TN presenting to the Students, Faculty. Alumni and friends of Davidson College
Volume Six of Quips and Cranks, we have no apologies to offer. Perhaps we have not attained the goal'toward which our predecessors have pointed. We can not fail to see how far short oil our own ideal we have fallen, how imperiect is our work as coiiipared with what we had wished it to be. Under adverse circumstances, how- ever, we have. done our best, and in- this we feel that we do honor to our readers, to our Alma Mater, and to Nineteen Hundred and Two.
Some features of the book perhaps should have been omitted; others treated more fully. Faults and all, we offer it, hoping that our efforts will meet with gener- ous sympathy, and at least a modicum of appreciation.
The regular order of the book has been changed only where deemed necessary. The grinds, dealt out by an impartial hand, are in simple •- - ■ i-h take them, and laugh the heartiest when the joke is on yourself.
Finally, we wish to thank all of those friends to whom we have gone for help, and whose kindly suggestions as well as actual work have so materially aided us.

Volume Six of Quips and Cranks, we have no apologies to offer. Perhaps we have not attained the goal toward which our predecessors have pointed.

The Early History o! Davidson College.
THE Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who settled Piedmont Carolina a quarter of a century before the Revolution, brought with them to their new home their love of liberty, of religion, and of learning. The first culminated in the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence ; the second bore fruit in scores of vigorous churches and generations of Godly men and women ; the third led to the establishment of numerous high-grade classical academies, and a half-century later burst into flower in the founding of Davidson College. Their patriotism, religion, and love of learning are blended in every word of the motto on the Col- lege seal, " Alenda lux 7ibi orta Libertas."
In 1760 a classical school was established almost on the present site of David- son College, called Crowfield Academy. It was conducted by some of the most learned and distinguished men of that time ; trained and moulded many of the Revolutionary soldiers, orators, and statesmen, and established a reputation so wide as to draw students from the West Indies. Not many miles away a school chartered under the name of the Queen's Mu.seum began its career in 1770. King George promptly annulled the charter before the institution was a year old, on the ground that it was a hot-bed of Presbyterianism and treason. In 1771 the Colonial l^egislature amended and reenacted the charter, only to have it promptly leannulled by the King. When these irrepressible patriots had shaken off the yoke of the tj'rant and were battling for their independence, their first act was to revive the school and baptize it "Liberty Hall Academy," in 1777.
Davidson College was the direct successor of these famous Revolutionary schools. An attempt to found a " Western College " in the section was made in 1820, but in the endeavor to unite too many discordant interests, the effort suffered shipwreck.
The birth of the College might be dated March 12th, 1835. On that day, at Prospect Church, seven miles from the present site of the College, Dr. Robert Hall Morrison pre.sented to the Presbytery of Concord a resolution to establish a " Manual Labor School." This was adopted, committees appointed, a site selected, and $30,000 in cash raised within five months. In October, Bethel Presbytery in South Carolina joined Concord, and a little later Morganton Pres- bytery in North and Harmony in South Carolina added their strength to the new and popular movement.
During the summer of 1836 the work of building was actively pushed. The Steward's Hall, "Tammany," a portion of Dr. Martin's present residence, and five brick dormitories, of which Elm Row and Oak Row are still standing, were
erected. Later were added the " Old Chapel," the Literary Society Halls, and a large building called " Danville," where Dr. Harding's residence now stands. The College opened on March ist, 1837, with sixty-six student.s, and Dr. Mor- rison as the first President. On August 26th, 1835, it had been named Davidson College in honor of General William David.son, who fell in the battle of Cowan's Ford, a few miles west of the site selected by the committee.
The original plan of the founders was to have the students pay for their board by labor on the College Farm, but the system soon proved a failure and was abandoned after four years of trial. The next financial scheme was far worse than a simple failure, and came near bankrupting the College. In 1852 the trustees offered to the public four hundred scholarships, each good for twenty years of tuition, at $100 apiece. The.se eight thousand years of tuition were sold at $5.00 per year in advance. All receipts for tuition were soon cut off and within a few years the College faced financial ruin.
At this juncture, bj' the will of Maxwell Chambers, Flsq., of Salisbury, the struggling institution fell heir to a quarter of a million dollars. A clause in its charter limiting its property to 5^200,000 reduced the amount received by the Col- lege to that figure. This was a fabulous sum in those days, and new buildings were erected, new professors elected, apparatus and cabinets purchased, and the College launched on its career of ever-widening activity and n.sefulness.

The Lost Issvc.
To those who were acquainted with Long John, it was evident that there was something up. His adamantine disposition seemed to be undergoing a complete change. This process could easily be traced in his bearing toward those with whom he came in contact. For in.stance, it was reported that he lifted his hat to .some Freshies who were making frog-houses in the sand, and gave them some valuable hints on modern architecture.
More than this, it was reported, and that too on pretty good authority, that he entered into a conversation with some of the upper classmen which lasted for five entire minutes. Besides, he had been known to crack several meaningless jokes in the Math. room. But when exams, came on and he didn't throw but a little over five-eighths of the class, the entire student body wilted from sheer astoni.shment.
Mysterious, however, as were his actions towards the student body, they were still more so towards the Faculty. It was known for a fact that he milked Dickie's cows twice. He also agreed to prove some of Henry Louis's .statements, which task required the labor of days and nights and a manipulation of figures quite as shadowy as the statements themselves. Moreover, he helped Bill Joe patch up the Atomic Theory so that it might stand handling for another year without danger of explosion. For one whole day he hauled away sawdust from Wooley's sawmill absolutely free of charge. More than this, he gave Tommie, Jr., a rattle and teething-ring all in one, with " Made in Germany " stamped on it in red letters. Old Puss received the latest edition of " Drummers' Yarns," and Hand,some Jim received three sticks of .striped candy, while the Stoker was made the happy possessor of Long John's treatise on " How to Cut Prayers."
Of course, something waswrong with I^ong John ; but what was it ? Some said that he must be going to die ; others, that he was .seriously contemplating matrimony. But the wisest merely shook their heads and waited for time to tell.
When the curiosity of the gullible Faculty and .students had reached its high- est pitch, it leaked out somehow that Long John was ru.shing the Co-ed. move- ment and that it was his intention to " pull " the Faculty straight and then work the Trustees.
When this simple little plan came to light, people were surpri.sed that Long John hadn't done more wire-pulling.
The matter was laid before the Assembly on the last Tuesday berbre exams. , and none of those who were in the immediate vicinity of that meeting will ever forget it.
Long John was the last one to enter the council hall. Upon his arrival, he found Henry Louis reading " The Uses of Hyperbole" ; Wooley was regaling himself with choice editorials from " The Home and Farm " ; Tommie was read- ing some Fresh, essays on Shakespeare ; Bill Joe was inventing an infernal machine with which to wreck the Sophs, on exams. ; Dickie was tabulating a few more of his favorite Greek verbs ; Puss was contriving a scheme by which he would be able to get even with a villain who had cheated him out of thirty cents in a horse trade ; Handsome Jim was looking cute ; and the Stoker was meditating on the past.
Evidently the au.spices were not favorable to Long John's project. However, after the usual business had been disposed of. Long John arose and said:
" Brethren of the Assembly : I wish to introduce a scheme which if car- ried out. will revolutionize the history of David.son College. Yea, it will make this part of the mundane sphere as pleasant as working quadratics. The old walls of yon College which have heretofore resounded only with the shriek of the fleeing Fresh. , and the hoarse yell of the exulting Soph. , will echo to the siren voices of (mer)maids, and our campus will blossom with Eden's fairest flower. I refer, gentlemen, to the introduction of the Co-ed. system in our institution." When Long John had finished there was a moment of deep and awful silence, broken at length by Wooley's inveterate " Waugh !" Henry Louis thereupon informed Long John that his little gag wouldn't work, and that the campus needn't blo,ssom at all if it didn't wish to, and that (mer)maids were hoaxes, anyway.
Long John swore a great, deep, far-sounding oath, and asked Henry Louis if he meant to snow his project under without its being voted upon. Upon leceiv- ing an answer in the affirmative, he lifted up his voice, and the stillness of that May afternoon was broken by a most unearthly yell, such as mortals but once in a lifetime would hear and live. It was Long John's war-whoop. Half a mile away strong men heard that whoop and trembled, while women fainted. The Fresh, and other rodents fled in terror. The Sophs, took refuge under the Col- lege and in otlier strongholds, while he upper classmen conjectured that it was the fog-horn of the ship that never returned.
Within tlic council hall the confusion was still greater. At the first .sound of that awful voice, Dickie dived under the table, followed by Tommie ; Wooley disappeared in the register; Henry Louis and Bill Joe lan over each other in a mad scramble for the door; Handsome Jim worked his shunt circuit ru.^e and got to his room without the loss of either his good looks or glasses ; the Stoker only possessed presence of mind enough to jump through the window.
Puss, strange to say, instead of running, remained behind to try the effect of moral persuasion on Long John. Failing in this attempt to quiet the promoter of Utopian scliemes, he began to bombard Long John's distorted features with paper-weights, inkstands, and other articles of furniture. This produced the desired result. The disturber of the Assembly's order and dignitj' was made to sign a most ignominious peace bond, after which he retired to his room and com- muned with himself, in wrath meditating revenge. Old Pu.ss, towering over the wreck of the council hall, murmured softh- to himself : " \'eni, vidi, vici."
About two weeks later, there was a meeting of the Assembly about two miles from town, under the starry vaults of heaven. It is needless to say that Long John wasn't invited to this council. The object of this guarded meeting was to devise ways and means by which to pacify Long John. After much subdued argument it was decided " that Long John's salary be increased ninty cents per month, and that he be allowed a monthly bonus of two packs of Duke's Mixture, with paper, and one pack of Wall Wah ' '
This speedily effected the desired reconciliation, and once more the dove of peace spreads her spotless wings over the council hall of the Davidson Faculty.

Poor, foolish, futile plaint ! And yet, how grows About our soul the hour we know must fly. The rare, rare rose that blushes but to die !
The meaning of life's riddle— ah, who knows ?
Be patient, weary brother ; can it be
That, read aright, the answer still is plain ?
Spring hath its flowers ; but are flowers best ? Methinks the fruit of summer richer fee,
Or autumn, with its golden wealth of grain ; And winter, O my brother, bringeth rest.

History o! Class 1902.
AND now we are Seniors ! And in giving the history of 1902 I shall strive to be less bashful concerning our merits than the worthy narrator of 1901 was of theirs. For four years we have taken each year a degree in college life, and now we are supposed to be prepared to have Dr. Smith mention, in a few years, our names among those of the great men who have already departed from Davidson.
Twenty-eight of us came here in the fall of '98 with the intention of " going through College." Many gave different reasons for coming, but with some of us the reason was, we couldn't help it. Having gotten here, however, and hav- ing found that we were not so many, we saw that we must pull together ; so we organized ourselves into a class and named it 1902.
Our first meeting, and especially the aftermath, will hardly ever be forgotten by those of us who were so fortunate as to be there.
To please the curious Sophs. , we selected a nine and in a short while met them on the diamond ; but in this first game we were beaten. The next spring, however, we easily won over them and the other two classes, and so were cham- pions of the class teams.
On the gridiron fate was against us, as our record shows ; and we gave up in the football line. Our only excuse is our scarcity of material from which to select.
Our record in study was not a very uncommon one, as we learned all too soon that ponies were cheap and riding very good ; so good, in fact, that Wooley and Dickie, out of heartfelt kindness, consented to give some of their favored ones second exams, on Latin and Greek.
The next fall, however, we chose some from among us to better our class- room record ; and as we were now Sophs. , our minds were full of the great prob- lem of how we could best introduce the Fresh, into the intricacies of College life, and train them as future Sophs, should be trained.
The Faculty, however, having some very new-fangled and obnoxious ideas as to the rights of Fresh. — who every one knows have no rights — hinted to us that they preferred Fresh, to Sophs. And so seeing that our very best intentions were not appreciated, we gave up our plan, and as a con.sequence received a permit to play with the pigskin to our hearts' content ; but we were never to look at Bill Joe's hen-coop under penalty of a double load of duck-shot.
40
As a parting shot, we lined up against the Fresh, and scoured the gridiron with them to the score of 5 to o.
Our baseball team was fatally weakened after our first year by the loss of our pitcher and first-baseman, and since that time, although we have never been able to take the lead among the class teams, we have by no means brought up the rear.
As Juniors, I suppose we were not very different from the average third year man ; an easy-going crowd, who didn't exceed the limit of time granted for studying.
When called on to speak. '02 was again not in the rear, as was proven on the twenty-second day of February, and also later, when men in this class won both society medals given for the best debate. This was between Juniors and Seniors.
And now in about three months the campus will probably echo for the last time our yell as given by the whole cla.ss, and each of us will set out in life to fulfil his destiny — to lift or lower mankind.
And let each of the fourteen, all tried and found true, forget not the motto which for four years we have claimed : " Per angusta ad augusta."
And now, in behalf of 1902, I bid you all a fond farewell.
41
At Sunset.
We stood together yestei-eve, To watch the Day-King take his leave, As down lie sank beyond our sight.
Then did the skies with beauty burn? And did the clouds to bright gold turn? And did the eve-star, silver-bright.
Call forth the planets, one by one — Attendants on their lord, the sun ? And in that mellow golden light,
Did birds their sweetest vespers sing. As nest-ward on day-weary wing
They flew to rest them for the night ?
I can not tell ; I only know You stood beside me ; and the glow Of evening light upon your hair
To gold was turned ; and in your eyes I saw the love-light shine ; the skies
With those bright stars can not compare.

Class Prophecy, 1902.
0, Muse, to lift aside the future's veil, Many have sought thy prophetic aid ; But to all has never yet been granted The gift for which so many have panted. Secrets which in the future lie deeply hidden. Themselves reveal when only by thee they 're bidden. Since I would then the future read,
1, oh Muse, with thee do plead For thy aid in this prophetic song. I would sing of the Class of 1902 :
Of their deeds in life as they journey through;
Of the blessings which on mankind they will bestow,
While here passing through this world below.
But while 1 have time and space,
Ere that I further in this tale shall pace,
Methinks it best according to reason
To always do everything in season.
I '11 tell you the condition of each of them, as it seems to me.
Of what they will be and of what degree,
And also in what array they will be in.
At a chemist then will 1 first begin.
Bagley is his name, and he a worthy man,
Who from the time he first began
To go to College, loved chemistry.
Leisure, music, freedom and courtesy.
He will bear himself well in every place,
In hope to stand in his lady's grace.
Great discoveries in his profession he will make
And cause the atomic theory a fall to take.
His physical energy he will conserve.
Nor from the path of leisure will he swerve.
When he his work at last shall lay down.
All the chemical world with his praises will resound.
A politician will there be in this same place.
That hath a stern, haughty, deep-set face :
Clkc;<; is his name, by the vulgar called " Pap."
His highest delight is to win in a scrap.
A Senator he '11 be, always in the right.
Will give his opponents many a hard fight :
Moore County will he stump for Free Silver and Woman's Rights
But always hie him home to his family at nights.
43
There will be two good men of great renown,
Both lowly parsons of a country town ;
Rich they will be in holy thought and work,
Nor Christian duty, however humble, ever will they shirk.
Just and upright will they live before the people's eyes;
Full loath will they be to plead for their slow-coming tithes.
The wayward they will labor to keep within the fold.
And the weak to their own bosoms will they gently hold.
Well will they an example give.
By their own lives, of how men should live.
Two better parsons, I trow, will never be,
Famed for their goodness and piety.
CoiT and Richardson are these worthy champions of the cross
Who will gather up the gold and fling away the dross.
Next I sing of one who from China hails;
But 't is right to say he never wears the Chinee-tails.
He as a lawyer will settle down
In some far-away Chinese town;
There he will much talking and more loafing do.
Conform to all the Chinese customs and wear the pigtail too.
DuBoSE is his name; he will be very learned in the law.
And from so much pleading will be known as " Ching Lang Jaw."
Much service to his benighted country he will render;
But, as all benefactors, his reward will be slender.
An expounder of the law, discreet and wise,
Who will have no witness swearing lies ;
Of fees and cases will he have many a one.
So great a collector will there nowhere be none.
All will be fee simple to Gourdin in effect,
If by any means he is able to collect.
He will settle down in his county-seat,
But remain as always, a tobacco beat ;
On the sea of politics he will launch his little boat.
Which will not sail for want of the breezy vote.
An athlete there will be, an agile man ; Many opponents will fall before his valiant hand. Football battles has he fought by the score. And of tennis tournaments far many more. But with his work will he always be behind. And when at last stern death shall draw the line. And St. Peter shall shut forever the golden gate, FiTZPATRicK will arrive just twenty minutes late.
There will be a preacher, a coleric man,
Whose beard will be shorn as close as ever it can.
Full long are his legs, and very lean.
Just like a staff; there 's no calf to be seen.
In all the country no one will be found
44
Whose speech with fair language will so much abound. The gospel HonoES will preach to all who will hear, Nor cease from his labors till grim death draw near.
A merchant McConnell will be,
Dealer in country produce and poultry.
This worthy man his wits so well will use
That there will be none from whom he will not get his dues.
He will make his English sweet upon his tongue.
While telling of the mighty deeds which he has done.
A snare for suckers he will ever keep set.
And woe to the unwary who are caught within his net.
Morrison will be a doctor in Shelby town,
Who on an old gray horse will ride around.
With saddle-bags well filled with powders and pills
To cure mankind of his many ills.
Upward in his profession he will continue to go,
And leave all competitors far below.
At duty's call he will ever do his best.
And sink at last to a peaceful rest.
A farmer " Kid" Rosf.man will be,
Living in peace and perfect charity.
His wife will he love with his whole heart.
Though sometimes she will make him smart.
Many children will call him "dad";
If he doesn't work — sure he better had.
But soothed and comforted by his meerschaum pipe.
He will live to an old age ripe.
John Rowe as a philosopher will soar high;
Ever ready of things to tell the wherefore and the why.
No disputed point will he ever yield.
But will his opponent always drive from the field.
Through his long and eventful course
Blt(ffvi'\\\ be his greatest force.
To get married will be the ambition of his life.
But all his days he is destined to spend without a wife.
WiLHELM and Spencer, two champions for the right.
Will ever be found in the midst of the fight.
To their high calling they will ever be true,
And much good for suffering humanity will always do.
Both great admirers of the culinary art:
This phase of life will ever be dear to their heart.
Over their flocks they will ceaseless vigil keep.
Till at last they are called to a peaceful sleep.

College Days.
These glad davs go trooping bv, ^ And soon become our past,

History o! Class o! 1903.
PROMPTED by an innate longing for knowledge, the various members of the Class of 1903 gathered at Davidson during the first week of September, 1899. We were green, suspicious, and had that disorganized, dejected appearance so common to Fresh. In the earl)- part of our first year we were conr vinced that a Fresh, should develop his ability for running rather than his brain. So frequently were we called upon to exercise this faculty, that it soon reached a very high state of cultivation. Nor were our musical and narrative tendencies allowed to corrode. Many were the germans, concerts, and recitals that we gave for the benefit of our friends.
After a short and unobtrusive meeting, we elected : H. H. Caldwell, Presi- dent ; J. H. McLain, Vice-President ; T. P. Sprunt, Secretary and Treasurer
The indignities these ofiBcers were subjected to at the hands of certain par- ties has led us to regard Fresh. Class officers as scapegoats upon whom the calumny and disrepute of the entire class must rest, in consequence of which they are driven into thorny pastures, where the waters roar and are ill at ease.
In September of the following year most of us returned. We were not timid now, but grim, determined, and looking for Fresh. After providing for these unfortunates, we sought loftier aims. This was the year of our lives. We smoked mean cigars, rode ponies, cut classes at our discretion, and flunked at the disposition of the Faculty. From our standpoint, we could see that College affairs were not moving properly, and would have gladly given the Trustees and Faculty some valuable hints on running a College and Fresh., but unfortunately they were too obtuse to appreciate our superior mental genius and we were too conservative to offer our advice when we realized that it wouldn't be appreciated. We also had a banquet, displayed the humorous side of our nature, ate too much, got sick, and felt bad next day ; but it was immense !
Our officers for this year were : President, W. H. Kirkpatrick ; Vice-Presi- dent, J. S. Bailey ; Secretary and Treasurer, A. L. Mills.
And now we are Juniors. The timidity of the Fresh, and the egotism of the Soph, are forgotten. Loaded down with a burden of dignity and imperative duties, we are moving steadily onward toward our diplomas. Junior speaking has passed. We have warned this thoughtless generation of its imminent perils, and at the same time thoughtfully provided means of escape, by the timely use of which these dangers may be avoided.
52
Our officers for this year are : W. P. Mills, President ; F. M. Rogers, Vice- President ; W. W. Arrowood, Secretary and Treasurer.
In Athletics 1903 has always occupied a prominent place. We had two men on the College Football Team and one on the College Baseball Team in our Fresh, year. Last year there were two 1903 men on the College Football Team. In class baseball games and in Field-day exercises, we have always made a very creditable record.
In matrimonial alliances 1903 has broken the record. "Rabbit" Lowe and "Buck" McKay have already laid aside the petty foibles of college life, and have undertaken to solve the hitherto in.soluble problem of married life, while " Duffy " is in the first stages of wedlock. Peace to them !

As *"(/ as he can be. He smokes cigars an' cigarettes —
But he's awful good to me. I carries his notes and letters.

My brother he wears glasses,

Brought on by overwork. 'T was jest 'fore zaminations.
An' the doctor man he said If brother didn't come home to rest
He surely would be dead.
Last night pa got a letter
From the college man up there Where my brother goes to college.
An' stays almost a year. Said my brother's health was failing;
Said the climate wasn't good For my brother's constitution,
An' he thought he'd better move.

History o! the Class of 1904.
ON the fifth day of September, 1900, we arrived at College, a Freshman Class of fift^'-six, the largest at Davidson for several years. We were not even acquainted with each other ; and, no doubt, had a slight touch of that greenness which has always been characteristic of the Freshman.
We knew little of college life, but had heard it rumored abroad that it behooves the new men at great institutions of learning to be modest, quiet, and unassuming in their manner, and to give ready obedience and due reverence to their majorcs statu, the Sophs. So, since from the beginning we were anxious to be excellent Fresh., we began to live in accordance with that time-honored college maxim, " A Freshman is made to be seen and not heard." O ! that the Freshman Classes succeeding us would follow our worthy example ! For we are persuaded that it would conduce to the .seemliness of their conduct.
We have intimated that we cringed before our oppres.sors ; and .so we did, as much as our independent, liberty-loving spirit would permit, — very little, you may be sure. While we were to all appearances as humble as the bitterest tyrant of them all could wi.sh, we secretly plotted deep conspiracies against their mis- rule. The story is soon told. An ominous whisper passed from mouth to mouth, knowing nods and winks followed it, with the result that on the night of the second day after our arrival, to our great delight, and to their great mortification, we met and organized, with F. L. Black, President ; G. R. McNeill, Vice-Presi- dent ; B. G. Team, Secretary and Treasurer ; and N. T. Wagner, Historian. This is the earliest Freshman Class organization in the history of the College.
As soon as the preliminary details had been arranged, we set about getting a great store of knowledge, sufficient to supply all demands made upon us for that article. The demands have come thick and fast ; but alas, how often the supply has been deficient ! Who of us has not learned what it is for a frowning professor to indicate in that terrible account-book that his trading stock of wis- dom, which he had hoped would amount to sixty, has in .some strange and incom- prehensible way diminished to zero? And j'et, dear reader, do not infer from this that we are negligent in our study, nor that we are lacking in intellectu- ality, for we are fully up to the average in these things ; and indeed, have had a larger number of men on the Honor Roll for one year than any other class in recent years.
59
In athletics, also, we have held our own. Although we had no class foot- ball games, we were represented on the College team ; and in the series of class baseball games we tied with the Sophs, for second place. On Field-day, we would have done even better than we did if we had been better acquainted with the management of the various events.
We were proficient in society work, and members of our class got the declaimer's medals from both literary societies.
Now we have returned, no longer Fresh., but Sophs., with all the hilarity befitting our promotion ; and we are in the midst of another year's work. We are .somewhat depleted in number by some of our men failing to return ; still, with a few new men and a few old ones from 1903, we number forty-two. At our first meeting this year we elected J. S. Morse, President ; J. W. Currie, Vice-President ; and A. A. McLean, Secretary and Treasurer. These officers are now doing their duty by the class.
At a recent meeting T. H. DeGraffenried was elected captain of the baseball team for this year, and R. K. Timmons, manager. We hope to get out a good team.
We had three men on the College football team this year, and several on the second team. We are going to be well represented, too, on the College baseball team.
With heavy hearts we are called upon to mourn the loss of one of our best and most popular men, G. A. McNair, of Hartsville, South Carolina, who died here on the 24th of December. We feel that his death is an inestimable lo.ss to the class, the College, and to the world at large, yet we bow in submission to the will of Him who rules the world in infinite love, and who directs our destinies in infinite wisdom.
In conclusion, the historian would say that he is utterly incapable of record- ing in a worthy manner the achievements of our class. It is sufficient to say that we are following and shall continue to follow the high standards and ideals with which we began our College life ; and that, if possible, we are going to raise these still higher. And let it be remembered that only a very small part of our history belongs to the past ; and that by far the greater and better part is of the future, to which we are bravely pressing on, inspired by our motto : " Tentare est Valere."

THE VISION OF THE FRESHMAN.
' The age of visions is not past,"
Moaned Charles Augustus Wright, As he tumbled and tossed upon his bed, One drear\' winter night.
H
Charles Augustus was a Freshman
Of a very verdant hue. From a town about as big as vour fist,
Where the tree of knowledge grev
.visdom was supernal, And his appetite most huge. He freed himself of knowledge.
While he gorged himself with food.
Seniors, Juniors, Sophs, and Fresh.
All looked alike to him. He knew no rank, nor creed, nor caste,
And could talk an elephant thin.
Nc
By the
i he tosssed upon his bed, message was brought to hir Arab, Abdul Koran,
nd the Chinaman, Ah Sin.
They howled aloud in fiendish glee, And snapped their fingers thin.
And clasped poor Charlie 'round the And winked their eves at him.
Then spake the Arab Abdul,
To Charles Augustus Wright : ' Listen to me, dear Charlie,
And put away your fright.
That your supernatural wisdom Is the very thing we need.
*' So put away your foolish fright And come along with me ; We'll sail away to the land of pain Across the briny sea."
Then they howled aloud in fiendish glee And snapped their fingers thin,
And clasped poor Charlie 'round the nei And winked their eyes at him.
Th.
Then spake the Chinaman, Ah Sin, In tones both sad and low ; "Oh, come with me, Augustus Wright, To the * Flowery Kingdom ' go. :)r we are a backward people, And our troubles not a few j nd surely with your wisdom You can tell us what to do."
"Come away with me," said Abdul;
" Nay, come with me," said Sin ; k, And straightway both fell quarreling
With a most terrific din.
h grabbed Charlie by a foot And pulled with all his might. And jabbered and cussed and wrangled 'Till Charles was cold with friglit,
Then they pulled him off on the Ho( And batted him over the head,
And kicked and cuffed and jabbered 'Till Charles was almost dead.
Yes— that was all of the vision.
What by this vision is taught ? Nothing — we had oysters for supper
Charles Augustus ate a quart.

McLean has shown by repeated experiments the func- tions of the vocal cords, and Sam Withers has given an accurate description of the functions of the vermiform appendix.
Lastly, we mention the new hospital, of which our class was the first to take charge. It has at all times been a most hospitable place for us to meet and our experience there has been very gratifying.
We might mention scores of other items that would be of interest ; but for fear of making our story too long, we must omit them.
We now close this attempted history with the hope that next year it will fall into more competent hands, and that the inspiration for which we have waited in vain this night may rest on him.

History of the Class of 1905.
ON the fifth of September ujoi, there assembled on the Davidson campus one of the largest and most promising classes in the history of the College. We were met at the depot by the Y. M. C. A. Reception Com- mittee and welcomed very cordially indeed. Unfortunately, the hospitality shown us by this committee was offset by the reception given us by the Sophs, on the ensuing night. The harrowing tale of Mary and her little lamb was in every Freshman's mouth, and the College walls resounded with the pathetic strains of " Home, Sweet Home."
Under these circumstances, we deemed it unwise to attempt any organization whatever. When, however, the gro.sser sensibilities of our tormentors had become satiated by our weird performances, and our fears had somewhat abated, we held a class meeting and elected the following officers : Shemwell, President ; Barksdale, Vice-President ; Wyman, Secretary and Treasurer ; Campbell, His- torian. The following yell was adopted :
Boo-la-ra ! Boo-la-ra ! Wah-hoo-wah !
Facere sine jactantia ;
Purple and Gold, Koka loo Kive !
Vive la ! Vive la ! Nineteen Five !
We immediately lined up in front of the College building and defiantly hurled our battle-cry into the very teeth of our opponents and — ran !
Nearly all our boys belong to one of the literary societies. Each one .seems to take a deep interest in the work required of him ; and so far all show marked progress in literary acquirements.
In athletics we have done fairly well. On the College football team we were represented by three men, and four on the scrub team. We will doubtless have two or three men on the baseball team this spring ; and our material for representation on Athletic Day is promising.
With this brief account, I shall conclude the attempted history of our class, trusting that, though we may not reach preeminence during our college or busi- ness life, or rise to the lofty heights of oratory, poetry, or philosophy, we may nevertheless be stimulated to press ever forward to higher and better things, per- forming our duty with scrupulous fidelity, ever believing in the motto, " Facere sine jactantia."

The Fresh.
A green-looking Fresh, came on the hill,
And to the Bursar paid his bill ;
Then essayed he fortli new things to see,
And wondered how such things could be.
He saw old Project and heard him gas
Of high-toned boys and window-glass ;
He heard little Dickie talking Dutch,
And wondered why he talked so much ;
He saw bland Tommy, and feared a drouth
Until he ope'd his luscious mouth ;
Then Puss told him a splendid joke
About old Noah and his famous boat ;
Bill Joe's appearance gave him a shock,
But he didn't stop to laugh or mock ;
Dandy Jim's kind smile, so broad and sweet.
Was in joyous accord with his graceful feet.
Wondering, he saw Long John go by,
Amazed that men could grow so high.
Then went he over to buy some books,
But fled in dismay at old Wooley's looks.
Down the crowded street he rushed in a hurry,
And ran into the arms of good Doctor Currie.
This kind gentleman quieted his fears.
Soothed his excitement and dried up his tears.
Galloped him to market on his broad, spacious knee.
Now that F"resh. is as happy as a Freshman can be.
THE ONE 1 LOVE BEST.
Nestling at the lily's breast,
Tiny, sunlit drop of dew — May the one that I love best
Be as fair as you :
Near to earth ivithout earth's taint. As you in your cup of pearl ;
Not an angel or a saint — Just a pure, true girl.
From the -world that round her lies, fathering nothing but the sweet ;
IFith that light caught from the skies. Making life complete :
Fair and pure and sweet and good. Blessing all around, and blest —
Such a one is she I would Choose to love the best.

Senior Class History.
THE history of a class of men who are just in the beginning of professional life seems out of place. Judging from the past might make the future seem gloomy for some of us ; and different from the bright record that we all wish. There is an old adage, however, that '" large trees from small acorns grow," so if any of the men of 1902 should have an individual history as insig- nificant as that of the little acorn, that does not prove that he will not some day tower above his fellow trees in the great forest of his profession.
Our class is composed of eighteen men. Being associated together in thf study of human bodies, in health and in disea.se, in life and in death, we have cer- tainly become acquainted with each other as thoroughly as we could possibly be. But with all this knowledge of both our gross and minute anatomy, we are not yet able to read minds and judge just what impressions have been made, nor what each would consider the most important events for historical note. One might suggest a vivid picture of the dissecting hall, with its ghastly aspects and peculiar aroma ; another would wish us to make mention of the large, cumber- some text-books and long lectures ; while to others the growing of mustaches and whiskers, and various other diversions from the ordinary routine of student life would seem the most important part of his College days.
Aside from the serious part of our development — the moral, mental, and physical — our history could be filled up entirely with Judd's marvelous tales, Matheson's jokes, or Skinner's Swiss conversations. It could be made very interesting by describing in detail Strohecker's sermon on the typhoid bacillus ; Phiter's Regal Shoe epidemic ; Dr. Sisk's discovery of the site of seeing with his method of heali7ig a heel ; Boone's preparation, financially, fo the Medical Board(ers); Kirk's differenlial diagnosis of infantile pneumonia ; and Dowd's
78
treatise on mania a patu. Hicks's ingenious methods of irrigation of the antrum would fill volumes, while Taylor's list of new diseases would make a book of con- siderable size ; McQueen's symptoms of love present nothing new and scarcely deserve mention, though Yount's prophylastic treatment for such affections is to be highly recommended. McLean has shown by repeated experiments the func- tions of the vocal cords, and Sam Withers has given an accurate description of the functions of the vermiform appendix.
Lastly, we mention the new hospital, of which our class was the first to take charge. It has at all times been a most hospitable place for us to meet and our experience there has been very gratifying.
We might mention scores of other items that would be of interest ; but lor fear of making our story too long, we must omit them.
We now clo.se this attempted history with the hope that next year it will fall into more competent hands, and that the inspiration for which we have waited in vain this night may rest on him. Though what we have written is wander- ing and uninteresting, we thank you for having read it, and we sincerely hope that even now our motto is applicable to you :
" Sana mens in corpore sano."

They sat upon the tett-a-tete,
The lights were burning dim:
He looked with eyes of love on her, ><he shot a glance at him.
" I tliink I need," he VL-ntured bold, "A doctor, don't you see? For in my heart of hearts, 1 vow The pain 's most killing me."
She brushed aside the wavy liair. Threw back a hauglity head : " Then, foolish boy, why don't you seek ? The world is full," she said.
" Ah, yes ! l;)ut in this .sickness sore No time to lose," said he,
'' So in the name of Cupid bright 1 dub you now M. D."
A roseate blush and drooping eyes In silence told the tale. " The pain, my dear, has fled," said he ; " Your skill can never fail."
And then, as flicker went the gas.
He deemed it not amiss To claim of this, his own M. D.,
Love's antidote — a kiss.

SOME old sage has said that coming events cast their shadows before. Realiz- ing the truth of this statement, we grasp the telescope of time and, launch- ing forth into the boundless realms of space, are borne upon the wings of imagination to the planet Mars. From this suidum temotum we turn our pro- phetic gaze backward to the earth and perceive an ever-brightening constellation of medical luminaries encircling like a halo of dazzling radiance the center of their system, the N. C. M. C, from which great source of light their own splendor has been derived. It is the Class of 1902.
H. S. Munroe, returning from a post-cour.se at Edinburgh, Scotland, finds that his alma mater has transferred her residence to Charlotte, and is domiciled in a stately, brownstone building, where his avuncular relative is still the head of the house. Walking up the granite steps he pushes an ivory button. Old Jack appears with a sweeping obeisance as Stokes exclaims : " I am one of the clan ! " Jack escorts him to the chair of surgery which he fills with his usual ability. Knowing that he has crossed the meridian of life, at which period the family, as a rule, are extremely anxious to join the throng of Benedicts, he begins hurling Cupid's darts thick and fast at the heart of a fair young lassie, who falls a vic- tim to his furious onslaught. Clasping her in his arms, we hear him exclaim as of yore, " Eureka! "
Skinner locates at Whiteville, N. C, but only temporarily. He is soon car- ried off into a swamp by a gallinipper. Escaping, he captures a bear, with which he gives street entertainments, much to the delight of the .small boy and the coon. Rising to eminence in his new calling, he journeys abroad with his ursine mate, and while touring afoot through darkest Africa he falls into the hands of canni-
bals, wlio stew him and his bear in the same pot. His death is soon avenged, for every member of the tribe dies in the throes of acute indigestion before the echo of his last " Hup-ma-ray ! " dies away into silence.
Withers never joins a labor union, but allies himself with the Society of Astute Ananiases, of which he is elected Grand Mogul by unanimous vote. The medical profession suffers little at his hands, and when he lays it aside is practi- cally as good as new. ' ' How is that ? ' '
Boone passes the State Board by a small majority, after which ordeal he settles down at Newport News, where he is of great service to suffering humanity, especially to sextons and undertakers — " Let me tell you."
After making some startling discoveries in the chemical world, Dowd pitches his tent at Eagle Springs, where he combines the duties of professional with the pleasures of social life. He .spends most of his energy in the ballroom, where his light fantastic toe is very much in evidence. " Yes, sir ! "
Hicks, after a skirmish with the Board, gets his license, and then repeats his former tours over the United States and Canada. Finally, locating in Eastern North Carolina, he wages a hopeless war against the mosquitoes and malaria. " Ah, man ! "
Strohecker, having become interested in Hydrotherapy, purchases the Barium Springs, and having tested its cleansing and curing powers by dipping into the water (only) seven times in three years, succeeds in convincing the world of its value, and the hearts of his friends are gladdened by his cry of " Drinks on me, boys ! "
Sisk goes to India as a medical missionary. We see him traveling up and down the Ganges dispensing Te.stamenls and tinctures, riding on the back of a hippopotamus, whose life-long devotion he has won by curing it of tuberculosis
in the la,st stage. " Well, it seems to me "
Young, the promising pliysician of Mooresville, makes ■]o% on Senior Chem- istry, receives his diploma, and goes on his way rejoicing. " Yes."
Our heart goes out in fraternal sympathy to the mountaineers of Western North Carolina, as we see Yount on the South Fork of the Catawba digging roots and gathering yarbs for the healing of the nations.
Kirkpatrick hits the State Board so hard that four men drop out. Aided by the prestige thus acquired, he lays siege to the heart of a widow with fourteen children and a multitude of mothers-in-law, who soon capitulates. His aptitude in diseases of children and the clinical advantages furnished by his family unite to make him the most successful specialist in Pediatrics the world has ever seen. McCracken saunters back to Crabtree, Haywood County, to look after the sick and afflicted. There he learns to his .sorrow that a physician is not without practice save in his own county.
We see standing on the Atlantic sands a tall, handsome old man, gazing list- lessly out across the waters. We at once recognize him to be our old friend Tay-
lor. He has made a specialty of melancholia, has his oifice in the open air, and is now waiting on the warm seashore for the arrival of his patients, who soon appear in the shape of myriads of mermaids gathering from their caverns in the deep to gaze in love-sick adoration on his Jove-like form. " Ah, Ponti."
Phifer had located at Morganton in the early part of the twentieth century. We now see him there standing on the top of the .State Ho.spital, raving over a game of football which he imagines is being played below. With the exception of these hallucinations he is perfectly quiet and the experts connected with the institution have pronounced him harmless, but incurable.
Under the broad fronds of a palmetto tree we .see the herculean frame of Big McLean, with a .song book open on his knee. Accustomed to bealim: time in mu.sic. the good doctor has grown more cruel as the years went by, and is now continually killing time in the medical profession.
Matheson, bathing in the surf to refresh himself after his desperate struggle with the Examining Board, is swallowed by a whale with a morbid appetite. The whale makes a Sabbath day's journey southward, and finding that he had ingested more than he could assimilate, swims to the shore and, provoking emesis by sticking his tail down his throat, ca;5,ts Mathe.son forth on a sand-bar in South Carolina. Here Matheson's wonderful memory for old jokes soon attracts the attention of the proprietors of Harter's Medical Almanac, who engage his ser- vices as editor-in-chief at an enormous salary.
Judd, who has an aversion to anything dry, from a prohibition town to a lecture on medical ethics, we find, as might be expected, on the bosom of the mighty deep. He is sacrificing his life on the altar of his country by serving as a surgeon in the United States Navy. His first hygienic innovation was to cut down the sailor's grog allowance 50 percent., which he did by appropriaiing it for his ow^n use. The result w^as a marked decrease in mortality among Uncle Sam's jolly tars. As Mr. Judd possesses, in an eminent degree, the faculty of seeing things that are not there, which gift is greatly stimulated by his efforts in behalf of other men's sobriety, the "Saturday Blade" will again revel in startling accounts of " Horrible Monsters, as Seen by Our Special Correspondent on board the United States Warship Temperance." " It 's up to you. "

Dr. Maxwell has made some epoch-marking discoveries in the course of his histological researches. Among other things he has identified the specific germ which causes laziness, culture furnished by King.

The origin of the cell is rather in doubt, as Jim had loaned the razor to Justice a few days previous.

He was addressinf? the large and attentive class in Soph. Chem- istry on the nitrification of soil by the all-pervading micro-organism.

Rev. J. B. Shearer, D. D., LL. D.
THE editors, as representatives of the students of Davidson College, wish this page of the Annual to express their appreciation of Dr. Shearer's unfailing devotion to the interests of the students and of the College, and their admiration of him as a man, as a scholar, and as a Christian.
John Bunyan Shearer, the eldest son of John A. Shearer, was born July 19, 1832, in Appomattox Count}^ Virginia. In 1851 he was graduated by Hamp- den-Sidney College Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts in 1854, by the Uni- versity of Virginia. At the University he was the contemporary and intimate friend of such distinguished men as Dinwiddie, Bowman; Broaddus, Taylor, Mcllwaine, Nelson, Peters, and Martin. After the regular course in theology at Union Seminary, he was called, in 1859, as his first regular pastorate, to Chapel Hill, N. C. From Chapel Hill he went in 1862, to a charge in Halifax County, Virginia, where, in addition to his preaching, he founded a school which pros- pered exceedingly.
His success as a teacher and financier led to a call in 1870 to the presidency of Stewart College, Clarksville, Tennessee. This institution, then without "stu- dents, faculty, apparatiis, cabinets, or library," was by his ability as administra- tor, financier, and educator, built up until it became the strong and substantial Southwestern Presbyterian University. In 1888, Dr. Shearer was called to David-son College as President and Professor of Biblical Instruction. These posi- tions he filled with eminent ability until June, 1901, when owing to failing strength and a desire for time to put his literary work into permanent form, Dr Shearer laid down the burdens of the presidency. He still occupies his chair of Biblical Instruction, and teaches with all his accustomed energy and enthusiasm. During his administration as president the number of students at David.son was almost exactly doubled, increasing from eighty-nine to one hundred and .seventy-five ; and this fact is only external evidence of the healthy growth of the College in influence and in usefulne.ss. Nor has Dr. Shearer's activity in the cause of education been confined to the professor's chair or to the president's office. He is the Chairman of the General Assembly's Permanent Committee on Church and Christian Education, a cause to which his life has been earnestly devoted. He has given ten thousand dollars as an endowment fund to the University at Clarksville ; and he has just completed, at an expenditure of about the same amount, and turned over to the trustees of Davidson College, the
114
Shearer Biblical Hall, a double monument to Dr. vShearer's generosity and to the subject of study nearest his own heart. Besides these beneficences, Dr. Shearer has contributed largely of his time, wise judgment, and means to the cause of the education of women. Red Springs Seminary, the Statesville Female College, and the Presbyterian College at Charlotte are in great part the work of his hands.
Dr. Shearer's life stands for two high and closely related principles : Church and Christian Education, and the Bible as a subject of College Instruction. " In 1870 he planned and executed the idea of making a thorough and comprehensive training in the English Bible a necessary part of higher education " — so far as is known the first practical and successful application of this idea.
All who have been benefited by Dr. Shearer, and the number of such is large, owe an equal portion of gratitude to his wife, nee Lizzie Gessner. To her the Biblical Hall is dedicated. "She has been her husband's best coun.selor and inspiration in every good work, and whatever they have done of good each gives the other the credit of it all. Not being blessed with children of their own, their one thought has been to bless the children of others. ' '
This .sketch consists necessarily of mere cold facts. Beneath them there lies a story of noble self-denial, of consecrated devotion to lofty ideals, that must be an inspiration to all who know Dr. Shearer. As a .scholar, he is exact, thorough, and at the same time broad ; as a teacher, singularly gifted with the power of impres.sing great truths upon the minds of his students, and of training them to think ; as a man, he possesses great business sagacity, and withal a fund of genial humor and general information that make him delightful as a companion ; as a preacher, clear, logical, cogent, and in the highest and truest sense eloquent He is a power making for righteousness, and it is the earnest prayer of all who know him that his life may long be spared as a benediction to the world.

The Pledge of Her Love.
' ' /"^H, if we flowers would but speak, what stories we could tell," murmured I J a faded pink rosebud, lying in a tiny Testament. " Full well do I ^"^ remember when I first unfolded my petals and looked around me. I was the only bud on a bush that grew by the gate of an old Southern home. It was a lovely evening in June, and a few pale stars were gazing down at me. I was trying to bend my stem so that I could see them better, when I heard voices, and a man and a girl stopped beside the gale.
" He bent down and kissed her lips tenderly, then mounted his hor.se and rode away. Suddenly two warm, red lips touched my velvety petals. ' Little flower,' the maiden whispered, ' I will have to tell you — I could not tell any per- son ; little flower, he loves me — he loves me ! Ah, God will help me to lie good and pure and lovely, for my love's sake ; and, little flower, no one else shall ever touch my lips ! ' and she kissed me again.
;!; ;|: * * * *
" The next evening they came again ; and as she told him good-bye (he was going to take his place under the banner of Lee), she broke me off the bush where I 'd had such a short life, and kissing me, .said ; ' Let me put this in your Testament, dear.'
" As he put the book back into his pocket, he clasped her hand and said : ' Whenever I am tried or tempted, I shall look at this little rose, and, rcL-alling your sweet faith and trust in me, I shall learn to trust my.self.'
;|; :■; * * * ;K
" Months went by ; the .soldier-boy had stopped writing to his girl. He never opened his Te.stament now to look at me — a silent witness of her love.
" At last there came a great battle, and when it was over he was left lying on the field, his blood staining my faded petals.
" riiey buried him there under a sentinel-like pine, and one of his comrades took the Testament from over his heart and sent it to the lonely girl.
" When we were handed to her, her eyes were bright with pain. No tears had she shed ; for did not people say that her lover had been unfaithful to her ?
" Very quietly she opened the book, but when she saw me lying between two blood-stained pages, she remembered that I had been a pledge of her love and faith. Like a summer .shower, her tears gushed forth and fell on my stained and faded leaves.
" Then she ki.ssed me once again, and I knew that her lover was forgiven."

Disconsolate, lone, of life almost aweary,
Kate, dear one, or guiding spirit, if such there be,
Led my wandering footsteps to thy side. In thy pure self my better life I found ; My heart for thee with yearning love was filled ;
In thee I saw my guardian angel, love, my guide.

Cherry and Barllelt.
While the glowing coals were fading, casting shadows here and there, Two young hearts were strangely lighted by a feeling new and rare ; Cherry's rosy cheeks were flaming, dark brown eyes all hid from view ; BarileH at her feet, was telling tale of love forever new.
What a pang he felt when Cherry cried, " Vou are a "'//'/ f/onw pbnn ! '' Of course he knew she was mistaken, since from ancient race he 'd come ; Too gallant to gainsay a woman — " What about <)ni,srliirri/ fiirt / " " Or a/ij)lr sillier/ " The stinging answer drove them farther still apart.
Another evening's shadows lengthened: Cherry's heart expanded wide; Bartlett, led by Blind Boy Cupid, claimed sweet Cherry for his bride ; Cherry having strong opinions on the " Freedom of the Press," Bartlett then got (■/'(/(■/■ {'side her), hoping to receive a fond caress.
He had hoped to quaff sweet nn-far from her rosy lips so red. But, instead, made f.'hi-rry-in-iii, hurt her feelings, to his dread. Cherry-bonner (il) with indignation — then decided not to peni-h ; Peace pnsrrviil, Love's airy nothings whispered softly each to each.
Cherry's love now being boundless, at her father's wondering stare — " Papa, don't you think that we 'II be truly a most jolly jinir (pear) ? " They didn't care a single A// how soon the ihitr was set. And eurriiiit (rent) reports are even now that she is Cherry Bartlett.

Clvbs.
THOSE readers of Quips and Cranks who are not acquainted with our College life may be struck by the fact that the number of clubs in David- son College has largely decreased. Feeling that some explanation is necessary, we will say, in the first place, that it is due to various causes. The boys at Davidson are many-sided, if anything, and each one has a high regard for his own opinion. For instance : We were to have State Clubs this year, and the delegations from the various States were called together to perlect some kind of an organization. The Florida delegation could not agree upon a suitable emblem, Daffin upholding as his choice a gopher on a field of green, while Spen- cer clung with equal fervor to the alligator on a field of blue. The South Caro- linians met to organize, but Peter Goiirdin brought up the question as to whether they should support McLaurin or Tillman. the discussion waxed warmer and warmer until a free fight was precipitated. After the ruins were cleared away, John Peter corralled the pugnacious Sand Lappers in his hospital, and the Pal- metto Club could not be. The clubs from the other States were weak in numbers and the North Carolinians pre.sented such a heterogeneous combination for an etnblem that the Editor-in-Chief of the Annual refused to publish it. It seems that the men from western North Carolina wanted a still-worm burrowing in the side of a steep hill in full moonlight ; those from the middle section wanted a coal-black negro dipping turpentine from a large pine tree in the noon-day sini ; while those from Eastern Carolina wanted a gallinipper sitting under the shade of a peanut vine, quietly munching strawberries and cream. It was just such dif- ferences of opinion which caused all the other clubs to fall through. The whist- players, crap-shooters, and smokers clubs, we should add, were abolished by an edict of the Faculty ; girls in Davidson were so scarce that " Ye Ladies' Men's" Club was discontinued.
164
The Sons of Rest.
THE Sons of Rest, having been specially favored by the Faculty, are largely in the majority. Special inducements having been offered by this organi- zation, we give below the minutes of their annual meeting. We give also the organization of the order, and pictures of the officers, except Mr. Martin's. The photographer tried three times to get a photo, of the Faculty representative, but each time his instrument was broken.

Minutes of Annual Meeting.
THE annual Assemblj' of the Sons of Rest was called to order at usual time by the Supreme I^ounger. Several new faces mingled with the old, among which were seen : Wear}' Willie, Sand-hill Dan, and Dromedary. These candidates for permanent membership were received and duly initiated, after their records had been approved by the Committee on Membership.
The As.sembly now being in session as Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, Sissy harangued as follows :
"Supreme Lounger and Fellow Members: I move that Big-foot Bob, Senti- mental Frank, and Parson Knox, be appointed as Representatives Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary to raid old Puss's wine cellar, Dickie's hen-coop, and Dandy Jim's beer garden for the edification and sustentation of this august and worthy body. And I further move that they be required to report within one hour. " Here he sat down amid tumultuous applause. Many clamored for recognition, but Catfish finally secured the floor and .seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried.
Peter the Great Gourdvine now aro.se with a .stern and solemn mien and spake as follows :
" O, Supreme Lounger, and Fellow Dirt-Packers : Suppose one of us .should some day find himself shipwrecked in the middle of the Pacific, floating around in a tub with only a two-cent postage stamp as collateral, and a passing steamer should ask you fifty dollars to take you on board. Now the question is : What would you do ? " He then .sat down with that sardonic grin of the riddle expounder. The full meaning of such a dilemma soon dawned upon the audi- ence, but far more did they feel the amount of energy necessarily expended in its concepiion, and a roar of anger filled the council hall. With a mighty rush the Sons of Rest hurled themselves upon the once great and honored Peter and he was most unceremoniousl}- hustled from the meeting and his name stricken from the roll, to be remembered among us no more forever. After this unusual exertion the hall fell into a state of apathy, and quiet reigned supreme.
When the shock of exertion had passed and the members had collected their equanimity, Jeemes Currie, Chairman of the Council of Ten, made the following
report :
1 66
"To the Supreme Lounger and Fellow Knights of the Road: Having quietly, calmly, and deliberately considered the facts, we find that our constitu- tion has been trampled under foot ; our laws and regulations prostituted ; our most cherished principles bartered as the dust of the earth ; our holy traditions have been polluted, and our order brought to open shame and public disgrace. The finger of scorn is pointed at us by the offscouring of the earth. We are a hiss and a reproach to all men. What has brought about these conditions? How can such things be ? They are the result of misplaced confidence and betrayed trust. The object of our organization and the individual duty of the members is the conservation of energy by floating through life on the flowery stream of ease. We find such is not true. Silent Charley is known to have read three lines of his Greek parallel without the aid of our bosom friends, Hinds and Noble ; Sleepy Rufo has been seen at prayers on an average of once in two months ; Wild Rose actually made a cigarette while carrying twenty-seven ducks in his pocket ; Long John turned over in his sleep ; on his return trip from Best- ing, Smiling Wilson walked half a mile in.stead of riding the blind-baggage ; Li-stless Tom heaved one long sigh when he saw Dickie's Junior German exami- nation ; Reddy Paul is in the habit of taking a bath every six w ' '
But outraged humanity could stand no more. At this long recital of crimes so heinous, the pent-up feelings of the as.sembled hoboes found expression in a wail of horror like unto that of Dante's Inferno. Pandemonium broke loose and yells of dire revenge filled the air. But fortunately at this moment the Foraging Committee returned laden with richest spoils. Soon the sparkling wine of Old Puss and the frothing beer of Dandy Jim were moi.stening the parched throats of the cheering hoboes, while the death squawk of Dickie's chickens floated away on a spring zephyr.
Here we draw the curtain, just as the Alligator Charmer leads the assembly in the mighty chorus : "We Won't Go Home Till Morning."
