He reentered Wil- liams with the class of 1902, and completed the first two years of his course with that FORMER MEMBERS. 41 class. Last fall he entered Brown University as a junior, but is now at his home in Holyoke. Harry Lockwood Ransom, Zeta Psi, left college in the latter part of Sophomore year and went into business with his father at Lockport, N. Y., and that place is still his address. Prentiss de Veuve Ross continued with the class until Christmas of Sophomore year, when he left to go into business. For over a year he has been connected with the whole- sale house of Wilmerding 8: Bisset, of New York city, and now has a very fine position with them. Carrol Carpenter Seeley, one of the football stars of the class, was one of our number until the middle part of junior year when he became a member of class of 1902. He did not remain to complete the course with them, but became a member of the junior class of Leland Stanford University last fall, where he has continued to win laurels as a football player. Fielding Simmons, Kappa Alpha, was a member of the class until Easter of Freshman year. He entered college again the next fall with the class of 1902. He was an active member of our class while with us, and has been none the less so with the class of 1902. His work on the gridiron has been of an especially high order. Besides being a mem- ber of the class teams, he has played on the 'Varsity for four years, acting as captain last year, and he is classed among the best tackles in the college football world. Earl Daniel Sprague left college to go into business after having been at Williams for three years. His present address is Bridge- port, Conn. Frederick William Spring, after having completed the work of Sophomore year, de- cided to leave college and study law at his home in Franklinville, N. Y., where he may now be found. john Tuttle Swift, Sigma Phi, left college at Easter of Freshman year, and he has since been at work at his home in Fall River, Mass. For a year and a half he was connected with the Fall River Herald, but since October, 1899, has been in the employ of the Pocasset National bank. He has taken a strong in- terest in politics, and is an active member of the Central Republican Club of Fall River, as well as a member of the executive com- mittee of the Fall River Williams College Club. -William Burton Tuttle spent the larger part of ,Freshman year with us, and completed the remainder of the year at Syracuse Univer- sity. He rejoined us at the beginning of Sophomore year, but did not return to Wil- liams the next fall. John Phineas Upham, Sigma Phi, left college during the spring of junior year. He was a very active member of the class and manager of the class teams for two years. as well as the assistant manager of the 'Varsity team, at the time he left. He is now in Chicago in the banking house of N. W. Harris. Walter Jones Whipple, Delta Psi. com- pleted only one year with us and then began his work with the Atlantic Marine Insurance Co., of New York city. He is now the manager of the home office. Frederick Pfeil Wolf left college during the middle part of Sophomore year. He has since been engaged in business at his home in Troy. Sidney Beardsley Wood, Delta Psi, was a member of the class until the latter part of the fall term of Senior year. He remained for some time in Williamstown, and spent the winter in Mexico, but is now at 'his home in Bridgeport, Conn. 42 WILLIAMS Each in His If physical laws were generalized into one law, thatlaw would be the law of adaptation- a universal coalescence of things and events into one product. Full as the world is of conflict, it perpetually eschews confiict, and seeks for equilibrium. How has the mate- rial world grown out of tempestuous chaos into its present unity and beauty, every atom and every fragment finding their own place with the atoms and fragments about them! How vegetative lives, as in the forest, inter- weave themselves with each other, and make together a marvelously complex, and complete, product! Animals, though perpetually war- ring on each other, in spite of their warfare and by means of their warfare. make a king- dom every portion of which is restrained byits relations to the whole. When we come to man, not only do all his animal functions, but all his intellectual and spiritual ones in a yet higher degree, concur in incorporating him, each in his own place, in a kingdom, which, because of its possible perfection, has been called the kingdom of heaven. While the elements of wisdom and choice are meant to be uppermost in this har- mony, wisdom is so frequently wanting and choice is so wayward, that they often throw men out of adjustment in the system to which they belong. As one with a knowledge of their character looks over the faces of those whose history makes up the Class Book, he cannot but be impressed with the great, yet variable and complex, possibilities expressed in them. What limitations, what powers, what justifi- able hopes, are gathered in each one, clustered there by the inexplicable idiosyncrasy of one's own life, by inheritance, by training, and by that reaction of accidents to which we are sub- ject. How shall these young men, each and all, find the very place which the world, in its manifold wants, has prepared for them, and for which so many events have brought them for- COLLEGE. Own Place. ward and fitted them? Dr. Buslmell, whose thoughts ranged widely and searchingly, dis- cussed the problem of the individual life in the hopeful and suggestive discourse, Every man's life a plan of God -every man a special factor in a world built for him and he for it. He that would attain this position of honor and of strength and of comfort- which is his own-must lay aside a captious and exacting temper. Such a temper blunts him to the forces about him, and makes him erratic and belligerent and repellant. He must let the world, the world made up of ruling tendencies and urgent claims, have way with him, as well as he way with it. He must, as the strong swimmer or the skilful navigator, seize the right current at the right moment and so push on and prosper by it. There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune, Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. ' The vaporing impulse to seek honor without labor, to be conspicuous without power, must be held sharply in check. The eager boy, who seizes his half-lighted torch and rushes with it into the wind, is soon left with a smok- ing fagot. The world brings every industrious man a proffer, a very small one it may be, yet a proffer that is a door to that path which shall lead him to his own place. A patient. thor- ough performance of the labor which falls to one is as sure as is the sequence of physical events to guide to larger and more productive labors. The balloon no more assuredly pushes its way upward to its own stratum, than does the buoyant spirit rise to its own level. He that does the best that is in him and does it continuously is at one with the world in its eternal labor of harmony, he will share that harmony, and hold it as a permanent posses- sion and as unfailing peace in his own spirit. Yahn Barrow. A FEW WORDS TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY CLASS. 43 A Few Words to the Twentieth Century Class. I cannot be insensible to the good will and appreciation shown me in the invitation to contribute something to your Class Book. And, as the chief merit of what I shall say will be its brevity, I will not let my last words to you be a long sermon. It would be not merely interesting, but instructive to me, if, after the lapse ofa decade, I could know what you individually regard as the elements of chief value in your college education. lt is hardly probable that the valuation you now put upon many things in your college course will remain unchanged. The testing time is not while the years are passing, nor at the close of the college course as you pass these in reviewg no such inventory of your is likely to be the true one. Only the years gains years to come, the situations in which you are to be placed, the exigencies that will confront you, will enable you to set the true valuation upon what you have gained from these four years of college life, only the experiences of these after years can bring to you the full recognition of the strongest and the best in- fluences that have worked upon your lives during these years 5 so subtle and so intangible are those agencies that have most profoundly and most permanently affected you, that only in their remoter effects can you rightly appre- ciate them. Itis not unlikely that what many, if not all, of you will most value in later years, are not any acquisitions of special knowledge, any special training for just the station in life you may occupy, or the profession you have chosen, not what you have got from the class- room, not what books have taught you. but the ability to use your powers of intellect and moral will. and especially the ability to devote thought and effort to things that must be done, but which you would not naturally choose to do, the uncongenial tasks, but the necessary things which your vocation puts in your way. These, I am prone to think, are the things you will then most value. I venture to suggest that in this later review of your college years, you will find a valuation, perhaps not a low one, for some things that have seemed unim- portant, have been it may be irksome duties, against which in your love of freedom you have cherished a silent if not spoken protestg the situations in which you must meet recur- ring tasks and responsibilities and must give them your best effort, the ability to meet these demands promptly and efficiently, the steady- ing force of habits of regularity in work, the check upon capricious and vacillating conduct, the safeguard against dawdling and loitering when action is the only wise thing, for such factors in a successful life may you not be in- debted to the routine'of required attendances, to the fact that you were accountable for the use of your time,--to the requirement that what you can do to-day is not to be put off till to7morrow. But whatever change there may take place in your valuations of college life, of one thing I am quite certain 3 the impressions, the influ- ences from these years which will last longest, and which you will value most with the lapse of time, are the personal, not the impersonal, ones. You will appreciate the truth of Emer- son's remark, H Send your son to college and the boys willeducate him. H Some personal force has wrought these best, these mostabid- ing, things I have carried out from my college days, will be the personal confession of every one of you, who shall be privileged to see his college years in a long retrospect. The life with your college fellows, the manner in which you have lived among them, what they have known of you, what they have seen you do, the interaction of your thoughts, the accepted standards of judgment and action, this whole interplay of life upon life,-these are the most serious considerations that press upon your reflection in these closing days of your college course, and will not cease to do so as the years go by. To have made the most and the best of these social relations, to have lived true. to your best ideals,will be, I am sure, the happiest memory any one of you can carry through the coming years, the best record you will leave on the walls of the old collegesliome, and the best contribution you have made to the worthy traditions of this place. Yohn E. Russell. 44 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. The Activities of the Class. IN ATHLETICS. WEARERS OF Tx-ua W IN 1901. Bent, Cullinan, Davenport, Dolph, Gold- thwait, Hoyne, jay, Kanter, Leggett, Ly- decker, Park, Potter, Rooney, Street. IN FOOTBALL. The reward of all athletics should be found not in the self-evident form of mere victories, but insomuch as the result has tended and made for manliness. Unselfish, noble self- sacrificing, without a care for personal reputa- tion, elevating the ideals for which every Wil- liams man so stoutly strives,-that is the spirit which IQOI has engendered in the dying strug- gle which has ended our last life's breath on the football field. We have to look much beyond the horizon of our class boundary to find the true expres- sion of the unsevered love for Williams which exists in the hearts of Cullinan, Kanter, and Dolph. We feel an emotion far exceeding that which our meagre words of mouth can ex- plain, Howing from the deepest bleeding souls of Leggett, Davenport, Rooney, Potter, and jay, as they turn back but one brief page in their dearest life's history, when they said a lingering farewell to those muddy football suits of the last Wesleyan game. And all of us, do not tears gather in our eyes as we recall that solemn procession one by one, walking downcast out of those HGym. doors? No Columbia game, no Amherst game ever half so surely tolled out the strains of victory as those voices raised in unison to cheer a defeated team. It was not a victory of footballprowess, no, but a victory of nobleness, of manhood. God has made us not for vainglorious con- quests, not for championships, with which to astound future generations, but for that over- powering sympathy, gentleness, and brotherly love. Nineteen Hundred and One, you have had a trust given into your keeping, the trust of a memory of Hanover, junior year. Like the good servant you have not only guarded it, but nourished it, and now not doublefold but four- fold do you pass it on in that sacred spirit which binds us close to the bosom of our college days, to those who should love and cherish it as you have done. Since Freshman year our class has held an enviable position in both col- lege and class football, not so much for the showy ability of the men as for that doggish spirit of determination which has ever stamped the men of Igor. It is that unwavering up- hill struggle for a mighty end against all odds which has won a devoted atTection of the college for the men who came with but little to recommend them to the coaches save their set teeth and clenched hands. It was the loyalty and devotion to a junior captain, who perhaps was not at one time the Senior choice, that has given us this year a victory no cham- pionship can subordinate. The memory of one Carroll Seeley in years to come will still cling to us in times of doubt and hesitation as a noble example of a man who, despite his faults, dared to defy certain danger, who knew not the quality of cowardice or fear. In closing, classmates, you will pardon the writer, I am sure, if he raises his voice in com- mendation and praise of one of our former members, Fielding Simmons. It is a hard task indeed to lead with dignity and grace those who stand above you in rank of class distinc- tion. That he has done with consideration and meekness. No better tribute to him or to our own class could be paid than the very manifest existence of that kind, loving bond which holds our souls fast in the fond embrace of Williams friendships, conceived and grown into fullest blossom and purity, of the hard- ships of Weston Field. ' Quincy Bent. IN BASEBALL. In a college H 1'enowned for baseball, Nine- teen Hundred and One has not been delinquent in its efforts to win and maintain the glories of the diamond. In fact every one of us justly prides himself on our representatives in this branch of athletics. While Freshmen Lydecker, Street, and Bent all made the 'Varsity, it was not until the following year that their capabilities were really 5 THE ACTIVITIES brought out. At the close of our Sophomore year, when Bent pitched against the alumni, striking out one opponent after another and allowing but one hit in nine innings, he was merely presenting a prologue to the fine work which he was destined to accomplish the next season. Great credit is due Bent for the championship of 1900. Lydecker and Street also showed much development, and became very important factors in the make-up of last year's team. The former was one of the two best batters and could be depended upon at third base, while the latter's playing at second was always brilliant. During junior year Leggett was added to the team and he credit- ably filled his position in the out-field. The prospects for this season are scarcely as bright as last year. No team could easily sus- tain the loss of such men as Plunkett, Russell, Seaver, Edwards, and Risley. However, with Captain Lydecker to lead the men and Charlie Ganzel as coach we have every reason to ex- pect a first-class nine. We can but hope and wait to see if Williams will win the title of H Champions in the new Triangular League for the third successive time. In the class games Nineteen Hundred and One has been more or less unfortunate. Our Freshman year we tied Nineteen Hundred for second place and at the close of the following season we were again tied with the same class- this time for first place. However, in the final contest Nineteen Hundred proved themselves the champions and thus we lost our firmest grasp upon the cup. Junior year we failed to better ourselves and so ranked third in the struggle for supremacy. Archzbala' L. Hoyas. IN TRACK ATHLETICS. A very noticeable, and, withal, a very desir- able, record has been that of Williams on the track for the past three years. Not an un- broken list of victories, to be sure, but still a very close approach to such an accomplish- ment. And in this glorious uplifting of track athletics at Williams the class of Igor has taken a very conspicuous part. A brief re- view of the work of the team since we entered college will, I am sure, be interesting and instructive to many. OF THE CLASS. 45 Freshman year we were represented on the relay team by Park and Potter, both of whom helped in defeating Amherst twice, once at the Boston Athletic Association games, and again at the Boston College meet. In the New England Intercollegiate meet we were fifth, but we won the dual meet with Amherst, held on Pratt field. Sophomore year Williams defeated Amherst again at relay racing, but was beaten by Cornell in a close finish. This year we won the Triangular meet with Amherst and Wesleyan,--scoring within three points as many as Amherst and Wesleyan together. The Worcester meet we lost by a single point to Bowdoin. Junior year we won the Trian- gular meet, and, for the first time in many years, the New England Intercollegiate meet also, besides defeating Amherst and Wesleyan in relay racing. In other words, we won every meet we were in last year. So far this year we have maintained this excellent record. ln the Boston Athletic Association games we defeated Amherst easily in time,-3 minutes, Iljf seconds, within 2- of the record. Then came the dual meet with Columbia, which we lost by the close score of 38 to 34 points. But in addition to these intercollegiate vic- tories the class has taken an important part in the interclass contests. Freshman year we won the Call meet, in which all the classes were represented, and Sophomore year we won the annual Sophomore-Freshman fall meet. In the following spring we won the Hoyt cup, and Paul Potter won the Gargoyle cup. a feat which was duplicated Junior year. The outlook for a successful season is at this writing very bright. Under the able captaincy of Paul Potter the men are rapidly developing into a first-class team, which ought to give an excellent account ofitself both at the New England Intercollegiate meet and at the Triangular meet here in Williamstown. The greatest credit for this result is due to Paul Potter, who, 1 think, shares with John Bray, 1900, the honor of being the finest track athlete Williams has ever seen. For three years he has been one of the mainstays of the team, and this year is making an ideal captain. Potter is probably the finest hurdler in any college in the country to-day. Last year he ran second to Kraenzlein in the high hurdles at the meet of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America in 46 WILLIAMS the very fast time of 152- seconds. Second only to Potter in ability on the track is Park, who has never disappointed us in winning points in the quarter mile. Rooney also has done excellent work in the sprints, especially in the shorter dashes. In the dual meet with Columbia, Rooney tied the worldls record in the 60-yard dash, covering the distance in 72 seconds. Cullinan has shown superiority in the weights. Holmes and Lathrop have also rendered valuable service. Such has been the record of track athletics since IQOI became connected with the college. In it the class has played a very important part, and unless all present indications fail, will play a still more important part in the com- ing season. Iizlzurzrrl S. Golrflhwazl IN LITERARY WORK. While not so prolific in literary contribu- tions as some of the classes which have gone before, still the Class of IQOI has done much to maintain the high standard set by preced- ing boards. Up to the May number of Senior year the class of IQOI has furnished twenty-nine per cent. of the total number of articles. Four- teen men in all have contributed from time to time. About five of these, more or less regu- larly, and two in particular, Goodwillie and Marvin, have done the chief share of the work. - Corcoran and Goodwillie began to con- tribute early in Freshman year. jay's first poem appeared in the latter part of Sopho- more year. Birnie, Brush, Drake, Marvin, Menkel, Ross, and Patterson did not begin till Junior year, and Ackerley, Schell, and Squires waited till Senior year. Marvin leads with twenty-two articles, three prose and nineteen verse, Goodwillie comes next with fifteen, fourteen prose and one verse, jay, five prose and four verseg Cor- coran. nine verse, Ross, eight prose 5 Menkel, one prose and five verseg Brush, Drake, and Patterson each have two proseg Squires, two verse, Brown, one verse: and Ackerley and Schell each have one prose. The class was very unfortunate in losing Corcoran so early in the course. His verse COLLEGE. was of a high order, and he promised fair to become one of the leading literary lights of the college had he continued with us. In 1899, Goodwillie's essay was awarded first prize, and he was taken on the board in Sophomore year. jay, Marvin, and Ross were elected to the board in Senior year, and Goodwillie was chosen chairman. In the Stories and Verse of Williams, published in the spring of 1900, appear two poems by Corcoran, three prose articles by Goodwillie, and one poem by Jay. Good- willie has also contributed to the New Cap and Gown series. Under the editorship of 1901 the Hfeekly has been ably and conscientiously conducted. In the spring of 1898 Palmer, Schell, Squires, Woodward, and Wakelin' were elected to the board, and the following year Broadhurst and Drake were chosen to fill two vacancies. This gave our class an important place on the board very early in the course. In Senior year Broadhurst became editor-in-chief, and Schell assistant editor-in-chief. Schell re- signed this position shortly after, and Squires was elected to fill his place. The policy of the IQOI board has been characterized by accuracy of statement and a fearless, inde- pendent, but respectful attitude. The result has been to make the lflfeekly a most desirable and reliable record of our college course, while at the Sallie time many existing evils have been pointed out and lessened, and the effi- ciency and tone of the paper has been con- siderably raised. Our Gul. is easily the best book since 1898. Its literary and artistic qualities are very good, and taken all in all it is a very creditable pro- duction, and one of which the class feels justly proud. The board was composed of Broad- hurst, Goodwillie fchairmanj, Lane, Quirk, and Squires. Goodwillie, Marvin, and Squires contributed the greater portion of the prose and verse, while to Hart and Leggett belongs the credit of many of the artistic illustrations. Anlhofgl Marlizz lllenkel. IN MUSIC. Although Nineteen Hundred and-One can scarcely be called a musical class, yet our efforts in the musical line have been fltr from unsuccessful. We have always had our full TI-IE ACTIVITIES share in the membership of the different clubs. Freshman year we furnished thirteen men, and although many of these, among them Fitzpatrick, who bade fair to distinguish him- self as one of the best tenors the college has ever had, have fallen by the wayside, yet we finish with the same number, more than one third of the total membership of the clubs. This year the clubs have proven to be fully up to the standard of former years. White, as leader of the Glee Club, has been a hard and consistent worker, and has succeeded in turning out a very creditable club. The Mandolin Club has done especially well. Though handicapped by the untimely loss of their first leader, Dickinson, yet they have, under the competent leadership ofErskine '02, kept their old rank of the best of the three clubs. In his quiet way Ely ,02 has tried hard to bring the Banjo Club up to its proper standard, and the result has been a marked improvement over the banjo clubs of the last three years. An agreeable feature during the latter part of the winter term this year has been the revival of the musicales of 1898. Great credit is due to those who have given up their time to this side of the musical activities of the college, and it is to be hoped that suc- ceeding classes will keep up the good work. In this brief sketch we cannot forget the Chapel choir, though perhaps it were better we should. Nineteen Hundred and One has offered up five victims upon its altar, all of whom have done their share in swelling the discordant wail which arises so regularly from the southwest corner of the building. On the whole, Nineteen Hundred and One has done her full share in keeping up the music of the college, and her members can look back satisfied with having done their duty and with having brought only credit to their class. X F. 0. Lalhrop. IN DEBATING. In no other line of college activities has Nineteen Hundred and One been more defi- cient in 'Varsity men than in debating. This is largely due to the fact that during the past three years of our course there was but one OF Tl-IE CLASS. 47 college team, and the places on this were filled by men of unusual talents in debating from the classes above. Under such condi- tions there was little incentive for mediocre material to develop itself. Drake alone per- sistently kept up the fight, taking part in the Dartmouth debate junior year. and leading it in Senior year. Although, with this one ex- ception, marked ability has not been conspicu- ous, the class has had a usually large repre- sentation in the two societies, and has always been well represented in the competitions for places on the team. The formation of the new league with ifVes- leyan, in the spring term of last year, has doubled the field for activity. It marks the beginning of a new era in debating at Wil- liams, and the time when less importance needs to be attached to inter-society and Adelphic Union contests. Talent which has hitherto been confined to these narrow fields can now develop itself in the intercollegiate debate. The first contest in this new league, resulting in so pronounced a victory for Wil- liams, augurs well for a prosperous future. Though competition in the trials for places has usually been sharp, the incentive has been increased within the year by the provision of a loyal alumnus of the college, who has offered two prizes of fifty dollars for the trial contests for each team, twenty-five dollars to be award- ed to the best man who makes the team, fif- teen tothe second, and ten to the best man who competes and fails. This provision should stimulate interest and insure a strong second team. It is a matter worthy of careful considera- tion, and one which demands immediate rem- edy, that so little energy in college is devoted to the interests of debating. There is plenty of ability of 'Varsity order, but its attention is diverted to other lines. In the years gone by the old societies developed Garfields, Gladdens, and Ingallsg now, with the much broader fields for success, why should it not be appreciated at Williams, as well as at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and Dartmouth, that one of the highest honors a man can win in the college course is a place on the intercollegiate debating team? Why should not as much good material always present itself' in compe- tition for the debating medal as for the ath- letic W ? It should be remembered that 48 WILLIAMS all who make an honest effort in this direc- tion bring honor to their college and likewise distinguish themselves. Charles M. Davenport. RELIGIOUS INTERESTS. In dealing with the religious life ofthe college and of the class, it is by no means easy to bring forth tangible evidence from which to draw conclusions. On the contrary, it is next to impossible. We shall, therefore, have to be content to speak in a general way of religion and of the participation on the part of IQOI in those activities which exist for the upbuilding and fostering of spiritual life in Williams. Before speaking more directly of the class itself, it may be of interest to review briefly the yearjust drawing to a close. It must be evident to all those of unbiased judgment that the moral and religious tone of the college has been uniformly high during the past nine months. This has been brought about by deeper earnestness on the part of the men who have seen fit to identify themselves with the religious interests of the college, and by wholesome tolerance and broadmindedness in those who have, for one reason or another, held aloof. Whatever criticism may be ofiered as to the nature of the work, it must be admitted that sincerity of purpose has been its chief characteristic. Inasmuch as the Mills Y. M. C. A. is the only distinctively religious organization in the college, it may not be out of place to refer to its influence at this point. The Sunday even- ing meetings of the association in jesup Hall, which have been addressed for the most part by men of greatprominence in the religious world, have been largely attended and have proved of great helpfulness to the college. Probably the Inost significant and impressive addresses of the year were those delivered in the early part of February by Mr. Robert E. Speer, Princeton '89, Mr. John R. Mott, Cornell '88, and Rev. Harry P. Dewey '84, of Brooklyn. Fully three fourths of the college attended these meetings, and were profoundly stirred by the message imparted by these men who have become such potent factors in developing the spirit of true religion and manliness in the COLLEGE. colleges. The Bible classes have been un- usually well attended and the class prayer- meetings have been up to the average. Men- tion should be made of the beneficial talks given by Professors Russell and Bascom to the Seniors during the winter term, and of the course of six lectures on the Bible by Prof. G. L. Robinson of McCormick seminary, Chicago. When we come to speak of the class itself, it is gratifying to note that over half of the class have taken up some form of religious work, or at least connected themselves with the purely Christian activities. Much valuable service of a missionary character has been rendered by members of 1901 in the country districts around Williamstown. In this and other ways Igor has displayed genuine inter- est in Christian work. It may be of interest to put on record the fact that fifty-two out of seventy-six men in the class are church mem- bers, an unusually large percentage. Two members of the class are looking forward to service in the foreign mission field, and six or eight intend to enter the ministry. It is not by such statistics, however, that the religious life of the class is to be gauged. The greatest satisfaction IQOI can have in the years to C0l'l1C is the knowledge that the four years spent together at Williams have been marked by those elements which alone make for the highest happiness and the deepening of the spiritual life of all those who have viewed their college course as a period of steady development and serious purpose. Wz7!z2zm P. Schell. IN DRAMATICS. . ' With the entrance of Igor began a revival in dramatic interests at Williams. This was the period of Ketchum '98, of Stearns and Whelan 'gg, and of Hutchins and Hebard 'oo, to each of whom is largely due the position held to-day by f'Cap and Bells as one of the best of college dramatic organizations. The part which IQOI has had in bringing this about is not inconsiderable, as it has furnished much material and much histrionic ability, and its members have taken most prominent parts in all the productions given during the last four years. Birnie has taken with equal apti- THE CUIRASSIER. I 49 tude the parts of dashing young professional men and of stern, sedate old women. Also we remember him pleasurably as the fair weeping widow in ff The Mouse Trap. Other parts which he has taken very creditably are those of H Dr. jim Fletcheri' in The House Party, Mrs. Goldwhinney in ffFor One Night Only, '-Mrs. Hardcastle in She Stoops to Conquer, -'Mrs. Tarbolt John- son in H Deacon Johnson, and once more as a man, the title role in H Christopher, jr. Caskey has confined himself entirely to young men's parts, which he has taken with great success. His acting is always full of life, shows keen interpretation, and is very natural. Among his productions should be mentioned his Dr. Robert Newman in ff For One Night Only, his H Fred Sanford in A Cyclone for a Cent, and that of ff Bert Bellaby in H Christopher, jr. Lathrop and Quirk joined the club in Sophomore yearg the former has taken char- acter parts of both sexes. His presentation of H Mrs. Bouncer in U Box and Cox, and off' Job, the English body-servant to H Chris- topher, -Ir., deserves special lmention, Quirk is the only member of the club at present who can take that very difficult part-an old man. As such he has followed close in the steps of Whelan, Hutchins, and Cornell 'oo. His rendition of f-Christopher Colt, Sr., a hot-headed millionaire, is specially creditable, as was that of ff Deacon Decker in 'fThe Darkey Woodcutter. Osborne has proved his histrionic ability in many different lines of character study. ln parts ranging from ff Front, the bellboy in ff Deacon johnson, to those of Miss Lois Blackstone, a dignified spinster in 'fThe House Party, and H Mrs. Colt in -f Chris- topher, jr., he has been beyond criticism, always making a pleasing interpretation of his part, and playing it with genuine feeling and taste. Whipple's career on H Cap and Bells was, unfortunately, very short, but in two plays Freshman year he gave most charming repre- sentations ofa pretty, fascinating young girl. His looks, actions, and little mannerisms were perfect. In fact, he showed perfect familiarity with feminine ways, and great aptitude in assimilating them. His rendition of Mar- garet in -'For One Night Only, and of H Vivette in ff The House Party 'l have not been equaled by aspirants towards femininity. Charles F. Park, Yr. 51 The Cuirassier. Ufrom thc Williams Literary Monthly.j With a hearty dash and a sabre's clash, With a thousand gleams and a double flash Of the brightened steel that knows no fear, What say ye lads as our horses rear? Who is there equals a cuirassier? With a bold brave air and a winning smile, With a stolen kiss tha.t's won by guile And a swagger known full many a mile, What say ye lassies as we appear? Was ever the like of a cuirassier? A flagon then of the rich red wine And a toast for the foot, the men of the line, To the sapper, the lancer, the canoneer, ' But first to the man who owns no peer, Come drink ye men, ff To the cuirassier ! ffohu Clarkson Yay, fr. 50 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. The Class. RELIGIOUS BELIEFS . The class is decidedly religious, if church membership denotes anything, for fifty-two men have united with some church. Of the rest, seven have no preference at all, but seventeen men have a liking for some particu- lar denomination. The faith of the men is as follows: Congregational, eighteeng Presby-A terian, sixteeng Episcopalian, fourteen, Bap- tist, seveng Methodist, five, Catholic, Dutch Reformed and Unitarian, two each, and one man is a Universalist. Davenport acknowl- edges membership in the church of God, and Moseley states that he is a believer in Panthe- istic Monism. OUR MORALS. Only seven men have reached the present stage of their existence without having tasted the pleasure of the weed, but of all those who admit their kinship with the Indians, only twenty-six are honest enough to acknowledge that they smoke regularly. This may be due to the fact that they have different ideas about the word regularly. Card playing is evidently looked upon as a much lesser sin, as all but ten men of the class confess that they have been subject to the entrancing influence of cards, nor do they state that whist is the only game they play. ' Studying on Sunday is practised regularly by thirty-one men, and when occasion de- mands, by fifteen more. Twenty-tive confine their hours of study to week days. Chapel time is used as a period of preparation by only twenty-one men. The others say: f-It de- pends upon the leader. Moseley says that he takes only lecture courses so that it is unnecessary. Howe could n't, as Soc's whis- tling disturbed him. Bushnell has n't since he received a note from Professor Fernald saying, ff 'llffblllll Jllfllflllfll 30113.77 POLITICAL TENDENCIES. The next generation may needs see fit to revise the song about the college H renowned for free trade, if succeeding classes are like Igor, for sixty-four men are adherents- of the Republican party. though one is conservative, and the other anti-imperialistic. The rest are Democrats, and are quite badly split up, six being plain' Democrats, three gold Demo- crats, one an old-fashioned Democrat, and another a middle-of-the-road Democrat. Thir- ty-one have expressed their political convic- tions at the polls. Broadhurst calls attention to the fact that he has voted, but adds that that is a fool question to ask ofa member of the Weekbf board. Companionship. l:From the Williams Literary MonthIy.j Rush and roar, thou mighty storm king, Over forest, field, and fen, In thy warrings thou resemblest Oft the stormy minds of men. How I revel in thy ravings When my soul is tempest-tossed, And I welcome thee as H brother When my heart says, H Hope is lost.

The Election Returns. THE CLASS. BRIGHTEST MAN. Squires easily wins in this event, coming in with twenty-three votes. Cleveland and Gu- telius follow closely with eleven and eight votes respectively, with Brown and Ackerly close behind, having six and four votes. Broad- hurst, Lane, and Newton receive three eachg Baker, Brooks, Caskey, and Park have two each, and the rest are scattered. MOST VERSATILE. Park easily distinguishes himself in versa- tility, and receives thirty-three votes, Leg- gett with eight, and Birnie with five votes, respectively, being his nearest rivals. Bent, jay, and Potter are in a separate class with three apiece 5 Broadhurst, Menkel, and Rooney in another, with two apiece, while twelve other men have one vote each. MOST POPULAR MAN. The contest for this honor is chiefly between Potter and Bent, and the former wins first place, receiving thirty-one votes, while Bent receives twenty-one. Kanter is third with tive, Rooney has three, Goldthwait, Leggett, Lydecker, Park, Quirk, and Schell receive two each, and Cullinan and Curtis have one apiece. BEST NATUu'1zn MAN. For best natured man, Peck says H Brown, with his smile, but an overwhelming majority of the fellows seem to have had most amicable relations with Bill Kanter, and he easily carries off the palm, receiving fifty-six votes, while none of his competitors is within call- ing distance. Davenport polls three votes, Dolph and Wardwell two each, and twelve other fellows get one apiece. ' HANnsoMesT MAN. This is a very exciting race all through, and Potter beats Park in a very close finish by only one vote, receiving nineteen in all, Smith and Woodward are next, with seven and six respectively, Hoyne, Goodwillie, and Palmer have three eachg Caskey, Dolph, and Jay two eachg while Birnie, Brush, Carr, Curtiss, Davenport,Edmunds, Quirk, Timbie, and Dougan each receive one. . SOCIAL LEADER. Howe apparently voices the sentiments of the class by saying 'f Cap and Bells present John M. Birnie with the prize, for Birnie eclipses his rivals, obtaining first place, with twenty-six votes. Caskey comes next with twelve, followed by Smith, who has five. Bent, Jay, Peck, and White have three each, Goodwillie and Schell, two each. The rest are scattering. One asks H Is Reggie ? while another states H Reggie thinks he is. BEST DRESSED MAN. Schell says H Smith has worked hard for the honor, and deserves it.'i At any rate he outdistances all competitors in receiving the phenomenal number of fifty-seven votes. Of the remaining votes, Bent gets live, Curtiss, Hoyne, and White, two eachg Brown, Culli- nan, Edmunds, and Timbie, one each. Gold- thwait says, Smith is, Birnie thinks he is, and White would like to be. Wl-IO HAS DONE MOST FOR WILLIAMS. Captain Potter's brilliant work on the track team, and his devotion to the athletic interests of Williams, bring him forty-four votes, and first place in this event, with Bent, who received seventeen votes, closely following him. Lydecker has four votesg Park and Schell threeapiece, and Cullinan and Street one each. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED. Quirk and Goldthwait tight for this dis- tinction, but H Billvmadeasprint at the finish, winning by a plurality of five votes, while Goldthwait received thirteen. With eight votes, Drake obtains third place, and Bent and Broadhurst follow at his heels with six and four, Hayner, Newton, and Schell have three each, Cleveland has two, and thirteen other men receive one apiece. THE ELECTION RETURNS. 53 CLASS CUP. The contest for class cup is going to be a very exciting one, judging from the ballots. There are twenty-seven avowed candidates in the field, and of these Edmunds heads the list with only eight votes, Carr and Rooney are tied for second place with six eachg Straw and Wakelin have five each, Dolph has four, Bensen, Tommy Clarke, and Schell have three each, Baker,'Bent, and Chandler, two each, and the remainder of the candidates have one apiece. IIIGG EST BLU FF. Twenty-three men have succeeded in giving the impression that they were making bluffs. Menkel must have been the most successful. for he receives twenty votes, Jay and Dolph are next with seven and six respectively, Howe and White have five eachg Schell has fourg Goldthwait and Holmes have three each, Birnie, Curtiss, Drake, Horton, Marvin, Mil- ler, and Timbie, two each, and the other eight men have one apiece. WORST BOOTLICK. Drake has things all his own way here, and completely eclipses all others by his wonder- ful poll of fifty-two votes, and Hayner, who is nearest him, gets only ten votes. The remain- ing candidates obtain only a few eachg Smith, threeg Marvin and Wakelin, two eachg Brown, Caskey, Howe, Menkel, Schell, and White each have one. ' WORST GRIND. I-Iayner, of course, wins this distinction, for which he has worked so persistently, although Brooks, who received eighteen votes, is only ten behind him. Kittredge is next with six, and Drake is close behind him with only one less. Ackerly and Loveless have three apiece, M. N. Clark and Gutelius have two each, and Broadhurst, Brown, Fitch, jay, and Timbie have one apiece. jay votcs for Peck, because H he is always working to catch up. WOR ST ' SPORT . Thirty fellows think Curtiss heads the list of sports, and so record their votes. Although -'Billy Schell votes for Curtiss, he says he is not a bad sport, and that we have none. Timbie takes second place with six votes, and Lane third with fourg Brooks, Tommy Clarke, Miller, each get three votes, and Hagen and Suifern have two apiece. The rest are scattering. THE CURRICULUM. Mosu' VALUAHLE COURSE. Twenty men state they have found P. S. IV to be the most valuable course. Nine uphold the merits of P. S. I. Theism and Philoso- phy each have eight worshippers, and the other courses in the order of their estimated value are, English VII, Prof. Goodrich's His- tory, Prof. Rice's History, Anatomy, English VIII, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Thomp- son Course, English V, Hygeine of the Home, Christian 1Evidences,and Peck asserts that the most valuable course is the H college course. FAVORITE COU RSE. English VII leads the list with thirteen votes, Chemistry takes second place with eleven, and Philosophy and Political Science IV are tied for third place with eight votes each. History III has five votes, History I, English VIII, and Biology have four each, Mathematics, Greek, and German each have three supporters, English X and Theism, two each, and Anat- omy, Geology, P. S. I., and Mr. Seeley's course is most attractive to one man apiece. Edmunds states as his favorite course, H Side Talks with Fakir. BIGGEST SNAP. Two men hold that there is none, nineteen declare for History I, ten for English VI, nine for English VIII, six for History IV, and four each for Biology I, and Philosophy IV. Two others say Livy's Elocution, one says Quamquam, and Edmunds says When 1 go broke. The rest differ widely in their opin- ions. - HARDEST COURSE. A Senior French and Sophomore Physics vie for the position of having caused the most soreheads. Freshman Greek and English V S4 WILLIAMS are close behind with nine and eight votes respectively, Political Science I has caused hardship to five meng Theism, to three, Anat- omy, English VI, German I, Mathematics I, and Physics Il have each caused two men to regret that such courses existed. Peck states that it is a tie between Mortonls French and chapel, BEST CONDUCTED DEPARTMENT. Chemistry is undoubtedly the best con- ducted department of Williams in the eyes of the present Senior class, as it received twenty- three votes. English, Latin, and Physics are next with six votes each. Political Science has tive votesg French and Mathematics draw four votes apiece. German and Greek each have three votes. Among the other depart- ments which receive votes as being efficiently conducted are the Dean's, the Library, Mr. Burr's course in Biblical Study, the Physical department, Astronomy, and Robbie's. HARDEST YEAR. Forty-three found Sophomore year most trying, while thirty had to exert themselves most strenuously Freshman year and two each found the work of junior and Senior years the most irksome. MOST VALUABLE YEAR . Forty-eight decide that they have obtained their most valuable knowledge Senior year, twenty-one declare for junior year, two for Sophomore year, and one for Freshman year. THE FACULTY. PLEASANTEST rnorizsson. Prof. Spring is so regarded by sixteen, Prof. Rice by fourteen, and Prof. Russell by COLLEGE. eleven. Prof. Hewitt, Prof. Clarke, and Prof. Wahl receive five votes each, Prof. Ferry, four, Prof. Morton, three, Prof. Wild, two, and Dr. Carter, Prof. Mather, Prof. Mears, Prof. Bullock, Dr. Perry, and Mr. Seeley, one each. One man votes ff Prof. Morton outside of recitations. . BEST TEACHER. Twenty vote for Dr. Carter, eight for Prof. Wild, seven each for Prof. Mears and Prof. Lefavour, six for Prof. Fernald, five each for Prof. Maxcy and Prof. Morton, three each for Dr. Hardy and Dr. Perry, two each for Dr. Bullock and Prof. Livingstone, and one each for Prof. l-Iewitt, Prof. Goodrich, Prof. Spring, Prof. Rice, Prof. Ferry, and Prof. Milham. FAVORITE PROFESSOR. Prof. Russell received sixteen votes, Prof. Spring eleven, Prof. Hewitt ten, Prof. Wild and Prof. Mears six each, Prof. Ferry five, Prof. Rice four, Prof. Bullock, Prof. Maxcy, and Prof. Goodrich three each, Prof. Perry and Prof. Morton two each, and Dr. Carter, Prof. Fernald, and Prof. Wahl one each. WHO HAS RATTLED YOU MOST? Wardwell is they only man to claim he has never been rattled. Prof. Lefavour has over- turned the mental equilibrium of thirty-eight of our numberg Prof. Fernald has caused eleven to doubt whether their soul was their owng and Dr. Carter has compelled nine to feel that they were absolutely ignorantg Prof. Wahl is dreaded most by three, Prof. Living- stone and Mr. Sutphen each by two, and Prof. Bascom, Prof. Mears, Prof. Morton, Prof. Bullock, and Mr. Cole, each by one. Peck says the chapel choir rattles him most: Friendship. fFrom the Williams Literary Monthly.1 As rivers subterranean All hid from mortal gaze, Stream in the bosom of the earth Deep through its mystic maze,- So currents clear of friendship true In human hearts do flow: Their crystal depths notall may pierce, Nor all 'their beauty know.

In ancient days, blind Homer used to pray The Muse of Song to aid him in his lay, And I, a Homer yet unknown to fame, Invoke her now, and call upon her name. September's gold was spread through all the land, A fairy picture lay on every hand, A dreamy mist enfolded each great hill, The peaceful earth lay calm. serene, and still As if, with summer's work complete at last She rested, dreading fierce King Winter's blast. Then to this land of ease and sweet repose There came a clan well-girt to meet its foes. From North they came, from South, from East, from West, A band of men picked from the broad world's est, Bill Cookson came from dear old England's clime, Land of the violet and of sweet thyme, From that fair land where seasons are the same, Where sings the darkey at his work, Judd came, Where sets the sun o 'er long, Pacific swells, In islands of the sea, Guy Dennett dwells, From where the gold lies heaped on hill and vale, Land of the bison, Dolph and Seeley hail, And thus from far and near they gathered all As, when of old, rang out the signal call, The Highland Scots from hill and vale and fen Together came within some hidden glen. Scarce had we come, and all untried our might. When rang the call that drew us to the fight. On Weston girt, but dreading yet the fray, The Sophs. took up their stand, like men at bay, The battle broke as with the ocean's roar Where beats the sea on some deserted shore. Three times they charged our gage of white and black, Three times, as wind the chaff, we hurled them back, For puny men were Nineteen Hundred's band, Men prone to talk, but rather lacking sand. And when at last the sun had sunk to rest, Nineteen Hundred's men had failed the test. And thus in peace and war we passed the days, And came to learn of Williams College ways, We came to know and fear Soc.'s awful frown, As when in savage glee he sat us down And marked, with joy, a zero in his book, Then there was Morton, too, who wore a look Of deepest joy whene'er he flunkecl a man, Orcgave him minus D on an exam., An Quamquam, too, who had the Latin classes, And talked and talked, and always waved his glasses, But through the darkness shot a ray of light, We had Hank Wild, who alway acted right. As, ages gone, the haughty Persian swore I'Ie 'd subjugate the Gree s from shore to shore, So Nineteen Hundred swore to make us yield And bend the knee upon the football field, But as the Greeks rose in their might and strength And drove the tyrant from their land at length, So Nineteen Hundred's team we smote right sore, This team which none had scored upon before. What need to tell the history of that day? How the Sophomores thought they had a walk away, And how they quickly found out their mistake, When but a single touchdown they could make. How Dolph and Cullie smashed that valiant line, And IJale went round the end, and gained each time, How Dick Street got the ball, tucked it away, Ran fifty yards, touched down, and saved the day. Should I rehearse the deeds that we have wrought, 'T would seem as though too much of praise we sought, So let us pass, as lightly as we may O'er Nineteen One's brave deeds upon that day So dear to every loyal Irishman, And yet so sad to Nineteen Hundred's clan, And let us e'en that goodly tale repress Of that strange box which came in by express, When Nineteen Hundred's bold and crafty band Instead of canes secured a box of- sand, Yes, let 's forget our enemies to-night, And drink the wine the song says makes hearts light, Let 's drink to Prexie's Christian Evidence, Let 's drain a glass to Morton's rasy French, And to the Dean, that kindly-hearted man, Who gives us Sundays off whene'er he can, To Grandpa Lane, who 's always late to class, And Smith, whose Royal Purple NONE surpass, And Pat, whose speech the day McKinley came Shall live forever on the page of fame, To Birnie, who, as current rumor tells, Has won the hearts of l3lackinton's fair belles, And Lyon, who told Prex. that john wrote all The gospels, not including that of Paul, And Moseley, too, who haunts, each Sunday night, Like some lost soul, the old North Ad. turnpike. Then let us to the dregs drain down a glass Of ruddy wine to our whole jolly class. True are her men, God bless them, every one, And, with that toast, at last my song is done. Arlhm' Lawson Goodzuz'Il1'e. U FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. 65 Freshman Class History. As rarely occurs in preparing the annals of a college class, there is opportunity in record- ing the history of IQOI for remarking the prehistoric conditions that impress themselves so strongly upon the character of any people. In early August of ,97, there appeared in the New York Ywbfuzc, an editorial on H Raising the Standard of Scholarship at Williams. After making mention of the proposed change in the entrance requirements, the article pro- ceeded to congratulate Williams upon her desire to maintain an excellent quality of work rather than a large number of students. Thus in the summer before this body had become a' class, a change was brought about, in consequence of which we are gathered to- night, the inlelleclualflawer of the land. Nor are we lacking in the other elements which go to make up a strong class in an up-to-date college. In athletics we are in the van and in the literary and curriculum work of the college we are developing men who will be capable of taking the lead. However, these undisputable evidences of progress are not unmixed with certain condi- tions of evil, for to whom much is given of him much is expected 5 and for many of us the pleasures of college fellowship have not been unmixed with the terrors of the H make up and the Hdeadly grind, especially in these latter days. The twenty-third of September, 1897, found most of the class of 1901 devoutly in attendance at morning chapel service. On that morning many obtained their first dread glimpse of that ominous creature, the Dean, and there was assurance given us by the suave cultivator of Greek Roots ffthat any inter- ference with our rights on the part of the aborigines would be promptly punished on presentation of proper legal evidence before the faculty courts-martial. This statement was swallowed with innocent awe. Then came the tirstvisitation and veneration of places and objects of interest both sacred and profane. All were granted due homage, from the Hay Stack monument and the bust of Garfield in the ofiice window of the Registrar Qwhich one youth mistook for a representation of the edi- tor of Selections from Herodotusnj to the pool room and I-Iaabs cafe. During this period of colonization, occa- sional predatory incursions of the natives had to be encountered. These were for the most part confined to Morgan Hall. There a band of savages bearing an alliterative H nom de guerre, hailing from the entry known as Sheol, who refused to remain on their reserva- tion, swept the frontier without interference, for a while. By Wednesday of the first week the class were all comfortably installed in their new homes, with the possible exception of that den- izen of the windy side of West, who had not yet made sure whether Freshmen were allowed to have storm windows or not. On that Wednesday the savage foe was met, -this time on the open plain without the friendly cover of darkness,-and routed. The' Freshmen did not win the baseball game that day because of unfavorable conditions, but in football our men showed marked superiority in play, although the score was a tie. Later as a result of some little difficulty between a pugnacious Sophomore and a non-apologetic Oregonian of the Freshman class--apparently over the use of profanity on the campus- occurred the first night rush. The class of IQOI does not uphold profanity, but it does uphold its own members and the result was another Sophomore defeat. The intellectual progress of the class during the term may be summed up under the follow- ing heads: 'n' radians:18o0, Euthymol is the best tooth preparation, and quamquam takes the indicative. ' The winter term was for the most part a period of mental activity under high pressure --from without. Anon by way of relaxation, the class attended the Thompson course of entertainments and absorbed its fill of classi- cal music and vaudeville. By this time three Freshmen had attained to the dignity of regu- lar members of the 'Varsity choir. In the Sabbath evening carol was mingled an added tone of boyish purity and freshness. March 16 and I7 are memorable days in Freshman annals, and this year especially so. The Roman emperor wished that the populace had but one neck that he might behead them all at once. For us the whole Sopho- more class became possessed of one vast rub- 66 WILLIAMS berneck. From the doughty patrolman of Watson's Corner with his policemanls billy and neck of the Farnese Hercules, to the at- tenuated but mighty wielder of the axe and would be incendiary, all displayed a perfect elasticity, and lasting resiliency that would make a Morgan and Wright bicycle tire green with-envy, There is need only to sketch rapidly the events of the day. In the first place the class appointed a committee to purchase some walk- ing sticks. These sticks were not to be used as mere canes, but were obtained as convenient instruments for pounding on the chapel floor to irritate the sophomores and Prex. and to be kept as souvenirs. How the box came from Troy and was captured by the brave Igoo men, how it was opened amid cheers, and burned amid fSophj tears and QFreshmenj jeers, are matters not merely of class but of college history. Noris it necessary but to mention the events of the seventeenth. Suffice it to say that the Oregonians and the husky boys with their youthful faces hardened into a grim H Remem- ber the fllainel' expression, and surrounded by a halo of Roman candle sparks, the better to display their tremendous and ever-present nerve, were grand and awe inspiring. Our orator, too, was not only in good voice but, contrary to some fears, was also in evi- dence at the appointed time. Right here it is fitting to record that in spite of the authors of Williams Sketches, who of course are granted COLLEGE. literary license, the man who was stored away under the bed to gather cobwebs and H bibe the fumes ll was not a Freshman but a very fresh Sophomore. We commenced the spring term with less than our fullquota, either because of sickness, departure for another college, or an overplus of-faculty red ink. The history of this half year may be suggested by the comprehen- sive term, ff Freshman French. In that term is implied, by connotation, all the weary grind and worry of the term. There is a moral in all history, and so in the history of the class of 1901, without any of the Hprechz'-prf:cka spirit we may discern a hidden truth. Our class has been well represented in foot- ball, baseball, and track athletics. Its men have been active in the literary work, the journalism, the debating, the musical, social, and religious eiibrt at Williams. There is no reason why we should not take the foremost position among the classes of the college. But we must remember that our success and strength as a class depend upon the spirit of unity and hearty fellowship which is mani- fested by individual members. Let us then resolve that when we meet again in cool September, beneath the shadows of the mountains, it will be with a firm purpose to stand shoulder to shoulder and work for the advancement of those principles of loyalty, fraternity, andintegrity which have made Wil- liams famous.

We meet together to-night as Juniors, as upperclass men, for the first time. The Soph- omore year belongs to the past. All exams. are ended, and we hope all are passed. Half of our college course is run, and the other half will glide by all too soon. Last September, under a blue sky, with the purple hills smiling down upon us, we gath- ered our clans and met again, after many weeks of separation, on that historic battle- ground, Weston Field. There we beheld for the first time the class of HNaughty-two. With folded arms and critical eyes we scanned their trembling and disordered ranks. There stood Wasey,--Wasey who made his class famous by attaching his name to the name of a well-known brand of scouringsoap, and then calling it the class yell. Egged on by H r9oo, in whose breasts still rankled the '- rubber of our Freshman year, the swaddled sucklings of H 1021, attempted mighty deeds. They began by hoisting a banner on the fiag- staff on Weston with their class numerals in- scribed on it in large letters. and then greased the pole. We procured an extension ladder and quickly and easily removed it, and then divided the spoils. This miscarriage of their first ff rubber was an ill omen for them, for, forced by circumstances and a good team we won the baseball game that afternoon. The Freshmen, exasperated by the taunts of the juniors that they were afraid of us, and goaded beyond endurance, finally tried conclu- sions with us in the rushes, and then they found we had had some previous experience, for we not only rushed them, but succeeded in recapturing the sweater, a feat rarely suc- cessful without the aid of the Seniors. Having initiated the Freshmen into some of our college customs, we forgot them for a while and turned our attention to weightier matters,-physics, for instance. At that time of the year the football season was on, and so the terminology of the game was often used with reference to our encounters with Pro- fessor Lefavour. The faculty had a strong player in Leffy, and he rushed our cen- ter so fiercely that he invariably broke through, and the touchdowns we scored were few and far between. Occasionally Cleveland and Hayner did good work by end plays, and thus advanced the ballg but Seeley, although a good player on the 'Varsity, was always out- playecl by H Leffy, ' and only by a trick play now and then did he gain for our side. Toward the end of the season assistant Pro- fessor Milham took -4 LefTy's place, ff Leffy having been disabled. Milham was not so heavy as H Letfy, not having any moustache as yet, but, nevertheless, a square and good player, who did the faculty eleven great credit. After a few weeks if Milly was replaced by Dr. Mendenhall. Dr. Mendenhall was charged with electricity at Johns Hopkins, and the CllrI'8l'1t7l of his talk was impossible to measure by any ammeter in use. His capacity was without limit, and the electro- motive force of his tes-ts was too prolonged for many of us. We bid you good-by, Dr. Mendenhall! We are glad to leave you now, though we should like to have done so long ago. No longer will your pith-ball lectures electrify us! No more will difference of potential light worry us! We have enough light for the present. The football game between our class and the Freshmen resulted in a tie, neither side scoring, although the referee, 'tis said, scored us, as did also the Seniors in allowing the Freshmen to smoke. The winter, or H serious season, as Profes- sor Morton terms it, passed away in a quiet labor, nothing of note occurring until about the fourth of March, when a great Y. M. C. A. revival seized the students of the college, especially those of the Sophomore class. So zealous were they that they deemed it neces- sary to hold midnight meetings in front of the H labs. Professor Milham became much in- terested in these gatherings, and, throwinga search-light on the scene, saw some H moving sights. The full accounts of these meetings were printed in the Weelcbf and intense excite- ment prevailed. Mr. Huntington, who was graduated from the Pinkerton Detective Agency with a H cum laude, personally inter- ested himself in this movement and in those connected with itg and, on behalf of the fac- ulty, who needed just about QISO for the 68 WILLIAMS equipment of the smoking-room of the new Y. M. C. A. building, solicited some thirty students forsubscriptions. Mr. Huntington's tenure of ofiice in Williams is at an end, and next fall his 'fshining morning face will be missed from our classic walls. When the revival became settled our atten- tion was drawn to the seventeenth of March. The shirt-tail parade became a love feast. It seemed as if that prophesied time had come, for the lion and the lamb, while they did not lie down together, nevertheless walked side by side. This meekness, however, was not due to any fear of ff 1900 'l or H 199,11 but be- cause we had given our word of honor not to rush until a certain place was reached. But ff fear did tread the halls of the Fresh- men, for with one wild dash they broke and scattered, and rushing them was out of the question. Our orator on that occasion well upheld the honor of the class, and his clever juggling of large jaw-breaking words overawed that funny man from Hinsdale, Si Cole. In athletics our class has taken a good stand, and we, too, have a goodly number of the wearers of the W, a fact which that modest publication, the 1900 Gul, seems to have overlooked. In baseball we are second in the league. In every department of col- lege activity our class is well represented, and has done creditable work. The Prom. was a social and financial success, and the committee deserves the praise of the class for its efficient labors. COLLEGE. Before closing, the historian would like to mention one thing which has given universal satisfaction in the college,-the disappearance of the Freshman hats. It was his privilege on May night, from a certain lofty seat. from which he was hauled clown a little later, to hear the Freshmen take the oath promising never to wear those hats again. They say G0odwillie's golfies in Freshman year used to talk, but these hats howled, and had a war- whoop distinctly their own. The historian was unable to find language of his own to ex- press the common sentiment as regards those articles of headgear, but was fortunate in lind- ing that a poet, one Birnie, had said all that could be said on the subject in a poem enti- tled HA Dream, which I quote Weekbf. from the Not long ago I dreamed a dream Of regions in the air, And in the throng about the gate, I saw a Freshman there. And as I watched I heard a voice From where Saint Peter sat, Depart, vile fiend, to realms below- You wore a Freshman hat I I. M. B. And now, assembled around the festal board, clothed with the dignity of upperclass- manship, let us resolve to do what we can, in the two years that still remain to us, to bring credit to our class, and glory and honor to our alma mater.

The blazing sun had hurled to earth his rays With angry violence, as if to smite The world that trembled 'neath his burning gaze, And begged the boon of night. But now the damp of evening roamed abroadg Like tears of pity fell the evening dew, And darkness, like a messenger from God, Blest all the world anew. But up the mountain rising in the East Wandered a traveler, seeking for a place Where, through the night, from toil and care re- leased, Peace would bestow her grace. Black as a silhouette against the sky, Looming before him like a spirit guest g Rearing its towering, cloud-capped summit high, Arose the mountain's crest. But as he hastened toward the shadowy height, Or slowly wandered up the rocky steep, Behold a grassy ledge, where, through the night, The weary one could sleep. And here he halted, while the evening breeze Whispered a night-song to the listening wood, Whispered a slumber-song among the trees Who heard and understood. Above shone languidly the sleepy moon, And round about were ranged the musing stars, Among them bright, the sentry-fires of June, Aldebaran and Mars. Below, the valley, in whose loving arms The trustful village lay at peace, and slept, And at her feet, arouse by no alarms, The silent river crept. And as the traveler, tired by the day, Looked o'er the scene, by peace of evening blest, He felt the calm that on the valley lay, And laid him down to rest. in on in an an So, comrades, at this peaceful trysting-place, We join together in a toast and song, We meet together for a little space, Forget the outer throng. Our four-year course is drawing to an end, Not far ahead looms up our mountain crest, And summer spirits softly round us bend And bid ur pause and rest. Above us rise the heights we must attain Ere we can reach the goal of our desire, The hazy summits that we seek to gain, That, beckoning, call us higher. Below we see the garden of the past, The glowing memory of the ended years, Where every pleasure warms the chilling blast, Which every pain endears. And chiefly since our college course began The days have been a round of joy and cheer, And friendly ties have fastened man to man, And crowned each closing year. The three years close with but one regret, That some who joined in many a bold affray, Whose doughty doings linger with us yet, Have fallen by the way. There 's Jimmie Ranger, who with worthy zest Behind the bat can put the world to shame, And Simmons, mighty of the mightiest In rush or football game. There gs Wood, the valiant, whose cock-fighting ame I-Iad spread to Pownal, Ad., and Blackinton, There 's Seeley, who amid a football game Could break his brother's thumb. Yes, these have left us, yet we can give thanks, Though we must turn down many an empty glass That 'o::'s become, from our ranks, A worthy Williams class. And one there is who wandered from the fold, Whose quick departure caused us sudden pain, But he, with herculanean efforts bold, Has joined his class again. 'Tis Johnnie Upham who the law invoked, Ere he would leave the class of '01, And left us only when grim Liffie croaked The fatal words Move on l Amid the gods of all mythology Who urged the ancients onward to the strife, In high Olympus somewhere there must be A god of college life. To him our hearts pour out this earnest prayer: From out the Future's misty, shadowy haze Bestow on Williams gifts divinely fair More Potters and more Brays. Send us some baseball pitchers like our Q, Send us a few more Lydeckers and Streets, A few more football victories, and a few New England athletic meets. N But ere our long petitioning is done, This final plea will still the fume and fuss, From Maxcy and from Dale and Livingstone, ' Good Lord deliver us! 70 WILLIAMS COLLEGE. if in rn in as The night draws on to its close, The fire burns low on the hearthg Apart from the world with its pains and its woes, From the toil and the turmoil of earth.

Horton tried his best to make chapel that first morning, but habit asserted itself and he entered as the choir was singing. Being denied the pleasure of rushing, the juniors have to content themselves with stir- ring up the excitement, and this they did a few days after college opened. What one of us will ever forget that night in front of West college when our classmate, Reggie White, sang a solo assisted in the chorus by the Freshmen class! But a ruling of the faculty put an un- timely end to this means of diversion. Our football team has been steadily improv- ing since we entered, and this year we turned out a team which was able to defeat our green rivals in Hanover. Five members ofthis team belonged to the class of IQOIQ although we were defeated by Wesleyan, the season on the whole was very successful. Returning from Christmas vacation we found the doors of jesup hall open to the student body. Since that time, but not without cut- ting many meals and giving up their dreams of keys. Mason and Timbie have become adepts in the art of billards and pool. On the morning of February 8, as the jani- tor ofthe Physical Lab. was making his early rounds, he discovered near the entrance ofthe dean's otiice a figure which proved to be jack As long as there lives a man to dream Of the wealth of the world of love, As long as the rivers shall run To hide in the deeps of the seag As long as the world shall encircle the sun, So long may our friendship bel This is the toast I propose, This is the word I pass- In this world of war may there be no foes To the new-born Senior class.

Unpleasant things are best to be forgotten, so I shall pass over the mid-years in which one of our number dropped by the wayside and was picked up by 1902, who have often proved the good Samaritan in like cases. The traditional slowness of the winter term was somewhat lightened by two indoor track meets, in which we won both relay races, des- pite the fact that the Senior team was com- posed of five wearers ofthe H W in Igoo. The college looked forward with the usual interest to St. Patrickls day, which is always welcome after the long period of inactivity. The programme did not differ materially from other years, but to the experienced eye of the juniors the rushes seemed rather tame and a little below the standard. The evening, how- ever,did not wholly lack interest, owing to the movements of the H light brigade, whose fre- quent charges will long be remembered by the visitors from the adjoining towns. It was in one of these engagements that one of our classmates received the cognomen of ff the baby elephant. We came back from Easter vacation to find the snow offthe ground and the baseball team out of doors, but it needs no historian to re- mind us of their work from that time to the end of the season. A PARTING WORD. 71 On the evening of the Ist of May the dormi- tories were shrouded in darkness, and out of doors the Seniors held full sway. Curtiss was honored with the appointment of May Queen. Shakespere says, H Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, and perhaps the queen's fall from her lofty throne was due to that cause. Another episode of that eventful evening was Wager's wonderful but unsuccessful attempt to impersonate a beam in order to escape the vigilance of some pursuing Seniors. The 30th of May was observed in the usual way. a victory over Amherst and the Gargoyle elections after the game. Another interesting event of that day was the appearance ofthe 1901 Gul. which, although a little late, was fully appreciated and considered far above the standard set by the two preceding editions. Having passed through the dreaded week of final-exams we now will enjoy a rest prepara- tory to our labors of Senior year. Let us hope that the faculty. who in preceding years have never shown us any mercy, may repent of their ways. and allow those of us who have with the aid of trots and tutors succeeded in struggling thus far. to complete the rest of our voyage in safety. -'Yuba M',l'lIfh7'0j5 bzbooner. A Parting Word. All but two of the men who were numbered among us last june returned in September to become Williams Seniors, to pass the last of the four years with one another among the Berkshire hills, and to find that year the short- est and most satisfactory of them all. As Seniors we have testified our loyalty to the college in various ways, and have allowed none of its interests to fail through lack of support. While the football eleven did not succeed in winning a championship banner, still Williamsls prestige in football is greater than it has been for several years, and the men of 1901 on the team may claim part of the credit for having achieved this. The entire class have given their heartiest support to the team, and under their leadership the largest delegation that ever accompanied a Williams team witnessed the victory at Amherst last fall. and another large crowd went to New York and cheered the men in the tie game with Columbia. For the fine showing made at the winter indoor meet with Columbia. the Senior class may also justly pride itself as being partly responsible. During the year the traditions of the college have been observed, and while we regret the loss ofthe two men who left us during the fall term, yet we are glad that the affairs of the college are in such a prosperous condition. The shirt-tail parade surpassed all others for the quiet and orderly manner in which the part of the programme which takes place around the bonfire was carried on. 'The only innovations made have been the establishment of the basket-ball team on a 'varsity basis. and the introduction of the rota- tion system of class colors. During the year, too, the 1901 Gargoyle presented to the col- lege a stone gargoyle to be held by 'the class which is victorious in the Sopl1omore-Fresh- man football game. The results of the spring activities cannot yet be predicted, but we have confidence in the men who have charge of them, and so have no fear as to the outcome. At any rate we are prepared to do our best for Williams throughout this last spring term. and when we leave the Berkshire college, it will be only in body, and our thoughts will ever turn with pleasantest recollection to the four years in which we have sojourned here.
