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

LIFE GLIMPSES. 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- !'

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.

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.
