E51 6 GREETING TO PRESIDENT HOPKINS lt may seem hardly congruous that a class which is to graduate a few hours after the installation of the new President should take to itself the opportunity to extend to him a formal greeting. This greeting may appear too much like the superficial phrases heard at a crowded reception, where formulas of introduction are mingled with those of parting. Such words, it will perhaps be said, would be more appropriate either from those who know him better or from those who are looking forward to an association less transient. Yet from such a feeling springs the idea that with graduation the class of Nineteen Hundred and Two must close its history. Such an assumption is far from being correct. Great Britain years ago went to war to maintain the principle, Once an Englishman, always an Englishman. No effort of strenuous assertion is necessary to pro- claim the principle, Once a Williams man, always a Williams man, for it is a truth which none dispute. With its graduation the class of Nineteen Hundred and Two concludes its more active participa, tion in Williams life, but it enters at the same time another relation- Ship no less vital. None of those connected with the college are better acquainted with its needs and aspirations from the undergrad- Uate point of view. None will follow its history in the next few years Or watch the career of its new President more eagerly than they. None will more earnestly wish him success in upbuilding the institu- tion which is dear to us all. Though the acquaintance is but brief, united by a common feeling for a common Alma Mater the words rmg true. The class of Nineteen Hundred and Two appreciates the pleasure of extending to Dr. Hopkins the sincere welcome of the first class to graduate under him as President of Williams College. HJ 8 PHILANDER DERBY HODGMAN On the twenty-sixth of April, 1902, Philander Derby Hodgman died at the Infirmary after a short, but exceedingly painful illness of one week. From the first, most serious apprehensions had been felt as to his recovery and more than once had hope given way to despair in the hearts of those who watched beside him, yet so remarkably had he rallied from the most dangerous relapses, so tenacious had been his grip upon life, that it seemed as if, in the end, death must be fought off. When, therefore, the last sad news came, it brought with it a strange shock of surprise to those who had known and loved him. lt was hard to realize the truth. lt did not seem possible that we should see him no more nor hear the friendly greeting so familiar to us all. And the fact that he met his death so near the opening of the last term of our college course, when after our four years of comrade- Ship together we were each one looking eagerly forward to larger work and new responsibilities-this brought home with peculiar em- phasis the inexplicable and tragic elements of the event. Philander Derby Hodgman was born in Gardner, Massachusetts, April 14, 1879. At the time of his death, therefore he was just twenty-three years of age. He was prepared for college at Cushing Academy, Ashburnham, and entered Williams in 1898 with the class Of 1902. His interests in undergraduate activities were several and varied. Besides serving on more than one class committee and being 21 member of the Banjo Club, he' played for all four years upon the Class baseball team and had been elected captain for the season of 1902. His positions had been pitcher and right field. In his Freshman year he played right-end on the class football eleven. He was a member of the A. K. 16. Fraternity. Hodgman was a man of singularly winning manners. ln all his relations he was genial, unassuming, and considerate of others. For everyone he had a good word, and those who had been with him knew that he would speak as kindly of them in their absence as in their presence. His generous nature and unfailing good spirits won for him a friend in every man who met him. Somewhat reserved and difiident, he never sought for himself a large circle of intimate friendsg E91 . PHILANDER DERBY HODGMAN nor did he often reveal to others the deeper seriousness and maturity of his nature. Some there were, however, whom he admitted into this closer intimacy of acquaintance and to them he was known not only as a man of winning and lovable personality, but as one marked by intellectual integrity, noble ambition, and high, manly purpose. From him much might reasonably be expected in the coming years. Had we not been directly informed of the fact, yet we should have known without further assurance-for we knew him-that he bore the intense suttering of his last sickness with the most heroic and uncomplaining fortitude, tenderly considerate to the end, of those who with breaking hearts, watched beside his bed, and never allowing him- self to give thoughtless expression to discouragement or pain. Of such stuti' are the heroes of this world made-men who in the common life of every day are found generous, courteous, modest, dignified, and manly, men who, when the occasion demands it, accept hardest conditions-death, if it must be-without cowardice, hesitation, or complaint. Such men are not at all times justly esti- mated nor appreciated, but when the time of their trial comes, then we see them at their true worth. HARRY JAMES SMITH. . . Thy sad farewell sublimes our love for thee, Up-gathered first of those that welcomed day. For we are humanized that thou did'st pray For little children's sake and those at sea, And for a dawn of endless purity. A new life sped thee on the upward way, And over all the hills and valleys lay, Symbolical of God's etemity. Dear classmate, though beyond all sight or sound, Thy comrades left thee sleeping underground g The see thee from thy tribula ion rise, And, stand before the throne with robes all white, With no more thirst, or heat, or tearful night, For God has wiped all tears from out thine eyes.

It can hardly have escaped your reflection, that there is much which, though it still belongs to you, you cannot take with you, much which we should regret to lose were you able to take it with you. It is the influence of what you have done, nay, rather of what you have been during these four years in this place, that is the part of you we shall always keep: it is more than your names that will remain here when you are gone: it is this part of yourselves that is your permanent contribution to the life of our College. We are glad of thisg we are grateful to you for this your services to your College. You have made the best things in the College stronger: you have set more securely the higher standards of a college man's life. It is because you have done these things, that we shall miss youg and, were your relations to the College to end here, we should much regret your going away 3 but the College and you do not part here. We permit our- selves to say in speech and in song, that the graduating class goes away from College, that the Seniors have gone out from their alma mater, into the wide, wide world 5 that is so little of the truth that it is hardly true at all. Your graduation is only your promotion to-the larger membership of the College. That connection with the College into which you enter when you come here is only deepened and made more vital by your en- trance into the goodly fellowship of its Alumni. Once surely in this fam- ily you cannot go out from it. Your alma mater cannot forget you, or cease to be affected by whatever you do or whatever befalls you in all your coming years. The opportunities that were opened to you when you came to this place were not small, the induence you leave behind you is not inconsiderableg but there open to you now, opportunities for service to your College greater than these you have had there 5 and there remains a greater service possible to you than all you have been able to do through your fidelity and loyalty as students. A College is more largely known from the set of men who go out from it than from the character of the men who are in it. Now and then, a teacher by eminent scholarship or by distinguished ability as an educator gives distinction to this Collegeg but it is chiefly the achieve- ments of its graduates in scholarship, in professional careers, in business or public life, on which rests the fame of a College, and its claim to pub- lic recognition and support. These larger possibilities of achieving the things most to be desired in life, are at the same time your opportunities to serve your College. 51543 SERVICE Your successes if honorable are our gains. Any honors that may come to you come to our alma mater through you, the lustre of any distin- guished names you may bear, will be shed on the College to which you will ever belong. If your lives shall stand for whatsoever things are honor- able and true and of good report, you will by your fidelity to these things strengthen these same things among us here, If you hold fast your allegiance to high ideals, you will make those ideals shine the clearer for your younger brethern who succeed you. If, in short, you continue to live manly lives, you will help to mainL tain here in the College those traditions that are our prosperity and our honor if we faithfully keep them. Sincerely yours, JOHN E. RUSSELL SERVICE There is great receptive power in man, and an equally exhaustless power of giving in the world about him, yet the two have only rarely and partially been brought into successful interaction. The capacity of man for receiving has been more frequently like that of a vessel with a large interior chamber, indeed, but with only a coutemptible orifice through which it might be Blled. The giving power of the world, on the other hand, has been like that of s shallow ocean under no pressure in which the driest things might be immersed with only the slowest absorption. Hungry men have wandered in tropical forests and found hardly enough to eat: naked men have been in a world of fur and fieeces, of silk, cotton and linen fibre, and still shivered with the cold. Indeed, ingenious men have constructed a theory of the world full of this very intent and temper of starvation. Men are so prolific and the world so niggardly, that with starved lips they press the breast of nature and secure only one drop where twenty are needed. Yet the fact remains, the world has inexhaustible resources of giving, and is breaking in on us constantly with some new power and strange luxury for body or mind which she is ready to confer. The secret of the difficulty between nature and rnau seems to be in the fact that she conditions all her gifts on skill and good-will. These granted, and there is no measure to her bestowmentg she will not, however, let her gifts be trampled under foot-pearls before. swine. It is men that she will' feed, men that she will clotheg spirits of beauty and power to whom she will disclose her magnificent and consolatory things. f155l ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS We are coming to understand this relation on the side of skill, and are going at the defenses of nature as those who are ready to pick the lock, and make the accumulated treasure their own. The second con- dition, that of good-will, is still hidden from us. And yet it is good-will only that turns treasure trove into spiritual wealthg that makes things hold open the heart to all lightg that turns life into a blossom full of fragrance, full of beauty and in fellowship with the whole sphere of being. Even the sunfish, just beginng to simulate life, must, swimming in the sea, have its mantle distended and put in sympathetic undulation with the great deep about it. Man seems to think he can suck up, as one drop, pleasure, like honey from a flower, and be fed. Not so! The world will not keep that one drop sweet. It will make it rancid and distasteful on the tongue. The world feeds armies, feeds races, feeds the whole human household, and by ever renewed power of sympathetic life keeps all wholesome, makes the five loaves and two small fishes grow with the hunger and the thankfulness and the joy of those who feed on them. I would wish to say, as a last word to the class of 1902, Do not expect to have or to hold the world selfishly. It will illude you, and leave you poor, no matter what your wealth. Enter sympathetically into, and make your own the poverty and the sorrow of the world, its joys, its hopes and its rewardsg and before you are well aware of it, you will find such treasures poured at your feet, such affection for life and large par- ticipation in it, as you have not thought of. If the flower opens, the light will deal grandly and gently with it. He that is greatest among you let him be as the younger: and lie that is chief as he that doth serve. It is the spirit of service that finds the spiritual realm and is set in motion by itg the spirit of service that is in interplay with all the giving power of the world. jour! BAscoM RELIGIOUS LIFE To describe the so-called religious activities of a college or a class is a comparatively easy task. To portray the religious life of any set of men is a far different matter. Not only is religion not a thing which can be weighed or measured and thus the amount which each of us possesses be definitely assigned, but college men are generally so reticent in showing what religious feelings they do have that any judgment is difficult. An estimate of the religious life of Nineteen Hundred and Two must necessarily be very indefinite or very inadequate. . lf156l ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS One thing is certain, this, like every other class, has had far more religious life than that which has shown itself in any set channels. The need of a strong, effective character is a strictly religious need, and it is the need of every man. Hence anything which has affected the making of such a character has been a part of the religious life of the class. Every long evening's talk on the mysteries which we as young men are coming to face, every sunny afteruoon's walk when groping thoughts have been revealed to friend and fellow-seeker, every manly resolve, every attempt to help another make or keep such resolves, have been a part of the spiritual life of the class. It is a part which all have known to some degree and which has had results as lasting as anything which we have experienced together. This very important part of the religious life of the class it is im- possible to estimate. We can judge only by outward evidences, and not perfectly by those, because the limitations and conditions with each man cannot be known. Anyone who has become intimately acquainted with the members of the class will feel that, like most of those in college, they are as a whole a group with high aspirations for straightforward lives, with sincere purposes of friendship and service to their fellows, with ready sympathy for all that is strong and wholesome. Mistakes each have made, but could the secrets of all hearts be known, many a rnan who has not even thought of himself as a religious man would be found with the fundamentals of a very earnest and real spiritual ex- perience. This must never be lost sight of in any estimate of the class. Nor is this said to discount any recognized form of religious activity such as that of the college Young Men's Christian Association. lt is a fact of practical psychology that a religious life to be strong must find some positive expression. The college Christian Association offers an opportunity for such necessary expression, and is the more important because it is the only voluntary undergraduate institution for this purpose. In Association work Nineteen Hundred and Two has taken a prominent part. Most of the members of the class have been actively identified with this work or have given it their support. Unlike many classes few, if any, of its members have opposed the Association. As for the definite forms of Christian activity, the class has taken the usual part in keeping up the regular meetings and classes of the Association and in the work in outlying districts. The meetings on various professions, held during the fall of Senior year, were especially well attended by men who were deciding on their future course or wished H1571 ' 1061 'IAIVHL 'I'IVELI.O0.':I NOIJIAIVHD ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS information about it. The short after-meetings, following the regular Sunday evening meetings, have been attended by some of the class who have in them found a chance frankly to acknowledge purposes which they have formed. Those who have been actively identified with Association work look upon it as one of the most vital parts of their college course. A religious census in any true meaning of the word is impossible. But could such records have been taken when we entered college and now as we graduate they would show with most a distinct growth in that part of our natures which is called spiritual. As we go out to different surroundings and opportunities may it be with increased ability to help meI1 in the things which grip their lives most deeply. Such may be the possibility of each, such is the high calling of all. ROWLAND HAYNES ATHLETICS WEARERS on THE W IN 1902 Cole, Ely, Emerson, Everdell, Graves, Harmon, Heffernan, Jaeckel, Jeffrey, Lawrence Leighton, Mossmau, 0'Neil1, Spencer, Steel, Towne, Wilbur. SOMETIME MEMBERS Howe, Johnson, Ranger, Simmons. Wells. FOOTBALL If a class may be characterized by the name of a branch of athletics in which it has been prominent, then indeed has I9o2 been a football class. From the first day of practice in the fall of '98 it was plainly evident to the college that in 1902 was to be found an abundant source of future strength and present help, for although Simmons was our only representative on the 'Vx-Irsity, yet the second team, upon which the 'Varsity is always in a large measure dependent for its successful development, was composed almost entirely of I902 men. Simmons came to ns as a legacy from Igor, but so whole heartedly did he enter into the spirit of our class, so loyally did he advance the interests of 1902, so little did his attitude resemble that shilly shally wavering devotion which too often characterizes men entering one class from another, that he not only kept the respect and hearty admiration of his former classmates, but also Won a place in our hearts that no other man has filled. He was one of the best tackles in the American colleges and simply to recall his election ,to the captaincy of the team Junior year is sufiicient tribute to his acknowledged ability. f159J ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS O'Neill, through his brilliant work last fall in leading the team to victory and the championship, stands out as one of the most eflicient generals a Williams football team has ever had. His, loyal persevering effort, his indomitable purpose to turn out a victorious eleven, were no more than deservedly rewarded by the team which outplayed Columbia and Dartmouth at every point and swamped Amherst and Wesleyan., To single out individual men in the class of this year's team would take more space than is afforded this brief sketch. but the names of O'Neill, Graves, Cole, Lawrence, Wilbur, jaeckel, Mossman. Leighton, Spencer, all members of the fastest team that ever represented Williams, will be inseparably bound in the remembrance of the college with the championship of the fall of xgox. But the writer feels that the grit and noble consistent effort of the class in the football field can be no more forcibly illustrated than by the work of men like Dick Steel, and, take it as a whole, it is not so much on account of our strength in numbers of prominent football men that our title to the name of a football class has been confirmed, but rather on account of the pluck and sand, the loyal Williams spirit of self- sacriicing devotion to the cause of our alms mater, culminating this year in the triumph of a championship that has marked the work of 1902 upon-'the gridiron. J. W. JEFFREY BASEBALL Baseball in IQO2 has had a varied course, and as to the class team we may say a checkered one. In Freshman year, with Ludlam as captain, we found last place in the class series rather easily, winning but one game. We put, however, two strong representatives in the champion- ship 'Varsity team, Heffernan and Ranger, the former playing left field, the latter catching. There was one thing the class team did do, and that was beat the Amherst Freshmen by a large score. In Sophomore year, the class team under the able captaincy of Bassett, succeeded in trying for second place. We still had our two representatives on the 'Varsity, Heffernan now playing in the infield and putting up by far the best game of any man on the team. In Junior year, the college and Captain Lydecker found themselves in apparently bad shape. Who could fill the places of Seaver and Risley? Naturally they looked to the x9o2 class team, and there the men were found to fill these vacant places. Lawrence took his position in left field and Jeffrey adorned first base and both played a very creditable game. The class team, though captained by Holmes, ably assisted by Simmons, whose wonderful throws from deep left Held over the back 51601 ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS stop and brook will never be equalled in the records of the college, took another most decided slump. We had lost our singer, grand piano Yarnelle, who played right field in all sorts of styles. During this, our Junior year, the most deplorable event both to our alma mater and our class happened-Heffernan one of the strongest and best all around players Williams has ever had was protested by our too envious rivals, and so withdrew from the championship games. He played in all the outside games, however, and who will ever forget the plucky way in which he won the Harvard game that year. Senior year Heff was elected captain but resigned, reasoning that it would be better for his college, inasmuch as he could not play in the championship games. Jeffrey was elected to iill his place, and, though it is rather early to predict, it is safe to say that under Jeff's able and conscientious generalship, we will have a most successful season. In fine, our baseball career is most pleasing to look back upon. We have had our share of men on the 'Varsity and though less than our share of victories in the class series, our class games have always been marked by most unique plays and superb cheering. WILLIAM EVERDELL, Ja. TRACK It may be said that r9o2 has been actively concerned with the four best years of a new and distinctive era in Williams Track Athletics. Six years ago our ambition was merely to come out of the Triangular meet with credit. There had been up to this time no attempt for first honors in the larger competition of such associations as the New England Intercollegiate Athletic Association. 1897 was the first year that our team ever participated with really any other idea than to pick up one or two medals and we won third place. The next year was not so successful and we finished only tifth. It was not until our Freshman year that Williams took the promi- nent place in track athletics she has since maintained. Our team of X899 secured second place in a very close and exciting meet at Worcester which was only lost us by the decision of the referee on a techuicality in one of the closing events of the day. This year we won, as we had the previous year, the Triangular meet, though Dartmouth failing to send a team, it was in fact merely adual contest with Amherst. :goo found us still stronger' and we finished this, the most successful season in the history of Williams track athletics, with both the Triangular and New 51611 ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS England Intercollegiate championships to our credit. Last year we were again successful at Worcester but failed to secure the Triangular championship-the first time it had been lost in three years. In the winter work which has become such an important branch of track athletics, we have been even more successful. We have each year been the winners in the relay race with Amherst at the Boston Athletic Club games in Boston. Captain O'Neill has been a member of the team the last two years, and it was his fine heaclwork and magnificent running that won the applause in the Mechanics Building this winter and gave us another victory over Amherst in one of the most exciting relay races ever witnessed by anyone. This new era has been the result of a general awakening in all branches of athletics, and the impetus has come in large measure from the abilities of such men as Bray and Potter, but the continued success may be attributed to the labors of every individual on the team -under careful attention of the trainer. Our victories have in almost every instance been won by well balanced teams and I902 has played no unim- portant part in their make up. Wells won his W Freshman year at Worcester in the bicycle race. On this same team we had two more W men, Harmon in the high hurdles and Towne in the hammer, both of whom won their letter in these events in the triangular meet at Amherst. On the rgoo team which won for the first time the New England Intercollegiate meet for Williams, Johnson, Howe and Wells were three of the ten point winners. johnson now holds the college record in the shot-put, while Wells and Howe excelled in the bicycle race and pole vault respectively. We were unfortunate enough to' lose all three of these men at the end of Sophomore year. Last year we had three new point winners at Worcester, however, O'Neill in the quarter, Emerson in the 220, and Steele in the mile run. , We have already spoken of the magnificent running of Captain O'Neill on the relay team. And now we come to the last year and we hope the best year of our four. The winter work we know about, but what we have in store for us this spring you can only get from this source in the way of prophecy. Under the able captaincy of O'Neil1 and the careful training of Mr. Seeley the men are fast rounding into that form which has so many times in the last three years won for us so many championships. We may not win any this year, but if we do not we must acknowledge that some one of our rivals pitted against us the best team they ever had. J. B. Env 51623 ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS LITERARY WORK I Any one might think from reading the review of our athletics that the class of 1902 had spent its energies solely in that line of college activities, but such is not the case. Under the editorship of the 1902 board, all but one of whom were members of the Senior class, the Lil. has taken a very high place among the college magazines. If the number of accepted articles is not so large as preceding classes can boast of, their literary quality is of a sufficiently high order to counter- balance the lack in quantity. Previous to the time of the retirement ofthe Senior editors, 1902 furnished 23 per cent of the entire number of articles printed. H. J. Smith led off with a story in the March number of Freshman year. Haynes was second with a story in November of Sophomore year, and he was followed by Riggs, Little and Leonard in the sarne year. Erskine, Stanley and Towne did not begin to write until Junior year, and Wood- bridge waiteduntil Senior year. H. J. Smith has-to his credit twenty prose articles and ten verse, Riggs thirteen prose? Haynes ten prose and one verse 5 Little six prose and two verse 3 Stanley five prose. Outside of the board, Leonard, Towne and Woodbridge contributed at different times. H. J. Smith's articles entitled A means to an end took first prize Sophomore year. Smith, Riggs and Haynes made the board Sophomore year, and Little, Erskine, and Stanley, Junior year. H. J. Smith was elected chairman for Senior year. If the Weekly, under the management of the 1902 board has not been all that might be desired, it is because so many of our talented men did not begin to write until late in the course. The few 1902 men who were on the board have worked hard to keep the paper up to its previous high standard. Not a few times has it been instrumental through its editor- ials and Stroller department in bringing about reforms, for which the college at large feels duly grateful. As a chronicler of college news it has been efficient and accurate. Haynes gave evidence of his literary ability early in Freshman year and was elected to the board in the spring of that year. Leonard, Stanley and Wheelock were taken on Sophomore year. Stanley, was elected ,editor-in-chief and Leonard assistant editor-in-chief for the season of IQOIHIQO2. In many respects our Gul. ontclasses its immediate predecessors. It departs from many time-worn customs and is as a whole a very satis- factory publication. It reflects the careful, diligent work of the' board H631 ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS and especially of chairman Haynes. The literary editors were Haynes, Harmon, H. J. Smith, and Riggs. The art editors, Erskine and Steel. The drawings are a very prominent feature of the book, and to Erskine, we are indebted for the larger part of them. GEORGE LAVERN LEIGH MUSIC 1902 is decidedly a musical class. At our first class meetings we showed both our college spirit and natural musical ability by singing the college songs. One of our first memorable clubs was the organiza- tion of that notable body, the H1902 Quartetten composed of Erskine, jeffrey, Yarnellc and Simmons. This aggregation was in great demand and frequently made glad the fair sex of South Williamstown and the High School. Freshman year we had ten men on the clubs, also three on the Chapel Choir. Both Glee Club and Chapel Choir owed much to Simmon's deep bass voice and the solos of Yarnelle. Sophomore year we increased our membership on the clubs to fourteen men and practically were the whole thing on the Choir, having furnished that aggregation with seven men. It might be added that we are as ashamed of it as they are. It was at the end of this year that the musical interests of the college sustained a severe loss when Nellie left us for a business career. Junior year we came to the front and gave the clubs two excellent leaders, Erskine '02 of the Mandolin Club, and Ely '02 of the Banjo Club. Both men turned out good clubs and the success of the year can to a large extent be attributed to 1902. This year the clubs have been materially changed. The Banjo Club has been given up as a separate organization and consolidated with the Mandolin Club. We have also introduced a string orchestra under the leadership of Erskine '02 and it has met with great success. This orchestra, composed of nine men, has by hard and consistent practice been easily the best of our attractions and it is to be hoped that the succeeding classes will keep up the organization. The Glee Club as led by W. P. Smith '02, has done especially well and for the first time since our advent in college it has been an evenly balanced club. The lack of tenors which has hindered us in the past has been overcome this year, and in the abundance of good material which marked the club, 1902 has held the foremost place. As usual the Mandolin Club has been excellent. Erskine '02 has kept this department up to the high standard it attained under his If164J ACTIVITIES OF THE CLASS leadership last year. This has been especially diflicult, due to the increased membership, for the club has numbered twenty-two this year against sixteen last year. To sum the whole matter up, l902'S musical career has been one of credit to herself and the college, and it can be fairly stated that in this most important branch of college activity we have more than held our own. HUGH C. LEIGHTON DRAMATICS Our class has been represented on Cap and Bells by Berking, Clark, Dorr, Erskine, Hummel, Hyde, Pumpelly, Wells and Yarnelleg Berking, Erskine and Hyde serving in the capacity of managers. Dorr, Puznpelly and Wells made the club Freshman year, Dorr and Pumpelly being cast in the first performances, Dorr, as Cicely Wellington in Cicely's Cavalier and Pumpelly as Adelaide in A Cyclone for a Cent. They impersonated the characters of charming young women, their work being of a high order. Later they appeared as Kate Hard- castle and Constance Neville in She Stoops to Conquer. Dorr has also appeared as Kitty Gaythorne in Cut Off With a Shilling, while Pumpelly's best work during his course has been as Miss Ash- ford in the Private Secretary. Wells's work upon the club was as end man in tl1e minstrels. Clark and Yarnelle made the club, Sophomore year, and both were cast in 'Deacon Iohnson. Yarnelle, as Helen Johnson, made a charming college girl and added much to the production by his solos. Clark, as William Tarboll, was a typical dashing collegian. The fact that these men left college the end of Sophomore year was a severe loss to Cap and Bells. Hummel made the club Junior year. His impersonation of Mrs. Glib in Christopher, Jia, is deserving of especial mention, and that too much curriculum work should have prevented his being cast Senior year, is to be most heartily regretted. . The club owes much to James A. Hatch, 1903, for the able manner in which he has piloted Cap and Bells through the past season, and the club is further to be congratulated upon having Messrs. Perry, '98, and Gillette, ex-'99, upon its coaching staff. MAX BROMBACHER BERKING lf165fI ACTIVITES OF THE CLASS DEBATING About thirty of our number are members of the two debating socie- ties and much interest in debating has been shown by the class. Our strongest representative upon the intercollegiate debating 'teams has been Haynes. Freshman year he was chosen as alternate upon the team to debate with Dartmouthg his work upon that team delighted his colleagues and was extraordinary in quality and quantity alike. Sopho- more and Junior years he was a regular member of the teams which debated with Dartmouth. and this year he is leader of the team which will debate with Dartmouth at Williamstown, May 16. In his debating Haynes is remarkable for great clearness of thought, force of expression and strength of rebuttal. ' Mosher was a member of the team which met Wesleyan last fall at Middletown. His work shows always carefulness and thoroughness in preparation. His debate at Middletown showed clear thought and forceful arrangement. Leonard is alternate upon the team which will meet Dartmouth this spring, and is doing a great amount of the sort of work that counts. Others of us have aspired to places upon the inter- collegiate debating teams and several, in addition to those mentioned above have made the preliminary debates: Edson was upon the Dart- mouth preliminaries Freshman year 9 Hatt debated in the Dartmouth pre- liminaries Sophomore yearg Junior year Hummel made the Dartmouth, and Wheelock and Spencer the Wesleyan preliminariesg Senior year, Mosher, Whipple and Wills were upon the Dartmouth prelimiuaries. When 1902 entered college Williams had but one intercollegiate de- bate yearly whereas she now has two. The unusual amount of debating talent in 1902 and 1903 has enabled her to meet the increased demands creditably 3 but the material in the two under classes is as yet undeveloped, and unless there is a decided increase of interest in debating in these classes there is danger that after the graduation of 1902 and 1903 the standard at Williams will not be maintained. The problem of arousing interest is a perplexing one. Many Eastern colleges recognize debating by giving the members of their teams the privilege of wearing the col- lege initial with crossed gavels upon their capsg Dartmouth and Wes- leyan, the colleges with which we compete are in this number. Accord- ingly, successful competition with these colleges is very diiieult for Williams, for in them debating is given greater prominence and men who can debate have a greater incentive to make the team. It seems that the time has come for Williams more fittiugly to recognize the service done her by her debaters. Men who represent the college in H661 ELECTION RESULTS athletics are given the W and are recognized in other ways. Men who represent the college in our only contest of an intellectual nature are given no reward except the debating medalg and a medal is sold and worn so much like the one given debaters that this is losing significance. The number of men upon our debating teams is not large and the men who make the teams in a competition open to the whole college are worthy ofagreater distinction, than they now receive and one more likely to inspire interest and endeavor along debating lines. No other inter- collegiate contest calls upon its participants for such self-sacrifice. The period of preparation is very long and tryingg the work is enormous, incessant, often tedious and dull, and does not give recreation nor afford the pleasure which one gets in athletics. Debating is also one of' the most important of intercollegiate contests: with a very large and im-' portant class of people the reputation of the college is determined to a great extent by the success of its debating teams. Williams has never been ungrateful to the sons who have brought her honor and glory and I feel confident that the need has only to be brought to her notice to be answered. WILLIAM L. SPENCER THE CLASS MOST POPULAR MAN Everrlell wins with nineteen votes, though Berking is but three votes behind. Haynes takes third place with eleven votes, and Jeffrey follows with seven, which is one better than Lawrence receives. O'Neill, Seeley' and Taylor draw one vote each. BRIGHTEST MAN. The interest centres mainly about two men, Harmon and O'Neill. Hummel takes third followed by Mills, Haynes and Parker. The votes stand, twenty-tive, twenty-one, seven, four, three and two respectively. ' BEST NATURED MAN Cole heads the list with thirteen votes, Lawrence captures second place with one better than Mossman, who receives nine votes. Taylor makes a fair showing with seven, Clarke follows with four and Holmes has two. The tive remaining go to Berking, Boland, Dorr, Mosher and Steel. HANDSOMEST MAN t The class has eleven different conceptions of handsome. Twenty- seven select Cole as the highest paragon of beauty which the material under consideration affords. Ten see in jeffrey their par excellence, f167J ELECTION RESULTS eight cast their votes for Everdell, five vote for Hauxhurst, while eight others divide their choice equally between Emerson and Lawrence. Har- mon, Hummel, Leighton, Pumpelly and Slade have one admirer apiece. BEST DRESSED MAN Gay and Parker are hopeless loosers with one vote each: Cole, Ers- kine, Hatt and Leighton receive each one vote better. Hauxhurst and Slade poll three votes apiece, Harmon gets five and Everdell six, while Jeffrey wins out with thirteen. ' SOCIAL LEADER Jeffrey also has no difiiculty in maintaining the most prominent social position, since he outstrips by five votes his two most formidable opponents, Everdell and Pumpelly, who receive ten votes each. Erskine follows closely with nine, Lynde has six, Slade and Phil Smith tie for next place with four, and the remaining votes are divided between Leighton, Riggs, McMahon and Parker. WHO HAS DONE MOST FOR WILLIAMS O'Neil1 almost doubles the second largest vote, receiving thirty-five and Haynes eighteen. Berking and jeffrey receive nine and four respec. tively. MOST VERSATILE Haynes wins with a margin of six votes over O'Neill, who receives eighteen. Lawrence takes third place with four votes better than Ers- kine's four. There is no choice between Cole, Dorr, Hummel, Harry Smith, Towne and Taylor, who poll an aggregate of six. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Haynes has the most successful future before him with twenty votes to his credit. Berking's business capacity has left its impress upon the minds of thirteen, while eleven others put fullest confidence in O'Neill's future career. jeffrey gets five votes, Hummel, Leigh, and D. P. Smith two each, and five others receive one vote a apiece. WINNER OF CLASS CUP I There is general diversity of opinion and the lot rests upon one of nineteen candidates. Palmer is finally the fortunate choice and draws eleven votes. Foster and George Green tie for second place with seven, and tive votes each give Riggs and Towne no mutual advantage. Four 51683 ELECTION RESULTS votes tie Harmon and Spencer for fourth place. Ely, Leigh, Little and Taylor draw three votes each 0'Neill and Pickard two, while Erskine, Holmes, Lynde and McMahon are hopelessly outelassed and can claim but one vote each. BIGGEST BLUFF Leighton carries off the honor with fourteen votes, jaeckel is second with seven and hard pushed by Everdell with six. Towne cannot exon- erate himself from the charge of simulated knowledge, with five votes as witnesses against him. Riggs draws four votes and the remaining seven- teen are scattered among as many men. WORST BOOTLICK Harry Smith says Pumpelly is the best and Dorr the worst. At all events these are the two most popular candidates. Dorr nearly triples Pumpelly's vote by the ratio of 38 to I3. Wheelock is strongly sus- pected by four men, Pickard takes fourth place with two votes, and jaeckel, Leonard, H. J. Smith, W. P. Smith, and Williams receive one WORST GRIND This coveted honor, of course, goes to Dorr who has striven so hard for the distinctiong twenty-three votes win him the prize. George Green receives fourteen and Leonard follows with ten votes. Eight fall to Spencer, Pumpelly is accountable for four, Elmer Green, Heffernan, Mossman, McMahon, Taylor and Woodbridge each have one. CLASS SPORT Jeffrey says we haven't any sports but the majority disagree with this and thirty-three vote for Seeley. Taylor takes second place with twelve, Leighton has five, Adams and I-Iatt three each, and the remaining go to Bassett, Leonard and Woodbridge. CLASS DOLL Purnpelly leads the list with twenty-six votes, Hatt is second with twenty-two, McMahon has four, Erskine, Lyude and Riggs draw three each, while Adams, Barnes and Heffernan get one apiece. apiece. THE FACULTY FAVORITE PROFESSOR Prof. Russell is the choice of one half the class and takes the fore- most place. Dr. Bascom receives niue votes, Prof. Mears eight, Prof. 51691 ELECTION RESULTS Hewitt five and Dr. Kellogg four. Prof. Maxcy, Prof. Wild and Dr. Howard receive two votes each. Prof. Morton, Dr. Ferry, Dr. Munro, Dr. Hardy and Mr. Dickinson have one apiece. BEST TEACHER Prof. Mears heads the list with fourteen votes, Prof. Maxcy receives thirteen, Dr. Bascom eleven, Prof. Lefavour ten, Dr. Munro eight and Prof. Wild three. Dr. Hardy and Dr. Ferry have two votes each, and Prof. Hewitt, Prof. Morton, Prof. Bullock and Dr. Kellogg get one each. PLEASANTBT PROFESSOR Nineteen men vote for Prof. Russell as their choice. Thirteen cast their votes for Prof. Morton, Prof. Spring receives thirteen, Dr. Ferry eight, Profs. Hewitt and Rice get four each. One vote goes t0 each of the following: Prof. Clarke, Dr. Milham, Prof. Maxcy, Prof. Wahl, Dr. Kellogg, Prof. Mears and Dr. Cleland. , WHO HAS RATTLED YOU MOST? Stanley has composedly withstood every onslaught and cooly answers no one. jeffrey and Hatt are non-committal and thus assert the stability of their mental equilibrium uuder rapid Ere. Prof. Le- favour has caused the temporary derangement of forty-four niinclsg Prof. Morton has cowered the valiant hearts of eight supposedly im- mutable soulsg Prof. Fernald has converted five pairs of cerebral hemi- spheres into seething vortices. Prof. Mears has convinced six men that their thoughts lacked the proper bonds of afiinityg Prof- Wahl. Dr. Hardy and Mr. Burr are each credited with having dumbfounded one man, while Ely confesses that Mrs. Bemis has rattled him the most. THE CURRICULUM MOST VALUABLE COURSE Sociology leads with fifteen adherents, Biology comes next in order with six. Five men decide upon P. S. 4. P. S. 5, Philosophy, History, Physics, P. S. I and English 7 have three votes each. Chemistry 2, Greek I and Biology 2 have two votes each. Anatomy, Eng. 5, History, Art Elective, Business Corporations, Greek, Architecture, and Romance Civilization receive one each. One man says none get paying divi- dends.

A large number of subjects have scattered votes. HARDEST YEAR Sophomore Wins over Freshman year by a plurality of two votes, the result being thirty and twenty-eight respectively. junior has impressed six as the hardest, while Senior has afforded all but three, some relaxa- tion from mental exertion. I MOST VALUABLE YEAR - Fifty-six have decided that Senior year has surpassed the rest in merit of value. Eleven claim this superiority for Junior year. Two vote for Sophomore, and Freshman year is not in the contest. , WORST GRIND French has been productive of the most Hunks with their attendant woes if the opinions of twenty-five men are considered. Physics is assigned second place with thirteen votes, Greek I follows with eleven. Three men decide upon German, while no less than a dozen subjects receive a vote apiece. 51713 OUR OPINIONS RELIGIOUS FAITHS There are twenty Congregationalists, fifteen Presbyterians and thirteen Episcopalians in the class. Four of our number are Baptists, four Methodists, four Catholics, two Uuitarians, and one belongs, to the Reformed Dutch Church. One man acknowledges that he is a Pro. tcstant, one says he is a Christian, and one claims to be an Agnostic. All but sixteen in the class are church members. ADMISSIONS Only six men have an entirely spotless record on the smoking habit, but thirty are willing to acknowledge that they are addicted to smoking. One man attempting to dodge the question says Hintermittantly, while another frankly confesses continually. Thirty-nine are doubtless strictly honest in asserting that they smoke regularly. Sixty-two men play cards but several are familiar with hearts only. Few play nothing but whist and one man admits authors. Fifteen presume to be entirely innocent of the great American game and seven never indulge in card playing at all. Fifty-ve men study on Sunday, but in most cases this is an excep- tion, not a general rule. Extreme pressure induces several to thus desecrate the Sabbath occasionally. One man has a free conscience because he takes French 4. One says, and perhaps with veracity, if at all. Forty men study in chapel under certain conditions. Many are governed by situation and much depends upon who occupies the box. One man says too near the pulpit, another occupying the rear too near the faculty. Too much noise accompanies one negative answer, the choir makes me too nervous, another. POLITICAL CONVICTIONS In spite of the arguments in the classroom brought to bear against Protection, forty-nine members of the class prefer to stand by the Re- publican party. Of the remaining, seven express no political preference, five are enthusiastic Prohibitionists, four are Democrats, two are In- dependents, one is a Mugwump, one still adheres to the ancient party of Know Nothings, and one is a Maine :Prohibitionist CLeightonj. Twenty-two have already exercised their right of suffrage while forty- seven have yet to initiate themselves into this particular function of American citizenship.

JOHNSON Class Poem ----- ROWLAND HAYNES FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ONE YEAR'S LEAF FROM THE HISTORY on THE CLASS on I9o2- THE GREEN LEAF. To chronicle the events of a year as full as the one just drawing to a close has been, to tit into the appropriate niche of memory a lasting tablet bearing in legible print the record of those events which have bound us so together, this is the task you have assigned to me,--I am to tear a leaf out of the autobiography of this class of ours, the one which I find iirst after the preface which we found ready made for us when Ebie Parsons bound the pages of the book together,-and read it, that is all. You will all, of course, remember Macauley's definition of history, Philosophy teaching by examples . There can be no occasion for that historian of 1902, whose province it is to treat of hcr Freshman year, to quarrel with that definition. I make bold to assume, even thus early in our Sophomore year, to insist that 1902 is pre-eminently qualified to meet the requirements of any standard and to furnish examples of it. To begin with, ninety-seven fellows,-Scattered all over between the two oceans which used to form the boundaries of this country, had the requisite good sense to determine, almost simultaneously, that Williams was the actual superior of any other college since the days of Noah and the ark, and reached God's ampitheater in the Berkshires at practically one and the same time. That time, to be exact, and historians must be exact, was the day on which the Class of 1902 started her Freshman career,-a career the rounded period of which we commemorate this I 1831 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY evening. It soon transpired that we dropped in on the Faculty and the other classes just in time for a whole lot of things. Of course they didu't any of them know us well, and there was a number of unpleasant occurrences that we have established our character for dignity and large mindedness by persistently overlooking and, ultimately, I fervently hope and trust forgetting-for instance, we were instantly described as Naughty, Too . You see the class that had preceded us had made the unenviable reputation of a Naughty One , and distinctions were not being as nicely drawn as we are led to hope they will be in the future. We were peaceable enough at first, and sufficiently observant of estab- lished rule and custom to permit last year's Sophomore class to win the first baseball game. We had gone into the contest good natnredly and in a jocose spirit almost, costuming some of our players most grotesquely, and when the other classes seemed to enter into the spirit of the thing we allowed them to monopolize the diamond and do all manner of things that to us seemed foolish at the time. But they took advantage of our even, sunny temper, and we soon saw we must teach them afew lessons in behavior and, if necessary, chastise them a time or two, or seven eight. We, therefore, entered studiously upon the discharge of our more dignified social duties, and first of all consented that a reception should be tendered us by Prexy. This was such an unparalleled success that the Y. M. C. A. essayed a function similar in name but not in characteristics. You see we had allracled the attention of what was then known as the better element . As a class we were of a noticeably religious bent. We had, to a man, attended chapel at our christening, and had continued to do so to such a commendable extent, that I may say we frequently showed a marked preference for the food spiritual over the food tem- poral. It is a service, humble perhaps and open to improvement in many respects, but nevertheless a service to which we have devoted many morning hours, and one we would not miss. It cuts us to the heart to miss it, even when we must. As I say, we became of such good repute, that the vain-glorious class which had been born into the college world full two years before its time, declined to meet us at the monument where our superiority would have been determined once for all. With a foolhardiness which is more to be pitied than it is to be censured, they have rushed to seven or eight notorious defeats. 'T is pity, that I know, but pity 'tis, 'tis true . They even went so far as to run around the gridiron with a pigskin, as they had probably seen the 'Varsity do, in a vain attempt to roll up a score just one wee point larger than was ours, but the goal was not for them to reach. l1s9l FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY During winter term there came newer and perhaps stranger ex- periences, but we have since learned that they are not rare. All this time there had been attached to the Faculty a fungus growth. Of course I say this with all respect-in fact, it ought to be made of record that the estimate which previous classes has handed down to us of that august body, so called because it is at its best sometime during july or August, had to be much altered,'but that tale is for other lips to tell. But this fungus growth, this tale to the kite, this midwinter night's dream, is now passed into history. There is a saying of Dr. Strong's, to the effect that God takes care of infants, fools and the United States- and perhaps it is enough to say that Huntington has been taken to one of those asylums. It was during the bleak and dismal winter days we learned to know him and some of the others best, as our dogeared books of reference will show, and to some of us the acquaintance was not all that could be desired. At the close of it all, it was a condition and not a theory that confronted us , as Mr. Cleveland is credited with saying, and some of us quoted these words to our fond and once admiri ing parents, as we told them the dignity and sense of the manhood that was in us made us prefer to stay at home, as Dr. Parsons had suggested, to going back to the place where Huntington was. Some of us regarded it differently, however, and were kindhearted enough to wish he might conveniently be where it was warmer, much warmer, during those wintry trying days. But by and by the arbutns bloomed again, and the honeysuckle and violet made merry in their time. The Gul came out and feathered her nest and everything felt the loosening bonds of spring. It was even time for the shirt-tail parade and for 1902 to raise cain-and raise canes she proceeded to do. Now raising canes is not like raising corn or potatoes, by any means, nor even as easy as raising money when you or your class team needs it, although it is easy enough as far as 1902 has anything to do with it. Canes are raised as follows: You first notify the Sophomores you are going to raise them-then they notify you that you are not-after that everything is easy. You order them made in New York. You have them shipped about nine days ahead of time to Hinsdale, in an immense cask or hogshead, labeled glassware, and deliver them there to Cole and the rest of your committee: then you hunt up some Sophomores and let them know just about how nearly raised the canes are, what condition they are in, and their precise loca- tion, as far as the Sophomores are able to appreciate the information, or as far as, in your judgment, it is best they should know. Then you H1901 F RESHMAN CLASS HISTORY repack the canes, or what the Sophomores suppose to be the canes, -in different boxes, let them sort of see these boxes and smell of them, as you would scentabait with a retriever pup, of course the analogy is rather a poor one, and then bring the canes into Williamstown in broad daylight and distribute them while the Sophomores are sleeping off their fruitless night watch for the different sorts of boxes you scared them with. This is known as raising cane, and if you don't think its easy when you know how, ask the class of Igor. After our ability as agriculturists was demonstrated thus, we were encouraged by everybody in whatever we attempted and were eminently successful besides. I may even say we have won the position we now maintain, on our merits. We are present in every walk in college life. Is all the world a stage? Then 1902 Stoops to Conquer her position on that stage and claims the honors won for her in the Williams College Dramatic performances. Is the contest in the forum? Then 1902 brings forward her chosen orators of The 'Logian and The 'Technian, and claims recognition for the poet of this evening, Haynes, who coped with Dartmouth's best. Is it music weaves the spell? Then we know her best by Foster, Erskine, Palmer, Yarnelle-and by Lawrence too and Ely and Spencer and Johnson. On the gridiron, in the field, there is our pennant too which never would have been ours without the beautiful efforts of Heffernan and Ranger. Nor shall we ever forget the work of Towne and Wells and Harmon and Johnson at the triangular meet, with a total of sixteen points out of the winning sixty-four rolled up to Williams' credit. For good fellowship, hale, hearty, well-met Williams men all, loyal to the backbone, and with plenty of that, we commend any, each and all of the fellows of 1902, and, when we shake the farewell hand to-night, this happy occasion over, we are going, I know I speak for each of you, hurriedly over the hills and across the mountains beyond them, some of us, determined through all these summer weeks, to take our part as example , if Macaulay insists, in a demonstration that Williams College, dear old Williams College, makes men, men physically, men mentally, men of honor, of the fellows who will lend themselves to her efforts: in one word-she makes us gentlemen.

And this tribe was called by the name of 1902 or the Freshman tribe. Verily from the four corners of the earth where they gathered, a chosen few, from Maine to Oregon, from Schaghticoke to Skaneateles. Numbered by the hand of Ebie, the Mighty , they were five-score and four, and they were fresh with lf192J SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY the freshness of the morning dew, and green with the greenness of the waving grass. Of divers shapes were they, and of all degrees of great- ness and smallness, and upon some the hayseed sprouted abundantly and some were tersely called hot stuff . About the third night a mighty outcry arose on the green sward calling the tribes to confiict. And the Freshman tribe rushed forth with eagerness as to a dog fight, and like sons of Anak they smote their energies hip and thigh, and crumpled them in their wrath, so that the miserable Sophomores were sore chagrined and vexed. Howbeit, at the next day at the annual festival of the hurling of the sphere, the Freshmen did fall upon the higher tribe again and did strain and push mightily, forcing them from the face of the earth, leaving but shreds of hair and torn garments as a sign of their opponents. And all the tribes of the college saw and marveled and listened gravely to chosen silver- tongued orators from the Freshmen. Some were allowed to amuse their elders in manifold ways, and they were allowed to sing carols and paeans of joy. And it followed that for a course of several weeks the Sophomores did pay friendly visits unto the Freshmen in which the 1902 tribe sang anthems and did other things of an entertaining nature for the diver- tisement of their visitors. Moreover all these visits by night many strange things were unfolded, yes, even the sweet-voiced Warbler Yarnelle, and the rosy cheeks of the fat Wells 5 Towne with his infinite cunning upon his brass horn Q curly-headed Jaeckel, and others of lesser talent. The Freshmen bided their time and swore dire vengeance upon their iniquitous visitors. Then the leaves fell and the frosts came on apace, and it waxed cold and dismal in the village among the hills. But soon the festive time of the Turk drew nigh, and eleven men of 'oz strove with eleven men of 'or in a maiming orgy, but naught came of the struggle and at length they desisted from weariness. Then the Freshmen went to their homes with enlarged heads and deflated chests, for verily, they were college men upon a vacation. And it came to pass that the snows descended and the winds blew and the country was covered with the mantle of winter. Then the tribes climbed laboriously the mount of knowledge with slnggard step and sighed for the green hills and summer clouds, for verily, there was nothing doing. But soon the celebration of. the saint came swiftly on, and with cunning and foresight the Freshmen brought their staffs into N931 SOPHOIVIORE CLASS HISTORY the town, accompanied by strange taunting cries of Rubber, Sophs ! and Back to the woods! . Lo! On the 17th day of the month marched the lowest tribe with garments of pure white and downcast mien, in solemn reverence to the saint. Two by two they walked to the sound of weird sounding brass and stringed instruments. Then their pure garments were rent iu twain by rude hands and men of learning were hearkened unto. After this peace reigned between the tribes. Then in time the sun shone and the birds sang and the Freshmen blossomed forth with queer helmets of orange. The remainder of the college scoffed and jeered but the '02 tribe cared not a whit but smiled complacently, for verily, they were fresh as new-laid paint, but they took pride in each other and had exceeding much spirit. Oft they hied themselves to the pasture called Weston and did applaud the playing of their tribesmen, Ranger and Heffernan, with the older sphere-hurlers. Still the sun shone and the earth was green, but wailing and gnash- ing of teeth in the tribe, for the time of the annual exams. was upon them. And the sound of a mighty grinding arose as they sharpened their wits for the fray. Seven fell by the wayside and folded their tents and silently stole away, but the rest of the tribe did feed upon the exams. and was fat and sleek. Then lo! and they were scattered afar to their homes and the tribe of Naughty-two were Freshmen no longer. 'lf D I I If I' 5 Q 7 l' The season's roll soon brought to pass a new college year. In place of the strong old tribe of '99 came the babes of 'o3. Indeed the new Sophomores regarded them with contempt. And here and there familiar faces were missing in the ranks of 'oz and gaps were evident. But the tribe saw the gaps and because of them drew closer together. They girded up their loins for the trial of skill with '03 in running and jumping. Yea, the scribe will pass by with hurried quill over the un- welcome issue. Many times visits by night according to custom were made unto the newest tribe. And many danced and sang and performed other strange things called stunts and were sacrificed by Warbler Yarnelle on the altar of science. Verily, the success of the kickers of the pigskin in vanquishing the Philistines from Amherst by the count of 38 points to o for the accursed Philistines, was largely due to stalwart men from 'o2-- sons of Anak such as Simmons, Graves, Lawrence and O' Neill. By them the Philistines were dragged by the hair ingloriously in the mud, while H941 JUNIOR SUPPER the college waxed merry on the side-lines. And what tribe ever had a record like '02, when every man but four borrowed the necessary Shekels and hied himself to Middletown? Then winter again made white the hills and again there was nothing doing. For the Freshmen had the spirit of sheep and were not bellicose by nature. Neither were there more Y. M. C. A. buildings requiring change of location, Over the battles with 'o3, the scribe passes as un- worthy of notice, for the festival of the shirt was tame, and verily, '03 were in the language of the day, easy meat. But soon came again the days of ice-cream and strawberry-shortcake, and the tribe covered itself with honor by its great ceremony of the annual wiggling of the feet, albeit the committee got stuck. And maidens from far and near of wondrous complexion and beauty were gathered for the wiggling and verily, the men of '02 chiseled frozen HQO. Again on the Held called Weston they cheered their tribesmen to another championship over the nation of Wesleyan and the Philistines of Amherst. The exams. drew on apace andQmany wore the grave look of worry, for were they not compelled to perspire looking through strange glasses under the tutelage of a fat Pharisee, and also to smell of various evil-smelling bottles? But verily, they are passed into the state of junior-hood, and are gathered here to-night with good cheer to celebrate. After to-night, vacation, and then-who knows what cares and vexations fall to the lot of upperclassxnen? The scribe leans back, drops the quill, and then must bestir himself to 6nd out from fellow tribesman, Georgie Hatt, the most fashionable color in the nether gar, ments of corduroy. ROYAL E. T.

Williams' JUNIOR CLASS POEM Another year has gone its way, The crowded way of all the earth, And we once more are met to-day To fill the air with song and mirth. Upon the road to pause awhile And bring to mind the by-gone year, To count the road-stones mile by mile And bring the farthest of them near. Then here's a health to 1902, The jolliest, light-hearted crew Of fellows that you ever knew. Now till up'full your clinking glass And drink it to the dear old class Whom no proud rival can surpass. Fellows! How short a time ago it seems When, full of golden-tinted, splendid dreams, We talked of college plans, and of the ways Whereby we hoped to win a meed of praise. And I quoth one, In spite of all I do NRY STANLEY Upon the field, shall never lose from view, That to my studies Erst of all I owe The best I have, I'l1 let the trivial go. 51963 JUNIOR CLASS POEM Another said Well I can't go a stiff, I think I'1l try and get a little whiff Of what life is 3-not that I'll be sport 5 ,U But just one of the darn-goodzfellow sort. 'I And still a third, My meaning is to spend My highest energies to make a friend-- A lifelong friend, of every kind professor 5 He'l1 be the greater light and I the lesser. ' And as we came and saw the place of dreams, Of golden dreams made in our childish past, How strange it was! It made our hearts beat fast With new experience and stranger themes. There was a sense of freedom in it all, For when we heard a near-hy window smash Or saw a well-timed pail of water splash, And heard the soaked upon the soakers call, Ah. this is college life ! we said in glee And half in fear, and longed ourselves to share In those heroic sports, yet did not dare For fear of Soph'more notoriety. -i I' I U' 'I' 'I' I- I- M' How all the hurrying months have slipped away. How things have changed ! How old loves yield to new, And how the growing friendship's firm and true Have come to mean far more than we can say ! Foras we end this third year of our course And stand between the past and the to-be, I know that what means most to you and me And that which holds ns with the greatest force Is just these dear old friendships. May they last As long as life itself and stronger grow As years of work and hurry come and go, And to old scenes and days e'er hold ns fast. And when we gather for our final year, For one more year before a last good-bye, May we have let all petty. feelings die, And any jealousy and any fear. lf197fI RETROSECTIV E And with a joy of comradeships iniilled May we not work together one and all - For her best good, whom lovingly we call Our Mother Dear and seek her fame to buildg And may we learn a deeper smypathy A true appreciation for each other, So that when brother bids farewell to brother He may not feel regret for what might be, But was not. For we raised a bar Between ourselves and him, and lived apart, Nor saw the deeper treasure in some heart That though so near our own yet dwelt afar. So shall this life at college have au end, Forever to recall with joy and pride, A time when men were true and truly tried And when we learned the meaning of a friend. HARRY JAMES SMITH RETROSPECT IVE Four years ago most of us met each other and our college for the first time. As we have come to know each other better year by year, as we have put forth more loyal and effective effort for Williams year by year, we have learned to appreciate more fully the value of friendships, and have become more deeply sensible of the signihcance of service to our college. As a class our experiences have been varied and in many respects we feel that we have been the subject of unusual experiment both in faculty and administrative rules. However, we have thus far survived the many trying ordeals to which we have been subjected. We have valiantly run the gauntlet from a Huntington to a Ransmeier. We have admired and drunk in the resistless logic of our favorite teacher, Prof. Russell, and listened with awe and admiration to the eloquence of Dr. Bascomg and who of us can say he has not gained immeasurably by these varied re- lations with his teachers even from the least unto the greatest. Our numbers have decreased materially since our first term. At the beginning of Sophomore year they had diminished fully one-fifth. The loss of Yarnelle, Johnson and Wells at the close of Sophomore year, seemed H931 RETROSPECTIVE irreparable at first, but as time progressed development within ourselves partly compensated for this misfortune. We shall long remember the parting words of Simmons at the Class Supper last June and we realized what a leader we had lost when we assembled here last September and Sim was not among us. With each successive season since the fall of '98 we have seen Williams take a higher standing among American colleges in football, and we feel justly proud that the championship came once more to our college as a testimony of improvement on the gridiron during our own college course. Though success was due in great measure to our own contribu- tion to the winning team, we can not overestimate the brilliant work of the representatives of the other classes on the memorable eleven of 1901. Scarcely one man can be mentioned as deserving greater credit than another, for every man did his best, yet Captain O' Neill surely possessed the genuine secret of combining brains with brawn in a most effective way. . We have a much smaller proportion of baseball material among us but quality makes good any deficit in quantity. We trust that our last opportunity to assist in bringing another baseball pennant to Williams will be successful. Many of our number have taken an active interest in the Y. M. C. A. The earnest and persistent service on the part of Rowland Haynes in be- half of true Christian fellowship has not been without its influence and reward. Haynes has also led the class and college in debating interests. Our Senior year though in many respects our pleasantest, has been darkened by the death of our classmate, Hodgman. This sad event, coming as it did but a few days after Professor Fernald's death, cast a deepening gloom upon the college then mourning the loss of its loyal teacher and friend. Hodgman's death was a crushing blow to the class, the saddest experience of our life at Williams. It will be hard for us to become reconciled to this severe loss and we shall ever cherish the memory of one so dear to us all. Our connections with other classes have always been pleasant and we are confident that the pleasures and associations derived from these class relationships have been mutually beneicial. A new era seems to be dawning for Williams, and, although we may not be direct partakers in the many blessings soon to come, we rejoice none the less at the prosperity in store for our dear old college. H991 ' RETROSPECTIVE We have, then, stood not only upon the side lines but in the very arena ol' action and helped old Williams on to victory. We have cheered her in defeat. Since the fall of '98 we have labored together loyally as sons of our alma mater and now our college days at Williamstown are fast drawing to a close. Time surges on with its resistless beat al- though we would stay its progress to prolong the happy associations which have here been instilled into our lives. We must accept the in- evitable and take diverging paths toward the varied goals of our indi- vidual aspirations. May we not, however, look upon our exit from these college halls, and this beautiful valley with its purple hills as a decisive step, not to be retracted, but may we leave free and easy access to our alma mater, the happy memories of which, will ever intensify, as time goes on, our deep and vital love for Williams.
