PREFACE.

.47 atE7'

Tif

F ONE were oppressed with some mighty secret 'eV . which must not be revealed, yet which was burning out his very brain with its wild insistent demand for utterance, perhaps he could fix upon no better plan than to write it in the preface of a book. Here he might suffer it to lie bidden for ages without fear that any prying glance of mortal eye at least, would ever violate the sanctity of its retreat. But the fact remains that every well-regulated book must have a preface, and this, the "Log" of the Class of 1904, is distinctly a wellregulated book. So, for the benefit of such readers as may chance upon these hidden pearls, I give a few words in introduction of this devoted volume.

In this connection it may not be amiss to call attention to the difficulties under which this book is produced. Primarily, it is intended to serve the Class of 1904, by whom it is published as a memorial of their years of intimate association in Seminary life. But since the book is intended to be offered to the public as well,it is neceslary that much of the contents should be of public interest and capable of general application. The editors believe that they have been fortunate enough to sue-

ceed in happily combining these two ends. Even those parts of the book devoted to matters apparently of the most restricted interest will be found not unworthy of general perusal.

Those who have read former "Logs" will find in this one many changes, both in form and contents. Although the plan of the earlier issues is preserved, we have not hesitated to make even very radical alterations when anything was to be gained thereby.

In conclusion, we desire to express our sincere thanks to Messrs. Hill and Baggs, who have so earnestly and kindly acted as our sponsors in the financial world; to the rest of the Editorial Board, who have worked so bard and faithfully and who have been as a unit in their work in the face of that "hostile and unsympatbizing element"—" who always have our interests at heart."

To those who have so kindly assisted us in this work, both materially and with their good wishes, to our dear class-mates, to students of other classes, and to our friends outside the Seminary, we give our most sincere and hearty thanks.

ORthe past eight years Williston Seminary has been under the charge of Rev. Joseph Henry Sawyer, M. A., L. H. D., who was born in Davenport, Delaware County, N. Y., May 29, 1842. After preparing for college at Franklin Academy and in the local schools, he entered Amherst, and was graduated in 1865, missing the valedictory only by cast of lot. The next year he taught in Monson Academy, and in 1866 came to Williston, where he has ever since remained, either as instructor or principal.

His services at Williston Seminary have been so numerous, so various, and so invaluable that his name seems inseparably associated with its entire history. In 1875, with infinite labor, he prepared the Alumni Record, and he has kept up the alumni correspondence from that time until the present. He organized the School in the fall of 1876 for Dr. Whiton, and in 1878 he rendered a similar service to Dr. Fairbanks. He was acting principal from 1884 to 1886. The years 1895-6 were spent in travel and study broad. In 1896 he became principal.

In January, 1904, Dr. Sawyer and his wife went to Italy to spend the rest of the winter. At intervals very interesting letters from Dr. Sawyer were published in THE WILLISTONIAN. Dr. and Mrs. Sawyer returned to Easthampton on May 4, 1904. They were enthusiastically welcomed by the student body on their arrival, and every one seemed glad to have their beloved principal at home again.

Principal Sawyer has been connected with the School for thirty-eight years. Very few can boast of such a long service as this in the same school. In every respect his administration as principal has been successful. The membership has increased from#104 to about 200, and the Sawyer Athletic Field, with all its equipments, has been secured through his influence.

Principal Sawyer's service in Williston has been so advantageous to the School and to all connected with it that every one sincerely hopes for a long continuance of the administration of Rev. Joseph Henry Sawyer.

MIR. SAMUEL. WILLISTON

WILLISTON SEMINARY.

ILLISTON SEMINARY is situated in the beautiful village of Easthampton, Mass., which lies in the very center of a cluster of educational institutions.

The founding of the School originated in the mind of the Hort. SAMUEL WILLISTON, a man whom hundreds of young men and women have learned to love and respect. After years of thought and deliberation as to the best method of bestowing his charities, Mr. Williston decided to found a Seminary for young men and women. In February, 1841, work was begun, and in December of the same year the School was opened to students. The institution then consisted of one two-story wooden building. Students then remained in the school-room to study under the direction of the principal, Luther Wright.

This first building was found to be inadequate, for the School was popular from the first, and had opened with a roll of ninety names. Hence, in 1844, a second building—the present Middle Hall—was

erected. This was a three-story brick building containing dormitories and recitation rooms.

In March, 1857, the original building was destroyed by fire, and the present South Hall was erected in its place.

The Gymnasium was built in 1864, and North Hall in 1866. Later, the Mansion House was purchased, and became Payson Hall, the School cottage and dining hall. In 1872 the Astronomical Observatory was erected, and furnished with a sextant and a five-inch refractory telescope.

In 1864 the School ceased to be co-educational, and it has since then been a school for boys.

The laboratories have been fitted up with all necessary apparatus at a great expense, and the classical departments have their rooms decorated with famous paintings and works of sculptors.

That the students might have every opportunity for developing strong muscles and healthy bodies, a lot of six acres was lately taken from the Williston

homestead, and has been converted into an athletic field, containing a quarter-mile oval track, a straightaway track, and football and baseball fields. For buildings it contains a grand-stand and an athletic house.

The teachers in every department have always been the best men obtainable, and by association with them the Williston man is led to feel a desire for the brightest and best things of life.

Attendance at church twice each Sunday is required, and devotional exercises are conducted by the principal every morning, except Sunday, at 8.10, in the Seminary chapel. A Y. M. C. A., conducted by students, holds its weekly meeting in the Y. M. C. A. room at 6.10 each Sunday afternoon.

A valuable library of many volumes, and a reading-room containing the leading periodicals and news-

papers, are found in Middle Hall. The different departments also each contain valuable libraries.

Two debating societies, Adelphi and Gamma Sigma, give opportunity for practice in debating.

The School, for the past eight years, has been under the able management of Rev. Joseph Henry Sawyer, A. M., L. H. D. His ability as principal is shown by the increased roll of students and the hearty co-operation between students and teachers.

The School has not been brought to this good condition except by the efforts of its founder and teachers, and every Williston man has a deep love for his Alma Mater, a great honor and respect for those who have made it what it is, and each one, remembering that "Not failure, but low aim is crime," is striving to bring honor and credit to WILLISTON SEMINARY.

AMHERST COLLEGE

OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY

AMHERST, MASS.

APRIL 29, 1904.

Members of the WILLISTON Loa Board:

It is a very unsafe thing to ask a graduate of any institution or "thing" to write a letter, because he is always tedious and lengthy, and can only "reminisce." Still, I am relieved in the last matter, as President Lee, of the French College in Springfield, has done up the fifty years' business in an address a few weeks ago to you. So I can only bore you with a few words when I say that I want you all to realize that you are now having the sweetest period of your lives, and sweet just because your joys and associations are simple and come from the heart: are not tainted with style, etiquette, finesse, fuss, and elaborate traditions. They are the joys of the boy.

You'll have the joys of public success by and bye, the delights of the billing and cooing with your life-loving partner. You'll have the joy of accumulating treasure, honor, and public confidence, but these will come because you have toiled, perspired, dug and fought to get them. But now your happiness comes naturally, in the way of normal and healthy growth of youth. Now you are full of fresh, sweet sap. Later on this sap will thicken into heavy and thickening juices, developing into wood and bark, and a little fruit. "Rejoice, oh young man, in thy youth!"

I want to thank you and all the other Williston boys for the sustaining, manly and responsible support you have given to the old School in the absence of Dr. Sawyer. You have in this way been of great help to the glory of old Williston, and it has been a grand means of self-culture, to help you bear the burdens of life as they pile upon your strong backs and shoulders, as the years go by.

Keep in happy cheer, knuckle to hard work, help the next fellow, and take a few minutes every day to be serious and to appreciate your great responsibilities and the preparation for the everlasting life.

E. HITCHCOCK.

GREETING.

T would not seem altogether fitting to speak of the brilliancy of the sparkling waters without giving a few words of description and explanation of the fountain. We may say then that the preceding section of our "Log" has been devoted to the history and affairs of the fountain, the Seminary; but now we wish to introduce our readers into the section of our book exclusively devoted to the sparkling waters, the class of nineteen hundred and four, an issue from the never failing fountain. It seems best to give a sketch of the Seminary and Seminary affairs as a whole, since we truly realize that it is the source of our present worth, and that it is to our Alma Mater that we attribute the fact that we are able at all to speak to the world as a class. The following section of our book, devoted to the history, characteristics, and deeds of our class is indeed the sole purpose for which we strive to leave this book to our friends, our Seminary and to our fellow students, as a token of remembrance of the class of nineteen hundred and four.

Should this book contain a complete history of our Seminary, together with a complete history of its different organizations, and not contain this section of the book about which all else centers, we would consider our work a failure. We trust that our readers will do us justice and will not forget that this is only an account of a class in school, where the opportunities for greater accomplishments are necessarily limited; but if perchance we seem to have advanced beyond the limit, and to have accomplished those things which lay beyond all human expectations, it will be remembered that the success is due to those marked abilities, unrelaxing ambitions, and lofty conceptions which characterize the class of 1904. We welcome you into the pages of the following section of the book, devoted to our own class affairs, and hope that the reading of their contents may be to you a source of much pleasure, and may serve you as an ever-living memoir of the class which wishes ever to bold you among its dearest friends.

'O'HIS most illustrious Class began in the fall of 1900, when a young lad in knee-breeches called at the Principal's office a few days before School .opened, to apply for admission. His name was Web Hill, one of a long line of Hills who had gone

through Williston before him. He was the beginning of the 1904 Class, and bow nobly he has maintained that honor we all know. A few days later,"Rudy"

Moffett was seen on the campus surveying the buildings with his big Brother "Bob." His power as a leader was soon manifest, and he was very shortly elected• president of the little band which now comprised Earl Guy, Eddie Leitch, Archie Walker, Harry Winton, Phil Slattery, Leslie Mason, and a few others who have since left School. The progressive spirit which this class has ever maintained began right here in its earliest days, when they boasted of a basket-ball team and a base-ball mine, and, more than that, they appeared in class caps before any other class that year. The next year brought in a whole army of "bucks" who were destined to be the muscle and sinews of this glorious class. First came "Charlie" Miles, with a big reputation as a basket-ball player. He is now ready to leave Williston with a reputation even greater Than that with which he entered, not

only in basket ball but in many other respects. That same year a colony from Delaware was founded in South Hall, at the head of which was "Charlie" Harmon, generally known as "Ichabod Crane." This fellow, with his rich, Southern dialect, who is so modest, and who is considered the most bashful man in the class, has been our Daniel Webster all through the course. "Schofield" Long is a member of that colony, as is also "Herbie" Thomas, he of athletic fame. "Charlie" McGraw, from the tall pines of Maine, joined us, and by his good work he has greatly assisted the class. One September afternoon of this same year a young man with a violin under his arm knocked at the office door of the Glendale Mills and inquired if it was Williston Seminary. He was quickly turned over to a policeman, who directed him to the object of his search. This fellow turned out to be "Charlie" Hwntjens, who has honored the class in several ways, and who is now the class president. McAllister and Mills decided that 1904 was the class to join, and we also had the pleasure of enrolling two more Easthampton youths, Clancy and Cobb. "Bill" Parmelee and "Daffy" Anderson, considered the two brightest lights of the class, because of their auburn hair, tacked on to our procession, and so did "Artie"

Ryan. Paul Johnson, whom the class will ever remember as genial, docile, good-natured "Pit," came up from Naugatuck. That rushing tide of the fall of 1901 brought to us "Charlie" Niles, to whom, on account of his pleasing disposition, rightfully belongs the title of being the best-natured boy among us. That same tide, sweeping down through Vermont, brought "Grubbie" Swift along, and at Granby. Eular Lane and Roy Blish were engulfed. Howard Locke, the Stonewall Jackson of the class, also became one of us that year.

When School opened the next fall there were a great many more recruits waiting to enlist in the ranks of 1904 than there were the year before. Searle, Mulcahy and Gunn were the first who were accepted, and a little later "Bob" Batstone came sailing in with Nestor Light. Walter Guilford, the "sport," and "Bob" Vaughn, the ball player, were next seen on the campus as full-fledged 1904 men. Two fellows from different sections of the Commonwealth joined us that year, Stanley Cox and Harry Clough. What a tower of strength Harry Clough has been for us in basket ball, foot ball, track and scholarship, need not be mentioned here. He is the versatile man of the class. Stanley Cox has been a star man on the basket-ball team, and he has held

up the honor of the class at Smith and Mt. Holyoke. Cushing came in a little late in the fall, but we were glad to get him, and we willingly overlooked his tardiness. Even Schuyler Rust had heard how the 1904 Class at Williston was sweeping things, so he left his little Rutgers 44 Prep." to join the ranks, and on the same train that brought him came Ralph Goodrich and Hector Marsh. Baggs, Jones, Abrams, Wilcox, and Paul completed the list of those who .entered at that time.

Last fall, when we came back as proud and dignified seniors, even then there were some who wanted to join us. Our class was pretty large but we made room for them. "Bones" Hodgkinson, the fellow who is so exceedingly fleshy, came tripping in with "Sam"

Andrews. 44 Sam" is the acknowledged champion hotair thrower of the School. The next fellow who bought a ticket was Fred McRobert, and he has proved himself a very worthy addition to our numbers. Otto Von Lyding, who reminds us of Henry Clay or Daniel O'Connell, in his deep, stentorian voice called loudly for admission, which we granted without hesitation.

It is needless for anything more to be told of the class here, when you have simply to turn the pages of this book to find every detail. I might, however, • add in closing that we as a class feel thoroughly satisfied with our work for the past four years, and our earnest hope is that our work has been satisfactory to those who have our best interests at heart.

OF 1904.

DEMURE and sage, bereft of mirth, And snugly clad in knowledge wise; At least in under such a guise, Ye seniors passed for sterling worth.

But soon will undeception come When face to face with standards grim Ye pause,—and being fleet of (lower) limb The field too soon 'II rid of some.

As nature bath endowed her few With traits which she herself despises We can't but smile, to see disguises Attempted, to her plans undo.

So we forgive, and overlook That which is innate, unaffected. But think not, ye be undetected In practicing your hook and crook.

JOAN OF ARC.

VERIIAPS no nation in the world except France can look back into the annals of her history and Ii id an epoch in which a woman was the sole means of the deliverance of her country. Truly no nation can boast of a heroine more illustrious than can the French. We read of a Countess of March who defeated Dunbar most courageously against Montague and an English army; Jane Hatchett in person repulsed a large body of Burgundian troops; Queen Philippa during the absence of her husband in Scotland headed an army against David the Scotch king, took him prisoner and shut him up in the tower of London; we find frequent mention of heroines in the Bible and among the ancient Romans and Greeks. Numerous other famous women may be spoken of in the world's history but where among the archives of any nation shall we find a woman's name which will surpass, nay, which will even equal the name of that renowned French heroine, Joan of Arc?

Singularly all these illustrious women of the middle ages who performed deeds of gallantry and courage belonged to the noble class, wives and daughters of warrior princes who lived in castles and who were

identified with certain aristocratic institutions. Possessed with courage and chivalric virtues, the plebeian class received no attention from them except attempts to• oppress and to crush them. In this age of chivalry Joan of Arc appeared. She rose from the Irimblest class, she could neither read nor write, a peasant with scarcely a friend and with no influence. She was born in the little obscure village of Domremy in 1412. Her mother being ignorant was unable to give her the simplest educational advantages,but early imbued her mind with the sense of duty. Joan was devout and faultless in her conduct. Her spirit was poetic, superstitious and full of romance, but her piety was the most marked and extraordinary of her peculiarities. She was employed at home in spinning and sewing, and when the household duties did not require her services she devoted herself to the sick.

A legend at that age founded on an old prophecy was that the Marches of Lorraine were to give birth to a maid who was to save the realm. It seems that when only thirteen years old Joan saw visions and heard celestial voices bidding her to be good and to trust in God. The Saints 'seemed to appear to her, encouraging

her in virtue and indicating to her that a great mission was before her—that she was to deliver her king and country. Such claims have not been treated with incredulity or contempt by French historians.

At this time France was in a critical state, being afflicted by those wars with England which lasted nearly a century. The whole country was forlorn, miserable and drained of fighting men. At this time Charles VI of France was insane and his second son Charles declared himself king of France as Charles VII. Being a boy of but fifteen years he lived as gayly as he could, sometimes wanting the necessaries of life.

The Duke of Bedford, by whom Charles was hard pressed, resolved to take Orleans which was the key to the south—a city on the north bank of the Loire, strongly fortified and well provisioned—but here at this critical moment Joan of Arc appeared. Although as we have said she was uneducated, still she comprehended the condition of her country and she made up her mind to deliver France. She knew nothing of war, neither was she accustomed to equestrian exercises like women of chivalry. Her purpose was firm, however, and •straightway she endeavored to secure an interview with Boudricourt, the governor of Vancoleurs. With the greatest difficulty she succeeded in obtaining an audience with him, only to be laughed at and chastised for her pre-

sumption. She returned to her home, but with resolutions unabated. The voices encouraged her and the common people believed in her. On her second inter view with the governor she secured a sword and a letter to the king from him.

After a long delay and much persuasion she was admitted to the royal castle and ushered into the presence of Charles VII. To the king she repeated the words which had thus far acted like :1 charm: "I am Joan, the maid sent by God to save France," and she demanded troops. Naturally there was much - doubt on the part of the king and his court. The sum of the demands of Joan of Arc were the control of the siege of Orleans and permission to cause the young Dauphin to be crowned at Rheims. Whether the ruling powers believed in her or not they at last complied with her wishes and prayers.

The maid set out for the relief of the besieged city clad in a beautiful suit of armor bearing a white standard embroidered with lilies. Under her influence an army of six thousand men was collected. Arriving at the walls of Orleans, Joan herself succeeded in effecting an entrance on a white charger and the people thronged around her as an angel of deliverance with wild demonstrations of joy. First she repaired to the cathedral and offered up thanks to God,then she summoned the enemy to retire. After a few days the French troops entered

the city with supplies, a little later retaking the fortifications, led on, cheered and encouraged by the heroic maid.

Only part of the mission of this heroic woman was fulfilled. She had now the work of crowning the king at Rheims to perform. This task seemed impossible to the king and him court since the city was in the hands of the enemy. The nobility admired her courage and intrepidity, but beyond that they considered her ideas and demands absurd. The common people had full faith in her however and fully believed she was specially aided by God. At Tours the king met the maid and he would have bestowed royal honors upon her, but she declined them. It was not honors she wanted. To all personal rewards and praises she was indifferent. She wanted only one thing—an immediate march to Rheims. She pleaded and begged for money and troops, but the royal council hesitated and offered every available excuse. The maid persisted and finally won them over.

The army with Joan at the head mounted on a black charger began the march to Jargeau, which they easily carried. They then advanced against Bauge. There the French and English troops met in an open field; victory sided with the French. Next they captured Troyes. From Troyes they marched to Rheims. There the English who had heard of Orleans, Jargeau and

&Ingo made no resistance. The king entered the city and was immediately crowned by the archbishop, Joan standing by his side bolding her sacred banner.

The mission of Joan of Arc was now accomplished. She had done what she had promised amid incredible difficulties. Kneeling before her sovereign, she asked for no other reward than that her native village should forever be exempt from taxation. Feeling that her work was done she would have returned to her mountain home, but the leaders of France, seeing how she was adored by the common people, were not disposed to part with her.

Here Joan made a mistake. Her mission completed she should have returned home. Her career had thus far been one of success, but now the tide turned and the rest of her life was marked with signal failure. Her duty had been to deliver Orleans and to crown the king at Rheims. She had no genius for war. Though still brave and dauntless she now made mistakes. In trying to relieve Compiegne, a city besieged by the enemy, she was captured by John of Luxemburg, a vassal of the Duke of Burgundy.

The news of her capture produced a general feeling of relief among the English. The maid was found to be human like other women. Her successes were attributed not to her inspiration but to demoniacal en-

chantments and she was looked upon as a witch or a sorceress.

The remarkable thing connected with her capture was that so little effort was made to rescue her. She had rendered to Charles VII an inestimable service and still he deserted her. Neither he nor his courtiers appeared to regret her captivity, possibly because they were jealous of her. No offer for her ransom, no threats of vengeance came from the France to whom she had given a king. Alone and unsupported by friends she suffered the cruelest of treatment, charged with heresy and stigmatized as a sorceress,brutally treated by guards in an iron cage and mocked by those who came to see her, all under the forms of the ecclesiastical courts. Finally after repeated suffering she was rudely dragged to the funeral pile, fastened to a stake and fire set to the fagots. She expired with a prayer on her lips.

The singular cruelty displayed at the end has since been a subject of much criticism. The English who had suffered bitterly from the loss of Orleans were eager to get possession of her person. They had their vengeance to gratify. The more they could throw discredit and obloquy upon the maid of Orleans the better their cause would seem. Therefore they gladly paid John of Luxemburg ten thousand !lyres for her. Once in their possession nothing could be more cruel than the treatment of this heroic girl at their hands. "The Jews," says Michelet, "never exhibited the rage against Jesus that the

English did against the Pucelle,"in whom purity, sweetness and heroic goodness dwelt.

It is one of the most insoluble questions in history why so little effort was made by the French to save the maid's life. After having rendered that country such a service, it is strange that they should have forsaken her. Why should she have been treated as a witch when she possessed all the qualities of an angel? Why should not her love for her faith have preserved her from the charge of heresy? Even chivalry, which ever worships woman, disregarded Joan. The base ingratitude of the French and their king in the neglect of this girl will ever be.a dark page in the history of France. A powerful nation killed her and one equally powerful abandoned her.

Thus was sacrificed one of the purest and noblest women in the whole history of the world—a woman who had delivered her country without receiving either honor or gratitude from those for whom she had fought and conquered. She died a martyr, not for her religion but for her country. Never was there more cruelty and injustice inflicted on an innocent and noble woman. Burned as an infidel, her last words recognized the Saviour in whom she believed. She was only a peasant girl and the great could not bear to feel that the country had been saved by a peasant. The martyrdom of Joan of Arc is an additional confirmation of the truth that it is only by self sacrifice that great deliverances can be effected.

HIS closes the portion of our "Lou" which is devoted to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four. The rest of our book is devoted to the affairs of our Alma Mater as a whole. The final hour has come when we as a class must bid farewell forever to this dear old place,our fellow-students and our friends. We leave many of our efforts exemplified in our "Lou," which we bequeath as a monument erected in honor of our Class, and which we sincerely hope will ever serve to keep the memories of Nineteen Hundred and Four green in the hearts of her friends. It is the last work of the Class as a united organization; we are hereafter to face the world with its cares and anxieties, not as a class but as individuals; the old class yells and songs which so often resounded from hall to hall and which ever found a sweet retreat in our joyful hearts must now be considered as pleasures never to be repeated, yet never to be for.

gotten. Those pleasant moments spent upon our fields of sports, in our society halls, and while in the classroom holding communion with those whom we reverence as our faithful instructors, are now to remain but moments of tender reminiscence.

But even though we are no longer able to maintain our position as a class and even though we have vacated the halls wherein our voices resounded for four happy years, yet we trust that we will not soon be forgotten and that our lives and deeds both as individuals and as a class may long serve to command honor and respect for the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four. We have lived our Seminary life, our work is ended; and as the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Four, we bid our last and most solemn farewell to our friends, our fellow-students and our beloved Alma Mater—Farewell to each and to all.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR.

de? 0

Iv is with both pride and regret that we look back 11, upon our past school year; pride for the unstained record, and regret that we can never again travel the -well-beaten path over which destiny has brought us thus far.

In our Chapel on September 15, 1903, we found assembled an unusually goodly number of ambitious youths, among which the new faces were especially numerous. Not only among the students did we see -strange countenances,but we also found that our esteemed faculty had changed to some extent. Men may come and men may go but, as everyone should know,Williston .goes on forever. So the new Professors and the new .students had but to fall into line, and the smoothness and regularity of the past year has been due in a large measure to their steady work. We have said strange laces; let not that word be misconstrued. Strange for a day or two, no longer; for here at Williston we have no strangers when once well started.

Thus with prospects so unusually bright, began our school year. At once the regular routine which cliarac-

terizes our school was established and at once the busy hum of student life commenced. Thus the weeks and months slip by never growing monotonous but ever growing shorter.

Like the ancient Greek our motto has been "Sound body, sound mind," and while getting into trim mentally our attentions toward athletics were by no means neglected. The large numbers of men out for the various teams will alone show the interest taken by the students in our ability to hold our own, whether it be football, basketball, track, or baseball. Should anyone doubt this ability or question whether or not we are worthy opponents, let him refer to the portion of this book devoted to Athletics, and banish the doubt from his mind.

So much for Athletics. The year has not been lacking in social events. The receptions at the Williston Homestead and Payson Hall have aided much in creating the fraternal good fellowship of our school. But the crowning glory in the social line was the Senior Promenade,an affair carried off so successfully as to make many a Senior's heart swell with pride and class spirit.

In regarding the work of the school year, the enterprise and industry of the two debating societies—Gamma Sigma and Adelphi—cannot be overlooked. Aside from the weekly meetings each society has held public debates in the Seminary Chapel and last but not least the Joint Debate was held—the old story—the Classics versus the Sciences. This also was as befitted a year like the past. Both societies are turning out some good debaters, who have a debating career ahead.

While among the students we have been 130 remarkably successful in everything, the Faculty on the other hand have been equally unfortunate, owing to the illness of four of their number. This alone remains as a blot on the picture of our school year. During the fall term our Principal had thrown his whole soul into the work of moulding the school into better shape, until not thinking of himself or his health, he was obliged to give up. A four months trip to Europe however, restored him to us in his usual health. But meanwhile Fate seemed intent on wrecking our noble Faculty. Prof. Calland was the next unfortunate. But as he was proof against any illness of length, she had to try someone else. This time Prof. Leach was the victim. Continuous work in the chemical laboratory had affected his throat. He too was induced to take a rest. His trip to the Bermudas resulted 64

that he was rested but not cured. He took up the work again and is bravely fighting it out. May we trust that be will win. Fate next selected Prof. Bruce of the Modern Language Department. For several days Ile was seriously ill, and is at the present time recovering slowly. We hope that the warm spring days and the Williston spirit will bring him around all right. We also hope and expect that Misfortune will hereafter keep her meddlesome fingers somewhere else.

So the months glide by until ere we are aware of it June has come with Commencement, which must be left for some other hand to record.

Indeed, to present a complete picture of the course of a year at Williston would be an almost hopeless task. But if one would see where it is that the foundations of a good character are formed, where it is that a young man may develop all the goodness in his soul, and where the Halls and Campus continually ring with the "hail fellow, well met." Let him come to Williston and bear the chorus:

God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston forevermore; In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

WILLISTON HYMN.

ar

IRVING BRUCE, Class of 1878.

[Air Austria.]

GOD preserve our Alma Mater. Williston, forevermore;

In the sunshine of Thy favor

Guard her, keep her, we implore.

Crown her still with strength and honor; By Thy grace renew her youth;

In the light that never faileth

Lead her on from truth to truth.

Here today upon her altars

May her foster children ever Loyal service yield to Thee.

Minding still her ancient watchword, CHRIST° ET ECCLESIAE.

That, where'er our warfare lead us, Though the battle bear us down,

And we win no wreath of laurel, Hers may be the victor's crown.

We present our sacrifice; Though tomorrow widely sundered, Still may this our prayer arise.

God preserve our Alma Mater, Williston, for evermore;

In the sunshine of Thy favor, Guard her, keep her, we implore.

R. SAWYER, in view of the many years of faithful service which he had given to Williston, was induced, after an urgent request by the trustees of the Academy, and also his friends, to take a respite from his labors and to spend the winter months in the semi-tropical climes of Southern Europe. No one has deserved a period of rest and recuperation more truly than has Dr. Sawyer.

Leaving Easthampton on January 5, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer sailed from New York on the Hohenzollern upon the same day, having as their destination, Naples. The steamer followed what is known as the southern route, and the voyage was remarkably smooth and comfortable for that season of the year. The passage was devoid of any special incidents, except that the ship not only made her record trip but also the record trip between the harbors of New York and Naples. This record was a month later surpassed by the Dentchland of the Hamburg-American line. Among the places of interest passed during the voyage the

two most notable were the Island of Flores, the most north-western of the Azores, and the renowned Rock of Gibraltar. Naples was reached on Saturday afternoon, January 16, and here Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer disembarked.

The places of interest found most interesting here were the Zoological Station with the Aquarium; the Naples Museum; the Royal Palace at Capodimento, and the numerous shops where the specialties of Naples— articles made of coral and tortoise-shell — are offered for sale. During the three weeks which were spent at Naples, excursions were made to the ruins of Pompeii,the more ancient Greek city of Pabstrum, the Island of Capri, the temples erected by Tiberius, and various more modern towns on the shores of the beautiful bay. Vesuvius was not ascended because its summit was covered with snow during most of their stay at Naples, and those who braved the unfavorable conditions and made the ascent said that the results at the top hardly paid for the exertion

required; but the volcano with its smoking crater is in full view from Naples and is always associated with it.

The next place visited was Rome, which was reached on February 1. Rooms were secured in the new quarter of the city, Or what is known as the Lu do visi, on the Sincian hill. Rome is a city of surpassing interest, and no place on the globe can exceed it in this, because for many centuries before the birth of Christ it ranked among the important cities of the world, and even iluring the Christian era it has held this rank. If one should name all the places of interest, be would find it a very long list, representing the labor and life of the people of pagan Rome,going back to the days of the republic and even to the days of the kingdom that preceded it. The ruins of the empire being structures more recently built than those named are more prominently in view, and the traveler therefore goes often to the Roman Forum, and the Fora of the emperors, and visits ruins of buildings still existing on the ancient hills. Next in interest to these are churches built in the Middle Ages or remodelled from pagan temples like the Pantheon. Two churches among these stand out with special distinctiveness—St. Peter in Vaticano and St. John in Laterano. The arts collected at Rome are unequalled in the

department of sculpture, and rival all other collections in paintings and mosaics. The ruins of Ostia

— the seaport of ancient Rome — were visited, and Dr. Sawyer had the special privilege of meeting the Pope; but although the Quirinal was visited as often as St. Peter's the King was not met or seen.

Rome and its endless attractions were exchanged for Florence, which is a mediceval city, and no pagan remains are to be found there. The chief interest here is found in the architecture of the churches and palaces, the wonderful display of paintings in the galleries, the tombs and monuments of those who have here lived.

Bologna was the next stopping point, and was visited for only one day, in which time the University was inspected where Galvani taught and made his first experiments in the electricity which bears his name, also numerous art galleries.

The next objective point was Venice. This is a very unique city, boats taking the place of carriages, and here again all interest is centered in churches and palaces. Venice has a very interesting history, all of which centers around the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Cathedral.

The trip was then continued to Milan, one of the most modern cities of all Italy, and likewise a manu-

facturing mecca. Some Italian cities are dependent for their support upon income received from tourists.

To a large extent this is true of Venice, and to a considerable extent of Florence, but it is not true in any sense of Milan. Here special attention was given to the Cathedral, which has been called the eighth wonder of the world.

Genoa, a prosperous commercial city, with large shipping interests and many families of wealth, marked the end of the journey, and on April 21 the Princeas Irene cleared her moorings and the homeward voyage had begun. Naples was touched on the 22nd, Gibraltar on the 25th, the Azores on the 28th, and the Statue of Liberty, in New York harbor, delighted the eyes of our Principal on the 4th of May.

One event on the return trip is especially interesting. On Sunday morning, May 1, the Prince88 Irene rescued a crew from a disabled schooner that had been wrecked by a hurricane and was in a sinking condition.

Dr. Sawyer,in speaking of his trip, said that nothing impressed him more than the enthusiastic loyalty of the Italians to their present form of government and

their present rulers. Italy, so long divided into jealous and often warlike provinces, is at last united under the House of Savoy. Public schools are being introduced, and even the army is utilized to teach men to read and write and thus reduce the percentage of illiteracy. Many miles of steam railway have been constructed; now electric roads have sprung into existence everywhere. Equestrian monuments to Victor Emanuel, the Liberator of Italy, are to be seen in every town.

The above observations are especially pleasing to those of us who have had our idea of Italy formed from newspaper articles, which picture it as a forlorn, poor and rebellious country. Although we may never expect again to see "all the world Rome," as Mommsen puts it, still we are glad to know that it is a prosperous, progressive and peaceful people.

The morning after his arrival in Easthampton, Dr Sawyer occupied his accustomed seat in chapel and spoke somewhat at length upon his trip, much to the edification of those who were fortunate enough to be present.

THE SENIOR PROMENADE.

0 4E?

0.11E social event of each year at Williston is the Senior Promenade. This occasion is always looked forward to with anticipation of very great pleasure, not only by the Senior Class, but also by the entire school. Much credit is due the present Senior Class for the outcome of this year's Promenade, which was held February 19. It was a triumphant success beyond all expectations and it surpassed all previous events of its kind. Such a thoroughly enjoyable occasion was this that it will ever be looked back upon with pride and pleasure, and it will go down in 'Williston's history as the pleasantest and most successful one ever held.

The hall was very prettily decorated with pink and white bunting, college flags and class banners. From the center was hung festoons to different points of the walls which presented a very pleasing appearance. The booths occupied each corner with two under the gallery and one on each side. The tasty arrangement and trimming of these secluded bowers added greatly to the beauty of the decorations.

The guests introduced by the different members of the committee were received by the patronesses, Mrs. C. A. Buffum, Mrs. Irving Bruce, Mrs. F. A. Leach, Mrs. A. J. Clough and Mrs. Rollo, after which the grand march began led by Charles J. McGraw,chairman of the committee, and Miss Ethel L. Friel of Easthampton. Miss Friel was charmingly gowned in mousseline de soie over blue silk. Following them were the other members of the committee with their partners: Mr. Charles H. Haentjens and Miss Converse of Mt. IIolyoke College, Mr. James M. Noble and Miss Carr of Westfield, Mr. Stanley C. Cox and Miss Moore of Smith College and Mr. Robert J. Vaughn and Miss Warner of Northampton. Then came the other members of the Senior Class with their partners, after whom were the members of the lower classes and the invited guests. The march was without a doubt the prettiest ever seen here, and when the dancing began the hall presented every appearance of a gay party of state at Washington. The first half of the programme was completed at 12.30 when the

entire company adjourned to the banquet ball where a delightful lunch was served; then the dancing was continued until 3.30. Twenty-eight numbers were danced, every one of which was repeatedly encored. The excellent music and the perfect condition of the dancing surface added greatly to the evening's enjoyment.

The committee deserves the heartiest congratulations of all for their earnest endeavors, for their many courtesies to all the guests and for the ultimate success due only to their untiring efforts. Many thanks are due Prof. Buffum for his generous assistance which was thoroughly appreciated and which never will be forgotten.

The first Senior Promenade was held five years ago and they have been held every year since. In this respect Williston shows herself to be superior to most schools of her kind, and we earnestly hope that these

affairs will continue. The social side of one's school career is just as essential as the athletic or the scholarship side.

ANNUAL CONCERT.

0 4iti"

The Williston Quintette,composed of Messrs. llaentjens, Barrett, Clark, Jones and Guy, gave the next selection and were well appreciated by the audience as only an encore would suffice.

The next number,"Won't you be my—Irm," was given in an excellent manner by the Williston Quartette which was composed of Messrs. MacRoberts, Lane, Barrett and Ryan.

Williston Seminary has not had a Mandolin Club for many years,butat this time the audience was favored by listening to a well organized club under the able leadership of Mr. Greene, which rendered a medley with remarkable skill and harmony.

The annual concert of the Williston Musical Association was given March 11 in the Town Hall before a fair sized audience.

The first number entitled "The Man Behind the Gan" was rendered in an excellent manner by the Glee Club and heartily encored. 72

Mr. W. G. Ryan now favored the audience with a bass solo in a very excellent manner and showed much ability as a soloist.

Much credit must be given to Mr. C. J. McGraw for the pleasing manner in which he rendered two readings.

Mr. McGraw's readings were well suited for such an occasion and he received a most hearty applause.

The whistling selection which followed was a novelty and was one of the features of the evening. Mr. Dawson imitated the mocking bird with wonderful perfection and was heartily encored. This completed the first half of the program.

Part II was opened with a Stein Song by the Glee Club. The audience clearly showed their appreciation for the excellent manner and melody in which the twenty-two men sang by giving a spirited applause for an encore.

Messrs. Haentjens and Barrett then rendered a violin duet in a very skillful manner, revealing to their hearers that both were men of great ability and artists in the profession.

The Quartette next appeared and rendered another fine selection which was followed by the Mandolin Club.

Mr. Barrett then appeared and rendered a violin solo in the manner of a soloist of the first order. A very fitting applause for an encore was given by the audience, which clearly told their appreciation of the excellent manner and delicate touch of the performer.

A very taking selection by Messrs. James, Calland, Paull and Watson followed and was one of the features of the evening. There were two mandolins, a guitar and a harmonica, and the pleasing and catchy pieces which they played called for a second appearance.

The last number on the program was the "Alma Mater" by the Glee and Mandolin Clubs and the Williston Quintette combined, and proved to be the crowning feature of the evening.

The concert closed at ten minutes past ten and after the removal of the settees dancing was enjoyed until twelve o'clock.

Much praise should be tendered to Mr. E. B. Lane, the leader of the Glee Club, and Mr. E. R. Greene, the leader of the Mandolin Club, for their hard and faithful services rendered, which made the concert one of the best ever given by Williston men.

Too much credit cannot be given Mr. J. P. Ryan, for under his able management the concert proved to be a financial success.

LECTUIZE COUIZSE, 1904.

NOR several years a Course of Lectures has been arranged for each Winter Term. The students this year had the privilege of enjoying four excellent lectures, given by noted men, on topics of interest to all.

The first lecture was delivered in the Seminary chapel on Wednesday evening, January 20. The speaker was Robert Porter Keep, Ph. D., of Farmington, Conn. His topic was "Gladstone."

Prof. Keep gave a very interesting and instructive lecture on the life of England's great and good statesman, bringing out many incidents of interest from Gladstone's diary. He also gave a history of Gladstone's early life, of his college and his public life, pointing out wherein lay the true greatness of the man who was England's guide and leader for so many years.

His pleasing manner of delivery and his fine choice of words made a choice lecture all the more enhancing.

The second lecture of the course was given on February 3, by John Walter Crook, Ph. D., of Amherst. His subject was "Trusts, and the Public Welfare."

Prof. Crook is the teacher of Economics in Amherst College, and is thoroughly posted upon the subject with which he dealt.

Prof. Crook began his lecture by explaining the term "Trusts." He then pointed out some of the evils of the trusts, and the methods of dealing with them.

He discussed four ways of handling the trusts: First, to destroy them entirely; second, to let them remain as they are; third, to curtail their power by removing the tariff; fourth, to control them by state or national laws. He then showed where each of these methods is at fault, and gave as his opinion that trusts will be of benefit to the people only when men of moral courage and integrity are at the head of the great corporations.

The third lecture of the course was an especially interesting one. It was delivered by Prof. Horatio M. Reynolds, of the Yale Greek department, in the Seminary chapel, on Wednesday evening, February 17.

Prof. Reynolds has traveled extensively in the East, especially in Greece, where he has been made the Secretary of the American School at Athens.

His subject was "Modern Greece," and being handled by such a master in the subject, assisted by a large number of stereopticon slides which brought the places of which he talked directly before the audience, the lecture was one thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

Not only his thorough knowledge of the subject, but also his pleasing manner of address and the bits of humor which he wove into his remarks, made the evening a very pleasant and instructive one.

The final lecture of the course was delivered in the chapel on March 2, by Rev. Samuel Henry Lee, on the subject, "Williston, Fifty Years Ago."

Mr. Lee is now president of the French-American College at Springfield. He was a member of the

class of 1854, and was also a teacher at Williston for some time.

Mr. Lee talked on the subjects which occupied the thought and debate of students half a century ago, at which time Williston was co-educational. Mr. Lee showed that student life then was practically the same as now, an intermingling of work, play, debates, and social intercourse.

It was while he was in school here that the slavery question was being seriously discussed, and he mentioned several incidents in which the boys of the school were divided in their opinions as regarded the slavery question.

He also referred to several Williston men on both sides who distinguished themselves during our Civil War.

The lecture was enjoyed greatly by all present, and was a fitting close for such an excellent course of lectures—a course which delighted and instructed all who attended, not only students, but also townspeople who take interest in Williston's Winter Course of Lectures.

Y. M. C. A.

THEYoung Men's Christian Association was organized in 1880,for the purpose of promoting growth in grace and Christian fellowship among its members, and aggressive Christian work, especially by and for students. Since that time its fortunes and success have been varied. But the work of the organization during the past year is most gratifying. Under the leadership of faithful and capable officers it has forged ahead until it stands today a strong and helpful association. Weekly meetings have been held on Sunday afternoons and have been addressed by local members and by speakers from abroad. These meetings have been well attended and their influence upon the student-body has been very noticeable. But the most commendable work done by the Association this year has been the re-establishing of a Bible class. This class has been held every Wednesday evening for the purpose of diffusing a wider knowledge of the Bible throughout the school. A great interest has likewise been manifested in this branch of the society's work.

One of the social features of the year is the annual reception given at the opening of the school year by the 78

Association. Here the new and old men are offered the opportunity to acquaint themselves with one another and with the faculty and are made to feel at once that at Williston all belong to one family. With the past year's work before it, and plans for next year already under way the future of the Y. M. C. A. is assured.

A.OEL,PI-II LITERARY SOCIETY

ADELPHI.

HE Adelphi Society entered upon the current year's work with renewed life and vigor which the Semi-Centennial, held on June 17, 1903, had infused into it. This gathering was the most successful of its kind ever held at Williston. It certainly was the most memorable event that has occurred in the history of Adelphi,for there were present men who had been instrumental in its organization; men who had lent their efforts to make it the flourishing society that it is to-day. In "Old Payson Church" these men narrated its early struggles and triumphs, and impressed upon the assembled gathering the spirit that has animated Adelphians of the past. They told how they loved Adeiphi, what they had received from it; that they owed their success in life to the training acquired within its walls. This spirit took bold of the society, gave it enthusiasm for its work, as is evinced by the spirited and fruitful efforts of the society during the past year. Never has the roll of

members been larger, and above all, never has there been more interest manifested in its labors. Every meeting has witnessed a well-prepared and lively debate before an interested and appreciative audience.

The fruits of these efforts are portrayed in the success of the society in the last two Joint Debates, held June 5, 1903, and March 15, 1904, respectively, where its debating teams triumphed over its rival, Gamma Sigma.

The event of interest after the Joint Debate is the banquet given by the association to the seniors who are upon its roll. The custom of holding this banquet is sacred to Adelphi, and shows that a genuine brotherly spirit pervades its members.

As Adelphi has always stood in the front rank of the school and college debating societies of the land, we can safely believe that she will fulfill her mission and continue to be an influential factor in the education of Williston students.

.12

XIIE history of Gamma Sigma dates back to year 1870. This class being an exceptionally large one enabled them to fit up a room for the arguments of the Latin Scientific and Scientific men of the school. The first three years of Gamma Sigma was a strictly secretive organization. In 1874 the members took a firm stand to open their debates to the school and thus establish public debates. In 1880 the members desiring to refurnish their room, wrote personal letters to their alumni and received a most generous response,amounting to eight hundred dollars. The society published what was called the "Campus and Field," with a good deal of success. At the present time the two societies have what is called "The Oracle," Adelphi's organ and "The Mirror," possessed by Gamma Sigma. These articles are read each week and create a good deal of humor. The keen rivalry of the two societies is one of the features of the life of the Williston student. The benefits of the society for the scientific side of 88

the school are inestimable. The past year has been one of the most successful in the history of the society; every Friday evening the rooms are crowded with enthusiastic students ready to uphold their side of the question to be debated.

SUMMARY OF JOINT DEBATES

13ETWEEN G.ANEVIA. SIGMA AND A.DELF'I-II.

AMONG the student organizations of Williston Seminary the Adelphi and Gamma Sigma Debating societies hold prominent places. These societies represent the two sides of the School—Adelphi, the Classical, and Gamma Sigma, the Scientific. After the Scientific men had separated from the Adelphi and had established a strong organization, th3 idea of a Joint Debate occurred to those interested. The latter part of the Winter term, before the Spring athletic practice begun, was chosen as a fitting time for this Debate. Accordingly,in 1890, a suitable question was selected, and each society appointed three men to represent it in the contest, which was held in the Seminary Chapel. A spirited battle of words was the result, and when all was over the younger Gamma Sigma had vanquished its older rival, thus winning the first advantage. Much interest was taken in this friendly trial of strength, and it was repeated from

year to year until the "Annual Joint Debate" is looked forward to as a big event in the Williston calendar.

After the first defeat Adelphi won five consecutive victories; but in 1896, O'Herron, Stevens and Day convinced the judges that women should not votes and broke the chain of triumphs of the Classical men. Then a great impetus was given to debating by the F. C. Society, which set a very commendable and praiseworthy example by offering, as a prize and a stimulus to debaters, a handsome silver cup. This

cup was to be the property for one year of the society whose team came out ahead, and was to become the permanent property of the organization which first won it five times. In 1897 and 1898 it graced the hall of Gamma Sigma. Again in 1899 it was captured by Adelphi. In 1900 it returned to the Scientific side for two more years, but in 1902-3-4 it

was the cherished prize of the Classical men. Each society now has four victories to its credit. Next year will decide where the trophy shall rest.

In addition to this cup, the Williston Club of Amherst College has offered during the last year a fine sterling silver cup, which is to be awarded each year to the man who delivers the best individual debate. The winner's name is engraved, and the cup remains in the society of which he is a member till the next Joint Debate. Mr. Charles N. Harmon had the honor of being the first to win this distinction.

The records of those who have participated in the yearly contests are bright, and many have gained valuable training which they are now using to advantage. The outlook for debating is good, and all loyal Williston men desire that the annual Joint Debate may grow in interest and success as the years roll on.

THE ADEL,PHI DEBATING TEAM OF '04

THE WILLISTONIAN.

VERY early in the history of Williston there was published by Gamma Sigma, one of the two debating societies in school, a paper, to defray the expenses of furnishing its rooms. This paper was called "Campus and Hall" and appeared irregularly two or three times a year until the rooms were furnished, then dropped out of existence.

Soon after in 1880 Adelphi, the other debating society, took it upon themselves to bring out a paper. They were more ambitious than Gamma Sigma, publishing their paper every week.

The history of the paper from that time on has really been a triumph for it has come to have a place in our life as well as the morning exercise or the ringing of the study bell in the evening.

The WILLISTONIAN serves a three-fold purpose. It advertises the school by bringing it continually before the eyes of a great number of widely-separated people. 91

It relates to the student body the happenings of the week that in no other way could he have found out; and lastly it gives to the men directly concerned with its publication, that which no other organization in school can give, a practical business education. This phase of the paper cannot be emphasized too much; for it is an immense piece of work to successfully edit and manage a weekly paper and the degree of good or bad in,it is directly proportioned to the amount of work put into it by its publishers. And we have always had an excellent paper at Williston. In fact it compares favorably with such weeklies as"The Brown Herald" and "The Princetonian." So we have something not only to be thankful for but to be proud of.

It may be well to say something of the manner of publishing the paper. At present the paper is edited and managed by men chosen by a competitive examination from the entire student body instead of the members

of Adeiphi. Students hand in original compositions and in this way are chosen for a term editorship which places them on the board and in line for promotion according to their worth. In this way men who are both willing and able are obtained.

During the last year, 1903-4, a new column has been added to the WILL1STONIAN called the "Willistonia." This column contains all the "breaks" made in class room or campus and whatever light "knocks" may present themselves to the writer. This has added a much needed spice to the paper. The WILLISTONIAN has a sinking fund large enough to tide it over any financial crisis that may come. At the end of the Wil-

listonian year all money over this fund is divided proportionately among the members of the board. Of late years there has been a goodly sum to be thus divided. This not only acts as an incentive for harder work but in part compensates the men for their labor.

In closing we can say that we should indeed be thankful for having such a readable and well-managed paper and that it deserves the hearty cooperation it receives from the student body and the faculty, the latter keeping an ever watchful eye over all,admonishing sometimes it is true but always advising for the best interests of the school.

AMHERST-WILLISTON CLU13.

ACCORDING to the Olio which designates the class of '92, the Amherst-Williston Club was established in 1889. Previous to this time we have no official records and must therefore have explicit faith in the aforesaid authority. We have no written history of the transactions of the Club since it made its initial bow, and are compelled to go back, tracing with the aid of the imagination, almost all the steps of progress that have been made in each succeeding year.

That the interest has ever been an increasing one, we have every reason to believe. If we can judge quality from quantity we find as the years go by a steady growth numerically and qualitatively, with probably one or two exceptions. In the year '97 the Club was possessed of gigantic strength. No less than thirtyfive men were enrolled as members. There never has been as large a number before or after this time. We have surpassed all other clubs of a like nature in point of numbers and at present easily lead the van.

It would not be amiss to say that the AmherstWilliston Club, from its very inception, has exerted a unique influence in every department of College life and has been a potent factor for good in spurring on its sister clubs to larger and nobler activities.

The Amherst-Williston Club was organized with a purpose, and that purpose was, to foster a brotherly feeling among the Amherst-Williston men and to fan a warmer flame into the fires of love already kindled within our hearts towards our Alma Maters, Amherst and Williston. That this purpose has been and is being accomplished, can well be adjudged from the existing relations between the men individually and their respective Alma Maters. No Club of a similar nature enjoys the same peculiar privileges as does the AmherstWilliston Club. We receive the kindly offices of several members of the faculty who have the good fortune of being Amherst-Williston men and who have the welfare of the Club at heart. Our beloved Dr. Hitchcock has

ever stood for the best interests ot the Club, and has always been willing to lend a helping hand in the time of need.

Never perhaps, in all its history, has the interest among the members been so intense as during the past two or three years. Every man seemed to have the conscious feeling that he must serve his Alma Mater not only by word but by deed also; and last year it was unanimously agreed to give medals, to be awarded to the men who were the victors, first and second,in the inter-class track competition. (It is needless to say that our gifts were heartily received by our Alma Mater). This year a renewed interest pervaded our Club, and no little praise is due to Mr. Corsa, who stepped into our ranks for the first time since his graduation in '99, and at whose home all the meetings have been held this year. Being instructor in public speaking, that branch of College work has special interest for him. Meeting after meeting he has brought it home to all of us the urgent necessity of a thorough and systematic training in this department. Realizing our own needs and inefficiency along this line and the benefit which it might be to our Old Alma Mater," we acted unanimously on Mr. Corsa's suggestion, that the best thing we could do for Williston this year would be to present a cup to be competed for in the annual joint-debate between the societies

of Adelphi and Gamma Sigma, the winner to retain the cup and the debater putting up the best debate, to have his name inscribed upon it, and this course to be repeated as permanent, until the cup can hold no more names; when probably the same course will be pursued and a new cup offered. We are glad to note that this action was heartily approved of by Dr. Sawyer, Profs. Buffum and Morse and had the glad acclamation of all the members of the school.

It gives us great pleasure,one and all, to congratulate Charles N. Harmon as having the first honor to have his name inscribed upon the cup presented by the AmherstWilliston Club, and we all sincerely hope that this will only prove to be an incentive to himself and to all the other members of the respective societies, to do more for themselves and for their Alma Mater along the lines of public speaking and syllogistic debate.

In conclusion, we rejoice in the pleasant relations existing between Amherst and Williston, as witnessed by the recent Football, Basketball and Baseball games, and sincerely hope that such good feelings will continue to prevail. We can only rely upon the glory of past achievements to add new lustre to our names. Aided by such associations we can hope to make the work of Amherst and Williston synonymous with whatever is noblest in lofty aspiration and most efficient in earnest endeavor.

YALE-WILLISTON CLUB.

0

THE Williston Club here has passed through so many vicissitudes that no coherent account of its development can be written. Many important records have been lost. Much that would have been of interest to us has never been recorded. We do know that the club was in existence by the middle of the last century, and took an influential place in Yale life. Between fifty and thirty years ago, Williston men held the center of the college stage. Her sons were in every organization—athletic, debating, social. They controlled the Senior Society elections, took the highest prizes in scholarship, and helped to push the name of Williston with that of Yale high up in the estimation of the college world as far as its influence was felt throughout our country and abroad.

As the influence that founded Williston gave place to the less interested power of succeeding governing bodies, and as the native spirit of democracy at Yale began to be tinged with the liberalism growing out of our country's commercial dominance, other schools,

not so reluctant to imitate the new tendency in college life, began to forge into a more prominent position here, and have since assumed the ostensible lead. But to the observant, Williston seems very strong at Yale now. On the Yale faculty are more than half as many Williston men as are at present on the Williston faculty. In whatever department of the University Williston men matriculate, invariably a larger proportion of them than of men from other "big" schools take first honors in scholarship. They have before them the names of Tracy Peck, of Bailey, Seaver, Hawkes and Gale. Menge, who was graduated Williston '99, is already an efficient instructor in ‘i Sheff." with the brightest prospect of advancement.

It follows, from what was said above concerning the School's general prominence here, that Williston athletes have been scarce on Yale teams lately, since no one nowadays gives a school such prestige in his generation as an athletic champion. But the names of Clapp and Keator, of Hinkey, Wescott and Leary

—all of 'whose pictures still hang in old Middle hail —are undimmed by the rise of any recent stars.

Athletics and scholarship are not all. Recently a Williston man revived dramatics at Yale, and we are at present represented in the four-year-old association which he formed under the difficulty and obscurity of an apathetic faculty and student body, but which he now sees a popular student organization, growing in importance. Few schools have the honor, moreover, of sending to Yale a man who in less than two years takes the highest class prize in mathematics, wins his place on a college musical club, and heads the competition for chairman of the "Lit." So much to show Williston's place in Yale and to suggest what our club's past may have been.

Now the present purpose of the Williston Club is to keep in touch with all developments such as these, of Williston life at Yale; to maintain that communication between the men here and the men there which will best serve to inspire the present members of our old School with the ambition to equal and excel the achievements of their older Almi fratres; and,finally, to foster the sympathy of purpose and desire that once made the path from Williston to Yale so straight

and clear, and with this sympathy—like a new broom on a dusty walk—to sweep away any accumulation of indifference and forgetfulness. Beyond the pleasure, beyond the privilege of following the footsteps of our illustrious predecessors, looms the duty to our native ideal of progress, calling on us not merely to equal but to surpass what has been done.

WILLISTON-WILLIAMS CLUB.

ACP 0

ZHERE is a similarity between Williams College and Williston Seminary that gives them a certain relationship. Although they were founded about a century apart yet their founders had much in common; both were men of great influence in their respective communities, both determined on establishing an institution of learning as the best thing they could do for their country, both left their names to be borne in honor by the Schooland the College. Ephraim Williams would have a "Free School," Samuel NVilliston would have an advanced seminary; the plans of each have been changed, but today Williams College and Williston Seminary represent essentially the same object. The College offers opportunities for advanced education, the Seminary opportunities for a collegiate preparation. It is the most natural thing then, that the graduates of the School have always been found in the College. The numbers have not always been large but there are few Williams classes which do not number one or more Williston men among their number.

The relations of the two institutions are today the most pleasant. The Williston Club watches with great interest the work of the School in all its branches. We follow the athletic events carefully and are always

100

pleased to see a Williston team in Williamstown. There has been a feeling among us this past year that a certain branch of the school activity could be improved, and we trust that the new Editorial Board of the WILLISTONIAN will conduct a paper of more interest to the alumni of the School. The members of the Williston Club are engaged in various activities of the College. Wood, 1900, graduates this year with a high rank in scholarship; Howe, 1901, is assistant baseball manager; Hobson, 1902, is assistant basketball manager; Neild, 1902,is a member of the varsity basketball and baseball teams; Wilcox, ex-1903, is chairman of the Promenade Committee for the Sophomore class; Moffett, 1903, played on his class football team; and Domett, 1903, is a member of his class baseball team.

The aim of the Club is not only to keep alive the memories and friendships of former days but also to be of assistance to any Williston men who are thinking of Williams. We would be pleased to furnish information in regard to the Berkshire College.

CLASS OF 1905.

AV 0

ONTRARY to the usual custom, the editors of THE LOG decided to have the Middle Class editorial written from a Middler's standpoint; so instead of the customary portrayal of the defects, we will try to present the brilliant side of '05 life.

The class organized in September, 1901, and at once started on a strenuous career. A class football team was organized, but the manager was tunable to arrange any class games. "Shorty" Moore was elected captain of the "Gym" team, which at the indoor meet won most everything in sight. This elated them so much that they had to celebrate, which they did to the tune of *8.00 worth of windows.

Among the athletes of the class are Dawson, who has efficiently represented the School on two teams and also made quite a reputation as a "convivial" singer. "Chick" Raymond, from Brockton, "made good" behind the bat and is captain of next year's basket-ball team. "Wild Bill" Paine, whose chief ambition is to be a real rough cow-boy, has been

the mainstay of the pitcher's box. Foster, familiarly known as "Moxie," has told some remarkable stories of his adventures, and after spending the summer at St. Louis will probably have some bigger ones next year. The capabilities of "Spider" Colvin and "Kid" Hitchcock as boxers never would have been known but for the persistent efforts of "Patsey" Flynn to bring them together.

"Lady" Fiske, a rather frolicsome young man with a winsome smile, is the recognized sport of the class. For good, fatherly advice, the class naturally turns to Jefferson, which, if always heeded, would necessitate "Pete" King's going out of business. The Whiting "twins," by their numerous antics on the campus, have amused their classmates immensely. Vermont Acad. is well represented in this class, having three members, Durgin, Hills and Willard, who left the cold, inhospitable regions of Vermont to complete their education in a more congenial climate.

If the record of '05 which has just been completed, can be taken as a criterion, Williston need have no fear for the next year's senior class.

OF 1905.

Undaunted we, of all in life, A happy, useless band;

To think of naught but sport and strife, And cry it through the land In tones of joy, but to destroy All thoughts of rest.

A merry band, indeed are we, But upstarts from the core.

'Tis not long since we were Peewee, Now Peewee we no more.

And so rejoice as though with choice We changed our form.

But still, dear friends, do not deprive Us of those joys, which you,

As sure as you were then alive, Enjoyed while going through.

So only smile, and say the while.

Of such is life.

ITH a large number of men on its register, and an abundance of Williston spirit, the class of 1906 has made itself a prominent part of the school life during the past year. It has maintained the same aggressive and active traits which marked its entrance into the school. ,

The class is so full of celebrities in every branch of "sem" activities that it would be almost impossible to pick out the most prominent members. Still, mention must be made of"Charlie" Gran, the tallest, leanest,

lankest man in Hampshire County, and "Doc" Wilson who is an excellent trained (?) nurse, while McColley, the "Delaware peach," must not be overlooked. In football we were well represented by "Jack" Kennedy and "Cy" Perkins. 44 Home Run,""Three Base-hit" and "Two Base-hit" Porter and Kieber, the "boy wonder" on the slab, speak for themselves. On the "cinders," Whitehead, the prize-cup winner and user of Jane's Expectorant, Strayer the pole-vaulter, and Gaines who bids fair to bring many laurels to Williston in the

sprints, are all representatives. We are proud of our own John Harvey Dingle, who can put the basket ball four feet. Those who are not familiar with the acrobatic feats of IIarvey, the Sioux City lad, are few, likewise the rides of Sherwood, Johnson and Reilly on the horse. With such an unusual collection of stars, the Class of 1906 will without doubt be the Class of the school in the future.

OF 1906.

About a year or more ago [grown, There happened, or perchance they might have A fitful swarm of infants, Or as Peewees, better known. They came from whence we know not, But since we have them here, It is our duty, though not Our choice to keep them near.

They're prowl of their position, As graduated bucks; And hope to gain remission, As each, the senior ((lucks?); Of actions once committed In days within recall, And thus become admitted To the roll at its first call.

So care for them gently, boys, Remember intently, boys, They're of a make up

That can't stand a shake up, So remember intently, To care for them gently.

JUNIOR EDITORIAL.

DEER COUSING WILLIE:—

As i have nothing else too do i think i will ansur your leiter that i got from you. You must exkuse me for not ansuring sooner but i have been so bizzy with my studies that i jest couldnt rite. We aint formed our class yet becuse nobody will join unles we make him presedent. i want to be it but their is a feller named Whitman who may beet me. He aint so good as me but I'll git it next time see if I dont. We aint done nothing yet and we aint got no caps either and the Senyers say they will make us get some that have ruber bands that go under the chin too hold them on.

I wont wear that kind but they call us buckweats and make us do lots of things we dont want too. You jest want to come down for commensement and see the rufhouse and hear the duffers speek. Last nite I walked down the street with a nother feller named Keeney and we said Hellow to some girls we didnt know. They said Hellow first. You asked me what I got in speling. 100 but we dont study it no more. Profesor Weaks taught it to us till we learned all their was.

Jest think in three years we will graduait to. Well it is half past nit and time i went to bed.

Ever your cousing

J. UNIOR

Oh, happy days of listless youth!

When studies are a boon to one, And thro' our Peewee course we plod, These flighty days pass soon to one. With studies ever in our mind, We hope to be not far behind, As we admire the old men (kind?).

OF 1907.

Forsooth, if we were all to be Brave seniors from the very start, From whence would come that joy that those Who once had played the Peewees part, But now old men of no mean worth, (At least their bearing claims such birth) They scorn, and deem us of the earth.

But never mind, dear friends so portly, Of stately mein and manners chaste, You once, and well you may recall, Were in our plane, against your taste. So, as that year is nearly up, We must grin, and drink our cup; And soon we will, your goblet sup.

PROF. CALLAND (Chicago), Coach.

InILENschool opened in September the football affairs were rather disorganized owing to the death of our captain, William R. Sackett.

Our coach, Mr. Calland, however, threw himself heartily into his work and soon had the candidates out and hustling for their positions.

Ten old men, regulars and subs were back; Blish,

Clough, Cushing, Dawson, Mills, Ryan, Smith, Scully, Thomas and Tillotson. Of these Ryan and Smith were suffering from injuries received during the summer baseball and did not come out.

The new material was heavy and fast although somewhat inexperienced. The most prominent were Brides, Foster, Crowley, Barrett, Dennie, Whalen and Taylor.

Our first game was with Amherst, which we lost 6-0,on a poor decision of the referee. What the team might have developed into was demonstrated in that game.

Misfortune hung over us, however,for in practice a few weeks later Clough, one of our best men, was injured, having two ribs torn apart. In short order, Dawson, Taylor and Scully, our entire back field, were injured in the same way, a ligament torn from the shoulder. Not only this, but as a climax our crack

fullback Whalen was forced to stay out of the game with water on the knee.

It will be seen that under these conditions it was impossible to develop anything like accurate team work.

Not only did we suffer from physical injuries but the training of the individual members left much to be desired and there was also a lack of harmony among the men that prevented the precision of movement so necessary for a successful team.

The teams played were on the whole,heavier than ours.

Of the nine games played we won four and lost five.

BASKETBALL.

(ONE of the most interesting reviews of the athletic season is that of the Basketball Team. The season of 1003-4 has been a most successful one in more ways than one. The team was managed by Charles J. McGraw in a way that would reap reward for most any man and will entitle him to hold first place among the various managers that have gone before him. The team was captained by Charles G. Miles who played center and showed by his ability of the two years before to be well qualified for the position. These two leaders had the help of abundant material in aiding them to carry on the season. Stanley C. Cox and Harry L. Clough proved to be a tower of strength in the back field and struck terror to opposing forwards in trying to get a shot at the basket. The forwards were Wendell Raymond, who will lead the team in 1905, and John Scully. Although this was their first season in working together they showed wonderful ability in team work and accurate shooting at critical moments. The substitutes were W. J. Parmelee and C. S. Andrews who

played in good form and have a bright future before them as basketball players. The second team was a very strong one and it had a great deal to do with the development of the first team. They played with determination and never gave up until the whistle for time blew. There were few college teams that came to Williston this season but would have had all they wanted to do to defeat our second team.

The players were Robert Vaughn and Nestor Light, forwards; John Dingle, center, and Arthur Ryan and Captain George Smith, backs.

One of the features that prevailed was the good feeling among the players and management throughout the entire season. It is very essential that a team should have this feeling in order to have a successful team.

Among the teams that Williston met and defeated were Syracuse University, Amherst, Holy Cross and Brown University varsity teams as well as the following teams found below: •

SECOND BASKETBALL TEAM

THE WILLISTON "GYM" TEAM

BASEBALL.

HE prospects for a strong base ball team for the spring of 1903 were not very promising at the opening of the school in September, as there was only one man of last year's team back, but it was soon seen at the fall practice there was some excellent material. A great deal of credit is due Coach Clark and Captain Green for the successful season.

Williston only lost three out of fourteen games the whole season. The first one she lost was to Amherst, and then the score was 2-1. Until the ninth inning it was a tie game, but then Amherst scored the winning run. The second defeat was to I3owdoin, and that also was a close game,the score being 7-5. In her last game, which was against Easthampton,Williston was also beaten, but she had defeated them twice earlier in the season. The only way they were able to defeat us was by hiring a professional pitcher from out of town, so Williston did not grieve much over that defeat.

The Williston team was very strong in every way. Coach Clark gave them a great deal of batting practice as well as training in fielding, and batting is an essential part of base ball. The team had a strong pitching staff in Captain Green, Whitney and Soudant, and this was also a great help to the team.

The student body of Williston was very enthusiastic over base ball at all times. Everyday, not only was there a large number of candidates out for the team, but also a great number of students were present to urge and encourage the players on to good work. On account of the large number of candidates for the team, much difficulty arose in choosing the best men. However,every one got a fair show, and there was no dissension at all. The greatest game that was played out of town was with Wesleyan University, and when the news reached Easthampton that night that Williston beatthe collegians 4-3, every Willistonian.rejoiced over the victory.

The students supported the team very well financially too, so that at the end of the season, every man on the team was given his suit, and there was a large surplusin the treasury. It is hoped that the Gold and the Blue will continue to have as good a base ball team in the future as she had last year, and that her reputation will never fall below the standard set forth by the Base Ball Team of 1903.

HERBERT THOMAS, Captain.

MANTON is fast becoming prominent in athletics and her reputation abroad is due in the gi eater part to her splendid showing in .athletic meets, where she is not only holding her own but defeating some of the largest and strongest prep. schools of the country, having a team last Spring which was second to none but Mercersburg's invincible team.

Too much praise cannot be given to the School for

the hearty support which they have given to the track team and thus enabled it to bring Williston to the position that she now holds on the Academic athletic field.

The track men, after having been kept in good condition in the Gym, were called out to train for the Spring contests. Their first opportunity to show their ability was given at the interscholastic meet at New Haven under the auspices of the Yale Athletic Assoeia-

Lion, May 16, 1903. Here, in competition with the leading prep. schools of the country, they easily carried off second place, Mercersburg Academy winning first.

After this encouragement, Manager Smith took his five best men—Johnson, Thomas, Caine, Leitch and Hubbard—to Hanover, N. H., to compete in the Dartmouth interscholastic meet. Here again Williston took second place with but five men, being defeated by Kimble Union Academy, who had twenty-four men in the field.

The final event of the season was the annual interclass meet, held on Sawyer Field, June 17, 1903. This was won by the Class of 1904, and medals of exquisite design were given by G. D. Kennedy and D. Kennedy, alumni of Williston.

Last fall the track team made its first appearance in the interclass meet on Sawyer Field, October 17. This was intended only to draw out the best material in School for the track team and not for a class contest. Soon after this the team was worked in the Gym in light calisthenics, under the eye of the Gym instructor, until the annual Gym meet came. The winning class was 1905.

The following is a summary of the various events in the different meets:

Farewell! to dear '04, the noblest and best of all classes,

Born in the year '00, in the warm summer month of September;

Soon she grew powerful and strong,the victor and Queen of old Williston;

Athletes and scholars and men are thickly enclosed in her shadow.

As when a little seed sown deep in the heart of a mountain,

Grows to a mighty oak with tow'ring and wide-spreading branches,

Shelt'ring beneath it's shade the rulers and chiefs of the forest,

So too with dear '04, sown in the warm month of September,

Grew to a mighty class, and under her wide-spreading shadow,

Shelters the brave and the strong,the rulers and chiefs of dear Williston.
