He intends to become an electrical engineer, and will do post- graduate work at Cornell. His address is 640 Madison Ave., New York City. SPRING, Dana Levi, Zeta Psi, was born on Aug. II, 1878, in Franklinville, N. Y. His early life is a mystery, as far as the knowledge of the editor goes. He prepared for college at the Ten Broeck Academy, and came to Williams to sit next to Smith. During his course Dana has con- scientiously devoted himself to class-room work, specializing in English, and has uniformly main- tained a good stand. The passing of Dr. Fite was the cause ofgreat grief on his part. H Judge intends making law his future profession, and will study at the Bufthlo Law School. He is not sure of his future address. STEARNS, John Hunter, Sigma Phi, Gar- goyle, made his first barn-storming entrance on june 21 , 1876, in Chicago, Ill., and prepared at the Lake Forest Academy. Stearns reached Williams in time to take part in the Dramatic revival begun by '97. Although his course has not been without other forms of activity, it is through his work on Cap and Bells that he has attained the most prominence. He has been a member of that organization since Sophomore year, and has been its president during the past year. His best work is in character parts, and although we often see behind the make-up and costume Hunter's own original personality, it rather adds to the enjoy- ability of the performance. john is a joyful youth in spite of his abnormally long face, and his num- erous stunts and jovial jests have earned for him the appropriate nickname of Little Sunshine. His future occupation is unknown, but his address will be 480 No. State St., Chicago, lll: TAYLOR, Edward Francis, Phi Beta Kappa. was born April 12, IS77, in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Eddie has been a dili- gent student, and has received four honor scholar- ships, a Rice Book prize, the second prize in French, a Graves essay prize, and a Commence- ment appointment. Studies, however, have not entirely taken up his time, he having been on the Gul. board and the Honor System committee, and has been a member of the Art Association, and the Philologian, Classical, and Philosophical societies, being president of the last named organization.

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.

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.
