ANDREWS, Albert Leroy, Phi Beta Kappa, though first in alphabetical order, was the last member of the class to make his appearance in the world. He was born in Williamstown, Mass., Dec. 27, 1878, and received his preliminary train- ing at the Williamstown High School. Through- out his course he has stood in the foremost rank of scholarship, and has been distinguished no less by the general excellence of his work than by the ability with which he has secured prizes. He won first prize in mathematics and second in Greek and in Latin Sophomore year, and besides has held an honor scholarship continuously since his entrance. He also received a Commencement appointment. Andrews's devotion to scholarship, however, has been varied by active participation in athletics, a11d on both the ,QQ baseball and foot- ball teams he has done effective work. I-le has also played on the second eleven. Andy's future pro- fession is teaching, and his address will continue to be XVilliamstown, Mass. ANSLEY, George Hanford, Phi Delta Theta, hails from Salamanca, N. Y., where he entered upon the responsibilities of mundane existence on Dec. 14, 1875. After the ordinary amusemcnts of childhood, he took his first plunge into the stream of learning at the local High School. He came to Williams with the rest ofthe class, and has since been diligently slaking his thirst for knowledge at the perennial fountains in Hopkins Hall. His thirst, however, we are glad to say, has confined itself to knowledge. Ansley has devoted himself closely to the curriculum, while his polished man- ners and gentlemanly deportment have made him a general success in what is known as Williams- town society. He is uncertain as to his future profession, but whatever it proves to be, we feel sure of his continued success. His address will continue to be Salamanca, N. Y. BAKER, Fred Reul, Phi Delta Theta, was born june 28, 1877, in Normal, Ill Space for- bids us to dwell upon his childhood and youth further than to say that he prepared for college at the Illinois State Normal University. Like so many other notable men, he entered Williams in the Gill of 1895, since then his career has been one of uninterrupted tranquility and success. He has conscientiously pursued the curriculum, giving special attention to the Natural Sciences. As his picture shows, he possesses a rare degree of taste ' , H cgrqxylg -2 ,tt-.dr '6 t- !'

Upon gradu- ation, Baker expects to study medicine at the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. His future address will be 905 No. McLean St., Bloomington, lll. BARKER, John, Delta Kappa Iipsilon, Gar- goyle, Kappa Beta Phi, was born'in Pittsfield, Mass., july 2, 1878. ln his youth he attended the Pittsfield High School. The curriculum, with the brilliant exception of Theism, has never appealed very strongly to his adventurous nature. lint in general college activity, literary and social, few men have taken a more conspicuous or valuable part. He was a member of the Sophomore prom- enade committee, and is to deliver the Pipe Ora- tion on Class Day. Barker was also editor-in- chief of the l99 Gul. At the class banquet Soph- omore year, he acted as toastmaster, and well sus- tained the reputation for wit that he had made on a similar occasion the year before. Barker will enter Harvard 'Law School after graduation from Williams, and his future address will be 76 Bart- lett Ave., Pittsfield, Mass. BEATTIE, William Henry, Theta Delta Chi, was born at Cohoes, N. Y., Feb. 24, 1877, and received his preliminary training at ligbert's High School of the same town. Since entering college he has, besides maintaining a respectable class-room standing, devoted much time to ath- letics, especially football. He played on his class team both Freshman and Sophomore years, cap- taining it the latter year. junior and Senior years Beattie acceptably filled a hole on the 'Varsity Scrub. He was a member of the famous Fresh- man supper committee which arranged that never- to-be-forgotten spread at The Worden. Bill's good nature and generosity have made him a gen- eral favorite with the men of his class. He expects to study medicine after leaving NVilliams, and his future address will be 70 Younglove Ave., Cohoes, N. Y. BILLETDOUX, Edmond Wood, Phi Beta Kappa, is one of the greatest sharks that ever came to NVilliams. From the inception of his career on Feb. 9, 1877, until he was awarded the valedictory at the end of his Senior year, his life has been one continuous and triumphant struggle with knowl- edge. His capacity for intellectual application is the wonder and delight of all who know him. Besides leading his class in general scholarship, he has taken first prize in French and in Latin, and THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. has continuously held an honor scholarship since his Freshman year. Billetdoux has, moreover, done no inconsiderahle amount of work outside the curriculum, and is a member of the Honor System committee and secretary of the Classical Society. He played on the Freshman baseball team. He expects to teach after graduation. Future address, 4 E. Quincy street, North Adams, Mass. BCG-ART, Paul Nebeker, is a product of Clinton, Ind., where he made his bow to the world on july 2, 1878. He entered Williams at the beginning of junior year, where he has since applied himself to beating his way through the curriculum, and raising a moustache. As may be seen by a glance at his picture, he has been more successful at the former than the latter. As Paul himself says, the most valuable thing he has obtained from his college course is self-reliance, in which, by the way, he seems to have specialized. As the prizes for this year have not yet been announced, we are unable to give a more exact estimate of his scholarship. He has paid par- ticular' attention to Chemistry during his course, and belongs to the Physics Club and Chemical Society. Bogart expects to enter Columbia Law School next year. Future address, Clinton, Ind. BOLTON, Edward Rice, Delta Upsilon, Gargoyle, Kappa Beta Phi, was born in Hillsboro, Ill., Feb. 21, 1877. He prepared for Williams at the Geneseo State Normal School. Bolton is one of the most prominent men in college, and has held, probably, more oliices than any other man in his class. Freshman year he was elected to the IfVeekLv, and has been its assistant editor-in-chief Senior year. In Sophomore year he was on the promenade and supper committees, and was elected on the Gul. board, from which he subsequently re- signed. H Ben is also a member of the Lyceum of Natural History, Press, and Western New York clubs, being treasurer of the last named organization. During junior and Senior years Bolton has been deputy chairman ofthe Eastern Division of the Na- tional College Republican League, and manager of the musical clubs. He is also chairman of the Sen- ior class-day committee. Besides this, Bolton has played on his class baseball team for four years, and has done much to help win the two champion- ships, he also was 'Varsity substitute his junior year. His future occupation he declares to be WOl'k,1, and his address Geneseo, N. Y. BRANCH, A101120 Edwin, Gargoyle, K. K. K. 13, was born in Boston, Mass., May 1, PAUL N. BOGART. EDXVARD li.

He spent one year at Harvard, and entered Williams in the fall of '96 as a Sophomore. Branch has been one of the most prominent men in his class. He is president of the Gargoyle, class-day president, president of the Andover and Boston Clubs, one of the Dartmouth debaters, manager of the 'QQ Gul., president of the Philotechnian So- ciety, served on the Sophomore promenadecom- mittee, the junior supper committee, at which event he also acted as toastmasterg Shirt-tail Pa- rade committee Junior year, is a member of the Press, Physics, and Chemical Clubs. In addition, Eddie has played on his class baseball team three years, and on the 'Varsity football team his junior and Senior years. He was Williams's football cap- tain forthe season of '98. Branch expects to go into business. His future address will be 257 Fifth avenue, New York City. BROOKFIELD, Edwin Morgan, Delta Psi, Kappa Beta Phi, commenced his eventful career in New York City, Sept. 22, 1877. 'Cutler Preparatory School first awakened in him that appetite for higher culture which he has been endeavoring to satisfy at Williams for the past four years. Bess has given particular attention to the curriculum, and his capacity for keeping at a subject until he has passed it off is unrivaled by that of any other member of his class. He him- self says that the most valuable thing he has derived from his college course is friends. Mor- gan has taken a prominent part in the social life of the college. His future occupation will be busi- ness, and letters addressed to 516 Madison avenue, New York City, will reach him. BROWN, Fred LeRoy, had the singular good fortune to be born in Troy. The interesting event took place on july IO, 1877. Soon after- wards he began to attend the Lansingburg Acad- emy where he continued until he joined the class of ,QQ among the Berkshires. Brown is first, last, and always a student. The assiduity with which he has applied himself to the curriculum is second only to that of Billetdoux. I-Ie has been assistant librarian of the college during the last two years of his course, and has devoted considerable atten- tion to religious work. Like his scholarly rival, Brooktield, Freddie thinks friendships have been the most valuable result of his course. He received a. Commencement appointment. Brown will take post-graduate work at Harvard or Columbia after spending another year here. Future address, Wil- liamstown, Mass. THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. BROWN, Samuel, first saw the light of day in the Emerald Isle, April 18, 1870. He prepared at Greenwich Union Free School, Greenwich, N. Y. Sam is physically the largest man in his Class. His broad shoulders and huge muscles have been the admiration of athletes and the terror of obstreperous underclassmen. He is a member of the track team, and won second prize in the shot-put in the '97 Syracuse and '98 Am- herst meets. Brown has specialized in Chemistry, is a member of the Chemical and the Philologian societies. He will study for the ministry at the Alleghany fPa.j Theological Seminary. His fu- ture address is Box 670, Greenwich, N. Y. BRUNO, Frank John, was born in Florence, Italy, on june 1, 1874. He prepared himself for college. Frank has devoted most of his time during the four years he has been with us to the curriculum and religion. His favorite study has been Natural History. He was vice-president of the Philologian Society, member of the Art Asso- ciation, and Y. M. C. A. committees innumerable. He has been one of the largest patronizers of the Hash House, and is the foremost critic in college. Bruno has also given considerable attention to debating, and is an enthusiastic supporter of that branch of college life. He expects to study at the Yale Divinity School, and letters may be ad- dressed to loo Halsey street, Newark, N. J. BUTLER, Guy Toland, was presented to his friends july 24, 1875, in the town of London, Ohio. He received his first lessons in scholastic training at the Columbus Latin School. Guy has been a vigorous exponent of what is known as high life, and his determined bearing and cheerful dis- position have made him a winner with the fair sex. He believes that college is likely to make a man feel his incompetence ever to master any branch of knowledge completely, and has accord- ingly aimed rather at general culture and wide views than profound work in any particular depart- ment. His future occupation he refuses to divulge, but all mail for him should be sent to Box 210, London, Ohio. CARR, Lawrence Whitney, took up the burden of mortal cares August 26, 1876, at Ashby, Mass. He prepared for Williams at Cushing Academy. Carr has attended faithfully to the curriculum, and maintained a uniformly high average. He has besides played on his class baseball and football teams, and been largely instrumental in creating and maintaining the eminent position held by the Williams Chess Club. FRANK HRUNO. l . GUY T.

In fact he has taken the cup offered by that coterie to encourage the use of the mind among under- graduates. Laurie has also wo11 a Rice Book prize, and received a Commencement appointment. His good nature and admirable character have made him generally liked by his classmates, and, together with his intellectual abilities, been responsible for his election as class secretary and treasurer, which oliice he has held three years. He is also permanent secretary of the class. Carr expects to teach. His future address is Ashby, Mass. CHANDLER, Ralph Starkweather, Theta Delta Chi, comes from Macomb, lll., where he was born May 27, 1877, and spent his early life. He prepared at the Lake Forest Academy. H Starkie has taken great interest in his studies since he has been at NVilliams, being particularly fond of the sciences. He has gained ten pounds, an enviable reputation, and many friends. He is a member of the Physics Club. Ralph declares his future occupation to be banking, and his address will be 206 N. McArthur street, Macomb, Ill. COMSTOCK, Onslow Wilberforce, first hailed the stars and stripes july 22, 1867, in Bos- ton. He prepared at the NVesleyan Academy atWil- braham. He is tl1e foremost thinker in his class, and has been repeatedly appointed for special cogi- tation whenever extraordinary problems were agi- tating college life. He has devoted most of his time to the curriculum, and his firm position for what is right and proper has made him respected by all his classmates. During the past year more men have responded to his calls than those of any other member of the college. Conistoclds favorite studies have been Biology and Philos- ophy. He expects to enter the ministry, and will study at the Hartford Theological Seminary. His future address is uncertain. CONGER, Henry Rutgers, Sigma Phi, Gar- goyle, K. K. K. 13, began the first sketch of his life history in Nyack, N. Y. This occurred Sept. 3, 1877. His scintillating intellectual genius raised him to the front rank of living authors even while in Browning's Academy, where he prepared for college. Since the day of his entrance at NVilliams, Conger has been one of the radiating luminaries in that small but brilliant literary coterie which attained the culmination of its activities in the LI07l:?zm.v Skefrhcs. He has been on the LH. board since his Sophomore year, and in '96 took the first prize offered by that organization for the THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. best short story. In Senior year he was chair- man of the board. The characteristics of his style are an effervescing spontaneity, innocuous persi- flage, and a certain omnipresent, though indescrib- Hble, quality called taste. Hank is class-day poet, and a member of innumerable organizations, which may be found by consulting the tables at the end of this volume. He is also renowned as being the most absent-minded man in college. Unfortunately for belles lettres, he intends to make law his future profession. His letters may be addressed, I9 W. zoth St., New York City. COTTRELL, I-Iorace, was born june 3, 1877, in the little town of Greenwich, N. Y. He pre- pared at home. Horace has been closely iden- titied with athletics during his college course. Freshman and Sophomore years he played on his class football team and the second eleven, while his last two years he has been on the 'Varsity. He is also interested in his studies, and his favorite book, as he modestly acknowledges, is the Bible. He received a Commencement appointment. His future occupation is business, and his address will be Hoosick Falls, N. Y. DAVIDSON, William Henderson, entered the world at Cohoes, N. Y., May 27, 1877. Like his notorious classmate, Beattie, he f'preped at Egbert's High School. Hopkins Hall has been the shrine in which H Davy has olfered his most fragrant incense to the patrons of knowledge. He took to Greek as Goodbody did to Mumnfs Extra, and has pursued it as constantly and successfully. Davidson won a Rice Book prize his Sophomore year, and received a Commencement appointment. His future occupation he declares to be uncertain, though we are privately of the opinion that it will be teaching. His address is So Manor Ave., Cohoes, N. Y. DOUGHTY, Edward Crosby, Kappa Alpha, began to cut ice july 11, 1877, at the popular town of Bennington, Vt. He prepared for college at Lawrenceville.

Corb expects to be an architect. His address will be 2 Park Place, Troy, N. Y. IIORACIC CO'l 1'liEl.L. WILLIA M ll. DAVIDSON EDWARD C. DOUGIITY. GEORGE C. IJOUGLASS. LEO li. EATON. ALEXANDER D. FALCK. WILLIAMS COLLEGE. DOUGLASS, George Centennial, pushed his tirst infantile shriek june 16, 1876. This was in Granville, N. Y. Since then he has been diligently practising oratorical stunts until now his talents have received their proper and adequate recognition. George prepared at Mt. Hermon and the Granville High School. Helhas maintained a high standing during his course, giving particular attention to Philosophy and other cranial clisturbers. for which he has been rewarded with a Commencement appointment. Douglass will enter the ministry. He is uncertain as to his future address. EATON, Leo Kimball, Delta Kappa Epsi- lon, Kappa Beta Phi, first shook hands with the bystanders February 9, 1876, in Oshkosh, Wis- consin. After a successful course at the Oshkosh High School, he entered Williams in the fall of '95. Like all men of sanguine temperament and athletic build he was more forcibly attracted to Weston Field than to Hopkins Hall. He was 'Varsity substitute his first two years, and played on the first eleven junior and Senior years, putting up a strong, steady game at left guard. He is also a member of the college choir. ffEat is a great social light, and preiiminently noted as a racon- teur. He expects to study law at Harvard. Fu- ture address, Oshkosh, Wis.

He expects to enter Columbia Law School in the fall, and his future address will be 514 Lake street, Elmira, N. Y. FITTS, Daniel, Jr., Phi Delta Theta, Gargoyle, thrust his Apollo-Belvidere form upon an admiring coterie, May 26, 1877, in Haverhill, Mass. Find- ing the co-educational atmosphere of the local High School in harmony with his somewhat fas- tidious tastes, he graced its halls, a god incarnate. He early felt the need of a lyre. Finding the THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. market dull on Olympian specialties, he was forced to substitute a banjo. His H divine alllatus was at once distinguished. He made the club Freshman year, and has been leader the last three years. The ethereal smile which floats o'er his serene brow and sulfused cheeks has never been dispelled by Eaton's singing or Goodbody's bluffs. Fitts, after his experience as treasurer of the class- day committee, will enter business. Address, I4 Cedar street, Haverhill, Mass. FOSTER, Walter Eugene, Phi Beta Kappa, Hrst noted his premature lack of cap1'Ilu.rh1'r.r11f1r.v May I3, 1870, at East Westmoreland, N. H. Later he inspired ft thirst for knowledge among his fellow Students in Cushing Academy at Ashburnham, Mass. Closely following a l9S brother, for four years he has kept green the glories of Caesar and Cicero in the local High School. He has also main- tained a high standing in collegiate work, receiv- ing' a Rice Book and a Commencement appoint- ment. Foster has specialized along classical lines, which he intends to follow for his life's work. He has been president of the Classical Society, class historian Sophomore and Senior years. Sophomore year he was elected vice- president of the class, and junior year was pro- moted to president. Aside from his universal popularity, Foster's chief claim to fame has been as leader of that discordant generator of cacophony -the chapel choir. After graduation Walter will become the principal of the Williamstown High School. His permanent address will be care of A. F. Foster, Keene, N. H. GILMAN, Robbins, Kappa Alpha. began to imitate Van Dyke on March 30, 1878, in New York city, and it has been his open boast for some time that he can give that artist points. His stately carriage and keen aspect were derived from a long training at the Yonkers Military Academy, where he captured three brass medals for attendance He later went to Exeter. His early college life was marked by a genial boisterousness, which served to cover up his real character, of which mention cannot here be properly made. His dis- simulation was brought out, however, in the matter of the canes, Freshman year. jack served on the Sophomore promenade committee. He is also a member of the Exeter Club, and has been its presi- dent for the past three years. He expects to take up banking as a business. His future address will be Palisade avenue, Yonkers, N. Y.

GOODBODY, Thomas Pim, Chi Psi, Gar- goyle, Kappa Beta Phi, first chased the family goat through the hogs of Dublin, Ireland, on january 4, 1878. Emigrating as a stowaway to this country, and failing to make the H force, he specialized in H long Dinnis at the Dwight School, New York City. Coming to Williams he upheld the honor of the purple and the glory of the shamrock by defeat- ing Amherst last year in the singles and assisting in the doubles. He is president of the Tennis as- sociation. Tom has occasionally let out his stride in the half mile, winning points in the games with Amherst and at Worcester. Possessed of a wealth of good nature and a true lover of clean athletics, Pim has won many warm friends whose esteem would follow him, even if he should fall back into the savage life of his native clan. However. he believes himself sufficiently civilized to enter busi- ness. Address uncertain. GRANNIS, Grosvenor, Sigma Phi, was born in Goshen, N. Y., on September I4, 1876. The famous town of Sing Sing moulded his growing character, and Holbrook Military Academy pre- pared him for college. H Grove? has acquired con- siderable reputation among us on account of his ver- satility, his geniality, and his admirable faculty of getting into any game that happens to be going on in his immediate neighborhood. He has played on his class baseball and football teams, sung on the Glee Club and taken female parts in Cap and Bells, besides acting as end man in the minstrel show recently given by that organization. Socially he has been much sought after, many people declar- ing that while not handsome he is fZl.SClI'l21tlI1g. After graduation he will go to work at once, and expects to earn a handsome income H picking the buds off of century plants. His address will be Sing Sing, N. Y. HALL, Joseph Ambrose, Alpha Delta Phi, Kappa Beta Phi, first opened his infantile face and a jack-pot, December 9, 1876, in Brookline, Mass. He prepared at the Brookline High School. With thoughts of the ministry, and a pile of reds he en- tered Williams. Both are gone, the former to Sherry, the latter to Goodbody. Hall, besides oc- casional recitations, just for the sake of the custom, has devoted considerable attention to the social side of life, having served on the Freshman supper, Senior class-day, and Sophomore promenade com- mittees, being chairman of the last-named body, not to mention his interstate influence as arbilcr eleganliariml. From force of habit, joey will follow THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. banking, and will be at home Wednesdays, at 178 Tappan street, Brookline, Mass. HATHEWAY, Joel, Phi Beta Kappa, was first found thumbing a Greek lexicon at Westfield, Mass., December 19, 1878. He continued dig- ging Greek roots at the Pittsfield High School. A thrill of joy was felt throughout the entire classical department of Williams when joel's arrival was an- nounced. Freshman year he carried off a Rice Book prize and received honorable mention in Greek. Senior year he won the Thomson honor scholarship and received a Commencement appoint- ment. Besides making the classical departments glow with the brilliancy of his endeavors, joel has been one of the most loyal supporters of the Philo- logian Society and has held the offices of librarian, Vice-president, and president. He will follow the profession of teaching. Future address, Peru, Berkshire county, Mass. HENDERSON, Alexander, Delta Psi, Kappa Beta Phi, was born on jan. 18, 1878, in Brookline, Mass. There is a legend that the sunshine of his countenance melted the snow for nine miles around the town, together with many feminine hearts. He Prepared at the Brookline High School where he began the study of French, which last summer made him the ideal of all the maids across the sea, because of his pretty speeches. Add to these qual- ities the melodious tinkle of -1 Bye's mandolin and the merry twinkle of his rapturous eyes and you Will cease to wonder why he had to tear himself away. f'Bye's repertoire besides including the mandolin and feminine heart strings extends also to the violin and guitar. He is assistant leader of the Mandolin Club. Henderson intends entering business, and will receive his old friends at 6 Louisburg square, Boston, Mass. HIBBARD, Rufus Percival, arrived on April 2, 1875, one day late, in New Haven, Conn. His striking precocity and scholarly reserve early decided his parents to prepare him for college. This task was entrusted to the Gloucester tMass.j High School. While not particularizing in any de- partment of college work, Hibbard's impressive gravity and vigorous argument have elevated him to a position of conspicuous eminence among his classmates. Rufus himself declares that the most valuable thing he has obtained from his college course is common-sense. He is a member of the Philotechnian Society, He expects to study at the Harvard Medical School, and his future address will be Gloucester, Mass. x 3 JOEL I-IATHEWAY. ALEXANDER HENDERSON RUFUS P.

He continued forwarding editorials from the Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn. jerry, however, has not spent all his energy in journalism, but found time Freshman year to be sufiiciently Demosthenic to carry off first prize, and again second prize in the Moonlights, junior year. Hills was a member of the Sophomore promenade committee, manager of the Y. M. C. A. hand- book, and silent arbiter of the financial destinies .of the Ilfeakbf. He has frequently turned his literary ability to a practical use during his course, such as writing home for money, and Senior year in cap- turing a Graves essay prize. Jerryls fiancee has not yet decided his future career, but letters to 237 Broadway, New York City, will reach him until the cottage is completed. HOWE, Llewellyn Judson, Phi Beta Kappa, first evinced his intense interest in archaeology by delving among the broken pieces of his milk bottle August 6, 1878, in Troy, N. Y. Recogniz- ing the auspiciousness of his classic environment he disdained foreign climes, and returned nightly to the parental roof from the Troy High School. Howe since coming to Williams has devoted him- self assiduously to curriculum work and the refor- mation of Richards. Sophomore year he carried off first prize in Greek, and has always been a faithful worker in the Classical Society. He received a Commencement appointment.

He is a member of the Physics and Philosophical clubs. Hun is known far and wide as a great hunter, and the North Woods abound with tales of his encounters with ferocious furbearing animals. His address will be 35 Elk street, Albany, N. Y. THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. IRWIN, Stewart William, Phi Beta Kappa, was born in West Hebron, N. Y., on February 22, 1376. Since then the town has annually cele- brated the event. He received his early training at the West Hebron Union School, and came to college because he ff did n't know what else to do. During his course Irwin has devoted considerable time to the curriculum, paying especial attention to the department of English, and has received a Commencement appointment. He is a member of the Philologian Society and the Art Association. He intends to teach after studying in France. His address is uncertain. JANSEN, Romeyn Buckbee, Delta Kappa Episilon, Gargoyle, li. K. K. 13, made it possible for him to be voted the most popular man in '99 by beginning his existence February 27, 1877. in Fonda, N. Y. He prepared at the Amsterdam CN- Y-Q Academy. Jansen has been one of the Strongest athletic men in '99. He played on our Freshman baseball and football teams, and since Sophomore year has been with the 'Varsity base- ball team, where his wide bending curves and great headwork have brought honor to the college and thrills of pride to the admiring maids of Follflil. Jan was a member of the Sophomore promenade committee and at class day elections was chosen a marshal.

His future address will be Cor. Broadway and Prospect streets, Fonda, N. Y. JENKS, Leland Potter, was born in Wil- liamstown on November 20, 1875, and received his early education at the local High School. He early acquired a fondness for playing centre field on the old campus, and has held that position on the class baseball team for four years.

WHITEHEAD, Henry Clarence, Phi Beta Kappa, K. K. K. 13, greeted the inhabitants of Pompton Plains, N. I., Nov. 5, 1877. He made the Paterson Classical and Scientific School famous by treading its learned halls. Arriving at Williams he and his brother occasioned much labor to a wide circle of friends who desired to know which one of the combination was not the other. Harry secured a Rice Book prize and second prize in Mathematics, Sophomore year, and graduates with a Commencement appointment. Being of a scien- tilic turn of mind he has specialized along the line of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, and has been an active member of the Physics and Chem- istry clubs.

WHITELY, Arthur Lawrence, Delta Upsi- lon, smiled on the assembled multitude july 28, 1875, at Paterson, N. j. Finding the proboscis of the jersey mosquito too penetrating for his tender epidermis, he migrated westward and prepared at the High School of his adopted home. Evanston, Ill. Later when at Northwestern University, hear- ing the murmuring of l5olton's neckties, and allured by the sound, he came to Williams. His remarkable base running was immediately noted. and he was at once absorbed into the Banjo Club, with which he has been allied eversince. Whitely has also been treasurer of the renowned Chess Club. His duties as such have not allowed suffi- cient leisure for deciding on his future work, but he will probably study abroad. His future address will be 1813 I-Iinman Ave., Evanston, Ill. . WILDER, Edward Lyman, began consum- ing this life-giving air Nov. 3, 1875, in tl1e neigh- boring town of Hoosic Falls. He lirst showed his practical turn of mind by carving his name in his desk in the Hoosic Falls High School. Family associations brought him to Williams, where he has been a careful student. In view of his future work as an electrical engineer, Wilder has paid especial attention to the sciences, being a member of the Lyceum of Natural History, Physics Club, THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. and Art Association, besides being a loyal sup- PONCF of the Philologian Society.

The wind was hushed and the Graces sent a gentle rain to favor this blossoming flower of nature, which sprang into being in Troy, N. Y., on Aug. 18, 1877. Too tender to be transplanted, he learned his letters at the Troy High School. Sadly deploring his ina- bility to enter Smith, and learning that the moun- tain air favored capillary growth, with a suit case and that bubbling supply of wit he came to us. Here he has applied himselfclosely to books fwhen nothing else interfcredj, with the view of taking up the profession of teaching.

Once seated at her feet, familiar with her speech, and following deftly the line of her activities, we shall suffer no further dearth of knowledge. Ilenceforth we wander at will, where the works of the Lord are revealed. It is not thought alone that the World awakens: she quickens the perceptions, stirs the feelings, and puts the whole man H in act and use. Her instruc- tion is nurture, not teaching. She takes us to her- self, her daily execution and work, and makes us partakers in that vital and comprehensive process hy which the earth becolnes the Kingdom ot Heaven. We never follow the clue of her thought and find it shortly a broken thread in our hand. Out- ward, onward it leads us into inexhaustible store- houses of truth-not so much storehouses as work- shops of truth, where things and thoughts and actions are united in the coherent and eternal bonds of creation, workshops in which the prod- ucts of the hand, the commodities of the brain are woven by invisible forces, physical and spiritual, into the works of God. Whatever revelation comes to us is simply Hash- ing light on the World, till it stands disclosed to us 36 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. in its divine beauty. Here all knowledge and the knowledge of all are in fellowship, and play each its own part in the sum total of comprehension. God walks with us in the wakefulness of the niorn- ing, in the heavy labor of midday. and in the rest- fulness of the evening, the Garden of Eden all about us. This wisdom ofthe World-of which if we drink, but once we are Sybarites of the cup for- ever-lies nowhere more lightly on the surface, penetrates nowhere more deeply into the inner life of the spirit than in the ever-unfolding civic and social terms which bind men together in society. The injunction, H Know thyself, in widened into the injunction, HKnow men. Know the fello1v- ship of actions and thoughts which inhere in men. and which are waiting to break forth into tl1e con- summate flower of all civilization and faith. I especially congratutate myself upon my inter- course with the class of Ninety-nine along these lines of spiritual life, heaving with so many creative throes, and in which some lineaments of the King- dom of Heaven are emerging. If any of you, in any good degree, can come to understand the spiritual speech ofthe World, and take hold of its uplifting thought, henceforth you keep step with all creative processes, see their trend and share their promise. Fifty years lie between '49, when Williams college committed my class to the World, and I99, when it commits you to the same World, yet a World now much more pronounced in its rising, purging, and purifying light. The fifty years just closing have been one great procession of divine events. You and they pass into the next fifty years. Labors and victo- ries, fears and hopes, such as have never in the same measure fallen to men, go with you, ready to enter into your lives, if you can but be taught of the World, and take up its tasks, working with Him who works. jfohn lJ,!lSL'0llI.

THE BOOK OF THE CLASS OF When we look over the perspective ofa class his- tory at graduation time, we are prone to see only the more important and successful events of our, college course, and charitably pass over its fail- ures. Ninety- nine, since coming to college, has had a varied and not altogether satishtctory career, and yet, on the whole, the work it has done and the benefit that has accrued to the college therefrom, has been considerable and not unworthy of praise. It is true, the class has not held together very firmly as a corporate body, and the propensity of 'various crowds to work in different directions has weakened its effectiveness and power, but during its entire coul'se it has never shirked its duty nor failedin its obligations to the college or to the other classes. Naturally it is only during Senior year, when the guidance of college affairs is in its hands, that the real result ,of a class's work can be marked .and weighed, and so most of the noteworthy things that Ninety-nine has done have occurred during the past year. The class has undoubtedly made mistakes and failures. This article, however, is not supposed to treat of them, but is to enumerate only the noteworthy and important events oflts college course. In the early part of the year the much mooted question of the dissolution of the old triangular league was reopened, and the matter was finally settled by the formation of a new league with Amherst and Wesleyan, which has since proved highly successful. This matter was of the .most vital importance tothe college, and our old friends from Hanover have been replaced by more con- genial and quite as strong antagonists. For some time it looked as if our baseball. team would be seriously handicapped by the excluS10I1 of N1N15'rv-NINE. 37 NINETY-NINE. several strong players, owing to the severity of the faculty athletic rules. A Senior committee, however, waited upon the college governing body, and, notwithstanding the rebutls that tive previous classes had received in their endeavors to have the rule changed, managed to have our athletic regulations placed on an equal footing with those of other colleges. Two of our members have assisted a graduate in preparing a most excellent and greatly needed song-book, while three of our classmates have been more or less instrumental in editing the first book of stories the college has ever published, In religious circles, we have been active as a class, and it was through the untiring efforts of some of our more devout brothers, that the erec- tion of the much discussed Y. M. C. A. clubhouse was rendered possible. On the athletic Held, and in dramatic, tnusical, and literary lines, the class has been uniformly suc- cessful, and has materially raised the various under- graduate departments to the high position they now hold in the college world. The scholarship of the class has, from the very start, been of record calibre. We captured three out ofthe four honor scholarships offered in Sopho- more and junior years, and four out of Eve in Senior year. The honor system was adopted during our Freshman year, but our only connection with the measure was our almost unanimous approval of it at its formal adoption. Other classes have assuredly done more in the past, and succeeding classes will probably accom- plish greater things in the future, but Ninety-nine has done its best, and more than that no class can do-the coming years alone can decide the wisdom or error of our actions. Harder! H. Lehmruz. LITERATURE. The class of '99 has not been prominent as a-llt- erary class in any such degree as her lfllmedlale predecessor, still what work her members have done in the field of literary activity has been of 21 high order,-judgment being given, of course, ac- cording to the standards of college literature. A bare half dozen or so have borne the burden of writing for the Lzl. Indifference rather than lack of ability has been the probable cause of this de- plorable fewness. Conger was the first to presen 4 - - ticle. In the October L17. of '95 appears an effusion of his in verse, entitled A Paradox. UCSICICS being the first in the field, Conger has also the honor of being the most prominent and persistent supporter of the L12. in ,QQ 5 nineteenfiniallt 0fl11S contributions having been printed, inclucltnga story which took first prize in the contest of '96. 'Oak- man stands next in order of fecundity. -His ac- cepted efforts, mostly verse but including also t an acceptable -ar- several strong essays, number sixteen. Conger and Oakman made the L17. Sophomore year, the latter resigning from the Lffcekly staff to work in this more congenial field. Lehman, who has pro- duced nine articles, and Rice who has written seven, one of which was the second-prize story in '96, were elected to the 1117. board junior year, when Conger assumed the onerous office of chairman of the board. Barker with six articles, Foster with two, and Irwin with one, were other contributors to the Ld. from the Class. A high standard had been set for the lVacZ'fy by the Hstar board of '98, and if the '99 editors failed to maintain that high standard, it was not be- cause of lack of desire or effort. In Freshman year Bolton, I-lills, Oakman, Sherry, and Tinker were elected. In Sophomore year Oakman re- signed in favor of the LIZ. Upon Sherry fell the mantle of the directing editor. We can say that he performed his duties conscientiously. Bar- 38 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. ker and Foster have helped to keep Cob-webs bright. The Gul. of ,QQ was a publication somewhat above the average, though unfortunate in having birth after a paragon. The Iateness of its appear- ance is a point worth mentioning. By way of conclusion we can do no better than express our appreciation for the efforts of those who have represented the class in the college literary work, and especially ff Hank Conger, the strong literary man of the class, who was chosen from ,QQ to help write the H Williams Sketches. Conger was also a joint author of the successful farce, H The House-Party, and besides this helped out the Song-Book editors with -- The Purple Hills. E. I . Yhylor. DEBATING. ln the eyes of the outside world there is much importance attached to the interest and activity of debating in college. There were days in the somewhat remote past when debating was the peculiar and particular activity, on the part of the student body, outside of the regular curriculum work. Then came the great increase of athletic effort which has been so con- spicuous and fortunate among college activities of late years. For a time in our own college, athletic interests completely overpowered those of a forensic nature, but for four years past there has been a constant effort to revive what had been allowed to become a H lost art. ' It has been fortunate for '99 that this effort and its notable success have been coincident with its stay here, and, in turn, it has been fortunate for the college that our class. as a class, has been, in a large measure, responsible for the activities and suc- cesses of debating interests. The effect of the agitation for stronger debating in college has had its effect upon the faculty and trustees as well as upon the undergraduates. This is shown by the establishing ofa Junior elective for the study of brief-drawing and practice in debating as well. The problem to be met by the leaders of de- batingin college is the perfect cooperation of the two regular societies and the junior elective. In the elective the more technical training is given. In the 'Logian and 'Technian the greater freedom of speech and leadership are but two of many advan- tages. The intercollegiate representatives are chosen from these societies. That the college may entrust its creditable representation to the best men in the institution, it is necessary that each shall aid the other. The technical training should be had by the men who are gaining readiness of thought and speech while on their feet. On the other hand, men who have technique, forms and outlines, can gain much by the opportunities given in the socie- ties for practice. The coiiperation of these two developing forces means a bright future, both as to success in inter- collegiate contests and more especially in the supe- rior training which they give to the majority for effectiveness in after life. We have long felt the need of the advantages which are now ours. That such is the case cannot but reflect most creditably upon the part which '99 has had in bringing it about. That we have seen the possibil- ties of education improved and have done our full share to make this improvement possible, will al- ways be our thought when debating is mentioned. Zhu. M. .5'k1phera'. ATHLETICS. In glancing over the various teams which Will- iams has turned out during the past four years, we find Ninety-nine very well represented on all of them. Among the members of the 'Varsity base- ball nines we meet such familiar names as Ross, Reardon, and Jansen, while in the football lineups appear Phil Draper, Somoskeoy, Rutter, Branch, Eaton, and Cottrell. Goodbody, Whelan, Patter- son, Mason, Sam Brown, and Wood have all represented Williams in the track athletics, while as a tennis expert Goodbody has been most suc- cessful. Ross entered college very opportunely to fill the vacancy behind the bat caused by Draper's gradua- tion, and in doing backstop work for Lewis he showed of what excellent material he was made. His success as a catcher Sophomore year led to his election as a junior captain. , When reelected last spring, he resigned, and has been unable to play this season because of ill health, Reardon, who joined us junior year from George- town Univ., followed Ross as the head of the nine, and promises to turn out a good team. Jansen, the last of the trio who have proven to be 'Varsity material, has shown the college what good, steady, conscientious work can accomplish. Making his class team the latter part of Freshman year, he first came into prominence as a pitcher in the game against the Amherst Freshmen, but though the latter won, it was not due to any fault of the representatives of IQQ. Taken on the 'Var- sity Sophomore year, jansen rapidly developed, and last season proved one of the mainstays of the team. Ninety-nine furnished three men to the eleven Freshman year,-Draper, Somoskeiiy, and Rutter. The first two were legacies left us by '98, and their work, especially that of Phil Draper, has gained them enviable reputations in the football world. Rutter has played on the team four years at end THE BOOK OF and has proved a valuable man. Sophomore year Branch joined us, coming from Harvard, and he soon showed his worth on the gridiron. His reward for his steady playing was the captaincy ?nd in this position he turned out an excellent team rom very poor material. Eaton in the line and Cottrell behind it have both well earned their H W.

In tennis, Goodbody and Perry, '98, have been NINETY-NINE. 39 the winning combination, and the efforts of these two men have brought the last two championships to us. Now that Perry has departed, the chief responsibility of maintaining the long succession of victories in this sport will Gall to Goodbody. In the interclass contests, 199 has not been very successful on the gridiron and the track, but when we look at her record on the diamond we may indeed congratulate ourselves. Though unable to capture the cup Freshman year, the past two seasons have proven our supremacyg and with the emblem twice secured, the team should certainly make a good showing this year. lzlizurzrcl lr.

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. flfrom the Williams Literary Monthly.j As one who, coming from a darkened place Iwnto full daylight, dazzled by the glare, Sees nothing of the beauty that is there, But Only lurid spots that whirl and race, Andstands a moment with bewildered face Till the mists vanish, and the landscape fair Appears in all its glorious splendor rare Where sun and wavering shadow intcrlace 5 RELIGIOUS It is always difficult to sum up the influence, the ftdvantages, and the disadvantages of an organiza- UOH-. The enthusiast upholds an effort by looking for the most part at the good accomplished, while the critic usually views with t-scornful eye from the ground, that to be good, a thing must be with- out fault. It is certainly true that college is not, and never can be, an ideally religious community. This must be so from the very fact that these years are forma- five: and the softening and deepening influence of longer life alone brings out that fulness and earn- estness of thought and purpose which are insepara- ble with a true religious spiritf fhe only organized effort in the religious life of the .college is made by the Mills' Young Men's Christian Association, and a brief reference to its work during the past year may not be out of place. For the'past two years there has been a more SYSfEmatic effort along the line of Bible study, under student leadership,--all save the Freshmen being led by men of their own class. Thus there are four Bible classes meeting regularly Sunday morning. The total number enrolled this year in these classes is about one hundred. In the spring term, these classes are consolidated into a single class for the study of missions, under the direction of the missionary committee. .The benefit derived from listening to and talking with such men as Mr. Sayford, Robert Speer, Dr. Hall, and Dr. Gordon is one of those helps which one can never estimate accurately.

N TERESTS. it to say that it is more lasting and truly helpful than one can readily calculate. This year has also seen thc success and comple- tion ofthe effort to obtain a 510,000 sustentation fund for the new building. Such a building on the campus may mean much to the social and religious life of the college. It has been in view of the best interests of the college and the spirit which dominates the life here, that this undertaking was started, and has been successfully completed. Perhaps the most far-reaching way-to those outside our college walls-in which the Association serves to make the college favorably known, is at the early summer conference held at Northfield each year. For several years our representation has been increasingly large. Last year twenty- three Williams men were there, and furnished the third largest delegation in attendance. Nearly all the colleges and preparatory schools of the East are represented. For the individual, it is a unique experience, and seldom fails of giving a true spirit of consecration and earnestness of purpose: In the past, Williams has been known for her gentlemen, this, one often hears given as her dis- tinctive characteristic, and of this every man in college is, and may well be, proud. That such a spiritis inseparable from a high and broad religious instinct needs no proof. A large percentage of Williams men come to college with this high ideal. For its maintenance and increase, the Association exists. g Yhco. M. Shzfherri. 40 YVILLIAMS COLLEGE. MUSIC. Williams has always been famous for her songs. Surrounded by beautiful mountains on all sides, and sheltered by their protecting heights, Williams has truly an atmosphere where music seems especi- ally appropriate. Dr. Washington Giadden was so inspired by these influences that, while in col- lege, he composed that characteristic song, ff The Mountains, which, from his time to the present, has been considered one of the favorite songs of the college. lt is quite interesting, in this connec- tion, to note that H The Mountains, appearing in the year 1859, was the first college song whose words and music were written by a college under- graduate in this country. Our class, in its voting for the favorite song, has decided in favor of H The Mountains. receiving twenty-eight votes, f'The Royal Purple, and H 'Neath the Shadow of the Hills being tied for second choice, with sixteen votes each. It is a source of pride that we have so many good songs, and, above all, that they have been written by Williams men. The fact is becoming more true every year that one of the first duties of an undergraduate of Wil- liams is to become acquainted with her songs, There is nothing which binds a graduate to his Alma Mater more closely than to be able to sing over the old songs, when a company of the fellows are gathered together, either at an alumni dinner or at some club, or at home quietly by himself, strumming a low accompaniment upon the guitar. Although The Mountains wins the vote, there are some other choices deserving of brief mention. Comstock has a special fondness for The Drinking Song, and Eaton's choice is, We are, We are the Williams Y. M. C. A. 1'atterson's and Sloper's favorites are, Good- Night, Ladies, and '-Come, Give Us a Drink, and Eddie May says, H Hurrah for Mary. Ninety-nine has an abundance of musicians in her class. Three play the violin g six, the mando- lin, and nine the piano, but this does not nearly represent the diversity of instruments performed upon. Grannis plays the hose, and Wood the steam Calliope. Packard claims to be an expert on the violin, but his South college friends say that he has another guess. joey Hall asserts that music is to be found 'fln the Tinkling of the Chips, while the versatile Woody also claims to play on H Dutchy's feelings. Naturally, in discussing musical affairs, we turn to the Glee, Mandolin and Banjo Clubs, as the organizations in which we expect to find all musical interest centred. During our course, the clubs have been fairly good, but not remarkable, in their success. Many short trips have been taken, but no extended tour has ever materialized, in spite of the yearly rumor of our H Easter tour to Old Point Comfort. We have furnished twelve men to the three clubs, and no small credit is due our two leaders, Messrs. Fitts and Rossiter, for their efforts to produce good results. It should be noted that it is not Baldwin's fault that he is not of our number. The college choir, which has always received moreor less criticism, has been conducted very creditably this year under the leadership of Foster. During the four years, four members ofthe the class have sung in the choir, not counting E. G. Rowland, who resigned to make the Glee Club. In looking back over our course there is a feel- ing that an advance has been accomplished, in the musical line, in that more interest is manifest in college sings, and in learning the typical songs. There is no reason, with the spring upon ns, why the college sing, so nftmous in the past, should not be restored to its previous position. Ninety- nine has furnished one new song to our already extensive list. The -'Purple Hills, written by H. R. Conger, stands fourth on the list for favorite song, and is destined to become very popular. . H. C. Yiyflar. DRAMATICS. On looking over the records we find that since 1868 occasional plays have been given by Wil- liams students, It is only within the past two years, however, that the dramatic interests of the college have been centered in one organiza- tion,-Cap and Bells. The club, since '99 has been in college, has presented seven plays as fol- lows: In '97, H The Rivals and H The Two Buz- zards , in '98, H The House-Party, by Ketchum, '98, and Conger, '99, For One Night Only , in '98-'99, H Cicely's Cavalier, H A Cyclone for a Cent, and She Stoops to Conquer. Of these, The Rivals, H For One Night Only and H She Stoops to Conquer, have been presented in some of the nearby- cities, H She Stoops to Conquer being carried as far west as Auburn, N. Y. Dur- ing the past winter the club has, in connection with the Glee Club, given a very entertaining milnistrel show, which has been repeated in' Pitts- fie d. The members from '99 on the club are: Falck, Grannis, jones, Lehman, Oakman, Stearns, and Whelan. They have all, with the exception of Falck, who is the business manager, taken parts in the different plays, and much credit is due to them for their earnest work and the willing spirit which they have shown. With these men gone the club will be greatly weakened, but it will have been placed on a firm footing. The performances have, as a rule, gone off very smoothly, although now and then, when some more or less ludicrous slip occurred, it seemed merely to add to the enjoyment of the audience. The members of Cap and Bells are in a position to best appreciate the kindness and assistance of McGregor jenkins, CX-'90, in coaching us and he deserves our sincere thanks. We leave Cap and Bell not without regret, and shall always retain the most pleasant recollections of our dramatic careers. Y. H. Slvarns. THIS BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. 41 POLITICS. Fifty-one men are Republicans, there are seven Democrats. and three Gold-Democrats, the Inde- lielidents number eight, the Prohibitionists, two. I attison, Lehman, Sears, and H.

Gilman claims that he is always ft with those in power, but will never vote for Grannis.

THE BALLOT BOX. MOST POPULAR MAN. .lansen wins easy with twenty-two votes. Branch and Bolton divide honors for second place, with fourteen votes. Butler, Lehman, and Shipherd debate the subject with three votes apiece. Falck, Rutter, and Tinker, by liberally hanging up WO, have secured two each. Reardon, Conger, Sargent, Hall, Stearns, Ross, I-Ienderson, Moffett, Watson, and Whelan have one each. BR IGll'1'liS'l'. Andrews is voted as possessed of the most lumi- nosity, with sixteen votes. Our valedictorian has thirteen, and Barker is voted as a shining light with ten. E. F. Taylor with eight makes Wildey cast a shadow, since the latter has six, XVildey, however, throws kerosene at Hatheway. who has four. Conger and Oakman are three candle Power. Brookfield twinkles in the distance with two. Eleven others receive one apiece. WHO HAS DONE MUST FOR WILLIAMS? Branch leads with twenty-three. Tinker has seventeen and Lehman thirteen. Shipherd's new Clubhouse has won the hearts of eight friends, while Butler follows with three. Ross, Davidson, and Vrooman receive two each. Rutter and Sherry R..-'Kilt with Hibbard for recognition with one apiece. BEST NATURED MAN. The saccharine disposition of Gilman with fif- teen votes beats the Sing Sing cherub, Grannis, who has a dozen. jansen and the son of Erin are tied with nine apiece. Sam Brown and Falck shake hands, with four each. Dutch, Beattie, and Reardon have two each. Then follow with one vote nineteen men with tempers varying from the irritability of Sloper and the calm Christian humility of Comstock, to the cyclone blustering of Eaton and the sun-kissed soul of Bolton. IIANDSOME MAN. The fuzzy beard of Watson captured a baker's dozen and the prize mirror. fHe recommends Dr. Dabb's rouge.j Fitts, without adornments, has eight. Branch, in spite of his gray hairs, received six. Butler and Gilman, with four apiece, have appealed to an art critic for decision. Bolton, Doughty, Goodbody, Moffett, and Vary, by the aid of cosmetics, have gained three apiece. Carr, Johnston, Rowland, Wilder, and Hall received two each. Hall, however, is disqualified for importing Doogan to set oft' his charms by contrast. Fourteen others, including the fair-skinned Ike, receive one each. ' CLASS BEAUTY. That paragon of beauty and quintessence of the aesthetic, Kelly Trowbridge, is in a class by him- self with sixty-two votes. S. Brown, with three, dares to question his right. Gilman, also, with variegated beard, demands recognition with twg votes, but equalled by jones, Moffett, Richards, Hills, Hall, and H Doogan, Ansley, Baker, Rice, Keeler, Oakman, Wood, and Hibbard have one vote each. GREATEST socIAI. LIGHT. Rutter, so favored by nature, leads easily with eighteen votes, joiner's influence has won him twelve. The Hinimitable White is third with nine. The Lion of Lansingburgh ties Rush- more for fourth place with four votes. Three men 42 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. have noted the aspirations of Moffett, who is tied with Rossiter. Beattie, Brookfield, Conger, Grannis, Hall, Hibbard, Packard, and Rawcliffe, the Dictator of Billville, all have two votes. BEST DRESSFID M AN . Bolton's immaculate linen and H l'. J.'s latest are easy winners with twenty votes. Sixteen men would award Rushmore the prize picture of Lord Fauntleroy. Hall has nine votes. Vary's golfies are tied with May in a sweater at three votes. The field of remnants is large. F. L. Brown thinks the man with the largest tailor's bill should win. Moffett, however, receives only one vote. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEEIJ. Sixteen men bet on Branch, nine on Tinker, seven on Lehman, while Shipherd pulls four votes. Regarding the rest of the votes, there seems to be a rather wide diversity of opinion, since twenty- three men receive one vote each. The true sage is he who voices the sentiment, The whole push. MOST v12itsA'1'1r.E. Again those venerable white locks wear the crown and the laurel leaves befit the Branch. This time he is eight votes ahead of Lelunan who has sixteen. Goodbody receives six votes and Stearns tive. F. Taylor has four votes and Comstock three. Eleven others are named. MOST TO BE- ADMIRIZD. Comstock is first with eighteen votes, but it must be remembered that he has to be in chapel early anyway. Shipherd has the unalloyed admira- tion of ten men, beating Sherry by four votes. Falck, Foster, and Jansen have three apiece. Brookfield, Carr, Lehman, Moffett, Richards, and White two each. Eleven others are named. CLASS CUP. Watson leads off with ten votes, followed close by Keeler with seven. Beattie, Jenks, and Sears tie for third place with tive apiece. Jenks and Sears, however, are disqualified for voting for themselves. Johnston and Sloper pull four each, Branch and Sherry three apiece. The rest are scattering. GRIND. F. L. Brown wins with seventeen. Davidson with eleven is closely followed by Billetdoux with ten. Hatheway and Johnston pull eight apiece, Irwin and E. If. Taylor five each. Brookfield divides honors with Howe at three. Bruno has two. Foster, out of respect for Phi Beta Kappa, admits his weakness and votes for himself. BLUFFER. That unprecedented nerve of Bolton's deservedly receives nineteen. Branch and Barker, from sit- ting near him, have profited by his tutoring and divide honors for second place with seven apiece. Whelan has tive, Rutter four, Shipherd and Keeler three each. Eaton, Conger, Hall, and Hibbard score two apiece. H Lehman at poker has one. BOOTLICK. Rutter carries off the prize shoe with thirty votes. Moffett, aided by slippery elm drops, follows with nine. Rea pulls in at the finish one ahead of Bruno, who receives six from the South college constituency. Jones and Hibbard have five each, Hills four, Whelan three, and Wilder two. Wildey is stigmatized incorrigible, inveterate, and inspired. WITTIEST. Wildey, with his inexhaustible supply, pulls nineteen votes, Barker is second with fifteen, and the HPride of Lansingburg and West college dashes in third with twelve, closely followed by Conger, with his Hcantelope stride, with ten. Howe's bright sayings, give him five. Hibbard and Whitely walk in with two. Gilman, Pattison, Oakman, Eaton, Hall, Grannis, and both Taylors are remembered by their friends with one apiece. KING OF THE CHIPS. The result of this ballot is somewhat confused owing to the prevalent misconception thattit is fair to vote for yourself. Nevertheless Hall wins out by ten over Sherry, whose shark teeth have bled thirteen men. Goodbody, who receives eight votes, surrenders the palm to Hall, thereby making the decision unquestionable were it not for the fact that Hall votes for Goodbody. Bruno, again backed by the south college cohorts, beats Ship- herd and Watson who stand pat, with three votes. Comstock gets two votes, probably through his ability to draw. Joiner and White are remem- bered. FAVORITE wRITERs. Longfellow with seventeen votes beats Oakman and Tennyson who are tied at eleven, as favorite poet. They should not feel sad, however, as Conger beats Kipling by two votes. Kipling with tive votes follows close on Dickens for favorite prose writer. Hawthorne and Thackeray have four votes, while N. B. Sherry, McCaulay, and Scott are in the satne class with three votes each. Mark Twain, Conger, and Lehman shake hands with two apiece. Twenty-seven other celebrated au- thors receive one each. sntoklz AND FlZZ.,' Forty-eight men smoke. twenty-one announce a distaste for the filthy weed, while several are non- committal. Old gold is the favorite, with thirteen votes, while Fitts's popularity has gained eleven votes for Handsome Dan. Wood favors other people's mixtures. Seventeen men including Eaton and Keeler still declare their love for water. fN. B., Sherry receives twelve votes. Gilman's favorite drink is suds, Joiner favors molasses. Kellogg says ftthey all look alike to me, and Grannis claims he does n't drink. Barker has forgotten his tlavorite, but thinks it is 4' tin roof cocktails. THE BOOK OF THE YEARS. The worriments of f'Soc's Selections and FitC'S D- composition have caused thirty-eight men to vote Freshman year the hardest and most disagreeable. Four of the sharks call it the easiest, and six men say it was the pleasantest. junior year was easiest to fifty-four men, while nineteen found Senior year most conducive to loaf- lng- That life as an upper classman is more ideal than during the first two years is proven by a vote of fifty-nine to sixteen, Senior year receiving thirty-two, the greatest number of votes for most pleasant year. ,I-IARDEST REQUIRED SUBJECT. Reminiscences of flunks in Lefty caused twenty-one men to vote for Physics. That un- speakable Freshman French with thirteen votes beats Lysias with its poor trot byjust one vote. Mathematics receives eight votes. Various Hunks cast their shadows by polling one or two votes. MOST VA LUABLE STUDY. The H Grand Old Man doubles Leffyls Physics which received thirteen votes. English received nine votes, mathematics four and German three. Gym, oratory, and voice culture divide honors with one apiece. LICENSE IN lm.i.vn.l.E. The W. C. T. U. would have reason to despair ifthe question of license depended on the class, but the right has conquered, probably owing to the announcement that Shipherd and Sherry's new club house will have 1- a good cellar. The vote was thirty-one against and twenty-seven in favor of license. Some sage remarks are: H It would save Laliberte trouble. ffNot till the exit of 'oo. H It would increase list of f sometime memhers. ' U Ask Brookneldj' Gilman does n't care, and NINETY-NINE. 43 Rowland says, ff Wait till Beattie is out of harm's way. voTEs ON THE I-n01fEssous.

Our favorite of the kid faculty is Professor Mil- ham who receives forty votes. Dr. Hancock is next with six, Dr. Mather and Mr. Scott have five, Mr. Moenkhaus three, Mr. Huntington two, while Professor Maxcy and Dr. Walworth have one vote each. President Carter has twenty votes for the best teacher, while Dr. Lefavour is a close second with eighteen. Professors Goodrich, Milham, Wood- bridge, Mears, and Wild follow as named. Dr. Bascom is voted the brightest professor, with eighteen votes. Professor Milham is second with ten, while Professors Wahl and Lefavour have seven votes. President Carter, Professors Russell, Rice, Morton, and Wild receive five votes each. Dr. Clarke is easily the most polished according to the votes of forty-seven men. Professor Hewitt has seventeen. Professors Morton, Carter, Spring, and Fernald follow in order.. According to fifteen men, Professor Wahl is the pleasantest professor. Professor Rice is next with thirteen, Professor Spring has eleven, and Professor Russell eight. Professors Hewitt, Mears, Wild, Clarke, Carter, Milham, and LCf1lV0llI' come next, as named. Twenty-four men vote that Professor Lefavour rattled them the most. Professor Fernald has twenty votes, President Carter six, and Professor Wahl two. Branch and S.

SOPI-IOMORE CLASS POEM. fRead by lleury R. Conger at the Sophomore Banquet.1 Well fellows! here we are again about the table met, To feast and thank our stars that we are '99 men yet. Though many members of our band have fallen by the way Who gathered in the Worden's halls a year ago to- day, Time brings its changes, and I fear the catalogue will show ' There 'e fewer of us now than when we met a year ago. For some have gone to other scenes, it pains me to relate, , And some have dropped to naughty-nought, how bitter is their tate! Fred Carpenter is gone from us, Ifear he'll not come back, And Derby, T. D. Henderson, Maynard, and Clif- ford Black. O Clifford dear, to think that you will feast with us no more! Why went you forth that fatal night when Seeley pulled for shore? Hard is the path of college life, and few there are ascend And grasp the laurel-decked degree that waits us at the end. Yet struggle on courageously, and be ye not dis- mayed, Though H Soc., and Leverett Mears himself against you are arrayed. For though theychuck an awful bluff, 't is little they can do. just simply keep a cast-iron nerve and it will pull you through. But on the whole it seems to me that things are not so bad, There 's very little reason, after all, for being sad. For though the loss of all our friends is very hard indeed, Yet still a goodly company is gathered here to feed. H Bye Henderson is with us still, Iilll very glad to say, And Trowbridge, too, whose smoking is the won- der of the day. 'fjack Gilman, Barker, Hoster too, of short and dumpy limb. And Ii. G. Rowland, I must not forget to mention him. Burt Sherry too is here, I'm sure that him we we could not spare, And, also, mighty johnny Hun, the hunter of the bear. While listening with a gapping smile that almost splits his head, The angular H Max 'l Rutter sits with hair oflurid red. So let us feast, and thank the fates that rule the sons of men, That Milliams's analytics we will never take again, That we have flunked our last exam. in Mearsie's Chemistry, That -' Dicky Rice's history class we never more shall see.

WlLI.IAMS'I'OWN!! shouted the Fitchburg conductor as the train stopped with a jolt that shifted the piles of dust on the floor of the car. NVinthrop Alden grasped his painfully new suit case, and, with a curious sinking sensa- tion somewhere inside of him, stepped from the train to the platform of the dingy station, that lounged beside the track in all the shabbiuess of its disreputable old age, in the year of our 1895. As Winthrop hesitated, not quite knowing to do next, a clamorous mob poured from the rapidly filled all the hacks, and rolled off in a cloud of dust before he had mustered up courage to in- quire the way to the college from the provident I-Ii NValden, who was as usual in evidence. After concluding a contract with that wily truck- man to carry his trunk to the hotel, and paying him the dollar which I-Ii assured him was the reg- ular price, Alden started on his long dusty walk to the Greylock, and, having at length arrived there very hot and sticky, passed blushing between the groups of staring upper-classmen on the piazza, registered, and was shown to his room. College did not begin until next day, so he employed the afternoon in inspecting his room, which an anxious correspondence with Iibbie had secured the previous spring. He met his room- mate for the first time, and they bought some fur- niture at Hopkins' and did their best to put their quarters in some sort of shape. While thus em- ployed a Senior dropped in, made a few remarks on the beauty of the surrounding scenery, and asked the pair to dinner. Although somewhat surprised, they thought it best to accept and received an ex- Lord what CZIYS, Perhaps their judgment 's over hard But, still, we must allow We have n't hung together much g Let 's hang together now!

They were flattered and made much of until Alden began to believe that these very polite people con- sidered him of great importance. Subsequently, however, he discovered his mistake. Next morning he went to his first chapel, and listened to Soc's annual dissertation on the intri- cacies of the bell and the rights of Freshmen. I-Iere he met some of his class: Ben Bolton who was not then so intimately acquainted with H P. J. as he has since become, Barker fresh from his native l'itts6eldg Bye Henderson even then re- markable for his unfailing good natureg and others of note, some of whom have since left us, After this Alden employed himself in studying for his first recitations, and reducing the chaos of his room to something like order. In the afternoon he watched the 'Varsity practice on Weston Field. Here he observed Rutter and the f' Count -- tumbling merrily about, and reflected with a pang of envy that they would probably make the team. That evening two Seniors came to his room and asked for, received, and departed with a subscrip- tion to the football team. While he was still busy recovering from the shock of this visit, he heard the tread of many feet ascending the stairs, fol- lowed by a Ninety-eight yell and a thunderous knock upon the door. In response to his timid -'Come in, there entered a large proportion of the Sophomore class led by Perry and Bill Quinn, who addressed Winthrop and his room-mate with thcetious politeness and only left when their powers of impromptu entertainment were exhausted. After the first week the term passed quickly enough. Alden survived the excitement of the THE BOOK OF Sophomore-Freshman ball game without permanent mlury- He gazed with delight and awe on the mighty men in Ninety-six, Irish, Simmons, Doc Mitchell, D. G. Smith, and a host of others who are now but far off memories to Ninety-nine, and names, or less than names, to the rest of the col- lege- He saw Phil Draper kick the goal from the field in the Dartmouth game while the cheering roared along the side lines. He climbed Greylock In orthodox fashion and got Dean's notices and D minus's. He attended Freshman revels in Hellis Entry where Jansen and johnny Hun held Carnival, and stacked each others' rooms on an average of twice a month. Almost before he knew it the serni-annuals were llD0n him, and he retired from the world for two laborious weeks. Soon he was home on his first Christmas vacation, lording it at his ff prep. school HS il college man. and noticing with satisfaction that his family no longer protested against his smoking. Then came the anxiously opened letter from Williamstown. that left him free to return to college with no conditions and only a r6aS0f12lllC amount of extra work. , ' Winter term passed pleasantly but uneventfully. Tllere were ffaps in the ranks of Ninety-nine, for bu the examinations had -made sad havoc with the , . Original one hundred and thirty-five: and-if T' l ete- liurr had fulfilled half his threats.

The chapel bell was in frequent use that year, for the 'Varsity won everything in sight. Also the I. O. D. contrived to keep things stirred up with its celebrations. and publications. On the whole, it was an exceedingly lively spring term. . Alden enjoyed it all, even the morning after Hi juvenesf' when he-beheld the chase and cap- ture of Grannis by llilly Lockwood. and saw Sam llrown head the procession of animal-bearing Freshmen with a stuffed bird perched on hrs hand.

The finals safely passed, Alden departed to Sara- toga, where Fred Carpender presided over Ninety- nine's Freshman supper. The Worden was kept awake that night, and various barbers and mer- chants ofthe town wrote a full account of the gaiety to Dr. Carter, which may still be read by all having access to that gentleman's private correspondence. lt was at four o'clock the next morning, while he was placing one of the captured signs over the entrance to the hash house, that Winthrop Alden realized, with something between reliefand regret, that his Freshman year was over. llemy lr'. Cmrqvr. SOPHOMORE YEAR. The belief of his parents in the desirability ofa higher education and his own taste for the happy, irresponsible days of college had once more turned Alden loose upon Williamstown. HP. J. had replaced the rough outlines of some rural tailor with garments of more graceful cut, and as Alden stood with becoming indifference on the Morgan hall steps, one could see that the long summer months had given him an admirable grace in the manipulation of a huge briar which drooped over his chin. The smoke from this furnace added per- ceptibly to the dreamy haze of Indian summer, and tinged the distant hills with a deeper purple. With Alden all was peace. He had passed an extra work exam. under the inexorable Morton, and was once more entitled to all the privileges accruing to a member of the college. just now he was exercising to its fullest extent his Sophomoric prerogative by staring blankly at all new faces on Spring street, yelling cordially be- times at Watson and H Hi, and even waving his hand, under his ear with the palm uppermost, at Garabed Azhderian. The physical geography of the town did not appear to have changed greatly from a year before, n Alden and his classmates had made their first appearance- an event so fraught with interest for the college. A cloud of dust-johnnie's street- sprinkling ideas were then embryonic-which ob- scured Griffin and Goodrich halls, was being raised by the passage of the mail carriage from the depot -etiquette alone could bestow such a name on that H rude, unpainted shack, which had given wlre Alden his first pang of hornesickncss the previous' autumn. HThc college burldrngs never change a bit, thought he. except, of course, when the supply of brown paint is greater than the demand, liast and West appear in fresh finery, and the carpenter occasionally replaces a window in Morgan or a seat in Hopkins, but llillville changes A very little, though they may put it on the map some day. lt's the men that change. We've seen the last of 58 WVILLIAMS some corking fellows in our class. Hang it! I wonder ifthey think that importing this naughty- nought aggregation of flamboyant verdancy is go- ing to make up for the loss of Abe, H Len, jess, jim liirge, and Freddie Carpenter? Thank Heaven. Clif, 'f lJubs, Al, Van, and Ris are still in col- legell' Alden, oblivious of the fact that he had been similarly H imported a year before, was engaged in such thoughts as these when I.ehman's gang emerged from l-lell's entry and abducted him in the direction of Weston field. Milham had prog- nosticated rain on this the day for the baseball game between the lower classes, and Casper had predicted that the Freshmen would win. So the sun and the game came out gloriously for Alden! There was the usual rushing and horse- play, with several members of the Faculty safely caged behind the poultry netting of the grand stand, upper classmen urging on and quelling the rush. an exhibition of Rea's fatal altitude and Richard's obsequious ways. Alden returned to his room with rejuvenated class spirit. He was much too tired to study Physics after supper, so he went over to Cottie's room and found a gang at the jab-jab, into which he threw himself lulstily. -' Kelley T. spurred on the meeting, and it was n't very long before the gang. headed byHtlrove. l':f1i1,7 '-Iilllfiilllfl oth- ers, started out to call on the tender Fresh. To Alden, at this day, the idea of some twenty stu- dents starting out to bother a few harmless youths seems, undoubtedly, the height of folly. llut he liked it tlien,--lleaven bless those happy days l- ancl many evenings were spent in this recreation, to the exasperation of Dumphrey. Mountain day came along, and Alden drove over to llennington with some other congenial spirits. They refused to buy any souvenirs of the natives,-liennington is a historic spot-and rc- turned home as sober as owls on a toot. This is a Sophomore story, and in places it is exagger- ated. The It-Ifeclbf had been so discouraging that Alden refrained from betting on the football team, but to this day he recalls with pride that in his Sophomore year we defeated Wesleyan 6-o. In recent years he has had to! He followed the team to Albany, and witnessed with enthusiasm a vic- tory over Syracuse. On this trip he again became acquainted with l3reese's and Kee-ler's, and ig well, Alden had not made an infrangible contract to pave a portion of the lower regions with his good intentions. He had a few left. llut he was having a very fair time. In the folly of his youth he considered this not unbecoming a Sophomore. Football was a part of his existence. He watched the daily practice faithfully, and was highly pleased at the victories ofthe beginning of the season. The worst was yet to come. The morning of November 7th dawned clear and crisp. There was an air of concern-not unmixed with conlidence--throughout college. 'I'he Amherst team came, and the game began. The pride of the county was gathered about the gridiron. but in spite of frantic cheering the Williams backs COLLEGE. fumbled time and time again, and the first half ended: Williams o, Amherst 6. Then Denman broke away from the bunch and scored a touch- down. tf So-and-so missed goal, the paper said the next morning, with journalistic coolness. But at the time the tate that was behind that unlucky kick was eternally damned. The language used on this occasion is historic--- none could help it- but it must be recorded in another tale than this. Other years have passed since then, and other Amherst games have been lost, but the peculiar depression of that evening is fresh in Aldenls mem- ory-it is overwhelming. . After this defeat by Amherst, it was compara- tively comfortable to have Dartmouth's strong eleven win from us, 10 to o, and a tie game with Cornell was the redeeming feature of the 'Varsity season. . The customary muddy day arrived, and '99 was beaten by the Freshmen, IO to o. This lustoric 26th of November plunged Alden into deep de- spair. 'I'hat night he wearied the strong horse of H Billy and the strong arm of ff jerry 'l Upton, at the expense of a subsequent absence from morning rc-citations. All this time his wicked friends in New Haven were writing to ask if he had been potting much, and telling of metropolitan gaieties. Poor Alden, stranded in a rural distict, could not effec- tively reply. He therefore decided on a trip to New York and back by New Haven. We have all known those delightful excursions and their charm- ing incidents. To each of us they have peculiar memories, and he who reads may make his own Alden's. Alden's are his own. His diary of this fall term, had he kept one, would have contained some allusions to an art lecture on H Mural Decorations of Monasteriesf' Hunks in Latin, German, Physics, Greek and Analyt. He might have mentioned happy days in Dutchy or a nap and expulsion from one of Leffie's lectures. A fearful struggle with exams. brought him to the gay and attractive haven of the Christmas holidays. . A vacation passes quickly when one has a good time and extra work, and Alden returned with a set of New Year resolutions which set him to work industriously. Winter term is the season for Alumni dinners and Thompson entertainments, debates and prayer-meetings. Into all of these Alden entered according to his inclination and ability, reserving more time for his studies than ever before. '-LetTy and Mears, respectively, exasperated and amused him, and he ate ice cream at Spoop's. Williamstown was wrapped in the robe dc mn? of winter, sleeping peacefully. From this slum- ber it was occasionally, and only occasionally, aroused. The boys with funny caps organ. ized, and the subsequent Prom. and Gul. elec- tions were a revelation The Day of Prayer was variously celebrated, and St. l'atrick's day drew near. The parade and bonfire were warlike and picturesque: Dutch and others could not be restrained from rushing at the impudent translucencies. Leary's eloquence struck home. T H E BOOK OF There was a game of bock in Morgan hall that night, and the odor of ancient hops is still preva- lent in certain localities. A dozen Seniors tried to push in the door and they could n't-bCCallS6 H Bump 'i and Eat H and H Ben and -4 Bill were up against it. At last they were admitted, and songs rent the welkin. Through the evenings of these winter days Alden had been studying. So had johnston, Sherry, jones, F. Taylor, F. L. Brown, Billetdoux, and some more. They are studying yet, but the arrival of spring term soon put an end to Alden's,labors. The polished and attenuated Sammy had given a lecture on the H !llIlIdl'l2'll.S' fEl'?'lf.l'll'IiS','l and Alden was seated drowsily on the fence. Spring had again clothed the world in splendor and filled the inhabitants thereof with a sense of ease. Alden observed little knots of fellows lolling beneath the budding trees. Comstock alone wore an expression of pain, he was unraveling the knotty questions of apperception and the fourth dimension-with ill success. Gilman, Goodbody. Grannis, and Hall were seated in alpli2llDCliC21l order on the Lab. steps, awaiting the trouble they were too lazy to seek. The imposing figure of Sam llrown streaked the horizon. In the direction of Spring street Alden could hearthe urchins splashing through the mud after pennies, and Proctor's bugle echoing through the valley. Two months more ofthis, thought Alden, and' he lit his pipe. More laborious ideas were beyond lum- May day came and then the first Amherst game, a victory which Alden and his pals celebrated roy- ally. innumerable ball games killed the long spring afternoons. Dutch and his followers won the class series for l99. Hallis Prom. and U10 attendant festivities were perfect-though many, and the committee especially. complained that their grouches outlasted their money. The work uf'the college, which had been on the decline ever since Iiaster, now collapsed entirely. Spring term,had slipped by before any one knew it. A peculiarly uncongenial class supper at the Greylock disgusted Alden and gave him serious thoughts on chqulsh- ness, which were soon drowned--in the general exultation over another baseball championship for the purple. Alden helped haul the team up Con- sumption hill and hung breathless on the speeches of the nine heroes. The stirring words of one pleased-him especially, I hope next year we ll have lots of men out-and lots of games-and- yn have lots-of sport Alden hoped so too.

NINIQTY-NINE. SQ JUNIOR YEAR. H Dolrcfar 71I2'II1L'.l, It was with a feeling of satisfaction that Alden returned to college in September. He had always looked forward to junior year as a sort of relaxa- tion in the midst of the course-a calm before the final effort is put forth. He expected to have time to do a lot of timings that had been put off from year to year but which must be done before gradua- tion, if at all. There was no longer a host of minor affairs to draw away his attention. He had, of course, outgrown the accusation of freshness and had gladly delivered up the important office of ac- cusor to the class of 'oo. At last he was thor- oughly at home, independent, and contented. He knew who his friends were and could smoke his pipe in peace. Occasionally, it is true, he was destined to bea little disappointed, though not unpleasantly, for the Seniors expected him to ease their burden of responsibility now and again that they might dip once more into the H happy-go- luckyness of the 'f golden age before finally be- coming confirmed H Olympians, Alden took a cer- tain pleasure, too, in giving offhand advice to his little friends, who appealed to him for help rather than to the more formidable Seniors. In short he believed, without being in the least sense a Spiritualist, that junior year is what might be called a happy medium. Among the things he had neglected and now be- gan to indulge in was the great pleasure to be de- rived from long walks or rides through the hills. At the beginning of the term the H gang got together and on a warm moonlight night drove to l'aradise's for a fish supper. It was a grand old time H with the stein on the table and a good song in the air, and he never before realized how much he cared for some 'of the fellows in the -fgangl' or how sorry he would be when all was over. liut Alden was not sentimental and had adopted the motto, 4' 1111111 r'1ir1171111.r 711'711z11111J, believing that there are but two times for sentimentality, one on writing the first letter home, and the other after the Senior Prom. It was during these early weeks that Hank Conger, likewise attracted by the glory of the autumn, lost himself on some distant slope and had it not been for a friend, an entire stranger to NVilliamstown, who was with him, and who evi- dently had a bump of locality instead of a dent like Harry's, we might never have seen that preco- cious prodigy again. It is said that on this occa- sion Sherry made his only known joke by offer- ing Hank a copy of the Y. M. C. A. hand-book with the hope that the map in the front of it would enable him to find the way to chapel. ' On November sixth Alden went down to Am- herst and had the satisfaction of seeing a tie game, secured by Fifer's ninety-yard run. at the moment when defeat seemed inevitable: but this satisfac- tion did not outlast the game with Dartmouth on Weston field, two weeks later. On the twenty- third Alden sat in upper classman state on the bleachers and viewed the great Soph-Freshman game, which, owing largely to his efforts in yelling 60 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. ff More slugging, more blood, Fresh l resulted in the unprecedented score of 4 to 4. After these excitements, Alden felt the need of a little mental food, and accordingly applied him- self diligently to Prof. Rice's course on Pump- kins, Corn. and Whiskey, the three things that kept the French out of America, and brought the English in. ln order to better appreciate this course, he devoted himself also to l'op.'s Logic, but some of the long words stuck in his throat, and at the end of the term the only thing he remem- bered with any clearness was this: H If a turtle has one hundred yards handicap on Achilles who is scratch and runs ten times as fast tries to overtake the turtle his steps by the first law of logic will become shorter and shorter till he finds it impossi- ble to do so without by the second law of logic treading on his tail which the turtle on the other hand will keep just one tenth ahead till both begin to go backwards when by the third law of logic Achilles wins by the margin of just one hundred yards. fAldenj received an A plus on the exam., and went home happy as a lark. The Christmas vacation was marked by an unusual and pleasant event which took place in the hermitage on December 24, Commy Comstock having gone out into the highways and hedges, befriended with meat and drink the lonely remain- der of the students. He had hired NVhelan as entertainer, and the evening passed off with great eclat. The winter term went rapidly, in spite of its appellation of H long. On fine afternoons, when the snow was in fit condition-not crusty and yet not soft-Alden repaired to Buxton Hill with his skiis, upon which, and off of which, he executed most remarkable feats. Another favorite diver- sion, which is also distinctly Norwegian, was to take long midnight walks. When the crust was hard, the moon full, and his clunn well disposed, there was nothing more delightful than these aim- less wanderings over the glistening hills, and beside the swirling brooks. Nature puts on her most fascinating garb on a winter night: the colors are softer, the shadows more shadowy, and from Stone Hill the old college town, silent and asleep, makes one love it more than ever.- Occasionally after these sensations Alden at- tempted to write stuff for the education of the 1.17. editors, but his friend Hank begged him remember that, after all, there were only two times for being sentimental. So he resolved to turnover a new leaf. He watched the progress of the chess tournament with some interest. This was finally won by Carr, and later by'Amherst. In debating, Williams appeared this year at her best, Shipherd and Herb Lehman being among the debaters, who in May were destined to gain a brilliant victory over Dartmouth. It is said that many Dartmouthians, however, were ofthe opinion that this debate was 'lon the pig. lf so, Ham and Bacon must have had something to do with it. In February, several of the fraternities gave house parties, and for the entertaimncnt of the guests and the encouragement of athletics. the Cap and Bells produced a play called The House I'.u'ty, which was written by Arthur Ketchum and Harry Conger, and acted chiefly by john Hunter Barn-Stormer Stearns. The shirt-tail parade, on March 17, was marked by a good deal of spirit, and it is a wonder that the pile of' barrels on the old campus was the only thing that got fired. It proved diffi- cult, however, for the authorities to light on any- thing else, yet they must have known that these tar barrels were not the real tanks. The success of the parade, it may well be added, was due to the protection that Elmore Ross and certain other fatherly persons furnished to their little friends. On the last day of the term Lehman and Rice were elected to the Lzhfrazjy MUIIIHU in order to avoid further outburst of their genius. Conger shyly assumed the responsibilities of chairman, and the board now constituted itself a committee of the whole to suppress Sherry, who had just turned up again as editor-in-chief of the I'Veell'0f. Spring is the pleasantest season at Williamstown, when it comes at all, and Alden had made up his mind to indulge rlolfcfnr 7l1'!7llft? to the utmost, but this year the spring was full of excitement. He early enlisted in the Bambergcr Blues and was sworn at, though not unkindly, by Grov. Gran., Ninety-nine's famous captain. Alternate drilling and baseball occupied attention for a month. He watched 199 win the class cup, and on May I4th went again to Amherst to see Williams defeat her rival on the track. The Sophomore Prom. proved too much for the war feeling, and after it was over the Bamberger Blues disbanded to seek glory in the less exciting field of the semi- annual exams. Ninety-nine came out of the con- flict with none killed and but few seriously wounded. The baseball season was unfortunate, and although Captain Ross exerted every effort, VVilliams came out second in the league. But she had one redeeming victory over Cornell, with arec- ord of S to 4. After the last game with Amherst jimmie Reardon was elected captain for the com- ing year. - The time of the H Thirtieth was graced by the apppearance of various noteworthy publications, such as the H Williams Sketches, the Ninety-eight ff Class Book, and the Gul. struggling into hor- rid existence two months late. A deal between Branch and Sherry, by which the latter wrote in the Ilivfkbf of H a gratuitous insult, helped on the sale of the Gul. at least onehundred per cent. At this time also the Gargoyle elections took place and not more than twenty fellows succeeded in unsticking themselves from the bysomesophomoredoubtless- bepitched fence. Shipherd now took charge of the Y. M. C. A., and to maintain the balance of powers Stearns was made president of Cap and liclls. With the class supper at The Idlewild the year drew to a close. Captain Branch of the football team. as toastmaster, said much to impress upon the class the need of harmony in all they should attempt to do as Seniors and leaders in college life. Alden realized at last that he could no longer look through his glass darkly but must face the great responsibility ahead of him, and as everyone THE BOOK OF VOSC, and the -' Royal Purple 'l echoed through the hall, he bade farewell to the dolce jlzr niunle of his jolly junior year. flllkhllflli fl. lrlke.

DEAR lNl0'1'IIIiRZ -I know you expect a note whenever I change my position on the map, -a sort of acknowledgment of safe arrival of the invoice,-but there is so much to do the first week, that I have n't written. Things look about as they have looked the last three falls, and Il1llSl be quite as you saw them in the spring. The de- scription of the Fitchburg, which- you may read in each Gul, for generations, still holds good, though the station, whose corner stone was laid last spring, has now several bricks in place fprobably. the work of some passer-by with a taste for masonryj. The station hack has been dusted inside, I think, and l-Ii's brown, or rather brindle, trousers have a hole in them fbut tl1ere's no hole in the pocket where he keeps his pursej. johnny liascom's wood- cutters are finishing the clearing of the campus. I was awfully glad to see all the men again, of course, looking rather more tanned, and all wear- ing their city clothes, for it takes about a week to get acclimated and back in one's old jeans. Ned Bolton has n't done it yet. My first feat was to pass my extra work fwhich I have never been able to make you believe differed from a conditionj, and then I got my room some- what in shape, and the photographs of the team in their new places. The chief things one notices are the absence of '98, and the presence of a lot of Freshinen - rather a disgusting lot, too-as one sees them coming out of recitation. It's a question whether 799 ever looked that way, but the Freshman picture over tl1e fireplace convinces me that even '99 has improved. The new men are respectful, though, and are beginning to turn around to look at the captains of the teams and a few other Seniors when they pass. Usually some one has just told them whom they are looking at. Moreover, they call me H Mr. Alden, and try to be nice and subdued, which I enjoy. I wonder if there's any feeling like an upper classman's first Freshman who gives him his title and asks if it would be fresh to smoke in his own room in the presence of a Senior. No one has quite settled to work yet or will for another two weeks, and now there is nothing better to do than to smoke an old pipe in front of XVatson's, and drop up fl never understood the statics of that phrasej to the hotel of an evening to watch Hunter and Corb and jack Gilman dance, if I'm energetic, or else to smoke cigarettes on the piazza and listen to Grove Grannis tell 2lI'l1OOSllll stories.

I have some words to whisper to you on just that subject. 62 WILLIAMS I should like to have taken you to Albany with us for the Indian game. Score, 6 to 17-but I think you have formed the good habit of reading football scores in the It'a:pl10!1L'au. Never mind the fact that we lost, we played good ball, but those rubber men of Indians were fresher at the end than at the kick-off. Our touchdown was something of a fluke-but O'Neill went down the field so fast, once he had the ball, you could n't quite see him. The field is 'way up on a hill, and the wind drove across it and spoiled the punting, but the Choctaws did n't try to kick. I went down with a suit, but was n't put into the game. I believe that several matters have transpired since I wrote you. lSut you r'e 'one of the members of the family that I do n't have to write to oftener than once a term. This time lwant to prove to you that quite as much is going on as at the par- ticular institution that seems to fiiscinate you. I send some photographs of the Freshman-Sopho- more game two weeks ago. When the infield had been neatly tied in bags, the base-runner was given a goat for company's sake in his perilous trip be- tween bases, but they cornered him between first and second. The pictures show the rest. Ninety- nine, anyway, had a very good time, and hung together as well as Ilve ever seen the class tlo. There were several pretty rushes afterward, and I had a longing to be an under classman again and get into the game. One of the Seniors scented battle from afar, and fought impartially with both classes, and seemed to be having a very good time indeed.

The Renaissance, which was just inaugurated as you left. has cievelollcd mightily.

The trees on Main street are red with very little buds, and the campus blossoms with spring clothes like the rose, and with strange hats like the sun- flower. Our gowns balloon out behind us on Sun- day mornings, and somebody invariably starts to sing, H The Black Four Hundred are on Pa- rade To-day. We've managed to appear in them twice now, since the first Sunday, which was made interesting by a raging snowstorm. Only half the college is in town at any one time, and the ball team has played its first few games. The crowd waiting outside Watson's for the little boy to sprint from NefTy's is quite like last year, but he brought news of a victory in the first league game ofthis season. Most of us are dropping what we've had to do in college. I and the rest of the old board are off the lf'1v:kLv, and the first feeling that our time is about up is coming over us. l'm beginning to watch every detail and hold it fast for the days when H all that's put behind me long ago and far away, -all the little picturesque things I never no- ticed before-the foolish virgins going back of Morgan at dusk with empty oil-cans-the pump, which turns its nose up as an unfailing sign of spring-the men on the bench in front of Watson's, or watching the little muckers fight in the mud knee deep in Spring street,-the Seniors and their tops, or the fellows singing on theisteps of Morgan in the evening. The whole impression these little matters go to make appeals to me this last under- graduate spring as it never has before, and there's a touch of sadness in '- Where, Oh Where, and 'f Here's to You- that I never used to notice.

The long afternoons, while we watch practice or gamesg the evenings, when there are sings on the terrace by Morgang all the familiar faces of the men I've known for four yearsg even the familiar hodge-podge of costumes-gowns and duck trous- ers, straw hats, slouch hats, and none atall- make me fcel-- But I refuse to become sentimental before Class day. It 's only a few days now till somebody- not the President this time--will say a few words about the closing century and hand me asheepskin and half a foot of purple ribbon, and then I shall have to follow the sheriff and the band to my first alumni dinner-though I do nlt think I shall stay long. Then there ls Class day and all its speeches to come, and the class supper, which I trust will not be so sniffiy a matter as I've heard of some other Classes. And then-I-Iey, Presto! and W. Alden, A. B., is no more a college man but a poor devil in search of a job-but a Williams man, nevertheless, and not ever likely to forget that. Very affectionately, Wmrmion ALDEN. ffokn S. Oakwau. AS TOLL. lFrom the Williams Literary Montlily.j Lovely Mabel, were you dreaming? Glad the day you said to me, Dancing eyes so brightly beaming. H Give my love to sweet Marielll What a strange exhilaration To be bearer of your heart! What a wonderful temptation For a part ! For I have not tried to find her Since you sent your love by meg Day by day I think Ilm blinder, Fruitless search, as you might see.. I wonder, if in sending ' If you chose your slave by chance, What that twinkle was portending In your glance ?e Tell me, when I bear the treasure, Would you very angry be Should I keep a trifling measure That was hardly meant for me? For it ls common in commissions Some percentage of the whole To extract from your partricians, just for toll. Yoda Barker. flfrom the Williams Literary Monthlyj The errant Wind, the troubaclour, Came down the woodland ways with spring. And all the paths were bare before, And all behind were blossoming. He freed the grass from donjon-keeps- He scattered blossoms for reward Unto the wild things in the wood, The happy villeins of his Lord. O happy children of his realm! By blue faint hills and marish-grass, Who suffer him, in simpleness, To tune their hearts before he pass. yohn Srzumiers Oakman. NOVEMBER. - lFrom the Williams Literary Mouthly.j The leaves drift wide like driving sprayg The sea-wind whirls on barren places. The crimson stain That autumn gave the hills, the gray Clouds darken, and blur out the traces Of all her train. The old unrest is in my heart, As hers was sad, for all the tire And pomp thereof. The road is openg I may start- Both seed and fruit of joy, desire, Is wealth enough.
