lege paper, containing a faithful expo ition of college affairs, life and organization has long been a great de ideratum with the 9

tudents here.

So notwithstanding the harsh tones of war are sounding through the laud, and have drawn so many from our number, we have is ued this first number of the Watervilleian. I t is intended to delineate a faithful portraiture of affairs here so that our friends can ee what we are doing, how we are doing it, and the influence by which we are urrounded. Necessarily its pages are mostly stati tical, but the fact incorporated into them will doubtlesss be entertaining to all who are inter t d in our welfare." It was hardly a literary exponent ; but, being principally an advertisement to the college, was rather a sort of upplement, at the expense of the student, to the annual catalogue. The original name having been slightly changed, the seconc1 number appeared in Novem ber 1863 as "The Watervillian." In 1864 the price wa rai ed to '7 cents." In 1867, owing to the change in the name of the college, it seemed nece sary to give a new name to the paper, ince "\Vatervillian would be applicable only so far as the locality was concerned. While regretting to part with the old familiar title, the student were con oled by the reflection that it came from no de ire on their part, but from r al necessity. So they called it THE ORACLE, and its first two number 1 67 and 1868, were in ize, form and contents, imilar to tho e of it pr d ecessor, The Watervillian. Like the latter paper, The Oracle was founded, establi bed and published by the students under the auspice of The Literary Fraternity and the Ero opbian Adelphi, two editor being chosen from each society. Thus it continued till 1878, when the afore aid societie�, having become about defunct, the management wa re igned and delivered into the hands of the students as a body. In October 1 884, The Colby Oracle Publishing A sociation wa organized. In accordance with the provisions of its constitution, there are two manag ing editors, cho en in yearly rotation from the secret ocietie , which offices tqe non- ociety men are prohibited from holding. The duty of the managing editors is to look after the busines matters of the con cern. Of the literary editors, one is chosen from the non-society men and one from each secret* society. From convenience of vicinity the printing is this year done in Water ville instead of as formerly at Lewiston. Our readers will judge of the quality of the work, and we have only to say that to us the change has been in its results thoroughly satisfactory ; we have gained much accom modation and saving of labor. In June 1869 the "Colby Chronicle and Zeta Psi Annual" was brought out. This was the largest and ablest effort in Colby's journalism that * .d T,

The attempt made la t fall to change the Oracle into a Ju nior p ubli-

cation failed. The general sentiment was aver e to the plan, and ' indiscretion killed it.

Her oul tbat a little while before had been in blis 0£ expectation, now, like the damn d one in ight of paradi e, behold heaven and feel hell. Yet it might have been otherwi e with her· he need not have been o entirely undoo . There are ome plausible arguments and some valid rea on wher with the claim for the supposed a ivantages of a Junior over a G neral pub lication might be advocated. Had he devoted her elf to candidly enforcing a generous consideration of the whole omenes oi the e claim , rather than to so strongly maintaining the commanding priority of her talents,-her ready pen and her bright intellect and her fertile imagina tion and her weight of wit and her nice aptne s in quoting the wit of others,-may be she would have been more succe ful. ( nd may be not). Had there been fewer smooth words, fewer trifling promi e more veracity, less pugnacity, and could mock humility have but mor gracefully, more artle siy concealed a bold countenance perhap tho e strenuous effort would not have availed o fruitle ly, perchance h rs might have been a lot thrice happy. till it can be hone tly and sen ibly que tioned whether. from a literary or financial standpoint, it would be desirable and wi e in any college whatsoever to deliver the Publi hing Association of the Annual into the hand of a ingle cla -Senior or Junior-of twenty or thirty members of crude experience in compo i tion for the most part, and all of whom have habitually empty pocket books. The one aim of the board this year ha been to plea e the boys. And by this, don't understand u a meaning that we would cajole a rotten sentiment in regard to False Order , or hazing, or any other damnable custom. Fun and frolic,-good honest fun and real frolic, and genuin e sport,-are right and never ought t o die out. Only take out the mischief, the wrong and the outrage, and we say, abating that, go ahead. We have tried to make no such chaotic, irrelevant affair as ''Colby's Constitutional History of the United States" (a long subject but with little in it).

The thesi above advanced i not confined to any individual coll g , but is found in nearly all birrher institutions of learning. Let no one assume from any tatement herein that these feeling and con equcnt di turbance are e peciall .v prevalent at Colby. We believe t here are few in titution where le hazing is done than under the e clas. ic hades. On the other hand, we can not deny that this barbaric relic still to some extent exi ts among us. Years ago, in the pro perity of the now ob olete Phi Chi, the principle and practice of hazing often led to personal violence, and sometimes to the infliction of permanent injury. But advancing public sentiment finally demanded and obtaineCJ the edict of college authorit,v against such oppresssiou. Grim Phi Chi was disbanded and lives to-Oay only in song. Its fundameural principle became modified. Hazinďż˝ to-day, and formerly. might be compared to an actual riot and noi y brawl, the latter productive of angry word and wo unded feelingsďż˝ with few other effect . Per onal Yiolence would now neither be tolerated by college authorities, nor, except in cases of real or imagined provocation, by the great majority of students. Most of the e rare cases are due to a belligerent spirit on the part of the Freshman, which would meet opposition in any walk of life. He who enters upon his cour:e, unbiased by concE:ited greatness, and not deluded by the false idea that his own and others' business are synonymous, need not fear personal molestation. Disregarding then the past with all the terrors which the uninitiated persist in applying to the present, we shall confine onrseives strictly to the que tion of to-Oay. It is doubtless superfluous to enter into an explanation of the practice 14

Another and more deceptive argument i that it develop an indi xtent this vidual and gives him valuable experi nee for life. To om is true.

Yet but few years pa not share the guilt by challenginu act . They become p•lrtie to the evil and ar instigator of act le culpable than actor . pper cla. men stand ever ready, with tudied irony and ridicule of ina ·tion, to fo ter angry disturbance. None who have not experienc cl it can know th amount of influeuce broiwht to bear upon an individual who would oppose the practice. Few can be found among student , who have b n strong enough to face the stigma heaped upon them by their fellow and keep them elves from all defilement.

In earlier days, each ucceeding year a dark-clad funeral train with plaintive song·, slowly trod the way to the hallow grave. Around the pall-covered bier they halted for tile tribute of eulouy and wailing; then, gently heaping the clods over the corp e of Mathematic , they scattered, where, none outwardly knew. We speak not in approba tion of these rites, but we would wish one more burial, in vmbols, which should mean the perpetual repo e of the deceased. Wo�ld that ome cla , scorning tlie taunt and coif, mj�ht bury the custom of hazing so deep that they would never be inclinetl to re urrect it, and that succeed ing classes should labor in vain to restore its former life. "\Ve feel �ssured that it will come; and we hope to live long enough to witness its neglected grave. Would any cla sman be willing to eclipse the present reputation of his class for a short period, in order to reap permanent praise, let him urge these principles upon hi fellow clas mates; for to some class which shall have the union of courage and resolution to accomplish the work, remains a respected immortality. What oue will be strong enough to win the boon ?

He was familiar to many in the upper classes, and

course at Newton Theological Seminary, be was a

conscientious and brilliant student; aud when he was called to be a professor in bis Alma Mater, it was felt that the right man was secured- one whose record and character as a gentleman was known.

Among the roost important o f these w i l l b e b a t h rooms-a con

venience we have always felt the need of greatly an<l especially now that athletics have taken snch a boom. A few days after we returned for the last term of the year, we were pleased to welcome a new assistant at chapel exercises.

At last the wheezy

cabinet organ has been }Jermanently banished and in its place now staud hand ome Vocalion, as it is called.

It is not a cabinet, nor yet a pipe organ;

but by a new invention it combines the mechanism of the former with the tone of the latter, so that all the richness of the pipe organ i

ecured.

It bas

two banks of keys, a pedal key board, and the bellows are furni heel with wind by means of a water-motor, thus making it a vf".ry powerful iustr111neut and capable of many pleasing combinations.

It not only adds immeasurably

to the i n terest i n chapel singing, but gives those of the studeuts who are musically inclined an excellent opportunity fo1· organ practice.

On the eve

ning of May 18th, the organ was "christened" by a cot1cert and organ recital gi ven to the stndents and citizens. I n regard to music i n general very mncb can not be said.

The only musical

organization is the college quartette which now has been i n exist � nce for three years.

"by can we not have a glee club?

We certainly have the rn«terial

for a good one i f some one would only take hold of the matter and awaken interest enough to make i t a success.

Other colleges no larger than ours

become well known thtoughout the country by reason of their glee clubs, ancl the formation of such a club here woul<l not only benefit the college but develop a stronger taste for music among the whole body of students than has existed before.

In the fall the campus was put into the bands of a gardener for improve

ment.

Some of the walks were raised and gravelled, and plans were made

for further work i n the spring.

It i s the i n tentiou to fill i n the whole campus

in front of the buildings and generally beautify our surroundings.

And w he n

that i s done, would i t not b e an excellent plan t o help along nature's endeavors to make the bank alongside of the river the prettiest place in

Waterville?

The situation and natural advantages are certainly of the best, and with proper attention, the ground back of the college could be made as sightly a n d more so t h a n that in front. its claims should not be

With a campus as naturally picturesque as ours, disregarded.

External i mprovements as well as

internal add greatly to the reputation of a college.

ill H E acts and deeds of men go down on the pages of history as so l many good and so many bad examples of what can be accomplished and what might have been accomplished bad circumstances perhaps been a little different, and bad they been otherwise situated. The acts and deeds of classes-groups of men--ought so to be recorded and set be'fore the gazing countenances of a wondering generation as examples of brilliant acts and, perhaps, new reforms instituted. Such acts and deeds of classes prove also, in a greater or less degree, to be the forerunners of similar actions on the part of the individual members constituting that class ; for nearly all class enterprises are suggested by leaders, or those who are worthy to be such, rather than the ideas of the entire class as a whole ; and these ideas are carried out by the class because of the confidence lodged by it in the one suggesting them. Thus, in a measure, will this, perhaps somewhat history, be a prophecy, and as a prophecy will be considerably more authentic than many so-called prophecies. Nearly four years ago the class of '88 began its existence. From the start it was marked as a class that would win distinction in its college course. It numbered thirty-three. Of this number five were ladiesÂ the largest number of ladies that bad ever entered in one class. Of the male members of the class there were twenty-eight, of all sizes and ages. To be sure, when they entered the chapel for the first time on that September morning they did look slightly verdant, and some of them did bear that lonesome, home-longing look which follows the young from their paternal home. But this soon wore away, and from beneath those broad-rimmed hats beamed forth countenances indicative of intelligence and good resolutions. The first year was not noted for anything extraordinary. Of course 42

intere ting banquet on the island (Bradley's) and a literary programme made a plea ant end for our

ophomore year at Colby.

Our Junior year opened with bu� twenty-five members in the cla s. This year we found ourselves very differently situated. In our Fre hman year we acted on the defen ive ; during our ophomore year we acted on the offen ive plan. Tb.is year it was our place to sit back and eujoy ourselves watching the performances indulged in by the two lo*er cla es. This year too, of course, we bad more lei ure time than before. During the fall term it was our plea me to give an oyster supper to the Fresh man class, in return for their brilliant base ball victory over the Sophomore class. .At the middle of the term the class had the fir t real cremation ever held at Colby. It was a grand success in every way. The body to be cremated was that of Wbateley's Logic, which had been used here for such a long time that it got rather stale to many. .A full description of this was given in the last ORACLE, to which the gentle reader is referred for particulars. As an innovation, it was a grand suc cess, and added another to the many of '88's novelties. During the winter term we lost one more of our members, making our number twenty-four; and later on in the year another left us, thus reducing the number remain ing in the class to twenty-three. As Commencement approached, the class agitated the question, whether it would be better to plant an ivy, which would soon die, leaving as a sign of its ever having existed a plate of marble duly marked, or to pre ent to the college a gift which would stand for the admiration of future generations. The latter course was adopted ; and instead of the customary Ivy Day, '88 held Presentation Day, when it presented the college with a cast of Diana and the Stag. This grand statue now stands with the remainder of Colby's art collection, and will remind the generations to come that there once exi ted a class at Colby which was worthy the name. 44

There are material changes, and mental as well; there

However it is not with the unhll.ppy

that the class of '89 ever shirked responsibility during its tadpole existence, for such is not the case.

As Freshmen we bore meekly the customary indigÂ

nities, but were quick to resent all impositions beyond the traditional. Sophomores, we tried to treat the class intrusted

to our charge i n such a

manner as to win the approval of their parents, and of the "powers that be." Our success was complete. aside childish things.

And for union we are

The Devil is an Alls, I do acknowledge it.

� HIRTY-FOUR is our number, and some of us as big imps as ever trod 'f the soil of our terrestrial globe. But that is not all ; six or eight of us

are-are co-eds.

These latter articles are sufficiently well-known to need no

great description ; the same old definition, "Bipeds without feathers," applies as accurately to them as to the rest of us. For two years we have been trying to make a n impression on the college. As Freshmen we were quite conspicnous ; that is, conspicuous for our ever ver dant freshness.

This year we have thought to do something; but the present

Freshman class is bigger than ours, and all we can do is to feel bigger, and talk bigger, using words as large as we can balance, and intermixing much pomposity.

Casting au average of all the experiences of our first year, we

find it to be this, to witness :-Duckings, tears, sobs, sighs, defeats, a.ad the annihilation of our everything save our immortal gall.

Our gall and our

cowardness, in the proportion of half and half, were foreorclained by the gods to be indestructible ; each is a counterpoise to the other, and thus our souls still live.

And so by virtue of our own peculiar, yea, unique qualities,

we passed the metamorphosis of the Freshman year, and not a man was killed. Not a man, we say, for co-eds you must know, are unkillable; the gales and blizzards of the Freshman year sweep over the extensive plantations, and whistle down the broad backs of the rugged hills and hummocks, and howl askant the high shoulders of the abysses throughout the land of Co-eddom ; but no damage is done ; co-eds, we repea.t, are unkillable. When we returned at the beginning of our Sophomore year last fall, we meant to be tough and real smart.

'\Te thought we knew how to haze Fresh

men ; and if we didn't know, we meant to learn.

So Wtl did all the petty tricks

we could remember having seen others enact, and invented as much mischief as our own imagination would allow.

We did our best at tormenting, bull

dozing, and befooling every Freshman who happened to be alone and friend less ; and if we could only set him in a bowl of very cold water, and wash his face with a foul sponge fastened to the end of a six-foot rod, and spit upon him, and make kim cry ancl humbly beg for mercy, why then we jeered, and grinned a horrible grin, and swelled with pride ; we believed we had accom plished glorious deeds of courage, we could carry our heads far on high, 68

elated by the laurels of Bloody Monday Night.

Our ideal throughout the

year has been Beellzebub ; that ideal bas been largely realized, its power has drawn us into all sorts of scrapes.

Need we mention the cider-mill affair, or

the railroad band-engine (in which matter the Fre hmen outgeneraled u ), or the signs, and how we, miserable cowards, fled the pursuit of the policeman, only to be totally disconcerted a little later ?

and groan even yet I

Need we bring to mind tho e nice, mellow apple , and

those sweet grapes, and how the profes ors caught us at them ? or that incen足 diarism over the hill-side whereby the Univer ity met a dead lo s ? or those smashed windows iu Coburn Hall and the barrel of water-white oil which was to keep our lamps filled and burning free-gratis for a whole term, and how the using proved it to

merely pure water ? or those broken panes in the

recitation room , and the stove funnels and cover

stolen at midnight, and

how we tried to worry the janitor, and be outwi tted us at all points ? or how we planned for cuts, and our boyish plans and pranks were rudely frttstrated ? Oh ! how shamed and vexed we were !

Need we relate about bow we tried

to smoke out a Freshman, but him the fumes braced, while our own stomachs turned traitors and we acted like

bakespeare's sick girl ? or how we put

molas es on the eats of the Fre hmen in Chapel, aud Prexy et us up for it ? and bow then

the

pangs

and tormenting remor e of conscience made u s

cringe a n d slink like a cowed culprit ? or h o w w e faithfully served t h e Deru at large week days, and on

undays as loyally waited upon the Lord minister足

ing his holy word in the pulpit of his sanctuary ? from "purpose noble, motive true ! "

All this and more we did

In fine, if the truth were told, we have

strained to upset everything and everybody, and the only usual re ult has been that all the calamitie , all the failures, all the disgraceful farces have recoiled and fallen on our owu heads. It i s true we have heads cunning to contrive, and hands skillful to execute any m i chief ; it i s true our deeds of dal'kness have been many and abomina足 ble, yet i n one thing we have done good.

The Freshman cl:i.

, has been, with

scarcely an exception, kept under sufficient re traint by u to prevent their forc足 ing their obnoxious freshness upon the rest of the college; this is the especial thing which at all times and i n all places Freshmen are wont to like to do. A Freshman thinks disagreeableness means smartness.

The ruder and more

impolite h e can be, and the greater sensation he can arouse, in the degree he expects to force himself into favor.

ame

This premature smartness we

nipped in the bud, and it has been, so far as lay in our power, constantly kept at a minimum.

In this we did thorough work and a worthy serrice.

This we claim should be atonement for our vices.

H ave you seen a blade of wheat Growing from the ground, Till with i n the head complete I s the kernel found ? Grain u n ripe before your eyes ! Look, and you will see That it has its greatest size Still i n verdancy. Did you ever see a lad Leave his freshman year ? With as great importance clad Seniors ne'er appear.

(;) NE fine day in September, j ust after I had flunked for the last time in the high 'f;' school, my father called me to his library, and placing his hand affectionately on my head, thu he poke: "My son, thou knowest that I am such a man as not to favor any political party; but since there is such an enormous surplus in the United States treasury, I have resolved to send you to college, where you may learn the masterpieces of the great author ; how that Demo thene de!h·ered those splendid orations from the forum at Constantinople against the Briti h for sending troops to destroy our country; and perhap , after you become as learned as Demosthenes, you may be able to get your hands on a little of that surplus in the United States treasury. Go, my son, with my blessing; and if those college professors can make anything out of you, they will do what I have long despaired of. " Thus he dis missed me, and that is how I happened to come to college. I found there were about forty of us in the Freshman cla s this year but we will be more next year, that is, sophomore. Pretty good, isn 't it ? Made it up myself, out of my own head, by Jove ! But as I was aying, we were many and great Fresh men. One day, after chapel service, while looking at them, I wa overcome and I wept. Why ? Because that durned Soph. had poured a bucket of water down my spine. As time went on, we lost our apples, our peanuts, our candy, our cake, all which we had fondly hoped to keep for luncheon, all went to fatten up the Sophomores. They made a descent on our peaceful home, and our cheese went we know not whither. From their thieving raids we lost our courage (although some persons were malicious enough to say we never had any), and I truly believe we should have lost ourselves if they had wanted to use us for anything. The very first night that I was here in college, I had a forerunner; Aunt Mehita ble calls it cramps, but I call it a forerunner, because the last time I had it, Deacon Dick's old donkey was taken sick and died. \Vhen I told Uncle:: Lemuel about the coincidence, he said that my disease was probably catching, and that lhe other don key had it in a more aggravated form, and hence his death resulted from it. I have often wondered whether that was a sarcastic remark against me or the donkey. But as I was saying, that night I had one of my forerunners. I knew that some thing was going to happen; and sure enough, at a very ghostly hour of the night, twenty fierce, black-visaged goblins entered my room. My hair stood on end; im mediately I fell on my knee ; when the Grand Mogul said: "Ari e, child of a short lived race, we mean thee no harm. The object of these twenty guardian spirits of the college is to see that you rightfully belong here, and that you can pass the ex amination we shall give you. " 76

I afterwards learned that I passed the examination very creditably; for while I refused to admit it when they asked me if I had been in the tate prison, some of the Freshmen unguardedly confessed that they had sojourned at Thomaston several times at the expense of the State. A t the end of the examination, a testimonial of our proficiency was awarded us; that is, one of their number, with a large wet sponge fastened to the end of a broom-stick, did swab our feet. Alas I that my father's son should have to undergo such an indignity I I have always been a deli cate child, and I can well imagine the alarm of my relatives, if it shou1d ever be come known to them. ot very long after this event, our peanut drunk took place. The true details are not generally known; so I will take thi opportunitv to set them forth in a plain straightforward manner. Owing to the fact that our class has ever been truthful and utterly unable to use deception, or perhaps owing to the extreme vigilance of the opbomore , the time set for our peanut fe rival became known. Thereupon several ophomores beguiled a few Freshmen into one of the room and did fasten them therein. vVe were naturally angry, and determined to rescue them. So while the ophomores were scattered, looking out that we should eat no peanuts, we, thirty strong, rushed up the stairs to victory. After a de perate conftict for ten min utes, we succeeded in overcoming the two ophomores stationed at the bead of the stairs, and broke the fastenings of the door where our classmates were imprisoned; and although the impri oned members refused to come forth, since they feared ven geance would come upon them in the future if they allowed themselves to be res cued in that way, yet we felt we had achieved a victory, and we went forth upon the campus and sang till morning. Just before early-born, rosy-fingered dawn lit u p the eastern sky, our chief chin-slmger appeared and informed us that the sacri fice was ready and that the omen were favorable. " W hy, " said he, "your sing ing bas completely demoralized the ophomore . I j u t came upon a group out here debating as to whether that noi e was the yells of a crowd of lunatics, or the cries of dying calves. So come quickly, for our worthy treasurer bath his pockets filled with the peanut shells and a whole quart of good plump peanuts in the top of his hat. " So quickly we sped to a seque tered room i n South College, and there drew Jots for the good plump peanuts, and depo, ited the shells carefully in a heap on the floor. The ophomores soon di ·turbed our peaceful gathering by deluging us with water. Though annoyed, we managed to di tribute the peanuts, giving to one, two; to another, three; and to a very few, four peanuts each, according to the lots which each one drew from a hat. In this manner did we defeat the wily class of '90, so that but a very few of its members were enabled to get more than two peanut each. So passed one of the mo t succe ful nights that '91 ever spent on the college campus. I would fain clo e this narrative here; but alas I as a faithful historian of the class of '91 , I must chronicle her defeats as well as her victories. The long po tponed, but ever-longed-for day for the ball game between the two lower cla ses came at la t. O n the campus were gathered the beauty and the chivalry of the col lege, the daisy of the high school, the stripling of the Institute and the yagger and ragmuffin of the town. The sky was overcast with clouds, the sun bid his face from the excited, yelling crowd, the Aurora Borealis was-, well I don't exactly re_ member where i t wa ; but since it is a timid creature, it was probably hiding behind the grand stand. The temperature was at zero at first, but gradually, as the game progressed, the temperature went up to 9 1 in the shade. I t soon became evident

that the Freshman nine was playing a losing game; and although we caused as much delay as possible, the inexorable hand of fate steadily pu hed 'go on to victory. Night descended and the Sophomore-Freshman game was an event of the past. This history is nearly completed. Enough has been written to show that the class of '91 possesses a history; humble though it may be, yet it is as dear to us as the history of any grander organization can be to its members. We do not mean to say that every event in which the class of '91 was interested has been set forth in this short article; but rather that we have selected from all the events, such ones as shall best portray the distinctive character of a model Freshman class and its his足 tory. In conclusion, I would like to say that the class of '91 bas ever been noted for its loyalty to Colby's interests, and for the generally friendly feeling which it has main足 tained with the members of the upper classes. Our loyalty to the college has been touchingly manifested on various occasions; at no time more so than when at the request of the Sophomores, we contributed our money and our promises to the inci足 dental fund, a fund to be used in repairing and beautifying the college. And we, though often deceived, adopting as our motto: " Be a Freshman while you are a Freshman, " a motto which has won for us the respect of all generous upper class足 men, have accepted without anger whatever trials have fallen to our lot, a course of procedure which bas gained for us generally the good-will and friendship of the upper classmen.

Tired sit the editors I n their sanctum writing, And with many b lots and blurs , Whileâ&#x20AC;˘no i n spiration stirs, Seek to frame a thought i nviting. But their powers o nce aglow ' M idst their thoughtful paces, From their quills refuse to flow ; And the M u ses answer n o , As they seek their graces.

SUCKLING •

Merrily, merrily, sing the birds, They're overflowing with surplus words, Crowding each other in playful spite, None can tell whether wrong or right. So many too, did you ever see .As many birds so full of glee ? Birds on the ground, and birds in the aii-, Birds on the trees, birds everywhere. They've just returned from the sunny South, .And have gathered here, by word of mouth To offer up thanks and give Him praise Who guides them in mysterious ways. Wonderful songsters, thrilling our hearts With liquid notes as daylight departs. In the deep forest echo the strains Once heard, the mem'ry ever retains.

Beautiful brook Through the meadows gaily making Many a crook, Flashing back the golden sunlight, Changed to amber ere the twilight Deepens nearer, When night's sable hues partaking Stars beam clearer. Rippling ever, O'er the pebbles quickly splashing, Pausing never. Sounds, l ike the laughter of childhood, Echoing oft through the wildwood, Burst on the ear : Melody sweet, by the da bing O'er rocks so near. Merry the tone, Deeper the musical meaning Told him alone Who understands Nature's language, That study rich with its own age. Knowledge so grand, With which the old earth is teeming, Comes from His hand.

was 5 to 3 in Colby's favor. It wa the econd game and the econd victory. Each side made four error . The Bowdoin team cored all it runs in the l a t two inn ing . The confidence in the team ro e higher. Every one seemed to be elated. l\fany cau. es were a signed by Bowdoin for its defeat. Principal among them being the pre ence of their famous ma cot "Whisker . " He wa n't the right color. The third game wa al o played on the home grounrl . This time on Decoration Day. It wa on tlti day, a the poet ay , 'omething dropped." A large audience saw the Bowdoin boy depart for Brunswick victorious and filJed to the brim with enthu ia m and confidence. The score wa 17 to 3. In one inning alone Bowdoin macle n ine run . It was a complete walk over for Bowdoin. The olby team never played a poorer game for many a ea on. A l l but two of it player made error . It sen-eel a a cooler and bad the effect of bracin<>' th boy up to better work n e x t time. Bowdoin brought no ma cot with them thi t i me. They played a good game, but won through the loo e fielding and poor batting of Colby. The fourth oame occurred a t Brunswick, Ju.ne and was ea ily won by Colby. In thi <>'ame, Goodwin wa o sick that after t he fifth inning Wagg the cban ve pitcher occnpied the point very effectively. The batting on both ide was very heavy. The fielding, e ·pecially of Colby, wa fi ne. In thi game Colby outplayed i t opponent at every point, althou<>'h crippled by i t captain's illne s. The core was 13 to in favor of Colby. a n d b y t h e victory, the repre entatives of Colby again won the PENNANT. The victory wa celebrated in a rou ing manuer at Waterville that night by bonfire , proce ion and banquet and general rejoicing. A l l Waterville was out e n masse, extending it congratulations aud hopes for future ucce in the same line. The .fifth and last game wa played a t Bangor. Colby sent u p her second n ine to compete in this game. Bowdoin ent up a l ittle better one and were victor by the core of 14 to 9 . The game was a loose one and was without much intere t, now that the championship bad been settled. The season was ended, and the teams returned to their college work, leaving behind them many rejoicing and many weeping hearts. At Colby aJI was rejoicing. She bad again won the pennant, so often brought beneath her clas ic shades. She won it, as she always has on i t s merit . She always plays a game as well as she can . No grand stand applanse or circus catches inspire her players to higher honors. No individual record has charms for her team. Harmony and u n i ty of purpose accomplishes for her what other team seem unable to do. For six years she has honestly won the Maine I nter-Collegiate champion ship. It now looks as if Colby would be its permanent home. The prospect are bright now for a repetition of what she has done before. The ORA C L E only hopes that Colby will win for her many admirers the much�oveted pennan t of

They don't work a hard as the Colbys. They fight so much among themselves. They are too windy. Something ougbt to be done for it. We would very respectfully suggest pumpkin-seed tea. Tbis harmless preparation, it must follow, is said to be excellent for babies. In their heads, almighty gall crowds out everything else. They always win the championship in advance, and then rest on their reputation for bragging. They overestimated themselves. 'Twas the same old conceit--that they are the flowers of creation and we the weed . But granting their claim, that their greatness i more than could be extracted from the sum total of common mortals, 'twas the Colbys they tried to beat and coulcln't. "Forry" did the business. They have a truly marvellous facility in gracefully playing the highly creditable part of woebegone tail-enders ; and you know how the Devil is wont to take hindermo t. And o, naturally enough, their highest base ball ideal i the idiotic mummery of nine Bowdoin Devil. , o to speak. Ha ! H a ! 1\Ien of exalted honor, they felt the need of a moral whiteÂ washing. Sniveling uncler a sting of guilt for the doubtful piece of business in which, by some fatality, they bad been mixed up the year before, their base ball faculties were stultified and dulled. A whiteÂ washing they got and with moral certainty, but 'twas a whitewashing of this kind-Colbys 2, Bowcloinites 0. They were so dazzled and blinded by the brilliancy of the Colbys' sun of glory that they lost al l sight of the ball. They couldn't see it as it whizzed over the plate. Ala ! Faint hearts ! Their attention was detractecl from the game to the pretty women loll ing round about meanwhile. And the Bowdoinites smiled. Ahem ! Yes, smiled as sweetly as an ass who bas stuck his head into a treacle barrel and is licking his chops. 120

M Al\TY of the al umni of Colby will be surpri ed to know that our (§ . .l. curriculum has been enlarged by the addition of compulsory

physical exercise.

Some of our aged, but respected, al umni will give a

characteristic shrug to their

boulder

when

they see that Colby has

added an Instructor in Gymnastics to her Faculty.

They will immedi

ately picture to themselves the athlete and the athletics of their day. Their athlete was a professional "slugger,'' proficient with the gloves and on the bar, and their athletics consisted of a few tricks in the gym nasium or an afternoon walk to Fairfield. To you who are thus prejudiced, this talk is especially intended ; it will tell you that our Instructor is a college graduate who will soon add

M. D. to the A. 1\1. which he has already won, and that a systematic

course in physical exercise will enable Colby to carry out her aim of

securing for her students a "sound mind in a strong body."

A nd it is

hoped not only that your prejudices will be removed and your heart warmed toward your Alma Mater, but that your purse strings will be loo ened to provide for the improvements which are yet nee<led. Systematized athletic training at Colby is yet in its infancy.

In April

of the spring term of 1 887, Mr. Follen, formerly an instructor i n the Boston Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, made his appearance.

He received a

hearty welcome from the boys and they went to work with much enthu siasm.

Mr. Follen was handicapped by lack of suitable apparatus, and

as he was in doubt as to bow long his stay at Colhy .would be, he did not enter into his work with the right spirit.

Field Day decided his

fate, and he left Colby the n ext day. The Faculty did not fail to see the interest which had been awakened i n athletics and they promised to endeavor to secme a suitable instructor. They found the right man in our present instructor, Mr. Adams, who arrived during the fall term of 1 887.

Mr. Adams had been thoroughly

instructed i n Sargent's System of Physical Exercise, and he immedi

ately began his work with the little apparatus he could find in the gym126

nasium.

For the purpo e of ascertammg what exercise each

needed, mea urements were taken and student.

adver aries ; what the re ult will be, we do not know, but if the best base-ball ma terial in Colby, aided by patient practice and gentlemanly conduct can win tbe pennant for 18 8, Colby will be the victor. Tennis becomes more popular every year : it is a game which has come to stay. For the college student there is no sport which is so well adapt d to hi need ; combining moderate exerci e, clo e attention and quick action, it gives exercise to both the mind and body. There is an added interest attached to the game because it is one in which ladies can join, and it is unfortunate that the young ladies of Colby do not have the advantage of this sport. A tennis league between the Maine colleues will probably be formed before long. Bicycling has a few admirer but the wheelmen are not numerous enough to place it among the foremo t of Colby's ports. I there one alumnus wbo doe not feel his heart beat fa ter when he think of the evenings he ha spent on the Messalonskee ? Do you not remember how much you used to enjoy a boat ride with that dear girl ? This i one recreation which an alumnus find unchanged. The same plea ant tream, probably the ame boat, and mo t certainly the same dear girl, enlivens the evening of the student of to-Oay. Boating i yet confined to the Messalon kee. There has been considÂ erable rli cus ion, the past year, a to the advisability of Colby's putting a boat crew ou the water. The project has not met with much favor, principally becau e neither the Kennebec nor the Me alonskee are suitÂ able for profes ional boating. The annual Field Day was ob erved with the u ual programme. A few new events were added, which gave more interest to the day. Five of the previous records were broken, and good records were made in the new conte ts. The cla cup and rope pull were both won by '90. But an article ou Athletic at Colby would not be complete without reference to the athletics of the ladies of Colby. As their exercises are taken with locked door , we can give but a meagre report of the progre s which they have made the past year. That the ladies have taken regular exerci e in the gyIDlla ium under the instruction of Mr. Adam , that ther have ecured a horizontal bar, Indian clubs, dumb bells, etc., for their Hall, is all that is known. Of the many improvements which Colby has made this year, there has not bt:en one which ha been enjoyed o much by the students, and for which they are so thankful, as the establishing of a liberal course in Phy ical Exerci"e. And the students have shown their appreciation of this advantage by the faithful work they have done in this department. 1 28

TEN DIRECTIONS IN REGARD TO COLLEGE LIFE, FOR THE EDIFICATION OF FRESHMEN AN D OTHERS NEEDING INSTRUCTION. 1 . Never retire before twelve o'clock. and amusement. campus exploits.

The evening should be devoted to study

I t is the select time for poker parties, rural excursions and To sleep during this most interesting part of the college day

will prove you a crank.

2. Learn to awaken easily.

It is an unalterable rule that you should be present

at every peanut drunk, Sopbo-Freshman collision, reading-room carousal, etc. To be absent from

uch an occurrence is to lose the chance of a life-time.

3. Don't rise too early.

The idea of getting up with the sun is too old-fashioned

for any but country farmers and backwoodsmen. for sleep.

Make the best of the morning

Running to and from breakfast in order to reach the recitation room on

time is exceedingly healthful and invigorating.

4. Should you fail to reach the recitation-room on time, don't think i t your own

fault.

I n such cases the bell-ringer's time is invariably incorrect.

It will do him a

favor if you so inform him.

5. If you fail to recite, remember that only a Fre hman would think a Bunk due

to lack of study.

The professor should not have assigned

o long a lesson.

If he

bad assigned none at aJl a flunk would have been impo sible.

6. Never plug out a translation.

This proce s bas too much re emblance to the

work of the fitting-school to be adopted by any good student.

To do without a

"hor e" is unpardonable.

7 . In the reading room do your duty to your elf and others.

defeat the object of the room.

Quiet reading will

If any individual attempts to do so, be sure to talk

to him, fire something at him, or if these fail, push him away. report all damages to the President of the Association.

Don't forget to

That official is responsible

for all broken lamp chimneys, torn papers and stolen oil, and it is your duty to charge him with the responsibility.

learn to work under difficulties, and you

9. Go to every train that arrives.

I t is advantageous to all to

hould aid them in this acquisition.

The train official , ciepot men and passengers

are all delighted to see you, and you are under obligation to contribute to their happiness.

1 0. Last, but not least, learn well your duty as a Freshman, that in due time you

may attend to Sophomoric duties and fitly assume the position of upper classmen. The Faculty will place in your hands a copy of laws for your guidance ; but higher and more obligatory are the unwritten laws of college customs.

The violation of

one of these will permanently destroy your reputation. By strict regard for these instructions and such others of a kindred nature as your judgment will from time to time sugge t, you will achieve the highest success here and graduate with the admiration and respect of all.

There i a youth who e eyes and hair Are of a darki h h ue, Who e face was alway bland and bare, Till after studiou thought and care A gentle mou tache grew. In the seclu ion of his room

He tadies night and day ; His mode t feature ne'er a ume Ee tatic joy or dreary aloom, Nor arrogance di play.

When wint'ry sleet begins to fall, And breeze cool shriek through the stall Where stand the dappled steed,Then in our veins we eem to feel The life-blood to come thick, congeal, Like rain in freezing blast. Old people feel the older then, And wi h they mjght be young again With vigor as of yore ; But since they cannot change their fate They smoke their pipe at double rate, As if cold to overcome. The aged sire cuts Jackson's best.

His krufe for age deserves a rest. But no . It's equal, none. Tho' it's been worn and ground to bark, He robbed of it, would one thing lack And look forlorn indeed. 140

Invitations were sent out to the chief people of the realm, aud a brilliant company of noble with their ladies sat down to the feast. Only a mall piece of Drake coul<l be given to each as he was naturally small of tatnre, and he had shrunk con iclerably in the boil ing ; but it wa evidently not quantity but quality tliat cannibals l ike, for the a embly arose to a man and declared it the best mis ionary they had ever ta ted. If the ill-fated young man obtained no great dis tinction in life he certainly did in death. The king, having bi appetite harpened by the above mentioned Drake. determined to ample Hatch before pa ing him around. The whi kers stuck in bi throat, however, and the royal barber had to be calle l in before the fea t could go on. The next fowl (foul) wa Roberts. He looked tough, but the king bad the utmost conficleuce in b i cook o he was carvel and distributed. Just a they were about to fall to with a reli h, every individual piece of Roberts struck an attitude and exclaimed, "I'm a ophomore at Colby, and I'm here to tell you about it." This was certainly a little out of the ordinary cour e for a roast mi ionary to act in such an unbecoming manner, and it wa almo t decided to throw him over as a batl egg ; bnt greecl overcame surpri e, o they shut their eye and gulped him down. It wa afterwards a certained that several of the party died from the effect of the last mouthful. The doctors called it heart cli ea e, but i t i the general opinion that Roberts bad been moking a pipe o n the day of hi execution, and was made sick thereby. A ick bird i nevet· fit for food. The next bird was a coot of the Gilmore genu . It had every appearance of being but lately fledged, and bore some re emblance to a wet go lin. It seemed t o be partially weaned, and frequently made frantic but futile efforts to crow. It tail feather were ju t prouting. Though its exterior was indeed forbidding, the culinary art of cannibal cuisine soon rendered its flesh tender, succulent, and inviting. It was found to be fre her than a Fresbman,-due, doubtle , to it young age ; quantities of alt brought it to a better condition. Being still quite flat, however, various edibles, with condiment , were added viz : Pepper (Jack) , Peas (Chas. ) , and some Greenings (co-ed). These ingredient , having been thoroughly mixed and churned, were nicely frica eed. There emanated, while cooking, an exhilarating, aromatic odor, which seemed to have a twang to it. An examination revealed that Gilmore had no oiJ-pot, but in sub titution therefor an alcohol-pot. The effect could have bad but one cau e. Through the diligent and self-denying researches of our special 164

exploring agent, it b a been a certained beyond a doubt that, whatever may have beeu their primitive ta te , the cauuibal of the pre ent day are violellt hater of hor·e-fle h. Thi truth which had a l ready been formulated a- a theory, w a further Yerified by thr following u n ique epi ode. For two long hour the hardy fea ter had worked unremit tinalr and with ardor unabated ; their Ju ty appetite seemed in atiable ; "l\Iore ! i\I ore . " cried their capaciou maw . J\lis ionary urti ' orry carca . till un erved eethed and immered i n the i ron cal<lron. By pecial order of the teward, it ha<l been a1·e fu l l y re en-ed a a ort of pa try de ert, a urti alone of all had a dougli-heacl.

The teamin a >ictim wa placed on a clean p l a tt e r and ta tefnlly t rimme 1 with hor e raclish leave ; the moking gravy (bloo l) wa p re pared in a bowl which h ad been oopell ont of Robert ' head ; and thu , though it never p rofit tl it" former omier, the head \Ya made u eful to other .

It lo� wa t ru l y a evere blow to our friend, for the auimal wa a fa t one and of a rare breed. But i n the haml of bi trange ma ters the pony proverl to be balky. To cure the balkine a meta l l i c pin wa neatly in erted i n hi caudal extr mity ; by uch cruel treatment the pony wa killed,-died of lock jaw. Then it wa that a number of thing happ ned. The pony' lean horly wa duly in terre 1 bu t it immortal oul wa wafted un een , drawn pirit, i n to the fond bo om of it old friend and a. to w a rd a kindred .!! 11arcliao.

From having been a teetotler he took to drinking ale -hor e-ale ; the angelic tone of his boyhood turned,-he was heard to neigh. All thi and more wa made clear by the po t-mortem. But to return from the digre siou : by command of the king cannibal, MissionÂ ary Curti 's u ele bulk wa divided and subdivided then abandoned to the prey of the element . His oul was ecurely pinioned, pickled in a very alt brine for the space of three days, aud finally cremated. Thi keen di appointment to the appetite of the hardy feaster was somewhat allayed by the fact that Gilmore's head wa found to be a punkin bead, and was now temptingly served in th e form of the best of pttnkin pies. Thu they peri heel, and the la t end of these missionarie wa wor e than the first.
