In compiling the following pages we have acted in accordance with our best ideas and have been little guided by previous Sheff. compilations as regards form, arrangement and matters of statistical interest. Our aim has been to furnish as accurate a record of the achievements of the class as the informa- tion handed in would permit, omitti: g that class of incidents best handled by the Class Historians. Two heliotype groups have been introduced, surnames have been substituted for initials, and in many minor particulars eiforts have been made to improve upon preceding publications of the same nature, and to stamp the book with a certain cachet of individuality. Our acknowledgments are due to Mr. Howard L. Isbell for the prepossessing exterior of the book. ' That the '88 S. Class Book may have been successful in gathering up our achievements and experiences. and in winding a string of narrative around them, which shall indelibly engrave them upon our memories, and which shall meet with the approval of the class is the desire of r THE STATISTICIAN S. YALE Unrvansrrr, May 1, 1888. 4 EIGHTY-EIGHT S. S. S. A VIEW OF HER COLLEGE COURSE. FRESI-IMAN YEAR. At twelve o'clock on the morning of September twenty-fourth, 1885, there assembled in room thirty-seven, North Sheflield Hall, ninety-three young men, who had collected from fourteen states and territories and two foreign countries, to learn what they could at the Sheffield Scientific School. It was the lirst meeting of the class of '88, whose course is now almost completed. It was the beginning of our college life. Prof. Brewer, in the absence of Prof. Brush, was acting director. He told ns what would be expected in the way of conduct, informed us that Prof. Mixter would be our class officer, announced the text books for the first term, distributed the schedules of recitation hours and divided the class into two divisions. The first division consisted of Alexander to Johnson, inclusive, and the second the remainder of the class. At eight o'clock Friday morning we attended the first 1'ecitation, and thereafter our course has been checkered with alternate flanks and rushes WVe took up Analytics at the beginning of the term, leaving Spherical Trigonometry till later, thus reversing the usual order of things. On Saturday evening, in response to the polite invitation of the Seniors, about fifty of us assembled in front of South Sheff, and, marshaled by the Seniors in high hats and linen dusters, marched down Grove to,Orange and out Orange toward East Rock. Meanwhile the Juniors had gathered at North Sheff and from there proceeded to the junction of Humphrey and Orange streets, where they awaited our approach. Here the opposing columns met. No one wl1o was in the general confusion which followed knows what hap- pened, but the News said that we won, and we are satisfied with 6 Yale '88 tl1eir verdict. The crowd then pushed on to the vacant lot below, where, aftel' we had defeated the juniors in another push rush, a ring was formed and the wrestling began. Appleton, '86, was chosen referee. The Juniors presented Judson for the heavy-weight bout and we put up Carter against him. The contest was a very excit- ing one, Judson winning the first fall, Carter the second and Judson the third, after a hard struggle. Coleman, '87, and Reed, '87, threw Bull and Le Sassier twice in succession in the light and feather-weight wrestling. In both cases the Juniors outweighed their opponents. The shirt rush which followed was the most suc- cessful of its kind, and the spoils were about evenly divided. We got along very pleasantly with the Juniors for the rest of the year, and only a VGI'y few of us were taken out. The following Monday Franchot was elected President 'of the boat club and Davison, Secretary and Treasurer. Later in the year Davison resigned and Pratt was elected in his place. Dann was captain of the Freshman -nine, and Dann, p., Davol, l. f., Greer, 2d b.. and Osborn, c., played in the Freshman-Sophomore game. The Sophomores won by ascore of four to three, but they declined to rush, and we marched home in a body and took the Freshman fence. This act, however, aroused the Sophomores, and our seats were quickly made untenable. Bull, No. 1, Bond, No. 23 Dockendorf, No. 3, Carter, No. 45 Stewart, No.5 5 Franchot, stroke, and Esterbrook, coxswain, repre- sented Sheff in the Fall races, which, for the first time in three years, were 1'owed on Lake Saltonstall. Our hopes were high, but the long listof Academic victories remained unbroken, and we were defeated by fifteen seconds. Nothing of particular interest, classwise, happened during the remainder of the year. Our class oflicers were: Davison, presi- dent, Carter, vice-president, and Prouty, secretary. Davison won the mile walk and second prize in the board jump at the Fall games. Bull, Le Sassier, Osborn, Pratt and Wilcox, played on the Freshman eleven, and Bull and Carter played on the University eleven in the game in which Lamar's famous run lost the champion- ship for Yale. During all this time we were swinging clubs in the Gymnasium, and about twenty of us were :reciting Latin to Prof. Wheeler three times a week. In December an accident at the Art School destroyed our portfolios and injured the drawings which represented hours of tedious labor in the basement of the Art School. i Class Book. 7 At Christmas we were examined in German and Analytics, and when college opened again began Gem-lings Deutche Lesebuchj' read Die Sechs Diener and stumbled over the iambic-pentamater lines of Die Teilung der Erdef' In January Bull, Pratt and YOUNG went to New York to select a cane for the class, and Shigemi began to lecture to the people of New Haven on The Manners and Customs of the Japanese? The '87 Junior promenade occurred on the night of February ninth, and on the evening of February twenty-first there appeared all over town those '88 S. posters. The next morning, headed by a band and accompanied by '89, we paraded through the principal streets with our banners, serenaded Proi'.Brcwer,Cady's and Nott's, and showed the college the proper way to celebrate YVashington's birthday. i During the first week in March the winter games were held in the old gymnasium and our class was well represented. Le Sassier and Stewart were on the Sheff. tug-of-war team,fwhich won the University championship. SAGE won the light weight sparring, defeating Rogers 2893 Bean won the feather weight wrestling, Davison the light weight wrestling, Carter defeated Gill '89 in the heavy weight wrestling. Stewart and Bond '86 S., gave an exhibition on the horizontal bar. C. B. Berger, C. E. Curtis and Moore had been appointed to the editorial boards of the Rec- ord, Courant and News respectively. Later in the same month came that memorable day. when twenty of the second division cut Prof. YVheeler's recitation in a body, and received two zeros, and were deprived of two cuts for so doing. Then as the time for the Easter recess drew near we began to prepare for our first final examinations. Chemistry, Analytics, English, and the first half of Physics were what troubled us and proved stumbling blocks to several. The Easter recess came' and went and left us plodding along in the same track, except that Botany and Physical Geography were substituted for Chemistry and English. Ten succeeded in making Prof. Eaton believe they knew something about Botany, and were excused from recitations. Meanwhile. athletics were booming. The challenge of the con- solidated Freshman crew had been accepted by both Harvard and Columbia, and the triple race was a certainty. Stewart was captain -of the crew, several,Shefi1 men were trying for positions and the in- terest was great. Davison, C. B. Berger and Goetchius were winners in the Freshman games at the Field 3 and Carter, Franchot, Stewart. 8 Yale '88 and Wilcox were in the Freshman boat. Again the races were held at Lake Saltonstall, and again they were a grand success. Four crews were entered in the eight-cared shell race-University, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman. It was a pretty race, and all four crews crossed the line inside of nine seconds, '87 leading in 11m.- 3-tsl, closely followed by the University and '89. The '89 crew consisted of: 1. Wilcox, '88 S., 2. Gill, 895 3. WVe1ls, '89, 4. Buchanan, '89, 5. Mosle, '89, 6. Franchot, '88 S3 7. Carter, '88 S.g stroke and captain, Stewart, '88 S., coxswain, Ames, '89, average weight 158 lbs. The class nine which had promised so much in the fall didn't develop successfully in the spring. The material was good but the assistant captain had no control over his men and they observed no strict training. A number of practice games were played, in which we were fairly successful, but when the nine met Harvard at Cambridge, they met a disastrous defeat, losing the game by the score of eleven to four. Davol, Greer, G. Mason and Osborn took part in this game. After the game we were royally entertained by the Harvard Freshmen. In the spring athletic games, Davison was again the winner in the mile walk, and C. B. Berger, although defeated by Ludington '87, broke the Yale record in the one hundred and twenty yards hurdle race and secured a very close second. I-Ie was put back a yard for a false start, other- wise he might have won the event. The Mott Haven games followedhin a few days. Yale by the questionable decision of the referee, lost the one hundred yards' dash and the cup. O. B. Berger, Davison and Goetchius were among the entries but none of them secured a place in the finals. Stewart was on tl1e tug-of-war team and -Le Sassier was substitute. During all this time the University nine had been working hard and the struggle for the championship was half over. Yale, Har- vard and Princeton were tied for first place. Stewart and Brig- ham, two of Yale's best men, were disabled and in this crippled condition the nine went to Princeton on June 2d. Dann caught Stagg's pitching without an error, and Osborn played second base. Yale won in the last inning by the score of nine to eight. The news of the victory reached New Haven about five o'clock, and in an hour the campus was a scene of the wildest excitement. Fire crackers and bombs were exploded and repeated cheers were given. At eleven o'clock the nine arrived in New Haven, and were es- corted to the colleges by a band and four hundred students. A huge bonfire was lighted and the celebration continued till long Class Boolc. 9 after midnight. The Faculty, however, objected to the celebration and no more were held during the term. The class ball games had been played and the Sheff. nine, of which Bull, Davol, Greer, G. Mason and Shelton were members, had won the championship. Pratt won the singles in the Shelf. Tournament and Anderson was second. Anderson, Conyngham, C. B. Berger, Leeds, Prouty and Wal- cott were appointed to arrange for the class supper. June 12th was the date set for the fence game with Harvard, '89. Again, through poor management, the nine was deprived of the services of Dann and Noyes, and although a good lead was obtained in the first three innings, the men became rattled and the game was lost. Harvard scored he1' eighth and winning run in the ninth inning. The Harvard men marched in, sang Harvard songs on the fence which we had failed to win, and in the evening were given a sup- per at the Atheneum. The nine which- represented Yale was: Osborn, c.g VVatkinson, p., Smith, lb., Davol, 2b.g G. Mason, 3b. 5. Greer, s. s.g Hull, l. f.g Fitzgerald, c. f., Francke, r. f. Two days later, on Monday, June 145 the sad news of the death of YOUNG was announced. Ile died quite suddenly from typhoid fever, the only loss by death which wehave sustained during our course. In the evening the class met and appointed C. B. Berger, Dockendorlf and McCrea to draft resolutions. Tl1e class supper, which had been arranged for June 23 at Fenwick Grove, was given up and the class went in a body to view the remains of their dead classmate and escort them to the depot. The committee appointed for that purpose d1'ew up suitable reso- lutions. The year was now drawing to a close and we were plugging for dur first annual examinations, which began on Wednesday, June 16, and ended on Friday, June 25. The same afternoon Professor Brewer announced the result of our examinations, and although a. number were heavily conditioned, the class remained intact. The week which followed is a notable one in the history of Yale. President Porter was succeeded by President Dwight, Yale Col- lege became Yale University, and two glorious victories were added to our long list of athletic achievements. On June 30 Har- vard had defeated Yale at Cambridge and tied us for the cham- pionship. The deciding game was to be played at Hartford July 3, and our nine was working hard for the' coming contest. 10 Yale '88 On July 1 came the much-talked-of triple race between our Freshman crew and those of Columbia and Harvard. Our crew was an excellent one, by far the best of the three, but rough water .and a shaky boat ,were too much for them, and after obtaining a good lead in the first half mile, a wave broke over their boat and swamped it. Harvard, having defeated Columbia, was asked to row Yale again, and although offered a start of two lengths, she refused. Our gallant but unfortunate eight were: Stewart, stroke, -Carter, 7g Franchot, 6, Corbin, 5, Buchanan, 43 VVilcox, 35 Gill, 25 Wells, bowg Ames, cox. Thursday evening the Banjo Club gave a concert in New Lon- don, which a large number of Yale men attended. Friday morn- ing was bright and pleasant, just the day for alrace, but the water was choppy and it was postponed till 6 o'clock. It was a pretty race and a victory to be proud of. Yale's time was Q0 m. 21:13 sec., which beat the best record made by us in 1884. The celebration that night none who participated in it, will ever forget. The next day the decisive ball game was played at Hartford, and Ha1'vard's discomiiture was complete. For , In the depot at Hartford a Harvard man sat, Sighing: Harvard! O Harvard! O Harvard! And I said to him: Stranger, now what are you at, Sighing: Harvard! O Harvard! O Harvard. Is it pressure of business, Sir, I cried, Or a rather sharp pain in your little inside? With a look of distress and a moan, he replied, O Harvard! Poor Harvard! Poor Harvard! In the race at New London we thought we would win. O Harvard! Poor Harvard! Poor Harvard! But the boys from New Haven have taken us in, And beat Harvard, slow Harvard, weak Harvard. Then to Hartford we come our lost honors to save, But the Yale boys our nine a worse druhbing gaveg And now we would like to sink into our grave, And take Harvard, lost Harvard, whipped Harvard! The college. year, with its variety of work and pleasures, and its gratifying victories, was at an end. We were Juniors and pre- pared to occupy a new position in the college-world. 9 Class Book. 11 JUNIOR YEAR. YVhen we canie back in the fall of '86, who among us could be made to believe he had ever been a miserable freshman? Did not we feel an infinite abyss separating us from the time when we had been carried to the Homestead, and perhaps even to the tobacco embued halls of our Teutonic friend, Herr Otto? But one thing we remembered-we had been hazed, and so we mildly and neatly proceeded to get revenge upon '89, They will, no doubt, even yet tell some tales of how we taught the first rudiments of college life at the rush on Orange street. At the class meeting Stewart was elected president, Shigemi, vice-president, and Tuttle, secretary. This year we were both '88 in name and number. 'A very small number as compared with '87 and '89 had been taken from our ranks, and, after one year's experience, it is hard to drop a Sheff. man. This fall our crew won its first race, and again in the spring we crossed in the lead, breaking the college record for the two- mile inter-class races. In the first of these, iVilcox, Franchot, Garter and Stewart rowedg and in the second, iVilcox, Carter, XV. Mason and Davison were those who shed honor on their class nu- merals. Bull and Carter were on the team which was sent to Princeton to play foot ball. After much squabbling about the place were the game was to be played, Yale claiming the Polo grounds and Princeton the mud fiats upon which her affections are centered, it was at last determined to go wherever it was neces- sary in order to bring back the title of champion to New Haven. The result of this you all know well. The game was won by 4 to Og but we did not get the title so coveted, for the representatives of the five clubs decided that the championship must remain where it was. In this same fall, before the events occurred which are narrated above, Dann was elected as captain of the nine. I-Ie is the first for many years who was elected to this ofiiee in his second year, and the manner in which he discharged his duties, both asa captain and a player, showed that the confidence of the University was not misplaced. - We had great difliculty this year with our German, and many of us deem it the happiest moments of our lives when we realized that we should never have another recitation in this branch of modern languages. This was the time when the engineers first made the 12 IQIZG '88 acquaintance of their estimable professor, who, apologizing, con- ditioned, and, conditioning, apologized. I Now, we were broken up into our courses, and the character of the class was shown by nearly half taking the select cou1'se. At this time we began to know and be known mo1'e thoroughly than was possible as freshmen, and soon each man found his level and sank, or rose to it, as the case might be. After the hard and withal satisfactory struggle at Christmas, we launched forth fairly towards our senior year, for one feels himself much more in a class after one term's Work is safely behind him. The whole of us now go into more or less training, and our success is as varying as is ou1' endeavors. In February, Moore and Parlin W6l'6 elected to the senior board of' the News, C. B. Berger to,that of the Record and C. E. Curtis to that of the Courant. At the elections for the various University athletic organizations, C. B. Berger was elected vice-president of the Athletic Association, Bull a member of the Executive Com- mittee and Davison a steward, Stewart, vice-president of the navy, and Parlin Sheff. treasurer, Osborn, vice-p1'esident of the Base Ball Association, Carter, vice-president of the Foot Ball Association and Pratt vice-president of the Tennis Club. , The winter games this year were held in the Rink instead of the Gymnasium, and the change operated most beneficially. The re- sult of the contests was eminently satisfactory, and altogether the improvement upon those of our former year was most noticeable. lfVhen Easter came, as it invariably will, though in our freshman year we almost despaired, the result of hard work was that Carter and VVilcox stayed over to train with the University crew, and, of course, Dann was with the ball nine. Another of our number would also have been with it had not a severe accident disabled him from further playing for months. The spring term, that happiest period of college life, now opened to us, and we soon saw the quadrangular league dwindle intoa tri- angular oneg and though Yale had dreaded to enter such an asso- ciation, when thrown into it by circumstances, she played her part so nicely that she remained in her former position of superiority. Columbia's glory faded rapidly away, and Princeton's good start was imitated only' once, when she defeated Harvard. With our team she did not again play closely, but, as before, Fair I-1arva.rd was a foe worthy of our steel. 'When she had the opportunity to tie us, she tried so manfully to take advantage of it, that the ,best Class Book. 13 endeavors of Stagg's strong arm and thirteen innings could only suffice to win by one rung but this was the last effort, and in the Commencement game it was scarce a struggle. About this time, sixteen members of the class were elected to membership in the University Club, and Conyngham was chosen vice-president. Now came the time when we faced our examinations, which were to show whether we had wasted our time or not for one long year. Happily, we were successful almost to a man, and while yet in nn- certainty, we went to see the boat race at New London. The race with the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard's with Columbia were but preliminaries for the battle of the giants which was to follow. As we trust and believe she ever will, our University was again the victor, and we did well our part, which we judged to be in cheering on our sturdy eight. At this time we see our class- mates shaking one another bythe hand in a manner more than con- gratulatory, it had a grateful and blissful element in it. Was this because Yale had won the boat race, and that vacation had come with its visions of fair damsels? Yes, this and the fact that we were--Seniors. SENIOR YEAR. Our last year has come and nearly gone. Seventy-eight of us returned to bear its duties and responsibilities-eleven less than re- assembled at the opening of Junior year. We performed the cus- tomary duty of niarshaling into line the Freshmen, 104 strong, preparatory to the annual Orange street rush, and duly left the imprint of our example upon the minds of '89. ' The captains of the University C1'ew and nine for the year were announced, F. A. Stevenson, '88, of the crew, and A. A. Stagg, '88, of the nine. On October lst, Prof. Drummond with a party from the Uni- versity of Edinburg, visited the University and delivered several addresses which were very popularly received. On October 5th, the annual class meeting for the election of officers was held. Dann was the choice for president, Carter for vice-president, and P. F. Smith for secretary. The question of rep- resentation on the Junior promenade committee was brought up, when word was received from members of the '89 committee that they considered the promenade a strictly academic aifair. 'No action was taken by the class. I 14 Yale '88 The ann11al tournament of the Inter-Collegiate Tennis Associa- tion was held on the grounds of the New Haven Lawn Club the second week in October. Harvard won first place in both doubles and singles, Columbia, second. Davison and Mason rowed in the '89 boat at the Fall Regatta 5 DeWolf was substitute. On November 18th the Upsilon Deuteron chapter of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, was established in Sheff., and eight men in the Junior and Freshman Classes initiated. Thanksgiving day again saw the foot ball championship in Yale's hands, after handsomely defeating Princeton by the score of 12 to 0, and Harvard 17 to 8. Bull, Carter and Pratt of tl1e class, were on the victorious team and Graves was a substitute. At a meeting of the class December 14, Curtis was elected class poet and P. F. Smith permanent secretary. President Dann an- nounced the men to compose the committees on statistics, supper, picture, cup, graduating and triennial 5 also the historians for the several courses. On February lst, the Senior appointments, twenty-three in num- ber, were announced, and were divided among the several courses as follows : Select, 7 3 Dynamical Engineering, 4 5 Civil Engi- neering, 5, Chemistry, 3, and Biology, 4. The Chair of Analytical Chemistry and Metallurgy recently held by Prof. Allen, is vacant, but two'new instructors have been added, Mr. E. S. Sperry, assistant in Analytical Chemistry and Mr. G. W. Cummins, assistant in mathematics. The Kent Laboratory has been completed during the year, and work on the Chittenden Library, to cost 1l4125,000 and to be ready for occupancy before May 1, '89, has been begun. Dann will again represent the class on the nine, and we have good reason to feel that Yale will retain her customary position at the head of the league in this branch of athletics. We are also prepared to celebrate another boating victory over Harvard. Car- ter and Wilcox will again represent the class in the University boat. The statisticians regret that they must necessarily omit from the Class Book the -details of the closing weeks of the course. Four men have left the class during the year, so that we now have and bid fair to graduate seventy-four men, the largest number graduated in any class in the history of 'the department.

Thirteen are in commercial business of some form: ten are manufacturers, seven are bankers, nine farmers, five engineers, three connected in some way with railroads, two lawyers, two clergymen, and the others are divided between the various callings of which man may avail himself. Seven indulge in no occupation, but enjoy the fruits of early activity. Thirty-nine of us have had relatives graduate from Yale, Osborn, leading the list with twenty-five. Leeds has nineteen kinsmen wl1o are possessors of diplomas from the same institution. Twelve of our number have fathers who have graduated from some college, seven being among the alumni of Yale. 4 George is the favorite name, it leading with nine. WVilliam, John, Frank and Charles each have six to their credit. Henry is a close third with five, but as one of these is Harry should be ruled ont.

Just half this num- ber are from New York, and then Illinois stands next in point of numbers. Pennsylvania, Colorado, Rhode Island and Ohio each have three representatives, and the remainder are distributed as follows: Sandwich Islands, two, Missouri, two, Louisiana, Massa- chusetts, Dakota, Nebraska, California and Japan one each. .

The average age of the class is 21 years, 3 months and 11 days. The diversity has a large range, extending from G. B. Berger, whose age is 19 years and 30 days, to Wilcox, who was born 28 years and 25 days ago. Norton falls short of the average by five- days, and Bond exceeds it by the same number. In height and weight we are strong, and have twelve men who are six feet tall or over. At the head of these is Franchot, who is 6 feet 3 inches in height and weighs 195 pounds. The other extreme- is found in Shigemi, who escapes being five feet tall by just one- eighth of an inch and can only claim 91 pounds of avoirdupois. The averages are: Height, 5 feet 9 1-7 inches, weight, 1505 pounds.. Those who approach nearest the average are, of the first: Colton, Easterbrook, Gold, G. G. Mason, Prouty and Shelton, each falling one-seventh of an inch below it, of the second: Bean, Dickey, Davison, Hamlin, Lockwood and McCrea, all being one-half pound too light. The Composite man of '88 S. would wear a seven and a fifth- Q7 1-51 glove, and Ellis and Gray would be farthest below him with. sixes, while lVoodruif would go to the highest with a nine.

Franchot, as suits his statue, wears an eleven, while Gray and Shigemi are both satisded with fives. Easterbrook requires more laundry at one time than any one else in the class, wearing a number 165 collar. Le Sassier needs only a 13. ' FORMER MEMBERS.

Nine are taking a course in biology as a preparation for medical studies, ten take the select course for a general educa- tion, while several who are taking the mathematical courses intend becoming engineers. Other reasons for choice are: Compelled by fates, didn't care to study for a profession, because papa. told me to fTuckerj, requires most work, expect to hoe pota- toes fFunkj, not for a snap, imagined I was built for an engin- eer, 'fdid not want a snap,', fDavisonj, best preparation for busi- ness, hoped it would be the easiest, because of its fascination for me, preference for literature and dislike for mathematics, three took it for a snap and four because of natural aptitude. Four only regret their choice. One says too farcical in some re- spects, another 'itoo much mathematics, a third it gives six months longer with Verrill than the engineering courses. Farquhar and Richards have spent part of their course with the dynamics and part with the selects. Garneau and Sherman have deviated somewhat from the regular course. Thirty-three of us have found Freshman year the hardest, twen- ty-seven Junior year, and fourteen Senior year. Forty-one con- sider Senior year the easiest, sixteen, Freshman year, and ten, Junior year. Lockwood thinks there is no easy year, and Shigemi no such in the biological course. Twenty-six of us studied most in Freshman year, eleven most in Senior year, eight most in Junior year, six most in Freshman and Junior years, and one most in Junior and Senior years. Five have studied' the same number of hours each year. ' r 32 Ihle '88, S. Twenty-nine of us have studied least in Senior year, ten least in Freshman year, eight least in Junior year, four least in Junior and ISenior years, two least in Freshman and Senior years and one least in Freshman and Junior years. ' g The favorite studies of the members of the class a1'e: Chemistry, 8, German, 5, Mathematics, 5, English Literature, 5, Political Economy, 5, Mineralogy, 3, Shakespeare, 3, Physiology, 3, Consti- tutional Law, 2, Drawing, 2, Physics, 2, English History, 2, French, 2, Analytics, Botany, Strains, Breeding, Law and Politics, History and Astronomy, one each. Geology is the favorite study of Prouty, Sanskrit of Kleeherg, and Woman and her deceitsn of Tucker. Other answers to the question are: All a bore, have yet to find it, not stuck on any flleglerj. Most studies have afforded McCrea some enjoyment, hut Mathematics and German have been the cause of much profanity. Professor Hastings has again been voted the most handsome man on the Faculty, receiving 55 votes. Prof. Farnam received 7 votes, Mr. VVe1ls, 3, Prof. Dubois, 2, Profs.

Of tl1e 74 men, at present members of the class, 67 entered at the beginning of '8S's course, September, 1885. Leeds joined the class at the beginning of the winter term in. Freshman year. Ellis, Parlin and Richards were one year with '87' and joined '88 at the beginning of Junior year. Tucker was a mem-4 ber of '87 for two years. Garneau and Sherman are graduates of St. Louis University, class of '86, and entered the class at the be-e ginning of Junior year. Patrick was formerly in '87, but-withdrew at Christmas, Freshman year, and joined '88 the next Fall. Parlin. was admitted to the University of W'isconsin '79, but never joined the class. Richards entered the University of Pa., but changed to Yale because he thought he had gotten past the bowl fight ' era. Wilcox spent two years at W'esleyan , came to Yale because there was no civil engineering course there. Five men in the class have been suspended during their course. One for ten days, one for five weeks, one on account of a latin condition in '84, while Ir- was suspended for three weeks for not agreeing with WVheeler on the pronounciation of a certain German word. One man has been dropped and had a close calla second time, ' another very nearly, a third expects to be soon. Thirty-three members of the class passed their examinations for entrance at New Haven in June, '85, four in June, '84 and '85, twelve in September, '85, three in June, 84, one in June, '83 fLeedsj, one in June and September, '84, one in September, '84, one in September, '86, one had a special examination fN0l'l'iSJ. Four were examined in Chicago in June, '85, three at Andover, three at Denver, two at Cincinnati, and one at Williston. Docken- dorff was examined for the Academic Department in June, '85, and entered Sheff on presenting a certificate of admission to the other department. Garneau and Sherman entered without examination. Twelve men received one condition each on entrance , fourteen. received two eacl1, seven, three each, and three four each. Shigemi was excused from Latin, but studied it and passed it off. Fourteen men spent two years each in preparing for college, twelve spent three years , seven, one year , five, four years, one, eleven years, one, eighteen years, and seven only from three weeks to eight. months each, with a special view to entering college. Others answer as follows: All my life, since infancy , from my cradle up , started to prepare at the age of two months, have always studied with that idea in mind. l 14 Class Book. 35 Twenty-five men have had Yale graduates for instructors. Our purpose in coming to college has been, in the minds of twenty- seven, to get 'an education as an aid to a future professional or busi- ness life. Four came because their fathers desired it, and six solely for a good time. The rest came to set my younger brother a good example, to secure general culture 5 because I wished to, to get a few ideas, to have a handle on my name Ure Sassierjg because ofa wild and uncontrollable desire for wisdom lSher- manjg to escape work 5 on account of the influence of graduates, to get a knowledge of men, for the training, because I Wanted a sheepskin, wasn't ready for business, thought the fool of the familyshould come QTuttlejg because I was too lazy to do anything else, to see the East and gain an experience, because I was brought up to believe I had to go QBondjg be- cause a man of to-day is nowhere unless he has a college education, and to answer impudent statistic questions. Twenty-two of us thought that Yale was the best, and therefore chose it. Fourteen preferred it on account of its proximity to their homes, five on account of its prominence in athletics, and four be- cause their relatives and friends advised it. Other answers were- For pecuniary reasons, on account of its reputation, first in war, because it was the pride of my native State, father decided it for me fDeVVolfjg many of my friends were Yale men 3 my father was a Yale mangn because of the fine esprit cle corp, there is no other college, democratic spirit, because of its 'get there' style 5 because she is sineparef' was drawn here by the accounts of the beautiful women and their tender age Clluckerjg the only college where students have the right spirit 5 better opportunities for study and social advan- tages, because Yale is the favorite in Colorado, and because Yale has the best reputation of any college in America, especially in Europe, where it is the only institution heard of much. Our reasons for choosing Shelf. in preference to the academic are exceedingly numerous and diverse. Twenty-two did so because they disliked the classics, three, because they thought it easier to enter Shelf,g twelve, because they thought it more practical and a better preparation for their future work. Other answers were: Had no alternative, scientific or none QOsbornjg pecuniary reasonsg couldn't get into the academic QRieha1-dsl, preferred working to 1oafing cD!1VlS0llDQ didn't know enough, because of my father's wishes, because it is the harder Qfleminwayjg so Yale 'ss, S.

Class Book. 3 7 The list is incomplete on account of the refusal or neglect of many to state expenses. The least spent by any man is S550 and the most 8S3,000. The expenses of Freshman and Senior year foot up higher than those of Junior. The average amount for each man through his course is 8970. Fifteen men have allowances and habitually ex- ceed them, and of the class, fifteen are in debt, none of whom are at all depressed, however. Their indebtedness varies from seventy-five cents to three hundred dollars, and and it is noticeable that those who make money by means of Ike don't seem to save much. There is one young man who says he has not exceeded his allowance because he did not dare, and several who don't because they have none. Twenty-five helped to make Davy more wealthy 3 but one l1as shown some discretion, for he says: I have dealt, but on my honor, I have not eaten. With Ikey the intercourse has been limited to sixteen, or at least these alone will confess that they have been pulled. One inno- cently says : Who's Ike ? With Solomon Fry the dealings are even IllOl'C 1'estricted, and more' than one who has had great ex- perience in this line ask whe1'e this Israelite doth dwell. In the subscription line, the memories of many are Iamentably weak. One attains the highest limit with two hundred dollars. Several exceed one hundred, and one who has given just ninety- nine asks for the address of a subscription Bend to whom he may mail the remaining bill. Alas! too much, I'll never know, and Shekels, good shekels, are the answers given by some. Eleven have at some period or other lent their services to their classmates' discomfort to the extent that they became collectors in some form or other. Only three report any glowing success QC. B. Berger, Parlin, Richardsj, and a glance at the result shows that the subscription man is not so rich as he seems to the un- sophisticated. Fifteen have indulged in remunerative occupations before entering college. Two have cut grass at great intervals, one worked in a grocery store, one tuned pianos, one is a musician on occasion, two were engineers, three worked on a farm, one drew a piano in a raffle, one was in an architect's ofiice, one a draughts- man and one taught school. The other refuses to state his occupa- tion, but hints darkly that he was a Pinkertondetective. Of those wl1o have earned money since they entered, three are as Yale '88, S. paying their expenses by tutoring principally, and by engineer's work in the summer. The others have helped themselves by tutor- ing, surveying, poker, betting- on Yale, betting against everything on principle, living plainly, collecting, etc. The amounts vary as greatly as the methods, and the variableness of both go to show the wide range of -abilities which the members of the class possess. It is-the general opinion of the class that money has been very tight since their entrance into college, and that this not only prevents them from acquiring wealth, but causes those who have not to grasp after their little. The term bill is a drain, and board is absolutely necessary. And we all have a. grudge against the book stores. There we have been fleeced, but we have to bear our pain and stick the next class. PERSONAL APPEARANCES AND CHARACTERISTICS. It can not be denied, if one may judge from the number of can- didates brought forward for handsome men, that we are a hand- some class. Dann is regarded as the model of beauty by thirty- fourg Pratt as the most handsome by seven, Conyngham by sixg Bull by four, C. Berger and Catlin by three each, Coleman, Curtis, Is- bell, Legler and Prouty by two eachg Anderson, Colton, Davis, Franchot and Shigemi by one each. The only contest, as regards the homeliest man, was for second place. Spanutius received the votes of eight for this distinction, Kleeberg followed with five votes, Ande1'son and Le Sassier with three each, Dockenclorlf, R. Smith and WO0dl'lllT with two each, Davol, Griswold, Hoggson, Jenner, Osborn, Patrick and Shigerni with one each. Modesty prevents the writer from stating how large his constituency was. The vote for brightest man in the class has resulted as follows : P. F. Smith, 483 Sherman, 73 Isbell, 65 Farquhar, Jenner and Robinson three eachg Dockeudorif and Goetchius one each. Stewart is considered the most popular man in the class by 189 Carter' and Dann by 17 each, Pratt by 9g CoNYNGHAM by 23 Le Sassier, Patrick, Shigemi, P. F. Smith and Walcott by oneleach. In answer to the question, Who regards himself the most popu- lar ? the vote resulted as follows: Dockendorif, 10g C. B. Berger, , Class Book. 39 63 Davison, 5, E. E. Smith, 45 Osborn, Patrick and P. F. Smith, 3 each, Hoggson, Judson and Richards, 2 each, Carter, Catlin, Ellis, Leeds, Parlin and You Do, one each. Jenner has a commanding lead for class dude, receiving 29 votes, 'Legler follows with 125 Judson with 6, Coleman and Dockendorif witl1 3 each, Bond and Osborn with 2 each, C. B. Berger, Carter, Davison, Easterbrook and Miller with 1 each. Tuttle regards him- self as such. Tllree think we have no dude, while Alexander ex- claims: Shades of Howland and Grnmmond, who can the class dude be ? Thirty-eight of us claim moustaches. Le,Sassicr styles his old gold, and Norris considers his best in the class. Davis is the only man in the class who can at present boast of a beard. Tucker removed his to save his social position and remain a member of the class. Bull thinks the ladies, as a rule, do not like themf' There are twenty-six pairs of blue eyes in the class, nineteen of brown, fourteen of gray, four of black, two of hazel, one each of green, beautiful green, heavenly blue, gray and blue, mottled, blue gray, thoughtful brown, cross between a sky blue pink and a vandyke brown. To match these eyes, twenty-nine of us have light-brown hai1', fifteen dark-brown, twelve black, seven light, while others call theirs fair, sandy, golden, auburn, jersey and yellow, different shades. Judson and Nelson claim theirs to be red while Sher- man delights in a brilliant auburn, translucent to opaque, frac- ture fibrous and streak golden. - i . In the matter of complexion twenty-eight are blondes and twen- ty-three brunettes. The complexion of the others are chocolate, bilious,,' swarthy, frcckled,,, elegant, and doughy. Sher- man thinks his photograph worthless as an advertisement for 'Re- camier Cream' or 'Bloom of Youth'. Our styles of beauty are plain, eccentric, pug, classic, composite, venetian blonde, Grecian, handsome and tak- ing, battered Greek, doubtful, Roman, uncommon, unique and original, dandy from way back, something remarkable, long and short of it QLe Sassierj, quite my own, common- place, imposing and grand, indescribable and buxom, blithe and debonair QAndersonj. Nine men wear glasses habitually, three others occasionally. Twenty-nine have been examined by an oeulist and eleven by 9. phrenologist. Alexander was told that he would be a great ras- 40 Yale '88, S. . calf' Tuttle that his bump of wisdom was predominate, Gar- neau, that with due care he might escape a lunatic asylum, Sher- man, that his bump of destructiveness was abnormally developed. The most prominent characteristic of the class is excellence ini athletics, in the opinion of twenty-two men. Others declare it to be rush, high stand, ignorance, ability to bulldoze, ' tendency to dig, to patronize Price, good behavior,, 1' birds, cutting, class feeling, poker playing, good- fellowshipf' proficiency in cribbingf' chronic kicking, eccen- tricities,'l sand, generosity and noisiness, ability and discretion, courage to stand Wheeler and Verrill, tendency to sneak from Zoo. lectures, power of getting there, mediocrity in studies, its originalty and ' get there '.style, great interest in University affairs, inclination to disagree with the Faculty, and general superiority over all previous classes. Prof. Richards is reported to have called '88 a very larky class, while Prof. Clark regards it as V an exceptionally bright class. Asked what they regard the most prominent characteristics of themselves the members of the class reply cutting, toughness, laziness, my beard fDavisj, good behavior fllockwoodj, love of athletic spo1'ts and society, my habit of grinning QDavisonj, aversion to labor, like the ladies QPatrickj, regu- larity of arising fDeWolfj, abhorence of the vulgar and Chas.

NVe have a banner list of twenty-one men who have never re- ceived a condition. In consideration of the mazy labyrinth of German through which we have t1'aveled, their names deserve men- tion on this page. They are Alexander, Archbald, C. B. Berger, G. B. Berger, R. Curtiss, Colton, Dockendorff, Isbell, Kimball, Klee- berg, Lockwood, Nelson, Parlin, Richards, Robinson, E. E. Smith, P. F. Smith,Taylor, Tuttle, Wilcox and Walcott. Tuttle, how- ever, thinks it isn't time to crow until he gets through with Geology. Ten more of us have only been conditioned once, and German proved the stumbling block of the most of these. German, in fact, has been an important barrier to a good many. One man has been conditioned on every German examination but one, and another carries off the palm with tl1i1'teen German conditions in two years. Several of us recited German poems time and time again without giving satisfaction. Ellis, who joined us in Junior year, says : I have had conditions, but I only speak of them confiden- tially. Others are more free to speak, and several tell of twenty, twenty-two, and even twenty-six conditions, with brilliant prospects for the future. One of the men who received an appointment con- fesses to eight conditions since entrance. The old adage, Honesty is the best policy, doesn't seem to have impressed itself upon the majority. Eighty-iive, or more than half the class admit having 42 Yale '88, S. eribbed more or less during the course. Various reason are as- signed for this. Couldn't get through without it, 'had to in order to pass. These and similar excuses are given by those who think an ,excuse necessary. One man who has paid thirty-five dollars for extra examinations lays it all to hislack of skill in work- ing a crib. Only three men in the entire class claim to have kept their books closed during geology recitations, but all agree that it was only to determine whether Verrill knows more about the sub- ject than Prof. Dana. One accomplished artist in the cribbing line speaks of a crib three yards long, and another has used up three packs of visiting cards. In addition to this, eighteen have tutored to a greater or less extent. One unfortunate claims to have paid seven hundred dollars to tutors. PRIZES AND APPOIN TMEN TS.

I r X 1 ' T FUPURIL OQCUPATIOIN. How little we have cared to pry into the future is shown by the fact that thirty-two f32j, nearly one-half of our class, face this problem, and solve it too, for the time, by saying simply : l I don't know. This can be explained in some measure by the fact that 46 Ihle '88, S. their every thought has been of their studies 5 and it can be only after Commencement day that time can be found in which to at- tempt to solve the problem of the unknown future. Those who have chosen their future walks in life do not seem to have been influenced by aught but choice 5 and choice has resulted in ten of our number declaring themselves as engineers, civil, min- ing and electrical. Of those resolved on the profession, a greater 'proportion are to take Post Graduate courses at Sheff. than of any of the others. The physicians and surgeons have seven for their number, and four of these go to the College of Physicians and Surgeons-the others neglecting to state where they are to'com- plete their studies. Four will be chemists, and of these only one is su1'e that he will want another year here. YVe have three embryo lawyers and a like number of bankers 5 and farmers and gentlemen of leisure will sum up two membe1's each. Bond is going to transfer himself to a cattle ranch in New Mexico, and become a cow boy in a plug hat. The combina- ion has never been given a fair trial and is expected to have good and lasting success. Funk will be a stock breeder, because his taste is so inclined. He does not make clear, however, whether his pref- erence is for the stock or the breeding. E. E. Smith will be a teacherg Moore, a journalistg Osborn, a real 'estate agent, and Richards is to become a minister. Only thirteen state positively that they intend to take post graduate courses, and of these six will come to Yale, three at Columbia, three at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and one, Nelson, at VVest Point. Twenty more are HllIlC8I'iL2l.'lI1,,,uWV0l1ld like to return if circumstances permit, will, probably, etc., and of these twelve Wish to return here and take courses in engineer- ing, and English and Political Science. The remainder of the class say forcibly: No. llELlGl0N AND MORALITY. , y Notwithstanding the fact that we have no compulsory religious exercises, the moral standing of thc Scientific School is at least equal to that of tl1e Academic department, and quite as many of our fellows, in proportion to our numbers, are engaged in religious work. T One of our prominent professors, when approached on the subject of holding morning prayers in North Shefheld Hall, said: 47 Class Book. When the morals of the scientific students fallbelow those of their Academic brethren it will be plenty early enough to talk about compulsory chapel. Forty-two of us are church members and at- tend the morning services regularly, and fourteen others, not mem- bers, are more or less regular in their attendance. Of the forty-two church members among us, nineteen are Congregationalists, ten are Episcopalians, six are Unitarians and four Catholics, two are believers in the Jewish faith and one in the Methodist. The ser- vices of the Episcopal church are the most popular with the non- church members, and eight of us attend Trinity regularly, while five more prefer that place of worship. The College Chapel and Davenport Avenue Congregational Church, whe1'e Richards sings, are the favorites with tive each, and the Church of tl1e Redeemer, St. Pu.ul's, Center Church and St. Mary's attract two or three apiece. The Calvary Baptist, College Street Congregational, First Meth- odist and Humphrey Street Congregational also have their ad- mirers. The most of them, however, for special reasons, not par- ticularly religious. Fourteen of us are fairly regular at evening services, but there again special influences are brougl1t to bear, and six of the evening Worshipers confess to that abominable custom of lining up to see the people come out. We have only twoheathen among us, one of them hasn't been inside of a church in New Haven, and the other not but once, and then he went to hear Shigemi lecture. Quite a number have been active in religious work during the course. We used to average about ten at the- Shelf. prayer meetings, and when Dwight Hall was built and we united with '89, our representatives we1'e even more numerous. Alexander, Lockwood and Richards have been the most active workers. Alexander has been connected with the College Y. M. C. A. since Freshman year, drumming up fellows to attend prayer meetings and as leader in a Bible class. He also taught a class of Hdarkies at the Broadway Mission School. Lockwood has also taken a prominent part in all of the Y. M. C. A. meetings and in Dr. Harper's Bible classes. Richards has been 'vice-president of the Y. M. C. A., and was at one time engaged in mission school work. ,Le Sassier was' also, according to the New Haven News, a member of a Y. M. C. A. committee appointed to collect funds. Fourteen say their religious work extends only to escorting. young ladies home from church. Of course, all of the vices known to mankind are more or less 1 48 Yale '88, S. prevalent among us, as among any other community of young men. Smoking, drinking, betting, gambling and swearing are evils which every one at some time has fallen a victim to, and which, unfortu- nately, are so common that, unless practiced to excess, they attract no particular attention. Thirty-eightof us smoke more or less, some constantly and others very seldom. A pipe is the favorite smoke, although we all enjoy a good cigar when the state of our finances will allow it. Only a few find comfort in a cigarette, but most of ns use them occasion- ally. 'llhirty-three of us bet a little, and twenty-five gamble slightly. The lVest Divinity Poker Club has been quite a liourish- ing organization, and to the gas company at least, a profitable one. 'l'hirty-four of us, excluding Tucker, who drinks nothing but milk, are more or less fond of the rich French wines, about which Mr. Price told us such an interesting story, but no one uses them to excess, and none fso they sayj have experienced evil results. Thirty-five swear occasionally, when I am alone, under strong provocation, when the '89 crew sank at New London, when I got my eighth condition in German, and on other occa- sions' when strong language is cxcusable, and only serves to empha- size a remark. U One man says, I don't swear, bet, except on a very minute scale, gamble, smoke or drink, and I don't pretend to be a saint by any means. A very interesting fact in this connection, and one which utterly refutes the oft-repeated story of the evil associations of college life, is that only six have contracted any of the habits since entering Yale, and, on the other hand, three have given up some, or all, of them during that time. The New Haven police are not counted among the best friends of the students, but in our case, at least, they have not been very troublesome. Nineteen of our number have at some time during the course been escorted to the Court St. Asylum for the Unfortu- nate, by one or more of the blue-coated gentry. Seven of us, all in a bunch were arrayed before the genial Lieut. iWrinn on the night of February 21, 1886, charged with injury to private property, but, after a brief lecture from that gentleman, were set at liberty, owing to the extreme youth of one of the party. The injury in question consisted of putting up in every convenient place posters bearing our class numerals. But some of us have been less fortunate in our dealings with the civil authorities, as the following, b:r:r:r1 K'1 J,-f .S-Eff' ,' '-i'4-: M- sa I s M ,L lin! . THE CLOISTER, 50 Yclle '88, S. which appears on the court record after well-known names, shows: Injury to public property by tearing decorations from the City Hall on the night preceding Monument Day, 8505 Fast driving, 3105 Disturbing the peace by singing badly, 311.85 QZQ5 Aid- Y ing and abettinga prize fight, 85, and costs, 813.50. Fhree others. were arrested for building a bonfire, but were able to prove an alibi. The- wit of the class says he was arrested once by a stone wallg. the wall was the stronger and barked my noseg I was perfectly sober. The list of membership of the Yale Criminal Club shows the' names of seven '88 S. men, and our S50 prize man is,the Worthy president of that institution. HAZING AND RUSHING. One of the first incidents of our course was our Freshman rush- In this we were signally successful, and succeeded in awing the Juniors to such an extent that very few of us were put through the mild form of hazing in vogue at Yale. About twenty of us, how- ever, were taken out in twos or threes and escorted to Otto's, or the Homestead, whe1'e we were again taught to drink milk out of a bottle, and were instructed in the art of, cock-fighting. Very few of us have serious objections to hazing in its milder forms, and one of our number goes so far as to say: I believe that hazing as it is carried on at Yale, to be harmless to the most sensitive physical and moral nature, and that nothing is done which any man who fully understands the circumstances could condemn. Another, who evidently adapts himself to existing circumstances, says : As a Freshman, I said, 'hazing is barbarousg' as a Junior, I explained, 'boys will be boys , There are a few who are opposed to the custom, and they express themselves strongly against it. One of the most prominent men in the class says : Hazing is disgrace- ful, cowardly, and unbecoming to a. gentleman. Indeed, he con- demns it almost as strongly as the notorious D. Cady Eaton does. the manner in which other affairs at Yale are managed. , Eighty-eight and eighty-nine academic have been prominent in rushes during the entire course, and there are only three of our class who have not been in one or more. We began with the Gram- mar School rush on the night before college opened 5 then came the shirt rush out on Orange street, and finally, after the Freshman- Class Book. 51 Sophomore game, we marched in on the walk and succeeded in getting a seat on the coveted fence. Our fellows have been gener- ally successful in tl1e rushes, the shirt rush after the Freshman game in Junior year being an innovation, and one which caused any amount of amusement for tl1e upper-class men. This rush was, however, carried a little too far, and quite a number think the waving of the bloody shirt a pernicious custom. A list 'of our individual games and losses, occasioned by the rushes, would lill a volume. Several of our number after the rusl1 in Freshman year crawled home in the shade of the fence, clad in a linen duster and shoes, and thought ourselves fortunate. But our turn came in Junior year, and we paid our losses wit11 interest. One of those who lost everything in Freshman year gained enough the next to make a handsome crazy patch quilt QLouis didn't make it himselfl, under which he now slumbers after his labors. The Seniors, with their linen dusters and plug hats, take a prominent part in the Sheff rushes, and, indeed, their dusters are necessary articles as long as the shirt rush exists. But it is certain that without the shirt rush and minus the Seniors, the custom would develop rapidly into what it ought to be-a fair test of strength. ATHLETICS. Our class, athletically, has been a success. In our freshman year we furnished two men for the University 'foot ball team, and in our senior year we had three amid the ranks of those who so triumph- antly carried our dark and blood-stained blue to the front. From our ranks, also, the '87 crew has drawn two of its best oarsmen, and this year we will again furnish these same two to aid once more in forcing the shell sufliciently ahead of Harvard's bow oar- or, at least, so we hope. VVe started badly. Who of us does not remember the keenness with which we felt the disgrace of losing the inter-freshman race in the fall of '84 'P But then, when spring came, four of '88 S. were found in the boat which contained the best freshman crew which Yale has ever had. They were: WVilcox, bowg Franchot, 63 Carter, 7, and Stuart, stroke. In this same fall Bull played half back and Carter tackle on the foot-ball team, which had its best and noblest efforts thwarted by Lamar. But these same men have shown that they were not daunted, and Princeton has found no more Lamars. May she look long and vainly ! 52 lille '88, S. This same year we were well represented both on the University base ball team and the late lamented team from '89. Dann caught and Osborn was substitute on the team which at Hartford brought proud Harvard from her dreams of conquest. Though with sadness, we must say, we aided Harvard '89 to win our fence-sad thought-for Davol, Greer, George Mason and Bull were of our number. VVe will say nothing of their base ball record, but simply 'and sadly, They were unfortunate ! Dann in our junior year captained our base ball team when its greatest games were played. This year he will catch, the captaincy having passed from his hands with at least as much honor as it came into them. This year Pratt has joined Bull and Carter in the foot-ball team, he having taken ex-captain Corwin's place as end rusher. Carter played guard and Bull full back, and his accurate kicking did much to help Captain B60CllC1',S men when they came into their death struggle with Harvard. V On the '87 'Varsity crew, Carter was number 7 and Wilcox bow, and this year there is no probability of either being changed. Otherwise our class can do nothing but yell for them at New Lon- don, andy either celebrate the victory afterward or drown our trouble in that which will often make one forget all save that his head aches. The others of our class have not injured themselves by exertion. QTo be sure, German made many of us very stiff, or perhaps better, limp, but even this did not induce us to move with unbecoming dignity. Strange to say, those who enjoyed a rough scrimmage on the foot-ball field, or a scrap on the corner, were not always the cries who could down a Dutch poem the hardest. Still we had some wl1o made a specialty of this trick 5 and as all branches must be represented, why some must be poor in this respect. Twenty-five work regularly in the gymnasium. We are obliged to take their own testimony for this, and it must be confessed that some people's ideas of work is confused. The modes fo exercise are some are rather startling. One facetious youth takes his un- dressed, and another more explicitly says his is doneby proxy. SValking makes the muscles of many glow with health 3 but this is too often taken to the tune of Meet me by moonlight alone,'l to do more than be amusing. One gentleman says frankly-and who can but honor him for his candor ?-that he has suflicient muscular exercise in walking to examinations. This is sad, but there are those who extend unbounded sympathy. A Class Book. 53 Nine think a base ball game preferable to heaven or a lectu1'e on hygiene. Seven love foot ball madly. Five think that tennis when played with one small female of proper age more than nice. One, only one, has the nickel-plated nerve to prefer eating to making a rush in geology. Rowing, tug-of-war, and horse-back riding each received more votes than this gentleman's nominee for favor. Our class has taken quite a number of prizes for the winte1', spring and fall games, and we have always had a good representation on the Mott Haven team, especially in the tug-of-war department. We hardly deem it advisable to class the Glee club as an athletic organization, but it has been held as such, and it can at least be said we can make a showing there also. Now, our developing workin this line is completed. YVe have only to see our class- mates help to pull Yale once more to the front, and then we shall see them in old Yale's dingy uniforms no more. POLITICS. When the time for choosing a president comes around once more, fifty-five Q55j of our number will vote if circumstances are favorable. Of these thirty will cast their iniiuence on the side of Republicanism, and only eleven are avowed Democrats. Of the nine remaining ones, who are members of the Independent, Mugwump and Prohibition parties, the greater number express their preference for the leaders of the party now in power, so this swells the minor- ity to nearly double its former dimensions. The Republicans are : V Alexander, Anderson, Archbald, Bean, C. Berger, G. Berger, Bond, Catlin, Carter, Colton, R. Curtis, Dann, Davol, Easterbrook, Ellis, Gold, Grey, Griswold, Greer, Hamlin, Isbell, Judson, Kim- ball, Leeds, G. Mason,W'. Mason, Norton, Prouty, Pratt, Richards, Sherman, P. Smith, R. Smith, Stewart, Tucker, Wilcox and Wood- ruff-39. The Democrats are : A - Davison, DeWolf, Dickey, Field, Garneau, Heminway, LeSas- sier, Moore, Osborn, Schwab and Tuttle-11. Mugwumps : Dockendorlf, Jenner, Klecberg, McCrea, Norris and Robin son-6. Of the remainder, C. Curtis, Davis and Farquhar are undecided 3 I-Ioggson and Shelton have none, Lockwood is aProhibitionistg 54 Yale '88, S. Spanutius, a Greenbaclcg Franchot is open to all argument, while Shigemi docs not meddle in politics at all. U On the tariftiquestion the majority is even larger for Protection than that which Republicanism received over the Democracy. Those favoring Protection are : 4 Alexander, Anderson, Archbald, Bean, C. Berger, G. Berger, Bond, Catlin, Colton, C. Cu1'tis, Da-vol, Dickey, Easterbrook, Fran- chot, Gold, G1'ey, Griswold, Greer, Hamlin, Hoggson, Isbell, Jud- son, Kimball, Leeds, LeSassier, G. Mason, W. Mason, Nelson, Norris, Norton, Parlin, Pratt, Richards, Schwab, Shelton, Sherman, P. Smith, R. Smith, Stewart, Tucker, YVilcox and WVoodruff-43. The Free Traders are : Dann, Davison, DeNVolf, Farquhar, Field, Garneau, Jenner, Kleeburg, MeCrea, Moore, Osborn, Shigemi and Spanutius-13. Tariff Revision : ' ' Davis, Ellis, Prouty and E. Smith-4. Carter states that he is mixed, and as this question has downed several others since its Hrst appearance, he has no cause to be ashamed. R. Curtis, Hemingway and Robinson are too timid to attempt to analyze their contending emotions on a subject so deli- cate and important. ' The reasons given are numerous and varying : Several want tariff for revenue only, and one says that his only desire for it is to keep up the workingman's wages. Five free traders wish for a gradual reduction to end in their accepting of their theory. In the choice for President the Republican party split and lost the choice. Cleveland received 19 votes, Blaine gets 15, Depew and Sheridan 6 each, Sherman fwhich one it is not statedj and Hawley are tied. with 4 each. Allison, of Ohio, Belva Lockwood and Charles Norris, jr., received one each. McCrea is awaiting the ad- vent ofa dark horse, and one member of our class emphatically says any one but Blaine. Eight have absolutely no choice. AMUSEMENTS. The sentiment of Milton's L'Allegro finds an echoing chord in the minds of most of the class and they are accustomed, more or, less frequently to Come, and trip it as they go, On the light fantastic toe. Class Book. 55 Eight of our number, however, never indulge in such frivolities. They 4 A Come, but keep their wonted state . With even step and musing gait. Not all of these object to dancing, in itself, but rather on account of its associations. They are the fellows who have high principles and live up to them. The reasons which they give point in this -direction and give evidence of no little self sacriiice. One of the eight says: I have no particular objection to 'square dances,' or round dances,' among intimate friends in the home or private parlor, but I do notthink that promiscuous dancing on society occa- tions or at public balls, is conducive to a high state of morals, to say nothing of the time and health squandered. Another says: For myself I know dancing to be a perfectly innocent amusement, but I can conceive of its being highly demoralizing, and consequently feel that certain features are objectionable? The majority of us learned to dance before we came to College. One happy mortal learned to dance before he could talk, since then, however, he has learned to talk in five different languages. Four or five were initiated into the n1yst'eries of the waltz at Easthamp- ton and other preparatory schools, Danu says: The young ladies of my village taught mel' and Norris received his instruction from Monsieur L'Compte, Paris. This accounts for his peculiar style. I-Ie learned to speak French at the same time, and consequently has gained three hours a week extra sleep during Junior and Senior years. Nine '88 men received their instruction in dancing from Prof. Loomis of New Haven. The waltz is the favorite dance with thirty-six of us. Many are the sentiments expressed in its favor but this one embodies them all : It satisfies my longing as nothing else can do. Nine of us prefer the Polka and five Lan- ciers, while Dann's young lady instructors inspired in him a deep regard for the Redowa. Georgie Richards prefers the stair-case waltz, because it is easier to keep step with my partner. Danc- ing, he says : He never learned, for, like poetry, it was born in me. There are onelor two features of this amusement which others beside the eight don't exactly like. Wilcox has no objection to dancing as long as somebody else doesn't monopolize his best girl, and another athlete says that there are certain kinds of jigs, which he objects to other people dancing in his presence. 56 Yale '88, S. Notwithstanding the dissatisfaction witl1 the way Sheff. is treated in Junior Promenade matters, we have all taken pa1't in them-all who dance and look back on them with pleasant reminiscences. The charity balls in New Haven and receptions at numerous fem-sems have taken from us for a time our more prominent society men. The New York Assemblies attracted quite a number of us in- Senior year, and Pat, the Hladies' man of the class, goes some- where every week or two, while a few, regularly spend their Saturday nights at the Armory, Germania I-Iall or some other danc- ing resort where the chippiesv nest. H - Tl-IEATRIOAL. New Haven, so say the managers, would be a poor theatrical 'town, if it wasn't for the students, and the members of the best class ever in Sheff. have done their share toward making the local theaters a financial success. Only two out of the entire class enter- tain an antipathy to the stage, and here again it is the evil associa- tions of stage life which give rise to their objections. A few of us are inveterate theater goers, others go whenever anything first-class comes along, some are governed by financial conditions, and the editors always wait for their turn. One man averages four times a week, four or five go three evenings a week, nearly twenty average two nights in the front row, while the majority are satisfied with once or twice a month. There doesn't seem to be much choice be- tween the New Haven theaters since the Hyperion has been refitted and decorated, and the fellows attend one as much as the other. During Freshman year, when the American was in its primegit was a favorite resort for a number of us, but that luxury is now denied them. Bunnell's offers attractions for some, but now the genial Gay is gone, the box ofiice has lost its charms. Then, too, in Junior year Sherman came among us, and he hadn't been here long before he pronounced his manifesto I draw the line on Bunnell's.,' Fred. Hamlin is our stage critic, and what he doesn't know about actors and acting hasn't been discovered yet. He can tell you the private and stage name of every actress who ever played in Chicago, and any interesting incidents in their history are at his tongue's end. Dan Perkins is pretty well up too, and is a good judge of acting. Several have had pleasant experiences with the profession during their college course. Ask Catlin. what he knows about Miss Fortesque, Dann about his charming cousin, or Johnson about the Bennett 85 Moulton Opera Co. , Class Book. 57 Tragedy and comedy have very' few exclusive admirers, but all like to see a good performance in either, and most of us know a good thing when we see it. NVhile none of ns admit a decided preference for tragedy, the choice of a favorite actor would give one that impression. Edwin Booth is by large odds the favorite of the class, receiving thirty-one votes, while no one else received more than six, Irving, Lawrence Barrett and Sothern each receive that number, Jef- ferson, Salvini, Frank Mayo, Frederick Bryton, Mantell, Gus NVil- liams, Sol Smith Bussell, Robson and VVilson Barrett have a few admirers and D. T. C. Perkins, Tommy Legler and Fatty King Q89j complete the list of those wl1o find favor in the eyes of the- class. In the choice of actresses too we show adeeided preference, and Mary Anderson is the favorite. The choice howerer is not so decided as in the case of Booth, and the Pride of America re- ceives only seventeen votes. Pretty Ada Rehan and the charming Margaret Mather are the favorites of nine of our theater goers, one of whom says: I think Margaret Mather as Juliet is the embodi- ment of all that is graceful and lovely. He is evidently smitten with the charming playmate of Steve Grummond. Modjeska 15, Ellen Terry f5j Rhea f3j Mrs. James Brown Potter f2j Miss For- tesque, Irene Murphy, Minnie Maddern, Maggie Mitchell fin her youthj, Agnes Booth, Myra Goodwin, Estelle Clayton and Our Cook are also mentioned. In the matter of plays, there doesn't seem to be any pronounced favorite, and over fifty are mentioned as having inspired in one or more a preference. The Sllakspearian tragedies and comedies, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Macbeth, Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, 4' Much Ado About Nothing, Comedy of Errors, Romeo and Juliet, and Two Gentlemen of Verona appear to have made some impression, f' The Hen- rietta, Jim the Penman, Rail Road of Lovei' and Caprice, are among .the later productions which have been witnessed with particular pleasure by some of us. Billy Bull thinks nothing com- pares with Uncle Tom's Cabinfl and little Eva is liis pet charac- ter, while another of our number is constantly referring to Agnes the reserve lover of Bertie Vanalstyne in Henrietta. MUSICAL. Although very few of us are accomplished singers, we enjoy music. The light or comic opera however is preferred to the Ital- 58 Yale '88, S. ian or German and the pretty chorus girls of the Bostonians are always greeted with a hearty reception by the students. We like to hear them sing the jingling choruses in La Traviata t Fra Diavola, Bohemian Girl and Mignon. And some of us when younger never, no never tired of seeing them on the 'deck of I-I. M. S. Pinafore. Erminie is the favorite with quite a number who remember very pleasantly the little singer from Auburn, N. Y. Faust, Lucia and Martha also contain airs which are familiar to and popular witl1 a few of our classmates. Our tastes in the line of songs and individual singers are not as diversified as might be expected. Clara Louise Kellogg, Patti and Corinne are the only professional artists mentioned. Among amateurs, Georgie Richards, Billy Bull, Fred Hamlin, Le Sassier and Steve Grummond are prime favo1'ites. Among the residents and frequenters of West Divinity 'The Mocking Bird,' as ren- dered by Jack Anderson, in his own ,peculiar style, has often moved the hearts of his hearers. Over in the Laboratorylin South -Sheff. 'The Light House by the Sea,' song, without accompani- ment, by Goetchius, was long a source of amusement to the hard worked chemists and biologists. Davison used to sing a little in Freshman year, but when he and Funk became farmers, he resigned in favor' of his Bloomington associate. His favorite tune was: You know. Spanutius, says he isn't much of a singer himself, but he does like to hear the chippy bird warble,' 'Meet me on the corner by moonlight. Hoggson says, Father, dear father, come home to me now is his favorite song, but he positively re- fuses to disclose tl1e singer at present. This will be done, he says, all in good time. Returning again to the work of professional artists, we find among the most admired the Swan Song from 4' Lohengrin and the Lullaby from Ermine.', Years ago, before any of the members of '88 S. had begun to think of Yale, the Facility of the good old College made a rule forbidding any person to play upon a musical instrument in the College buildings except between certain hours. They probably had in mind the advent of some such class as ours. Instrumentally, if not vocally, we are a musical class, or, if not musical, at least noisy. The piano is the favorite instrument with us, and seventeen claim to play upon it. Schwab is our most accomplished pianist, .and his instrument may be heard at all hours of day or night filling the spacious halls of W. D. with strains of classical GJ music. Boulanger's March and Mendelssohn's Wedding March are his fav- ' Class Book. 59 orite pieces. But we are not confined to the piano to inspire us. Just imagine the pandemonium which would reign if we were all turned loose on our favorite instruments: Banjo, 12, flute, 85 guitar, 75 violin, 53 Jews' harp, 4, occarina, 4, organ, 35 bass viol, cornet, cazoo, fife, mandolin, trombone, bass drum Cliullj, hand organ fLe Sassierj, accordian, harmonica and fog horn fShermanj. , Two of our number have had more or less prominence in College musical circles. Greer has played the bass viol in the orchestra for two years, and for the same length of time ltichards has taken a prominent part in the Glee Club concerts. Then, besides, there was that famous trio over in the YVhittemore block fDavis, Nelson and Sheltonj, who have made many a night hideous with the mournful tones of the occarinas. ' . We are not as a class very much inclined to be artists, although thirty of us have drawn on the average of eight hours a week dur- ing the last two years. Prof. Niemeyer failed to inspire us with the beauties of free-hand drawing and only two make any preten7 tions in that direction. Isbell is considerable of an artist and to him we are indebted for the neat sketch on the front cover. Hoggson says he has drawn ever since he was a kid and the Re- cord has several times printed his sketches. Miller draws his check once a month, a select draws the line on the way they swing part- ners at a Iiremen's ball, and one fortunate Q?j drew beer all one summer at eight dollars a week. ' CARDS. . Only one member of the class objects to card playing and the number of games which the others play comprises Hoyle's entire list and a number of others recently devised. Whist is the favorite with twenty-three, poker with eleven, cribbage with nine and chess with five. Other games which are played by one or more of us, are: casino, euchre, faro, set-back, seven-up, domino-whist, bazique, roulette, hearts, stop, twenty-one, forty-four, sixty-six, three-card monte, rouge et noir, slaps, commerce, Boston, solitaire, Califor- nia Jack, Old Maid and New Market. Griswold's favorite is but- ton, button, who's got the button, and Tucker plays horse. Far- quhar, one of the brightest men in the class and old enough to know better, says: I play whist, faro, poker, ' Euchre, too, without the joker, Seven up or high, low-jack, And other games with the festive pack. 60 Yale '88, S. He kindly labels this effusion, this is poetryj' and claims that it is original, but somehow it sounds strangely familiar to the statis- ticians. The three years which we have spent together at Sheff. have been very pleasant ones and we have all enjoyed them. Our personal tastes, of course, differ more or less and consequently events which have been most enjoyed by some have been disregarded by othe1's. Four of us remember the day we passed off German as the hap- piest event of our course, three have a similar feeling in regard to mechanics, and we all cherish tenderly the rushes which Proil Verrill has permitted us to make. Other events which are men- tioned in this connection are 'WVhen I found live dollars in an old pair of trousers, fTuckerjg when I crossed the finish line -first in the Harvard xiace, July lst, 1887, fWilcoxj3 when I hit G. Mason with a snow-ball, fCarterj5 whenever Yale makes Harvard bite the dust, f2j, and when we 1'olled Princeton in the mud last No- vember. Hoggson speaks with tenderness of the Hrst kiss of love received last summer and two or three think that talking to the girl they most adore is their pleasantest occupation. The entire engi- neering course unite in the belief that their most pleasant oc- cupation is hearing 'Tuck' recite and Ellis ask questions. The most depraved mind in the class writes in answer to the first half of question 44: Whitney ave., stone wall, chippy, and addsuthat was before the 'cops' got to sitting there. Reading, boating, riding and flirting serve to amuse quite a num- ber of us, but Shelton thinks that for good solid fun nothing can compare with studying geology, and another continues, Watch- ing the disgusted look on Verrill's face when anyone makes a rush. I3 LITERARY TASTES. Very few of us will leave New Haven without taking some mem- orabilia of our 'course besides our sheepskins. Score cards, dance orders, posters and the like, seem to be favorite articles for preser- vation. About twenty havecomplete files of the News or other college publications, which will be almost invaluable in the future. One of our number preserves, as a pleasant CD reminder of his Junior and Freshman' years, five little autograph notes from Prof. Wheeler, which read, At a recent meeting of the governing board you were re-conditioned in German 5 and in connection with these Class Book. 61 five receipts reading, Received of --, 'five dollars for an extra examination in German. Another member of our illustrious class promises to preserve Questions to the class by the '88 S. statis- ticians,', as the most remarkable conglomeration of words and ideas existing. His answers, however, could not be recommended for the abundance of ideas. The college papers have been liberally patronized, the mwspespec- ially having a large circulation in the class, and being the favorite college publication of all but six. Of these, three prefer the Lil., two the Record, and one the Courant. Easterbrook, Le Sassier, Moore, Parlin and Walcott have contributed to the Mares more or less, and Moore ftwo yearsj and Parlin fone yearl, have been on the edito- rial board of that best college .daily in America. C. B. Berger and C. E.Curtis have held similar positions on the Record and Cour- ant respectively, and Sherman and Shigemi have had articles in the Lit. New Haven daily papers are not very highly valued by us of '88, and the majority of us agree that The Register is the best, but none ofthem amount to much? The Palladium, however, re- ceives nine votes, the News five, the Courier two, and the Union two. The New York papers fare better than the local sheets, and re- ceive generous acknowledgment. The Times and the Zribune are the favorites, and each receive twenty-one votes. The W'orld and Ikrald are not without admirers, and receive eleven and ten votes respectively. IIarper's Jllontlily and the Century are by far the most popular magazines, although 7Vze Forum, Scrlbner's,0uling, North Ameri- can Review and Popular Science .lllonlhly are mentioned. Charley Shelton, however, prefers the Fireside Companion and Babyhood, because they are the most applicable to my needs and congenial to my tastesf, Jim Nelson thinks nothing can come up to the Bridgeport Farmer, and the man who received thirteen Ger- man conditions in two years, has developed a profound respect for 'f Die Monatliche Wissenschoftliclle B1iitter, and says it is the most interesting to him. 1 62 Yale ,88, S. '1'aAVEL AND VACMIQNS. iVe l1ave not been vcry extensive travelers either before entering college or during our course. Shigemi came all the way from Shanghai and stopped at nearly every port on the way over. Alexander and Carter have spent more or less of their lives among the man-eaters of the Hawaiian Islands and have crossed -the conti- nent several times. Garneau has also spent some time among the Pacific islands. DelfVolf spent the summer of '83 in Europe and traveled through England, France and Switzerland. Franchot has traveled as extensively in Europe as any member of the class having visited England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Bull, Field and Stewart spent the summer vacation of '87 in Europe. Bull and Stewart having taken an extended bicycle tour through England and France. Judson, Prouty and Walcott have traveled more or less through Europe. Farquhar has also visited Europe and has traveled extensively in Scotland and Ireland. An- derson, Dickey and Judson have been to Canada, but 11ot in such great haste as -other noted men have been obliged to adopt. Dock- endorff is the onlyman in the class who has any personal knowledge of South America. Nearly all the class have traveled quite widely in the United States, and there is not a state or territo1'y in the Union which some of us have not visited. Bond, Legler, McCrea, Patrick and Sherman have traveled more extensively than the rest of us in this country. Spanutius claims not to have strayed very far from home and says that Montowese is the only foreign country he has ever visited. Several others mention atrip to New Jersey in November, 1886, as the extent of their foreign travel. Taken as a whole we are a pretty stay at home crowd and even our long summer vacations have not called us far from the ancestral roofs. WVe have, however, had representatives at nearly all of the pop- ular watering places, and many a quiet nook among the lakes or beside some of the inland streams will long be remembered by some of us as a happy camping ground. The majority have been, less fortunate and have idled away the summer months at home- playing tennis, riding, reading, and in at least one instance, break- ing hearts. Others have been even less fortunate than that, and Class Book. 63 have been content to labor, during the 1'est from studies and class- room exercises. No 'less than iifteen have earned their own living during this time. Some by selling books, some by waiting at sum- mer hotels, some tutoring, and two or three working on a farm. Shigemi spent one summer of his course on a lecturing tour through Vermont, accomplishing a double purpose, by replenishing his own purse and instructing the good people of Vermont in The Man- ners and Customs of the Japanese. One man spent last summer in Pennsylvania laying shingles, with the thermometer 1100 in the shade and 110 shade in the neighborhood. HI longed, l1e says, to be once more under the classic shades of dear old Yale. At the same time, another unfortunate was taking his first lesson in art, and drawing beer at a seaside resort for eight dollars a week. Not at all an uncommon occupation with some of us has been bon- ing for the conditioned examinations in the fall. Thirty or more of us were very fond of our German books during the summer of '86, not so much perhaps because of our love for German as because of our decided antipathy to German conditions. But in spite of all these drawbacks our vacations have been sea- sons of pleasure to all of us, and prominent among the pleasant reminiscences in years to come will be these summer months when we were Yale students. I , OPINION S. Opinions in regard to Sheff's most pressing need have been ex- pressed as follows: Money MSD, A four years' coursev CSD, dormitories f5j, new laboratory QBQ, Money andubrains to use it f2j, South Sheff. torn down, More practical work, be- quest of s5,ooo,ooo, better instruction in French, more build- ings, campus, better accommodations for large classes, a more competent instructor in engineering, to pay the Profs. a respectable salary, more congenial instructor in German and Geology, another student like myself, another class like '88, more spons and less work for the biologists. Fifty-three men express themselves in favor ofa four years' course, while only tln'ee men express themselves as opposed to it. Others say: Yes, if a machine shop be added for engineers, not for a degree of Ph. B, we do four years' work in three. The class is about evenly divided as regards Sheff. Represen- tation on the Junior Promenade committee. Reasons given for favoring it are: It would more closely unite the two under- 64 Yale 'ss, S. graduate departments 151, because we are expected to help sup- port the affair 141, we deserve it 121, it would give us more importance, because Sheff should have representation on every college affair of any importance, it is an undergraduate affair, the increased attendance would give the Promenade additional brillianey, Sheff. shares in its maintainance, and consequently should share in thc honors of the positions on the committee, Sheff. composes the most part of Yale. Reasons given for not favoring it are: because Sheff. l1as only a three years' course 1141, it is a Junior academic affair 131, the corresponding Sheff. class is Senior, Should be independent and have a promenade of our own, not best to be where you're not wanted, already enough distraction in Senior year, beneath the dignity of the class as Seniors to have representation on a Junior committee. The methods proposed to secure representation are: refuse to purchase tickets 1161, ask for it 121, agitate the matter early Vin the Fall, f' withhold support, by continued agitation, ap? point a committee to confer with the Juniors, by Sheff. Seniors taking the initiative, by an invitation from the academic Junior class. . The opinions expressed regarding tl1e action of the '89 committee in the matter are:- their action was right 161, selfish 141, partly right, partly wrongf' unfair, scurvy, U very silly, afew members of the committee took too much upon them- selvesj' the '89 committee were hogs, they acted according to the desire of the academic department, a pure Harvard crawl. Forty-two members of the class approve of a class ivy, while fifteen are opposed to it. Seventeen men do not express an opinion on the subject. ' Most of the class are extremely reticent about giving a per- sonal opinion of the Sheff. societysystem contrasted with that of the academic department. From those who do express themselves on the subject a few are quoted: regard the Sheff. system su- perior 151, injurious to class feeling, has not as good an effect upon the University at large, does not stimulate athletics as much as the academic system, members are chosen too early in the course, too great a tendency to destroy class feeling and class friendships, society prejudice gets the better of class pride, the feeling which should belong to the class and college goes to tl1e society, better from a. social point of view, doing more for a man in three years than the class system in four, nar- Class Book. 65 rows the friendships of college life and deprives the students of the enjoyment ofthe thoroughly academic life which is characteristic of an-y large university GQ.

Carter wishes to inform his young lady friends that he is free now and will be in the market as soon as college closes. The majority of us have no very definite idea as to when we shall marry.

Comparatively few of us have any boasted achievements. Nine- teen declare tl1ey have none, Legler has not time to state them. The achievements of the few are: taking the select course and passing off Botany, Freshman year, setting off fireworks in West Class Book. 67 Divinity, Hpromptness in answering these questions, tried to make the Lit. and f'izzled, getting off a German condition and 'stealing a 'copis' hat, can repeat all the books of the Bible in order ', Ulockwoodl, falling in love tNortoni, being engaged 'to three women at once QTuckerj, passing off nine conditions in five weeks fMoorej, have bet almost constantly on Yale and never lost fAndersonJ, passing off German, eluding the 'peelers' on several occasions, and stroking the fat men's crew fBullj, ran into a three-masted schooner with a twenty-four foot cat boat and came away with all on board safe, after losing the gai and part of the cabin, QHoggsonj, a Sheff.
