum And to traditions plenty. We shall be gone when you arrive, But we a welcome leave you, And in our hearts we'll all be here In autumn, to receive you! 103 A AW-W , .4 l I.. - .,- v 1915 Commencement The Rev. Kerr Duncan MacMillan, S.T.D., President of Wells College, Aurora, N. Y., preached the Baccalaureate Sermon to the students of the Class of IQIS, in the First Presbyterian Church, on Sunday, June thirteenth. The Class Day exercises were held on the campus on Monday morning, with the usual procession carrying the pine ropes. The class tree, a blue spruce, Was planted, and the class prophecy given by Ruth Yerkes. On Tuesday noon the alumnee luncheon was given in Miller House. The Commencement exercises took place in Coxe Hall, with an address by Mrs. Henry Fairfield Burton, of Rochester, N. Y. Ten A.B. and seven B.S. degrees were conferred. Commencement week closed with the Senior Ball in Williams Hall on the evening of Tuesday, June fifteenth. gif IO4 WHAT 19116 HAS DQNE FUR WHLLHAM SMHTH UNITED STUDENT AND FACULTY UNITED STUDENT AND CHURCH 106 Demonstrated the Marvelous Value of Cheese as a Brain Food.

Our Ed recks not, just blandly grins, Will some one pass the cheese? Bring here the cheese, oh bring it hither. Some brilliant PINE I Ween! The cheese that Betty made it from Most surely wasn't green. 107 1 Conclusively Proved that there is One Woman not interested in the Affairs of Others. There is a young lady named Finger, We beg and we beg her to linger, On our knees We implore, But she shuts up her doorg As though we were bees and would sting her. 1108 Brought to Light a New Star! Astronomers old, we oft are told, Each day did scan the sky, And when a new star did appear, They sought the reason why. But now it is the critic, Who searches night and day, For every brilliant star, that is Shining upon Broadway. We do not have to search, you The reason, shall we tell? Our Ella proved to be a star, She played all parts so well. 109 SCC S V Added, a RG111St1C louch to College L1fL l What s the good of collc ge d IX s Inspired :L 'Vale Too Long for One Little Song.

' III Opened up an Opportunity for all Billy Schmidters to escape discouragements of School Teaching and a Seven Years Break Down. DO YOU WANT MORE MONEY? To any William Smith student not obtaining a position and needing money I would recommend nothing better than joining the Hopeful Valley Matrimonial Agency. When I started in this work I had no experience of any kind and it was with fear and trembling but a determination to succeed. In more than 9,ooo cases I have helped ambitious deserving young women to secure good husbands. You can do the same. With youth and enthusiasm you can not but succeed. On my list now I have over 1,ooo Women with an allowance of over 3500 a year. What else is there that a woman can do to earn this amount? And there is abso- lutely no limit to the possibilities. No previous experience is necessary. PROMPT ATTENTION TO ALL APPLICANTS Address-H. L. Daily, Manager Hopeful Valley Matrimonial Agency. II2 Set for all students an example of perpetual motion. Soberly, steadily, .Skillfully, readily, Hazel crochets Presents for all her friends. Patterns she begs and lends Naught her dismays. Three cheers for the rarity, Of such Christian charity! Rescued the perishing! When e'er the girls observing go, to old Geneva High They stop awhile at Mary's house, she hands them out some pie.

Ye voices that arise, As the sound of the study bell dies, With direst gloom my trembling heart ye fill. Go, breathe into the ear Thy accents, too much cheer Thy lusty tones awake upon the hill. Ye girls who walk at night Return ere ten doth strike, Or trouble, surely, I will make for you, No error will I pass Lights out for every lass, jude's easy hours, you bet, are mighty few. 114 PUT FORTH A SHINING LIGHT ON THE RIDGE Now it came to pass in the latter days of 1916 Cat the time when Brownie reigned supreme upon the Ridge Board even over six other membersj that in those days as she sat in judgment over all buddingliterary genius, both great and small, calamity fell upon the whole Board. For eight days the Editor wept and tore her hair but on the ninth day she took heart and went unto her classmates, all wise beyond their day and generation, to take council. And when she was come before their presence she exclaimed: What is to become of the Ridge, for lo, even in this month we have not enough material to fill half the pages? Then with one accord answered the Seniors, Go unto Sarah and ask from her a sonnet which shall make all other poetry contemptible to the eye and shall make the Ridge famous throughout all gener- ations. This did the Editor, and pursued Sarah, day after day, until at last the sonnet was finished. And lo, when it was taken before the Board and even unto the oiiice of the dean it passed immedi- ately. The Editor wept for joy. Into the Ridge it went and all that read it were amazed and the glory of it spread from one end of the campus to the other. It delighted the hearts of the professors even unto the youngest member of the faculty and great was the fame of its author throughout the college. Then the Editor calmly sat back in her chair and yawned a sigh of relief. The days of her worry were over, for she had found in the class of 1916 one who could poem even as Shakespeare never poemed and straightway Sarah became a light to lighten the Ridge throughout our last semester. 115 Discovered the fountain of youth. They say that Woman ages fast, But that this is not true, We will maintain until the last And prove the same to you. Our Vera in her Freshman year, With Seniors always did appear. Her Sophomore 'year she did aspire Unto an escort one class higher. A Soph she took her Junior year Her friends all shed a bitter tear. But when a Frosh she this year chose All nineteen-sixteen said, That goes To prove, our Vera now, forsooth Has found indeed the Fount of Youth 116 Prevented deterioration of 1916. Regina alone of all our class Refused in frolics her time to pass. Deterioration she always feared, And ran and hid when friends appeared To take her to the movie show, For movie morals were too low. 117 Has proved the unprecedented brilliance of the class of 1916, the first to have a member on the faculty. Altho a maid of youthful age, A teacher's job you holdg For which you get the lowest wage Paid from Van's store of gold. II Proved- that Woman's place is in the home.

To athletics and dramatics, Marge never did aspireg While at the name Of study Her nose went high and higher. Still she was always busy, A studying what to wear, And what the fashions were in Vogue, And how to do the hair. She's told the literary lights And athletes one and all. That ink and bloomers aren't good form, To wear to any ball. And she has done her duty By this class of sweet sixteen 3 For at the teas and banquets, She's kept all from acting green.

At the first meeting of the society the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, animated by the spirit of humanity and nauseated by the excruciating abuse heaped upon the old animal, commonly called a horse, who now resides in the gym barn, this society pledges itself to abide by the following decisions, namely: 1. No horse, even a Wooden one, shall be allowed to be abused for purposes of physical torture. 2. No horse, even a wooden one, shall be allowed to be vivisected even for a Freshman play to furnish stools for embryo actresses. We, the undersigned, hereby pledge our word of honor to live up to and beyond these resolutions passed this twenty-fourth day of April in the year of our Lord Anno Domini, nineteen hundred sixteen.
