BOWDOIN ORIENT
VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, APRIL 20, 1906
NO. 1
COLLEGE RALLY
The third annual rally was held in Memo-
rial Hall last Friday evening, and proved
itself one of the most notable occasions held
at Bowdoin for a long time. A large num-
ber of Bowdoin's best known and most loyal
alumni were on hand and these with the stu-
dent body and a number of preparatory school
men made the gathering a large and enthusi-
astic one.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
flags of many colleges, fraternity banners
and other decorations, all of which were
arranged about the hall in a most artistic
manner. Music was furnished by the college
band and the Glee Club and this part of the
program gave a pleasing variety to the even-
ing.
One of the attractive things of the rally
were the souvenirs, which consisted of printed
copies of some of the Bowdoin college songs.
On the outside cover was a fine picture of the
Hubbard Library and the college seal, together
with the date of the rally. Altogether the
souvenir was one of the most pleasing that
could have been devised and reflects great
credit upon the committee.
Like its predecessors, Friday night's rally
was delightfully informal. The Freshman
and the "old Grad" met on equal grounds and
like true Bowdoin men, they felt that it was
as it should be. Speeches were made, the
band played, refreshments were served and
from the time Chairman Hawkesworth
introduced the first speaker until the close,
the occasion was one of delightful informal-
ity and good fellowship. Surely the rallies
are one of the great events of the college
year.
The speaking was of the best. There was
wit and fun mingled with more serious things
touching the policies of the college and its
varied interests; and more than that, the
speeches all had the ring of the Bowdoin
spirit.
The first speaker introduced by Chairman
Hawkesworth was President Hyde, who
responded in his usual happy manner. He
said, among other things, that Bowdoin was
always celebrating, and this time it was the
100th anniversary of the first Commencement.
He also stated that he was pleased to
announce two gifts to the college. The first
was a present from the Class of '73 and was
a trophy to be presented annually to the class
among the alumni that was most largely rep-
resented at each Commencement. The sec-
ond gift announced was from a number of
the alumni who had subscribed $5,000 to
make up the deficit in the running expenses
of the college for the coming year. Presi-
dent Hyde then touched upon the topic of
"The College Man in Business," and in a brief
but forcible manner showed that there was
a constantly growing demand for the college
man in this field.
The next speaker was Judge Clarence
Hale, '69, of Portland. Judge Hale responded
to the subject "The Atmosphere of the Col-
lege." His speech was exceedingly humor-
ous and was one of the happy responses of
the evening.
Dr. Daniel Robinson, '73, of Bangor, was
the next speaker, and his address was both
eloquent and brilliant. He responded to the
subject "Bowdoin Spirit" and told of his first
impressions received at the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Class of 1825, at which Longfel-
low was present. He also spoke of an inci-
dent of the college days of Gen. Thomas H.
Hubbard who got into a dispute with a rail-
road man and which ended somewhat disas-
trously for the general's antagonist. Dr.
Robinson referred very eloquently to the
heroism of Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, The
Hero, of Little Round Top ; to William Pitt
Fessenden, the statesman ; to Charles Jame-
son, Class of '76, who led a forlorn hope in
the Boxer uprising, and to Commander Peary
now on a dash for the North Pole-
Franklin C. Payson, '76, was the next
speaker. Like all of Mr. Payson's speeches,
his remarks were bright and humorous. He
said that the only speaker in his class was
Charles T. Hawes of Bangor, who was also
present. He stated that the 100th -.-anniver-
sary, to which President Hyde had referred,
BOWDOIN ORIENT
was merely an incident and that the real sig-
nificance of the occasion was in the fact that
it was the 30th anniversary of the Class of
1876.
Charles T. Hawes, a graduate member of
the Athletic Council, came next. He spoke
on "Bowdoin's Present Athletic Policy," and
among other things said: "It is our, policy
to maintain our present freedom and avoid
all entangling alliances with other colleges of
the State. Football will be played at Bow-
doin next year, no matter what other colleges
do. The outlook in track and baseball is
encouraging and all hope for a clean record
of Bowdoin victories."
Coach Smith and Captain Tobey of the
track team spoke of the track situation and
urged upon the students the necessity of hard
work. Coach Irwin and Captain Hodgson
of the baseball team spoke of the baseball sit-
uation. They stated that the prospects for a
good team were encouraging.
Captain Drummond of next fall's football
team stated that a system of graduate coach-
ing would be inaugurated with the next col-
lege year and that Laferriere, '01, would be
the head coach.
Other speakers were Harry L. Webber, '03,
of Auburn, and George E. Fogg, '02, of Port-
land. The meeting concluded with the col-
lege yells, songs and cheering, ending an
event that all who were present will long
remember.
DRAMATIC CLUB
The first production of "The Rivals" will
be given in the Brunswick Town Hall next
Friday evening, April 27. The club has been
handicapped by several of its members, being
forced to drop out. Only this week Estes,
'09, who was to take the part of "Julia," has
left college to teach. Nevertheless, Simmons,
'09, will fill his place, and everything
points to a good production next Friday.
Ever since the spring term began, rehearsals
have been held daily, and the competent
coach, "Gus" Huse of Bath, has pronounced
the cast to be even better than it was last
year. "The Rivals" is a comedy, and
although it has been on the boards many
years, it is just as full of fun and just as
laughable to-day as it was a hundred years
ago.
The Dramatic Club needs the support of
the whole student body this year, for the cost
of the staging of such a play as "The Rivals"
amounts to a large sum. The costumes and
wigs are of the period of the Revolution and
can only be hired at large expense. Further-
more, "The Rivals" is a play which calls for
much good acting, and consequently consid-
erable time and money have been spent at the
rehearsals, for which one of the best coaches
in the State has been employed. The pro-
duction of an annual college play will become
an established custom at Bowdoin, if the play
is a success this year, but if "The Rivals" is
not a success it is probable that dramatics
will have to be given up. To make the play
a success every man in college can help by
being present. The seats cost but 50 cents,
and every one that comes is guaranteed his
money's worth. The plan for the sale of
tickets is as follows: Checks will be sold this
week to every one who intends to attend the
play, and these checks, which cost 50 cents
apiece, can be exchanged for seats when the
seats go on sale at Shaw's Book Store at 8
a. m., Monday, April 23.
Admission tickets will also be sold at the
door on the evening of the performance, but
seats will probably not be obtainable then.
The cast for next Friday is as follows : "Sir
Anthony Absolute," F. E. R. Piper, 06;" Capt.
Absolute," W. S. Linnell, '07; "Faulkland,"
W. E. Roberts, '07; "Bob Acres," J. W. Ley-
don, '07; "Sir Lucius," H. N. Marsh, '09;
"David," L. H. Fox, '06; "Fag," H. W.
Atwood, '09; "Mrs. Malaprop," J. A. Bart-
lett, '06; "Lydia," P. H. Powers, '08; "Julia,"
J. S. Simmons, '09; "Lucy," H. ' H. Bur-
ton, '09.
MUSICAL CLUB CONCERTS
Manager Andrews has completed arrange-
ments by which the postponed concerts at
Thomaston and Camden are to take place
Tuesday and Wednesday, April 24 and 25.
The Tuesday evening's concert will be at
Thomaston and that of Wednesday evening
at Camden. The concert at Thomaston will
be given under the auspices of the Junior
Class of the High School, instead of the
Senior Class, as had been previously
arranged.
The date of the annual Brunswick concert
will be Monday, May 7.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
THE TRACK OUTLOOK
This year Bowdoin faces one of the hardest
battles in the history of her track athletics.
With the graduation of Captain Denning of
last year's team, the college lost its great indi-
vidual point winner, and the loss is not easily
replaced.
Nevertheless, there are some very encour-
aging features of the present situation and
the men are developing splendidly under the
efficient coaching of Mr. Smith. In the
jumps especially, there seems to be a remark-
able amount of new material, all of which is
developing rapidly. In the distance runs
Bowdoin should have strong candidates for
the leading positions. The men who have
done such good work in the past two years
are in good form again and will doubtless
give a good account of themselves. In the
pole vault and half mile the prospects do not
appear so encouraging, although they may
improve before the meet.
Not much is known about the new material
for the sprints, as the muddy condition of the
track up to the middle of the week had pre-
vented a good tryout. Captain Tobey is in
fine form for the hurdles and there are some
other men who are working out well in these
events.
A good word should be said for Coach
Smith. He is working hard and conscien-
tiously with the men and is not only taking
careful pains with the sure point winners, but
also with the men who may not accomplish
much the present year, but who are to count
in the years to come.
The following men are candidates for the
different events :
Sprints — Jenks, Doherty, Crowley, Lee,
R. Files, Skates, Bouve, Rich, Putnam,
Childs, Giles.
Quarter Mile— Kimball, Stubbs, A. F. Bur-
ton, Johnson, Pottle, A. L. Smith, Merrill,
Goodspeed, Marsh, Leighton, Hichborn,
Archibald, Powers.
Half Mile — Holman, Blair, Chadbourne,
Hughes, Brewster, Morrison, Timberlake.
Long Runs — Shorey, D. S. Robinson, Tefft,
A. L. Robinson, Simmons, Grey, Benner,
Phillips.
Broad Jump — Purington, Whitemore, Min-
cher, M. C. Webber, Penned, Thaxter,
Crowley.
High Jump — Thaxter, Penned, Atwood,
Bridsrham, Sanborn.
Pole Vault — Winched, H. Burton, Gaston-
guay.
Hurdles — Tobey, LeavitfJ, Skolfiekl, Adam.s.
Shot and Hammer — Garcelon, Hatch, Mac-
Michael.
Discus — Adams, Webber, Thomas, Stacey.
Notice.
Coach Smith wishes all who are trying for
the field events to come out between 10 and 12
o'clock in the morning:.
HARVARD SECOND GAME
Manager Wilson of the baseball team,
announces that he has arranged a game with
Harvard Second for June 2. This is the date
when the proposed game with Dartmouth
would have been played, and will complete a
schedule of the usual number of games. The
game will be played on the Whittier field.
DR. SACHS' LECTURE
Dr. Julius Sachs spoke in Memorial Hall last
Monday evening on 'Teaching as a Profession."
Dr. Sachs is connected with the Department of
Education at Columbia University and is one of the
leading educators of the country.
He said in part : "Every student as he approaches
the end of his college course naturally turns his
mind to thoughts of his future work. In a great
measure the decision of this question should depend
upon himself, yet the advice and counsel of his
professors will often aid greatly in shaping his
future course. Opinion is prevalent at the present
day that the profession of teaching is over-crowded,
and so it is., but by men of inferior ability. For
the right kind of man approaching it in the right
spirit it offers an attractive field and the difficulty
at present is that there are not enough competent
men to fill places.
"Men should not elect teaching for the good it
does them, but for the good that they can confer
upon humanity. Mere college training is not a fit
for teaching, but simply a basis upon which the
teacher can build. The two requisites necessary for
a successful teacher are scholarship, and study of
methods. In the first of these the student should
avoid the dangers of specialization, and endeavor
to procure a good general education, and develop
keen reasoning powers. In methods of study
mechanical methods alone cannot bring success,
they should be accompanied by tact and skill,
qualities which every teacher should make strenu-
ous efforts to acquire. You who would be teachers,
neglect no opportunity to broaden, extend your
knowledge along social as well as literary lines,
disregard those who advocate specialization in the
earlier part of the college course and utilize every
opportunity to strengthen and fortify your position
as a teacher."

Concerning
Ourselves
With this issue the
Orient passes into the
hands of the new editorial
board. It is with a keen sense of responsi-
bility and with some knowledge of the diffi-
culties connected with the work that the new
board enters upon its duties. It is not too
much to say that the task of getting out a
representative weekly in a college of Bow-
doin's size is one of the most difficult duties
connected with the various fields of college
activities- The man who labors in athletics
has the constant inspiration of an enthusias-
tic student body behind him ; the same is true
to a great extent of the debater ; and in either
case their work is largely confined to a season.
It is different with the men on the college
paper. They get but few kind words (if they
are fortunate enough to deserve them), and
they are sure to get unkind ones. They must
labor each week through the college year and
at the end should consider themselves fortu-
nate to have escaped with their lives.
With these things in mind the new board
asks for the assistance and co-operation of
the student body and faculty. If it is felt
that the college weekly may be improved,
take active steps to help us make the change.
This can best be done by coming to the mem-
bers of the board with an honest, frank criti-
cism, rather than by unkind words behind
our backs. The college weekly deserves the
active assistance of the students and faculty
and we respectfully request the same.
The new board plans no radical departures
for the coming year. Perhaps the most
important innovation will be the attempt to
run a college calendar each week. In this,
too, we must have the assistance of the stu-
dents and faculty, especially the managers of
the various college organizations. If they
will kindly inform us of coming events
in their departments, it will make it possible
for a reliable calendar to be printed each
week. The calendar will be in charge of J.
S. Stahl and H. H. Burton, the two new
members of the board, who will endeavor to
see the managers and members of the faculty
each week.
The Orient also hopes to print a Faculty
department more regularly than in the past
In this the co-operation of the faculty is abso-
lutely necessary. All items concerning the
members of the faculty are always of interest
to the students and alumni, and' such a
department should be a distinct help to the
paper.
Contributions from the alumni will always
be welcome. There are few ways in which
the college paper can be made more attractive
than by contributions from outside sources.
Communications are especially solicited. The
opinion of the graduates on college matters
is of interest and importance to the under-
graduate body and the Orient will welcome
the opportunity of bringing about the closest
relationship.
In closing, we simply wish to say that we
ask for the help of the students, alumni and
faculty. Without it we shall be seriously
handicapped. With it we pledge our efforts
to publish the best possible paper.

Sympathy extend heartfelt sympathy
to William J. McDougall,
'06, in the sudden death of his father, which
occurred recently at his home in Rockland.
Mr. McDougall had been a resident of Rock-
land for many years, where he was well known.
He is survived by a wife, one daughter and
three sons.
All friends of the college
Pleasing Gifts were pleased to learn at
the rally last Friday of the
new trophy that is to be given each year to
the class having the largest number of grad-
uates present at the annual commencements.
The gift is both novel and appropriate and
will be an added impetus to the class reunions
each year. The plan is to reckon by the per-
centage of living members in each class, thus
giving all an equal chance in the competition.
The gift is made by a member of the Class of
'73 m behalf of that class. It has not been
decided as yet as to exactly what the trophy
will be.
Another pleasing incident of the rally was
the announcement of the pledging of $5,000
to meet the current expenses of the college.
It has been one of the sources of regret for
some time past that there should be an annual
deficit and for some of the alumni to take
charge of the matter for the current year is
a source of keen pleasure to the friends of the
college. Both this and the trophy are appro-
private and timely gifts and are another evi-
dence of the splendid loyalty of Bowdoin's
graduates.
Beginning with next fall,
Graduate Coaching Bowdoin will inaugurate
the graduate coaching
system in football. For some time past the
matter has been under consideration by our
Athletic Council and the action has been
taken only after mature deliberation. The
system is now in vogue in a number of large
colleges, including Harvard, Yale and Dart-
mouth and is apparently an unqualified suc-
cess. It is believed that there are a number
of advantages in the system that can be
gained in no other way, important among
which will be that with the same head
coach year after year the teams will be
coached in the same methods of playing the
game each season. This is a most desirable
result. Under the old system of a different
coach nearly every year men have been
obliged to adapt themselves to varying
methods of playing with the result that they
never mastered any of them well.
Another gain is that there will be
more coaches. The advantages of this are
evident. It will give the individual player
an attention which he has never before had
and as a result will permit of the rapid devel-
opment of green material. Men who make
good' coaches for certain positions can be
secured from the alumni and work on candi-
dates for that particular position. In the
past it has often been the case that the
coaches secured have been fine men
for training the candidates for particular posi-
tions, but have been useless for others
and the elimination of this defect by
graduate coaching will be no small advantage.
The expenses of the new system will be some-
what heavier, but it is believed that the advan-
tages accruing will more than commensur-
ate for the increased outlay.

GREAT BASEBALL VICTORY
There was great rejoicing on the campus, Wednes- ^
day night, as the result of the victory over Brown
by the score of 7 to 5. The victory was a most
unexpected one, as the team has had little practice
and was weakened by the absence of Greene and
Abbott. A bonfire was indulged in, after which a
procession was formed and calls made on several
members of the faculty. The Orient will give an
account of the game next week.

return in June.
Easter Sunday in Brunswick was far from pleas-
ant, the rain falling in torrents during the greater
part of the forenoon. However, nearly all the stu-
dents attended services either in Brunswick or
neighboring cities.
Joe Drummond, '07, and Holt, '07, attended the
annual banquet of the Alpha Phi Fraternity of
Portland High School last Monday evening. Drum-
mond acted as toast-master of the evening, and
Holt was one of the speakers.
The Bugle Board sat for pictures on Friday of
last week. This is the last picture taken that can
be inserted in the coming issue of the Bugle, and
had been greatly delayed because of the absence of
Upton, who has been out of college.
A delightful informal dance was given by the
Psi Upsilon Fraternity. Wednesday, February 28.
The patronesses were Mrs. William A. Houghton
and Mrs. Allen Johnson. Refreshments were served
and a most pleasant evening passed.
Gerald G. Wilder, assistant in the college library,
who is secretary of the Maine Library Association,
has recently sent out the preliminary announce-
ment of the eleventh annual meeting of the State
Association, which is to be held in Auburn, April 25
and 26.
A good word should be said of the work of the
college band last Friday evening. This is one of
the college organizations which is essential to the
success of many of our college functions and is
especially entitled to the thanks of the students for
its work last Friday.
Subscription papers have been the disturbers of
the peace during the past ten days. With baseball,
track, tennis, debating and rally papers following
each other in rapid succession, most of the fellows
have a worried look. Still, it is the man who has
to do the collecting that is entitled to the greatest
sympathy.
The students were somewhat surprised last Sat-
urday afternoon to hear the vigorous ringing of
the chapel bell. As there was no known cause for
such an occurrence an investigation was started,
and after keys had been secured it was found that
Pike, '07, and Rogers. '06, were confined within,
where they had been inadvertently locked up by
those in charge of the building.

LIBRARY NOTES
Very recently Mr. W. J. Bowdoin, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., has very kindly presented the library with a
valuable set of photographs, which were taken in
Italy, of the newly discovered sketches of Michael
Angelo very soon after their discovery. In the
current issue of "The Independent" these six
photographs are reproduced, and an interesting arti-
cle by Helen Zimmern, a great art critic, accompa-
nies the sketches.
There has also been received a large engraving
entitled "The Most Eminent Living Americans in
1906," which contains the portraits of 264 of our
nation's greatest men. This interesting collection
of portraits is now being presented to each of the
100 great libraries of the world, among which the
Hubbard Library holds no mean place. Among the
men in the engraving Bowdoin is represented by
President Hyde, Senator William P. Frye, '150.
Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, '5,.', and General
Thomas H. Hubbard, '57. This engraving is to be
put on exhibition in the periodical room.
Among the books lately received may be men-
tioned a "Life of Charles Lamb," by E. V. Lucas ;
"Early Western Travels," by R. G. Thwaites ;
" Philippine Islands," by Blair & Robertson; "Seats
of the Mighty," by Gilbert Parker; "The Philis-
tines," by Arlo Bates, '76, and also "The Mystery
of Sleep." by John Bigelow, LL.D.
ART BUILDING NOTES
On Thursday, the 12th, Dr. E. B. Mason ren-
dered the seventh musical recital of the series now
being given in the Bowdoin Gallery. A good audi-
ence was present, and the music was much appre-
ciated. The general subject of the recital was
"The March," the program being as follows :
1. Witches' Dance. — McDowell.
2. March of the Dwarfs. — Moszkowski.
3. Fatinitza March. — Suppe.
4. Marche Militaire. — Schubert-Tausig .
5. Marche Grostesque. — Sinding.
6. Kaisermarsch. — Wagner.
7. Dance Caracteristique. — Tschaikowsky.
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the eighth
recital was given. The general topic dealt with
was "The Symphony," and the program which Dr.
Nason made use of was as follows :
II Trovatore — Fantaisie. — Sidney Smith.
Symphony No. VII. — Beethoven.
(a) Poco Sostenuto — Vivace.
(b) Allegretto.
(c) Presto.
(d) Allegro con brio.
Spring Song. — Henselt.
Polacca de concert. — Tschaikowsky.
The same recital will be repeated next Sunday at
3.30 p.m It was omitted last night on account of
Gen. Chamberlain's lecture in the Congregational
Church.
The ninth recital. "The Waltz," will be given in
the Bowdoin Gallery next Thursday afternoon at
4 o'clock and the same music will be played again
on the following Sunday afternoon at 3.30. The
BOWDOIN ORIENT
omission of the evening recital is due to the holiday
on Thursday, which is Fast Day. This recital will
be the next to the last one, and it seems that the
series will finish much stronger than it started,
which is a source of much gratification to those con-
cerned, and which gives promise of a like series
being given next year.
Last Monday, Mr. George W. Hammond, A.M.,
Bowdoin, 'oo, added several valuable coins to the
collection, with which he has already presented the
Art Building. The coins are as follows : Ten and
25 sous (paper) Assignato ; two lire (paper) from
Italy ; three Moorish copper coins ; one silver piece
of the time of Philippus V. ; one nickel 20 centesimi
from Italy ; and ten other coins from the same
country. But most interesting of all, is a silver
Denarius of the time of Emperor Tiberius of Rome.
This valuable coin is in excellent condition and was
presented to Mr. Hammond by Dr. Long of Con-
stantinople, who is an authority on coins and
vouches for its genuineness.
There are now on exhibition in the Bowdoin gal-
lery a set of nearly 100 photographs illustrating
French Art in Paris. This is an unusually good
collection of photographs, and is loaned by the
Library Art Club for exhibition until Monday,
April 23d.

BASEBALL
BOWDOIN II, EXETER 1
Bowdoin had the satisfaction of paying off
a portion of her old debts in baseball, Satur-
day afternoon, when she defeated the Exeter
team, for the first time in several years. The
score was 11 to 1. As the figures indicate,
the game was a one-sided contest, but this fact
rather added to the pleasure of the game from
the Bowdoin standpoint.
This was the first game that Bowdoin has
played on the Whittier field this season, a fact
which gave the contest an added interest.
The result was all that the enthusiasts could
desire. Bowdoin showed up in splendid form
in every department of the game, and when
the earliness of the season is considered it
may be said that Bowdoin has every reason to
feel pleased with its prospects.
The Exeter team was much weaker than
those of recent years. The fielding was poor
and the men were absolutely unable to con-
nect with Files. However, after the first two
innings the visitors improved considerably
and Bowdoin did not score as easily as in the
earlier part of the contest.
The feature of the game was the splendid
fielding of Bowdoin. This was where the
greatest contrast was seen. Bowdoin played
practically an errorless game, while Exeter
made many errors and some of them were
decidedly costly. If Bowdoin continues to
play the fielding game of Saturday through
the season, she should be able to hold her
opponents down to very small scores, even if
her hitting should not be sufficient to warrant
victories.
Files' work in the box was another feature
of the game. He had the visitors at his mercy
throughout and it was not until the latter part
of the contest that they were able to secure
even a single hit. Judging from Saturday's
game, he is in even better form than last year,
and if he continues the work he has clone thus
far this season, he may be considered one of
the best men among the New England
colleges.
It is hard to make individual mention of
players, for each man of the team played with
the team work and snap that wins games.
Blair and Hodgson did especially good work,
their fielding being of the very best. Pike, on
first, also showed up very strongly. This is
a ne\v position for him and had he played a
far inferior game, it would have been pardon-
able, but instead he played in the form of a
veteran ■ and showed that Bowdoin has not
reason to worry about first.
Bowdoin did not hit hard, but what she did
get counted to excellent advantage. Streuble,
who started in to pitch, was wild and it was
this rather than Bowdoin's ability to hit him
that caused his removal. He was replaced by
White, who pitched a first-class game. Bow-
doin's best hitting was done by Sparks, who
drove out a double .very opportunely in the
second and also secured another good single.
The greater part of Bowdoin's scoring was
done in the first two innings. In the first
Blair and Abbott both secured a base on balls,
and Files was safe on an error at right ;
then Sparks hit for two bases, scoring Blair
and Abbott, and Files. Bower hit, as also did
McDade, which allowed Sparks and Bower to
score.
The scores in the second innings were
secured by errors at first and short, allowing
Abbott and Stanwood to secure their bases,
and a long drive to Files in which he circled
the bases and scored the men before him.
Bowdoin's other runs were secured in the
third, fourth and ninth innings. Exeter
secured her only run in the seventh, when
with two men retired, Cooney and Barry both
hit for two bases, which allowed the former
to score.

BOWDOIN 7, BROWN 5
Bowdoin opened her baseball season with
Brown on Andrews Field at Providence, April
18, and started most auspiciously with a well-
earned victory. The Bowdoin team was
weakened by the absence of two of her regu-
lar players, but the men played together well
and showed up in first-class style in spite of
the short time of practice. Files pitched for
Bowdoin and was in fine form and remarka-
bly steady throughout the game. For Brown,
Adams, Newse, and Tift followed in succes-
Bowdoin went to bat first. Neither scored
in the opening inning, but in Bowdoin's sec-
ond time at the bat Hodgdon got a free pass
to first ; a hit by Lawrence advanced him a
base, after which he stole third, and came in
on a long hit by McDade. Brown did not
score in their half. In the third Stanwood
added another run, scoring on a hit by
Hodgson. Brown in her half scored two
runs. Dennie got first with a base on balls, and
stole second ; Adams got his base on an error
and then both scored on a hit by Jones. In
the first half of the fourth, with two men out,
Blair got a single and was scored by Stan-
wood with a long three-base hit. In Brown's
half Paine started off with a three-base hit,
and after two men were out, got home on a
single by Elrod. In the fifth inning Brown
substituted Newse as pitcher. For the next
four innings the score remained 3 to 3. In the
last half of the eighth, Brown secured two
runs on two singles and an error. Thus the
score stood 5 to 3 when Bowdoin came to the
bat for the last lime. For the last inning Tift
was put in for Brown. Tift gave three bases
on balls in succession. A wild throw to the
plate brought in Pike and Stanwood and tied
the score.
An error put Files on first and then an error
and wild throw by the first base man gave
Bower and Files a chance to add two runs.
The score now stood 7 — 5. Brown failed to
score in her half and thus it remained. The

TUFTS 13, BOWDOIN 2
Bowdoin lost her second game of the season
to Tufts on Tufts Oval, April 19. In the
first three innings Sparks was wild and aided
with a number of bad errors Tufts secured
eleven runs. Bowdoin secured one run in the
fifth and one in the sixth and Tufts got two
more in the eighth. Watson pitched a fine
game for Tufts. Bower made some fine
catches at center field for Bowdoin.

THE VERMONT GAMES
Bowdoin lost her first game with Vermont
last Tuesday by the score of 10 to 6, in a

Alpha Delta Phi £n Thursday, Friday and
Convention Saturday of next week
will occur the seventy-
fourth annual convention of the Alpha
Delta Phi Fraternity at Portland. During
these three days it is expected that
many members of the fraternity will visit
Bowdoin, and on Thursday afternoon the
entire party will come to Brunswick.
Seldom has it been Bowdoin's privilege to
extend its hospitality to so large and distin-
guished a body of guests as will doubtless
come to Brunswick on that date. With this
fact in mind all men in college, individually
and as members of fraternities, should vie
with each other in showing the visitors every
hospitality. Let each student see to it that the
hand of good fellowship is extended to all
who may visit us, and that they go away with
pleasant remembrances of Bowdoin, not only
to their fraternity brothers, whose special
guests they will be, but to every other Bow-
doin man as well.
Good fellowship among college men is com-
ing to be more and more recognized under
the fraternity system. Bowdoin students will
have a rare opportunity to illustrate it next
week. -Let us do so. One of the fraternities
has already voted to keep "open house" dur-
ing the visit of the delegates and doubtless all
others will follow the example. In such
action each fraternity will be doing credit to
itself and to the college.
Bowdoin=Clark
Debate
The Bowdoin debating
team will meet Clark Col-
lege to-night for the first
debate ever held between the two institutions.
Every Bowdoin man hopes to see our team
win ; whether it will or not is another ques-
tion. In any event we may be sure that Clark
will have a good team. The college is one of
the coming institutions of New England and
the work done there is rated with the best of
the colleges. Her debating interests are not
neglected, and there is reason to believe that
her team has been working hard in prepara-
tion for to-night's contest. She also has had
the advantage of faculty coaching to a certain
extent, although the scope of this assistance
has been materially limited by the debating
agreement. Her men, again, will have the
inspiration of an audience made up of fellow-
students.
On the other hand Bowdoin students may
feel well pleased with her representatives.
The team has been carefully selected and since
the arrangement of the debate each member
has been working with untiring zeal. If hard
work will win the contest Bowdoin should
have good prospects. Again the men have
had splendid training. One of the number
was a member of last year's team; another
has taken active part in the college debating
work for two years, and while the third man
is less experienced he has proven that he has
the qualifications of a strong debater. On the
whole it would seem that Bowdoin. has a
strong, well balanced team and one that
should at least make an excellent showing.
Debates are uncertain, however, and the
winner will not be known until the judges
make their announcement, and it would not
be surprising if even they would have a hard
BOWDOIN ORIENT
15
problem to settle. Be this as it may there is
no doubt that there will be a fine contest at
Worcester to-night and Bowdoin has a team
there which every student believes to be a rep-
resentative one.
Bowdoin men need to put
Concerning Track in the hardest possible
work during the next two
weeks in preparation for the annual track
meet. There is no question but the meet will
be the most closely contested of any held since
the formation of the association and it is safe
to say that the outcome will depend on the
second and third points taken. For this
reason it behooves every man in college to get
out and work for some event. In every meet
yet held, men have unexpectedly taken second
and thirds, and in some cases firsts. There
will be such occurrences this year, and upon
these contingencies will depend the outcome
of the meet. It is for the student body to see
that these point winners are Bowdoin men.
Thus far this season the number out at
work has not been as large as the situation
demands. There is some first-class new
material and the older men are also working
faithfully. The second and third men, how-
ever, must be developed. The meet is but two
weeks away, and all should turn out each day.
It is possible that one man with the taking of
an unexpected third may win that meet. Such
a man will be the hero of the day. Let every
man in college work for the coming fortnight
with these things in mind.
„ . . „ Several New England
Taxing College newspapers recently criti.
Property dsed president Eliot
because of his opposition to the attempts that
have been made to bring about the taxation
of college property in Massachusetts. That
there should be an attempt on the part of
any individual to bring about such taxation,
or an endorsement of such an attempt, by the
press, is one of the surprising things of the
day. Were colleges unworthy of assistance,
justice would demand that the privately
endowed college, in its relation with the
State endowed institution, should not be
taxed. That they are worthy of all assist-
ance has long since been recognized; it is
in accordance with this very recognition that
our government, both State and National, has
founded the State College and University ; and
although there are cases where the wisdom of
the taxation of the people to support them
might well be raised, it is nevertheless in
the nature of things that such publicly
endowed institutions should be founded. But
any state or municipality, in the face of this
condition, should undertake to tax any prop-
erty whatever of a privately endowed college
or university, and that such a movement
should find supporters among the press, is a
thing that cannot be easily understood.
If it should ever become necessary for any
community to raise revenue by an attack on
its educational institutions, let it first make an
alteration of policy toward its publicly
endowed institutions. To lay tax on what
benevolent men have endowed for the help of
young men and incidentally the State, is the
last thing a state or municipality should
undertake, whatever the exigency in which it
may be placed.
That such a movement will ever attain, any
prominent importance may be questioned ; that
it has been raised at all is, however, surpris-
INTERSCHOLASTIC BASEBALL LEAGUE
Manager Wilson of the baseball team is
completing arrangements for the Bowdoin
Interschokstic Baseball League. There has
been considerable difficulty in arranging a
league this year, because of unpleasant feel-
ings between some of the teams. A number
of the teams composing the last year's league
refused to enter the league if Portland was
included, and for this reason Portland had to
be dropped out. So far four teams are in the
league. They are Edward Little High School
of Auburn, Lewiston High School, Leavitt
Institute and Gardiner High. It is possible
that Thornton may enter later.
Although the league is small, it should be
a successful one. The difficulties of a large
league are many, as past experiences have
shown, and the management believes a small
league is to be preferred- The four teams rep-
resented are considered among the strongest
High School teams in this section of the
State, and the rivalry will doubtless be keen.
Judging from what is known of the relative
strength of the four teams, there should be
some exciting- contests.

as the reduced rates will extend as far as New
York and Albany, as well as 'to New England
cities and towns.
OFF FOR WORCESTER
The Bowdoin debating team left yesterday
forenoon for Worcester, where it will meet
Clark College this evening. The party con-

Bartlett, late democratic candidate for Gov-
ernor of Massachusetts.
DRAMATIC CLUB
"The Rivals" goes on to-night, for its first
appearance. The management and those tak-

good show is guaranteed. It is hoped that
the whole college will turn out. For the last
two years the college dramatics has been one of
the, events of the year, and it is hoped that the
same will be true this year. The cost of pro-
ducing such a play as "The Rivals" is very
heavy, and on the success of this presentation,
depends the prospect of its being repeated
Ivy week, or in any places outside of Bruns-
I want to have a personal talk with every Bowdoin College

THE BOWDOIN=CLARK DEBATE
Before an audience of over one thousand
people, in the Gymnasium of Clark University
last Friday evening, Bowdoin and Clark con-
tended for forensic honors. The question
was "Resolved, That the United States Gov-
ernment should inaugurate a movement to
bring about reforms in the Congo Free State."
Clark's representatives were L. D. Hadley, G.
H. Mirick and Jacob Asher with W. L.
Osborn as alternate ; Bowdoin's were H. E.
Mitchell, R. H. Hupper and F. J. Redman with
A. W. Snow, alternate. Hon. Charles G.
Washburn acted as presiding officer, and the
judges were Dr. T. N. Carver, Professor of
Economics at Harvard ; Hon. H. J. Parker
and Gen. Charles W. Bartlett of Boston.
The affirmative case was opened by S. H.
Hadley of Clark, who dwelt upon the cruelties
enacted under the Leopold regime in the
Congo. Mr. Mitchell opened the case for
Bowdoin by minimizing the cruelties, showing
that they were confined almost exclusively to
that part of the Congo ruled over by the
Concessionaire companies. He further showed
that Leopold himself was attempting to
reform the existing evils.
Mr. Mirick of Clark showed that it was
possible for the United States to inaugurate
the proposed movement and proved his point
by numerous quotations from International
law.
Mr. Hupper began by analyzing the case as
it stood, and contended that action by the
United States was at this time unfair and
unwarranted.
Mr. Asher reviewed the two points of his
colleagues, and showed how the proposed
action would be expedient for the United
States. He also showed how the United
States was the only world power which could
at present step in and demand a reform of
Congo conditions.
Mr. Redman proved that the principle and
practice of international law was against the
practicability of the proposed action ; also that
the movement was unexpected and contrary
to our traditional foreign policy.
The rebuttal speeches were in the main used
to re-enforce the points previously made.
Bowdoin showed herself superior to Clark in
rebuttal, but the final speech of Mr. Asher was
a masterpiece of persuasion.
The judges were unanimous in giving Bow-
doin the decision. Bowdoin's case showed
careful team work, was well built, and was
constructive from first to last. Clark, on the
contrary, did not have a constructive case, did
not attempt to show any movement that might
successfully be inaugurated, and did not seem
to fit their material into a harmonious whole.
From the standpoint of persuasion, however,
the Clark men evinced a superiority.
Review would be incomplete without ref-
erence to the cordial hospitality of Clark men.
They met our contingent at the train, con-
ducted them to the banquet hall and did every-
thing possible to make the trip one of pleasure.
They were broad enough "to be outvoted with
a smile," and by their friendly and courteous
treatment earned the good will and hearty
respect of our team.
THE APRIL QUILL
To evince such genuine appreciation of the
charm of Miss Austen as does the author of
the opening essay in the April Quill is com-
pletely to disarm criticism. For grasp of the
author's peculiar spirit and power is the heart
of the matter in good literary reviewing, and
the present Quill writer seems to have caught
not only Miss Austen's humor but something
of the very ease and quiet flow of her style.
Miss Austen has been much loved and
much neglected, and this careful, penetrating
study of her work should not only delight the
few who love her deeply, but it should also
appeal to the unfortunate ones who have not
come to feel how completely refreshing are
her little pictures of commonplace people in
the quaint setting of the quiet English country
life of her day.
The writer of this essay on the novels could
give us another pleasing paper on the Society
of Miss Austen's day — the much-talked of
22
BOWDOIN ORIENT
parties, the mild gayeties of the Pump Room,
the interminable walks when things invaria-
bly happened, the tea-drinkings always
attended with prodigious possibilities in the
novels, a fascinating study at close range into
the manner and customs of those heroines
whom our essayists put second to Shakes-
peare's. And well he may ! They certainly
are more spirited than Dickens's, more true
and equable than Thackeray's types, and far
above the dead level of inanity in Howells'
women-characters. How very slight must
seem our few objections, when we say, for
one, that to us the attachment of Captain Ren-
wick and Louisa seems to show Miss Austen's
keen insight into the human heart. We are
somewhat offended by the bringing in of the
long-suffering quotation, "sweetness and
light" (for plain "perspective" or "sense of
proportion"), and "In these days of the
psychological novel" sounds a bit trite, like
some undergraduate formulas for beginnings.
The "Lines to Day'" show a true poetic
sense, and a feeling for natural beauty —
which saves the verses from the usual fate of
a much-used subject. They have, too, sincer-
ity and directness of expression. "Nature
awakes to travel on her whispering
way" is rather an inexplicable line.
"And night is lonely watcher till the morn"
is good and pleasing.
As a piece of well-written narrative "The
Hermit of Black Ledge" is admirable in lan-
guage and composition ; it is beautiful in its
touches of natural description and it is a good
record of life apart from social ties. But
it is practically devoid of incident ; or is it that
although there are incidents they don't hap-
pen vividly or are merely points in the smooth
telling of the tale? Technically its form is
nearly faultless although such a sentence as
the following shows undue haste : "So now he
met the friendly urgings of the storekeeper to
remain, by a disdainful silence."
The description of the succession of images
in the delirious man's brain is a particularly
good bit of realism. In endeavoring, how-
ever, to specify the nameless lack which the
reader feels in this sketch, one is tempted to
resort to a very mean and mercantile criterion
(which may help, withal!) : Would this story,
unrelieved by any greater play of imagination,
sell, and where ? It needs condensation ; bar-
ren exactitude of detail is fatal to the artistic
effect that needs only apt suggestion.
The "Vision of Sir Launcelot" is content
presumably to be a fairly good imitation. The
concept of the vision has significance and
beauty, although the hermit's response adds
little. Certain lines are obtrusively weak, or
have the dangerous exactness that leaves them
correct but unpleasing. The few verses of
natural description, the six closing lines, for
instance, are among the best. A very little of
such imitative work in fields pre-empted by
writers of eminence is advantageous.
Power comes with courageous handling of
original themes.
The "Goose Tracks" is well written, very
spiritedly indeed, but what is it all about?
Either the reviewer is very stupid in inter-
preting or she is not supposed to understand
the cult.
It occurs to her that there might be a
temptation for a skillful and unkind outsider
to parody it.
Ye Postman's contribution is most credita-
ble, exceedingly well written, and with just
enough characterization of the several selec-
tions to convince us that he chose excellently
and to make us think the exchanges worth
reading.
How heartily we agree with the editor's gen-
eral thesis in his ringing cry for finer literary
feeling and greater willingness to follow the
pursuit of "mere literature" !
But hope lies in the very fact that such as
he and not alone the older representatives of
the rich earlier culture, the Charles Eliot Nor-
tons and the William Everetts, can protest
against commercialism and uncompromising
practicalness even in our colleges. It is
ground where feeling can run high and tense,
and our editor's justifiable dissatisfaction must
have led him to speak of an "exasperating"
dearth of articles where "lamentable" would
have been safer; and he would prefer "quiet
period" to "still period," would he not? And
we are hardly "a commercial college on a
magnificent scale," actually or rhetorically,
although the scale of 'values' favors the prac-
tical and the American method of many enter-
prises,— supposedly quick roads to "culture" —
leaves little time to "loaf and invite the soul."

BASEBALL
BowdO'IN, 6 ; Maine, 3.
Bowdoin played the first game in the Maine
Intercollegiate Athletic series with Maine last
Saturday, and won by a score of 6 to 3. The
BOWDOIN ORIENT
23
game was well attended by the student body,
although there were not so many out-of-town
people as will doubtless be on hand later
in the season.
The game was interesting for the most part,
although there was not much doubt as to the
p result after the second inning, when Bowdoin
secured five of her six runs. The home team
secured her other run in the ninth. Maine
secured two of her runs in the fourth and the
last one in the sixth.
Bowdoin showed up strongly, the pitching
of Files being the feature of the game, he
holding Maine down to three scattered hits,
one of which was of the scratch order. Bow-
doin showed rather more fielding at times,
and had it not been for this Maine would
probably have been shut out. There were not
a remarkable number of them, but they were
all costly. They were doubtless due in a
large measure to the earliness of the season.
Among the men who played an especially
strong game were Hodgson, Abbott, McDade,
Bower and Sparks, all of whom did some
effective stick work, while the two former did
some fine fielding. For Maine Frost pitched
a good game outside the second, when three
singles and a double gave Bowdoin her five
runs. Burns also showed up well in fielding
and hitting.
The summary:

The first of the two games with the Uni-

The contest was close until the last of the
fourth when two passes, four hits, and a num-
ber of errors gave Vermont nine runs, which,
added to the one they made in the second, gave
her ten points. Bowdoin secured three in the
third, one in the fourth, and two in the sev-
enth. Sparks pitched for Bowdoin and Camp-
bell for Vermont.

This year's base-ball team
Baseball has already made a greater
reputation than any team
Bowdoin has had for several years. Its work
outside the State has been especially com-
mendable. Only two home games have been
played thus far, and although both of these
have been important games the attendance,
especially of undergraduates, has been by no
means large.
The amount of the subscriptions so far
signed in is very far below what was signed
last year and since the coaching expenses are
'considerably heavier than they were at that
time, it will be practically an impossibility for
the Association to come out square unless the
undergraduates give the team more loyal sup-
port, both in subscriptions and in attendance
at the games. The next home game after
to-morrow will come on the 9th of this month,
when the team plays Colby. There will not
be another home game this month, so that this
is the last opportunity the students will have
to support the team in the matter of attend-
ance for some time. It is, therefore, right-
fully expected that everybody will turn out to
these two games, and that from now on a lit-
tle more cordial support will be given in sub-'
scriptions. It is hardly to the credit of the
Freshman Class, the largest class in college,
that they have given less than any other.
Musical Clubs
Concert
The last Musical Clubs
concert for this year will
be given next Monday
evening in Memorial Hall. The clubs, this
year, have been pronounced the best in a num-
ber of years, and the reception accorded them
on all their trips has been evidence that the
club is a credit to the college. The conclud-
ing concert, as in past years, is given for the
purpose of securing money to pay debts the
clubs have contracted during the season, and
it is hoped that every man in college will
attend and help out the organization. The
concert will be worth listening to, and more
than that the organization is worthy of all
support. The expenses this year have been
unusually heavy, and for this reason alone all
students should attend.
The committee on football
Football Rules rules has at last completed
its work and now the
friends and enemies of the sport , are busy
expressing their opinion of what has been
done. On the whole, the result seems some-
thing of a compromise, and like most com-
promises, it does not fully satisfy either side.
Men like President Eliot of Harvard feel
that sufficient change has not been made.
Again the friends of the old game feel that
too much has been done.
However, the real test will come with the
fall season. While all can theorize as to just
how the changes will affect the game, it will
not be until the teams are lined up and the
practical workings of the new rules are seen,
that the extent of the changes can be judged.
If the game has not been sufficiently
reformed, as President Eliot believes, then
there will be another opportunity for an arbi-
tration board. If it has, all well and good.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
25
In either case, however, it is safe to say that
the committees will never go back to the
game as it has been played in the past
Bowdoin may well be con-
The Debate gratulated on the outcome
of the debate of last Fri-
day night. The result showed a number of
things that are highly satisfactory to friends
of the college. In the first place our team met
a strong team from a representative college ;
for this reason the result was pleasing. But
in a broader sense also the outcome of the
debate was pleasing. It shows that our
team was able to deal with what may be safely
termed the unpopular side of a great question
in a way that is attracting wide attention. The
fact that the Belgian minister in Washington
has asked for the text of the debate is good
evidence of this. Still another pleasing result
of the debate is in its proof that our debating
department is among the strong things of the
college. Our intercollegiate debates may well
be continued, if not increased in their scope.

On Wednesday, April 25, Bowdoin turned
the tables on Vermont and won by a score of
5 to 4. It was a cold, rainy day and quite
unsuitable for baseball. Files pitched for
Bowdoin and played a fine game. Vermont
made one in the first, third, fifth and seventh.
Bowdoin secured one in the second, three in
the eighth, and one in the ninth.

KAPPA SIGMA DINNER
The 1 2th annual dinner of Alpha Rho
Chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity of
Bowdoin was held in Portland last Saturday
evening at the Falmouth Hotel. The dinner
was a happy occasion, there being about 50
members present, made up of undergraduates
and alumni.
The toast-master was Henry P. Boody,
'06, and the following 'toasts were
responded to: "Fraternity Ideals," Edward
A. Duddy; "Alumni Spirit," William T.
Rowe; "Woman," Charles F. Thomas, Jr.;
"Gradatim," Ralph H. Files ; "Always Con-
stant," Harold S. Stetson; "The Strenuous
Life," Fred V. Delavina.
Several representatives from other chapters
were in attendance as guests, among the num-
ber being F.'D. French of Psi Chapter of the
University of Maine, W. C. Campbell of Beta
Kappa Chapter of the New Hampshire State
College, and G. H. Stickney of Lynn, Mass.
INTERSCHOLASTIC BANNER
At the meeting of the Aroostook Club held

was voted to offer another banner this year,
for the championship of the Aroostook Pre-
paratory Schools. The banner offered this
time will be awarded to the team that first
wins the championship for three years. This
does not mean three consecutive years, but
merely the team which shall have first won
three championships. The champions for
each year will hold the banner until some
school obtains permanent possession of it. Last
year the club gave a banner for that year only,
which was won by Caribou High.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
It was noticed last Saturday that the new large
flag was flown over Memorial Hall ; it added much
to the appearance of the campus and it is hoped
that it will be in position more frequently than dur-
ing the winter months.
The Orient is unable to give an account of the
Zeta Psi reception and dance until next week, owing
to the date of going to press. The committee in
charge was composed of Hatch, '06; Hall, '06;
Erskine, '07; Kilborn, '08; and Kane, '09.,
Rev. Herbert A. Jump and Mrs. Byron Stevens
have been appointed by Governor Cobb as two of
the delegates from Maine to the 33d annual session
of the National Conference of Charities and Cor-
rections, which is to be held in Philadelphia May
9-16.
The Musical Clubs returned from their trip to
Thomaston and Camden on Thursday of last week.
Although the clubs were handicapped by the
absence of some of the best talent, they neverthe-
less gave some satisfactory concerts and also
enjoyed a good time.
The national convention of the Psi Upsilon Fra-
ternity is being held with Trinity College at Hart-
ford. Conn., this week. The representatives from
Bowdoin Chapter are Robie R. Stevens, '06 ; James
W. Sewall, Jr., '06; and Paul D. Blanchard, '07.
They left for Hartford the first of the week.
"King Pepper" was presented in Gardiner last
Monday evening, and in Augusta on Wednesday
evening; it is understood that it will also be pre-
sented elsewhere in the State. Beside Mikelsky, Cox
and the Gumbel brothers, mentioned in last week's
Orient, Bowdoin was represented by Greene, 'oS.
Although Bates declined Bowdoin's challenge for
a debate, this year, yet Bowdoin men figured prom-
inently in the Bates-University of Vermont debate
in Lewiston's City Hall, April 25, which was won
by Bates. The debate was presided over by Judge
Franklin M. Drew, Bowdoin, '58; the prayer was
offered by Rev. Percival F. Marston, Bowdoin, '88,
and two of the three judges were Hon. O. D. Baker,
Bowdoin, '68. and Chief Justice Wiswell, Bowdoin,
'73-
The following concerning Leo Hafford from the
Fall River Globe, will be interesting reading for
Bowdoin students from more standpoints than one :
"Hafford is a tall young man with a boyish face,
yellow-jaundice hair and freckles, writes Charley
Power in the Pittsburg Dispatch. It is not
recorded that he ever won any medals at a beauty
contest, although while pitching for Bowdoin Col-
lege he was popular with the ladies who were wont
to flock to the college campus and there watch the
giddy boys doing things athletic. But Hafford can
pitch. He has a side-arm delivery that is effective,
and the best the Pirates could do in nine spavined
innings was five hits — two doubles and three singles
— and they were lucky to escape being smeared
with a coat of kalsomine."
COLLEGE BOOK STORE SOLD
It is stated that Mr. Stevens has sold the
College book store and that the new proprie-
tor is Frank Reynolds of Brunswick.
HISTORY OF CLASS OF '96
The secretary of the Class of '96, John
Clair Minot of Augusta, has just issued the
decennial record of the class. It is a neat lit-
tle volume of 135 pages, bound in the class
colors of crimson and silver gray, and con-
tains both the detailed story of the four years
as undergraduates and individual sketches of
the members of the class for the ten years
since leaving college. The class had 58 men
when it entered and 47 at graduation. Only
one member has died, J. H. Libby, a young
Fort Fairfield lawyer who died in 1903.
There are only 16 of the class now in Maine,
and the rest are scattered over the world as
follows : Six in Massachusetts, five in New
York, three in Chicago, three in Connecticut,
two in New Hampshire and one each in Cali-
fornia, District of Columbia, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Ten-
nessee, China, New Zealand and the Philip-
pines. The class has 11 lawyers, eight teach-
ers, seven physicians, three bankers, four mer-
chants, three newspaper men, two clergymen,
one insurance man, one publisher, one mill
superintendent, one government scientist, etc.
Thirty-one of the 46 are married and they
have 28 living children, 13 boys and 15 girls.
The class has had a dinner and reunion at
each commencement since graduation with an
attendance varying from a dozen to 20. This
year, being the 10th anniversary of gradua-
tion, unusual efforts will be made to secure a
large attendance and over 30 have written
the secretary that they will be present.

MASSACHUSETTS CLUB
Last Saturday evening the Massachusetts Club
held a very successful and pleasant meeting at the
Delta Kappa Epsilon house. There were about
eighteen members at the meeting, and President
Hyde gave a very interesting talk on how the Mas-
sachusetts Club could best serve its purpose, which
is to induce more Massachusetts men to come to
Bowdoin. Incidentally Preident Hyde spoke of
some of the special features of Bowdoin, among
which he said that Bowdoin had nothing in her cat-
alogue which she did not have in fact, that Bowdoin
had a wide-awake faculty, not burdened with
inferior professors; that at Bowdoin the rich man
and the poor man were on absolutely an equal foot-
ing, and that Bowdoin is just the size to be of most
benefit to its students.
On the suggestion of President Hyde, a motion
was put and carried, that a short letter be sent to
every Bowdoin alumnus in Eastern Massachusetts,
stating the purpose of the Massachusetts Club at
Bowdoin, urging the alumni to co-operate with its
members, and stating that the members will do all
in their power to send any desired information
about the college, or to help to entertain in any way
any sub-Freshmen from Massachusetts.
"THE RIVALS"
Last Friday night the Dramatic Club staged "The
Rivals" with more success than the club has ever
had at its first performances. The audience did not
fill the hall, but it amply sufficed to pay the club's
expenses, and gave the club a slight surplus which
may be used to pay several small debts left by last
year's management. The real success of the club
was in the acting. From start to finish everything
went along finely, and each member of the cast car-
ried out his part very successfully. The ladies on
the cast were better made up, and were more tak-
ing than ever. "Jim" Bartlett was even better than
last year, and did the leading lady's part of "Mrs.
Malaprop," fully as well as any girl could have
ckpne. The heroine, "Lydia," though she carried
out her part well, and very much took the eye 0/
"Capt. Absolute" and "Sir Anthony," was really sur-
passed in beauty by her younger dark-haired friend,
"Julia," and her pretty maid, "Lucy,"' also came in
for her share of the kisses. "Bob" Acres, who took
the leading man's part, did excellently, and certainly
had the house with "him when he played his duel
scene. The other rival was Captain Aboslute who
also portrayed his character very well indeed, play-
ing his part as became an officer, and an "obedient
son."
The gouty "Sir Anthony" was also much appre-
ciated, and Fred Piper certainly kept up his repu-
tation as an actor when it came to the scene, where
he swore that he would "never call his son Jack
again."
Marsh, '09. did very well indeed with "Sir Lucius
O'Trigger," and spoke a good brogue throughout the
I want to have a personal talk with every Bowdoin College
11106 man who will be in the market for a good position in
business or technical work on or after July 1st.
If you will call and see me at the Brunswick House at any
time to suit your convenience from May 4th to 5th, inclusive
(afternoon or evening) I can tell you frankly just what the
prospects are of securing the sort of position you want and are
fitted to fill. I can give you full information concerning a great
many of the best opportunities for young college men in all
lines of work in the United States and several foreign countries.
It will pay you, I feel sure, to see me before deciding
definitely what to do alter graduation.

play. The other two parts, "David" and "Tag," were
played by Fox, '06, and Atwood, '09, who played
them to perfection.
Much credit is due to the coach, Mr. H. A. Huse,
Jr., who has given the club a great deal of his time,
and to Fred Piper, who managed the whole pro-
duction. Piper has just given notice to the Orient,
that he will soon go around among the students to
get as many pledges as possible from those who
would attend the play if repeated on the night
before Ivy. When "The Magistrate" was'produced
in June, last year, it was presented with even
greater success than the first time, and if the play
is given again this year on the night before Ivy, it
will probably become a custom to produce it then,
the earlier production being in Bath or some other
place than Brunswick.

ALPHA DELTA PHI CONVENTION
The 74th annual convention of the Alpha
Delta Phi Fraternity was held at Portland on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week,
and proved itself a grand success in every
way. The convention was held under the aus-
pices of the Bowdoin Chapter and those in
charge of the arrangements, as well as all
members of the fraternity, succeeded in mak-
ing the convention an unqualified success.
Delegates were present from all the leading
colleges and universities of the country, and
it is estimated that the attendance was fully
as large as that at the conventions held in
more central parts of the country. Over 200-
delegates were on hand at the opening session.
The convention began Wednesday evening
with an informal smoker at the Falmouth, but
the real opening came with the first business
meeting of Thursday morning. This meeting
was held at the same hotel and lasted until
12.30, when lunch was served and arrange-
ments made for the visit to Bowdoin.
The special train reached Brunswick early
in the afternoon and for two hours the dele-
gates visited the college and the various fra-
ternities, all of whom kept "open house" dur-
ing the visit. The trip was a most delightful
one and all expressed themselves as highly
pleased with Bowdoin. The party returned
to Portland at 4.30 o'clock.
Thursday evening came the public literary
exercises in Kotzschmar Hall. The chief
feature of the evening was the oration by
Hamilton W. Mabie, LL.D., editor of the
Outlook, whose subject was "The Heart of
the College." The address was one of the
most notable made in Portland in a long time
and was listened to by a large gathering of
people The ode was given by Prof. Arlo
Bates of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology.
Immediately after the public exercises the
convention ball was held at the Falmouth, the
patronesses for the occasion being Mrs. John
Marshall Brown of Portland, Mrs. John F.
Thompson of Portland, Mrs. Franklin C.
Robinson of Brunswick, Mrs. Charles F.
Libby of Portland, and Mrs. Henry L. Bab-
cock of Boston.
The ball and reception committee consisted
of Gen. John Marshall Brown of Portland,
Hon. Charles F. Libby of Portland, Dr. Fred-
erick H. Gerrish of Portland, Dr. John F.
Thompson of Portland, Rt. Rev. Bishop Cod-
man of Portland, Philip F. Chapman, '06, of
Portland, James A. Bartlett, '06, of Richmond,
Neal Allen, '07, of Portland, Frank Thomas,
09, of Brewer, Irving Rich, '09, of Portland,
and Roger Thaxter, '09, of Portland.
Business occupied the attention of the con-
vention, Friday, until 3.30 p.m., except for
the lunch hour. At that time the visitors and
local members of the society went to Custom
House Wharf where the steamer Merrycon-
eag of the Casco Bay Steamboat Company
was boarded and a sail of several hours' dura-
tion was being enjoyed about Casco Bay, the
weather being excellent for the season of the
year.
One of the most brilliant affairs of its kind
that has taken place in years was observed at
the Falmouth Hotel, Friday evening, when
the annual banquet of the fraternity was
given. To the strains of the "Alpha Delta
Phi March," the members entered the hall,
after which prayer was offered by the Rev.
John Gregson of Rochester, N. H. Collin
Armstrong of New York presided in the
absence of Mr. Mabie. The following toasts
were given : "The Fraternity," Gen. Joshua
L. Chamberlain; "The Fraternity and the
Student Opinion," Prof. Frederick' J. E.
Woodbridge; "The Fraternity in College and
After," Prof. Henry L. Chapman ; "The Fra-
ternity and Christianity," the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Robert Codman ; "The College Man in Prac-
tical Life, "the Hon. Charles F. Libby; "Cui
Bono," Dr. Daniel Robinson. Dr. David M.
Beach of Bangor read an original ode.
The banquet committee consisted of H. B.
Chandler, '07, G. E. Tucker, '05, and F. E.
R. Piper, '06.
The convention closed, Saturday morning,
with a brief business session, after which the
greater part of the delegates left for the
various homes, after one of the most success-
32

fill conventions ever held by the fraternity.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year at the Friday business session :
President — Talcott Williams, Philadelphia,
Pa., Editor Philadelphia Press.
Vice-President — Collin Armstrong, New
York.
Secretary — Robert A. Gunn, New York.
v BASEBALL
Bowdoix, 2 ; Bates, 3.
Bowdoin lost its first game with Bates, last
Saturday, by a score of 3 to 2 in an exciting
1 1 -inning contest. The game was delayed
somewhat at the opening because of a steady
downpour of rain, and the grounds during the
earlier part were very clamp. This contrib-
uted to make the game less cleanly played than
otherwise would have been the case.
The game was a pitchers' battle in which
both men did splendid work. For Bowdoin,
Files pitched one of the best games seen on
Whittier Field for a long time, while Johnson
did excellent work for Bates. In fielding,
however, Bowdoin did inferior work, and this
inferiority was what gave the honors to Bates
after Bowdoin had apparently won the game.
Had any one of the last few errors not been .
made, the game would have been Bowdoin's.
The best work for Bowdoin, in addition to
the splendid work of Files, was done by
McDade, who had five put-outs to his credit,
as well as securing one of Bowdoin's hits and
scores. The work of Bowdoin's infield was
brilliant a portion of the time and at others
was very erratic. This doubtless was due in
a large measure to the condition of the field,
and for that reason is partially excusable. It
is, however, a thing in which the team is
showing up surprisingly weak this year.
Bowdoin secured her first run in the sixth,
when a base on balls and two sacrifices
brought in Blair. In the eighth came
another, when a single by McDade, a base on
balls, a man hit by a pitched ball and a drive
to the outfield, brought in Bowdoin's remain-
ing run. Bates secured her first run in the
eighth by a base on balls, a passed ball and an
error. She tied the score in the ninth on an
error at second and a two-base hit. In the
eleventh the game was won by a hit and two
errors with no one out. The summary :
Bowdoin.

The Orient cannot refrain
Misrepresentations from speaking of the
embarrassing incidents of
last Friday's chapel exercises. For a part of
it no one was to blame ; for another part a few
fellows were responsible. We refer to the
"wooding." To those who could see the
expression on the faces of the visitors it was
no hard task to read their feelings of keen
embarrassment when the demonstration took
place ; and throughout the exercises it was evi-
dent that they felt that the situation was any-
thing but what it should have been — that of a
pleasant visit to the chapel exercises. It is
probable that a portion of the men began
"wooding" for the baseball men ; others, the
Orient knows for a fact, did so from motives
which we will not attempt to name. As it
happened, the guests were the principal,
teachers and students of one of Maine's larger
preparatory schools, and there is every
reason to believe that their remembrance of
Bowdoin will be both unpleasant and lasting.
To be a gentleman is always expected of a
college man ; those few who failed to be such
Friday morning were guilty of a thoughtless-
ness of which few college men would care
to be guilty. And more than this, there is a
practical aspect to such incidents. Those
who come to us as visitors usually have
friends who are to go to college, some have
children and all have friends. Those of last
Friday, however, as teachers and educators,
are placed in a position of unusual influence
in this connection. After their visit is there
any doubt as to their position in regard to one
Maine college? A few men misrepresented
the college in a way that others will have to
work hard and long to offset.
The same thing applies to all misconduct
of college students. A few men who are
thoughtless, or something worse, are fre-
quently misrepresenting the college. This is
particularly true of conduct about the railroad
station. As a concrete illustration, the fol-
lowing incident may be mentioned. The
editor of a certain Maine newspaper a num-
ber of years ago passed through Brunswick
and saw some ungentlemanly conduct on the
part of some students, and from that
time on, in his conversation and through the
columns of his newspaper, he has been careful
to show no favors to Bowdoin. It was a case
where one or two men misrepresented their
college in a way that has ever since continued
to react against Bowdoin.
Another illustration of the same thing came
under the observation of the Orient. In a
certain Maine preparatory school last June
two bright men graduated. Both are of
the Phi Beta Kappa type and men with bright
futures before them. When approached on
the subject of college it was found that they
could not be induced to come to Bowdoin
because of one of these railroad station inci-
dents. They had no affiliations for other col-
leges in Maine. They wished to go to a first-
class college, but despite all some loyal Bow-
doin men could do, they went out of the State.
Here again some fellows who would probably
be very indignant if accused of disloyalty to
the college, have inflicted a real and lasting
injury to its interests.
Thousands of people pass through Bruns-
wick during the vear, and with the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
35
majority of them what they see at the railroad
station is their only real impression of the col-
lege. The conduct of men may not be repre-
sentative, even of the individual himself, but
the effect is just as harmful. Can it be said
that the man who misrepresents Bowdoin to
these people is loyal to his college? The
answer would seem to be in the negative.
There is a greater and more influential college
loyalty than that displayed on the baseball
and football field.
The Orient does not wish to be understood
as asserting that other colleges do not have to
contend with these things, but such incidents
as that of Friday impresses the necessity of
guarding- against them.
From week to week the
Crowded Columns Orient is obliged to omit
matter, the importance of
which would seem to warrant its appearance
in the college weekly, but which lack of space
prevents. Were it possible to secure suffi-
cient advertisements to permit additional
pages during the spring term this could be
done ; the money available, however, will not
warrant such a step, and the Orient asks that
all bear with it for the non-appearance or
delay of matter that at first sight would seem
ought to appear in its columns.
All colleges know what it
Singing by Proxy is to take exercise by
proxy, to stretch at ease in
the grandstand while a few of their fellows
have the struggle and the fun, and develop
the sound and vigorous frame in the field
below. Bowdoin has gone a step beyond
that. She does her singing by proxy. Her
students line the chapel benches, rows of
silent mouths, while up in the choir loft a few
representatives of those silent mouths make
the music for the remainder. One of the
pleasantest memories that a visitor carries
away from a college is that stir and sweep
of many voices singing together. No mem-
ories of that sort can be borne away from our
chapel now. We do not sing and yet we can
sing. One almost never hears a song floating
across the campus. Rare and welcome are
those exceptions made by the Glee Club com-
ing away from a rehearsal, and especially by
the several fraternities on the night of initia-
tion. If the fraternities can do it once why
can they not do it many times? If the frater-
nities find voice for themselves why must the
college sit in tuneless silence?
There seems to be no reason why it should
not be possible, pleasant and profitable to the
college to remedy this state of things by
invoking a little class rivalry in the interest of
all the classes. As the warm days of late
spring and early summer come on it would
seem as though one of the pleasantest things
that a class as a body could do would be to
gather on the steps of the Art Building for
some singing. To stimulate rivalry and so
increase the activity perhaps some of the
classes already graduated, say the present
decennial class, might find it worth while to
give a prize to the winning class, — a prize
that should take into account both excellence
in singing and the excellence of the songs,
if they were original. And here would be
just the place and just the stimulating condi-
tions to bring forward new Bowdoin songs.
The college has too few of these.
Then the social side of such an occasion
would be highly enjoyable. All the college
would gather in a pleasantly informal way
for an event in which all would be both spec-
tators and actors. Friends from the town
would join the number. Sub-Freshmen
might stray in.
There is, of course, no reason why one
night should begin and end the pleasure of all
this. The preliminary practicing, except per-
haps in its earliest stages, might occur out of
doors ; and so the college and its friends get
into the way of spending the early hour of the
mild summer evenings in June on the campus.
Would not the memories of such evenings
linger long with us after the last festivity of
Commencement had flickered out?

ing H. P. Boody, '06, will give his address before
the Bates Y. M. C. A.
COMMENCEMENT RATES
Dr. Burnett 'has completed arrangements
whereby reduced rates to Bowdoin's Com-
mencement have been secured over the three
passenger associations of the eastern states,
instead of merely the New England, as has
been previously announced. The new arrange-
ment secures rates over the lines of the Trunk
Association, the Central Association and the
New England Association, and embraces
places east of St. Louis. One of the great
advantages of the arrangements is that 100
tickets over all three of the associations,
instead of one, is all that will be required to
secure the reduced rates. This arrangement
will be an added impetus for the alumni who
wash to attend Commencement and will help
to swell the various classes in the competition
for the trophy that is to be offered for the
largest attendance.
TENNIS TRIALS
The tennis trials for the selection of the team
that will represent Bowdoin in the Maine tourna-
ment, was held last Tuesday, and resulted in the
choice of Tobey, '06. and Paine, '06, in the singles ;
and Tobey, '06, Paine, '06, Johnson, '06, and Roberts,
'07, in the doubles. Paine and Tobey did not enter
the tournament, as the latter is very busy this week
with track and there is no doubt of their ability.
The results of the tournament were as follows :
Ham, '08, and Briggs, '07, defeated W. Drummond,
'07. and J. Drummond, '07. Roberts, '07, and John-
son, '06, defeated McMichael, '07, and Haines, '07.
Linneli, '07, and Hughes, '09, defeated Robinson, '08,
and Timberlake, '09. Clarke, '06, and Lombard, '09.
defeated J. Woodruff, '06, and Soule, '06.
In the semi-finals Roberts, '07, and Johnson, '06,
defeated Briggs, '07, and Ham, '08. .Linneli, '07.
and Hughes, '09, defeated Clark, '06, and Lombard,
'09.
In the final Roberts, '07, and Johnson, '06, defeated
Linneli, '07, and Hughes. '09. Linneli and Hughes
are entered as substitutes in both singles and
doubles.
The tournament to select the team which Bow-
doin will enter against Vermont was to have been
played yesterday.
The Maine Tournament will open at Colby Mon-
day forenoon.
DAVID SEWALL PREMIUM
The faculty have recently decided to award the
sum of ten dollars known as the David Sewall
Premium, to the member of the Freshman Class
who shall hand in the best translation of an
assigned passage from Latin. Greek, German, or
French. The translation must be given to Profes-
sor Mitchell on or before May 14, and the assigned
passages are given below. The Sewall Premium
has for several years been awarded "to members
BOWDOIN ORIENT
39
of the Sophomore Class for excellence in Oratory
at their annual Prize Declamation," but it is
changed this year owing to the receipt of the Alex-
ander Prize in oratory, which will be open to com-
petition among members of the three lower classes.
The David Sewall Premium has a long history
back of it, which it may be of interest to cite here.
As early as November 4, 1795 (the fall after the
incorporation of the college) a letter from Judge
David Sewall was read at a meeting of the Boards.
This letter enclosed ten dollars, and from a later
letter, dated October 9, 1821 (and still preserved in
the Treasurer's office) we learn that it was the
Judge's purpose to establish an annual prize of ten
dollars to be awarded to some undergraduate for
excellence in oratory or as the college authorities
should otherwise see fit. For this purpose Judge
Sewall had at some time given the college a fund,
the interest on which would furnish the prize
money. In some way, however, this sum later dis-
appeared from the Treasurer's books, and it was
not until 1899 that the attention of the Boards was
called to the omission. In 1899, accordingly, it was
voted to withdraw from the general fund a suf-
ficient amount to replace that lost, and it is with
the interest on this money that the "David Sewall
Premium" will be awarded next June.
Judge Sewall himself was a man of some note.
He received the degree of A.B. from Harvard in
1755. later his Alma Mater gave him the degree of
A.M., in 1812 Bowdoin presented him with an
LL:D., and he served on our Board of Overseers
from 1794-1815. He held at one time the position
of Judge of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
and he also served as United States District Judge
of Maine.
The assigned passages for translation this spring
are as follows :
Latin : Letter 51, "A Faithful Friend," in Port-
land's "Selections from thfe Correspondence of
Cicero."
Greek: Odyssey, Book IV. Lines 219-331.
German : Scheffel's "Ekkehard," Vbrwort,
through the words "aus dem Gebiet unserer deut-
schen Vergangenheit."
French: Charles Rollin's "De l'Utilite de l'His-
toire found in "La France Litteraire" (p. 405) by
Herrig et Burguy.
The French and German books are reserved in
the Library.

THE TRACK MEET
The twelfth annual track meet of the four
Maine colleges was won by the University of
Maine on Garcelon Field, last Saturday, with
a score of 51 points, to 39 for Bowdoin, 22 for
, Bates and 14 for Colby. This is the second
rtime that Bowdoin has lost the meet in the
twelve years of track athletics in the State.
While the outcome was something of a dis-
appointment, it was not altogether a surprise.
It had been felt from the first that the loss
Bowdoin sustained in the graduation of Capt.
Denning and Everett was one that could not
be easily replaced and that the new material
must come largely from the Freshman Class.
That there was considerable new material
there was no doubt, but it could not be
sufficiently developed to secure many points
was greatly feared, and the outcome of the
meet justified the fear.
There was a large attendance of college
men and others. The entire Bowdoin student
body turned out en masse, as did also the stu-
dents from University of Maine, and Bates,
together with a number from Colby. The
day was pleasant, although somewhat cold,
and with the presence of two bands, the occa-
sion was one of interest and enthusiasm.
But one record was broken at the meet.
Bosworth of Bates, captured the two-mile race
and succeeded in taking several seconds from
the State record. Shorey for Bowdoin fought
hard and had not his opponent taken such a
long lead in the early part of the race, it is safe
to say the contest at the finish would have
been very close indeed. Capt. Tobey equalled
the State record in the 120-yard hurdles in a
great finish.
Several of the events were hotly contested,
but there was not much doubt as to the out-
come of the meet after the early part of the
day, as the trials showed that Maine had a
fine team. Bowdoin fought hard, but one or
two events in which somefhope was entertained,
went to Maine, and after this there was no
doubt as to the result.
In the 100-yard dash, Doherty and Hanson
of Bowdoin, and Porter and Harlow of Maine
were qualified in the trials. In the final heat
Porter was the winner, Doherty second and
Hanson third. The race was a very interest-
ing contest for second and third places,
Doherty, Hanson and Harlow being very
closely bunched at the finish.
In the quarter St. Onge of Maine won out
with Wyman second and Kimball of Bowdoin,
third. This race was also an interesting con-
test and was closely contested from the first.
Kimball ran a fine race, leading a great por-
tion of the distance, but was unable to retain
his position in the stretch.
In the mile Robinson and Shorey were \
again the winners for Bowdoin. In the hur-
dles, Capt. Tobey of Bowdoin again won two
first in splendid form.
In the 22Q-yard dash Porter of Maine was
the winner, while Doherty and Wyman had a
great contest for second place, Doherty finally
winning out.
In the high jump, Meserve of Maine finally
won out, with Pennell of Bowdoin and Hig-
gins of Maine, tied for second place. Atwood
and Thaxter jumped well but were unable to
keep up. In the broad jump Currier of Maine
won over Atwood of Bowdoin, while St.
Onge of Maine, took third.
In the pole vault Bates took first, to the sur-
prise of all. This event had been conceded
to Rogers of Maine, but Wiggin led him at
the close. Skolfield of Bowdoin took third in
a plucky fight.
Nearly all the weight events went to Bates
and Colby. Maine took three thirds, but the
remaining points went to the other two col-
leges.

The Orient would sug-
Track Team "B's" gest to the consideration
of the Athletic Council
the matter of granting "B's" to members of
the track team that take third place in the
annual State meets. It is certainly true that
the time has come in Maine College athletics
when to take third place deserves its reward.
In years past, when Bowdoin took nearly all
the points in the meets, it was perfectly cor-
rect that only the first and second men should
be given their letter. Now, however, the sit-
uation is vastly different. The three other
colleges, as shown by the recent meet, are
more and more inclined to enter into track
activities, and to gain a third, in view of this
situation, is something that would seem to
entitle any man to a "B."
The track man receives the smallest
amount of pleasure of any athlete. Few of
them get more than one trip a year, and that a
short one. He is obliged to train more than
any other athlete. And more than that, his
contest is not of the pleasurable kind of the
baseball or football player. His game is one
of nervous strain and tension almost as much
as ability in the sport. He fights alone and
the matter of "nerve" is a big factor. In most
cases it is also the hardest kind of work.
Who struggles more for his college than the
man in the mile or two-mile run or even the
dashes ? The man who secures a point in
them under present conditions certainly
deserves recognition.
Track is becoming of more and more inter-
est in the college world, and for this, as well
as for many other reasons, it would seem that
the man who secures even one point should
be remembered.
The loss of the track meet
The Track Meet was something of a dis-
appointment to many who
had cherished hopes of a victorious team. To
those familiar with the situation, however, the
outcome was no great surprise. With the
losses Bowdoin sustained by graduation last
June, and with the men our opponent had been
developing for the past two years, the result
could not have been different. Bowdoin can-
not expect to win every meet without a break,
and we may well feel proud of our past record,
and feel sure that next year our team will be
stronger than was that of this year.
One of the nuisances
Concerning Dogs about the college at the
present time is the pres-
ence of dogs. There are several of these four-
legged students who seem determined on
taking a college course whether they are
properly admitted or not. Hardly a day
goes by but what one or more of them
appears in chapel or class-room and often
they prove themselves a disturbing element in
a way that is neither entertaining nor interest-
ing. It is hard to suggest a remedy for this
nuisance other than a shotgun, and even that
might not be proper in the case of dogs
belonging to people who really try to care for
their pets.
The fact is that in many instances the dogs
or their owners are not to blame. Fellows
about college take pleasure in speaking to the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
45
dogs and encourage them to enter class.
The result is, the canine thinks himself highly
popular in college and immediately resolves to
take a course at Bowdoin. Was the college
intended to be a training school for canines,
this attitude would be highly commendable.
As it is, the wisest thing in this connection is
to cease treating the dogs with all the favors
of a sub-Freshman. Dogs are agreeable com-
pany in their place, but that is certainly not in
chapel or the class room, and students should
bear this in mind.
_ . Despite the outcome of the
ennis track meet and the some-
Charap.onship what gloomy baseball
prospects, Bowdoin can find some consolation
in the outcome of the tennis meet at Water-
ville, in which our team scored a signal vic-
tory. The work of the men was highly com-
mendable and the Orient congratulates both
the members of the team and the college.
The victory gives Bowdoin permanent pos-
session of the cup for singles, which it obtains
as a result of having won the championship
for three successive years. The cup for
doubles will be held temporarily at least, Colby
having had that honor in the past two years.
Interscholastic
Meet
The attention of the stu-
dents should be called to
the annual Interscholastic
Meet, which will take place on the Whittier
Field one week from to-morrow. As in the
past, this will be the day of all the year for
the entertainment of preparatory school men,
and the students should make preparations to
give the visitors a good time on the occasion
of their visit.
It is not known at present just how many
schools will be represented. Five will
certainly be on hand, and it is probable that
there may be others. Those who are certain
to send teams are Bar Harbor, Portland,
Westbrook Seminary, Coburn Classical Insti-
tute, and Hebron Academy. It is also possi-
ble that Kent's Hill and Brunswick High will
be represented.

a vacant court about college on pleasant after-
noons.
SOPHOMORE THEMES

$23,000 FOR BOWDOIN
By the filing of the will of the late Dr.
Charles M. Cumston, last week, it was shown,
that he had remembered his Alma Mater with
a gift of $23,000. Dr. Cumston was one
of Bowdoin's most loyal alumni. It is under-
stood that the money is to be used for scholar-
ships for needy students.
PLEASING REMEMBRANCE
The College Treasurer has just received a
check for $400, which is the second annual
contribution by the Class of 1894, to the
income of the College. This is to represent
the interest at 4 per cent, on $10,000, and is
pledged for five years.
The Class of '94 sets a good example well
worthy of imitation.
FOR THE NEW ENGLAND MEET
The team that will represent Bowdoin in
the New England meet left on the 8 o'clock
train yesterday morning, for Brookline, Mass.,
where the meet will be held on the Tech.
grounds for the first time.
But five men were taken, because of the
small amount of money at the disposal of the
manager. They were Capt. Toby, Dorothy,
Robinson, Shorey, and Kimball.

ART BUILDING NOTES
Thursday, April 26, at 4 o'clock, although
it was a holiday, a number of people attended
the ninth musical recital. The general topic
was "The Waltz," and the very enjoyable pro-
gram arranged by Dr. Mason was as follows :
1. Symphonie Pathetique Finale. — Tschai-
kowski.
2. Valse de Concert. — Wieniawski.
3. Valse de Juliette. — Gounod-Raff.
4. Valse Poetique. — Gdttschalk.
5. Valse Mignonne. — Moszkowski.
6. Valse de Concert. — Wieniawski.
7. S. Puritani, Fantaisie. — Sidney Smith.
This recital was not repeated in the evening,
because many of the students were away, but
was given again on Sunday afternoon at 3.30.
A circular has recently been received at the
Art Building, containing an outline of the
work of an Art School which is to be carried
on at Boothbay Harbor, from July 9 to August
11. Classes in painting, dancing, and applied
desien will be held under the instruction of
BOWDOIN ORIENT
49
Mr. Henneman, a Belgian artist, Mr. A. G.
Randall, Dartmouth, '92, and Mrs. Randall,
Pratt Institute, 1900. Further information
can be obtained by consulting the circular, or
addressing Mr. Randall at Fitchburg, Mass.
On Thursday, May third, Dr. Mason gave
the tenth and fast of the series of musicals to
be given in the Art Building. The general
topic of the musical was the concert, and the
excellent program arranged and played by Dr.
Mason was as follows :
1. Danse Creole. — Chaminade.
2. Concerto in A Minor. — Grieg.
(a) Allegro, molto moderato.
(b) Adagio.
(c) Allegro Marcato.
3. Concerto in C Minor. — Beethoven.
Allegro con Brio.
4. Grande Valse. — Chopin.
Many thanks are due to Dr. Mason for so
kindly arranging for, and playing these
recitals in the absence of Prof. Hutchins, who
started what may now be called the custom of
having such a series of musicals every year.
The college also is indebted to the kindness
of Messrs. Cressey and Allen for the loan of
the excellent Ivers and Pond Princess Grand
Piano, and Cecilian Piano-Player that have
been used in the Art Building this winter.
The Art Building has recently received thtee
samples of Loess from the cave-dwellers'
houses in Houan, and one sample of brick and
mortar taken from the great wall of China at
Shan-hai-kuan. These specimens are the
Sfifts of Mr. Charles F. Gammon of Tien
Tsin, who used to reside in Portland, Maine,
and who has already presented the Art Build-
ing with a collection of articles taken in China
during the Boxer uprising.
There was recently on exhibition in the
Bowdoin Gallery, an exceptionally good col-
lection of 78 photographs illustrating all the
masterpieces of John S. Sargent, R. A. These
photographs were loaned by the Library Art
Club, and remained on exhibition until
May 14.

BASEBALL
Bowdoin, 6; Bates, i.
Bowdoin won the third game of the Maine
College series at Lewiston last Saturday,
defeating Bates by the score of 6 to 1 in an
interesting game.
Bowdoin played fast ball from the first, the
team showing up in the best form of the
season, and playing a remarkable game in both
fielding • and hitting. The latter was the
feature of the contest, the team connecting
with Johnson for 13 hits, a large portion of
which were bunched. The work of Abbott,
Files, Bower and Greene was particularly
strong in this department.
Files pitched, and, as usual, played a splen-
did game. The fielding of the team was of
the best, the work of the entire infield being
as near perfect as one could ask. The out-
field also played in its usual fast form.
The game was a very close contest during
the first six innings. Bates got one run in
the first inning, and Bowdoin secured one in
her half of the second. In the seventh, how-
ever, Bowdoin began her batting. With two
men retired, Bower singled, stole second and
scored on a three-bagger by Abbott.
In the eighth Bowdoin secured another run.
Sparks singled, followed by another by Greene.
Hodgson reached first in a fielder's choice and
Sparks took third, after which Blair singled,
scoring Sparks. In the ninth three more runs
were secured on clean hitting and good all-
round playing. Bowdoin secured three sin-
gles and a triple in this inning.

Boston College, 7 ; Bowdoin, 5.
Bowdoin lost to Boston College on Thurs-
day of last week by the score of 7 to 5. Both
teams played a loose fielding game, and this
contributed largely to the loss of the game.
Morrell pitched the first three innings, but
retired in favor of Sparks. After that time
Boston College secured but one run.

Bowdoin, 5 ; Maine, 2.
Bowdoin won a great victory over Maine at
Orono last Wednesday by the score of 5 to 2.
It was an interesting contest and was witnessed
by a large crowd of people, it being the Junior
week at that institution. An account will
appear in the next issue.
THREE ADDITIONAL BALL GAMES
Manager Wilson completed arrangements
last Monday to play the Holy Name team of
Portland in that city June 2. This is the date
recently cancelled by Harvard Second. It
had been hoped that this date could be
secured for a game in Brunswick, but owing
to the financial condition of the association,
sufficient guarantee could not be offered.
Arrangements are also being completed for a
game with the South Portland team for June
9 in that city and a return game at Brunswick
during Commencement week. In the arrange-
ments that are being made it is stated that
"Pop" Williams is to pitch the Brunswick
game, which will be an added attraction for
Bowdoin men.
NEW ENGLAND MEET
The annual track meet of the New England
colleges was held on the Tech. field at Brook-
line last Saturday and resulted in a victory
for Dartmouth. Bowdoin was represented
by five men and succeeded in capturing five
points. It was hoped that Capt. Tobey might
score for Bowdoin, but the fact that he has
been playing tennis a great deal of late proved
a great handicap. He, however, qualified for
the semi-final heat before being beaten. Kim-
ball succeeded in capturing second in the
quarter in a great race, and Robinson took
third in the two-mile. The summary of the
meet was as follows :
100-Yard Dash — Won by Risigari, Tufts ; Porter,
Maine, second; Swasey. third; Jordan, Dartmouth,
fourth. Time — 10 1-5S.
220- Yard Dash — Won by Porter, Maine; Risi-

DRAMATIC CLUB
During the past week the Dramatic Club
has been getting pledges from those students
who would buy tickets to "The Rivals," if
repeated on the night before Ivy, June 7.
Enough names have been obtained to give a
fairly sure guarantee of expenses, so the
management has decided to give the perform-
ance. A few minor details are yet to be
arranged, but the presentation is assured, and
it is hoped that every one will make arrange-
ments to attend the play, and have as many as
possible of their friends go with them.
Not only is "The Rivals" a good play, but
Bowdoin has an excellent caste in it this
spring, and the club deserves the support of
the college.

Mr. Heath's Address where a somewhat
extended account of the
address of Hon. H. M. Heath, '72, before the
debating course. The address was one of
the most interesting and instructive that has
been delivered at Bowdoin in a long time, and
the Orient commends its reading to those
who did not have the privilege of listening to
Mr. Heath.
A word of criticism may
well be said concerning
Subscnptions ^ ^^ of tfae ^^
this spring, in the matter of athletic subscrip-
tions, ft is doubtful if there has been so much
indifference among undergraduates for a long
time as has existed this semester. It is far
from complimentary to the undergraduate
body to state that the money paid in for base-
ball, track and tennis has all been below
recent years, and that the managers have had
the greatest difficulty in being able to
play off their schedules as arranged. Just
why this condition exists, is hard to say, but
that there is great indifference there can be
no doubt.
In baseball the subscriptions signed was
$750.00 as compared with $911.00 a year ago,
and the amount paid in has been between
$200.00 and $300.00 less. The manager this
year arranged the best possible schedule and
has been untiring to make the season a suc-
cess. He has been particularly fortunate in
the way of weather, but even under these con-
ditions he must collect in a large proportion of
the money outstanding at the present time in
order to make his accounts balance. Had he
not had this good fortune, it is hard to say
where he would have been at this time.
The attitude toward track has not been any
more creditable. The amount subscribed for
compared well with previous years, but the
amount paid in has been far less. Men have
not met their subscriptions at the dates speci-
fied, and there is at the present time, with the
season over, nearly $200.00 which has
not been paid. Before the Maine „meet the
management made complete canvasses of the
college for the funds that must be forthcom-
ing in order to pay for the expenses of the
team, and the amount resulting from a whole
evening's work was in some instances as small
as $3.00. As is well known, the night before
the New England Meet the management were
obliged to raise $72.00 in order to allow
five men to take the trip, and as the money
was not forthcoming the team could not go
on the early morning train, and for a time it
appeared as if they might not be able to go at
all. And this with a large number of overdue
subscriptions unpaid. It would have been
desirable for more men to have gone if the
students had done their duty by the team, and
it is also possible Bowdoin might have secured
a few more points. The same thing was true
BOWDOIN ORIENT
55
of tennis. The day before the Vermont trip
it was not certain that the men could go.
Men who had subscribed and named the date
could not pay when the time came.
There are several ways of considering these
things. If a fellow in college is unable to pay
a little money to support the college teams,
he is not obliged to do so. There are, doubt-
less, cases where this is true, although the
number is probably not large. If such is
the case, the student should not pay and he is
entitled to all respect in his not doing so.
The student who puts his name down, how-
ever, and then does not pay, is doing a dis-
loyal if not a dishonest act. A name on a sub-
scription is just as binding as any contract,
and the men who refuse to pay are doing wrong
by the managers and by the college. Every
cent that has been put into athletics this year
has gone for good purposes, and to support
the teams is one of the privileges of every stu-
dent who can afford it. And yet there are
men in college who are able to spend money
freely in other directions who have stated that
they could not pay their subscriptions after
they have signed in for them.
One of the worst things about this condi-
tion is its contagion. Men who would other-
wise pay, seeing fellows whom they know are
more able to meet their subscriptions refusing
to do so, think it no more than just that they
should escape. There is some logic in such
a conclusion, but the result is disastrous for
the managers.
Bowdoin undergraduates justly pride them-
selves on college spirit, but when it is remem-
bered that another college of the State paid out
for a special trip for its track team, this year,
half as much as our men have paid in alto-
gether, to say nothing of much larger sub-
scriptions for other college activities, the stu-
dents have no reason to feel especially proud
of their support this spring.
The Orient does not refer to these condi-
tions as being in any way alarming or as against
the college spirit in general. It is rather a
temporary laxness on the part of some stu-
dents which should, and doubtless will, be
corrected.
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS
The trials for the selection of the Com-
mencement speakers to compete for the Good-
win prize, was completed last Tuesday even-
ing, and resulted in the selection of the fol-
lowing men : Philip F. Chapman, James A.

MR. HEATHS ADDRESS
A large number of the students and faculty
enjoyed the lecture on "Public Speaking" by
Hon. H. M. Heath, '72, in the Debating Room
of Hubbard Hall last Thursday evening.
Mr. Heath said in part:
"It is a comfort for me to know that so
many college men to-day have so much
advantage. Thirty-eight years ago when I
entered college, no attention was paid to
English ; that men had to go out into the
world and get along largely by the use of
their own language, was entirely forgotten.
"In the first place, I think the use of a skel-
eton, even, in public speaking, ought to be made
a capital offense. A man should have such a
command of his work as to be able to frame it,
skeleton and all, upon his feet. You cannot
frame good thought under the 'snow heaps' of
the closet.
"The first requisite in the public speaker is
to have a body of iron. No physical exercise
that our athletic systems entail is any too
severe. Thomas B. Reed recognized the
necessity of a sound body when Speaker of
the House of Representatives. At a dinner
in Washington he would partake of no wine
because he felt that the least bit of alcohol
might impair his ability to fulfil his duty to
his people in the trying time to which the
Speaker is subject.
"The next study is simplicity of English.
You can best get this by the study of Latin
and Greek, by long training in dissecting
these languages. Then learn an old English
synonym for every word in your vocabulary
from Latin and Greek. Thus you may bring
yourself down to the plain language of the
plain people. The mind should grasp the
picture of the idea and not have to hunt
around for its meaning.
"To attain this simplicity the first book to
study is the Bible; no pther piece of literature
equals it. The Bible holds its power because
its translators chose the simple language of
the plain people. Next to this is Shakes-
peare ; then the very best and choicest of liter-
ature with no time wasted on hastily written
literature. Of the orators, study Webster of
56
BOWDOIN ORIENT
America, and next to him John Bright of
England; by his plain words John Bright
kept England from interfering in favor of the
South in our Civil War. Then study the dic-
tionary ; Ruf us Choate studied, it every day, to
acquire simplicity. Finally, to gain simplic-
ity, use short words, short sentences, and
short speeches. Aaron Burr, one of the great-
est orators this country has known, never
made his argument on a case more than half
an hour long.
"The third requisite is voice training. A
course in voice training should be given as
much attention as any other. Nine hundred
and ninety-nine men out of a thousand make
a failure in their voice, in its natural state.
"The public speaker should learn to use the
middle voice; public speaking should not be
declamatory, and should not start on a high
pitch. Erom the middle voice it is easy to go
down to the heavy bass, then up, if necessary.
Then again the middle voice is sympathetic;
minds like to be fooled and the sympathetic
tone makes it easier to steal the other fellow's
head. Half the power of the orator is due to
the proper use of the voice. Pitt at the age
of twenty ruled the House of Commons with
his admirable voice. Jefferson, although a
master of written English, couldn't rule men
because of his poor voice.
"In regard to gestures, I think every man
should be a law to himself. True gesticula-
tion is natural. In Washington I saw Camille
played in Italian, not one word of which I
could understand; nor had I any translation.
Yet from the gestures I could follow every
detail.
"The public speaker must back up what he
"says with character. Jurors and judges are
men of blood and require character. The
effective speaker must be sincere ; if not his
blow never strikes home.
"The next element is intensity of word and
manner. If your speeches haven't fire in
them, they should be in the fire. You need
the power of humanity, to speak from heart
to heart. This is the power which will make
Lincoln's Gettysburg address live down
through countless ages, long after Everett's
empty rhetoric is forgotten. To help attain
this, study rich poetry and good novels.
"The public speaker must accumulate the
knowledge of the ages. Some day he can use
it for life or death. Thus it was that Web-
ster was enabled to reach out for his smoking
thunderbolts.
"The human mind must be relieved, so you
cannot neglect the study of wit and humor ; a
man is a failure without it. You must also
use the pen. Alexander Hamilton in his
great libel case, wrote out his speech the night
before and then destroyed it. The use of the
pen will teach you how to prune. You must
make up your mind that others will not suffer
your own delusion in regard to your fine
sounding sentences. You should take every
chance to stand on your feet and think. Get
full of your subject and then there is no
trouble about the words. You need to stand
on your feet when you talk, for there is a mul-
tiple process going on which you cannot use
in a chair.
"Without nervousness before speaking you
will never be a success. Nervousness is an
indication of the proper condition of mind.
But you must take care to let neither your
opponent nor your audience see your nervous-
ness.
"I trust no graduate of this college will
ever read his speech. No verdict ever was
won in this way, and I do not believe souls
are so won.
"The object of eloquence is to convince ; so
never try to be eloquent. If so you lose your
power. Just think and speak of your cause.
O'Connell said a great speech was very fine,
but the verdict was the real thing. This
oower of eloquence is partly a gift, more
largely an acquisition.
"I can summarize all I have said in one
sentence: Work, fight, believe in-a future life,
the survival of the fittest, be true to self, to
conscience, and to God, and the battle of life
shall end in victory."
At the close of the lecture President Hyde
presented the debating team with gold medals,
the reward of the victory over Clark College,
April 27.

REV. F. H. ROWSE, EX='81
Word has been received of the sudden
death by suicide of Rev. Frederick H. Rowse
at St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Rowse had been suf-
fering from ill health for a long time, and this
is said to have been the cause of his taking his
own life. He was a native of Augusta, hav-
ing been born there in 1859. He was the
son of Edward Rowse, a well-known
Augusta jeweler. Frederick Rowse entered
Bowdoin with the Class of 1881, and joined
the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, but at the
end of his Sophomore year left college to enter
the ministry. In 1882 he became pastor of
the Episcopal Church at Fort Fairfield, and
held this pastorate for five years, when he
removed to Plymouth, Mass., where he
preached until 1902. In 1902 he went to Min-
nesota and since his arrival he has preached
at Fairbault, Pipestone, and St. Paul, where
he was at the time of his death.
CHARLES FRED MOULTON, '87
Dr. Charles Fred Moulton, a well-known
eye specialist of Boston, died April 24, at his
residence, 75 Park Street, West Roxbury,
Mass., aged 40. A widow, son and daughter
survive. He was on the medical staff of the
City Hospital and the Massachusetts Eye and
Ear Infirmary. Dr. Moulton was born at
Canton, Me., June 23, 1865. He was gradu-
ated from Bowdoin College, Class of 1887,
and from Dartmouth Medical School in 1890.
He began practice in West Roxbury in Janu-
ary, 1891. In 1896 he went abroad and spent
considerable time in the hospitals of London
and Paris, studying the diseases of the eye.
On his return to Boston he opened an office
in the Warren Chambers as a specialist. In
that year he was stricken with a spinal trouble
which for four years kept him in his bed, but
in 1902 he resumed practice. At the time of
his death his office was at the Westminster
Chambers, Copley Square. The cause of his
death was tuberculosis meningitis. He was a
member of Prospect Lodge, A. F. and A. M.,
Roslindale, and of the Highland Club. The
death of Dr. Moulton is the fourth break in
the ranks of '87, the others who have died
being Robinson, Pushor and Choate.

VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, JUNE i, 1906
NO. 7
BASEBALL
Bowdoin, s ; Maine, 2.
Bowdoin won a decisive baseball victory
over the University of Maine at Orono on
Wednesday of last week, by the score of 5 to 2.
The game was a most interesting contest
throughout, but was clearly Bowdoin's from
the start.
Sparks pitched his second game of the year
for Bowdoin and surely made a good begin-
ning, the Maine team being able to secure but
three hits off his delivery during the nine
innings. He also played a strong fielding
game.
The work of the entire infield was of the
best — even better than that of the Bates game
of the previous week. Every man played in
remarkable form. Blair played his position
in a way that was a revelation to those who
have not seen him at his best, while Capt.
Hodgson also did splendid work. The play-
ing of the remainder of the infield was also
commendable.
As in nearly all the games of the year, the
team hit hard and effectively, ten hits being
secured off Frost. Stanwood excelled in this
work, he securing three out of five times at
bat.
Bowdoin secured her first run in the second
inning. Sparks sent a hot drive to Burns, took
second on Blair's out, and scored on a single
by Greene. In the third, Bowdoin secured
another run. Abbott drew a base on balls,
stole second and scored on a drive along the
first base line by Stanwood. In the fourth,
Bowdoin secured two more runs. Blair sin-
gled, and took third on a poor throw by Gor-
don to cut off his steal. Then Hodgson hit
to Frost, but Mayo missed the throw and
Blair scored. Hodgson then stole second and
scored on a passed ball. Bowdoin secured
another run in the seventh, Abbott securing a
single and scoring on a timely hit by Stan-
wood.
Maine secured her first run in the third.
Mayo beat out a short hit and scored on a
wild pitch by Sparks. Her only other run
came in the seventh, Quint securing a double
and scoring on a hit by Higgins.
The summary :
Bowdoin.

J
PROFESSOR BAKER ON DEBATING
Wednesday afternoon, May 23, Professor
George P. Baker of Harvard University, gave
a half-hour talk before the debating course.
He said in part :
"I shall interpret my subject very broadly;
students like the broader meaning, the applica-
tion debating has to practical affairs.
"We lose sight of the fact that education is
a privilege and not a birthright ; only an insig-
nificant proportion are educated. The chief
difference between the men in Harvard Col-
lege and thousands of young men in Boston is
one only of opportunity.
''The education that makes a man able to
think turns him out an educated man. Men
must think tolerably and persuasively, no mat-
ter what they study. I have no interest in the
man who does not try to make himself the
most effiective in his profession. A man may
lead two lives ; his professional life, and his
life in his own community. He has a duty to
make his life in the community also most
effective.
"Opportunities to-day are universally com-
pared with what they used to be. The college
man is sure to get a chance. Most people do
not think. When they do think they have a
capacity to think wrong. The college man
has a great chance to set him right. Three
great resisting forces must be fought in every
case, ignorance, intolerance and inertia ; to
meet them the student should develop the two
qualities of sympathy and trust.
"From this power of creating sympathy and
trust, Dean Shaler of Harvard was a born
leader. You know he was sincere and that
he had thought about what he said. His
qualities of sincerity and simplicity endeared
him. These are what the public wants.
"I do not believe college men can expect to
become leaders in the first year or two out of
college, but they are sure to be in demand
some day. They must keep their eyes open
and be active. A man should feel the possi-
bilities of his leadership. According to the
sentiment of one of President Cleveland's
speeches, he should be appreciative, sympa-
thetic, prompt and sturdy. He should get the
point of view of the other side."
"SHAKESPEARE'S LONDON"
On Wednesday, May 23, Dr. G. P. Baker,
of Harvard, under the auspices of the Ibis gave
a stereopticon lecture before a large audience
in Memorial Hall, on "Shakespeare's Lon-
don." Dr. Baker first showed pictures of and
talked about the various streets of old Lon-
don, then took the audience through London,
over London Bridge and out to the park
where most of the theatres of Shakespeare's
day were situated. After showing several
views of the exterior of these theatres, Dr.
[laker went into an extended account of the
stage details used in Shakespeare's day, and
illustrated many of his points with pictures
t?.ken of the very carefully reconstructed
Shakesperean stage of Harvard.
ALEXANDER PRIZE SPEAKERS
The trials for the Alexander prize speakers
held last week, resulted in the selection of the
following men to compete for the prize : Red-
man, '07 ; Pike, '07 ; Briggs, '07 ; Haley, '07 ;
Hupper, '08; Gould, '08; Morrison, '08; Gas-
tonguay, '09 ; Cole, '09.

, , A. Last Saturday's Inter-
Interscholast.c scholastic Meet proved
itself one of the best ever
held. While there was not as many schools
represented as is sometimes the case, the men
competing were perhaps the best ever gath-
ered for a preparatory school meet in the
State. The work in the hurdles, jumps,
pole vault and weights, in particular, was of
a sort that would do credit to any Maine col-
lege, and it is safe to say that the men who
took the points will be heard from later in
college.
It is unfortunate that ■ there should not
have been more schools represented. The
Interscholastic Meet is surely the best time of
all the 3fear for the entertainment of visitors.
The college is at its best and it comes at a
lime when all the fraternities are working to
bring men to the college. Students from the
various preparatory schools should work
hard each year to see that their school sends
a team, even if they cannot win points. It is
an opportune time for the best work and
another year there should be more schools on
hand.
Our Debating
Department
Bowdoin deserves to be
congratulated on the
work done in its debating
department during the past year. A large
number of men have taken the course, our
intercollegiate team was victorious, and the
course has extended its scope. The sending
out of men for special addresses is worthy oi
special mention. Members of the course have
been given real training in public speaking
before general audiences and the results have
been very satisfactory, both to the men and
to the college. In this way the college appears
before prospective students in a practical
light. The fact that we have here at Bow-
doin a thorough course in argumentation,
credit for work in which is given towards
the degree, ought to have great weight with
those men in our preparatory schools who are
at all interested in debating and who aim to
be able to express their ideas clearly and logi-
cally. There is no other course that gives a
man the power to handle himself and the
knowledge he gains from other lines of study
so effectively as a consistent course in debat-
ing:. The banquet of the Council at
New Meadows also bad its practical as well
as its social side, and was only one of the
features of the course that is making it one of
the strong departments of the college.
The season of the Musical
Musical Clubs Clubs for 1905-6 was com-
pleted with the annual
election of the clubs held last Thursday even-
ing. In every respect the season has been one
of the best in years. Not only have the clubs
been of a rare excellence in -musical ability, but
the season has been completed with a surplus
of $60.00 in the treasury. The clubs have
made the usual number of trips during the
year, and in every place visited they were
accorded a cordial reception, both in attend-
ance and in enthusiasm. The work done by
the clubs in some cities was credited with
BOWDOIN ORIENT
65
being the best ever given, and to those who
have heard the concerts it is certain that the
statement was no exaggeration. The members
enjoyed dinner at New Meadows last Tuesday
evening, where it invested a portion of its sur-
plus in a shore dinner. The Orient congrat-
ulates the clubs and the college on the work
done this year.
The attention of Seniors
Class Marching and Juniors should be
called to the necessity of
attending the class marching. The marshals
of both classes are experiencing difficulty in
getting all of the men to turn out each day,
and the result is that the perfecting of the
marching is seriously handicapped. Several
times during the past few years the class
marching has not been of the best,
and the cause was exactly this thing. A few
men in each class, by their negligence can in
a large measure spoil the work of those who
turn out faithfully. There are, doubtless,
times when many men find it impossible to be
present, but repeated absences look more like
a lack of spirit than anything else. Nearly all
the members of both classes are on hand each
day. The faithful work of these men should
not be handicapped by a few others.
MUSICAL CLUBS DINNER
The Glee Club season came to a close last
Monday night in a merry manner when the
entire musical association indulged in a din-
ner at New Meadows Inn. A fine banquet
was provided by the management, after which
a jolly hour was spent in singing college and
other songs. The event brought to a close,
fittingly, one of the most successful years
that has ever been the lot of any Bowdoin
Clubs.
NEW VEREIN MEN
The men who have been elected • to the
Deutcher Verein for the next year, are as fol-
lows : Allen, '07 ; Bower, '07 ; Weed, '07 ;
Chadbourne, '07; Stetson, '07; Pike, '07;
Mincher, '07 ; Linnell, '07 ; Duddy, '07 ; Voor-
hees, '07 ; Bridgham, '08 ; Lee, '08 ; Delevina,
'08 ; Gray, '08 ; Marsh, '09 ; Jackson, '09 ;
Brewster, '09.
The initiation took place at New Meadows
Inn last Thursday evening.
MEETING OF TRUSTEES AND OVERSEERS
Last Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the
Trustees and Overseers was held in Hubbard
Hall. The meeting was called to consider a
resolution proposed by the Carnegie founda-
tion as a condition of placing Bowdoin College
in its lists of institutions which are to receive
retiring allowances for its professors. No
decision was reached in regard to this resolu-
tion, but a committee was selected to confer
widi the Carnegie Institute. This com-
mittee consists of President Hyde, Gen. T.
H. Hubbard, Hon. C. F. Libby, Hon. J. P.
Baxter, and F. C. Payson, Esq.," of Portland.
Several other matters were considered, but no
definite action was taken on anything impor-
tant.
At this meeting there was an unusually large
attendance. Out of the 13 trustees, there were
present President Hyde, Rev. J. S. Sewall,
lion. J. L. Chamberlain, Hon. W. LeB.
Putnam, Gen. T. H. Hubbard, Gen.
O. O. Howard, Rev. S. V. Cole, Hon.
A. P. Wiswell, and Dr. Edward Stan-
wood. Of the other three, Chief Justice Ful-
ler was presiding over the Supreme Court,
Senator Frye was temporarily presiding over
the Senate, and Gen. J. M. Brown was ill.
Out of the 42 Overseers, 16 were present,
which is a very creditable number considering
the area over which the members of this board
are scattered.
On Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the vis-
iting committee met in Massachusetts Hall,
and again at 7 o'clock in conjunction with
the faculty meeting in Hubbard Hall. Of the
five members of the visiting committee those
present were Rev. S. V. Cole, S. C. Belcher
of Farmington, G. F. Cary of East Machias,
and F. H. Appleton of Bangor.

evening.
IVY DAY ARRANGEMENTS
The work of arranging for Bowdoin's Ivy Day is
now well along and the indications point to a most
successful event. The evening before "The Rivals"
will be presented in the Town Hall and doubtless
this will bring many friends of the college to Bruns-
wick earlier than they would otherwise come. The
play is a strong one. the caste excellent, and it is
safe to predict a large attendance. The Psi Upsilon
Fraternity will also entertain its friends with a
dancing party on this evening.
The ball game of the next morning will take place
at 10 o'clock, the opposing team being Colby.
Although the contest will be but an exhibition game
it will be worth seeing, and as is usually the case,
there will probably be one of the largest crowds of
the year on hand.
The Junior exercises will be held in Memorial
Hall at 2 p.m., immediately after which will occur
the planting of the Ivy and the Seniors' last chapel.
In addition to the Bugle this year, will appear the
Collection of Bowdoin Songs which have been com-
piled by Foster, '05.. and Allen, '07. This will be
placed on sale during the day and both will doubt-
less have a large sale. The new book is
intended to be a fine collection of songs and the
printing and other details are to be of the best. The
book deserves a large sale. The Bugle is too well-
well at Bowdoin to need an introduction.
The Ivy hop will occur at 9 p.m. The music will
be by Pullen of Bangor, who will also furnish music
for the afternoon exercises.

CHEMISTRY CLUB
The Chemistry Club met a* the Beta Theta Pi
House on the evening of May 25th, with Copeland,
'06. There were 14 members present. The
speaker of the evening was Henry D. Evans, .Bow-
doin, '01, who is State Chemist at the State Labor-
atory at Augusta. Mr. Evans talked on the sub-
ject of "Drinking Water." His talk was very
interesting and highly appreciated by the club. He
spoke of drinking water in general and more par-
ticularly of the drinking water of the State of
Maine. After the talk by Mr. Evans an informal
discussion ensued in which all the members of the
club participated. Following this refreshments
were served and the evening concluded with a
hearty, social intermingling of the memebrs.
The next meeting of the club will be the business
meeting to be held at New Meadows Inn on June
nth.

BASEBALL NOTES
** The baseball management has arranged for the
return dale with South Portland to take plaee on
Whittier Field Wednesday, June 27. As announced
last week, "Pup" Williams will pitch the game,
and it is expected that "Jim" Clarke, captain of
last year's team, w.ll play left field for the visitors. '
The date arranged for the postponed game with
Colby at Waterville will be June 16. It is possible
that the game may not be played, since if Colby
wins all her other games she can claim the cham-
pionship beyond dispute, and the game would not
be necessary. If, however, Colby should lose any
of her thre: remain ng games, Bowdoin would have
the opportunity of tieing for the championship, and
the game would be the most important of the
season.
Coach Irwin left last Saturday, to take charge of
his summer hotel business. However, he will be
on hand at the Harvard game, and if it becomes
necessary to pjay the Colby game it is expected that
he will come down a short time before in order to
get the men in the best possible form.

VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, JUNE 8, 1906
NO. 8
IVY DAY
To-day is Ivy Day at Bowdoin, and, like its
predecessors, is one of the greatest days of the
year. This afternoon occur the literary exer-
cises of the Class of 1907, consisting of the
presentations, the oration, the reading of the
poem and the singing of the ode. In addition
to this the day is observed by the Seniors'
Last Chapel, the planting of the ivy, the
appearance of the Bugle and other features.
The Orient takes pleasure in presenting the
oration, the poem, and the ode in this issue.
^. The Oration
The oration was delivered by Aubrey J.
Voorhees. His subject was "The Municipal
Problem," and was as follows :
Who of a century ago would recognize the mod-
ern United States? A century ago we were a small
nation, with but little influence among the nations
of the world and hardly able to maintain our honor
and self-respect against the aggressions of England,
France and the Barbary States. To-day this con-
dition of affa:rs has completely changed. Politically
we have grown from a nation, despised and insig-
nificant, into one of the Powers of the world. Eco-
nomically we have become the strongest country in
Christendom. Not the least of these changes have
been the growth and development of the city. In
New York City to-day there are more people than
there were in 1776 in our whole country. In the
growth of the city better chances of development —
mental, physical, moral and social — have been pro-
vided, as is evidenced by the modern public school
and even college; by the libraries, art buildings and
museums ; and by the parks, gymnasiums, and play-
grounds ; but on the other hand, competition has
become keener and more relentless, the poor have
ben forced into the cheap boarding house and into
the crowded tenement, and as a result we have our
terrible slums, which are a blot on our otherwise
fair cities. Of the black side of city life, Professor
Thomas H. Huxley says: "Anyone who is acquainted
with the state of the population in all the great
industrial centers is aware that amidst a large and
ever-increasing body of that population, there reigns
supreme that condition which the French call
la misere. It is a condition in which the food,
warmth and clothing necessary for the mere main-
tenance of the functions of. the body in their normal
state cannot be obtained ; in which men, women, and
children are forced to crowd into dens wherein
decency is abolished, and the most ordinary condi-
tions of healthful existence are impossible of attain-
ment; in which the pleasures within reach are
reduced to brutality and drunkenness ; in which the
pains accumulate at compound interest in the shape
of starvation, disease and stunted development, and
moral degradation ; in which the prospect of steady
and even honest employment is a life of unsuccessful
battling with hunger, rounded by a pauper's grave.
We are confronted by a contradiction. On the one
hand we see splendid chances for moral, mental and
physical development ; on the other hand, in the face
of those opportunities, we see parts of our cities
filled with ragged, dirty-faced children, unkempt,
sickly, haggard women, and listless, whiskey-gorged
men. Is there no remedy for this contradiction?
These poor sium dwellers do not live so from choice.
Is the cause of their condition to be found in our
institutions; is our government at fault; have we
too much democracy, and are we Americans unfitted
to the task of governing ourselves ?
The mass of the people in our large American
cities have no voice in the government. Theoreti-
cally they have, but in practice the government of
our large cities is conducted by a "privileged few."
These few do not care whether Republicans or Dem-
ocrats are in power. They are usually the heads of
big corporations. Their only anxiety is for their
dividends. Many of those men have made their
fortunes out of the public through securing "privi-
leges" in the form of franchises. For instance, on
the Bronx and Manhattan, in New York, the secur-
ities for surface railways, and gas and electric light-
ing plants are valued at $4,000,000,000.00. The physi-
cal property of these corporations is worth but $126,-
oco 000.00. In other words, the city has given these
corporations franchises worth $175,000,000.00, in
return for which the city has not received one cent.
Nay, in return for those franchises they secured only
graft and corruption. To obtain the franchises the
corporatons will willingly offer bribes, as in St.
Louis a few years ago, when bribery entered every
department of government. In St. Louis the boss
was the agent of the corporations. It was the boss
who organized the government of the city by domi-
neering the caucus and the election ; it was the boss
who was the mediator between the dishonest city
officials and the corporation, and it was the boss
who grew by means of his bribes from a poor black-
smith into a multi-millionaire. In Philadelphia we
have seen in the recent exposure how the "city ring"
has grown until it has reached our United States
Senate. The boss of Philadelphia sits in our Sen-
ate, and dictates the government of Philadelphia in
the interests of the corporations. These cases are
extreme, but they are typical. We Americans are
notoriously easy-going. We pride ourselves on our
democratic government. We will endure being
ruled, as long as we do not see the hand that rules
us. But our large cities are not truly democratic,
72
BOWDOIN ORIENT
for the people do not control the government, but
must endure such government as the "privileged
few" are willing to give them. Herein is the cause
of the bad condition of our large cities. The cor-
porations do not care for the people. Their only
concern is their dividends. To make their dividends
large, they do not scruple at bribery or any dishon-
esty; they maneuvre to keep in office officials who
will be their agents and tools. The people look on
and only spasmodically protest. No, we Americans
are not unfitted to the task of ruling ourselves. We
have not all had a chance. If we shall ever solve
the problem of the black side of our city life, we
must have more and a purer democracy.
To secure a wider democracy, and to help the
shimmers, we must take from the oppressive cor-
porations that which belongs to the cities. Trans-
portation, light, water, heat and power, are natural
monopolies, and are necessities of life. The con-
trol of these should not be in the hands of a few
grasping, unscrupulous men. In many of our large
cities conditions have become so unbearable that
the long-suffering peopile have been roused from
their lethargy, and have been practically forced to
assume control of the light, heat, water, and power.
New York has awakened and besides other munici-
pal property, has invested profitably $200,000000 in
docks ; Chicago annually receives $125,000,000 from
her water works ; corrupt Cincinnati, and Detroit,
Wheeling and Seattle have roused themselves, and
find profit in the municipal ownership of the neces-
sities of life. In none of these instances has there
been financial failure, nor has the service been infe-
rior to that rendered by private monopolies. On the
other hand, the people have taken greater pride in
their city, they have become keener critics, and by
their interest they have stirred the officials to a high
sense of their duties.
In the discussion of municipal ownership one
point has commonly been overlooked. We do not
usually perceive the relationship between the slum
problem and the municipal ownership of the trans-
portation lines. Yet in the municipal ownership of
the traction lines is wrapped part of the solution of
the slum question. In Glasgow, Liverpool, and the
other large English cities, the slum problem was
formerly about the same as it is in our large Ameri-
can cities. In 1894 Glasgow assumed control of the
traction lines, improved the equipment, and reduced
the car fares thirty per cent. In spite of private
opposition, and in spite of reduced fares, the Glas-
gow traction lines are a profitable investment to the
city ; London, Manchester and Leeds own all or part
o.f their traction lines. Liverpool assumed control
of hers in 1894. By 1903 the number of passengers
carried increased one hundred and ninety^four per
cent, and the receipts in the same time grew eighty
per cent., in spite of the fact that the wages of the
employees were raised, the hours of employment
reduced, and the car fares cut down fifty per cent.
We in America have only begun to think of the
municipal ownership of the street railways. Chicago
is struggling in an attempt to take over her trac-
tion lines, but the corporations are madly fighting to
retain their monopoly. Yet in assuming control of
the local traction lines, the English cities have com-
menced to solve the slum problem. By reducing
the car fares the dwellers of the slums can afford
to live away from the slums in the suburbs and in
the country, and yet be in touch with their daily
work. We will find it so in Chicago, and in all our
big cities. At present the tenement dwellers cannot
afford to ride daily to and from their work in the
city. Yet if Glasgow could profitably reduce her
car fares thirty-three percent., and if Liverpool could
reduce hers fifty per cent., surely we Americans
could do so. The tendency to-day is toward the
municipal ownership of the local traction company.
If the municipal ownership of the street railways
will help the slum and tenement problem in even the
slightest degree, certainly we should use our influ-
ence to hasten this desirable result.
To take over the traction companies will not be
easy. The rich, influential men do not want to give
up their profits. Naturally these men oppose reform.
On the patronage of these men depend a large pro-
portion of the press, many of our lawyers, and prac-
tically all the politicians. They will not offend their
patrons. Thus we have a powerful class which will
oppose at every turn any and all reform that hurts
their dividends. Therefore it is with the educated
common people that reform must begin. They, and
they alone, must work their own salvation, by strik-
ing at graft and dishonesty in politics, and also by
assuming control of their birthright — the natural
monopoly. The struggle will not be easy. Rather
it will be the hardest problem the people have ever
worked out, but it must be faced. In assuming con-
trol of the traction companies, the cities will be tak-
ing a course which vitally concerns their welfare,
just as in opposing municipal ownership of the
traction lines, the corporations will be looking after
their own private interests. It is with the people,
the intelligent people, that we. the members of the
Class of 1907, must ally ourselves. The college man
occupies a peculiar position. For four years he stud-
ies the theories of Economics and Sociology; he
learns the true conditions which exist in the slums
of our large cities and he knows what causes these
conditions. Moreover, by his training he learns in
theory how these conditions can be remedied and
improved. Surely every college man would be
ashamed of joining forces with those who seek to
keep in subjection the oppressed slum dweller. No,
classmates, our college training must not be for
naught. We must endeavor to put in pfactice what
we have learned in theory, and by joining forces
with the educated common people we must try to
lift up from their deadening environment our igno-
rant and less fortunate countrymen.
The Poem
The poem was by Charles W. Snow, and
was as follows:
O soul of song,
Unheeded in this latter day
By us who oft recall that we are clay,
We need thy power in our joyous throng.
Dark commerce clouds have brooded o'er our time
And limited the upward look sublime.
Against this sordid spirit, which enthralls,
A stand is made in academic halls
To keep the fire on the altar bright.
And shed throughout the world a ray of light.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
73
O kindly mother, *"
Whose bosom for a hundred years,
Has nourished warriors, poets, statesmen, seers,
Thine altar softer shines than any other.
The mystic meaning of thy lonely child
Has wreathed a halo 'round the undefined ;
The murmuring music of thy soulful bard
Has cheered our journey over many a shard;
And all thy great ones, both alive and dead,
Have laid their choicest laurels on thy head.
Now we to-day,
The heirs of all the century's store
Of priceless culture and of learned lore,
Owe thee a debt we never can repay.
The memories thronging 'round historic halls,
Commingling joy with pathos that extols,
The fragrant campus and perennial pines,
The arching elms in solemn, stately lines, —
These still, small voices of a higher life
Have made us stronger for the future strife.
But best of all
The endearing thoughts of friendly ties,
Which bid us out of narrowness arise,
And deeply feel the universal call.
As yonder elms join heads across the path
In Nature's recompense for winter's wrath,
And form a gothic archway high and grand,
So we in spring of life join heart and hand
To form an arch of beauty, love and power,
Our Alma Mater's pride, and richest dower.
Too soon they're o'er,
These happy, careless, four sweet years,
When fancies seldom lie too deep for tears ;
For we are children playing on the shore.
We love to hear the yeasty billows roll,
And sport with dangerous combers near the shoal.
We've caught a glimpse of ocean from the strand,
And must away from harsh, enslaving land ;
We pine to be released from every rod
And sail the virgin seas which lead to God.
Wild dreams of youth,
Those blessed visions bright and dear,
Like glistening dewdrops 'neath the arc-light clear,
Appear at times to hold no grain of truth.
Yet culture's freedom through it all can find
A better social life for all mankind,
A yearning for the Eden life again,
When God in cooling gardens talked with. men.
And though old progress slowly oft doth seem.
At last, at last our hope will reign supreme.
The Ode
The ode was by G. A. Duddy, and was as
follows :
Air — Fair Harvard.
Let the hearts that have loved thee since first they
have known
The sweet care of a mother so dear,
Pledge the love that they bear the allegiance they
own,
In a tribute to her they revere.
Round thy gray, hoary walls we will plant the green
vine,
And the hearts of those gathered to-day,
With their protests of love let the ivy entwine,
Until all the long years roll away.
When the long years have passed with their sorrows
and joys,
And we meet as in good Auld Lang Syne,
May sweet mem'ry recall the day when here as boys
We planted the green ivy vine.
And fresh in our hearts, as the vine on the walls.
May the love of old Bowdoin still cling,
Till the last moss-grown stone of the old chapel
falls,
And the chapel bell ceases to ring.
THE MAY QUILL
As compared with the April number, the
May Quill has the advantage of being the
work of undergraduates practically through-
out. Graduate contributions, however impor-
tant and desirable in themselves, cannot logi-
cally be more than an occasional feature of an
undergraduate publication. On the other
hand, the editors ought not to be compelled,
as in this instance, to furnish nearly every arti-
cle, although they can properly find their
reward in the consciousness of duty well per-
formed.
The personality and services of Luther Bur-
bank make a fresh and interesting subject,
which is treated in an unconventional way.
Its author shows himself capable of looking
beyond the college campus, and does not shape
his ideas to conform to the regular college pat-
tern. This freedom of thought and phrase is
stimulating and attractive. More of it would
be an excellent thing in the student communi-
ty, and must somehow be had if col-
lege graduates are to claim the individ-
uality which is denied them by certain
eminent but ungraduated literary per-
sonages. But raggedness of form, acerbity
of tone, and enthusiastic surrender to
eccentric leadership are perils which seriously
beset the path of those who "walk with bare
feet in the presence of mightier Enlighten-
ment." Perhaps the first peril is more imme-
diate in the case of the writer in question.
The less technical terms in chemistry and of
the sciences in general, often give point to an
illustration ; but "valence" and "saturated
characteristic" are little better than Greek to
the layman. Some incongruity too suggests

To the Class of 1907 and
Ivy Day to all who join it in the cel-
ebration of its Ivy Day the
Orient brings special greetings and congrat-
ulations. May the day prove one of happiness
without alloy, and may all its time-honored
ceremonies and exercises be most successfully
carried out. For over forty years successive
Bowdoin classes have celebrated Ivy Day until
around it there have gathered many of the tra-
ditions dearest to our hearts as Bowdoin men.
Many sister colleges have borrowed the cus-
tom, as they have others originating at Bow-
doin, but this of course, is a compliment of
which we are proud rather than an occasion
for resentment. Other colleges may have
such a day, but for us there is only one Ivy
Dav, and each class in turn is satisfied bevond
any doubt that there never was, and never
will be, any other Ivy Day like its own.
This day brings us sharply to the realiza-
tion that the college year is almost at an end.
The Seniors in particular, as they participate
in the beautiful ceremony of Seniors' Last
Chapel, are forced to realize that the day of
separation and farewell is close at hand. That
exercise is one of the finest and most impressive
of all the college year, and after taking part
in it "Auld Lang Syne" always has a deeper
and more precious significance to the heart of
a Bowdoin man. In some of its features Ivy
Day has changed as the years have passed.
More social functions are connected with it
than there used to be, and the baseball games
in the morning has been a feature for only a
decade or so. In the old times there was
usually a class boat race on the river in the
morning, the last of these taking place in 1894.
In some years the inter-class field day sports
were held in the morning over on the Topsham
track.
There has been practically no change, how-
ever, for more than a generation in the after-
noon exercises, and the oration, the poem and
the presentations, as well as the planting of the
Ivy and the Ivy dance, have been established
fixtures. To the alumni, Ivy Day has less
interest than many other occasions during the
college year, but to the undergraduates, and
especially to the Juniors and their guests, it is
the gala day of the year and an occasion never
to be forgotten. Some of the ivies that have
been planted have flourished and many others
have failed to, but the memories of the day
entwine themselves around the hearts of all
who participate and become one of the strong-
est of the many ties that bind us to Bowdoin
and to our classmates.
-f
Bowdoin's baseball season,
so far as championship
games are concerned, is
now closed, except for the one remaining
game with Colby. As to whether this will be
of any importance remains to be seen
and depends entirely on whether the Water-
ville college wins her two Bates games. Be
I his as it may, every student believes Bowdoin
has a remarkably strong team this year. The
nine is one of which it may be truly said that
there is no really weak place. It is very sel-
dom that a Maine college team does not have
at least one position that "goes begging." But
The Baseball
Season
BOWDOIN ORIENT
75
the Bowdoin team this year has had no such
position. Every man has held his place by his
ability to play ball and the result is that .the
team has been a very strong one — perhaps the
strongest in a number of years. The results
of two of the games — those with Brown and
Andover — showed the ability of the team when
at its best. The games lost have been at times
when the men were not putting up the game
of which they were capable, and it is not too
much to say the defeats have been in the
nature of "hard luck." We may yet have a
chance to tie for first place in the Maine col-
lege series, but whether we do or not, there is
no reason to doubt that the team has been one
of the best in recent vears.
This year the Y. M. C. A.
V. M. C. A. Work work, as a whole, did not
meet with great success,
although the reception to the Freshmen went
off well, the hand-book was published, the
gymnasium thrown open to Brunswick boys
on Saturday morning, and a considerable
number of successful Sunday meetings were
held after chapel. Next year there is to be a
decided attempt to put the association again on
its feet, and have it play a real part in the life
of the college.
There is now a very evident need of a bet-
ter place than that afforded by Banister Hall
in which to hold the meetings. Some mem-
bers of the faculty have very kindly volun-
teered aid in this direction, and it is now
hoped either to remodel Banister Hall, or to
make over a large room up-stairs in the back
part of the chapel, which may be devoted
entirely to Y. M. C. A. purposes, an arrange-
ment not possible if Banister Hall was used.
The general plan of work next fall is to
have as many fellows as possible become mem-
bers of the Association, hold regular Sunday
meetings after chapel, at which prominent
men will speak to the students, to hold special
meetings on Thursday evenings at which anv
matters of college interest will be discussed,
and to have the Association do more practical
work along the lines followed by the Christian
Associations in the larger colleges. The Y.
M. C. A. a few years ago was one of the
strongest elements in Bowdoin College for it
was practically the onlv place where fellows
from all the classes and all the fraternities
could meet as one thinking body, and discuss
any college business or projected reform. Of
course the fundamental object of a Y. M. C.
A. is Christian work, but in a college its work
broadens, and next year it is planned to make
every attempt to give to the Y. M. C. A. the
broadest possible scope.
THE MAY QUILL
(Continued from page 73.)
itself when a man is said "to step into his nat-
ural toga and delve with a divine spade." "A
profession of his own creation and perfection"
is not a happy phrase. The sentence construc-
tion, however, is terse and vigorous ; and the
blemishes noted are trifling matters, mere chips
drifting on the strong current of a pure and
refreshing idealism. Emerson, and even Fra
Elbertus, are better gods to worship than the
multi-millionaires.
"The Morocco Note Book" is a happily
conceived and brightly told sketch of youthful
friendship as affected by intercollegiate rela-
tions. The material is simple, even common-
place ; but it is treated with true insight and
feeling. Within the given limits the plan and
thought-expression are those of college-writing
at its best.
Tn "Carlyle's Message to the Men of
To-Day" the theme is so large that the writer
can do hardly more than scratch the surface
in four Quill pages, and one of these is wasted
on an introduction. He is right in his con-
tention that the great hater of sham and ini-
quity was never more needed ; but even a sten-
ographer could not treat the subject in such
narrow limits. Although the observations
have truth and force, one cannot help feeling
that this writer, whose stories have been a
credit to the Quill, is here "writing with his
left hand."
Of the three verse contributions it may be
said that they reach the average mark. The
lines are correctly measured, although the well
rhymed "Weep No More" is somewhat irregu-
lar. "Morn and Eve" and "A Strange
Dream," while quite regular in meter, are
faultily rhymed in several places. The latter
is also marred by slang words and phrases in
a niece intended to be serious.
The editorial departments, as often, suffer
from over-haste. In these the editors have a
valuable opportunity to shape college opinion
and to promote a fuller understanding between
students and facultv ; but as yet no board has
lived up to its privileges in this respect. When
76
BOWDOIN ORIENT
the literary revival that we are awaiting here
at Bowdoin bears fruit in an abundance of
contributed papers, thus relieving the editors
of the task of writing all the articles them-
selves, let us hope that the editorial pages
will take on a wider range.
P. S. A professional conscience compels the
remark that pedes frigus is too bad eyen for
the rollicking burlesque of the festive Gander
Club.

THE LONGWOOD TENNIS MEET
The New England Intercollegiate Tennis
Association held its annual meet at Longwood,
Mass., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of last week. The meet resulted in the honors
being divided between Tech. and Williams, the
latter capturing the singles and the former the
doubles.
Bowdoin showed up in fine form with Tobey
and Paine and it was not until the semi-final
rounds that they were defeated. Both these
men have been doing splendid work for Bow-
doin in tennis this year, they being instru-
mental in the winning of the Maine meet, the
Vermont meet and proving a hard proposition
for the other colleges in the New England
meet.
The summary of the singles at Longwood
was as follows :
First round :
Nicholl, Tech., defeated Hanscom, Tufts, by
default.
Second round :
White, Wesleyan, defeated Wolf, Amherst, by

DEBATING COUNCIL ELECTIONS
The annual meeting of the Bowdoin Debat-
ing Council was held last Tuesday evening.
The business transacted was the listening
to the report of the manager and the election
of officers for the next year. The following
men were elected :
President — F. J. Redman, '07.
Secretary and Treasurer — W. S. Linnell,
'07.
Manager — A. O. Pike, '07.
Faculty Advisory Member — Prof. W. T.
Foster.
The election of an assistant business man-
ager was postponed until the opening of the
fall term, in order that it may be determined
what members of the present Sophomore Class
elect debating and would thus be eligible to
the position.
ART BUILDING NOTES
Last week the Art Building received from
Hon. H. P. Baxter, of the Board of Overseers,
a very interesting collection of Egyptian
antiquities. These Mr. Baxter obtained from
the great Egyptian archaeologist, Professor
Maspers, when in Egypt last summer. The
collection is a valuable one and will be exhib-
ited soon in a glass case in the Boyd Gallery.
Another collection of photographs loaned by
the Library Art Club is now on exhibition in
the Bowdoin Gallery. These are photographs
of selected examples of Decorative Art from
the South Kensington Museum in London,
and they form one of the most interesting col-
lections that have been exhibited this year.
The collection will remain here until June 25.

evening was the listening to the pre-
liminary report of the baseball, track and ten-
nis managers, and the selection of nominees
for managers and assistant managers for next
year. The election by the student body will
probably take place the first of the week. The
following nominations were made:

now been given. Those who delivered them
are :
Snow at Bath High School on "The Congo
Situation." Hawkesworth at Yarmouth Acad-
emy on "The Optimism of Browning." Rob-
erts at Yarmouth Academy on "Luther
Burbank." Linnell at Thornton Academy
on "School and College Spirit." Boody

LIBRARY NOTES
A highly valued gift has been made to Bow-
doin College Library by Dr. William C. Mason
of Bangor, in a set of the silhouettes of the
Class of 1825. Only one other collection of
the youthful profiles taken of the famous men
who graduated in this class is known to be in
existence.
Among the books of interest that have been
added to" the library this week are seven vol-
umes of the new Library Edition of John Rus-
kin's Works. This new edition is to consist
of thirty volumes, each of which is printed on
the best paper and is beautifully illustrated,
chiefly with reproductions of Ruskin's sketches
and paintings. Only two thousand of these
sets are on sale, and it is, therefore, an
extremely valuable collection of books. The
library has also just received three little books
by Anthony Trollope, Aristotle's "Theory of
Conduct," and a report of the "Hearings on
Hazing at Annapolis," presented by Hon. A.
L. Allen, '60.

CIVIC DUTIES IN OUR COLLEGES
The following correspondence between Mr.
E. O. Achorn, '81, and David R. Porter,
Bowdoin's Rhodes scholarship student, will
be of interest to Bowdoin, not only for the
subject matter, but also as coming from Mr.
Porter :
Boston, Jan. 18, 1906.
Mr. David R. Porter, Trinity College, Oxford.
My dear Mr. Porter : In an address before the
Bowdoin Club of Boston this fall, I made the state-
ment that American college graduates were remiss
in their civic duties, and that in my opinion the
English university student took a deeper interest in
English politics and was more familiar with the pol-
icies of the government and platforms of the various
parties than our students were with those of our
country. Mr. Edward Stanwood took issue with
me on this. I based my opinion on personal
observation and certain comments made by Mr.
Bryce recently while in this country. As you are
in Oxford I should like to know what impression
you have ga:ned of this matter ; and may I publish
your reply, with this inquiry, in the Orient? I am
sure it would be of interest to Bowdoin men.
Very sincerely yours,
Edgar O. Achorn.
Mr. Edgar 0. Achorn, Boston.
My dear Mr. Achorn : I was very glad to receive
your inquiry a few days ago as to the relative inter-
est and information of American and English Uni-
versity students about politics. It is a thing I have
often thought of myself but I fear that even now I
cannot give any very sweeping comparisons. I
believe that many people make definite assertions in
regard to differences of the two countries based on
analogies which anything more than superficial
thought will show to be false. This has been
recently done in comparing students of American
and English universities. But there is a vast dif-
ference in the personnel of the colleges of England
and New England. Bowdoin College, for instance,
is made up of many classes of men. A surprisingly
large number of the students come from farms or
small villages where they have have had few educa-
tional advantages. All their spare time has been
spent in physical work of some kind, either at home
duties or in earning money to pay their college
expenses. Many come from homes where the library
is very limited and most of the environments are
local.
In England, Oxford and Cambridge, the great
typical universities, are mostly made up of the
"upper middle class;" men to whom the word
"work" connotes nothing more than learning a page
of Vergil for punishment; whose weekly allowance
covers every possible expenditure, and who from
their earliest days have had an intimate acquaint-
ance with the best tutelage and literature.
Mr. Bryce says somewhere that the "glory of the
American universities" is that they are accessible
to every kind of citizen ; but this is not from the
nature of things conducive to a universal student
knowledge of general subjects such as national or
international politics.
After carefully making this deduction, however,
I think that your opinion that American college
students take less interest in politics than their
English cousins, is correct. I should say the reason
for this is the vast expanse of our national territory,
which allows us no real political center. Every
State is a unit in itself, and our newspapers are
local in scope and interest. I suppose it can be said
that we have not a single national daily.
in England the chief universities are within an
hour's ride of the great capital, and there is hardly
a home in the country that cannot have the Times
brought up with breakfast. Again, the conversa-
tion more naturally turns on national problems if
mo.st of your associates have parents or relatives
who are guiding the affairs of the country.
This whole sphere of student life seems to be
almost untouched in America, unless it is by the
growing interest in debating, which tends to bring
men face to face with real problems.
The great life purpose of an English college stu-
dent, too, often differs from ours. I think it is safe
to say that the highest ideal of the majority of the
students here is to spend his life in the service of
the empire, in either secular or church management.
The men of the largest calibre look forward to polit-
ical life ; the late prime minister is well known
from his philosophic work, "Foundations of Belief;"
a high place in the new cabinet is given to the
author of the remarkable essay, "The Holy Roman
Empire." and the well-known "American Common-
wealth." Somehow it seems almost inconsistent
to think of the possibility of the leader of Tam-
many Hall devoting much time to historical or phil-
osophical researches.
The highest reward that a British university
graduate can receive is to pass the rigid examina-
tions for admission to the Civil Service of India.
A friend of mine told me a few days ago that he
would be glad when the next three years were over
so he could "get out to work in the colonies." I
am sure he was rather surprised that I did not look
forward to "helping the government care for the
Philippines."
I am not sure as you can make any use of these
desultory remarks ; if so, I shall be very glad.
Yours very sincerely,
David R. Porter,
Feb. 3, '06.

BASEBALL
Colby, 7; Bowdoin, 3.
Bowdoin lost its Ivy Day game with Colby
by a score of 7 to 3. The game was a very
loosely played contest on the part of Bowdoin,
the men showing an evident lack of practice
throughout. Sparks pitched, and although
his control was not of the best, the defeat can
in no wise be attributed to him, as the support
given was very discouraging.
Colby did not play a remarkably fast game,
but her errors were less costly and her hitting
more effective. Shaw pitched for the visit-
ors and his control was poor, but he managed
to keep Bowdoin's hits scattered and prevent
the piling up of a large score. The best work
for Colby was done by Coombs at center, who
played a remarkable fielding game.
For Bowdoin the batting of Stanwood and
the fielding of Hodgson were the best features.

Life in the dormitories this
New Proctors year has been the cleanest
and most orderly that the
college has known. The great improvement
has been due mainly to the pressure of manly
undergraduates who have themselves ably
handled the few cases which needed discipline.
A strong sentiment has been developed which
condemns disorder and the destruction of col-
lege property as childish, disloyal and wholly
unbecoming the Bowdoin ideal of a gentleman.
The college believes that the students will
themselves for their own comfort and self-
respect, as well as for the good name of the
college, strengthen this manly sentiment, and
show in the coming year how effective student
self-government can be at Bowdoin. Accord-
ingly, the maintenance of good order in the
dormitories is to be placed in the hands of the
students, represented by a board of six proc-
tors, chosen from among those who shall be
Seniors in the coming college year. The one
Faculty member, Professor Foster, will be
Chairman of the Board. The six men who
have been chosen from among the students —
Allen, Bass, Snow, Haley, Hupper, Vorhees —
have the confidence and esteem of the whole
college. That such men, in their Senior year,
are willing to give up the attractions of fra-
ternity-house life for the sake of serving the
college in this important matter assures success
for the plan. These men will be strong forces
in the "ends" for manly conduct and fair
treatment to all ; and they will be regarded as
college officers, with the authority necessary
for making the coming year in the dormitories
as much better than this year as this year has
been better than the one before. It remains
for the student body as a whole to accept the
responsibility placed upon them as Bowdoin
men and justify the confidence of the College.
Concerning Our
Medical School
There has been a
proportion of college
graduates in the Maine
Medical School in recent years, and although
the classes have been becoming somewhat
smaller of late than they were formerly, due
probably to the longer courses of study and
the greater requirements, and no doubt also
to the establishment of several new medical
schools in various parts of the country, yet
the quality of the classes, as a whole, have
been greatly "improved. There is no vocation
or profession, it will be generally admitted, for
which there should be more careful and
thorough preparation. The scope and inter-
ests of the medical profession are constantly
extending, and those who undertake its exact-
ing and responsible duties must of necessity
be men, and women also, of liberal education,
broad training and the highest intelligence.
BOWDOIN ORIENT

Hence there has been more and more effort
on the part of prospective physicians to more
satisfactorily fit themselves for their life work
by laying a broad and solid foundation at the
outset. This has been insisted on by the officers
in charge of our medical institutions, and
with excellent results. The tendency is grow-
ing in medical circles to require the A.B.
degree of those who wish to pursue the study
of medicine, and college graduates are wel-
comed in all medical schools.
In the Maine Medical School, the curricu-
lum has been continually broadening, the
number of professors and instructors
increased, the equipment enlarged, and the
courses of study extended. Not so very long
ago the course of study covered a period of
six months in each year for three years, the
class of 1899 having been, the last to graduate
under the three-year system. In 1904 the
course was lengthened two months, the term
beginning in October, so that now practically
32 months of study is the requirement for the
M.D. degree, whereas it was only 18 months
up to within a few years. Thus many impor-
tant advances and marked progress have been
made. In looking over the statistics of recent
classes, it is found that in the class of 1905
there were 18 graduates, 9 of whom, or 50 per
cent., had college degrees, — 8 A.B. and 1
B.S. In the Medical School at present there
are registered 80 students, 26 of whom, or
about one-third, have the degrees A.B. or
B.S., there being but three with the latter
degree. They are as follows : Fourth year,
17 members, 7; third year, 20 members, 4;
second year, 25 members, 12; first year, 18, 4.
The second year class has the largest propor-
tion of college graduates among the classes in
the school at the present time, and one of the
largest representations within the history of
the institution. One of the A.B. students
enrolled in the first year class is also taking
second year work. Two of the members of
the first year class will receive the A.B. degree
from Bowdoin College at the present year
Commencement. There are several members
of the class of 1907 in Bowdoin who have sig-
nified their intentions of entering upon the
medical course here next autumn. The pres-
ent arrangement of allowing students in the
literary department of the college to complete
both courses and receive both degrees in. seven
years, appeals to several in each Senior Class,
and the recently inaugurated plan of permit-
ting those who have taken the first two years
in the medical school to enter the Junior Class
in the literary department, obtain, the A.B.
degree in two years, and complete both
courses in six years is being taken advantage
of by some students, and several others have
been inclined to try and accomplish this work.
The increasing number of college gradu-
ates pursuing the medical course has been the
important factor in bringing the members of
the two departments of the college into closer
relationship, which has been attended with
many beneficial results.
It is recognized more fully each succeeding
year that the more careful and complete the
preparation, for the medical profession, the bet-
ter it will be for the protection of the public,
and for the reputation and success of the med-
ical practitioners.
NEW SUBSCRIPTION SYSTEM
The Football Association is considering a
plan by which a football subscription of five
dollars or more for the season of 1906 will
entitle a person to a season ticket. This ticket
will admit to the Bates, Exeter, Fort McKin-
ley and all other home games with the excep-
tion of the Colby games. In order to be able
to use this system of football subscriptions a
large majority of the students in college must
agree to subscribe five dollars or more.
Papers have been started in the different fra-
ternities to see how many are willing to sup-
port such a system if it can be inaugurated.
This system would not only be helpful to the
management but also beneficial to the student
body. Similar plans have been tried in other
colleges and have worked well, and there
seems to be no reason why Bowdoin should
not have such a system if the students will
support it.

practiced medicine in Brownville, leaving to
take a larger practice in Lovell, which he held
for two years. At the end of that time he

VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, AUGUST 24, 1906
NO. 10
Commencement, 1906
The "Baccalaureate Sermon
Commencement began with the baccalaureate ser-
mon by President Hyde, on Sunday, June 24.
President Hyde spoke from the subject "No Pull
for Place, but Endurance for Service," and the
sermon was listened to with careful attention from
beginning to end. His text was as follows :
"And there come near unto Him James and John
the sons of Zebedee. saying unto Him, Master we
would that thou shouldst do for us whatsoever we
shall ask of thee. And He said unto them, What
would ye that I should do for you? And they said
unto Him, Grant us that we may sit, one on thy
right hand, and one on thy left, in thy glory. But
Jesus said unto them, ye know not what ye ask.
Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to
be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized
with? And they said unto Him, We are able. And
Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall
drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized
withal shall ye be baptized ; but to sit on my right
hand and on my left hand, is not mine to give, but
it is for them for whom it hath been prepared.
Mark : x : 35-40."
President Hyde said in part:
"Favoritism and pull rule the little surface things.
But- deep down in the realities the big things are
reserved for the toil and service that rise to the
height of perpetual sacrifice. There are no places
to give away on the athletic teams or on the teach-
ing staff ; no openings in remunerative business or
positions of influence in politics for the man who
merely wants the honors or emoluments. These
places are reserved for the men who combine the
industry and energy, the firmness and tact; the
courage and consecration which make the effective
holding of these positions a perpetual act of labor
and sacrifice. Even the dear joys of home and
family are not to be had on cheaper terms ; and the
selfish creatures who expect to get something for
nothing are doomed to disappointment. Happy
homes are reserved for those who can rise above
their natural selfishness and merge their individual-
ity in memberhip in a larger life. A self-seeking,
pull-working Christianity is a contradiction in
terms. There is no heaven here or hereafter for the
people who seek for it directly, and want God to
give it to them ready made. God gives us the stuff
to make a heaven out of. The imperfection of the
world is its glory; for it is man's opportunity to
make the soil fruitful, and the mineral useful ; 10
make the fibre into cloth and the timber to shelter ;
to make the earth a highway and the sea a bond
between man and man ; to give and take in fair
exchange what one produces and another wants ; to
bring together individuals in families, and families
in states, and states in nations, and establish justice
and good will over all ; to create beauty of form and
expression; to discover truth; to hand down these
discoveries from one generation to another; to
apply the laws of health and healing; to care for the
poor and unfortunate; to train the ignorant, and
to correct the depraved; to unite men in common
enthusiasm and to lift them in their highest capac-
ity ; this is the God-given task of man. to find one's
station and function of largest usefulness in this
vast work; to do it with one's might; to care not
whether it be great or small, conspicuous or
obscure, so it be the part especially given to us;
and to do as well as it can be done; to take the
criticism it brings good-naturedly; to bear defeat
without discouragement; loss without depression,
persecution without resentment, knowing that_ what-
ever befalls us the Lord's good work is going on
and we have our little share in His great_ triumph —
this is the only and all-sufficient seat in heaven
which Christ has reserved for each faithful fol-
lower.
"Members of the graduating class : Ask of God
and the world only the chance to do your best; do
that with all your might; with firmness and cour-
age ; yet with gentleness and love. All the powers
of selfishness and courage; all the forces of jealousy
and malice; all the criticisms of imcompetence and
insincerity will soon or later assail the man who
speaks the truth as he sees it; who does the
thing that needs to be done; who tries to fit the
thing he stands for ; not into the favor of this man,
or the pocket of that man, but into the genuine
service of all men; and the impartial will of the
one good God. This is the cup that every honest
worker must drink; and the wider his responsibility
the deeper and more bitter does this cup become.
That is the baptism in which every brave follower
of Christ must be impressed. And the depth and
volume of criticism and condemnation such a man
brings on himself from the self-seeking, place-hunt-
ing, money-loving, time-serving multitude, is a
pretty accurate measure of his service to the world
and his fidelity to his Lord.
"That is the price of being generous and just.
Christ paid it to the full: And we must pay it too,
if we are to be sharers in his great life which here
and everywhere is Heaven. But it is a
small price to pay for the glorious fellowship it
brings. To know that you are one of God's faith-
ful workers in the world; that you are one with
Chirst and all true Christians ; that have been or
shall be, Catholic or Protestant, conscious of their
nominal connection with him, or unconsciously
doing the will of their unnamed and unknown Lord
— this is a heaven here and now within the soul,
which makes every yoke of duty easy and every
burden of sacrifice a joy.
"I commend to each one of you the cup and
92
BOWDOIN ORIENT
baptism of Christ. Make sure that your place and
function in the world is precisely what he would
have it ; make sure, in other words, that you are
making the best contribution to the glory of the
world and the welfare of men that your capacity
permits — and that assurance will bear you cheer-
fully, serenely, triumphantly through whatever of
trial and vexation, hostility and hate, this still
imperfect world, and the still undeveloped^ people
in it. may have in store for you."
Class Day Exercises
The class day exercises proved themselves one
of the most pleasing events of the week, there
being a large attendance, and everything contribut-
ing to make the day a success.
Charles Wesley Hawkesworth
&he Oration
By C. W. Hawkesworth.
Mr. Hawkesworth took for his subject "The
Principle of Non-Resistance," and spoke in part as
follows :
"The principle of non-resistance is not a popular
principle. But little is written about it, but still it
has been the underlying principle of educational
progress. Corporal punishment among progressive
teachers is a thing of the past. To-day schools and
colleges are finding out what the scholar takes to
naturally and arc not attempting to drive him to
study courses which he has no liking for. Courses
are being made to fit the nature rather than nature
being made to fit the courses. Where the elective
system has been introduced students are taking
courses which are akin to their natures and thus
keep alive the fires of youth.
"The final step in the principle of non-resistance
is seen in what is known as the honor system.
Because constant watching has not brought the
desired results an appeal has been made to the
student honor. The heart of the student is difficult
to reach, the students being distrustful of the
teachers on account of the many years that they
have been distrusted, but the honor system is
rapidly growing in favor.
The principle of non-resistance does not depend
on whether it can be enforced to-day or to-morrow,
but whether it is the highest ideal of life given us
to conceive."
In this way Mr. Hawkesworth showed how it
applied to the highest educational systems. He then
explained the methods used by John L. Whitman,
jailor of the Cook County, 111., jail, who is known
as the man tamer, and in whose method punishment
plays no part. The system has been very successful
in managing prisoners.
In conclusion he showed how the principle which
applies in the college and the jail, the two greatest
extremes imaginable, and applying in those that
it would necessarily apply in all conditions of
soc:ety.
The Opening Address
By C. L. Favinger.
Mr. Favinger spoke as follows :
In looking for suitable words with which to greet
you this afternoon. I have been unable to find any
Charles Luff Favinger
which could express all I wish to convey to your
minds. It would be easy to say "welcome," but
the word has become such an inexpressive one that
I shall leave to your own selection the phraseology
of the greeting I wish to convey to you in behalf
of my class.
Being assured, then, that we are glad to have jou
here, let us consider the position the class of 1906
will be expected to take as graduates of Bowdoin
College. From these pleasant surroundings we
must go out to become real citizens, and to face at
BOWDOIN ORIENT
93
first hand the practical problems of citizenship in a
free republic.
In these days we hear much of the college man
in politics, in law and in business, but little of the
really vital position which he holds as a plain cit-
izen. When we are reminded of the exceedingly
small number of college-bred men in proportion to
the whole population we can readily see how large
is the practcal field open to such men, and how
great are the possibilities for usefulness. The
opportunities are absolutely unlimited, and the
claims of the commun'ty upon the college graduate
are of no slight consequence. No other class of
men in the world have greater opportunities than
\\ e have. Fathers and mothers make sacrifices to
keep us here ; magnificent buildings are erected and
equipped for our exclusive use ; and highly trained
specialists are paid to train us. Justly, then, may
we be expected to make some small return for all
these benefits. Surely they are not given for the
purpose of men to live for themselves alone. Rather
are they given that the highest welfare of society
may be conserved and the continued existence of
the republic assured. And these objects may be
reached only by the active interest of college men
in the affairs of their respective communities.
What, then, are the specific lines of activity which
justly claim their interest? One of the highest of
these duties is to fight for absolute honesty in
polit'cs. One need not be a politician to perform
this service. He need but identify himself with the
better class of people in the effort to educate the
masses up to a high standard of civic virtue. Every
man should attend the primary elections and see to
it that his influence and vote are cast with those
candidates whose records of honesty and efficient
public service are unstained. It is the primary
elections that corruption originates, for, if the men
who are chosen there are thoroughly honest, the
honesty of higher officers must follow. The college
man has, then, an excellent opportunity to place his
stamp upon the political life of his community.
But not in political affairs alone should his influ-
ence be evident. The public schools should also
receive a large share of his attention. To-day in
almost every progressive town or city a hard
struggle is going on for the perfection of the
schools. Educational leaders must fight for almost
every innovation. Larger salaries are needed for
the teachers ; rrtore efficient administration is
demanded ; and these things are not secured simply
because the taxpayers do not fully understand the
significance of education in a free republic like
ours. They must be brought to see the necessity of
these things. Each man, therefore, who goes out
from this college should go as a missionary in ttie
cause of popular education through the medium of
well equipped schools. He may not be able to
accomplish all he works for, but, if he allies himself
with progressive forces his efforts cannot be wholly
lost.
Closely allied to the schools in every town and
hamlet are the churches. The schools and the
churches go hand in hand for the promotion of the
republican form ideal. Remove either from the
community, and degeneration must follow. Unfor-
tunately the churches do not to-day have the sup-
port of all the men best fitted to help them. The
men who ought to fill the pews leave them to be
filled by women and children or not at all. Here,
then, is another chance for good service. It should
be the college man's aim to support the churches in
such a way that his influence may clearly aid them
in promoting the Christian life of the community.
Few men would care to live where the churches
have ceased to exist. It is therefore, their duty to
support what they would not do without.
The church and the school furnish the incentives
to still another line of activity in which the college
man may make his influence count for something
practical. I refer to civic improvement. Various
public journals have already initiated a movement
whose object is the beautifying of towns and cities.
But thev have a hard task before them : for the
tendency of the masses is to disregard the social
claims upon them, and to thwart the efforts of those
who would live amid attractive surroundings. The
college man can lend a hand in this laudable effort
and thus render invaluable service to his fellows.
These are but a few of the more important duties
of each man who leaves this college. There are,
however, many more which every man of worth
will have to meet in one form or another. If he is
true to the ideals of the college, he will not shirk
them. Rather will he give his best efforts for their
accomplishment ; and by so doing bring credit upon
himself and honor to his Alma Mater.
The ideal of the college is to send out into the
world men well equipped, not for a particular pro-
fession, but for complete citizenship — men who can
rise above the narrow claim of self and respond to
the larger claims of society. For this object the
college keeps a man four years and rightly expects
him to do his duty when his four years are past.
In view of this ideal, my classmates, guard with
jealous care the trust committed to you by Bowdoin
College, remembering always that the institution
can rise higher or more efficient position than those
whom it has carefully trained.
To you who have assembled here I can only say
that we are happy to have you with us.
The Closing Address
By H. P. Winslow.
"At such a time in such a place as this.
Here, where a melancholy whisper comes
From the thin breezes yearning toward sea;
Where wistful sighs of long remembrance stir
The bosom of the low murmuring pines ;
Here, where a thousand varied memories
Rise up to waken pride or touch regret — "
We come to say "good-bye." Twice two happy
years we have passed here beneath the pines, and
now we must depart as we came, each traveling his
own way and alone. As we look back on the many
bright, careless days of college life, we realize what
they have been and what they might have been to us,
but that now the time has come to pay the last
respects to friendship. We cannot but help feel mel-
ancholy at such a time when we think that some of
us here will never see the old campus again, and
94
BOWDOIN ORIENT
that as we shake hands with friends and classmates
now we may be doing so for the last time. We
have, however, seen three classes graduate and we
know that those so happy here now will soon fol-
low us. We know that those whom we leave behind
to fill our places will in a little while be taking their
departure also. Just as these halls will cease to
echo to the sound of our voices so will they cease to
echo to theirs. And we derive a certain sad, conso-
lation from this common fellowship in the thought
that fate treats all alike.
We came as individuals and now we must part as
individuals, but we do not part as we came, for we
now have something in common and dear to us all.
and that something is the love of Old Bowdoin. It
Harvey Philip Winslow
has been infused into us until it has become a very
part of our nature, and it is that bond which will
ever hold us together. As the heart-beats of a trav-
eler in a foreign land quicken at the mention of his
native country, so will we ever fill with pride at the
sound of the name we love and honor.
College life is memory now and to-day we go
forth into the world with greater confidence in our-
selves and brighter hopes for the future, believing,
as Shakespeare says, that
"There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune."
And that
"On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And that we must take the current when it serves
Or lose our ventures."
To-day
"The mirror is turned forward to reflect
The promises of the future, not the past."
And as we look we see our ways for the most part
to be hard and difficult. A few will perhaps achieve
success, but the names of far the greater number
will go down in years to come marked "Unknown."
All we ask, however, is that from out our number
one name may be added to the list of fame for the
sake of "Old Bowdoin." If this be done then we shall
feel that the great debt we owe her is at least par-
tially paid.
As we have tried to do our duty by our college so
must we now devote our energies to the interests of
our nation. As President Roosevelt has said : "A
heavy moral obligation rests upon the men of learn-
ing to do their duty by their country. And on no
one class does this obligation rest more heavily than
upon the men' of the collegiate education."
"To-day the land has bitter need of us.
Those to whom knowledge is given stand in
double trust.
Guardians of liberty and of the right."
There are two parts to a college education. One
is that which is obtained in the classroom from the
professors, while the other is that derived from the
association with fellow students. And it is the lat-
ter which is the more important part. For the first
we can only make you scholars, while the latter
makes you men. It is men that our country wants.
And may Bowdoin ever be proud, as she always has
■ a rght to be, of the gifts she makes to her country.
Alma Mater, we bid thee farewell. Never shall
we be able to repay thee for the blessings which
thou hast bestowed upon us. Thy sons ? As thou
hast protected and cared for us, so may we ever
honor and cherish thy name, for
"What were we if we were stripped of Thee
Thou who unto our calmer souls hast given
Knowledge, Truth and Holy Mystery?"
The Class Ode
J. A. Bartlett.
We sing, good fellowship we sing
Under our good oak tree ;
Loud, loud let all our voices ring
In loyal unity.
For light of Bowdoin rises bright,
Glad sun to all the world
It gleams upon our banner white,
To God's own winds unfurled.
To world of men, from world of youth
There leads a broad highway,
Where love of strength and dauntless truth
Shall guide us through the day.
And may we keep our symbol bright,
Though painfully we go.
And seeking, find the greater light
In God's deep heart aglow.
The Poem
James Wingate Sewall.
The poem was by J. W. Sewall of Oldtown, and
was as follows :
Our college, shadowed by the pines,
The waving, softly-speaking pines,
That call with joy the morning tide
Stretching their hands into the sun
BOWDOIN ORIENT
%
To welcome {he gorgeous day ;
That slowly sing the evensong,
Bowing their head as though in prayer,
To bid the lingering light farewell, —
Our college now — as oft before —
Another parting honors thee
With what small honor it may give,
While we go forth to greet the world,
And this our earnest, heartfelt prayer
As we go out from thee : "May we
Be of their nature faithful sons —
Men understanding fellow-men
And knowing world realities.
James Wingate Sewall
And yet, more mystic, holding sweet
The speculation of the dreams
Of lovers, poets, and their kind.
Whom reveries and visions hold
With thoughts ideal and fancies fair;
So thy true sons we pray to be —
Dreamers of dreams, yet doers of deeds !"
Into the East of Life we look,
Where life in truth has just begun ;
So, standing on the mountain height,
Whose eastern front in veiled in mist
And rainbow glints from out the sun,
Whose eastern slope is fair to view,
All built of distance-mellowed green,
The wanderer sees the glowing day —
In fairest rose the dawn breaks forth,
Sweet as blushes seem, before
They cloy upon the satiate sense, —
And lo ! of sudden, hill and dale
Outleap from their obscurity,
While objects near are soft with dew,
And those afar are soft with light,
Half-veiled in sweet, mysterious mist
As heaven his bride, the earth, would kiss,
When all the land is like the dream
Of him who wrote the Paradise :
As hushed in awe the wanderer stands
So we, spell bound, in silence gaze,
Enraptured, peering down the paths
Of life, that stretch far, far before,
While dew of youth lends sweetness near,
And light of hope shade future joy.
Yet — as we look — the old, old days
Come sweeping back with memories !
We remember old nights on the campus
When the ground was white with snow,
And the trees sang songs above us
Like ghosts in the pale star-glow,
Like skalds of long ago.
We remember old nights on the campus
When summer was in the air
And the joy of youth swelled in us
And oh ! but the world was fair !
To live in, to die in, to dare.
You, companions, heart friends,
You must hold it dear.
Bowdoin's starlit campus,
Fairer with each year.
Lounging on the benches
Out by old Maine Hall,
Song and chat and laughter
Over one and all !
Voices on the campus
In the summer eves,
Song and chat and laughter —
Moonlight in the leaves.
You, alumnus, older,
You must hold it dear,
Bowdoin's starlit campus.
Bringing youth so near.
Old Bowdoin, thou givest thy sons a glorious gift !
The privilege of being linked through thee,
To those far-famous names of days gone by.
Thy worthy sons — Greet men of mighty mould
Whoever on thy name some glory shed.
For who would scorn associations' boon.
Or who decry the reverence of age?
Or dare compare the sapling strength of youth.
So quickly grown, so easy ripe, and bent
By every passing, fitful gentle breeze,
With thy vast rugged strength, the growth of years?
Oh, Bowdoin, I sing thee not a tender mother,
Whose kindness must be that of womankind,
And who, through loving, must be too kind!
But rather as a father, strong and wise,
Who rules his sons and teaches them the ways
Of men, and spareth not the needed rod,
Nor yet doth spare true praise when honor's due,
Nor fears to say to one who earns, "Well done."
Ah ! much there is in that "well done ;"
Praise is good when battle's won,
Faces grow gay at night
As though they caught the glowing light
Of the setting sun.
For thou art rugged, honest and sincere,
Thy work is thorough and thy work is good.
I praise our college, mighty Bowdoin,

of a delay in the arranging for

Delayed Orient
Football Schedule
The Orient prints in another
column the football schedule
for the fall series of games.
The schedule is somewhat dif-
ferent from those of recent years in that it embraces
games with teams which Bowdoin has not before
met. Perhaps the most important is that with
Cornell, which will take place at Ithaca. This trip
to New York will be one of the longest ever under-
taken by a Bowdoin athletic team, but the arrange-
ments are such that it will be less fatiguing than
that of the Amherst trip, which is given up this
year for the first time. Very satisfactory terms
have been arranged with the New York institution
and there seems to be every reason to feel pleased
with this new game.
The other new feature will be the game with
Wesleyan. For several years attempts have been
made by both Bowdoin and Wesleyan to secure
games with each other, particularly in baseball, but
not until now have the managers succeeded in bring-
ing about such an arrangement. Of all the New
England colleges no two perhaps are better fitted to
meet each other in intercollegiate contests than
Bowdoin and Wesleyan and that such a contest has
at last been arranged is very pleasing. The
Orient congratulates Manager Allen and the col-
lege on its new schedule.
CLASS POEM— (Continued from page 95.]
The spirit that lives on and on for age,
While men, both old and young, but fade away.
The college that is like the fatherland,
The college we must reverence and adore.
Ah ! forgive, forgive this poor week pen,
That cannot yield thee half thy due,
But only to itself be true
And pray thy pardon at the end.
The Alumni Dinner
At the close of the exercises in the church the
procession was formed again and proceeded up
Maine Street under the elms and in through the
Class of '75 gates to Memorial Hall where the Com-
mencement dinner was served. There were about
, fjob Bowdoin graduates in the line by classes, and
their cheering and singing drowned the music of
the band most of the time during the march across
the campus. Once in upper Memorial Hall they were
seated at the six long tables where the excellent din-
ner was enjoyed. On the stage were President
Hyde, the guests of the occasion and leading mem-
bers of the governing boards. When the president
called the great gathering to order after the dinner
was over he was greeted with a great and long-
continued outburst of enthusiasm. The alumni,
young and old, leaped to their seats and cheered
again and again in token of their love, esteem and
confidence for the great educator for over 20 years
at the head of old Bowdoin. He spoke briefly in
review of the year, mentioning especially the $125,-
000 received in gifts during the year and announcing
a new gift of $2 000 from the Class of '81 to establish
a scholarship. He then announced that the beauti-
ful big bronze and gold loving cup given by David
W. Snow, '73'., as a reunion trophy to be given to the
class having the largest percentage of its members
back at Commencement had been won by the Class
of '76. This class, which graduated thirty years
ago, had 23 members back out of 39 living, giving it
a percentage of .58 9-10. The class ranking next
was given honorable mention. It was the Class of
'96 which had 27 men back out of 46 living, giving
it a percentage of .58 7-10. There was great applause
and cheering over the announcement, the two classes
between which the competition was so close cheer-
ing each other over and over. Many classes had
over 50 per cent, of their men back and several of
BOWDOIN ORIENT
97
the later classes had actually more men than '76 or
'96, though a less proportion.
The speakers of the afternoon were Congressman
Littlefield who had been made a Doctor of Laws at
the morning exercises ; President Fellows of the
University of Maine whose special farming train
stopped at the station to allow him to be present ;
General Hubbard, '57, who paid a splendid tribute to
his classmate, General Francis Fessenden, who died
in Portland last year ; Hon. C. F. Libby, '64, of
Portland, who spoke for the overseers ; Prof. H. L.
Chapman, '66, who was given one of the most
tumultuous greetings of the day by the hundreds of
alumni who love him so well and whose speech was
a gem of wit and eloquence ; Tascus Atwood ,'76, of
Auburn, who spoke for the class which won the
reunion trophy; Judge F. A. Fisher, '81, of Lowell,
Mass., who spoke for the class of a quarter of a
century ago ; W. V. Wentworth, '86, of Great
Works, who spoke for the class of twenty years
ago ; and Hon. C. A. Knight, '96, mayor of Gardi-
ner, who spoke for the class of ten years ago which
came within two-tenths of one per cent, of winning
the trophy.The speeches were of a high order and
each speaker was warmly received and applauded.
It was about 3 when the speaking was over and the
600 happy sons of old Bowdoin went out of the hall
to the beautiful campus and another most successful
Commencement was at an end. Most of the big
crowd of graduates left Brunswick on the after-
noon and evening trains while the newly graduated
class went to Casco Castle in the evening for their
farewell meeting and banquet. Friday and Satur-
day will be days of packing up and departure.

The Medical Graduation
The graduation exercises of the Medical School
of Maine took place Wednesday at 10 a.m., and as it
was the only event at that hour, drew the greater
part of the visitors to the college church. There was
also quite a large number of friends of the "Medics"
in the number.
The men who were to graduate formed in line in
front of the Medical building, shortly before 10
o'clock and headed by Payne's band started on the
march to the church. A section in the front of the
edifice had been reserved for them, the men march-
ing up the center aisle, and the band taking its posi-
tion in the south balcony. After a musical selec-
tion prayer was offered by Rev. John C. Perkins of
Portland, followed by the address of Rev. Raymond
Calkins of the State Street Church of Portland.
Mr. Calkins' address was one of the strongest
that has been heard in a long time. He dwelt largely
on what he considered to be essential attributes of
a truly successful life. He said that a man's power
may be judged by his work as it is projected through
his personality.
This involved two things. First, the kind of
work to which we are adapted, and secondly the
kind of men we are. This latter factor he believed
after all to be the great one. He then discussed
what goes to make the real man. He said that there
was a large compass of soul and a fineness of moral
fibre which go to make a man and must always con-
tribute to the strong personality, thus learning the
great factor in success, whatever the business or
profession of the individual.
He said that the true man should have the four
qualities of reverence, awe, humility and faith.
These things are the fountains from which all that
is best in man's make-up must necessarily flow. He
said there might be a certain feeling of opposition
to these sentiments in undergraduate days, but that
the experiences of the world soon taught a man that
there were certain great factors in life that never
could be subjected to mere reason, and that only so
far as an individual learned to recognize this did
he put himself in a position to become one of the
strongest and best men in a community.
He said the medical men and scientific men of to-
day, are perhaps the most reverent men in a commu-
nity. Through their investigations they come face
to face with the great mysteries of life, and the nat-
ural result was reverence.
Mr. Calkins dwelt on the necessity of unselfish-
ness and generosity to attain to the highest and
asserted that r.o man could build safely on a narrow
selfish foundation. They are shams which are soon
discovered.
He spoke of the statement made of Gladstone,
that he was engrossed in politics, but that he never
became submerged in them, and the speaker thought
no man should become submerged in his profession
to lose sight of the greater and more important
things of life.
Following the address the members of the gradu-
ating class marched onto the platform where they
were presented with their diplomas by Dr. Mitchell,
dean of the Maine Medical school, after which they
filed out, led by the class marshal.
There are 17 men graduating from the Medical
school this year : Their names and residences are as

BOWDOIN ORIENT
PRESIDENT HYDE'S NEW BOOK
President Hyde's latest book, "The College
Man and the College Woman," is receiving
the highest praise from the reviewers and
many call it an even stronger work than his
"From Epicurus to Christ."
The following review from trie Boston
Advertiser is handed to the Orient by a
well-known alumnus, who believes it of an
excellence that warrants its appearance in the
Orient:
"In a book called 'the College Man and
the College Woman' are observations of a
sane and exceptionally vigorous educator,
President Hyde of Bowdoin, who deals with
the personal, ethical and spiritual side of col-
lege life. Taken as a whole, these chapters
represent what twenty years in a college have
taught about what students mean to be, and
what graduates may be expected to become.
'I trust,' he says in prefatory remarks, 'that
I may assure over-anxious parents that not
every aberration of their sons and daughters
while in college is either final or fatal, per-
suade critics of college administration that
our problem is not so simple as they seem to
think ; and inspire the public with the con-
viction, cherished by every college officer that
college students, with all their faults and fol-
lies are the best fellows in the world ; and
that notwithstanding much crude speculation
about things human and some honest skepti-
cism concerning things divine1, the great
social institutions of family and industry and
church and state may be safely intrusted to
their hearts and hands.'
"Dr. Hyde is convinced that the main reli-
ance of a college for its moulding of men and
women is not preaching or exhortation, or
rules and regulations, least of all threats and
penalties ; 'but actually living in an atmos-
phere of freedom, where each person has
returned to him frankly, swiftly, mercilessly,
the social judgment that his acts invite and
his character deserves.' It holds most, then,
for the average man, who is most in need of
moulding. The best spiritual beverage for
college youth, as Dr. Hyde would brew it is a
blend of Greek sanity and Christian service.
Of the Greek spirit he makes much. Touch-
ing the question of benefits and bruises in
co-education, his opinion may be understood
from these lines : 'I have ventured to recog-
nize that fact that man and woman are not
just alike, and to suggest that what God has
put asunder man cannot satisfactorily join
together.' 'Is a college education,' we often
hear, 'good for a girl?' Dr. Hyde answers
in his chapter on 'The Choice of the College
Women :' 'If college women remain college
women, and try to bring the world to them,
they will be very unhappy ; but if they go
into the world forgetting that they are differ-
ent from other people they will be the happi-
est persons there.' The situation in a nut-
shell. The college woman who uppishly
refuses to clasp hands with her environment
is a failure, not because of education, but
through her ignorance of its value- Other
subjects treated are Alumni Ideals, The Col-
lege, Six Partners in College Administra-
tion, and The Personality of the Teacher.
Able and candid, Dr. Hyde is sure of being
widely read by professional educators and
other persons actively interested in educa-
tional problems."
LIBRARY NOTES
The Library received recently a very inter-
esting piece of old manuscript. It is addressed
to Sir William Phipps of New England, and
is an order from King William III. ordering
him to appear before the King's Council to
answer sundry charges of illegal and arbitrary
acts attributed to him. It is dated Whitehall,
February 5, 1694, and is written and signed
by the King's Secretary, J. Trenchard.
The library has recently received from Mr.
W. G. Bowdoin, a proof of a cut made from
a block print of St. Christopher. This proof
is of interest because it is said that the orig-
inal block on which this cut was made, sug-
gested to Gutenberg the system of printing
by using small separate blocks, the invention
of which system is attributed to Gutenberg.
Among the books recently added to the
library may be mentioned : "American Men of
Science," edited by J. McK. Cartell; "Maine
from Maine," by F. C. Griffith; "Sir Christo-
pher Wrenn," by Lucy Phillimore ; and a set
of Charles Lever's novels in 26 volumes.
Among other books of note that have just
been added to the library are: "Standard Dic-
tionary of the English Language," in two
volumes, edited by Funk ; "Story of Bowdoin,
'96," written and presented by J. C. Minot,
'96; "Playing Cards of All Nations," written
and presented by W. G. Bowdoin ; "Science
and Health," a Christian-Scientist book by
BOWDOIN ORIENT
103
Mrs. Mary B. G. Eddy; and a large set of
Law Books which came from the estate of
John C. Dodge, '34, who died several years
ago.
Among the books that have been received by
the Library this year may be mentioned:
"Jacksonian Democracy" by Professor Mac-
Donald ; and the "Lives of the Popes" in three
volumes by H. K. Mann. Four small books
by Longfellow have been added this week to
the so-called "Longfellow Case."

A VISIT TO LAKE ASQUAM
[The Orient is pleased to print the following
description of a visit to the property recently pre-
sented to the President and Board of Trustees of
Bowdoin College by W. F. Langdon, '53, as a
memorial of his own regard and that of his
deceased brother for the college. The description
is from the pen of a classmate of Mr. Langdon at
Bowdoin.]
Your readers may be interested to know
something" of a trip recently taken by Pres-
ident Hyde in company with the writer. It
was undertaken at the invitation of Wood-
bury F. Langdon, Esq., of Plymouth, N. H.,
to visit him at his summer home at "Squam
Lake." Reaching Alton Bay by rail, then
by steamer across Winnepisaukee to Weirs,
we enjoyed the beauty of a lake which one
who has never seen "Asquam" would think
unsurpassed. At this point is the headquar-
ters of the New Hampshire Association of
Veterans, as well as a fine hotel, seated on
an eminence commanding a view of the
whole lake and its vicinity, an attractive
spot to lovers of good air and fine scenery.
Arriving later in the evening at Ashland,
N. H., we were met by our host and driven
to his home on Squam Lake (at Holderness,
N. IT. ) . The morning revealed a most
entrancing prospect. The Lake, some six
miles in average width and length, dotted
with islands, the thickly wooded shores, the
surrounding mountains, from "Rattlesnake"
and Ossipee, to the Franconias, and in the
dim distance the Presidential range with
Mount Washington overtopping all, dis-
closed a scene of beauty and grandeur rarely
equalled. Our poet Whittier, whose annual
rest was taken on a slope overlooking these
waters, thus sung of their loveliness:
"The shadows round the inland sea
Are deepening into night;
Slow up the slopes of Ossipee
They chase the lessening light.
Tired of the long day's blinding heat,
I rest my languid eye.
Lake of the hills ! Where, cool and sweet,
Thy sunset waters lie !
"O, gems of sapphire, granite set !
O, hills that charmed horizons fret !
I know how fair your morns can break,
In rosy light on isle and lake :
How over wooded slopes can view
The noonday play of cloud and sun,
And evening droop her oriflamme
Of gold and red in still Asquam."
On the shores and islands have been estab-
lished many summer camps, under the direc-
tion of various schools, where scores of youth
enjoy aquatic and athletic sports under lead-
ership which promotes physical development
without moral degeneracy. Specially inter-
esting visits were paid to establishments con-
nected with the Church School of Holder-
ness, and the Webster School of Boston,
which are supplied with ample accommoda-
tions, and provision for health and recreation.
The Groton School, co-operating in the noble
charity of St. George's Church, New York,
gives to groups of boys, whose ordinary
opportunities are limited, the uplift , and
encouragement of a life with nature.
The place to which our friend welcomed
us, contains about forty acres, on the slope
of a hill commanding a view of rare beauty
and sublimity, gently falling to the lake in a
deep cove. A commodious cottage, supplied
with every comfort, with limpid water from
a ' neighboring spring, was at our disposal,
and a farm house nearby and a "camp" afford
shelter for those who conduct the farming
operations. A motor launch conveyed us
about the lake, whose shores were visited so
far as time allowed.
Of the rare hospitality of the home, the
dainty meals, the refreshing rest of the cool
nights, above all the companionship of the
refined and accomplished ladies then consti-
tuting the household, it is impossible to speak
adequately.
But your readers may ask with reasonable
impatience "Why this long story?" The
answer shall be that of the sententious Capt.
Cuttle. "The bearing of this observation
lays in the application of it." Mr. W. F.
Langdon, the present owner of this property,
is a graduate of Bowdoin College of the Class
of 1853. His brother, John G., graduated in
1857, and is now survived by his son, who is
106
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
a successful architect in Boston. These with
the wife and sister of Mr. W. F. Langdon,
constitute the present family. Mr. Langdon,
with the cordial assent of his family, pro-
poses to convey this property, with the sole
condition of occupancy during life, to the
President and Trustees of Bowdoin, College
as a memorial of his own regard and that of
his deceased brother for the College, his wish
being that the property may be held for use
of the Faculty of the College.
Mr. Langdon is a grandnephew of Hon.
John Langdon, a former Governor of New
Hampshire, and a contemporary of Hon.
James Bowdoin, the benefactor of the Col-
lege which bears the family name.
In contemplating this generous proposal,
and the loyal affection of which it is the
expression, one recalls the words of that
greatest of American statesmen, cradled
among the lakes and hills of the Granite
State, spoken of his own Alma Mater: "It is
a small college, and yet there are those who
love it."
J. L C, 1853.
EXETER, 11; BOWDOIN, 5
Bowdoin played its third game of the
season on the Whittier Field last Saturday
with Exeter, and was defeated by the score
of n to 5. The game was the best exhibi-
tion of the new game in which Bowdoin has
been a contestant, and it was due to pro-
ficiency in the double pass and the quarter-
back kick that Exeter won the game.
The Bowdoin team played a fine game and
had it met with a good share of the luck that
goes with the new game the outcome might
have been a tie. The line did splendid work
throughout, and showed that it was the
strongest that Bowdoin has had in a number
of years at least.
Several of the men were not in the best of
condition while neither Drummond or Crow-
ley played right end, the former because of
injuries received in the Harvard game, and
the latter because of a misunderstanding
about his courses. Ellis played the position
and it is not too much to say that he did excel-
lent work, as indeed did the whole team.
Bowdoin won the toss and chose the east
goal. Hart kicked to Lee on the 5-yard line,
who run the ball down 15 yards. Bowdoin
failed to make her distance and on a fumble
of an attempted punt Exeter secured the ball
on Bowdoin's 8-yard line. The visitors could
not rush it over, however, and Bowdoin
secured the ball on downs. The teams con-
tinued to exchange punts until finally Bow-
doin punted the ball for 60 yards to Exeter's
25-yard line. Exeter could not gain and on
an attempted punt Stacey broke through and
blocked the punt, Draper falling on the ball
behind Exeter's goal post. Draper failed at
goal.
In the remainder of the half Bowdoin lost
the ball on her own 7-yard line on a fumble
and Exeter rushed the ball over for her first
touchdown.
The second half was largely a punting
exhibition and was characterized with the
successful working of the double pass by the
visitors. Finally on a quarterback kick on
the right side of the line from Bowdoin's 40-
yard line, Hurley took the ball over for a
touchdown. The line-up :

BOWDOIN, 6; ARTILLERY, 0
Bowdoin's football season opened on the
Whittier Field, Saturday, September 29, our
opponent being the Artillery team of Port-
land. The game was fiercely played, result-
ing in a victory for Bowdoin by the score of
6 to o. The contest was in the nature of a
tryout for the Bowdoin team, especially for
the new men who are candidates for the team
this year.
The visitors had one of the heaviest teams
that has played on the Whittier Field in a
long time and their team work was far supe-
rior to that which the Fort Preble team has
displayed in previous years.
Bowdoin showed that there was some
unusually promising material in the squad,

' HARVARD, 10; BOWDOIN, 0
Bowdoin lost her game with Harvard on
Wednesday of last week by the score of 10 to
o. Bowdoin played a hard, up-hill game and
in some respects outpointed Harvard.
All the luck was in favor of Harvard and
it was largely through this element that Har-
vard secured her points. The Bowdoin team
played excellent football and put up the best
game against Harvard that Bowdoin has
played in years.
SOPHOMORES, 9; FRESHMEN, 6
The first of the annual series of games
between the Sophomores and Freshmen was
held on the Delta, Saturday afternoon, and
resulted in a victory for the Sophomores by
the score of 9 to 6.
The teams were well matched, the Fresh-
men showing up well except in base running,
and it was their loose work in this department
that was largely responsible for their defeat.
There was more or less cheering and noise,
as usual, but the game passed off without
any great excitement. The summary :

NEW FOOTBALL CUP
Mr. James H. Home, '97, has presented to
the college, a large, and handsome silver cup
to be awarded to some football man excelling
in some special branch of the game, the
choice of the particular branch being left to
the judgment of this year's coach. Coach
Laferriere has decided to award the cup to
the best all-round kicker in the football squad
— either on the first or second team — the cup
to be held for one year by the man selected
by the coaches at the end of the season as its
proper holder. The cup is now on exhibition
in the trophy room. It is made of silver,
stands about eighteen inches high, and is
appropriately decorated with_a football player
standing on the lid.
Mr. Home has always been an enthusiastic
Bowdoin man and when in college was a
prominent athlete, being a star hurdler, and
captain of the track team. After graduation
he went West and for several years was ath-
letic instructor at the University of Indiana.

Bowdoin has opened its
The New Year doors once more after a
summer vacation and
once more a new class enters its halls for the
first time. The outlook for a prosperous
year for the college and all its interests
appears excellent. For the first time in
nearly a quarter of a century the college has
not suffered the loss of any member of its
faculty at the opening of a new year, while
on the other hand a new instructor is added
to the number.
Considerable improvement has been made
about the buildings this summer, including
the opening of new recitation rooms in Ban-
nister Hall and the converting of the north
wing of jyiassachusetts Hall into a faculty
room. The new room in Bannister Hall is
very attractive and the bringing of the
faculty room and the treasurer's office into
the same building is a much needed change.
There have also been a number of other
pleasing changes made about the college.
The entering class is a large one — nearly
as large as that of a year ago — which was
the largest in the history of the college. ' The
class clearly contains some promising athletic
material and there is no doubt that scholar-
ship is well represented in their number. To
the new year and to the new class we extend
welcome.
The Bowdoin Christian
The Christian Association promises this
Association year to be one of the most
active and helpful of our
college organizations. It is practically the
only organization where men from every
class and every fraternity may meet on
a perfectly equal footing, and it is the
only organization that holds regular weekly
meetings throughout the year, thus sup-
plying an opportunity for companionship and
activity during the winter months which dur-
ing the spring and fall terms is supplied by
the various athletic squads. The Association
was left last year with a heavy debt on its
hands, and for this reason is unable now
either to publish a handbook or to hold a
reception for the Freshmen. The officers
have however, with the kind aid of some of
the Faculty, been able to give to the Associa-
tion this fall, new life, new ideas, and a new
room. The new room is in the north wing
of the chapel, and is reached by entering the
north side door and turning to the right.
This room has been fitted up appropriately
during the summer, and now affords to the
Association a better meeting place than it
has enjoyed for many years. One of the
new ideas was to send to the Freshmen a let-
ter of greeting, and to maintain during the
first two weeks an information bureau, where
lists were kept of boarding houses, laundries,
and places of employment in town. The
membership fee has been reduced to one dol-
lar, payable on Jan. i, 1907, and the meet-
ings will be held every Thursday evening,
when there will always be some speaker of
interest to those present. Everyone is eligi-
ble for membership, and it is especially ur-
gent that everyone should join, since if 200
members are enrolled, there has been prom-
ised to the Association a gift of $200, which
if received in addition to the membership fees
BOWDOIN ORIENT

would clear all the debts, and also furnish the
Association with a good piano. The meet-
ings are open to all, whether members or nut,
and the Orient urges everyone to attend.
The readers of the Orient
Lack of Space will please bear with us in
this issue for very brief
accounts of some news matters and for the
non-appearance of others. The great pres-
sure on the columns after the summer vaca-
tion is such that it is impossible to handle
properly all the matter which deserves men-
tion.
. The Orient wishes to
„ 0ne". call the attention of
Competii.on Freshme„ to the annual
competition for the Orient Board, which
will begin at once. Two, and perhaps three,
members of the Class of 1910, will be added
to the board at the annual election in March,
and as usual the competition will be based on
the quality and quantity of the "copy" sub-
mitted. Few fields of college activity offer
better opportunity for profitable experience
than the Orient competition. It not only
tests and trains the student's alertness, but
also in writing things after he sees them.
Again, it gives him a personal interest in all
that goes on in and about the college and by
so doing helps to give him that breadth of
interest and thought, which, after all, is one
of the chief things that a college course can
bring to any man. The Orient hopes to see
a large number of Freshmen enter the compe-
tition. Further particulars may be learned
of the editor-in-chief.
NOTICES
Unpaid term bills for last June must be
adjusted by the thirteenth of the month —
to-morrow.
All students entering Bowdoin for the first
time are required to deposit a bond. Blanks
for the same may be secured at the Treas-
urer's office.
The attention of the Freshmen is called to
the Bugle, the year book of the college, pub-
lished each year by the Junior Class. The
book contains in addition to a large number
of excellent half-tone cuts of the college
buildings, complete records of all college
activities including class statistics, athletics,
anil fraternities. Every Freshman should
have a copy. Copies can be secured of G.
A. Lawrence, Zeta Psi House.
THE FRESHMAN CLASS
Following is the complete registration of
the Freshman Class, corrected up to the
present week. The list shows a total of 93
new students. Of this number two are
admitted to the Junior Class and eleven are
special students, leaving a total of eighty reg-
ular Freshmen. This is only a few less new
students than last year, which was the largest
in the history of the college.' The special stu-
dents in the list are marked with a star:

Professor George T. Files returned to Brunswick

was given a warm welcome by the student body on
his appearance at chapel, Monday morning.
excused by the Secretary, the student may take a
"make-up" examination only upon payment in
advance of a fee of five dollars to the Treasurer
of the College. A student desiring a "make-up"
examination in any course must notify the Reg-
istrar not later than May first for examinations
of the first semester, and not later than November
first, for examinations of the second semester. The
Registrar will post notices of all "make-up" exam-
inations. They will be held between May first and
fifteenth, and between November first and fifteenth.
Students are ordinarily required to take the first
"make-up" examination after the deficiency is
incurred.
9. All absences during the three days at the
opening and the three days at the close of a semes-
ter, and all absences during the three days immedi-
ately preceding and following a holiday are a more
serious disregard of college requirements than
absences at other times.
NEW ABSENCE AND EXCUSE RULES
The following regulations supersede the cor-
responding section in the published handbook :
1. Students are expected to attend all the meet-
ings of the courses in which they are enrolled and
all chapel exercises.
2. The instructors and monitors shall report to
the Registrar daily on slips provided for the pur-
pose all absences.
3. The Secretary shall have the sole power of
granting excuses for absences. All applications
for excuse must be made in person at the office of
the Secretary, in office hours. Unless such appli-
cation is made in advance of the absence, the stu-
dent must satisfy the Secretary that it was impos-
sible to apply in advance. In such cases the appli-
cation must be made within three days of the expir-
ation of the period of absence. The Secretary may
refuse to consider any application which does not
conform to these rules.
4. Any student whose attendance at chapel exer-
cises or at recitations is unsatisfactory shall receive
a warning from the Secretary. If his attendance
is still unsatisfactory, the Secretary may place him
on probation. Any student on probation whose
attendance is unsatisfactory may be suspended from
college by the Secretary. Notices of probation and
suspension will be sent to parents or guardians.
5. A student on probation shall not represent
the college in any capacity nor be entitled to hon-
orable dismissal from the college, nor retain a
scholarship.
6. Any student may appeal to the Faculty _ in
writing from a decision of the Secretary, stating
in full his reasons for appeal. Such appeals must
be presented to the Faculty through the Secretary.
7. Students will make up work missed on account
of absences, under such conditions as the instructor
may prescribe ; but any instructor may decline to
grant permission to make up work when, in his
judgment, the absences have been such as to render
it impossible for the student to make up the work
in a satisfactory manner.
8. A student who, for any reason, is absent from
the final examination in any course may have only
one trial for making up that deficiency. If the
absence from the original examination is not

THE FOOTBALL SEASON TICKETS
So far, one hundred and eighty season tickets
have been sold, and most of them paid for. This
is considerably less than the number which was
required to clear this fall's expenses. However, if
those students who have not season tickets, pay
as large subscriptions as they are able, and if the
attendance at the Bates and Colby is above the
average, it will be possible to clear expenses, so
the management has practically decided to leave
the season tickets in the possession of those who
hold them, and to try and raise the deficit by sub-
scription.

WESLEYAN, 0 ; BOWDOIN, 0
Bowdoin played a tie game with Wesleyan
University at Middletown last Saturday,
the contest being the most interesting and
hotly-contested of any in which the Bow-
doin team has played this season.
The game was the first ever played between
the two colleges and had a special interest for
that reason. Bowdoin's opponents were a
very heavy eleven and they played a hard,
consistent game, and made a desperate effort
to win at several stages.
Bowdoin, however, played with equal des-
peration and at one time saved a touchdown
by a magnificent rally on their own 3-yard
line, holding their opponents for downs.
The game balanced up to about as even as
the score indicates. During the first half
Bowdoin kept the ball in Wesleyan's territory
the greater part of the time, while in the last
half Wesleyan kept Bowdoin mostly on the
defensive.
Bowdoin once seriously threatened Wes-
leyan's goal, when Fullback Draper tried a
drop kick which went a little on one side of
the posts. Woodhead of Wesleyan tried a
place kick in the second half which missed
the posts by a few feet.
Both teams tried the forward pass, and as
a rule it was successful. Wesleyan also tried
the quarterback kick, which gained ground
several times. There was considerable pen-
alizing, Bowdoin suffering most in this
respect. Gildersleeve of Wesleyan played a
star game, while Draper, Drummond and
Crowley did noticeably good work for Bow-
doin.
In view of the fact that the Bowdoin team
was not in the best of form and was weakened
by the absence of several of its best men, the
outcome of the game was very satisfactory
indeed from a Bowdoin standpoint. The
summary :

Bowdoin Second played Hebron Academy
at Hebron last Saturday and was defeated by
the score of 12 to 6. The Hebron team
proved to be a strong one and for the greater
part of the game the Second team was kept
on the defensive. Hebron's backs were fast
and her line was strong enough to prevent
the Bowdoin team from making its distance.
Hebron scored one touchdown in the first
half and in the second both sides succeeded in
taking the ball over its opponent's line. The

PRESIDENT HYDE AT NORTH ADAMS
President Hyde was one of the speakers at
the annual meeting of the American Board
of Foreign Missions, which was held at North
Adams, Mass., last week, his subject being
"The New Premises and the Old Conclusion."
He said in part:
"A hundred years ago God was a judge;
U6
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
the Bible a statue book ; earth a court room ;
man a prisoner at the bar; Christ our advo-
cate ; the cross of Christ the price of our
release; death the end of the trial and eter-
nity the duration of the sentence. These
premises were sharply visualized. Eternity
was pictured thus :
"Our premises to-day are very different;
yet we must beware of complacency or pride
in consequence. If they are wiser, and
broader, it is not because we are better or
bigger men than they ; it is simply because
God has been at work a century longer on our
intellectual environment than he had on theirs.
What, then, are our premises? And what
missionary conclusion do we draw therefrom?
Logically and inevitably this : We give the
best we have to those in all the world who
need it most. This general conclusion has
three specific applications. It requires a mis-
sionary organization to be in supply and need
together ; a policy on the foreign field which
shall meet actual and concrete rather than
abstract and general needs ; and an attitude
at home which shall raise and sustain supply."
INTERCOLLEGIATE GOLF
The outcome of the individual champion-
ship of the New England Intercollegiate Golf
Association, which was held at West Newton,
Mass., last week, resulted in first honors
to M. Stanton of Dartmouth, who barely
defeated J. R. Upton of Bowdoin. Upton
was the only representative that Bowdoin had
in the meet and his work proved him to be
one of the best college players in the
country.
In the first day's play he defeated Kelley
of Technology and on the second day
defeated two Williams men, narrowing the
contest down to Stanton and himself. The
summary of the three days' playing is as fol-
lows:

The Sophomores won the second and last
game of the interclass series on the Delta Sat-
urday forenoon by the score of 10 to 5. The
game' was close and exciting until the eighth
inning, when the Sophomores made three
runs and made their slight lead a safe vic-
tory. The best work for the Sophomores
was done by Atwood, Hughes and Harris,
while Spurling and Walker did creditable
work for the Freshmen. The summary :

The football season has
Football Outlook progressed sufficiently to
give something of an idea
of the Bowdoin team and its prospects.
On the whole, it does not seem too much to
say that the team bids fair to be one of the
best that has represented the college for a
number of years. A remarkably strong line
seems assured and if the backs can be brought
into the form hoped for, the team should be
an excellent one by the time of the Maine
games.
The factor that makes all calculations
purely guesswork, however, is the uncertainty
of the new game. As football has been
played in the past, a pretty definite idea could
be formed as to the outcome of games when
the personnel of teams were known. But
under the new game it is evident that
the determining factor is in many instances
bound to be luck. When teams are any-
where near evenly matched (and the Maine
colleges are nearly always so) the slightly
stronger team has practically no advantage
and the chances are that first downs will be
made but seldom and the. outcome of the
game will depend in a large measure on the
bound of the ball during the punting carnival
that is bound to be the feature of the game.
It is more spectacular, to be sure, but it is
less a game of science and comparative
ability.
These things make the prophecies for our
team purely guesswork. We may say, how-
ever, that the team is a promising one, and
that with a good share of the luck that goes
with the new game it will doubtless give a
good account of itself. Thus far the team
has not been in its best form at any time.
Men have been ill or crippled from time to
time, and this with scholarship troubles has
kept the team seriously handicapped, and these
things are still proving a serious menace to
the team's prospects. It is to be hoped that
all these things will be remedied in the near
future.
As in past years, the
To the Freshmen Orient is mailed to all
members of the Freshman
Class, it being taken for granted that each
will feel it a part of their college life to have
the college paper each week. It is from the
subscribers that the business manager depends
in a large measure for the funds to pay his
bills, and it is one of the most difficult under-
takings in college for him to meet his obliga-
tions with every man paying his yearly sub-
scription. The Orient is a real part of the
college and as such deserves the loyal sup-
port of every Bowdoin student ; and it is
expected and believed that the Class of 1910
will prove its loyalty by supporting the paper
in the same manner as have the classes pre-
ceding it.
„ ,. . An occasionally notable
Conservatism in ,-. r -r> A ■ t.
„ . quality of Bowdoin stu-
■ dents is conservatism.
While in some aspects this is desirable and
an attitude of which we may be proud, it is
also true that there are times when it bears
a close relationship to a lack of college spirit.
For example, a track has been arranged
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
Ii9
between Bates and Bowcloin Freshmen, but
with a few exceptions there does not seem to
have been much effort on the part of the
Freshmen to develop the best possible team.
A track coach has been on hand and nothing
has been lacking to bring the Freshmen out
for work. Nevertheless, there has been but
small interest and it would not be in the
least surprising that Bates won the meet.
It may be said that the Freshmen are busy
at the present time, and that their college
work may well take up the greater part of
their attention ; but it is doubtless true that
Bates Freshmen have the same things to con-
tend with, and despite them they are able to
turn out a large squad of men for some time
past, and are continuing to do so at the pres-
ent time. Whether Bowdoin Freshmen win
the meet or not is, of course, not an all-im-
portant question, and the case is merely men-
tioned as an example, but the fact remains
that it is an example of an occasional indif-
ference that in college activities is not condu-
cive to the best interests of the college or to
the students individually.
Nor is this conservatism or indifference
confined entirely to Freshmen. The same
attitude is apparently what is keeping the
candidates for next spring's track team from
getting out for practice these fine fall days.
Thus far only a small number of men have
been out, while at two other institutions in
the State the number is reported to be about
40. Last year we neglected this preliminary
work, while another college did not, and the
result was that when we went to Lewiston
last May we saw men of whom we had
scarcely heard, take point after point.
The conservatism at this time is surely not
based on brilliant track prospects. A well-
known alumni who keeps closely in touch with
college athletics tells the Orient that the
present fall is the first time in the history of
our track work when Bowdoin could not
figure out in preliminary calculation from 20
to 30 points in firsts for the annual Maine
meet, whereas this year, unless there should
happen to be an individual star in the Fresh-
man Class, we can scarcely depend on 10
points.
None of the students would wish to admit
this conservatism to be due to the fraternity
houses, but there are many college graduates
who believe that indifference is the natural
outgrowth of the system. Only last week the
Wesleyan student body voted down a petition
for a new fraternity for this very reason and
stated in a resolution that the system is injur-
ing the college spirit.
The Orient does not believe this to be the
case at Bowdoin. We have our periods of
indifference which are more apparent than
real and when given time we show the genu-
ine spirit. But there are times when we for-
get ourselves, as seems now to be the case
with track, and such lapses should be called
to the attention of the student body. Let us
remedy it at once ; let us show our spirit in
something more than securing captains and
managers for our individual fraternities and
remedy these lapses into an unwarranted
conservatism. If we do so we shall not only
take a long step in making all our teams win-
ners, but we shall be putting ourselves in har-
mony with the broader college interests,
which demand activity and enthusiasm from
every student.

day night.
The residents of the "Ends" appreciate the action
-., of the college in supplying Pine Spring water for
their use.
Workmen have been engaged in making repairs
in the stone work about the Art Building during
the past week.
Shorey, '07, W. E. Roberts, '07, Brown, '07, and
Robinson, '07, made a brief visit to Boston the
first of the week.
Several college men attended the dance given by
the High School students in the Court Room last
Saturday evening.
Coach Noble, an Amherst man who has had
charge of the Hebron Academy team, was a recent
visitor to the college.
Speake, '07, Gray, '08, Hinckley, '09, Dresser, '09,
Studley, '09, and Atwood, '10, visited Hebron with
the Second team, Saturday.
Upton, '07, left Wednesday for Brookline, Mass.,
where he will attend the anual fall golf tournament
of the Country Club of that place.
Matthews, '10, was at his home in Portsmouth,
N. H., the latter part of the week, where he was
called by the illness of a relative.
R. H. Ellis, '09, is writing a description of Bow-
doin College for the Hebron Semester, the school
publication of Hebron Academy.
Harold Pratt, '09, competed in the State shoot at
the Brunswick rifle range, Tuesday, as a member
of the rifle team of Co. K, Farmington.
"Girls Will Be Girls" was the attraction at the
Empire Theatre in Lewiston last Monday evening,
but did not draw heavily from the students.
Many of the fellows will probably witness the
game between Holy Cross and U. of M. which
takes place at Portland to-morrow afternoon.
Bates played a good game at Harvard, but inju-
ries to several men in this game caused the can-
cellation of her game with Brown University.
Professor W. E. Sargent, Principal of Hebron
Academy, visited the college this week. It is
learned that he secured the services of Bernie
McGraw, the star quarterback of the 1904 team.
"Fritzi Scheff" will be the attraction at the
Empire Theatre in Lewiston on the evening of the
24th, and will be one of the best attractions of the
season.
There seems to be a great scarcity of waiters
about Brunswick this fall, several of the fraternities,
as well as residents, having considerable difficulty
in this connection.
Adjourns were given to Professor Mitchell's
classes Tuesday, he being at Newcastle, Me., where
he delivered an address before the Lincoln County
Teachers' Association.
The Freshman track squad is training hard for
the Bates Freshmen next week and the only fault
to be found is that the squad is too small. Where's
your class spirit, 1910?
Bleachers are being erected on the north side of
Whittier Field in preparation for the Bates and
Colby games. There should be a record-breaking
crowd at both games.
The granting of adjourns last Saturday and the
absence of both 'Varsity and second elevens, caused
a general exodus which gave the campus a some-
what deserted appearance.
Bates will play Colby at Waterville to-morrow ■
in the first game of the Maine college series. U.
of M. will play Holy Cross at the Pine Tree
grounds in Portland, on the same date.
At the time of going to press the matter of the
Bowdoin-Bates Freshman Meet was still in the
hands of the Athletic Council, but everything
pointed to the meet's coming off on October 29, as
announced.
The Massachusetts Club will hold its first meet-
ing to-morrow night at the Delta Kappa Epsilon
House. This club should be in flourishing condi-
tion this year, since there are eighteen Massachu-
setts men in the entering class.
The football management has been making
arrangements for the Second team to play at Kent's
Hill to-morrow, but owing to the fact that it
will be impossible for a number of the men to go
on the trip it has been decided not to play the
game.
Several Bowdoin men attended the reception and
dance given by the Alpha Phi Society of Portland
High School last Friday evening. Included in the
number were Sheehan, '09, Drummond, '09, Hale,
'10, and Holt, '07. The function was held at Riv-
erton Park.
Monday for the first time the cars on the Port-
land & Brunswick Street Railroad began making
through trips to Portland. Now a person can ^
leave Brunswick, at the corner of Maine and Pleas-
ant streets, and go right through to Congress
Street without a change, the run being made in
two hours.
Ten new cars are to be added to the Lewiston,
Brunswick & Bath Street Railway about the first -
of January. With the new cars it is intended to *^
shorten the running time between Lewiston and
Bath to two hours, which is fifteen minutes quicker
than the run is made at present. They will be of
the combination type with smoking apartments.
The big eight-wheel cars now in use will be used
as extra cars, and the line is in much need of them.

The New England Telephone Company has heen

The annual shoot of the marksmen of the Maine
National Guard was held on the Brunswick range
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
The greater part of the football squad returned
from Wesleyan at midnight, Sunday night,
although one or two men arrived on the noon
train.
In accordance with the annual custom, services
were held at .the Catholic cemetery Sunday after-
noon. The members of the St. Jean Baptiste and
the Holy Name societies, headed by the St. Jean
Baptiste band, marched to the cemetery, while
hundreds of members of the church either walked
or rode to the cemetery.
Dr. William C. Mason of Bangor, to whom the
library is already indebted for a set of the sil-
houettes of the Class of 1825, has recently sent two
interesting relics of the early college days in the
silver medals worn by members of the Athenean
Society- and of the Phi Beta Kappa Alpha of Maine,
at its establishment in 1825.
Barring out Hebron and Kent's Hill, which
schools are considered in a class by themselves,
Edward Little should stand a good show for the

thus far, and in defeating Portland, probably
defeated her only dangerous opponent.
Rev. David H. Evans, the new pastor of the
South Parish Congregational Church, is one of two
students, in the history of Williams College, who
never missed a chapel exercise during the four
years' course. The other student was Bliss Perry,
now editor of Atlantic Monthly, aind recently made
professor of English at Harvard.
The Bath High School football team defeated the
Brunswick High School, Saturday afternoon on
Whittier Field by a score of 17 to 0. Several of
the officials were Bowdoin men. McMillian, '10,
was referee ; Johnson, '09, linesman ; and Fisk, '09,
timer. Dr. Robert H. Donnell, '01, of Bath, a for-
mer Bowdoin football player, is coaching the Bath
High team.
It is a little unfortunate that the Bowdoin-Colby
game at Brunswick and the Bates-U. of M. game
l/' at Lewiston fall on the same day, November 10.
Many Lewiston enthusiasts would like to see the
game at Brunswick and many from Brunswick
would naturally go to the same at Lewiston if there
was not a game at home. It will cut down the
attendance at both games.
The item in the newspapers under a Lewiston
date line stating that a dual tennis meet between
Bowdoin and Bates Freshmen had been arranged
was somewhat erroneous. No such meet had been
arranged up to the time of going to press, though
Manager Morrison had received a letter from
Bates requesting an informal meeting of some of
the best men in the two institutions. In view of
the fact Bowdoin has no captain until home series
are settled, the manager did not feel free to make
arrangements. It is possible that this may be done
later, but the lateness of the season would seem
to make it doubtful.
Hopewell, a leading candidate for end on the
Harvard eleven, has had a hard time on account of
the working of the one-year rule. In his Fresh-
man year he made his class eleven which beat the
Yale Freshmen. Then deciding to leave Harvard
for a small college he went to Bowdoin, where he
was a prominent member of the football squad and
would surely have been on the regular eleven but
for the one year rule. At the opening of his
Junior year on account of the death of his father
he returned to Harvard in order to be near his
mother, who lives in Boston. The one year rule
was again in operation in his case and kept him
from the. Harvard eleven this time. Now as a
Senior he is out of the shadow of that rule and
will try for the first team. — Exchange.
THE FACULTY
_ President Hyde addressed the students at Wil-
liams College at their chapel exercises on last
Thursday morning. His subject was "Our Three
Selves."
Professor Sills will speak on the subject, "Sight
Reading in Latin" at the convention of the Maine
Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools
which will be held at Lewiston next week.
Professor Allen Johnson will address "The
Department of History" of the Maine Association
of Colleges and Preparatory Schools at Lewiston
next week. Professor Johnson is president of the
history department.
Professor Foster will speak before the Maine
Teachers' Association and the Maine Association
of Colleges and Preparatory Schools at their annual
meeting in Lewiston next week. His subject will
be "Simplified Spelling Reform from the Philologi-
cal Standpoint."
CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING
Capt. Shorey has been taking out a small squad of
men every day for a run through the country as
training for the cross country handicap race to be
held on November 10. This cross country running
is one of the most healthful departments of college
athletics ; a fellow need only run as far and as fast
as he wishes ; and he is bound to get plenty of fresh
air and of exercise. If a man tries it for one day,
he will keep it up willingly. Bowdoin will soon
need some long distance men and here is a chance
for anyone to make a start. The squad leaves the
gymnasium every afternoon at three o'clock.
SOPHOMORE=FRESHMAN MEET
The Sophomore-Freshman track meet will take
place next Wednesday at two o'clock on Whittier
Field. At the time of the Orient going to print,
the entries for the various contests had not yet
been made out. The Freshmen, however, have so
far had a larger number of men in training than
have the Sophomores, owing chiefly to the fact
that most of 1909's best athletes have conditions in

CORNELL, 72 ; BOWDOIN, 0
Bowdoin met an overwhelming defeat at
Ithaca, N. Y., last Saturday, when our team
was defeated by Cornell, the score being 72
to o in what was a decidedly one-sided con-
test. It had been expected that our team
would lose by a big margin, but hardly as
large as proved to be the case. The univer-
sity team, however, proved to be one of the
finest football eleven we have ever played in
the history of our athletics and this with
their splendid form and the long halves made
the score what it was.
The Bowdoin team fought against great
odds, but it was useless. The team was in
very poor form and much weakened by the
absence of men, and these things with the
long journey and lack of sleep were inpor-
tant factors in preventing them from doing
their best work.
From the beginning Cornell played fast,
with superb team work, and smashed Bow-
doin's line to pieces with every plunge.
Within three minutes of play, including a 50-
yard dash by Gibson, Cornell took the ball
near enough for McCutcheon to drop back
and kick a pretty placement goal. After that
the Ithacans made four touchdowns before
the first period closed. Babcock, at left end,
was used for line plunges, and played a very
strong game, gaining distance many times,
until he became unsteady and had to be
retired. Gibson and Earle were each credited
with a dozen long runs, Gibson getting the
longest, of 75 yards.
McCutcheon played a wonderful game,
and several times carried several men on his
• back after his interference had been shat-
tered. Bowdoin played a plucky uphill game,
but could not gain against Cornell's strong
defense. Three times Bowdoin resorted to
the forward pass, but each time it failed. The
first half ended with the score 27 to o.
The second half started with snap, and in
three plays after Bowdoin's kick-off Gibson,
with splendid interference by Watson, ended
a 45-yard run behind the goal line. In four
plays McCutcheon was sent over. After that
Warner began sending substitutes on the
field until not one man who started the game
remained. But these changes did not stop
the scoring or spectacular plays. Sailor, Corn-
wall and Gardner made numerous long runs,
and Sailor sent the ball twirling between
the goal posts by a clean drop kick from the
40-yard line. When there was but one
minute left, Cornwall broke loose and ran 60
yards for a touchdown.

ADDRESS BY D. R. PORTER
David R. Porter, ex-'o6, the first Maine
student to win a Cecil Rhodes scholarship at
Oxford, gave a very interesting address in
the First Parish Church, Sunday evening, on
"A Bowdoin Man at Oxford University."
Mr. Porter told of the conditions there, of the
life led by the students and described the
work done.
Mr. Porter said in part :
"The English University differs from the
American university in that it is composed
of a collection of different colleges. At
Oxford there are 22 different colleges, all
located in the city of Oxford, and forming the
University. Each college stands for a dis-
tinct thing, and each is a unit in itself. Each
is surrounded by a high wall, which prevents
the students from going out.
126
BOWDOIN ORIENT
"It is difficult for an American to under-
stand the relation of one college to the other
colleges of the University. It can be com-
pared to the United States government, com-
posed of a number of states, all having one
central government.
"There is no co-education at Oxford, but
in the city of Oxford there are several col-
leges for young women. The women may
attend the lectures and take the examinations
of the University, but cannot receive the
degree. The colleges for the women have
their own boards of trustees, and are entirely
separate from the University.
"The Oxford student is required to take
only three examinations. The first is called
the Responsers, and was taken by the Ameri-
can students before we left our native shores.
The English students, however, do not take
this until they have entered the University,
and they sometimes remain there a year or
more before passing it. There is another
examination which all are required to take,
but which really is a farce. It is called Divin-
ity Moderation, and is given to test the can-
didate's knowledge of the New Testament,
and the subject matter of the Book of Acts.
For a small sum a student may purchase a
book containing the questions, and if he mas-
ters these, he is pretty sure of passing the
"exam." However, occasionally a surprise is
sprung, and this was the case when the first
Rhodes scholars arrived. If the student does
not pass, he is fined one pound. This money
is used to fill the coffers, and when the times
are hard, as at present, the majority of the
Freshmen are required to pay the fine.
"The second examination is held usually in
the middle of the course, after the student
has been there a year and a half, or two
years. The third and final written examina-
tion is held at the end of the course, and the
student is expected to remember all he has
learned. There is, however, after this an oral
examination, which is also a farce.
"After the student has passed his second
examination, he may chose whether or not
he will work hard. If he chooses to work
hard he will take what is called the Honor
School, and if not, the Passed School. This
latter is used chiefly by wealthy Englishmen,
who want the Oxford life, but do not care
to studv hard. I believe that even these get
as much out of their college course, as do
the Americans who study hard a few nights
before the examinations, and then forget it
all in a few days.
"There is no elective system in England.
The student chooses at the beginning what
general course he will take up, and then goes
to that college, and remains there for two
years, or until he has taken his last, examina-
tion.
"The tutorial system is in force at Oxford.
A new man is assigned to a tutor, who has
charge of his moral and physical welfare dur-
ing his career. Each tutor has between six
and fifteen students under his charge. It is
necessary to call upon your tutor at least once
a week. He will inquire what books you
have read, what lectures you have attended,
and about your social life during the past
week. He will then advise you as to your
work for the next week.
"All of the teaching is done within the col-
lege, and the examinations are prepared, and
the degree given by the University. It is the
work of the tutor to prepare you for the
examinations. Oxford is a barren land as
far as recitations go, for there are none.
"To the Englishman the social side of
life is much more important than the studious
life. There are three terms of eight weeks
each, and the student must attend at least six
of the eight weeks. The work is all done dur-
ing the vacations, and the students come up
to Oxford to get acquainted, and to attend
lectures. The Englishman believes there are
two ways of obtaining an education ; reading
books, and reading lectures ; they consider the
latter the more important."
Mr. Porter then described a typical Oxford
day. The student is called at 7.30 and is
given 20 minutes to take a cold water bath,
dress and get to chapel. Chapel is compul-
sory, and if he does not attend, he must write
his name in a book in the dining-room ten
minutes before eight. Breakfast is from 8.30
until about 10 o'clock. Lectures come from
10 until 1, and then lunch is served. The
students all go out to the athletic field after
lunch. At 4.30 comes tea,- and dinner is
served at 7 o'clock. The first three meals
are supposed to be eaten alone, but one is
either invited out or has company. Dinner
is really the only satisfactory meal of the day.
The students hurry through this, and go off
to one another's rooms for coffee.
"Freshmen are treated much different in
England than in America. The Rhodes
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
127
scholars had all been Freshmen in America,
and were not anxious to live those days over
again, but when we arrived we found things
entirely different than in America. There a
Freshman is looked up to and honored by the
upper classmen. During the first few months
the upper classmen are all of the time invit-
ing the Freshmen to meals in their rooms, or
to the theatres. Sometimes when there is not
room at the college for all the students, the
Seniors give up their rooms for the Freshmen.
"The proctors have charge of the students
outside of the college. It is their duty to see
that the student wears his cap and gown
when he calls upon his tutor, and also when
he is on the street after 9 p.m. If a student
is caught, he must pay a fine.
"The religious life is under the control of
the Church of England, which sends its best
preachers to Oxford. The student need not
attend these services, but a very large num-
ber do. The World's Christian Student Asso-
ciation, which is much like the Y. M. C. A.,
does much good work. In vacation time,
many students do settlement work in Lon-
don."
A COMMUNICATION
The Editors of the Orient:
Gentlemen — The musical recitals that
have been given at the Art Building during
the past two college years are not to be con-
tinued. This is the more to be regretted as
the college is unable for lack of means to give
any instruction in the fine arts, if the few and
informal talks given each winter by the cura-
tor on the subject of the building and its con-
tents be excepted. The unusual conditions
which rendered possible the giving of the
recitals do not continue. The valuable musi-
cal instruments which have been so gener-
ously loaned to the college by the individuals
owning them are no longer available. The
demand upon the time of the two gentlemen
who have previously given their services to
the cause is so great that the college cannot
ask them indefinitely for such a contribution.
What they have done already is much more
than to give those who have had the privilege
to attend the recitals evidence of their well-
known skill and equally well-known unselfish-
ness ; the question of the esthetic value of
such courses to our undergraduates and to
the other members of the town and college
community who have attended them in the
past two years, has been settled for this col-
lege. There is no room for doubt that such
explanation of the world's best music and
such skilful illustration of it have a distinct
place in the period of a college student's life.
The instruments needed are an orchestrelle,
a grand piano of the best quality, and a
piano player. The conditions of heat and
moisture such as have to be observed for the
paintings and other objects kept in the Art
Building, and the fact that the Building is
never opened except by someone in the
employment of the college, would insure due
care of such property. I am sure that some
friends, who should understand the case and
be in a position to so help us, would gladly
furnish us the instruments, without which
the instruction will be impossible.
Henry Johnson.
COACH IRWIN TO RETURN
It is with a great deal of pleasure that the
Baseball Association announces that John
Irwin, the old New England League baseball
player, will have charge of the Bowdoin base-
ball team for 1907. John Irwin is univer-
sally esteemed and respected by the students.
He brought forth the championship teams of
1903 and 1905, and had good success last
spring although forced by circumstances to
leave in the very middle of the season and
so in the midst of his work.
MISS KATHERINE EVARTS
* Miss Katherine Jewell Evarts, well known
as a reader, will give a reading in Brunswick
on November 15, under the auspices of the
Saturday Club of the town. Miss Evarts is
a pupil of Leland Powers and widely known
as an impersonator of rare ability.
CERCLE FRANCAIS
An attempt is being made this year to reorganize
the Cercle Francais. The object of the club is
merely to help students to learn to converse in
French, which the limited time allowed for recita-
tions makes impossible in the class room.. Every-
one who is interested in improving his French
along this line is eligible for membership, and is
invited to the first meeting, which will be held next
Thursday at 7 o'clock at 5 South Maine Hall, for
the purpose of electing officers, and arranging the
plans for the year.

There seems to be many
Athletic Trainer reasons why we should
have an athletic trainer.
That proper training is an important factor
in the production of strong athletic teams
there can be no doubt, and — what is more
fundamental — it is a prime requisite in mak-
ing athletics what they should be — conducive
to the best possible physical condition.
The only possible objection to a trainer is
the matter of expense, and it is extremely
doubtful is this is valid. There are colleges
near at hand where trainers are retained
throughout the year and where it is claimed
that the students have less money to expend
than at Bowdoin.
This being true it would seem that the
objection is based on a lack of aroused senti-
ment. With the proper enthusiasm the neces-
sary funds could be easily raised and few
students would know the difference. A
trainer would have meant a great deal to our
football squad this fall, and would also mean
a great deal to our track men next spring.
We need a trainer and there is no one to
blame but ourselves if we do not have one.
„ . In this issue the Orient
Concerning publishes a letter from
Musical Recitals £rof Henry Johnson> in
which he states that the musical recitals which
have been given for two years in the Art
Building will have to be omitted this winter
because of a lack of instruments. We publish
this announcement with much regret, for the
recitals in past years have been a source of
much enjoyment, as well as of valuable
instruction, to a large number fo students, to
whom this opportunity to hear the world's
best music well rendered once a week, added
something to their college course that cannot
be replaced by anything else, and the lack of
which is continually felt.
Last year in the absence of Prof. Hutchins,
Dr. A. B. Mason kindly gave us his time and
services, so as to enable us to continue the
course. This year Prof. Hutchins is again
with us and has kindly offered to give the
college the benefit of the special study he
made last year in Germany of Wagner and of
Wagner's music. It is, therefore, earnestly
hoped that some person or group of people
interested in Bowdoin, will respond to Prof.
Johnson's letter by putting the college in
the way of obtaining the instruments needed
to continue the musical recitals.
Christian
Association
During the last two weeks
the Christian Association
has been organizing its
committees and beginning its practical
work. The two committees whose influ-
ence will be felt the most and to help
which it is the duty of the whole college, are
the Employment Committee and the Library
Committee. The first committee will keep a
list of winter or summer jobs open to Bl>w-
doin men, and will furnish the same to any
applicant. It will, therefore, add much to
the efficacy of the committee if every man
who is looking for a position, or knows where
there is one, will give his name or informa-
tion to some member of the committee as soon
as possible. The members of the commit-
BOWDOIN ORIENT.

tee are: T. R. Winchell, '07, at the Alpha
Delta Phi House; A. W. Merrill, 'oS, at the
D. K. E. House, and B. C. Morrill, '10, prob-
ably in Maine Hall. The second committee
is collecting a library of second-hand text-
books which will be available for needy stu-
dents, who will be given the use of a book
during a semester if they make a small deposit
with the Library Committee. The members
of this committee are L. H. Fox, '06, who is
to be found at the Hubbard Library and W.
M. Harris, '09, at No. 3 South Appleton
Hall, and every one who has any second-hand
text-books which he is willing to give for this
purpose, is requested to leave them as soon as
possible at the Hubbard Library. The other
committees now organized are the committees
on, tutoring students having low rank, on
seeing that sick students are cared for, on
opening the Sargent Gymnasium to Bruns-
wick boys on Saturday mornings, on music
for the meetings, on press reporting, on tak-
ing care of the rooms, and on membership.
This last committee is composed of M. C.
Webber, '07, J. A. Davis, '08, R. O. Brewster,
'09, and E. C. Matthews, '10.
The second meeting of the Association was
held last night, and Dr. Lincoln addressed the
meeting on his experiences in China. The
Orient will give a more expended account of
the meeting next week. The Association has
not yet begun to organize its classes for Bible
Study, but this will soon be done under the
direction of C. W. Snow, '07.
The fellows seem to have
College Band forgotten all about the
question of the music for
the college games this year. It is high time
that something should be done about this and
a band organized for the next three games, if
nothing more. The members of the band for
last year should certainly organize at once
and take steps for starting this branch of
activity.
A COMMUNICATION
Last spring the college was informed that
instead of choosing a football coach from
among the stars of other colleges, the "grad-
uate system" of coaching would be given a
trial. Are we at Bowdoin giving this system
a fair trial? At institutions where this sys-
tem is in vogue, there are graduate coaches
for every department of the game, and in
most cases, there are one or more coaches for
every position on the team. At Cornell last
Saturday eleven graduate coaches were on
the field, and in preparation for the Princeton
game of October twenty-seventh, six more
coaches were then expected. Here at Bow-
doin we may not expect to see such a large
corps of coaches, but have we not a right to
expect more than two coaches at this stage of
the game? Does not the success of the
"graduate system" of coaching depend on
the presence of at least one graduate coach
for each department, and more than one grad-
uate coach if more can be induced to return
to give the college the benefit of their ' pre-
vious training and experience? We do not
mean this for a criticism of the work of the
present coaches ; neither do we mean it for
a harsh criticism of those in whose power lies
th ability to engage more coaches. Yet it is
the feeling of a large number of undergradu-
ates that all is not being done toward round-
ing into championship form the splendid
football material which this year brings to us.
Will not the football authorities give the
"graduate system" a fair trial by immediately
engaging the requisite number of coaches?
If we are to have the "graduate system" of
coaching, why not test the system fairly, and
instead of having two graduate coaches, why
not give the team at least one coach for every
department of the game ?

MASSACHUSETTS CLUB
The Massachusetts Club held its first meeting
last Saturday evening at the Delta Kappa Epsilon
House. Twenty-four Massachusetts men were
present, and fifteen out of the eighteen Fresh-
men from Massachusetts, who were present, became
members of the club. The plans for the year were
discussed and it was decided to hold three meetings
in the Fraternity Houses, one meeting at the Inn,
one at the Gurnet, and one public meeting in
Memorial Hall, at which some speakers from Mas-
sachusetts would address the college. After the
business meeting, refreshments were served, and the
meeting adjourned at about nine o'clock, having
spent a pleasant evening.
BATES=BOWDOIN FRESHMAN MEET
Word was received from Bates College last Tues-

A large number of students attended the Maine-
Holy Cross game at Portland, Saturday.
Owing to excessive cutting by the Freshmen the
faculty have ruled that any Freshman taking more
than two recitation cuts during the two weeks com-
mencing Monday, October 22, will be put on pro-

It is stated that Bearce, who was one of the well-
known athletes at U. of M. during the past four
years, and who graduated last June, recently lost
one of his hands in a mill in which he was employed.
Sawyer and Kingsley, of the Senior Class, left
Brunswick, Tuesday morning, for Middlebury, Vt.,
where they go as delegates to th National Conven-
tion of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, which will be
held this week with the Middlebury Chapter of
Middlebury College.
Notices have been given by the Lewiston, Bath &
Brunswick Street Railway that special arrange-
ments have been made with the Empire Theatre in
Lewiston, whereby reserved seats for all attractions
at the house this winter can be secured at the
Brunswick waiting room without additional expense.
The L. B. and B. Street Railway car No. 73
jumped the tracks near the Maine Central crossing,
Thursday noon, and for an hour and a half delayed
travel on the road and also tied up the freight
trains on the Maine Central. The accident was
caused by a brake shoe dropping and falling under
the wheels.
During the summer a committee appointed by
the Athletic Council has prepared a revised edition
of the amended constitutions of the Athletic Coun-
cil, and Athletic Association. The new pamphlet
will be similar to the old one, but contains in addi-
tion, a summary of the Faculty Regulations, con-
cerning eligibility to athletic teams.
It was noticeable to our team at Cornell how the
graduate coach system is arranged for them.
There were over twelve graduates, acting as
coaches, at the time of the Bowdoin game, and
seven more were expected later. At this place there
is a coach for every position on the team, a coach
for left end and a coach for right end, a coach for
left tackle and one for right.
Interested by the glaring account in the Boston
American of last week, a number of fellows took a
walk up to Shiloh, the colony of Sandford in Dur-
ham. From outside appearances the conditions at
the colony were anything but as represented. The
people seem happy and the children well fed. It is
an interesting walk up around this place. To con-
fess the truth, however, the inhabitants are by no
means so glad to welcome visitors as the visitors
are to see the place.
It will be exceedingly interesting to those who
know anything of the wonderful work of Dr. Gren-
fal in Labrador, to know that on next Sunday after-
noon at the five o'clock vesper service, Mr. Albert
Gould, a Bowdoin student, will tell of his experience
with Dr. Grenfal in Labrador during a summer
vacation. Several books, concerning the work of
Dr. Grenfal, may be found in the Lewiston Public
Library and it may be of interest to some to read
these before hearing Mr. Gould. — Lewiston Journal.
It is stated that one of Bowdoin's best known
track athletes had a rather unique experience a
short time ago. It seems that he was out taking his
regular afternoon cross-country jaunt and on emerg-
ing from the woods on the Bath road, came sud-
denly on the Bath Anvil's coaching party bound for
the Topsham fair. The party was made up largely
of ladies and on the appearance of the track man
they all began to scream, evidently impressed with
the firm belief that this strangely dressed man was
none other than a wild man. The horses also
became frightened and started to run away. The
cross-country runner withdrew with as much speed
as possible, but so far as known the coaching party
have not yet learned who the "wild man" was.

Shorey does not lead the squad at a pace that the
other fellows cannot easily keep up, and takes them

ART BUILDING NOTES
During the summer Professor Henry Johnson
has compiled and had printed the third edition of
the catalogue of the Walker Art Collections. It is
published, as previously, in neat pamphlet form,
with the addition of Professor Hutchins's photo-
graph of the Art Building for a frontispiece, and
is ar credit to the local printer^ who held the con-
tract for the job. The catalogue is very complete
and accurate, and may be obtained at the desk at
the usual price of twenty-five cents.
Several additions to the collections have been
made during the summer months, but the working
library of the Art Building has been very much
increased this vacation. This library is not included
in the new catalogue, for it cannot be readily put
on exhibition. It, however, is a very valuable col-
lection in itself and is chiefly composed on books
on Art, lantern slides, and portfolios of valuable
photographs of various portions of Europe or of
famous works of Art.
There is now on exhibition in the Bowdoin Gal-
lery, an excellent set of photographs loaned by the
Library Art Club. It includes the photographs of
seventeen of the world's famous pictures, with text
relating to each picture. The exhibition will close
on October 29.
BOWDOIN FACULTY CLUB
A new club has been organized in the college dur-
ing the summer. It is called The Bowdoin Faculty
Club, and its membership consists of all members
of the Bowdoin Faculty. Its meetings, however,
are open to the families of the Faculty, to all per-
sons in Brunswick who are now, or whose kindred
have been connected with the college, and to such
students who were made members of Phi Beta
Kappa at the end of their Junior year, or who are
now members of the Ibis. The purpose of the club
is to afford to an appreciative group of people an
opportunity to reap the benefits of the investiga-
tions carried on by the members of the Faculty
outside of their regular class work.
The meetings will be held on the first and third
Monday in every month from October to March,
in the English and French Departments' Room of
Hubbard Hall. The general topic chosen for con-
sideration this winter is "The Great Men, and
Movements of the Dark Ages." Last Monday
evening at the first meeting of the club, President
Hyde read a paper on "Saint Jerome," which was
listened to attentively by an audience of over fifty
people. The next paper will be given on November
5, by Prof. W. B. Mitchell, on "St. Augustine."

1In flDemoriam
The Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon mourns the
loss of Herbert W. Grindal, of the Class of 1880,
who died at his home in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Feb-
ruary 5. Mr. Grindal was prominent as a speaker
and writer during his college course, receiving
awards at the Junior declamation and for extem-
poraneous English composition, as well as an
appointment in the '68 Prize Speaking. After grad-
uation from the Columbia Law School in 1882, he
entered upon the practice of law, in which profes-
sion he established for himself a reputation for
fidelity and thoroughness. The Chapter mourns
with the bereaved relatives and friends and extends
to them its deepest sympathy.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, NOVEMBER 2, 1906
VOL. XXXVI
NO. 14
J BATES, 6; BOWDOIN, 0
Bowdoin lost its first game of the Maine
College series last Saturday, being defeated
by Bates by the score of 6 to o. The game
was one of the most disappointing, from a
Bowdoin standpoint, of any defeat in a num-
ber of years.
The fact that Bowdoin has an abundance
of material this year, has led the students to
believe that in the Maine games the team
would surprise its friends, and that the poor
showing at Cornell was simply incident to the
long journey of the men and their consequent
poor condition. Such did not prove to be the
case, however, and as a result we were
defeated by a team that every Bowdoin man
believes was much weaker, man for man.
Bates had a very ordinary team, but 'she had
one all-important thing that Bowdoin did not,
team-work — and for this quality she deserved
her victory. Despite this, it was only through
a fortunate penalty that Bates secured her
touchdown, and, as subsequent events proved,
won the game.
Bowdoin received the kick-off, Schumacher
sending the ball over the heads of the Bow-
doin men and back of the goal line, where it
was captured by Draper and advanced 20
yards. Bates secured their touchdown in the
first ten minutes of play. Cobb, the Bates
quarterback, made a 35-yard run, and Bates
gained their ten yards in the next three
downs. Following this came a penalty of
fifteen yards for offside play, which gave
Bates the ball on Bowdoin's two-yard line.
To make this distance and a touchdown in
three rushes, was a comparatively simple
matter. Cummings kicked the goal, making
the final score of 6 to o.
For the remainder of the half the honors
were evenly divided, neither side threatening
their opponents' goal line. The ball was
kicked back and forth, both teams fumbling
it more or less, especially the Bowdoin men,
who seemed to find a wet ball difficult to
handle. Capt. Schumacher of Bates received
a bad cut over the eye and through the
courtesy of Capt. Drummond time was taken
out for the doctor to bandage the injured
member.
The second half opened with no change in
the line-up of either team, and the Bowdoin
men went into the game with traditional
Bowdoin spirit which has won many games
for the college, but not even this could pre-
vail in a rain storm, on a wet field with a wet
ball. Delayed passes were used by both
teams but with no results. Once Bowdoin
got away a forward pass that worked, and
netted a good gain, but as a general thing this
play was not to be relied upon as a ground
gainer. End runs were out of the question
on the muddy field and the entire second half
was a series of line bucks and kicks. When
the game was nearly over, W. Drummond
'replaced Crowley at end and Stacey was put
in Cummin's place at tackle.

COMMUNICATION
To the Editor of the Orient:
It is not soothing to the nerves of the aver-
age graduate to find the sporting columns of
the New York papers filled with comment on
such a grotesque score as "Cornell, 72; Bow-
doin, o." It reads altogether too much like
some of "Hurry Up" Yost's scores against
those fresh-water colleges out in the Middle
West.
\ 36
BOWDOIN ORIENT
It is well enough to play a practice game
with Harvard with short halves and very early
in the season, but to take a small college team
all the way to Ithaca, New York, at a time
when the season is fairly well advanced and
the big teams presumably well shaken
together, is not fair either to the tearh or the
college. Nothing but bad management could
have been responsible for the making of that
date. In travelling it is not distance that
counts so much as speed, service and connec-
tions. It would be far easier, so far as wear
and tear are concerned, to transport the
Chicago University team to Harvard than
it was to take Bowdoin to Ithaca. This
the management ought to have known. It
should also have stopped to consider that Cor-
nell would make every effort to roll up a big
score against a team that had played Harvard
o to 10. It was not a square deal to the boys
to put them up against such a proposition.
Bowdoin is a small college with a big
name ; but the name won't carry the ball.
Stick to your class, boys ! And in the name
of the founder and all that is sacred in the
history of the institution, don't, don't, play
any more of those prep, schools unless you
can beat them.
George Beinton Chandler, '90.
MEDICAL SCHOOL OPENS
The Medical School of Maine opened last
Monday with a fair attendance and good
prospects for the coming year. Up to Tues-
day noon, 23 first year men had registered,
which is several more than last year, and it is
known that there are several more yet to reg-
ister. Of this number eight enter from the
college, six from the Senior Class and two
from the lower classes. There are 16 second
year men back. Following are the names and
addresses of the students, those entering the
first year from the college being indicated by
a star :

SATURDAY CLUB LECTURE
The subject of the opening lecture of the
Saturday Club, to be given in Memorial Hall
at 8 o'clock Monday evening, November 5,
by Mr. Charles Zeublin, Professor of Sociol-
ogy in the University of Chicago, is "Demo-
cratic Culture." Professor Zeublin is the
author of "American Municipal Progress,"
and "A Decade of Civil Development," and
has come east to deliver courses of lectures
before "The National Arts Club" of New
York, "The Twentieth Century Club" of Bos-
ton, and "The Civic Club" of Portland. He
is one of the most effective speakers on the
present lecture platform, and it is a piece of
good fortune for Bowdoin students, that the
college, in co-operation with The Saturday
Club, has secured a lecture from him in
Memorial Hall.
FIRST GLEE CLUB REHEARSAL
The first rehearsal of the Glee Club was
held in the Y. M. C. A. Rooms, last Monday
night, and the prospects appear exceedingly
good. Aside from the fact that there is an
unusually large amount of vocal talent in the
entering class, most of the older members are
still in college. There were about sixteen
from the entering class present. The leader
earnestly requests all the new men possessing
any vocal ability, as well as all the old men, to
come out.

PROF. ROBINSON TO 00 TO MEXICO
On the twentieth of next month Prof. F. C.
Robinson will leave for the City of Mexico,
as the representative of the Maine State
Board of Health at annual meeting of the
American Public Health Association. Prof.
Robinson is the president of this association,
which embraces the national and state health
workers of the Dominion of Canada, the
United States, Cuba and Mexico. This Asso-
ciation has been foremost in the field of pub-
lic hygiene and health work in America and
the meetings, which will last over a week, will
be attended by more- than five hundred dele-
gates from all North America. A number of
foreign representatives will also be present.
The presidency of an association of this
widely-recognized scope is a most distin-
guished position and a credit to the State of
Maine and Bowdoin College. It is undoubt-
edly the most eminent honor attained by any
member of the Bowdoin faculty in recent
years. Prof. Robinson expects to be away
about six weeks and will be accompanied on
the trip by Mrs. Robinson.

Concerning the
Orient
It should be stated for the
benefit of the students
that the Orient arrives
in Brunswick, Friday afternoons, and that
they may be secured at the post office
as soon as the express team goes to the post
office after the arrival of the 1.20 train from
Lewiston. It is stated that they are not
always received until Saturday, but if called
for at the office Friday afternoon, can be
received at that time, except in cases where
unforeseen delays occur.
Monday Evening's
Lecture
Bowdoin students will
have an opportunity Mon-
day evening of hearing Mr.
Charles Zeublin of the University of Chicago.
Professor Zueblin is considered one of the
most interesting speakers in the West and
Bowdoin students are very fortunate in hav-
ing this opportunity. The lecture is given
under the auspices of the Saturday Club in
co-operation with the faculty, and it is hoped
that there will be a large attendance of stu-
dents. The lecture will be at 8 o'clock in
Memorial Hall.
,, .. , „ . , The Medical School of
Medical School M • ., • ,
ft Maine opens this week
P with a good-sized attend-
ance. There are but three changes on the
faculty this fall and everything looks bright
for a prosperous year. The Orient extends
a hearty welcome to the new men and assures
them a warm welcome from the men in the
academic department.
To-morrow for the first
Tomorrow's Meet time Bowdoin and Bates
Freshmen will meet in a
dual meet. Though the event can scarcely
arouse the interest that attaches to the regu-
lar intercollegiate contests, it nevertheless
will attract considerable attention from its
novelty if nothing more. It surely gives an
impetus to fall track training in both institu-
tions, and as such should be beneficial in more
ways than one. There is some feeling that
there is too much athletics in our colleges
these days, but so long as athletics stand for
the development of bodily strength and good
health, they will continue to remain popular,
and a Freshman track meet with Bates, it is
safe to say, is in no danger of doing any
harm to either place.
THE ANNUAL SHOW
It has become an established custom now
for the Baseball Association to put on an
annual show, and arrangements are already
underway towards the production for 1907.
As soon as the football activities are past,
active work on rehearsals will begin. It is
probable that the show this year will be some-
thing of a vaudeville idea. There will be
numerous chorus effects and musical numbers.
The Association asks for the help of all the
students in ideas, suggestions and services.
Particularly do we want some bright hits and
acts. All advice and help will be greatly
appreciated. It is planned to stage the show
in the Town Hall about January 23, and to
play at least once out of town.

BOWDOIN ORIENT.
The national convention of the Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon Fraternity will be held at Springfield, Mass., the
15th and 16th of this month. Burton, '07, and
Hacker, '07, will represent the Bowdoin Chapter.
The first meeting of the Verein which it was
planned should be held to-night, has been post-
poned until next Friday evening, when the club
hopes to start in its new year with a wide-awake
and active membership of all its last year s men.
As the Bates special train came into the Bruns-
wick station, Saturday afternoon, a brake beam on
the tender dropped and derailed the tender and first
truck of the forward car. Fortunately the train
had almost come to a standstill at the time of the
accident.
Bernie McGraw spent Sunday at the Alpha Delta
Phi House. McGraw is coaching the Hebron Acad-
emy football team and it is understood that he will
remain at Hebron throughout the year, to act in the
capacity of gymnasium instructor, basketball, and
baseball coach.
The New Hampshire boys in college met at 29
South Maine Hall, last week, and formed a New
Hampshire Club. The purpose of the club is to
arouse interest in Bowdoin among New Hampshire
men, and it has now a membership of seven.
Officers were chosen as follows : President, Harold
M. Smith, '09; Vice-President, P. H. Timberiake,
'08; Secretary and Treasurer, Matthews, '10.
The Bowdoin Band is again on its feet. The
reason that it was not there earlier, is that there is
no one in college who has had sufficient experience
to lead it, and that no manager has been elected to
secure a leader from out of town. The Christian
Association, however, last week appointed a com-
mittee to organize a band. The results are, that
Mr. Brawn, the competent leader of the Bath
Band, has been engaged to lead our organization,
at least until some student shall come forward who
can fill the position, and that some fifteen men have
offered themselves as candidates for the band. Nat-
urally the hiring of a leader will make extra
expenses, but the college should be only too glad
to support the organization.
THE FACULTY
President Hyde will not return to Brunswick
until next Tuesday night.
Professor Moody gave a stereopticon lecture
before the First Parish Men's Club last Monday
evening on the subject, "Some Scenes from
English Country Life."
Professor Allen Johnson, who has been in
attendance on the Conference of New England Col-
leges at New Haven, Conn., did not return to
Brunswick, Tuesday, as was expected, being called
to Lynn, Mass., by the critical illness of his mother.
AROOSTOOK CLUB OFFICERS
At the meeting of the Aroostook Club held last
Friday evening at New Meadows Inn, Gannett, '07,
was elected President; Weiler, '08, Vice-President;
and Putnam, '08, Foss, '08, Powers, '08, Executive
Committee. The club has four new members this
year and is in a prosperous condition.

Some of the probable speakers during the year
are Brune, Baulig, Teurneur, and Allard. Profes-
sor Henri Micoleau of the Portland School of
Languages, will also come here twice a month and
address the members of the Cercle. Next year, if
this year is prosperous, such men as Professor F.
C. DeSumichrast and others, will be invited to
speak. The next meeting of the Cercle Francais
will be held on next Tuesday night at the Delta
Kappa Epsilon House and it is hoped that all the
students interested in French will attend and
signify their intention of joining.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Association held its second meeting of the
year on October 26. The meeting was well
attended, the hall being crowded and the attendance
numbering about eighty, All listened attentively to
Dr. Lincoln, '91, who gave a brief talk on his expe-
riences in China, and the work of the St. John's
College, in which he is a surgeon, at Shanghai. He
also briefly mentioned the characteristics of the
Chinese, first among them he placed an absorbing
love for money, which often reached such a pass
that individuals hired themselves out to serve a
death penalty in place of the culprit, who in his turn
is pledged to pay a certain sum of money to the
family of his dead substitute ; another characteristic
that Dr. Lincoln mentioned was the Chinaman's
great ability to tell a lie, and also to keep his
promise when once it is given. The third meeting
was held last night and a large number of students
listened to Lester Adams, '07, tell of Dr. Grenfell's •
work as a missionary.
HARE AND HOUNDS
There is some talk among the members of the
cross-country squad of having a series of Hare and
Hounds runs. In order to do this with success it is
necessary that more men come out and train. Hare
and Hounds is not a hard strain; it is simply a
legitimate form of exercise such as any man can
indulge in without bad effects. The English schools
make it a point to have at least • one * Hare and
Hounds run a week and the English are the
strongest distance runners in the world. At many
of the colleges here in America there are Hare
and Hounds Clubs. Notice of the first run will be
posted on the bulletin board.
ART BUILDING NOTES
There is on exhibition at the Art Building for the
next two weeks one of the library art collections of
photographs representing scenes in Scotland from
Edinburgh to the Field of Flodden. The exhibit
will remain at Bowdoin until November 19, and is
one which every man who is at all interested in
Scotland or in Walter Scott should see, as it pic-
tures many of the scenes described in his novels.
TOMORROW'S GAME
Bowdoin will meet Tufts to-morrow at Med-
ford and a warm contest is expected. The Bowdoin
team has improved considerably during the past few
days as the result of additional coaches and should
be able to put up a better game than earlier in the
season. Tufts, however, is said to have one of the
strongest teams in years and will, as usual, make
special effort to defeat Bowdoin. The team left at
4.35 this afternoon.
CONNECTICUT CLUB
The Connecticut Club held its first meeting a
few days ago ' and elected officers for the coming
year. Johnson, '09, was chosen president and
McMillan.; '10, Secretary and Treasurer. The
membership is not very large at present, but it is
hoped that there will be an increasing number of
Connecticut men at Bowdoin in the future.
CALENDAR FOR 1907
The annual Bowdoin College Calendar for 1907
will be issued by William R. Crowley, 1908, and
Arthur L. Robinson, 1908. The calendar this year
will be a new departure, containing many more
pages and filled with numerous cuts and original
drawings. The cover will be an original design on
heavy board, and the whole will make a very neat
and attractive souvenir of the college year. Half-
tone cuts of all the regular college organizations,
and many new groups will be added. The calendar
will be sold at the regular price, one dollar. The
Orient is glad to notice that arrangements have
been made for a good publication this year and
hopes it will have the support of the entire student
body.

CLASS OF 1894.
"Few who were at Bowdoin in the early
'90's will ever forget 'Francie' Frost," writes
a correspondent of the Orient. "Few there
probably are who are aware how Frost has
climbed the ladder of journalism until he has
become the Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald. He began his newspaper
career in Lawrence, Mass., going from there
to the Boston Advertiser. One day a tele-
graphic dispatch stated that the admiral in
charge of the Charlestown navy yard had
been selected to sit on the Schley court mar-
tial. Frost had met the admiral many times
in his round of duty, and knew precisely how
he felt regarding Schley. Consequently he
wrote a long article stating that the admiral's
feelings towards Schley were hostile, as a
result of which he was called to Washington
to give testimony that resulted in the admiral's
exclusion from the Schley court. Admiral
Schley was duly grateful, promised Frost any
favor he might ask, and on Frost's request
used his influence in securing the young
writer a footing in New York journalism.
Frost 'made good' immediately. Among his
articles which gave him a reputation along
Newspaper Row was a series of burlesque
interviews with Former Chief of Police
Devery, written in an inimitable style. James
Gordon Bennett gave Frost an important
desk on the evening edition of the Herald,
the Telegram, and finally called him across
the water to the more responsible post of
foreign correspondent. When Frost hasn't
any serious work on hand he deluges his old
friend, 'Russ' Hathaway of the Associated
Press, with souvenir postals."

HON. J. H. QOODENOW, '52
Hon. John H. Goodenow, '52, died at
Atlantic City on July 29, and his death is a
very considerable loss to Bcwdoin's alumni.
On graduating from college in 1852 he imme-
diately took up the study of law, in 1855 was
admitted to the bar, and began to practice in
his native town of Alfred, Maine. In 1859
he was a member of the State Legislature,
and in 186 1-2 was a member of the State
Senate, being president of that body during
both years. In 1864, President Lincoln
appointed him consul-general to Constantino-
ple, and in 1873 he became secretary of the
legation in Turkey. He held this position
till 1875, during which time he was three
times charge d' affaires, and acted as an
umpire between England and Egypt in a
large money controversy. In 1876 he
returned to the United States, practiced law
in Saco, Me., until 1885, since when he has
resided in New York. He has always been
a loyal alumnus, and for about 25 years has
been an Overseer of the college.
DR. A. B. DEARBORN, '63
Dr. Alvah B. Dearborn, '63, died at his
home in Somerville last summer on August
19. Dr. Dearborn was born in Topsham on
August 3, 1842, entered Bowdoin at seven-

teen and graduated in 1863. On leaving col-
lege he taught for two years in California,
then returned to Brunswick, entered the
Medical School and received the degree of
M.D. with the Class of 1870. He then prac-
ticed in the New York hospitals, in Salisbury,
Mass., and later in Newburyport, where he
remained until 1884, when he moved to Som-
erville, in which city he practiced until his
death. In Salisbury he served on the school
committee for two years, in Newburyport for
nine years, and again for nine years in Som-
erville. He also was Somerville's City Physi-
cian from 1889-97, and 1901-06.' In Somer-
ville he was very popular, and his loss as a
citizen as well as a physician was felt by the
whole city.
REV. EDWARD HENRY NEWBEGIN, '91
Rev. Edward Henry Newbegin, rector of
St. John's Episcopal Church of Bangor, died
Tuesday, October 14, at the Maine General
Hospital in Portland after an illness of five
weeks. He was born at Defiance, Ohio, the
son of Henry and Ellen Taylor Newbegin.
He was thirty-eight years of age. He grad-
uated at Bowdoin College in the Class of
1891, after which he read law in his father"s
office and was admitted for practice in the
Supreme Court of Ohio in 1893 and was for
a short time engaged in the active practice
of the law. In October, 1893, he abandoned
the law and came to the Episcopal Theologi-
cal School at Cambridge, Mass., where he
graduated with the degree of D.D. in 1896.
In the same year Bowdoin College gave him
the degree of A.M. He preached for three
years at St. Andrew's Church in Ayer, Mass.
He was called to Bangor as rector of St.
John's in the fall of 1899. In September,
1900, he was married to Elizabeth King,
daughter of D. Webster King of Boston, his
wife surviving him with four small children.
His oldest brother, Parker Cleveland New-
begin, a graduate of Bowdoin in the same
class with himself, resides at Houlton, Me.,
and is maintenance engineer of the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad. His younger brother,
Robert, graduated at Bowdoin in 1896 and
at Boston University Law School in 1898 and
is now in the practice of the law with his
father at Defiance and Toledo, Ohio.

VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, NOVEMBER 9, 1906
NO. 15
BOWDOIN, S; TUFTS, 12
In a hard-fought game of football Bowdoin
was defeated by Tufts at Medford last Satur-
day by a score of 12 to 5. The Bowdoin
team outplayed Tufts during the entire game,
and had it not been for two unfortunate fum-
bles with Bowdoin making good progress
toward its opponents' goal, the defeat would
have been a victory.
The Bowdoin team played the best game
of the year, the offense, which up to this time
has been the weakest part of the team, show-
ing marked improvement and played with a
dash which Tufts was seldom able to stop.
Bowdoin scored first, securing a touchdown
on straight football, assisted by some penaliz-
ing of Tufts, the score being 5 to o in favor
of Bowdoin at the end of the first half. In
the second half Bowdoin had a chance to
secure a place kick, but it failed, Bowdoin
recovering the ball on Tufts' 10-yard line. It
was at this time that the first fumble came,
Tufts' quarterback securing the ball and
going the length of the field for a touchdown ;
Tufts' second touchdown was secured also by
a fumble, Sheeny securing the ball and run-
ning 45 yards.
Bowdoin won the toss, and kicked off,
Peterson getting the ball and coming back 20
yards. Tufts, unable to gain, then punted to
Bowdoin's 40-yard line. The latter, in turn
trying the opponents' line unsuccessfully,
worked a quarterback kick for 30 yards, but
was penalized 15 yards for holding Hooper
of the Tufts' team, and then the ball was
again punted. After working the ball well
into Tufts' territory and gaining 5 yards by
a forward pass, Bowdoin lost a placement
goal, which was blocked by Sullivan's recov-
ering the ball. Although Greene punted out
of danger, Bowdoin, aided by fast offense and
Tufts' offside plays, carried the ball to the
goal, Draper taking it over for the touch-
down. When time for the first half was
called, both sides were in the middle of the
field.
The second half opened by Greene's kick-
ing off to Lee on Bowdoin's 10-yard line ;
by the latter 's fumble Tufts secured the ball,
but Bowdoin's line, proving too strong, and
held for downs. After two attempts to break
the opponents' line the ball was punted over
Greene's head to Tufts' 10-yard line. A 20-
yard gain for Tufts on a quarterback kick, fol-
lowed. Bowdoin, securing the ball, then
attempted a placement kick, but failed. By
a fumble, Greene got the ball and clearing the
line sprinted 103 yards, — the length of the
field, for a touchdown; making the score 6 to
5 in Tufts' favor.
Tufts now began to play a stronger
game. Peterson, receiving the kick-off, came
back 30 yards through the Bowdoin line.
Greene made 15 yards on a quarterback run,
but Tufts was penalized for hurdling and
forced to punt. With a neat forward pass,
Bowdoin made 20 yards, and was then held
for downs. Again Tufts tried the line twice,
netting a total of 12 yards. On a third try
the delayed pass was worked, on which
Sheeny scored. Greene kicked the goal and
the score became 12 to 5.
Hooper, who received the next kickoff, was
only prevented a clear run to the line by the
timely tackle of Captain Drummond. Line
plays then carried the ball to the 30-yard line,
but a placement kick by Greene was lost out
by six inches. When the time was called,
Bowdoin had kicked the ball over Greene's
head and was rapidly carrying it forward for
a touchdown.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATING LEAGUE
Professor W. T. Foster of the department
of argumentation has completed arrangements
for an interscholastic debating league among
Maine preparatory schools. Professor Foster
has been at work on this plan for some time
past, and has now completed the prefiminary
arrangements for a league, in which four
schools will take part. The schools that have
accepted the invitation to join the league are
Edward Little High of Auburn, Lewiston
High, Gardiner High, and Cony High of
Augusta.
The present plan is to hold preliminary
debates between Lewiston and Auburn at
Lewiston, and between Augusta and Gardiner
at Augusta, followed by a final debate between
the two winners, to be held in Memorial Hall.
The dates for the several debates have not
been arranged as yet, although the date of
the preliminary contest between Auburn and
Lewiston has been set for January 4.
One of the features of the league will be
the assigning of coaches from among the
prominent debaters in college, the following
men having been assigned to the several
schools : Cony High School, F. J. Redman,
'07; Gardiner High, A. O. Pike, '07; Edward
Little, R. H. Hupper, '08; Lewiston High, C.
W. Snow, '07.
A silver cup will be presented to the school
winning the series, Professor Foster having
already secured the trophy. The cup will be
appropriately lettered and will be an appro-
priate reward for the winning school.
Following are the agreements that will
govern the league :
I. The name of this organization shall be
the Bowdoin Debating League.
II. Each school belonging to this league
shall hold one debate with another member
of the league in January, on a day and place
to be agreed upon by the schools.
III. The questions for these preliminary
debates shall be submitted by the school at
which the debate is held. The other school
shall have the choice of sides, and announce
its choice within ten days of the receipt of the
question. The question must be approved by
the professor of argumentation at Bowdoin
college, and announced eight weeks before the
day of the debate.
• IV. The winning teams in the preliminary
debates shall hold a final debate at Bowdoin
College in April.
A'. The school submitting the question
shall submit at the same time a list of twenty
men proposed as judges. This list shall not
include the names of any men who are, or
ever have been, connected with any of the
schools in the league. From this list, the
other school shall endeavor as soon as possi-
ble to secure the services of three men to act
as judges.
VI. For the preliminary debates, the
school at which the debate is held shall pro-
vide the presiding officer.
VII. The Bowdoin College Debating
Council agrees to furnish each school, upon
request, with a trained and competent coach
for each debate, without expense to the school.
VIII. The expenses of the preliminary
' debates, except the expenses of the coach,
shall be paid by the schools, each school pay-
ing one-half the expenses of the debate in
which it takes part. The expenses of the
final debate, except the traveling expenses of
the teams, shall be paid by the Bowdoin Col-
lege Debating Council.
IX. Each member of the winning team in
the final debate shall be awarded a prize cup,
appropriately engraved ; and the winning
school shall be awarded a prize cup to hold
permanently.
X. Each school shall elect one representa-
tive, and these men, together with the presi-
dent of the Debating Council at Bowdoin Col-
lege as Chairman of the Board, shall be the
official representatives, of the schools in all
matters pertaining to the league.
XI. In case of any disagreement between
schools, each school shall select one arbiter,
who, with the Professor of Argumentation at
Bowdoin College, shall render a final decision
on the point in dispute.
XII. The judges for each debate shall be
instructed as follows :
Each school selects alternately the questions
to be debated and sends the formulated ques-
tion to its opponent, leaving to its opponent
the choice of sides. The side which either
school chooses to advocate need not, there-
fore, represent the prevalent trend of opinion
in that school, or even the individual opinion
of the debaters.
The League is agreed upon the general
principle that the award should not be made
on the merits of the question but upon the
merits of the debate; that is to say, considera-
tion as to what may seem to a judge the
BOWDOIN ORIENT.

intrinsic merit of either side of a question
should not enter into or determine the award ;
but the award ought to be made to that school
team which shows in general greater argu-
mentative ability and better form as speakers.
In determining argumentative ability, the
judges should take into consideration
thorough knowledge of the question, logical
sequence, skill in selecting and presenting
evidence, and power in rebuttal ; and in con-
sidering the form of the speakers, as distin-
guished from their arguments, they should
regard bearing, quality of voice, correct pro-
nunciation, clear enunciation, and directness,
variety and emphasis in delivery.
Matter is to be regarded as more important
than form. Should one team excel in matter
and the other to an equal degree in form, the
award should go to that team which excels
in matter.
The League ventures to suggest to the
judges that after the debate they cast a writ-
ten ballot, before consultation, in order to
obtain a working basis whereby a final decis-
ion may be reached.
PROFESSOR ZUEBLIN'S LECTURE
Professor Charles Zueblin, professor of
Sociology at the University of Chicago, gave
an interesting lecture in Memorial Hall, Mon-
day evening, upon "Democratic Culture."
The lecture was under the auspices of the Sat-
urday Club in conjuction with the college.
Professor Zueblin in opening stated that
culture cannot be measured; it is a habit of
the mind, and an instinct of purpose. The
individual who keeps studying and piling up
facts is an intellectual miser, and is little bet-
ter off than he who does not study. One
must be acquainted with art, literature, music,
religion, and the sciences in order to be truly
cultured.
Art and literature were the subjects receiv-
ing the most attention from Professor Zueblin.
In referring to the former he stated that art is
not painting only, but is a knowledge of the
elements which combine to produce beauty. He
referred to the men of the Dark Ages, who,
possessing no book learning, made things of
much more beauty than the men of to-day,
who have an intellectual sense of beauty.
"We do not read literature for facts but
for characters," said Professor Zueblin in
speaking of literature.
He then told how many people base their
knowledge upon the number of books they
read instead of upon what they learn from
them. "Literature," he said, "is quite behind
the times, while we are keeping up with the
book publishers." He then spoke of the lit-
erature of the Hebrews, and Greeks and
the Romans, and said that it was not neces-
sary to know these languages in order to be
cultured, but that one should know Spencer
and Chaucer, and have a foundation for their
learning.
The government of the United States was
taken up briefly. The ballot of cities like
Chicago has been so arranged by the politi-
cians that the most cultured man, as well as
the most ignorant man, cannot vote intelli-
gently. The man of culture hides behind his
books while the politician gets the offices.
Upon the great questions of the day there
is little difference in the judgment of the
ignorant man and the cultured man, as the
former is uneducated and the latter confines
his knowledge to his books and not to wljit
is going on about him.
In closing Professor Zueblin said that there
are three things one must be up on in order
to be cultured. These are Evolution, the
higher criticism of the Bible, and Socialism.
'68 SPEAKERS
At the faculty meeting held on Tuesday
night, the following men were selected, on
the basis of rank in themes and elocution dur-
ing the whole course, to compete for the
"Class of 1868 Prize," which is awarded
annually to the author of the best written and
spoken oration in the Senior Class : Allen,
Duddy, Haley, Hupper, Snow, and Voorhees.
THE DELTA UPSILON CONVENTION
The 72d convention of Delta Upsilon was held
at Middlebury, Vt., October 24 to 27, with the Mid-
dlebury Chapter of Middlebury College. Thirty-
seven colleges were represented by two delegates
each, besides a large number of alumni, making it
one of the largest conventions in the history of the
fraternity.
The occasion was also the celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the Middlebury Chapter. Among the
speakers was Governor Proctor of Vermont, a
Delta Upsilon of Amherst, '82. The delegates rep-
resenting the Bowdoin Chapter were Chester S.
Kingsley, and Ralph E. Sawyer and among the
alumni present was Charles E. Merritt, Bow-
doin, '96.

The attention of the
To the Freshmen Freshmen should be called
to the fact that it is cus-
tomary for each Freshman Class to choose
the colors of the class last graduating. Thus
the colors of the Class of 1910 should be the
same as that of the Class of 1906, which was
blue and white. There is, perhaps, no partic-
ularly strong reason why this should be done,
other than it is college tradition, and as such,
there is a sentiment about it which is dear to
every college man.
The Orient is pleased to
Debating League announce the formation of
an Interscholastic Debat-
ing League. Such a league is a novelty
among the interscholastic leagues formed
under the auspices of colleges, and there is
every reason to believe that it will prove a
success.
In the past, Bowdoin, in common with the
other colleges, has devoted its attention to the
formation of various athletic leagues, having
as their ultimate object the drawing of desir-
able athletes to the college ; but the formation
of a league which is based on the intellectual
side is surely a desirable departure. A col-
lege stands for intellectual work and the
brightest men in the preparatory schools must
surely become interested in the work of a
debating league ; and to the extent that these
men become interested in Bowdoin the new
league will surely do a good work.
As mentioned elsewhere, the preparatory
school debaters will be in charge of some of
the best debaters in college, and this should
prove of benefit to the coaches themselves, as
well as show prospective students the splendid
work that is being done in our debating
department.
The plan is a commendable one, and the
Orient congratulates Professor Foster and
the colleare on the formation of the league.
Every Bowdoin gradu-
Commander Peary ate and undergraduate is
pleased to learn of the
safety of Commander Peary of the Class
of 'yy. Although this dauntless man did
not quite reach the pole, he earned the
distinction of getting farther North than ever
man has been before. This great achievement
on the part of an alumnus makes every Bow-
doin man's heart beat a little faster in his
pride for his college and for brave Com-
mander Peary.
The conclusion is drawn from the latest of
Peary's dispatches that the intrepid explorer
will try again, as he states that the Roosevelt
is coming southward for supplies and repairs.
Before starting in July, 1905, he definitely
announced that this would be his last dash
for the pole. This he stated publicly in his
lecture in Augusta and elsewhere, and the
same declaration was frequently made in pri-
vate conversation. If he is to try again it is
probable that he will regard it as simply a
second part of this expedition from which he
is now returning, rather than as a new expe-
dition.
Once before in 1901 he held the record of
farthest north when he reached 84 degrees
\y minutes. Then a Norwegian, Dr. Nansen,
and an Italian, Duke D' Abruzzi, in turn
pushed a little nearer the Pole. Now he has
BOWDOIN ORIENT
149
made the record of 87 degrees 6 minutes, or
about 200 miles from the Pole and 40 miles
nearer it than ever man went before. The
world anxiously awaits the full story of this
expedition which was plainly one of unusual
experiences and great hardships. If Peary
returns to continue his fight against the ice
and cold and loneliness it will hardly be before
another summer.
T o-m o r r o w afternoon
Tomorrow's Game Bowdoin will meet Colby
in the second game of the
Maine College series. To attempt to proph-
esy the outcome of a football game is largely
guesswork, and to attempt to forecast to-mor-
row's result would be especially idle.
It is felt, however, that the Bowdoin team
should be in as good or better form to-mor-
row than it has been at any time this season,
so far as team work is concerned. At no
time, with the exception of last Saturday, has
the team been in the form of playing the
game of which it should be capable. Man
after man has been out of the game for
various reasons, and this has resulted in a
lack of team work, especially in the back
field. It was this that caused our downfall
in the Bates game and has been a serious
handicap in the other games of the year.
A most serious drawback to the Bowdoin
team is the debarring of. several first team men
who will not be allowed to play because of
warnings sent out under the new rules. A
regular tackle, a regular guard, a substitute
center, and a fullback who is depended upon
to do the punting are losses which can
scarcely be replaced. Nevertheless, there is a
somewhat hopeful feeling, and it is possible
that the team is not so seriously weakened as
might first appear. At all events, the team
may be depended on to do its best.
On the other hand, Colby will doubtless be
in better form than in her earlier games. She
has some excellent material in her squad and
in the judgment of a number of critics, includ-
ing Referee Halliday, has a team that is the
equal of the University of Maine.
Taken altogether, it is safe to predict a
well-contested game, but farther than this no
one will be justified in prophesing.
THE SATURDAY CLUB
On Thursday evening, November 15, in the Uni-
tarian Church, Federal Street, Miss Katherine
Jewell Everts, once a pupil of Leland Powers and
until recently a teacher in his school, will give "My
Lady's Ring," a comedy written especially for her
by Alice Brown, author of "Meadow Grass," "Par-
adise," "The Court of Love," and various New
England tales. Miss Everts is especially well
trained for her work and her skill as well as her
charm of personality won her warm praise from
the late Henry Austin Clapp, the Shakespeare critic.
After her graduation from the University of Min-
nesota, Miss Everts studied especially for the work
of literary interpretation and for a year had the
rare opportunity of studying upon the stage with
Ada Rehan and Otis Skinner in whose company she
played the part of leading ingenue.
In "My Lady's Ring" she assumes seven charac-
ters.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On November first, Lester Adams, '07, spoke
informally before the Christian Association, in
regard to his experiences last summer in Labrador,
where he went with Gould, '07, to help Dr.
Grenfel in his medical missionary work among
the poor Labrador fishermen. He told of the hard-
ships the people suffer there, and of the wonderful
energy of Dr. Grenfel who by his own personality
maintains the mission, and gives to the whole work
that enthusiasm that has made it so much of a
success and practical help to these poor inhabitants
of Labrador. Dr. Lincoln addressed the Associa-
tion last night, for the second time this year, and
took as his subject "The Opportunities in China
for Young Men, Especially for Young Doctors to
Do a Good Work in the World."
OLEE CLUB
The rehearsals for the Glee Club have been excel-
lently attended, and the prospects for this year's
club are better than the- have been for the last four
years. It is hoped to have the club entirely picked
by Thanksgiving, and from now until then at least
two rehearsals will be held every week. The men
that have come out so far are : First tenors : Ley-
don, Webber, Crowley, Foss, Shehan, McMillan,
Kendrie. Second tenors : Shorey, Crowley, Ham,
Cox, McGlone, Pickard, Davie. First bass : Bass,
Gregson, Brown, Chapman, Crowell, Crosby, Stev-
ens, Morss. Second bass : Linnell, Marsh, Draper,
Stone, Wing.
BAND
During this week the college band has become
organized, and under the efficient leadership of Mr.
A. W. Brann of Bath, has by several rehearsals,
become quite proficient. Last Tuesday the men who
had been picked to play at to-morrow's game were :
Solo cornets, Cooper, '09, and Giles, '07 ; first cor-
nets, Bunker, '10; second cornets, Stanley, '09, and
W. E. Atwood, '10; piccolo, C. M. Robinson, '08;

HARE AND HOUND RACE
The first hare and hound race was held Tuesday
and proved a most exciting race. The hares, A.
Robinson, '08; Weston, '08; Morrison, '08; and
Davie, '10, started down the Bath road and after
following the route for a mile and a half ran
through the woods to the rifle range and thence to
a logging road which they followed for about three
miles. This brought them out at Merrymeeting
Park. They again cut through the woods and
came out at the pumping station from which place
they ran up Jordan Avenue to the Maine Central
Railroad tracks, where they were caught. The dis-
tance covered was about nine miles and the run
lasted about an hour. The hounds were McLaugh-
lin, '10; Shorey, '07; Kimball, '10; P. Morss, '10; R.
Morss, '10; Weeks, '10; Johnson, '09; Simmons, '09;

VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, NOVEMBER 16, 1906
NO. 16
BOWDOIN, 0 ; COLBY, 0
The contest between Bowdoin and Colby last
Saturday on the Whittier Field resulted in a
tie, neither side being able to cross their oppo-
nents' goal ; at least not to the satisfaction of
the officials. Bowdoin, however, outplayed
her opponent during the greater part of the
game, and only by some good defensive
work on the part of Colby, together with
remarkably good fortune did she escape being
scored on. Even then, Greene, Bowdoin's
quarterback, cleared the field and ran 83 yards
for a touchdown. This however, was not
allowed on the ground of violation of rules, it
being asserted that a Bowdoin man had used
his hand in the interference work.
This is not to imply that the officials were
unfair. They treated both sides alike, so far
as they saw violations, but to many there
was a tendency to take advantage of techni-
calities of the rules which, in the judgment of
many, the game did not warrant.
The game opened with Bowdoin's kick-off
to Hammond, who .was downed where he
stood. Unable to gain, Colby punted to Web-
ber who advanced the ball several yards.
Aided by Colby's offside plays Bowdoin
made 5 yards more ; and when the ball
had changed sides a number of times a
play followed which made our prospects still
brighter. Greene punted to Hammond, who,
when tackled by Sewall, lost the ball to
McDade on the 10-yard line. The officials,
however, averred that Hammond had not been
allowed a fair catch, and the ball was taken
back and given to Colby.
After Bowdoin had made several gains and
a number of punts had taken place, the half
ended with the ball in her possession on her
own 33-yard line.
In the second half both teams entered the
field with no change in their line-up. Ham-
mond kicked off to Ellis, who advanced the
ball 12 yards. Speake made 3 yards and then
Bowdoin was forced to punt. Peterson and
Goode netted 6 yards in two attempts. Colby
was then compelled to punt, whereupon Greene
made his 83-yard run for a touchdown with
the unsatisfactory decision, previously men-
tioned. When the play had been called back,
Bowdoin got possession of the ball in the cen-
ter of the field. Speake and Stacy then rap-
idly advanced it to Colby's 30-yard line, but
here Colby proved too strong and, blocking a
quarterback kick, punted out of danger.
Again Bowdoin started down the field. This
time, aided by a forward pass, she reached the
20-yard line only to lose the ball on downs.
Colby again punted out of danger, but Bow-
doin for the third time had brought the ball
close to the opponents' goal, when time was
called.
Although characterized by frequent penaliz-
ing on both sides, the game proved interesting
from start to finish.

A COMMUNICATION
To the Editors of the Orient:
There is an unfortunate and growing ten-
dency at Bowdoin at present which is deplored
by a number of her alumni, who desire to take
this opportunity of making their views known
to the undergraduate body. This, to put it
briefly, is the gradual narrowing of the col-
lege horizon, until its chief interest is centered
in winning in athletics, in debate, and in other
branches of intercollegiate contests solely
from the three Maine colleges, Bates, Colby
and Maine.
There was a time when Bowdoin met any
New England college you might choose, and
156
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
won from it, going into the contest with a
confidence that in every way it was fully as
good as that particular Massachusetts or
Connecticut college. Her battle-ground, so
to speak, was all New England. Since the
fall of 1 901, Bowdoin has not won a single
important victory in athletics from any col-
lege outside the state. There has been good
material ; there have been good coaches ; but
the general feeling has been, strengthened by
successive defeats, let well enough alone, and
let the chief ambition of the college be to win
from Bates, Maine and Colby.
This is said in no spirit of criticism of the
men on the teams or of the coaches, who have
worked, and worked hard. Nor is it said in
a spirit of disparagement of the other Maine
colleges. But the general feeling in college
has been that we should give all our energies
to winning from our three neighbors. It was
so in the writer's time ; it is so now.
Bowdoin cannot afford to narrow her hori-
zon in this fashion. It is for her interest a
thousand times more to win from such teams
as Wesleyan, Williams, Tufts, and the other
widely known New England colleges, rather
than devote her energies to becoming cham-
pion of the State of Maine, a hollow victory
which is never heard of outside of the State,
which scarcely gets a few inches of space in
even the comparatively nearby Boston papers.
No one counts the worth of the college by her
title of champion of Maine, but it is what she
does against Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst,
and the other colleges of that class by which
Bowdoin is known. In the fall of 1904, when
Bowdoin had a championship team, Caspar
Whitney, the editor of Outing, in making up
a list of the teams of the country, placed the
University of Maine team, the weakest team
in the State series, nineteenth in the list of
colleges of the country, not even giving a
place to Bowdoin, Bates or Colby, all of
whom had decisively defeated Maine, but had
not made anywhere the record against the
well-known colleges that Maine did. Rarely
a person hears much of the other colleges out-
side of the State, but they all know Bowdoin.
In everything but athletics Bowdoin is in a
class head and shoulders over the other Maine
colleges,' and this is said in no disparagement
of their good work, either. Victory over them
is perhaps sweet to us, but it is a hollow vic-
tory in the end, and a dangerous one, if we
neglect the games by which we are judged
outside the State. Bowdoin is the New
England college representative of Maine, as
Dartmouth is of New Hampshire, or Wes-
leyan and Trinity are of Connecticut. Bow-
doin is a Maine college, to be sure, but above
all she is a New England college, and a
worthy competitor of Dartmouth, Williams,
Amherst and the other colleges in everything
but athletics. In this branch she should be
known, not in the class with Maine, Bates and
Colby, but with her real and natural rivals.
The fault is not alone a lack of material,
a lack of coaching, but a lack of interest, an
indifference. The remedy, if remedy the sug-
gestion of a number of her alumni can be
called, is a drastic one, but drastic measures
are needed to combat the present local feeling.
Instead of concentrating all the energies of
the college to capture the state championship,
a hollow plum at best, and making the Bates,
Colby and Maine games the all-important ones,
take them from the position where they now
are, cease even to make them games in which
a man rnay win his "B." Play the other
Maine colleges, to be sure, for their students
are good fellows and generous rivals, but put
them at the first of the season, let them be
practice games, if you will, in which we shall
stand as good a show of winning as the other
fellow, whose team will be no farther advanced
than ours at that time in the. season. Even if
they do beat us, devote the energies of the
team and the college to winning the games
with such colleges as Tufts, Wesleyan, Trin-
ity, Williams, and others which are really in
our class and are really our natural rivals.
Let the team's schedule be something like
this, and in this order: Fort Preble, Harvard,
Colby, Maine, Bates, Trinity, Wesleyan,
Tufts, Williams. And devote the energies
of the college and the team to winning those
last four games, even if you have to let the
others go. Then Bowdoin will be more
favorably known throughout New England,
will draw men from all over this section of
the country, and will take her old place in the
list of New England Institutions, rather than
narrowing herself down to being known sim-
ply as a Maine college.
Alumnus.
To the Editors of the Orient:
The criticism of the football management
which appeared in the Orient of Nov. 2d in
a letter from Mr. Chandler of the Class of
1890, is, in my estimation, extremely unfair
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
157
and uncalled for. May I be permitted to state
the views of another alumnus in regard to this
matter?
In the first place, doesn't Mr. Chandler
know that the football schedule is not arranged
according to the whims of the manager, but
that each feature of it is thoroughly discussed
by the manager, the members of the athletic
council and the gymnasium director, and the
advisability of each game carefully weighed
before final arrangements are made?
Further, how, pray, was it possible for the
management to foresee "that Cornell would
make every effort to roll up a big score against
a team that had played Harvard o to 10"
before the season had begun and while the
Harvard game was still a thing of the future?
Bowdoin is a small college, — true ; but is
that a reason why our athletic teams should
not try to make a creditable showing against
the teams of larger institutions? Why "stick
to your class?" Didn't the Amherst team
hold Yale down to a very small score late in
this very season? And because Princeton
whipped Dartmouth 42-0 this fall, is that a
reason why Dartmouth should "get cold feet"
and forego any further chance of repeating her
last year's splendid performance against the
Tigers ?
It is my belief that the average alumnus is
with the present management in its effort to
institute new features in this season's schedule.
This movement cannot fail to have a counter-
acting effect upon the narrowing influences,
which, on account of Bowdoin's geographical
position, naturally render it easy for us to
play more games in Maine and fewer outside
the State.
As it happened, the result of the Cornell
game this fall was unfortunate, and in such
cases it is always easy to make a scapegoat of
the management; further, the writer ventures
the opinion that had the Cornell game resulted
in a Bowdoin victory, the present critics would
be among the first to hail the management
with praise for arranging a game in New
York, where the athletic results are reported
more widely than in Maine, and hence, where
the glory of a victory is greater.
The "average graduate" is willing, I am
sure, to trust the making of the football
schedule in the hands of such competent per-
sons as Dr. Whittier, the manager of the
team, and the members of the Athletic Coun-
cil. And don't worry about our nerves — they
are all right. All the "soothing" they need at
present is that which will come with the news
of the favorable outcome of the University
of Maine game on Nov. 17th.
Yours very truly,
John W. Frost, 1904.

Sympathy sympathy to J. W. Ley-
don, '07, in the loss of his
father, whose death occurred at his home in
Bath the first of the week. Mr. Leydon had
been in failing health for some time past as the
result of a shock.
"Hard luck" stories are
"Hard Luck" always in order after an
athletic defeat, but it is not
too much to say that Bowdoin's football season
thus far has been characterized by hard luck of
a genuine sort. Beginning the season with a
splendid squad and bright prospects, the team
has been crippled by injury and other causes
in every contest to such an extent that in last
Saturday's game there were just three of the
regular first-team which had been in the
game earlier in the season. Even then the
men put up a splendid exhibition and should
have won the game. It is doubtful, however,
if there is any of the small colleges that can
show a similar hard luck record.
Not only has the hard luck applied to loss
of men but in the games themselves. In last
Saturday's game Bowdoin outplayed Colby to
a degree that with any reasonable amount of
luck should have given the team from one to
three touchdowns, but despite the splendid
work not a point was scored. The same was
true of the Tufts game. Bowdoin outplayed
the Tufts team from start to finish. Our
opponents had no show of a touchdown, but
on a couple of fumbles the Massachusetts
team managed to score twice and won the
game after an exhibition that should have
brought them defeat.
Comment on these things are hardly worth
while, but the Orient feels that a word of
commendation should be said for the men who
have struggled against these odds ; and the col-
lege owes them thanks for the way they have
been playing football with every element of
luck against them.
Tomorrow's Game
Bowdoin will play her last
game of the year to-mor-
row with the University
of Maine at Orono. It is
hoped and expected that every man who pos-
sibly can, will show his loyalty to the team by
accompanying it to Orono. Manager Allen
has secured a $2 rate for the round trip, good
for the day only; and if 100 men go, they will
be allowed to return on the second midnight
at this same price. If men wish to remain
over Sunday they can secure a rate of if
cents a mile. Cuts will be excused. Let every
student go to Orono who can possibly do so.
Athletic The °RIENT is simp!y
„ , ,. voicing- the sentiment of
Regulat.ons the g *dent body when it
asserts that the new eligibility regulations
which went into effect for the first time this
fall, are not satisfactory. The practical
working out of the rules is unjust not only
to the students affected, but to the graduate
and undergraduates who desire to see Bow-
doin hold her proper position in Maine Col-
lege athletics.
The Orient fully appreciates the- position
of those who believe there is an over-emphasis
of athletics in our colleges. That such is the
BOWDOIN ORIENT.
159
case probably few undergraduates would care
to deny. Certainly the Orient does not care
to do so. What may be denied, however, is
that it is possible for Bowdoin to alter the sit-
suation ; or if possible, that the proper methods
are being taken.
In the first place the standard of scholarship
required to keep a student free from the four-
week rule is altogether too high. A man just
entering college has no knowledge of the con-
duct of college classes, no knowledge of the
ranking system or his individual instructors,
and moreover his general situation is as a rule
not conducive to his best, or even his average
work. Take these facts in conjunction with
the fact that he must be absent on athletic
trips and there is no small likelihood of his
rank being such that he may be entitled to a
warning at the end of so short a period as
four weeks. It is, perhaps, not too much to
say that a very large percentage of the men in
every entering class could be debarred under
these conditions. Debarring these men is
unjust to the students and to the alumni who
look with loyalty to see our teams win at least
half of the Maine college games. Athletics in
some respects, may be subordinate ; but Bow-
doin is at present in a situation where her
graduates and undergraduates scarcely care to
have her lose all her games.
It is said Ihe only alternative is to debar
specials. This, the Orient believes would be
even worse in its practical working out. The
fact that a man is an athlete and a special does
not necessarily mean that he is not here for
legitimate purposes. A glance at the name of
the specials who have represented the college
in the past will show that with one or two
notable exceptions, they have been men who
will bear comparison with our regular stu-
dents in every sense of the word. In fact,
their worth to the college as undergraduates
and graduates is of a sort that makes us wish
that we had more of them. If debarred from
college activities, even for one year, what
would be the result? In nine cases out of
ten, it is safe to say, they would go to some
other Maine college where they could feel
themselves a real part of the college, and
where they would be sure of a more gracious
reception. The result to Bowdoin would be
that she would lose men who in the vast major-
ity of cases would be desirable in more ways
than one.
The majority of the graduates and under-
graduates would prefer to see no athletics
whatever than teams which cannot cope suc-
cessfully with our natural competitors. And
yet that is what the question resolves itself to
in the case of these rules. The past five years
have shown that it takes our best athletes to
even hold our own ; and we only need the sin-
gle blow of debarring specials and four-weeks
rule to eventually insure this result.
It may be answered that our team last Sat-
urday demonstrated its ability to play under
the handicap of the former rule. But the fact
is that the only reason why our team was able
to cope fairly successfully with the weakest
team in Maine was simply because our squad
is the largest in years. Had the blow fallen
last year or indeed any of the past four or five
years, the strength of our team would scarcely
equal that of some of the academies. This is
not said as an argument that we must have
winning teams at any cost; but with the con-
viction that the men debarred under this rule
do not have a fair opportunity to show their
scholarship ability, and also that unfair treat-
ment to desirable specials would contribute to
the same result.
If it is felt that we are getting undesirable
men on our athletic teams from our specials
and first year men, it would seem that the for-
mer could be guarded against by a close exam-
ination of their credentials on admission ; or in
the case of regular Freshmen, by debarring
them simply while they are in arrears in their
work rather than putting them out for a year.
Allow them a fair opportunity to do their
work, and failing in this they may be properly
debarred.
These things are said in no spirit of antag-
onism to those who have been instrumental in
the making of new rules or who are contem-
plating others. The Orient recognizes, with
them, that there is, generally speaking, too
much athletics in our colleges. But we also
feel that Bowdoin is in a peculiar if not an
unfortunate situation. And such being the
case she owes some things to her undergrad-
uates and graduates in her athletic regula-
tions. Our athletics are and have been clean,
and we have no reason to handicap our teams
over an evil which seems to be more imagin-
ary than real.

He said that at a recent meeting in New Haven the

based on the supposition that the student will cheat
at examinations unless he is made to promise that
he will not, and for that reason it is believed to be
founded on a wrong principle.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On Thursday, November 8th, Dr. Lincoln spoke
before the Christian Association for the second time
this fall. He took as his subject "The Opportunity
for Young Doctors in China." His talk was an
interesting one, and in it he described the condition
of the medical science in China. He said that about
2500 B. C. there was an eminent Chinese doctor, and
later a surgeon, who studied the science and wrote
books based on their discoveries. These works
were wonderfully good for that period, but to-day
these same books make up the basis of Chinese
knowledge of medicine, and consequently their doc-
tors are about one thousand years behind the times.
Yesterday President Hyde conducted a questionaire
on "Practical Student Conduct," but it is impossible
to publish an account of it in this issue of the
Orient. The next meeting of the Association will
not be held until Thursday, December 6.
settled is whether Memorial Hall can be used, and
this is assured if fifty men agree to buy tickets. The
tickets are one dollar for a couple, and refreshments
will be served for twenty cents a person. The order
of dances will be posted next Monday.

BOWDOIN, 6; MAINE, 0
Bowdoin closed her football season for the
year 1906 with a great victory last Saturday,
when in spite of the ' great handicap under
which the team has labored, it defeated the
University of Maine by a score of 6 to o.
It was a great game and a great victory; it
was also a splendid vindication of the men
who have worked with untiring energy against
great odds throughout the year. In short, it
was a proof of the old Bowdoin spirit.
The entire team played with a determina-
tion and dash that the confident Maine men
were unable to meet and it is not too much to
say that the Orono team was swept off its
feet by the fierceness of Bowdoin's attack.
Indeed, the size of the score is no indication
of the superiority of the Bowdoin team.
Maine had no play that Bowdoin did not
smash up and at no time was the Maine team
in hailing distance of the Bowdoin goal.
Maine was on the defensive nearly the
entire game and had not Bowdoin wished
to play a safe game in the last half, it is more
than probable that we would have scored at
least once more. It was, however, prudent
to take no chances and it is this fact largely
that allowed Maine being let off as easily as
she was.
The entire Bowdoin team did splendid
work and had these men been able to play
with the form they were in Saturday,
it would be safe to say that Bowdoin would
have won the greater number of the games on
her schedule. Speake did some sensational
work in all departments of the game, while
Gastonguay, Webber, McDade, Drummond,
and indeed the entire team did some remark-
ably effective work. The touchdown came
in about 8 minutes of play as the result of
some good gains by Speake, a 30-yard gain
through center by Gastonguay, an on-side
kick and a forward pass, putting the ball in
Maine's 5-yard line. Then Stacey was given
the ball on a third and went over the
line on a play which Maine was powerless to
stop. Webber kicked the goal.
The game opened with Higgins kicking off
to Bowdoin, Stacey receiving the ball on the
15-yard line and advancing to the 25-yard line
before being downed. After two attempts
at Maine's line, Bowdoin punted to Maine's
40-yard line. -Maine then sent Swift at Bow-
doin's right tackle twice in succession, but the
first failed to gain and the second resulted in
a loss. At this time Higgins made a good
gain on a fake punt, but the next two plays
brought no result, and Maine punted back to
Bowdoin's 25-yard line. It was at this time
that Bowdoin started for her touchdown.
Speake made 5 yards through tackle and then
Gastonguay went through the center of the
Maine line for 30 yards. Maine then held,
but an on-side kick to Drummond gave Bow-
doin 10 yards and a forward pass which
Miner fumbled gave Bowdoin another big
gain. Speake made 10 yards again, and after
Webber had failed to gain, Speake carried the
ball 5 yards, leaving it on Maine's 5-yard
line. Stacey was then given the ball and
cleared the line by a good yard. Webber
easily kicked the goal.
Maine kicked off twice, each time the
ball going over the line. Bowdoin then
kicked off to Matheas on Maine's 23-yard
line. Swift made about 4 yards on two
attempts and then Maine was set back for
holding. Miner got 4 yards on a run and
then Bowdoin lost 5 yards for holding. Hig-
gins now made about 7 yards but Swift failed
and Maine was obliged to punt, the ball going
to Bowdoin's 35-yard line. Speake made 10
yards on a delayed pass, and then Bowdoin
retained the ball on a forward pass in Maine's
territory. Bowdoin started down the field
again, but was stopped on Maine's 35-yard
line.
At this time Higgins made about 10 yards
around left end, but after this Maine was
again forced to punt. Speake failed to gain,
but an on-side kick netted 5 yards. Then came
a slip-up on a forward and Maine secured the
ball on downs. Next came an exchange of
punts, the half ending with the ball near the
center of the field.
In the second half Maine made many
changes and the team showed that it was
weakening several times. Bowdoin, on the
i66
BOWDOIN ORIENT
other hand, showed up as strong as in the
first half and Maine's fresh men could do no
more execution than could the others. Web-
ber kicked off to Swift, who was
downed on the 30-yard line. Maine could
not gain and punted to Greene on the 35-yard
line, he advancing the ball 10 yards before
being downed. Speake failed and Webber
made 6 yards, but on the on-side kick Maine
got the ball. At this time Maine made first
down once but the advance was quickly
stopped. The remainder of the game was a
repetition of this work, with all the odds in
favor of Bowdoin, while frequent changes
continue to be made in the Maine team. The
game closed with the ball in Bowdoin's pos-
session on Maine's 35-yard line, and good
advances being made toward the Maine goal.

THE OCTOBER QUILL
The dedicatory address which the Quill has
the honor to print as its opening article,
creates in the reader the instantaneous, unmis-
takable effect of eloquence. It would be an
excellent model for • analysis in classes of
rhetoric and public speaking; and it is with
something of the teacher's interest, not in the
vain desire to praise where praise is needless
and presumptuous, that we would call atten-
tion to its simplicty of diction and its dignity
of treatment and -to its fine congruity of form
and subject, from the felicitous opening sen-
tence to the striking parallel of the closing
paragraphs.
It would be interesting, further, to notice
in this connection what has constituted elo-
quence in different eras. For we have
gone so far in reaction from the fulsome
praise, the stilted arrangement, and the over-
elaborated formalism of a Bossuet and even
of our own Webster that we seldom attain so
happily as does the present address the stateli-
ness of a right use of the formal.
As the echo of a mood or as an attempt to
suggest, yet conceal, that mood by words, "The
Twilight Rock," has decided merit, but the
hapless reviewer, who although unable, after
the manner of reviewers, to rhyme two lines
together, yet dares to criticise, feels that as
poetry it has its limitations. The third stanza
seems an intrusion, a troubling cross-motif.
"Amid the encircling night" is not so expres-
sive as the well-known line that its suggests,
and "silently" and "eternity" as end words
with the forced accents for proper stress,
although permissable, are unpleasing.
There are notes in the story called "Pop-
pies" that raise it to the level of a prose-poem.
It has color and feeling and much of the spirit
of its setting. It is an alluring theme, too,
that of a life lived, as the writer well puts it,
in "the peace that touched him on all sides yet
could find no resting-place in his heart."
In the good work of this writer it may be
pardonable to point out a possibly dangerous
mannerism, — the use of a sort of Latin abso-
lute which sometimes results in so loose a sen-
tence as to suggest misprints. Examples are
"his pockets emptied," "a feeling almost of
joy within him," "head bowed ," and this
broken sentence: "Camilla, too much the girl,
too little the woman, and Hugo's voice so soft,
Hugo's eye so fine, when he whispered she
trembled and turned away."
As to the ending, well, there are those
who will ask, Is it the vision of an over-
wrought brain projecting the image it cher-
ishes, or is it the real woman appearing only
to make necessary a second renunciation,
greater than the first?
A long and rather tedious modern play, "A
Pair of Spectacles" points the homely moral
of "From the Fo'castle" no better than does
this short rhymed lesson, a fresh, attractive
form for the presenting of old truth, and for
its wholesomeness we accept the Kipling jingle
of the first stanza and commend the second
with its succession of pleasing images.
So much has been written of Stevenson's
determination to find life livable and, withal,
so much unreasoning optimism has been
preached in his name that it is not the
theme so much as the spirit of the present
Quill essay on "Stevenson's Theorem" which
commends it. It is the buoyant exemplifica-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
167
tion of what Stevenson called the "ruddy con-
victions" of youth. It is a happy, contagious
mood, and the style is correspondingly
attractive with a literary flavor that raises it
out of the order of barren platitude.
It is seldom in this writer that we find an
awkward sentence similar to the one begin-
ning, "A further proof ... is mani-
fested by"
So strongly and convincingly poetic are the
closing verses of "Abelard at St. Marcel"
("Rashly we sowed . . . etc.") that the
weak first half seems the more disappointing
as we re-read, for the diction is annoyingly
uneven. The poem as a whole is rich in
poetic feeling. "Maid of the winning ways"
seems unsatisfactory for Heloise, especially as
Abelard's transmuted passion dwelt on her.
"What sad changes brings each year" is too
commonplace a verse in a poem which, how-
ever it baffles, yet delights because of the hint
and promise of possible achievement.
The sketch "The Island Belle" is for the
greater part well-written yet it gives little
decided flavor, and the ending is questionable,
and if intended to justify the tale, hardly
does so. Nevertheless, the reviewer admits
that the objection to such denouements is
largely a matter of personal feeling. There
is a certain crudity throughout the fourth
paragraph (p. 231) especially in such a
sentence as "She wanted to be with
young people of her own type more" and in
the phrase "her delicate submission." "On
arriving at the station a tug was summoned"
is an instance of loose grammar rare in the
pages of the Quill. Would not the author of
this tale do well to try his powers of careful
narration in the realm of dispassionate histor-
ical writing, or to attempt the serious or
didactic essay?
With stories, essay, and poems all well
above the average college publication, this is
an especially creditable number of the Quill;
but it is to be hoped that succeeding numbers
will not leave the burden of contribution to the
editors, who furnish also the Postman, which
shows an appreciation of good college verse,
and the Gray Goose Tracks which in this num-
ber has more content than usual and is a bit
brighter and more readable to the "general
public." Ordinarily this department adds lit-
tle to the Quill and fails to utilize its oppor-
tunity.
The plea in Silhouettes is admirable in idea
and suggestive for future articles in this
department, but its contention that "Painting
and sculpture have a stronger claim on our
aesthetic nature than poetry or music" may be
open to discussion. First, however, it would
be necessary to have the writer explain just
what is meant by "have a stronger claim."

DELTA KAPPA EPSILON CONVENTION
The sixtieth annual convention of the Delta
Kappa Epsilon Fraternity was held at Springfield,
Mass., on October 14, 15, and 16, under the auspices
of the chapters at Amherst and Williams. The
convention was one of the most successful and
largest ever held, there being delegates present from
thirty-nine out of the forty-one chapters. The pro-
gram of the convention included a smoker at
Amherst, several business sessions in Springfield, a
ride around the country, a theatre party, and a ban-
quet, which closed the session. The delegates from
the Theta Chapter of Bowdoin were F. A. Burton,
'07, and T. E. Hacker, '07. Bowdoin was also rep-
resented by H. DeForest Smith, '91; L. C. Hatch,
'95; J. C. Minot, '96; C. M. Robinson, '08; G. P.
Hyde, '08; A. A. Putnam, '08; A. W. Merrill, '08;
H. M. Marsh, '09; R. O. Brewster, '09; and H. H.
Burton, '09.
BATES WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The victory of Bowdoin over Maine last Saturday
gives the State Championship to Bates. This is the
first time that Bates has had a clear and undisputed
title. In 1902 Bates and Maine tied for the Cham-
pionship, but it was generally conceded to Maine
by comparative scores.
Bates began the season under discouraging cir-
cumstances, nine of her previous season's men having
left college. But by her winning the championship
great credit is due to Capt. Schumacher, and above
all to Coach Purington, who, from unpromising
material, developed the championship team of the
State.

Owing to the fact that
Next Orient there will be adjourns in
all college exercises from
next Wednesday noon until the follow-
ing Monday, the next issue of the Orient
will not appear until Friday, Dec. 7.
The Sophomore Class has
Sophomore Hop decided to give a formal
dance, under its auspices,
to the members of the football team this Fri-
day evening. The Orient is glad to see a
custom started which shall in some way
recognize the efforts of the football team who,
whether they win or lose, put in a harder two
months' fight for the college's name, than do
the members of any other athletic team. There
is no college dance, until late in January, and
a dance like this, open to the whole college,
paid for by admission tickets, and given in
honor of our football team, should meet with
general aproval.
_. . . . The Orient wishes to call
Thanksgmng attention to a notice in
another column relative to
cuts before and after the Thanksgiving recess.
As is stated, cuts at either of these times will
be a serious offense, and all students need to
bear this in mind.
The faculty has been exceedingly liberal in
its treatment of the students in regard to the
extension of the recess and it is necessary for
the best interests of the college that there be
no cutting before or after. Everyone should
read the notice carefully.
The Orient would ask
To the Alumni the alumni to send all the
alumni personals possible.
The worth of the college paper to the gradu-
ate is determined in a large measure by the
news it contains concerning men in college in
previous years. The greater part of this must
of necessity come from the alumni themselves.
The deaths are usually secured without much
difficulty but the changes in business, or loca-
tion and a thousand other items stand a small
likelihood of reaching the editors except from
the alumni. All contributions of this kind
will be a great help in making the Orient
interesting to the graduate.
The football season closed
Our Football Season last Saturday by a victory
which will serve to wipe
out the memory of the season's earlier defeats
and disappointments. The victory over Maine
showed, as has been so often shown before,
that Old Bowdoin msut always be reckoned
with until the last game is over. We con-
gratulate Captain Drummond, the coaches,
and the team on the well-earned victory at
Orono.
The present season has been unique in
Bowdoin's football history. Changes in the
coaching system, eligibility rules, and in the
game itself, caused confusion and inevitable
mistakes, and if we profit by this year's expe-
rience, the next season should be very suc-
cessful. The season of 1907 may seem a long
distance away, but it is not too early to pre-
pare for it.
While we lose several good men in the
present Senior Class, there is a wealth of
good material from which to fill their places,
without considering the next entering class.
The letter from "Alumnus" in last week's
BOWDOIN ORIENT
169
issue contains ideas which must appeal to
every one. It must be admitted that both
undergraduates and alumni do not favor such
trips as the recent one to Cornell, which are
undesirable in many ways ; but on the other
hand, there is a growing sentiment in favor
of closer relations with Tufts, Wesleyan and
Williams, whom we can meet on fairly even
terms.
We should, if possible, have at least two
games with New England colleges in Port-
land every season. These would be con-
venient for the student body, (which does not
see the team play as often as it should) and
would serve to bring Bowdoin before the rest
of New England, as nothing else could. The
financial side should not be forgotten, for, the
splendid patronage which Portland has always
given to Bowdoin teams would enable the
management to give liberal guarantees to the
visiting teams, and make the season a financial
success.
NOTICE
Thanksgiving Recess will extend from
Wednesday, November 28, at 12.30 p.m." to
Monday, December 3, at 8.30 a.m.

teams were present and some lively scrimmage
work was indulged in.
Harold B. Weiler, '08, is out of college at pres-

this author are at present in great demand at the
Library.
Friday evening a rousing mass-meeting was held
in Memorial Hall to arouse enthusiasm for the
Maine game. Capt. Drummond presided, and the
speakers were Manager Allen, Professor Sills,
Coaches LaFerriere and Beane, and E. C. Plummer
of the Class .of '87. All spoke hopefully of the
Maine game and eulogized the Bowdoin spirit to the
highest degree. The speech of Mr. Plummer was
the best that has been given at a Bowdoin mass-
meeting for a long time. After the meeting the
bleacher seats were put on sale, and students who
had not signed their intentions of going with the
team were given a chance to do so.
THE FACULTY
Professor W. T. Foster will speak before the
Christian Fraternity at Exeter Academy, Nov. 25.
Prof. Robinson and Mrs. Robinson left Sunday
for Mexico. They arrived at Chicago on Tuesday
and there joined the special train which will take
the delegates to the American Public Health Asso-
ciation to Mexico. The party takes a considerable
tour of the southwest and Mexico before arriving
at the city.- En route they will visit Kansas City,
Colorado, the Grand Canon, the Garden of the Gods,
the Petrified Forest, Vera Cruz, and the old ruins
and natural wonders of that region. The train does
not arrive in Mexico City until December 2, where
the meetings of the Association will continue for a
week. Professor and Mrs. Robinson intend to
travel somewhat on the way home and are not
expected to arrive home until after Christmas.
ART BUILDING NOTES
Mr. Edward P. Warren, the distinguished expert
in classical antiquities, through whom the Misses
Walker secured the Greek Amphora for their col-
lection, has recently given to the college a marble
bust of the Emperor Antonius Pius. The work
dates from the life time of that Emperor (on the
throne from 138 to i6r A. D.), and in its glossy
finish shows well the workmanship of the time. It
is a portrait of great dignity, and has suffered
only slight mutilation. It is placed on a pedestal in
the southwest corner of the Sculpture Hall, of which
it is a distinguished ornament.
Three other works of sculpture, consisting of a
low-relief of the Alexandrian Age, a marble Head
of Christ, it is supposed, and a fragment of Assyrian
sculpture, have also been received at the Art Build-
ing from the same source and will be exhibited
before long. These pieces of original classic sculp-
ture will be valuable additions to the collections,
for although of course it is necessary that we have
more casts of the world famous sculpture, it yet
adds much to have some examples of the real handi-
work of the Ancient Romans.
Professor Johnson has recently asked Professor
Hutchins to put on exhibition and for sale enlarge-
ments of the principal photographs which he took
while abroad last summer, or when on his earlier
sale. There are now a few of the photographs
at the Art Building, and the whole will be ready
for exhibition within a week.
Within the past week the low relief of Hercules
has been put in place on one of the pilasters in the
Sculpture Hall. The light from the dome is of
excellent effect in showing the good qualities of this
classical original, which is placed just at the
side of the bust of Antonius Pius.
An important addition to the works of American
artists has just been made to the college collections
by Mrs. Annie L. Cummings of Portland, who has
given to the college a set of the valuable illustra-
tions of Shakespeare's plays, drawn by Mr. F. O.
C. Darley in the last ten years of his life. These
drawings are temporarily on exhibition in the Bow-
doin Gallery, with quotations from Shakespeare,
showing what point each drawing represents. It
will be remembered that Miss Walker gave, not
long before her death, the set of original Darley's
illustrations of Evangeline now exhibited in the
Walker Gallery.
There will be exhibited shortly in the Bowdoin
Gallery a set of large illustrations of the Parthenon,
loaned by the Library Art Club.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On Thursday, November 15, President Hyde con-
ducted an informal questionaire, and answered such
"Practical Questions of College Life" as were put
to him. Questions were written out and passed to
the President who selected such as were practical
and answered them. There was much interest
taken in the meeting and the hall was crowded with
students.
VEREIN MEETING
The Deutscher Verein held the first meeting of
the year at New Meadows Inn last Friday evening.
The meeting was a purely business one. J. S. Ley-
don was elected "Vorsitzender," M. P. Whipple,

HARE AND HOUND
The second of the series of hare and hound races
was held Wednesday of last week. The hares,
Tefft, '09, Ludwig, '10, Kimball, '10, and Simmons,
'09, succeeded in making their den, the gymnasium,
about two minutes before they were overtaken by
the hounds. The course was about eight miles in
length, and was about as follows: From the gymna-
sium to the rifle range, across the plains to Coffin's
Pond, from there through the woods to the Mere
Point road about a mile to Longfellow's Avenue,
through Longfellow's Avenue to Coffin's, and from
there back to the gymnasium. The hounds were
Colbath, '10, R. D. Morss, '10, P. H. Morss, '10,
Weeks, '10, Morrison, '08, A. Robinson, '08, D. Rob-
inson, '07, Chadbourn, '07, Powers, '09, Weston, '10,
Voter, '09, Sturdevant, '09, Gray, '08, Wing, 10,
McLaughlin, '10, and Smith, '10.
THE SHOW
Now that the football season is over, active work
will commence on the college show by the Baseball
Association. It has been decided to present this
about January 18. A new style of entertainment has
been planned. The idea of the first half of the show
is for the curtain to rise on a scene representing a
fete day or some similar idea. The chorus will be
composed of students, and then the customary "end
men" will appear as travelling entertainers. This
will vary the monotony of the stereotyped minstrel
show form. The second part will contain a number
of bright vaudeville sketches. It will be a strictly
Bowdoin show throughout, by college ability alone.
Rehearsals will commence directly after Thanksgiv-
ing, and it is hoped that there will be a generous
response to the request for help as the aid of all is
needed in making the show a success.
PRESIDENT HYDE AT CHAPEL
At chapel Sunday Pres. Hyde spoke on the im-
portance of every student taking upon himself some
particular duty connected with the college life and
attending to it as though it was a part of his own
private affairs. In this way, he said, a student
becomes a leader, and is prepared to take the posi-
tion of a leader after he leaves college. About 90
per cent, of the college activities are performed by
about ten per cent, of the students. Every student
should be fitted while in college to become a leader
in some one thing, and not belong to the much larger
class of those who are led.
JOHN IRWIN COMING SOON
It is expected that John Irwin, the baseball coach,
will come down for a week or ten days directly after
Thanksgiving to look over the baseball material for
next spring and make arrangements for the cage
work. Irwin will appear in the spring about March
15. All baseball players should make especial
efforts to see him during this time.
THE "B" MEN
At the time of going to press the Orient cannot
give the exact list of "B" men as the Council meeting
was not held in time for this issue. On the basis of
playing the whole of two or parts of three major
games, which usually include the Maine College and
Tufts games, the following men would receive the
coveted letter : McDade, Newman, Garcelon, Com-
mins, Stacey, Greene, Speake, Gastonguay, J. Drum-
mond, Stanley, Manter, Lee. Four other men who
have played one entire game and practically the
whole of another are Sewall, Ellis, Draper and
Webber.
BANOOR BANQUET
Bowdoin men feel very grateful to the Bangor
alumni for the fine banquet given the football men
after the game last Saturday. Bowdoin is noted for
her loyal alumni, but it is safe to say that none are
more so than those residing about Bangor. The
football men fully appreciated their kindness.

SYRACUSE DEBATE
According" to present indications it is more
than likely that Bowdoin will meet Syracuse
University in debate sometime during the com-
ing winter. Some time ago, the Bowdoin
Debating Council received a letter from the
New York University asking for a debate
with Bowdoin and signifying a willingness to
enter into a two-year agreement and intimat-
ing the advisability of a triangular league
consisting of Bowdoin, Syracuse and some
third college some time in the future.
The matter was considered at a meeting of
the Bowdoin Council just before the Thanks-
giving recess and Syracuse notified that Bow-
doin would be willing to debate if satisfactory
arrangements could be made.
A second letter was received the present
week stating under what conditions Syracuse
would prefer to debate, among other things
mentioning faculty coaching. Bowdoin has
never had faculty coaching and as to just what
action will be taken in this connection cannot
yet be stated. A further letter of inquiry has
been sent to Syracuse to find out if they would
be willing to give up their system under any
condition. If they decide not to do so, the
Bowdoin Council will have to decide whether
they will be willing to debate under faculty
coaching arrangements. It is felt, however,
that some satisfactory arrangements can be
made by which the matter may be settled.
The matter of place has, of course, not been
discussed to any great extent as yet.
SPECIAL STUDENTS IN ATHLETICS
Editors of the Orient:
It is rumored that the Bowdoin Faculty is
considering the step of refusing to allow
special students to represent the college in any
branch of athletics during their first year in
the college. Speaking as a graduate who has
closely followed Bowdoin athletic affairs for
over a dozen years, I sincerely hope that no
such drastic rule will be passed — at least, not
until Bowdoin has many more students than
at present. It would be an injustice to our
athletic interests and a discrimination unwor-
thy of the Bowdoin spirit of fair play. By all
means keep the standard of admission high
for special students as well as for others, and
hold them to their work after they are
admitted, but once admitted do not deprive
them of any of the privileges of college life or
deprive the college of any benefits which may
result from their presence. Does anybody
urge that they be barred from the debating
team or from the musical clubs?
We all know that those whom Bowdoin
grudgingly admits as special students would
be welcomed to regular standing in the other
colleges of the State — not only welcomed, but
sought after and urged by every manner of
inducement to go there. If Bowdoin is to
continue to play any part in intercollegiate
athletics it cannot afford to place itself under
the unnecessary handicap of barring out any
student or group of students whom it deems
worthy of admission and who maintain the
required classroom standing. There may
have been one or two instances in the. past
decade of special students taking part in ath-
letics who ought not to have been admitted,
but this is hardly a sufficient reason for a
sweeping rule which would shut out the many
who come to Bowdoin in good faith and who
have the ability and the disposition to main-
tain the required rank while playing on the
eleven or the nine.
There is no escaping the fact that such a
rule would turn away from Bowdoin and
toward other colleges many boys who have a
liking for athletics and a natural desire to
participate in them — boys, too, in many
instances, perfectly able to keep up in their
work if admitted here. Such students would
be welcomed to Dartmouth, Amherst, Wes-
leyan and Tufts, not to mention the other
Maine colleges, and be eligible to represent
them at once in contests against us. Such a
consideration must be allowed some weight
unless we are to give up athletics together
as is perhaps the desire of some members of
the Faculty. The difficulty of gaining admis-
sion to Bowdoin is already well understood in
the preparatory schools, and in fact is often
176
BOWDOIN ORIENT
exaggerated there by the emissaries of our
sister colleges who are continually going to
desirable athletes and saying in substance : "It
is no use for you to try to get into Bowdoin ;
come with us." Sometimes they are justified
in saying this and sometimes they scare away
from Bowdoin a fellow who could gain admis-
sion here if he tried for it. In any qase such
a new rule as is suggested would make things
still harder for us in the keen and constant
competition in the fitting schools. I urge
that by its present high standards of entrance
and of work Bowdoin is sufficiently handi-
capped in athletic matters.
It is occasionally argued that the under-
graduates put too much emphasis on athletics.
I fear that some of the members of our faculty
put too little emphasis on them, and fail to
see them in their true place in undergraduate
life and as affecting the welfare of the college.
I know that Bowdoin victories and defeats in
athletics mean more to hundreds of her alumni
than those on the campus are apt to realize.
Many of the alumni feel that those in charge
of our athletic interests have been crowded
full hard enough as it is, and deeply deplore
any tendency to deplete the numbers of our
available athletes or to discourage good ath-
letes from coming to Bowdoin — whether they
come for one year or for four. Let fitness to
do the college work, not length of residence,
be the test of eligibility.
C.
GREETING TO PEARY
Every Bowdoin student who could possibly
be present was at the Railroad Station on last
Tuesday and greeted Commander Robert
Edwin Peary, 'jj, who was on the way to
New York after his dash to the pole. Com-
mander Peary made a brief address and was
cheered again and again by the assembled stu-
dents. He said in part :
"I could not resist coming out to see you,
boys. I am very deeply pleased and proud
of this greeting. It is gratifying to find that
Bowdoin students recognize the achievement
of reaching the farthest north that has been
reached by any man during three centuries of
endeavor. I assure you that my memory of
Bowdoin was never greener than during
those days in the frozen region. I am glad
that Bowdoin men feel an interest in me.
The possession, I believe, of any record of any
test of skill or strength is a desirable asset
to a man, an institution or a nation."
His speech was interrupted by frequent
cheers, and when he had finished, the students
took up the yell "Bully for Peary," and kept
it up until the train had pulled out.
COMMUNICATION
To the Editors of the Orient:
I have noticed during the last two or three
years a growing tendency to cut down the
space in the Orient allotted to Alumni News,
and the resulting scarcity of such news has
impressed on my mind the necessity of a pub-
lication devoted primarily to the interests of
Bowdoin's graduates. Such a magazine
might be issued quarterly and contain, besides
news from all classes, corporation and faculty
news, and undergraduate notes, one or two
general articles of especial interest to Bow-
doin men, pertaining to the history of the col-
lege or the State or to special studies in which
the members of the Faculty or Alumni may
be engaged. This publication would furnish
a medium for the expression of graduate opin-
ion, and, in its pages, controversies, such as
those at present appearing in the Orient,
could be fought to a finish.
Of course all such details as those above
suggested would be decided upon after the
main point, whether or not such a publication
be instituted. I do not claim any originality
in this idea ; numerous colleges, East and
West, can testify to the practicability of the
idea. William and Mary College, though a
small institution, has for years published a
"Quarterly" which has been the source of not
a little of the early colonial history of Vir-
ginia. But a Graduates' Magazine should be
instituted, not because other colleges have
done so, but because of its own merits.
The publication of this magazine would call
for a considerable amount of self-denial on
the part of those who took it directly in hand,
but surely the work is worthy of the price.
We do not for an instant, doubt the loyalty of
Bowdoin men, but think how much the knowl-
edge of the doings of her alumni from 1850
and before to 1906 will increase that Esprit de
Corps which we so cherished in our under-
graduate days ! We are justly proud of the
success of our fellow-alumni, but we only hear
of some of the most conspicuous achieve-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
177
merits, and it is safe to say that the names of
many of our successful alumni are strangers
to us. The Graduates' Magazine would
counteract this, and, by keeping the sons of
Bowdoin in touch with one another, would
make each one feel more strongly the duty he
owes to his Alma Mater.
I am writing this to the Orient in the hope
that some of the alumni may feel strongly
enough to push this matter. I know there
are numerous arguments in favor of it which
I have not stated for the reason that I believe
such arguments will readily suggest them-
selves to all readers. I am confident that if
such a publication were undertaken, it would
be a source of pride to all sons of Bowdoin.
Yours truly,
George W. Burpee, '04.

HARE AND HOUND RACE
Owing to the unseasonable cold weather
of the first of the week, no steps were taken
toward running off the hare and hound race
for the cup that has been offered by the track
management. Just when this will take place
the Orient was unable to ascertain at the
time of going to press, but Capt. Shorey stated
that it would occur as soon as the condi-
tions warranted. There has been fine interest
in the hare and hound work this fall and it is
probable that there will be from 15 or 20 men
in the contest.
every man is asked to come out. The man-
ager cannot, of course, call personally on
every man and ask each one to come out and
help. This general summons is given and we
hope all will respond. The "End Men" have
been selected and active work must commence
at once if it is to be produced on January
11, which is the desired date. The produc-
tion will be produced at least once out of town
and all helping will be taken on the trips.
Robert A. Toothaker, of Brunswick, has been
engfagred to coach the show.

Sympathy with all students, extends
most sincere sympathy to
William R. Crowley in his recent bereavement
in the loss of his father.
Probably few times in the
Peary's Ovation history of the college
has there been accorded to
an alumnus such a splendid reception as was
given Commander Peary when he passed
through Brunswick. Doubless there has
been more formal demonstrations in the
past, but certainly none which were charac-
terized with more enthusiasm or more genuine
spontaneity of feeling than that given the
great explorer.
Although Commander Peary was not
expecting the demonstration he was, never-
theless, able to make most fitting remarks. He
laid little stress on what he had accomplished,
but spoke with a loyalty toward Bowdoin
that was an inspiration to every undergrad-
uate. This fact, with the informality of the
occasion, made it something that every marl
who was there will always remember as one
of the delightful incidents of his college course.
Bowdoin has turned out many famous sons,
but it is safe to say that none of them are
closer to the hearts of the undergraduates
than is Commander Peary, as was attested by
the reception accorded him.
Death of The Orient regrets to
I A W II announce the loss of one
* of Bowdoin's best known
sons in the death of Chief Justice A. P. Wis-
well, which occurred very suddenly at Boston
last Monday. Judge Wiswell was a trustee
and an alumnus of which Bowdoin was proud.
Bowdoin mourns the loss of one of her loyal
sons and the State one of her brightest men.
The Orient is pleased to
Communications welcome an unusually
large number of communi-
cations in the recent issues. Few features of
the college weekly can be made of more inter-
est and worth to the college than a frank dis-
cussion of matters of college importance
through the columns of the paper. The
Orient hopes that they will continue to come
in. during the remainder of the year.
There appears to be con-
Hockey siderable interest in hocky
at present and there is
reason to believe that the college would be
able to produce a first-class team this winter.
There has been more or less discussion of this
sport for several years past, and two years
ago arrangements were made for a rink on
Whittier Field, but there did not appear to be
the interest necessary to produce a team.
This is not true now, and it is believed that
the only thing necessary is the permission of
the council.
That a good winter sport would serve to
enliven interest in athletics in general there
can be no doubt ; and in view of the unusual
amount of hockey material in college there
would seem to be no reason why the sport
should not be tried, at least experimentally.
Bowdoin has no basketball team, despite the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
179
fact that nearly every other college has such
teams, and if we put out a hocky team it
would serve to fill the want of a winter
sport. The report of the committee of the
Athletic Council, to which was referred the
matter of hocky, is awaited with interest.
It has become customary
College Rally in the past few years for
the President of the Ath-
letic Association to appoint the committee for
the Annual College Rally. Although no for-
mal motion to this effect was made at the
recent mass-meeting as has been done pre-
viously, still the Orient would recommend
that steps be taken to appoint a committee
similar to that of the past two years to take
the affair in charge. We certainly want a
good, rousing rally next spring and it is none
too early to begin preparations.
All will be glad to learn
Proposed Debate of the ' proposed debate
with Syracuse University
and will unite in the hope that the two insti-
tutions may meet in an intercollegiate contest.
Bowdoin will, of course, be engaging herself
in fast company in meeting a • college of
between 2,000 and 3,000 students, and our
men would perhaps meet some of the best
debaters in eastern colleges. On the other
hand, it is probable that the New York Uni-
versity will put out at least two teams this
year, whereas the present plan at Bowdoin is
to only engage in one. Again Wesleyan,
which is about Bowdoin's size, has met Syra-
cuse in years past, and it is understood has
won more than half of the contests. And in
any event there would be no disgrace by being
defeated by one of the largest colleges in the
East.
A strong argument in favor of debating a
first-class institution is that we have far less
at stake so far as victory and defeat is con-
cerned.
With an inferior college there is almost
nothino- to win and everything to lose. If we
win there is no great amount of credit, while a
defeat would be felt keenly. With Syracuse,
however, such an argument would not hold.
A defeat would be no disgrace, and a victory
would be a victory worth while.
Another argument in favor of such a debate
would be that it is a step out of the provincial-
ism in which our athletics have become
involved, and which is the subject of consid-
erable dissatisfaction on the part of the
alumni. Debating with a New York College
would put one of our teams where many of our
alumni believe they ought to be, and would
surely be beneficial. The Orient unites with
the greater part of the undergraduates in the
hope that the arrangements may be satisfac-
torily completed.
HOCKEY
At the last meeting of the Athletic Council
a committee in charge of Files, '08, was
appointed to investigate the matter of ice
hockey for the coming winter. Several other
colleges have decided to introduce the game
and there is reason to expect that it will be
possible to arrange games with those institu-
tions. It has been definitely decided to build a
regulation rink on Whittier Field so that it will
at least be possible to arrange class and frater-
nity games. The committee is busy making
inquiries as to the methods and expenses of
hockey at other New England colleges and
will soon have a report ready. There are a
number of men in college who have had expe-
rience in the game, and it ought to be possible
to secure a good team to represent the college.
Among those who have played are Abbott, '08,
Wight, '08, Dresser, '09, Hughes, '09,
McDade, '09, Purinton, '08, Hamburger, '10,
Ready, '10, Draper, '10, and others will doubt-
less be found later.
CERCLE FRANCAIS
The Cercle Francais held its first formal meeting
at the Psi Upsilon House on Tuesday evening,
Professor Micheleau giving a short and instructive
address on the French educational system. He
spoke of how the severity of the French discipine
tends to develop the mind at the expense of the
body. The French school boy has no games like
our football, basketball or baseball and practically
his only form of exercise is short walks into the
country, accompanied on all occasions by his teacher.
The average school boy of France is much younger
than the average American school boy. This is
caused by the fact that after the age of twenty-one
all the men in France are eligible to be drafted into
the army. Thus if a man desires an education, he
has to acquire it before he reaches his majority.
The conversation of the evening was carried on
almost entirely in the French language, and at the
close several French songs were sung. The Cercle
contemplates staging some French plays at the end
of the year.

HON. A. P. WISWELL, 73
Hon. Andrew P. Wiswell, '73, Chief Justice
of the Maine Supreme Court, died very sud-
denly in Boston on Tuesday, December 4.
Judge Wiswell and his wife had been staying
at the Hotel Touraine for about a week, when
the Judge was taken ill with heart disease on
Monday afternoon and although attended by
a skilled doctor, died within twenty-four
hours.
Judge Wiswell, LL.D., was born in Ells-
worth, July 11, 1852, and graduated from
Bowdoin in 1873. He studied law in Ells-
worth, was admitted to the bar at the April
term of the Supreme Judicial Court in 1875,
and at once began the practice of his profes-
sion in Ellsworth. He was judge of the Ells-
worth Municipal Court from 1877 to 1881.
From 1883 to 1886 he held the position of
National Bank Examiner. He was a dele-
gate to the Republican National Convention
of 1884. From 1897 to 1899 he was a mem-
ber of the Maine House of Representatives,
being Speaker of that body in the year last
named. He was appointed Associate Justice
of the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine in
1893, an(l m 1900 became Chief Justice.
Judge Wiswell has for several years been
a member of the Board of Trustees, and not
only a loyal alumnus, but one well known by
our alumni and undergraduates, whom he has
often entertained at his home in Ellsworth.
The whole college mourns his death, and
extends its sympathy to his widow, Mrs.
Emma Wiswell.

BRUNSWICK, MAINE, DECEMBER 14, 1906
NO. 19
DEATH OF BOWDOIN'S OLDEST GRADUATE
Bowdoin men everywhere will be pained
to learn of the death of ex-Gov. Garcelon, '36,
whose death occurred at the home of his
daughter in Medford, Mass., last Saturday
morning.
Dr. Garcelon was, at the time of his
death, the oldest living graduate of Bowdoin
College, and his presence at Commencement
was an incident of the week to which hundreds
of alumni of the college, looked to with in-
terest.
Ex-Gov. Alonzo Garcelon was born in Lew-
iston, which had always been his home,
May 6, 1813. His father, Colonel William Y.
Garcelon, was a prominent citizen of that
town, and the owner of a large farm on which
the son worked during his youth, attending
the town school during the winter. He after-
wards studied at the academies in Monmouth,
Waterville and Newcastle entering Bowdoin
College in 1832, from which he was graduated
in 1836. During his college course a consider-
able part of his expenses was paid by money
which he earned by teaching school in the
winter.
After graduation he taught three terms at
the Alfred academy, and then began the
study of medicine at the Dartmouth Medical
school and under the private instruction of
the famous Dr. Muzzey. When, in 1838, the
latter was called to a professorship in the
Medical college of Ohio at Cincinnati, Mr.
Garcelon accompanied him to take advantage
of the greater facilities that a large hospital
practice and numerous surgical operations
would afford. Graduating from that institu-
tion in 1839, Dr. Garcelon returned to Lew-
iston and began the practice of his profession.
He soon gained prominence as a physician and
built up a large practice.
Politically he was reared a Whig, but his
admiration of President Jackson for the stand
he took against nullification led him to join
the Democrats. Being strongly opposed to
slavery, however, he afterwards became a Free
Soiler. During the Civil War he was a
Republican, but not agreeing with the party
in its reconstruction policy, and the impeach-
ment of President Johnson, he withdrew and
again joined the Democratic party of which
he has since been a member.
Dr. Garcelon represented Lewiston in the
Legislature in 1853 and 1857, and was in the
State Senate in 1855. In 1868 he was the
Democratic candidate for representative in
Congress from the Second District. In 1871
he was elected mayor of Lewiston, being the
first Democrat to hold that office.
When the election of 1878 took place in
Maine, the State was deeply stirred by a so-
called Greenback movement. Dr. Garcelon
was the Democratic nominee for Governor.
At the election that followed Gov. Conner
received 56,544 votes, Joseph L. Smith 41,371,
and Alonzo Garcelon 28,218. In the State
Legislature, to which the election was referred,
because no candidate had, as the law required,
a majority of the votes cast, the Republicans
in the House of Representatives had 65 mem-
bers, while the Democrats and Greenbackers
combined had 86. The duty of the house was
to choose two persons having the highest num-
ber of votes, and Dr. Garcelon and Smith
received 85 votes each.
The procedure then was to submit these
two names to the Senate for final choice. In
that body there were 20 Republicans and 11
Greenbackers, and the Republicans chose
Garcelon, the Democrat, instead of the Green-
backer, Smith.
Dr. Garcelon married Ann Augusta Wal-
dron of Somersworth, N H, who died in
1857, leaving four cihldren. In 1859 he
married Olivia N. Spear of Rockland. They
had one daughter.
The funeral was held from the City Hall
in Lewiston, Wednesday afternoon, in the
presence of the largest assemblage of the kind
ever held in that city. President William
DeWitt Hyde delivered the eulogy.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
LECTURE BY ELLERY CLARKE
Ellery H. Clarke, the American all-round
track champion, gave a pleasing address in
Memorial Hall, on Thursday evening of last
week upon, "Track and Field Athletics." The
address was given under the auspices of the
Bowdoin Christian Association, and its pur-
pose was to arouse enthusiasm in track
team work. The hall was well filled with
interested listeners, and the remarks of Mr.
Clarke made a fine impression.
In opening, Mr. Clarke stated that athletics
should be considered under three heads, phy-
sical, mental, and moral. He spoke first of
the physical side, and said that a reasonable
amount of athletics is good for everybody.
Athletics are divided into so many branches
that a man of any build or weight can
find some branch which is suited to him,
and which he can follow. No bad results
need result from athletics, but on the other
hand, they do a man much good in building
up his body. The only danger is, that a boy
may begin athletic work when too young, and
thereby injure himself.
Speaking of the mental side of athletics, Mr.
Clarke stated that this is the chief charm of
every athletic event. Brains are needed in
every form of athletics, for there is a right
way and a wrong way of performing every
event. Many coaches do not thoroughly
understand this, and for this reason, there are
only a few good coaches in the country.
The moral side was the last considered by
Mr. Clarke. He stated that athletics should
be played fair, and that the best man should
win. Men should go into the games for fun,
and not with the simple idea of winning. At
the schoolboy age, the athletics are not far
enough advanced to fully understand the dif-
ference between right and wrong, and accord-
ingly unfairness is often seen in the school
games.
A fine set of lantern views was exhibited,
illustrating the various positions of well-
known men in the dashes, and in the distance
runs. The old form of hurdling was shown,
and also the modern, and better form. Views
of well known college men and professionals,
taken while in the act of performing the
several jumping events were next shown. The
last of the events shown were the weights.
A series of pictures taken at the Olympic
games in '96 at which Mr. Clarke was one of
the winners, closed the series.
In closing, Mr. Clarke eulogized B. C. Mor-
rill, '10, who at present is coaching the track
squad. Mr. Clarke and Morrill have been
friends for many years, and Mr. Clarke
stated that he knew what he was saying when
he told the students that in Morrill they had
a valuable man. He hoped to see the track
team victorious this spring in the Maine meet,
and next year, if not this year, in the New
•England meet.
At the close of the meeting hearty cheers
were given for both Mr. Clarke and Morrill.
IN MEMORY OF JUDGE WISWELL
To the Bowdoin Orient:
Bowdoin commencements will not seem the
same again to the Class of '73 because Andrew
Wiswell has gone. We all came to look for-
ward to meeting him as one of the most pleas-
ant events of commencement time. He was
so fond of meeting his classmates, and took
such genuine pleasure in their company, that
he seemed to count it a personal loss if those
who could do so, did not attend all the class
reunions. And at such gatherings he was
in his happiest moods. Modest about his own
achievements, he took great pleasure in hear-
ing of the success of any of his classmates,
and no one was more ready with heartfelt sym-
pathy for any who had met with reverses.
Amidst all the manifestations of sorrow
throughout the State, from the Chief Execu-
tive to the humblest citizen, none will be more
genuine and heartfelt, than that of the class
of '73-
D. A. R. '73.
LAST SUNDAY'S CHAPEL
At last Sunday's chapel exercises President
Hyde spoke in a feeling manner of the late
Judge Wiswell, paying a splendid tribute to
the deceased, both as a man and as a judge.
In the course of his remarks President Hyde
said : "Genial and courteous as a man, clear
and thorough as a lawyer, fair and expedi-
tious as a judge, he fulfilled socially, profes-
sionally and personally the high requirements
of the exalted office which he held."

March. It will probably be given at Bruns-
wick and before the "L' Alliance" of Portland.
With the completion of the present text-book,
a collection of Lessing's early plays, the class
in German 9 has already covered some eight
or nine thousand lines of hard, archaic Ger-
man prose, and will undoubtedly in the course
of the year cover far more ground than has
ever been done by any class in the history of
the college.

n ,. . Again this week Bowdoin
n ^ ea n ° . mourns the loss of one of
Ex=Gov. Garcelon her begt known alumni
In the death of ex-Governor Garcelon the
college not only loses her oldest graduate,
but a man of whom she was particularly-
proud. Ex-Governor Garcelon has been appro-
priately called "Maine's Grand Old Man."
A long and useful life, filled with the elements
that go to make up true success, the whole
State as well as the college, feels a genuine
loss. For years his presence at Bowdoin's
Commencement has been an incident which
the young as well as the old have looked for-
ward to as one of the inspiring incidents of
Commencement day. Having the distinction
of being the oldest living graduate, as he
headed the line of march he made a picture
that hundreds of Bowdoin men will always
associate with Commencement, and the gradu-
ation day exercises to the older graduate will
never be quite the same.
It is planned to issue the
Next Issue next Orient on Thursday
of next week, instead of
Friday, owing to the fact that many of the
students will be going home in the early part
of the latter day.
Plans are being made for
Track Squad the formation of a track
squad to meet three times
a week for regular work. This work will be
additional to the regular gym. work, but will
doubtless prove of great benefit to the candi-
dates for next spring's team. It is to be hoped
that a large number of men will enter the
squad.
The Orient hopes that
College Show every one who possibly
can will turn out for the
Show rehearsals which are about to begin.
The annual show has proved itself to be one
of the delightful events of the college year
and it will be necessary that there be the best
of interest in order to keep the entertainment
up to the standard of past years. The Base-
ball Association wishes to make it as great a
financial success as possible and genuine sup-
port on the part of the students is the only
thing that can make it so.
The first college tea of the
First College Tea present winter will be held
this afternoon in Hubbard
Hall, and it is hoped that there may be a large
attendance of the students. These teas have
been held for the past three years and have
proved themselves among the pleasant events
of the winter season. They are designed to
encourage a closer acquaintanceship between
the students and the members of the Faculty
and their families and as such may be made
occasions of pleasure and profit.
The Orient congratulates
Track Coach the college on the action of
the Athletic Council in
selecting Morrill, 'io, as track coach for the
coming season. In so doing they have not
only saved a large sum of money, but have
secured the services of a man who has a first-
class knowledge of athletics, if the recom-
mendations of some of the best authorities may
be trusted.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
l&
There was a natural hestitation on the part
of those in charge about selecting Mr. Morrill,
owing to the fact that the step was something
of a departure and in the fear that the case
would open us to criticism in some quarters.
On mature consideration, however, it was felt
that the step was most advisable. Many of
the larger colleges have undergraduate coach-
ing and it is safe to say that the only reason
that smaller institutions have not done the
same, has been because of the absence of com-
petent men. And if at this time Bowdoin has
such a man in her student body there is no
reason whatever that he should not be per-
mitted to coach.
Bowdoin was pleased to
Mr. Clarke's Lecture have the opportunity of
welcoming Ellery H.
Clarke on Thursday evening of last week and
of listening to his fine lecture on "Track and
v Field Athletics." As is well known, Mr.
Clarke is not only one of the best athletes in
the country but is also of the kind that is
admired. He is a firm believer "In fair play
and may the best man win," and for this
reason also his lecture was one of peculiar
interest.
Mr. Clarke graduated from Harvard in '96
and from the Law Schol in '99. He was the
winner of the high and broad jumps at Athens
in '96, the winner of the National All-Round
Track Championship in '97 and again in '03.
He has a collection of nearly 300 prize cups,
trophies and gold and silver medals, which
he has won at different contests.
Mr. Clarke has been a member of the Bos-
ton School Board for two terms, being the
chairman of the Committee on Hygiene and
Physical Culture. He is also the author of
well-known law books, dealing with electric
railways. He is much interested in settlement
work, having lived three years in the poorer
district of Boston. He is also a member of the
Boston Athletic Association.
The college owes thanks to Mr. Clarke for
his kindness in delivering his lecture free of
charge, and also to Morrill, '10, who was
instrumental in bringing Mr. Clarke to us. It
is said Mr. Clarke may make Bowdoin again
some time in the spring, and if he does he is
assured of a warm welcome.

REPEATING SHOT GUN
NEW MODEL N9I7
Here Is the cheapest good gun yet made. By the omission of the takedown feature we have
been able to greatly reduce the cost of production and at the same time have kept the gun up to the
famous high 7/larfzn standard of strength, safety and durability. Notice the clean simplicity of
this gun. The workmanship and finish are perfect. The weight is only 7 pounds. The full choke
barrels are especially bored for smokeless, as well as black powder and so chambered that 2% inch or
z,8 inch shells may be used. Several improvements in the operating parts make it the easiest, most
le and best working gun in existence. We are glad to make it possible for every lover of guns
and bird shooting to get this high grade repeating shot gun at so low a price.

THE NOVEMBER QUILL
With the November issue the labors of the
present Quill board draw near their close; and
it is a pleasure to have this opportunity to
record that the members of the board deserve
well of the college for their disinterested and
successful service. Volume X measures well
up to the standard set ten years ago, and has
contained much that is from a college stand-
point of unusual literary merit. The chief
criticism that a person interested in the literary
activities of the college would have to offer is
that there has been on the whole perhaps too
much outside assistance, too little work by the
undergraduates themselves. The members of
the board have often times stepped nobly into
the breach, but their efforts have not been
furthered by others in the college as well as
they have merited. The defect can only
be remedied by a revival of interest in intellec-
tual and literary things, and it is gratifying to
believe that signs of such a revival are today
abroad in the land.
The November Quill is an interesting and
well-rounded number. In addition to the
usual departments it contains an article by a
member of the faculty, a story by a young
alumnus, a sketch and four bits of verse by
undergraduates. As a rule one article from
the alumni or the faculty should suffice but for
reasons already stated through no fault of the
Quill board the rule has sometimes to be
modified in order that the high standard of
the paper be maintained. The leading article
on the Greek play at Harvard is written with
unusual sympathy and enthusiasm and will be
of more and more interest as the years go by.
"Mountfort's Protracted Town Meetin' "
(despite the protracted and awkward title), a
successful sketch of New England town life,
is by far the best work that its author has yet
contributed to the Quill. "A Night in Man-
churia," although properly neither a story nor
a sketch, contains some excellent descriptions.
If it had been written in the first person it
would have escaped much of the stiff awk-
wardness that in places mars the style. Of the
other prose articles, "Ye Postman" is well
written and makes some judicious selections
from current college journalism. Not so much
can be said of the "Gray Goose Tracks." It
seems sad to waste valued space on the ortho-
graphic eccentricities of even three such excel-
lent and distinguished personages as a million-
aire, a professor of dramatic literature and a
president; and renewed discussion of the mat-
ter is a distinct bore.
The verse contributed altogether by under-
graduates deserves special comment, not so
much because of its intrinsic worth, but
because it denotes a healthy interest in the
handling of words and in technique — things
which are, by the way, of more importance
than is commonly supposed, in learning how to
write. "Where Spirit Voices Flow" has lilt
and melody and is of unusual merit. "The
Autumn Night," although not distinguished, is
a pleasant enough treatment of a conventional
theme; and "Matins" has a certain firmness
of touch which is promising. The lines "To a
Friend," open uncommonly well :
"My little loves are little lights
That twinkle in the sky o' nights ;"
And although the lyrical quality is not too
well sustained, particularly in the last few
lines, the poem is original and musical. With
as much interest in verse as is here displayed,
it is not perhaps vain to hope that our poets
will continue to refrain from draped adjectives
and funereal verbs and turn their attention
more and more to the lighter forms of verse —
to the triolet, the rondel and the ballade. The
great questions of life and death and fate can
safely be left to the great poets; but there is
every reason for preserving some of the idle
dreams and fancies and hopes of undergrad-
uate days in appropriate verse form.
Finally, if the Quill is to hold its place, it
must be more actively supported by the stu-
dent body. As the editor reminds us, we are
notoriously careless about giving proper
encouragement to our publications, particu-
larly when it comes to subscriptions — an evi-
dence an enemy might say, of the double
standard of ethics that sometimes prevails
amongst college men. Yet after all the youth
i96
BOWDOIN ORIENT
who goodnaturedly postpones payment of his
subscription forever and a day, who is not care-
ful about his obligations and strictly honorable
in all his college dealings, is the father of the
business man who leaves one set of morals at
home and who sometimes regards it as per-
fectly legitimate not to tell the exa<jt truth.
That the college man should be through and
through the good fellow is of course much to
be desired ; but the good fellow who does not
cultivate any of the sterner virtues is not likely
to develop into the best citizen. The moral
of all this is, of course, that it would be a pity
to have any of our organizations embarrassed
because we are careless or indifferent about
the support we give them. And the true
interests of the college would suffer as much
if the Quill were not kept up to a proper
standard as it would if no one should take any
interest in the football team.

ALUMNI NEWS
To the Editor of the Orient:
It was certainly most generous on the part
of the Orient to publish the communication
of Mr. Burpee, proposing another Bowdoin
periodical. The effect of his scheme, if car-
ried out, would be to diminish the interest the
alumni have in the Orient, and so to cause
its circulation' to decrease. My own opinion
is that two periodicals are as many as the
Bowdoin constituency can support. No one
can feel more strongly than I do that the col-
lege, the alumni and the undergraduates suffer
a serious loss by reason of the fact that the
Orient is not the link between undergradu-
ates and alumni that it ought to be. But my
remedy would be different from Mr. Burpee's.
The Orient should make itself an organ of
the alumni, as well as a chronicler of the small
beer of undergraduate life. In order to
become such an organ it should make an effort,
by ways well known, to increase its circula-
tion among the alumni, and it should find
means to obtain news of the alumni. No one
who can earn a decent living is a "loyal Bow-
doin man" unless he takes the Orient, — that
is to say if the Orient provides him with the
news about his classmates and others which
he wishes to know.
In short, there is duty on both sides : First,
upon the editors of the Orient to supply the
intelligence which will make it worth while for
the alumnus to subscribe for it ; secondly,
upon every alumnus to send you his two dol-
lars a year.
What reason is there to think that another
board of editors would succeed in getting more
alumni news than is at the service of the
Orient.? And isn't it certain that if another
periodical devoted to alumni alone were
started, the Orient would have to depend
entirely upon undergraduates for its support?
Edward Stan wood, 1861.
FIRST COLLEGE TEA
The first College Tea of the year was held
in the Alumni Room of Hubbard Hall on Fri-
day afternoon, and proved to be a most suc-
cessful event.. The special guests were
the ladies of Brunswick, and there were a large
number present, including not only the older
ladies, but also many younger people.
Alumni Room was prettily decorated with
evergreens, potted plants, and cut flowers,
arranged in a very artistic manner, which
added much to the attractiveness of the room.
In the receiving line were Mrs. William
DeWitt Hyde, Mrs. Leslie A. Lee, Mrs. Ros-
coe J. Ham, and Miss Helen Chapman. The
ushers were Kimball, '07, from Alpha
Delta Phi; Burton, '07, from Delta Kappa
Epsilon ; Sturtevant, '09, from Theta Delta
Chi ; Lawrence, '07, from Zeta Psi ; Sawyer,
'07, from Delta Upsilon; Linnell, '07, Beta
Theta Pi.
Refreshments of punch, coffee, tea, fancy
crackers and candy were served. Mrs. Henry
Johnson was in charge of the tea table, assisted
by Mrs. Samuel Furbish, Misses Dorothy
Johnson, Margaret Sutherland, Helen Eaton,
and June Atkinson, Mrs. George T. Little and
Mrs. Frank E. Woodruff presided at the punch
bowl, and were assisted in serving by Miss
Bertha Stetson, Miss Louise Weatherill, Miss
Sally Johnson, and Miss Sarah Pennell. Mrs.
William A. Houghton served coffee, assisted
by Miss Majorie Prince, Miss Lillian Odione,
Miss Alice Knight, and Miss Isabel Fors^ith.
The tea was attended by an unusually large
number of the students, who took the oppor-
tunity to become better acquainted with
Brunswick people. The next Tea will be held
on January 1 1 , when special guests from Port-
land will be present.

PRESIDENT HYDE'S TRIP
President Hyde will return to-night from a
busy week's trip to various places. Last Fri-
day he lectured in Haverhill, Mass., being one
of the speakers in the City Hall lecture Course.
Saturday he went to Portland where he
attended a meeting of a committee from the
trustees and overseers of the college on matters
of business, and Sunday he preached in the
Eliot Church at Newton, Mass. On Monday
he lectured in Lynn and Tuesday attended a
meeting of the trustees of Exeter Academy at
Exeter. Wednesday he spoke at the dinner
tendered to Dr. Grenfell by the Merchants'
Club of Boston. Thursday he addressed the
Congregational Club of Boston on their
observation of Forefathers' Day.
COLLEGE CATALOGUE
The annual college catalogue appeared on
Monday and contains the usual facts relative
to the college. The number of students in the
institution is shown to be 375. Of this num-
ber 95 are in the Medical School and 288 in
the academic department, the latter being
divided as follows : Seniors, 47 ; Juniors, 46 ;
Sophomores, 64 ; Freshmen, 97 ; special stu-
dents, 34. According to careful calculation,
however, the Senior Class will number over 60
at the time of graduation, as an unusually
large number of men are held back because of
incompletes which will probably be made up in
time to graduate with the Senior Class.
The notable change in the catalogue that
will be of particular interest to prospective
students, is that hereafter French offered for
admission will count four points instead of
two, as has been the case in the past.
SYRACUSE DEBATE
It now seems practically settled that Bow-
doin will meet Syracuse University in an inter-
colleeiate debate sometime during the coming
winter. The matter of Faculty coaching,
which had been considered as the only ques-
tion that might cause any difficulty in arrang-
ing the debate, has been satisfactorily settled
and now nothing remains to be done but to
arrange the details.
As stated in a previous issue, the Bowdoin
Council, on learning that Syracuse would pre-
fer to have Faculty coaching, sent a letter
inquiring if they would be willing to give up
such coaching under any condition. In a let-
ter received last week the Syracuse manage-
ment stated that they would be willing to give
up the system if Bowdoin would consent to
debate in Syracuse instead of Brunswick. This
point has been granted by the Bowdoin Coun-
cil and a letter has been forwarded expressing
a willingness to enter into an agreement under
these conditions.
It is, of course, too early to say when the
debate will take place, but it would seem
probable that it might take place some time in
March.
$5,000 GIFT
The notice that was printed in the last issue
of the Orient in regard to the recent gift of
$5,000 was copied from a newspaper which
it has since been discovered was entirely mis-
informed on the subject. The facts are as fol-
lows :
Mrs. Calista S. Mayhew, of South Orange,
N. J., has presented the college with $5,000 as
a memorial to her niece, Annie Talbot Cole, the
wife of Rev. Samuel V. Cole, D.D., '74, who
died last winter while she was engaged in edu-
cational work at Wheaton Seminary. This
$5,000 is to found a lectureship known as the
Annie Talbot Cole Lectureship, and the inter-
est on the money is to be used to secure lec-
tures for the educational advancement of
Bowdoin students, the subjects of the lectures
being left to the discretion of the faculty and
of Dr. Cole.
MINSTREL SHOW REHEARSED
The first rehearsal of the Minstrel Show took
place Monday evening. There was a large
attendance and the opening overture was tried
by the chorus. This was pronounced a great
success as it is very brisk in its movement and
yet easy to learn. The scores for the different
parts had not arrived at that time, but they will
surely be here for the second rehearsal
to-night. The separate acts were not tried
over Monday night, but there will be a chance
for every one at the second rehearsal. Every-
body who can do anything to help should vol-
unteer his services.
The ends this year will be Upton, '07,
Speake, '07, Kingsley, '07, Sheehan, '09,
Smith, '10, and MacMillan, '10. The show
will occur on Friday night, January 18.

DECEMBER 21, 1906
The Orient is pleased to
Syracuse Debate announce that the Syra-
cuse debate now seems
assured. As is stated in another column, the
contest will probably take place at Syracuse.
A debate at Brunswick would, of course, have
been desirable this winter in view of the fact
that there has been no intercollegiate contest
here for three years, but since Syracuse has
conceded the more important point of faculty
coaching, our Council could not do less than
accede to their request to have the debate at
Syracuse. The Orient congratulates the
college on having secured this debate.
There has been an excel-
Preshmen at Church lent and regular attendance
among the Freshmen this
fall at the Church on the Hill. But, owing
probably to the fact that there was no Fresh-
man handbook issued, they have been
sitting wherever they please. It is, however,
a custom of long standing that the first two
rows of the south balcony are reserved for
Seniors, and the back two rows for Sopho-
mores, while the Juniors occupy the front
rows of the north balcony, and the Freshmen
the two rear rows on the same side. This cus-
tom is merely a survival of the days when
church attendance was compulsory, but since
Bowdoin has but few such customs, it is well
to preserve this one, which corresponds to the
one we observe by sitting in class forms at
chapel. The Orient trusts that Freshmen
will respect the custom in the future.
The Orient is glad to
Alumni News receive a communication
from Mr. Stanwood of the
Class of '61, relative to the matter of a grad-
uates' magazine. In regard to the reference
that is made to the lack of alumni news in the
columns of the Orient, the board wishes to
state that the securing of alumni news is the
most difficult work connected with the editing
of the college weekly. It is a very rare occur-
rence for the editors to receive contributions
from the alumni in regard to any of their num-
ber, and the result is that they have to rely
largely on their observations of the public
press. The amount that can be secured in this
way is naturally very limited, and the result is
that in many issues few alumni items appear.
The Orient is however, grateful for the
criticism that is incidentally offered by Mr.
Stanwood, and is at the present time consid-
ering a new remedy for the difficulty. In the
meantime, we would again ask the assistance
of the alumni as a whole in this matter.
The approach of the Glee
Glee Club Trips Club season brings with it
the annual discussion for
longer or more frequent trips, and incidentally
an occasional word of criticism of the faculty
for limiting the trips to the extent that has
been the case in the past few years.
At first sight it would seem that there was
some justification for the criticism. With the
splendid organization that the college pro-
duced last year, and bids fair to produce this
year, it appears unfortunate that the clubs
cannot have the opportunity to advertise the
college to the extent that the talent would cer-
tainly ensure.
It is right here, however, that the objection
to the extension of the trips is well founded.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
m
Do the clubs of Bowdoin, or any other college,
always give the kind of advertising that is
desirable? It is an unfortunate truth that
they do not. There are always some few men
each year who either never know or for a timr
forget their duty by their college and by their
conduct do more harm than they can ever do
good. The Orient learns of a good illustra-
tion. Two Bowdoin men recently visited a
Maine town in which our clubs frequently
appear, and in conversation with a leading cit-
izen of the town remarked on the small num-
ber of Bowdoin students residing there, and
incidentally asked the gentleman why such
was the case. To the surprise and pain of the
Bowdoin men he stated the conduct of some
of the men in the clubs had been such as to
give many people a strong prejudice against
the college and the gentleman stated that in his
opinion this circumstance accounted in a large
measure for the small number of students sent
to Bowdoin.
The Orient does not mention this as a crit-
icism of any of the members of the clubs that
will represent the college this winter. Indeed,
there is reason to believe that the club is in
every respect a thoroughly representative one.
It is mentioned rather to call the attention to
some of the incidents of the past that they
may be guarded against in the future.
When the clubs shall have learned to guard
against these things there is no doubt our
Faculty will do everything in their power to
give the clubs the best seasons possible. And
the Orient hopes and expects that our fine
organization of this year will take a long step
in bringing about the desired result.
PHI CHI INITIATION
The annual initiation of the Phi Chi Fra-
ternity of the Medical School was held at the
Congress Square Hotel in Portland, Saturday
evening, there being about ioo graduates and
undergraduates present. The post-prandial
exercises were presided over by Wm. T. Rowe,
'05, who is now in his last year in the Medi-
cal School.
The special guest of the evening was Dr.
Richard C. Cabot of Boston. Dr. Cabot is a
physician at the Massachusetts General Hos-
pital and professor of internal medicine at
Harvard Medical School. His subject was
"Medicine vs. Surgery as a Profession."
His treatment of the subject was both inter-
esting and scholarly and was carefully listened
to throughout.
The following physicians and members of
the fraternity were present :

HISTORY CLUB
A meeting of the men taking the course in
American History was held at the Zeta Psi
House last Friday evening for the purpose of
forming a club. A preliminary organization
was formed with Gould, '08, Putnam, '08,
and Merrill, '08, as an executive committee.
The matter of securing speakers was also
discussed. The next meeting will probably
be held on the first Friday after the Christmas
recess.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On Thursday, December 13, Leroy Coons,
'08, gave an interesting talk before the Christ-
ian Association on "The Bible from a Literary
Standpoint." He spoke of the many differ-
ent kinds of literature in the Bible ; history in
the first books of the Old Testament, chronicle
in the books of Kings and Chronicles, lyric
poetry in the Psalms, philosophy in the book
of Proverbs, drama in the Song of Solomon,
and so on. The Bible, he said, was not one
book, but a library.
For special music Miss Evelyn Stetson beau-
tifully rendered a vocal solo that was appre-
ciated by all present.
At the meeting there were distributed the
neat, little pamphlets that having been printed
by the Association, containing the purpose of
the Association, its present condition, its plans
for the future, a list of its committees, and a
calendar of the meetings for the rest of the
year. These little pamphlets may be obtained
by any one for the asking, from Neal W.
Allen, '07, and there will probably be a supply
on hand at to-night's meeting, when everybody
should get one.
This evening the speaker at the meeting will
be Professor Alfred W. Anthony, D.D., of
Lewiston, who will take as his subject "The
Folly of the Universal Negation," and M. P.
Cushing, '09, will render a piano solo for spec-
ial music.

For a number of years he had been in close touch

death. He was a man of broad intellect and wonder-

gained a very high standing in his chosen profes-

THE DECEMBER QUILL
Whoever has feared that the love of the
ideal and its expression among us were giving
way before the pressure of practical material-
ism, may take heart again over the contents of
the Holiday Number of the Quill. Here are
five poems to two prose pieces ; and of the lat-
ter, one is a criticism of a highly imaginative
poet, and the other is itself so highly imagina-
tive as to deserve the name of a prose poem.
The too brief essay entitled "The Non-
Dramatic Poetry of Marlowe," by a graduate
of the Class of '99, now a professor of English
literature, not being undergraduate work, lies
beyond the range of our criticism, though not
beyond that of our appreciation, which is
called forth both by the paper itself and by the
evidence it affords of the continuing interest of
a former Quill editor in the literary life of the
college.
The author of "Among the Mountains" has
done much good writing for the Quill, and
none better than this piece contains. The
descriptive part is particularly well done both
as to choice of language and form of expres-
sion. The incidents of the dream are some-
what less happily conceived, although not to
the extent of spoiling the pleasing effect of the
whole. A world of enchantment is difficult to
create and extremely difficult to operate
within the limits of imaginative beauty,
which mark off the magical realm
from the work-a-day world on the one side
and from chaotic insanity on the other. It is
not surprising to find in this story the conven-
tional elements of the fairy tale combined in
the traditional way ; also some inevitable jar-
ring between the worlds of fact and fancy and
chaos. Shakespeare, who
"Exhausted worlds and then created new,"
Stands almost alone as a successful enchanter;
and that doubtless because he had "exhausted
worlds" of actual life.
"Angelica's Grave," translated literally from
the Swedish, bears very few translation ear-
marks. The English diction is full of dignity
and true feeling, without departing from sim-
plicity. Perhaps the only noticeable lapse
occurs in the line
"Still understood no soul the sorrows of earth any
better."
The metre, the elegiac distich, is, no doubt,
that of the original ; and the translator has
probably managed it nearly as well as the
Swedish poet. But the Vergilian hexameter,
"the stateliest measure ever moulded by the
lips of man," and its Cousin and mate of
shorter stature, the so-called pentameter,
refuse to be moulded by the lips of even the
most gifted poet in the rough consonantal com-
binations of accentual modern speech. Tenny-
son, who so highly extols the ancient measure,
speaking of the modern imitation, says,
"These lame hexameters the strong-winged music
music of Homer !
No — but a most burlesque, barbarous experiment.
Hexameters no worse than daring Germany gave us,
Barbarous experiment, barbarous hexameters."
In several of the shorter lines of the present
poem, there is neglect of the strict requirement
that the latter half should be composed of two
dactyls and a final syllable, the substitution of
spondees for dactyls being permitted only in
the first half. A negligence of less moment is
the use of the word "heaven" as a monosylla-
ble and dissyllable, to end a pentameter and a
hexameter, in the space of four lines. Long-
fellow, in the "Evangeline," makes it uni-
formly two syllables.
The graceful and witty little poem "Misap-
prehension," is t amply and luminously
accounted for by the significant signature,
"K. D. W."
The brief pieces entitled "Hope," "The
Response," and "From a Casement," are well
up to the average of college verse. The first
is correct in form but neatly epigrammatic in
meaning, while the second falls rather short
in both respects. The last, though very good
in the first eight lines, drops seriously in the
last four. "Pale face lad" could hardly be
said except by an American Indian; and "Soft,
it's I that's sad," hisses harshly.
In "Silhouettes," between several announce-
ments and some simple and sensible farewell
206
BOWDOIN ORIENT
remarks, there is sandwiched a wholesome
and, it is to be hoped, feasible suggestion for
unifying and strengthening the social life of
the college. This is well as far as it goes, and
indicates the direction in which the "Editor's
Easy Chair" of the Quill might be more fully
developed, to the advantage of all connected
with Bowdoin. Possibly the energy that finds a
rather explosive vent in "Gray Goose Tracks"
might be utilized in the service of progress
and enlightenment, if the two departments
were combined. But if this is held undesira-
ble, more light and less smoke in the G. G. T.
would be welcome to the general reader, who
is unable to penetrate its cabalistic mirth,
although quite willing to imagine its Aristo-
phanic or Rabelaisian charm for the initiated.
That the Quill has lived and thriven for a
whole decade is a matter for congratulation
to all the friends of the college. An exclu-
sively literary publication has proved itself a
thing that the student body — though they
might indeed do more for it — will at any rate
"not willingly let die." Its former creditable
standard has been well maintained by the
retiring Board, and the character of the new
Board assures a good Quill for the coming
year. W. A. H.
TWO NEW BOWDOIN BOOKS
All Bowdoin men will be interested in the
announcement that two new Bowdoin books
are now in process of preparation and will be
published during the present winter. They
are "Bowdoin Verse," a collection of over one
hundred of the best poems contributed by both
alumni and students to the undergraduate pub-
lications of the college within the past twenty
years ; and "Under the Bowdoin Pines," a col-
lection of over 30 short stories of Bowdoin
life, including the best of those which appeared
in the earlier volumes of the Quill. The
poems in the first volume are all selected with
the approval of Professor Chapman who has
kindly consented to assist in the preparation of
the collection. This volume will be of about
160 pages, printed on heavy paper and will be
beautifully bound in crimson cloth with letter-
ing and special cover design in gold. The top
will be gilded and the edges of the pages left
rough. "Under the Bowdoin Pines" will be
a companion volume in size and shape and
will be similarly bound in green cloth with let-
tering and special design in gold. It will also
be illustrated. Some of the stories will be by
the same authors, who contributed to "Tales of
Bowdoin" in 1901 and others will be by the
best writers among our young alumni. Both
will be books in appearance and contents
which every Bowdon man and friend of the
college will be proud of and glad to have in his
library. They are being prepared and pub-
lished by J. C. Minot, '96, of Augusta,
whose work in publishing "Tales of Bow-
doin," "The Story of '96," etc., and in other
activities in behalf of the college, has
made him known to all Bowdoin men,
old and young. The books will be
sold for $1.25 each, or $2 for the two. A sub-
scription paper for the undergraduates will
be found at the library and every student
should place his name upon it.
INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATING LEAGUE
The Interscholastic Debating League which
was organized this fall by Professor W. T.
Foster is getting well under way with the pre-
liminary debates. The Edward Little High
School team, which is being coached by R. H.
Hupper and the Lewiston High School team,
which is being coached by C. W. Snow,
have chosen as the subject of their preliminary
debate this question : "Resolved, That cities
in the United States of 25,00 or more inhab-
itants should own and operate their street rail-
ways." The men chosen to represent E. L. H.
S. are: Barton, '07, Philoon, '07, Adams, '08,
and to represent Lewiston High School,
Keist, '07, Fisher, '07, and Marston, '07. The
debate will take place in the City Hall at Lew-
iston to-night.
The other two schools of the league, Gardi-
ner High School, coached by A. O. Pike, '07,
and Cony High School, coached by F. J. Red-
man, '07, have chosen for their preliminary
debate this question: "Resolved, That the
peaceable annexation of Cuba to the United
States would be for the best interests of the
United States." The team which is to repre-
sent the Cony High School has not yet been
selected, but those who are to represent the
Gardiner High School are Cobb, '07, Berry,
'07, and Holt, '07, with Parker, '08, for alter-
nate This debate is to take place in the City
Hall in Augusta, on January 18.
The teams winning these preliminary
debates will chose a new question, on which
BOWDOIN ORIENT
207
they will debate in Memorial Hall some time
during the month of April. There is consid-
erable interest being taken in each school over
these debates, and the teams selected are all
ones that will do credit to their cities.
NEW YORK ALUMNI BANQUET
The alumni dinner of the New York City-
graduates will be held on Friday, Jan-
uary 25, and probably at the Manhattan Hotel,
where it is usually held. President Hyde is
expected to be present and it is hoped that
Congressman Alexander, '70, will be one of
the principal speakers.
BOSTON ALUMNI BANQUET
The annual dinner of the Bowdoin Alumni
Association of Boston will occur on the 27th
of February next, and it will observe the one-
hundredth birthday of Bowdoin's celebrated
alumnus, Henry W. Longfellow. The speak-
ers already arranged for are Professor Barrett
Wendell of Harvard College, President Hyde,
Professor Chapman and Mr I. B. Choate, 62,
who will read a poem.
It is intended to make this a meeting of
special interest, suitable for the occasion — and
active effort will be made to secure a large
attendance.
TO RUN TUFTS
Announcement is made by Manager Lee of
the track team, that arrangements have been
made by which Bowdoin will run Tufts at the
annual B. A. A. meet. Bowdoin has run
against Massachusetts Institute of Technology
for several years past, but this will not be the
case this year. The date of the meet is Feb-
ruary 16.
cuse will have the choice of sides. A commit-
tee consisting of Professor Foster, Mitchell,
'07, Hupper, '08, and Snow, '07, will select a
question to be submitted to Syracuse some-
time within 30 days before the date of the
debate.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION PAMPHLET
The Christian Association at its last meeting dis-
tributed copies of its new pamphlet. It has for a
frontispiece a cut of the '75 gateway with the path
leading to the chapel. It then opens with a short
account of the gains already made by the Associa-
tion this year, numbering among them the jump
from a membership of 35 to 165. There then follows
a brief description of the new rooms, a word about
the course of Bible Study to be undertaken, and an
explanation of the system of committees which is the
basis of the Association's organization. Following
this is printed a list of officers and committees and
also the calendar of the meetings from last October
through next March, the book finally ending with a
cut of the chapel itself.
The program of speakers promises to be a good
one. A series of talks on the "Ethical Aspects of
the Professions" will run through the year, there
being four speakers who will represent two sides of
Social Science, Civil Engineering, Medicine. These
monthly meetings will be open to the public, and
held in Hubbard Hall.
Special music has been arranged for each meet-
ing, and speakers have also been engaged for every
week until March 28th, when President Hyde will
close the year with a questionaire.
THE MINSTREL SHOW
After many delays, occasioned by the blunders of
the publishers, the long-sought music has arrived
and the rehearsals are being held every night in Ban-
ister Hall under the personal supervision of Coach
Toothaker. With the show only a few weeks off the
management wish to emphasize again the fact that
they want every man to turn out to each rehearsal.
Whatever success is to be achieved by the chorus

N The Orient is pleased to
•> j .C^ . announce in another col-
Bowdoin Books umn the coming pubUca_
tion of two more Bowdoin books. That the
new books will be of a character that every
Bowdoin graduate and undergraduate will
wish to possess is assured from the fact that
they are to be published by J. C. Minot, '96,
who was instrumental in the publication of
"Tales of Bowdoin" and other Bowdoin books.
The new undertaking is one involving a larger
expense than any previous production, but the
Orient believes that the loyalty of .Bowdoin
men is such that the publisher will lose
nothing by his enterprise.
Winter
Track Work
Attention is called in
another column to the
arrangements that have
been made for gym and outdoor work for
track men.
This winter work is absolutely necessary
this year, because of a continually growing
number of inexperienced men joining the
track squad; and though several have given
unexpected promise, it is only through consist-
ent winter work that they can win the meet
next spring. It is therefore very fortunate
that this year, when the meet is to depend
chiefly on the hard work of the track men, that
we have a coach from the student body who is
here the year round. It is necessary, however,
that the students do their share in the work.
„ ..„ . .. It may well be a source of
Bowdoin in the -, J. ,, -d , .
Maine Leeislature P Bowdoin men
s to note the part played in
the public affairs of the State by the alumni of
our college. Not only is Governor William
T. Cobb a Bowdoin graduate in the famous
Class of 'yj, but the 73d Maine Legislature
now in session at Augusta has just elected
Bowdoin men to preside over both its
branches, Hon. Fred J. Allen, '90, as Presi-
dent of the Senate, and Hon. Don A. H. Pow-
ers, '75, as Speaker of the House. Moreover,
among the members on the floor of the House,
Hon. Geo. G. Weeks, '82, is recognized as the
Republican leader, and Hon. Charles F. John-
son, '79, as the Democratic leader. Other
Bowdoin men in the legislature are Henry H.
Hastings, '90, and Walter B. Clarke, '99, in
the Senate; and Philip D. Stubbs, '95, and
Andy P. Havey, '03, in the House. All four
of these last named were well known athletes
in their undergraduate days and two of them
were 'varsity captains. The secretary of the
Senate is Frank G. Farrington, '94. These,
and the other Bowdoin men at the State
House, make a splendid showing for the col-
lege and demonstrate that now as for the past
century it is furnishing the leaders in the pub-
lic affairs of Maine. In this connection it is
also very gratifying to us that a Bowdoin man
continues at the head of our Maine Supreme
Court, Chief Justice A. P. Wiswell, 73, who
died after seven years at the head of the court,
being succeeded by Lucilius A. Emery, '61,
who has been an honored associate justice for
nearly a quarter of a century. Four of the
last five chief justices have been Bowdoin
men and all have also served on our Board of
Trustees.
RALLY COMMITTEE
J. Drummond, president of the athletic association,
has selected the following committee for the coming

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
_ On Thursday, January 3, the Christian Associa-
tion Room was filled by nearly one hundred members
to hear Professor Files give an informal talk on
"Student Life in Germany." Professor Files said
that in Germany a student rarely attended the same
University more than two consecutive semesters, for
he goes there only to hear the great German lectures
on the special subject in which he is interested. He
usually continues his course for about three years,
then returns to the University he first attended, and
takes his examination for his degree. He also said
it would be a saving of money for an American stu-
dent to take the trip to Germany, and study at the
Universities, rather than to study in America. He
closed with an account of the German duels. Ken-
drie, '10, played a beautiful violin solo as special
music.
Last night Rev. Raymond Calkins, D.D., of Port-
land, gave the first talk in the series on "The Ethi-
cal Aspects of the Professions." He gave the talk
irf Hubbard Hall, and took as his subject "Social Ser-
vice." A longer account will appear in the next
issue of the Orient.

CLASS OF 1856
The following was taken from the Boston
Journal of a short time ago: "Eight men,
the remnant of the Class of 1856, Bowdoin
College, were entertained at Young's Hotel
last night by George C. Yeaton and Judge

duced his son, Robert Luce, a member of the
Lgislature, to the class, and a delightful even-
ing was spent in reminiscences of old times.
Rev. Dr. Parker of Hartford, read a poem
weaving in the names of all his classmates."

Commander Robert E. Peary will be the
guest of honor at the annual dinner, January
16, of the New York Alumni Association of
Delta Kappa Epsilon, an organization with a
membership of over 500.
CLASS OF 1882
Maine has a special interest in the appoint-
ment by the President of Edwin U. Curtis of
Boston as treasurer of the United States sub-
treasury at that city. Though born in Bos-
ton of a long line of Bostonians, he was edu-
cated in Maine, married a Waldoboro girl and
frequently visits this State. He attended
school at the famous old Little Blue School in
Farmington and then entered Bowdoin, where
he graduated in '82. In college he was a
famous athlete and was captain of the crew.
He has since been on the Bowdoin athletic
council and is now on the board of overseers
of the college. He studied law after gradua-
tion from college, but in later years has
devoted most of his time to real estate and his
varied business interests. In 1889 and 1890
he was city clerk of Boston and in 1895 he
was elected mayor on the Republican ticket.
His new position is one of much responsibility
but as he is a millionaire the salary of $5,000
was not his motive in accepting the appoint-
ment.— Kennebec Journal.

Ohio State School for the Blind, and Pauline
G. Gray of Columbus, Ohio, were married

Hundredth Anniversary of the birth of Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, in connection with

INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATING LEAGUE
The first debate in the Bowdoin Interscholastic
Debating League was held at Lewiston last Friday
evening and resulted in a victory for Lewiston over
the Edward Little High of Auburn. The question
debated was "Resolved, That cities in the United
States of 25,000 or more inhabitants should own and
operate their street railways." Lewiston had the
affirmative and Edward Little the negative.
The City Hall was well filled with supporters and
friends of the two teams and the enthusiasm was at
a high pitch throughout the debate. The judges
were Hon. Harold M. Sewall of Bath, Hon. Burt
Fernald of Poland, and Prof. K. C. M. Sills of
Bowdoin. Mayor Newell of Lewiston presided.
The debate was a very even content throughout
and the various issues were carefully worked out on
both sides. The speakers for Lewiston were
Messrs. Keist, Marston and Fisher. The issues
treated by them were as follows : First, That the
present system is objectionable; second, the pro-
posed plan would remedy the objectionable features ;
and, third, municipal ownership has been successful
in Great Britain.
The speakers for Edward Little were Messrs. Phi-
loon, Adams and Barton. They treated their side of
the question as follows : First, that municipal own-
ership would result in poorer service ; second, that
it would be too expensive ; and, third, that it would
lead to political corruption. On the constructive
side, they advocated public control in place of pub-
lic ownership.
The rebuttals were for the most part good, and
it was in this that Lewiston seemed to excel to the
extent that the judges believed it just to award
them the debate.
Professor Sills in announcing the decision of the
judges, reported a concurring opinion in declaring
the excellence of the negative in the matter of pre-
sentation, but because of the great superiority of
the affirmative in the rebuttal, the judges "could do
nothing else than give them the debate."
The debate was satisfactory in every respect and
much credit is due to both Snow, '07, and Hupper,
'08, who coached Lewiston High and Edward Little
High respectively. Lewiston High will now be
required to meet the winner of the Cony High-Gar-
diner High debate, in a debate to be held in Memo-
rial Hall later in the year.
The only unfortunate feature of the debate is that
there appears to be some dissatisfaction among the
Auburn supporters over the decision of the judges.
It is hoped that the matter may be amicably settled.
The Cony High-Gardiner debate, which was to
have been held this evening, has been set ahead one
week.
FIRST JUNIOR ASSEMBLY
The first Junior Assembly of the winter was held
in Memorial Hall last Friday evening, and proved
all that could be desired as an enjoyable dancing
party. The hall was tastily decorated for the occa-
sion, a large "1908" in the rear being a conspicuous
part of the arrangements.
An order of 24 dances was carried out, the music
for which was furnished by the College Orchestra,
with Kendrie, '10, as leader. There were about 30
couples in attendance. The patronesses were Mrs.
William DeWitt Hyde, Mrs. Leslie A. Lee, Mrs.
Roswell C. McCrea, Mrs. Hartley C. Baxter, Mrs.
George T. Files, and Mrs. Hosea Knowlton of West
Newton. Among the young ladies present were
Miss Margaret Stevens, of Portland, Miss Margaret
Toage of Damariscotta, Miss Ethel McFarland of
Keene, N. H. ; Miss Emily Creighton, of Thomas-
ton ; Misses Annie Ross and Floradora Ross of Ken-
nebunk; Misses Helen Eaton, Sue Winchell, Ger-
trude Christopher, Lue Woodward, Dasie Hubbard,
and Annie Parsons of Brunswick ; Miss Mattie Clif-
ford of Cornish ; Misses Elizabeth Bates, Geraldine
Fitzgerald and Geneva Fitzgerald, of Portland ; Miss
Gertrude Stevens of Fort Fairfield ; Misses Mar-
garet Cram and Berta Cram of Mount Vernon ; Miss
Annie Robinson of Bangor; Misses Winifred Bent
and Josephine Powers of Dresden; Miss Marion
Cobb of Rockland; Miss Christine Kennison of
Waterville; Miss Louise Sewall of Bath; Misses
Marion Proctor, Louise Edwards and Gwendelon
Jenkens of Portland.
MASSACHUSETTS CLUB
The third meeting of the Massachusetts Club was
held at the Zeta Psi House last Saturday evening.
After the usual business of the Club had been
transacted, and refreshments had been served, some
twenty-two members listened to a very interesting
talk by Professor Ham on "What a college man
ought to get out of his courses." On January
twenty-sixth instead of the regular meeting of the
club, parties of four will play cards, the two win-
ners in each party to receive prizes, in the form of
match-holders, embossed with a Seal of Massachu-
setts. . ^..j

DRAMATIC CLUB
The Dramatic Club has selected as its play,
"London Assurance," by Dion L. Boucicault. It is
a comedy, whose action takes place in England at
about 1840. There are twelve characters in the play,
only three of whom are ladies, so that it is especially
adapted to being played by a college club as was
very successfully done at Dartmouth two years ago.
James A. Bartlett, '06, who played 6n the club
during the four years of his college course, has been
engaged as coach, and will be able to give much of
his time to the rehearsals, since he is teaching school
at Saco.
On Monday, Jan. 14, the trials for the club were
held in the Christian Association Room. Professor
Chapman, Professor Mitchell and J. A. Bartlett
acted as judges. Their decision as to the parts had
not been made known when the Orient went to
press, but a good club should be picked since about
thirty men competed for the twelve parts. -
It is planned now to take two short trips, and
have one performance in Brunswick. This per-
formance will come the night before Ivy, as last
year, and it is hoped that the college will make it,
as it deserves to be, one of the regular events of
Ivy Week.
MINSTREL SHOW
The work of preparation for the Minstrel Show
is now making good progress and the indications
are that the show will be fully up to the high
standard of past years. The show will be presented
in the Town Hall on Jan. 23. It is also hoped to
have the show given at least once out of town.
Kimball, '07, will be interlocutor. The "Bones"
will be Sheehan, P. H. Browne and R. W. Smith,
and the "Tambos" Upton, Roberts and Kingsley.
There will be vocal solos by Pike, Linnell and Ley-
don and a violin solo by Kendrie. The chorus will
number about forty voices .and the manager would
like a few more volunteers for that, although the
attendance at the rehearsals has been very good.
There are to be a number of specialty acts. B. C.
Morrill will give an exhibition of club swinging and
juggling; the Mikelsky brothers will appear in a
sketch written especially for the occasion ; and Boyce,
'08, will give one of his monologues. Other specialty
acts will be given by Sargent and Cox, and by Don-
nell and Upton. There will be a trio from the Man-
dolin Club and a quartet from the Glee Club. Man-
ager Robinson intends to make, this year's show the
most successful one there has been so far.
GOVERNMENT CLUB
A government club was organized in the history
room last Friday morning. An executive committee
consisting of Professor Johnson, Voorhees, '07, and
Pike, '07, was selected.
CHEMICAL CLUB
The next meeting of the Chemical Club will be
held at 7.30 o'clock on Friday evening in Hubbard
Hall. W. V. Wentworth, Bowdoin, '86, will speak
on "Soda Fibre."
SECOND COLLEGE TEA
The second in the series of college teas was held
in the Alumni Room of Hubbard Hall last Friday
afternoon, and, like its predecessors, proved an
enjoyable occasion. The special guests of the after-
noon were friends of the college residing in Port-
land and vicinity, and there was a large number in
attendance. In addition to these, friends of the col-
lege who were in town to attend the Junior
Assembly in the evening were also in attendance,
making an unusually large number of young ladies.
The patronesses of the afternoon consisted of
Mrs. William A. Houghton, Mrs. Frank E. Wood-
ruff, Mrs. Henry Johnson, and Mrs. George T.
Little. The ushers were from the eight fraternities,
and were as follows : Winchell, '07, Kingsley, '07,
Powers, '08, Huse, '08, Davis, '08, Leighton, '08,
Cushing, '09, and Files, '09.
Refreshments of tea, coffee, punch, fancy crackers
and confectionery were served during the after-
noon. The tea tables were in charge of Mrs. Frank
N. Whittier and Mrs. Charles C. Hutchins, assisted
by the Misses Sue Winchell, Annie Johnson, Emilie
Felt, Sarah Merryman, Gertrude Christopher and
Helen Curtis.
Mrs. William A. Moody poured coffee, and was
assisted in serving by Misses Grace Crawford, Mae
Despeaux, Ida Smith. Mrs. George T. Files pre-
sided at the punch bowl, assisted by Misses Sarah
Baxter, Edna Scott, Marjorie Prince, and Cecil
Houghton.
ART BUILDING NOTES
There is now on exhibition in the Bowdoin Gal-
lery a set of 108 excellent views of Paris, loaned by
the Library Art Club, which will remain on exhibi-
tion until next Monday.
The Art Building has recently received several
coins from people interested in the college. They
are two Japanese coins, one copper, and one nickel,
from Horace Chandler, Esq., of Jamaica Plain,
Mass., a bronze classical coin from Charles Mustard,
Esq., of Brunswick, and a U. S. half dollar dated
1835 from G. Barbalias, Esq., of Lewiston.
The college has also entrusted to the Art Build-
ing a piece of one of the original oak rafters used
in the construction of Faneuil Hall, Boston, in 1742
(which structure was burned in 1763), that recently
was presented to the college by Sergeant E. E.
Snow, of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery.
THE GLEE CLUB
Leaders Winchell and Pike having been busily
engaged during the past week in rehearsing their
respective clubs in preparation for the trips which
will take place shortly after the mid-year examina-
tions. The first concert will be held at Freeport on
Feb. 14 and on Feb. 18 will occur the annual concert
in Bath. A trip has been arranged which begins

GREAT HONOR FOR PEARY
At the recent annual dinner of the National
Geographic Society, Commander Robert E.
Peary was presented a gold medal for having
reached "Farthest North." President Roose-
velt was the guest of honor and made the
presentation. The President in a brief
address paid tribute to Commander Peary and
took occasion to remark that he was proud of
the fact that an American, an officer of the
American Navy, had reached "Farthest
North."
The President spoke as follows:
"I count myself as fortunate in having been
asked to be present this evening at such a
gathering and on behalf of such a society to
pay tribute of honor to an American who
emphatically deserves well of the common-
wealth. Civilized people usually live under
conditions of life so easy that there is a certain
tendency to atrophy of the hardier virtues.
And it is a relief to pay signal honor to a man
who by his achievements makes it evident that
in some of the race at least, there has been no
loss of hardy virtues.
"I said some loss of the hardier virtues.
We will do well to recollect that the very word
virtue in itself orginally signifies courage and
hardihood. When the Roman spoke of virtue
he meant that sum of qualities that we char-
acterize as manliness.
"I emphatically believe in peace and all the
kindred virtues. But I think that they are only
worth having if they come as a consequence
of possessing the combined virtues of courage
and hardihood. So I feel that in an age which
naturally and properly excels, as it should
excel, in the milder and softer qualities, there
is need that we should not forget that in the
last analysis the safe basis of a successful
national character must rest upon the great
fighting virtues, and those great fighting vir-
tues can be shown quite as well in peace as in
war.
"They can be shown in the work of the
philanthropist ; in the work of the scientist and
most emphatically of all in the work of the
explorer, who faces and overcomes perils and
hardships which the average soldier never in
his life knows.
"In war, after all, it is only the man at the
very head who is ever lonely. All the others,
from the subordinate generals down through
the privates are cheered and sustained by the
sense of companionship and by the sense of
divided responsibility.
"You (turning to Commander Peary), the
man whom we join to honor to-day, you who
for months in and months out, year in and year
out, had to face perils and overcome the great-
est risks and difficulties, with resting on your
shoulders the undivided responsibility which
meant life or death to you and your followers
— you had to show in addition that the mod-
ern commander with his great responsibility
does not have to show. You had to show all
the moral qualities in war, together with other
qualities. You did a great deed, a deed that
counted for all mankind, a deed which reflected
credit upon you and upon your country, and
on behalf of those present, speaking also for
the millions of. your countrymen, I take pleas-
ure in handing you this Hubbard medal, and
in welcoming you home from the great feats
which you have performed, Commander Peary.

HOCKEY TO=MORROW
The first game of hockey that has been played at
Bowdoin is scheduled to take place on the Whittier
Field to-morrow afternoon. The college team
will have as its opponent a team from Augusta and
it is hoped that a large number of students will be
on hand to see the game. The college material
promises unusually well and the game will be well
worth seeing.
PROSPECTIVE DUAL MEET
It is understood that one of the matters to be dis-
cussed at the next meeting of the Athletic Council,
which may be held to-morrow, will be that of a dual
meet with Tufts. There seems to be much to be
said in favor of the proposition and it is understood
that Tufts is anxious to hold such a meet. The out-
come will be awaited with interest.
PROF. MITCHELL TO ADDRESS HEBRON CLUB
The Hebron Club met with Ellis, '09, at the Delta
Upsilon House last Saturday evening, for its regu-

It appears to be the annual
Throwing the Shot duty of Orient editors to
call attention to the dan-
gers of throwing the shot in the gymnasium in
a careless manner. For the most part, stu-
dents show proper care when there are others
in the gym., but there are a few who are
exceedingly thoughtless, if nothing worse.
Only the other day some men were engaged
in the careless pastime of throwing the shot
up onto the running track and letting it roll
off wherever it happened to. And this, too,
at a time when there were other men in the
gym. One man at least had a narrow escape
from being struck and his escape was due to
his own quickness rather than any precaution
that had been taken. Doubtless these things
are the result of nothing but carelessness, but
it is the kind that would come close to being
classified as criminal in the judgment of most
people.
The Orient is pleased to
Eligibility Rules state that the faculty has
decided on the retention of
the athletic rules which went into effect last
fall, instead of enacting any new regulations.
This decision on the part of the faculty is one
that commends itself to the entire student
body. While it is doubtless true that the pres-
ent rules have defects it is also true that they
have scarcely had a fair trial, and the Orient
believes they embody, all the necessary limita-
tions without dealing the blow to the athletic
interests of the college that would have been
the case under some of the contemplated
changes.
This action on the part of the faculty is not
only pleasing as being a satisfactory arrange-
ment, but it is also an indication of a careful
consideration of the students' standpoint, by
our faculty. There is, perhaps, nothing in the
conduct of a college that contributes more to
make the institution mean what it should to a
man in both undergraduate and graduate days,
than a harmony of interests between the stu-
dents and the faculty — a thing in which Bow-
doin has always been particularly fortunate.
And in the present instance the faculty has
shown a consideration for which the students
should all feel grateful.
„ . _, . . It is well to call the atten-
Sab-Preshmen and tkm of the students t0 the
the Minstrel Show advisability of inviting
sub-Freshmen to the Minstrel Show. While
the Indoor Meet is the time generally recog-
nized for the entertainment of preparatory
school men, it is certain that the Min-
strel Show is as fully as interesting an enter-
tainment as is the meet. It is not always pos-
sible to get men here at the Meet, and it is
surely no harm to begin interesting men in
the college now. If the show is anywhere
near equal to that of previous years, it will
be an occasion that will be thoroughly enjoyed
by most sub-Freshmen.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On Thursday evening, January 10, the first of the
monthly meetings that are to be open to the public,
was held in Hubbard Hall. The subject for these
meetings is "The Ethical Aspects of the Profes-
sions," and Rev. Raymond Calkins, D.D., of Port-
land, who spoke January 10, took as his special
subject "The Ethics of Social Service." He said
that there are two problems before the world, the
social problem and the personal problem, that is the
problem of the poor masses and of the self-sup-
porting individual. The social problem can be solved
only by disinterested help being given to the masses,
and the personal problem can be solved only by the
individual's giving help to those who need it, for
his problem is to get true happiness. Therefore,
when the self-supporting individual enters into social
service, he is helping to solve the social problem as
well as his own. The college student, Dr. Calkins
said, is like a pond filling up with water, but having
no outlet; so if the student should use some of his
stored up learning in social service, he would be
making an outlet that would give him happiness.
The other three speakers on "The Ethical Aspects
of the Professions" will be Prof. A. E. Burton, C.E.,
Bowdoin, '78, Dean of Masssachusetts Institute of
Technology, on "Civil Engineering," January 31 ;
Dr. D. A. Robinson, A.M., M.D., Bowdoin, '73, on
"Medicine," February 14; and Mr. G. W. Hinckley
of Good Will Farm, on "Social Service," February
28.
Last night Anand Sidoba Hiwale of Hindostan
spoke in the Christian Association room, on "India's
Need of a Christian Type of Manhood," and a solo
was sung by A. O. Pike, '07. An account will
appear in next week's issue.

The school form of self-government has saved
the academy the employment of one extra
teacher during the past year, while it has also
been successful in maintaining the best of dis-
cipline in every room in the school. Teachers
and students both are high in their words of
praise of the system. Principal Ward has,
since the newspapers have had stories concern-
ing the working of the system, received scores
of letters from educators in this and other
states asking for full particulars regarding the
details of the plan. It is understood that other
schools in Maine are to adopt the plan as a

BOWDOIN'S FIRST ENDOWMENT
[The following letter from Edward Stanwood, '61,
relative to Bowdoin's first endowment, will be inter-
esting reading to friends of Bowdoin, and the
Orient is pleased to present it to its readers. The
letter is as follows:]
It is noted in the History of Bowdoin Col-
lege that in June, 1794, the governing boards
of the college, which had just been incorpor-
ated by the Massachusetts General Court,
received a letter from James Bowdoin making
a gift in money and land to the infant institu-
tion. I presume that the correspondence
between Mr. Bowdoin and the authorities of
the college is preserved somewhere in the
archives of Bowdoin, but it must be several
generations since it has been seen and read by
any one. I am glad to be able to send a copy
of it to the Orient. The Massachusetts His-
torical Society is now passing through the
press a second volume of the Bowdoin and
Temple papers, and the editor of the volume,
Mr. Charles Card Smith, has kindly furnished
me with the proof pages of the volume con-
taining these two interesting letters.
Edward Stanwood, 1861.
The letters, in the type, spelling, punctua-
tion and general style of the original docu-
ments, are as follows:
JAMES BOWDOIN TO THE OVERSEERS OF
BOWDOIN COLLEGE.
Boston, June 27th, 1794.
To the Overseers & Corporation of Bowdoin
College.
Gentlemen, — The General Court having
established a public seminary of learning in
the District of Maine, for the purpose of dif-
fusing literature and useful knowledge,
whereby it may be reasonably expected that
the seeds of science, deeply sown in the
natural genius of its inhabitants, will soon be
seen to blossom, to fructify, and to contribute
to the general stock of scientific information in
the United States, you, Gentlemen, being
selected for the honourable purpose of laying
the first foundation of an institution upon the
prosperity of which the future character, dig-
nity, and prosperity of the District of Maine
will materially depend; however important
the commission, arduous the undertaking, or
difficult the task, I have no doubt of your pru-
dence, wisdom, and capacity to fulfill the trust
committed to you ; you'll permit me, however,
to sueeest that the honourable testimonial of
respect paid in the establishment to the name,
the character, the talents, and virtues of my
late father, must attach me in a peculiar
degree to an institution in ye success of wch
I feel myself deeply interested.
Bowdoin College shall receive the feeble aid
of my endeavours to promote its usefulness,
interest, and welfare, and as a first step to the
design, suffer me to say that as soon as you
shall signify your acceptance by the votes of
your respective bodies of the sum of one
thousand dollars in specie and of one thousand
acres of land, situated in the town of Bowdoin,
to be disposed of in such way and manner as
you shall deem best to subserve the designs
of the institution, I stand ready to pay the
said sum to whomsoever you shall direct to
receive it, and to make ye necessary convey-
ance of the land as aforesaid.
Wishing you every success in the important
trust committed to you, I have the honour, to
be, Gentlemen,
Your most obed' & very hble. serv*.
James Bowdoin.
COMMITTEE OF THE OVERSEERS OF BOW-
DOIN COLLEGE TO JAMES BOWDOIN.

Hon'ble James Bowdoin, Esq.
Sir, — The Board of Overseers of Bowdoin
College have the honor and satisfaction to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
27th of June last. On their behalf we now
transmit to you an attested copy of their vote
by which they have accepted your free and
generous donation, and appointed the Hon'ble
David Mitchell, Esqr., to receive it.
As the only testimonial of their gratitude
which is in their power to present we .are
224
BOWDOIN ORIENT
charged to express to you their sincerest
acknowledgements, both for the donation itself
and the intimation of your future design to
promote the usefulness of the institution.
We are happy, Sir, in the reflection that you
have thus become an early and liberal patron
to Bowdoin College. This will animate those
who shall from time to time have the superin-
tendency and management of it to co-operate
with you, as far as their feeble efforts can
extend, in your laudable intention to contrib-
ute to its character and dignity; and we anti-
cipate with a high degree of confidence that
under a government which depends upon the
spread of knowledge for its support, the
learned and wealthy part of the community
will bestow upon it their smiles & patronage,
so that it may soon and lastingly flourish
under a name which has been so justly dear
and valuable to the friends of humanity &
science. We rejoice that with this name the
College has been honoured, and it affords us
additional pleasure to reflect that its patron is
cloathed with the mantle of his father's vir-
tues.
We devoutly wish him every earthly felicity
and an immortality in that happy place where
charity will receive its complete reward.
We have the honor to be, Sir, with pro-
found respect,
Your most hble. servts.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL MEETING
At a meeting of the Athletic Council held
last Friday evening several matters of import-
ance were considered. The matter of a dual
meet with Tufts next spring was taken up
and favorable action taken, and if the matter
receives the approval of the faculty, the meet
will doubtless be held one week before the
Maine meet. It is planned to hold the meet
on the Whittier Field.
The matter of hockey was also taken up
and Dresser, '08, was selected as manager and
empowered to arrange two games with the
University of Maine. This'' was not in the
nature of a permanent approval but rather as
a temporary arrangement.
The advisability of arranging two relay
races between Bowdoin and Bates Freshmen
was also considered. It is possible that two
of these races will take place, one at the Bow-
doin and one at the Bates Indoor Meet.
The baseball schedule as arranged by Man-
ager Robinson was also considered and re-
ferred to a committee, to whose approval it
will be subjected.
'68 PRIZE SPEAKING
The program for the '68 Prize Speaking
which took place last night was as follows :

Dual Meet
with Tufts
Students will be pleased to
learn of the favorable
action of the Athletic
Council relative to the proposed dual meet
with Tufts. If the meet is pulled off one week
before the Maine Meet and two weeks before
the New England Meet, as is proposed,
the advantage to the Bowdoin team is one
which cannot be overestimated. It will be a
tryout for the team and will show what the
new men, who in large part make up our
squad, are really capable.
The past few years has shown that our
teams need all possible training to make them
capable of winning the Maine Meet, to say
nothing of the New England, and this dual
meet will not only be interesting in itself, but
will also be of great value as a preparation for
these later and more important meets.
The proposed meet is not to be objected to
as a new departure which will require more
work on the part of the student body. The
fact that the men who will compete will be
out just as regularly and devote the same
amount of time in preparation for the State
and New England meets, removes all argu-
ment on this score. The only possible objec-
tion can be in the matter of detail, and these,
it is hoped, may be easily adjusted.

"°fBo*DS onto mourn the loss of
Oldest Graduate her oWest graduate; in the
death of Rev. David B. Sewall, who gradu-
ated in 1836, in the same class with Dr. Gar-
celon, whose death occurred a few weeks ago.
Mr. Sewall was 90 years of age. He was a
brother of Prof. John S. Sewall of Bangor
Theological Seminary, who graduated from
Bowdoin in the Class of 1850, and Prof.
Jotham B. Sewall of Boston, who graduated
in the Class of 1848, and who is still living.
All three of these men have spent their long
lives in the Christian ministry.
, , „ . , As a result of last week's
Intercollegiate me£ting of the Athktic
00 ey Council, it seems that we
shall have at least one game of Intercollegiate
hockey on the Whittier Field. As stated else-
where, Dresser, '08, was named as manager
and authority given for the arrangement of
two games with the University of Maine, one
of which will be played at Brunswick and the
other at Orono. The game will be something
new among Bowdoin's athletics and should
prove of great interest to the entire student
body.
•m c a The need of sand on the
A Little Sand, college paths has been very
Please apparent during the early
part of the week and not a few men have
received falls that were more unpleasant than
graceful. It may be that there are some very
good reasons why the sand has not been dis-
tributed along the walks, but that does not
alter the fact that it is a decidedly unpleasant
if not a dangerous condition. About the
chapel steps and bill board the ice during the
first part of the week was so slippery that it
was almost impossible to walk about without
rubbers and even then one was by no means
insured against a bad fall.
The danger from this slippery condition
may not be so great in the case of college stu-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
227
dents as with visitors or others who cross the
campus. It is not too much to say that an
elderly person who undertook to walk along
some sections of the campus the first of the
week would have been in danger of a fall that
might possibly have meant permanent injury,
to say nothing of the unpleasant impression a
visitor would have of our college and campus
under these conditions. If sand cannot be
secured, or if there are other good reasons, it
would seem advisable to put a sign to notify
the public that it is dangerous passing.

Loagteiiow college will be pleased to

ica's great poet, and it is especially appropri-
ate that the college whose son he was should
celebrate the centennial of his birth.
BRADBURY PRIZE SPEAKERS
The trials for the Bradbury prize speakers
was held in the Debating Room at Hubbard
Hall last Tuesday evening, and resutled in
the selection of the following men : Redman,
'07 ; Hupper, '08 ; Erskine, '07 ; Roberts, '07 ;
Snow, '07; Kimball, '07. The alternates
selected were W. B. Drummond, '07, and Lin-
nell, '07.
The question debated was "granting the
willingness of Cuba as expressed by a major-
ity vote at a popular election, the annexation
of Cuba to the United States is for the interest
of the United States." The first three men
named are to speak on the affirmative side of
this question in the Bradbury debate and the
last three on the negative. Drummond will
be alternate on the affirmative and Linnell on
the negative. The judges were Professors
Foster, McCrea and Sills.
The date of the Bradbury debate is set for
Feb. 26.
INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATES
The second Interscholastic Debate will take place
in the City Hall at Augusta to-night, the con-
testants being Cony High of Augusta and Gardi-
ner High. The subject will be "Resolved, That
the peaceful annexation of Cuba would be for the
best interest of the United States." Prof. R. C.
McCrea of Bowdoin, and A. K. Spofford, an
instructor at Bates, will be two of the judges, while
the third had not been named at the time of going
to press.
President Redman of the Debating Council, will
hold a conference with representatives of the two
winning teams relative to the date of the final
debate at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
At the regular weekly meeting of the Christian
Association on January 17, Anand Sidoba Hi wale
of India, spoke on "The Need of a Christian Type
of Manhood in India." Mr. Hiwale is a native of
India who has been studying for two years at the
Bangor Theological Seminary and who will prob-
ably return to India next year. He made his
lecture especially interesting by making up and
putting on a typical Indian turban and by showing
the brass gods which are now worshiped in India.
He also told an interesting bit about Rockefeller's
method of introducing Standard Oil in India.
Rockefeller first offered the oil for sale at five
cents a gallon, and everyone bought it because it
was much cheaper than the laborious sowing, reap-
ing, and treating of a crop of oil plants. Rocke-
feller, however, when he found the oil fields had
been given up, raised the price to nine cents a gal-
lon, just about equalling the cost of native produc-
tion, and now holds India's trade with kerosene at
nine to ten cents a gallon. Mr. Hiwale said in
closing that Christianity and men to spread it were
needed in India, because conversion to Christianity
was the only way to get rid of the caste system, to
do away with child marriage, and to make India
keep pace with the modern world.
Last night Rev. James F. Albion, D.D., of Port-
land, spoke at the regular weekly meeting in the
Association room. An account of his talk will
appear in the next issue. On Thursday, January 31,
Dean Alfred E. Burton, '78, of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, will speak at the second
of the monthly meetings in Memorial Hall, and will
take as his subject "The Ethics of Civil Engineer-
ing."

CLASS OF 1856
The Hartford Courant in its editorial col-
umns pays this splendid tribute to Rev. Edwin
Pond Parker, D.D., of that city, Bowdoin, '56 :
"To those of us who know Dr. Parker, and
that means about all of the 100,000 inhabitants
of modern Hartford, it seems incredible that
he has been settled over the South Church,
'Dr. Parker's Church' as everybody calls it,
for forty-seven years; but that is the fact as
the record shows. He is still a young man in
everything but the almanac phase of life, and
the large place that he occupies grows steadily
larger with the passage of the years. It is
230
BOWDOIN ORIENT
sadly true that during his pastorate he has
seen friend after friend depart and his congre-
gation change almost entirely; but friends
have come as well as gone, and he never had
more than now. His keen interests and ten-
der sympathies keep him in the same close
touch as always with those about him, and to
the great majority of people here now he has
always been a part of Hartford. It would
not be what it is without him, and they are
thankful, indeed, that the years pass him by
so gently that they leave no marks behind.
The city to-day congratulates alike the South
Congregational Church and its beloved pas-
tor."

lows:
"Judge Ingraham is an alumnus of Bow-
doin College, Class of 1895, and of the Har-
vard Law School. He was admitted to the
Cumberland bar in 1897. He has twice trav-
elled extensively abroad. Following in the

served on the city committee a number of
years. In the recent county campaign he was

VERSES READ AT REUNION OF CLASS OF 1856
(The following verses written by Edwin Pond
Parker of the Class of 1856, and read at a reunion
of the survivors of that class held in Boston on
Dec. 14, are some that every Bowdoin man will
wish to read:)
Dear Classmates ! fifty years ago,
One memorable summer day,
All hearts wtih ardent hopes aglow,
From Bowdoin-port we sailed away.
We sought our fortunes, thinking not
How far misfortunes might attend;
But confident that some fair spot
Would be our prosperous journey's end.
Of all the youthful, hopeful crew
Who made the voyage with us then,
Are only left, to-day, a few
Old, worn, and weather-beaten men.
Some fell asleep; some in the sight
Of God were slowly crucified ;
Some disappeared in storm and night ;
And some in battle bravely died.
Humbly we bow to his decree
Who times and bounds our several lives ;
The first to go may happier be
Than he who last of all survives.
Of this or that one who can say —
"He missed the mark, he fought and failed?"
The vanquished ones, like Jacob, may
Have found the blessing and prevailed.
Perchance the Good Samaritan
Found him who fell beside the way;
Come to himself, at last, the man
Came home who went so far astray.
And well for us who wrestle on,
If so we learn, in humbler mood,
That life's great victory is won
In being overcome of good.
Carlton, as modest in his mien
As Strout was meek, or Whitmore mild;
Johnson, not born to blush unseen,
And Loring, guileless as a child !
Ed. Palmer, whom all men revered ;
Good Tenney, destined soon to fall;
Howard, who only Satan feared,
And "Little Rob," who ranked us all !
Miller and True, who reached the goal
Of mortal life too soon for fame, — ■
The one a generous, jovial soul,
The other faithful to his name !
Kind, gentle, genial Williamson,
The friend of all, to all most dear,
Whose mirthfulness and wit were one
Incarnate spirit of good cheer !
Tom Robie, blameless, valiant saint,
Who, though his soul was marked with scars,
Fought the good fight and did not faint,
Whose crown is bright with many stars !
Ed Thompson, son of Mars, in whom
The call to arms found echo true ; —
A soldier from his mother's womb,
Nor braver ever wore the blue !
Saint Ambrose at that urgent call
From his vocation turned aside,
Followed the flag, forsaking all,
And so for Christ and country died.
And Davis offered up his whole
Self-sacrifice, in those dark years ;
On Bowdoin's precious soldier-scroll
No more deserving name appears.
And Smyth, in storm of shot and shell,
Not more perturbed than on parade;
Amid the horrors and the hell
Of rebel prisons, undismayed !
Floyd, Watson, Rice and Robinson;
Gallant Lenoir who wore the gray ! —
All these their work on earth have done,
And, one by one, have passed away.
Dear Denny Balch, in whose fair face
A strange yet winsome beauty shone;
Whose most magnetic charm and grace
Led all hearts captive to his own !
Brown, whose bright star so soon declined ;
The favored foster-child of art;
A poet's chamber in his mind,
And sanctuary in his heart!
We know not where thev are, — those dear
Associates of a former day, — ■
Nor how they fare, nor if they hear
The benedictions that we say.
That they are not, we cannot brook:
Instinctively the heart cries out,
More voiceful than the holiest book,
Against so drear and dread a doubt.
232
BOWDOIN ORIENT
We trust the love that bids us hope,
The hope that bids us lift our eyes
And see, through its clear telescope,
Our friends, as if in Paradise !
Of blame or shame they wear no trace,
Their garments show no earthly stains,
Radiant is each familiar face, —
Only their best to them remains. ,
To them the youthful, we the old,
Our greetings give, libations pour;
In classmates' love that grows not cold
Their memories live forevermore.
As now our vovage nears its close,
Invisible, and yet not far,
They may await — God only knows —
Our passage of the harbor bar.
Classmates ! we mav not meet again ;
Farewells are sorrowful to say;
In more courageous, cheerful strain
We'll say "Good Bye," and go our way.
Good Bye ! Yes, God be with us all,
His goodness all our steps attend,
Whate'er betide, whate'er befall,
May God be with us to the end.
At eventide God gives us light,
And when the hour for rest shall come,
Grant us safe lodging for the night
And with the morning bring us home.
THE MINSTREL SHOW
The musical extravaganza, "The Bowdoin
Tars," given in the Town Hall on Wednes-
day evening of last week, proved to be one of
the best minstrel shows ever given by the col-
lege. It was a decided departure from the
usual minstrel show, and made a hit with the
large audience. The jokes were bright and
witty, and above all, were entirely free from
any improper personalities. The singing was
above the average, and the solos were espe-
cially good. The work of the end men showed
the careful coaching given them by Robert A.
Toothaker, under whose direction the show
was given.
The stage was set to represent a scene on
the ship "Bowdoin," and the fifty members of
the chorus were dressed as tars. Kimball,
'07, as interlocutor, was in command. The
overture was followed by the end song, "I'se
Got Something on Mah Mind," Kingsley, '07.
The other numbers on the program for the
first part were the end songs, "I'm Going
Right Back to Chicago," by R. W. Smith, '10;
"He's a Cousin of Mine," by Sheehan, '09;
and the "Whistling Tars" by Cox, '08, and
Upton, '07. The solos included "My First
True Love," by Leydon, '07, and "In a Jew-
elled Grotto," by Linnell, '08. "Jenks' Com-
pound," by a quartet composed of Pike, '07,
Crowley, '08^ Leydon, '07, and Linnell, '07,
was one of the features of the evening.
Sprague, Med., gave a clog dance, which was
encored twice. The closing number was
"Cheer Up Mary," by Linnell, '07, and the
entire company.
The Olio included only five numbers, but
made up in quality what it lacked in length.
Kendrie rendered a violin solo which was
extremely well received. Boyce, '08, was
the first number. He appeared in an orig-
inal monologue, entitled "A Tramp's Solil-
oquy." The work of Morrill, '10, with the
club swinging was another feature worthy
of especial mention, using six clubs in all and
handling them with ease. The Mikelsky
Brothers appeared in an original Dutch Com-
edy which contained many jokes and witty
sayings. The entertainment closed with
"Bowdoin Beata," rendered by the Mandolin
Club and the entire company. The show was
presented for the benefit of baseball, and a
generous sum was realized.
A dance followed the entertainment.
INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE
The second Interscholastic Debate, between
Gardiner High and Cony High of Augusta,
which was held last Friday evening in
Augusta, was won by the Gardiner team after
a closely contested and highly satisfactory
debate. The question and judges were stated
in last week's Orient.
FINAL INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE
The final debate in the interscholastic series,
between Gardiner High and Lewiston High,
will take place in Memorial Hall on April 19.
Gardiner is to submit a question to Lewiston
before Feb. 9, together with a list of names
from which Lewiston is to select three judges.
This was decided at a conference of represen-
tatives of the two schools with a representative
of the council last Saturday. It has also been
decided that Roberts, '07, will coach Gardiner
and Linnell, '07, Lewiston High.

POSSIBLE DEBATE WITH CORNELL
A letter has been recently received by the
Bowdoin Debating Council from Cornell mak-
ing inquiries as to the possibility of arranging
an intercollegiate debate with Bowdoin.
The matter was considered at a recent meet-
ing of the Council and Manager Pike has for-
warded a letter to Cornell making further in-
quiries. If a debate can be arranged to take
place in Brunswick, the Council may take
favorable action in the matter.
'68 PRIZE
The '68 prize speaking contest, which was
held last Thursday evening, resulted in the
^awarding of the prize to C. W. Snow, '07.
The judges were Dr. Alfred Mitchell, '59, of
Brunswick, Albert W. Tolman, '88, of Port-
land, and Rev. Robert A. Morse, '98, of Yar-
mouth. Prof. Chapman presided.
IN MEMORY OF JUDGE OOODENOW
The following is a copy of a minute passed at the
meeting of the New York Alumni, held Jan. 25,
1907:
At this reunion of the Bowdoin Alumni Associa-
tion of New York, we have sad occasion to note the
death of John H. Goodenow which occurred at
Atlantic City, New Jersey, July 28, 1906.
Mr. Goodenow was born at Alfred, Maine, in
1833. He belonged to a family conspicuous in the
law, his father being Judge Goodenow, and his
grandfather Judge Holmes of the Maine Supreme
Court. He graduated at Bowdoin in 1852.
After studying law at Portland and practicing a
few years, he entered the Legislature as represen-
tative of his native town in 1858. In 1861 and 1862
he was a member of the State Senate for York
County and was chosen President of the Senate, a
political honor rarely attained by so young a man.
In 1864 Mr. Goodenow was appointed by President
Lincoln, Consul General at Constantinople, remain-
ing there till about 1875. He was there during the
terms as ministers of George H. Boxer, Mr. Mac-
Veagle and other statesmen of distinction, and was
himself, at intervals in charge of the American
Legation. He was an immediate participant in
many important occurrence of Levantine politics.
For many years Mr. Goodenow had retired from
active professional life. Few men had a wider
personal acquaintance with men influential in public
affairs. He had a retentive memory and he
delighted in anecdotes about public men, especially
about those whom he had met in early life. It is
to be hoped that he may have left memoirs which
can be published.
Mr. Goodenow was for many years preceding his
death a member of the Board of Overseers. He
rarely missed a meeting when in this country. By
his last will he left to the college the generous leg-
acy of $25,000.
We deplore his death and will cherish his memory.

The Orient requests class
Alumni Items secretaries to send it all
the alumni news possible.
During the past two months the editor has
received a number of letters from alumni con-
taining many suggestions as to the improve-
ment of the alumni department. Some of
them have been helpful, and the Orient hopes
to be able to put into practice some of the
ideas advanced. It is interesting to note,
however, that out of a total of about 15 let-
ters— received from men whose kindly and
unselfish interest is good evidence of their
being among Bowdoin's alumni — that out of
all this number with a single exception not an
alumni item was sent in. As we have already
taken occasion to say, it is the items of interest
to the members of the classes on which we
need help. We are very grateful for advice,
and as alreadw said, much of it has been
helpful, but we shall be still more grateful for
items. The chief difficulty of the systematic
conduct of a college weekly lies in the annual
change of administration. One man or group
of men can make one scheme a success, but
the next board is likely to have radically dif-
ferent ideas, and, as a result, the whole work
is upset. It seems to us that the class secre-
taries, more than any one else, can improve
the situation. Send us advice, but above all,
send us some of those little personal items.
Considerable criticism is
As to Freshmen heard about college rela-
tive to the attitude taken
by a few Freshmen relative to some of the
college activities. While a criticsm of these
matters is hardly worth the attention of the
college weekly, the Orient cannot refrain
from saying a word in the matter. To be in
any degree responsible for the success of any
undertaking — be it a relay team or any other
organization — is a trust which a Freshman
should be proud to have and for which he
should be more than pleased to do his best.
This does not seem to be the case with one or
two men. If this attitude continues there
would seem to be a strong temptation on the
part of upperclassmen to resort to some old-
fashioned methods, which would perhaps do
more good than harm.

Advertisements
The students can help the
business manager of the
Orient in no small degree
if they will mention the paper when they make
purchases of our advertisers. No man cares
to advertise for anything but business pur-
poses and he likes to know that he is getting
results. There is no doubt that the Orient
brings its results, but advertisers have no pos-
itive knowledge unless they are told. A cer-
tain Brunswick business man has said that he
did not receive a call for some goods adver-
tised in the Orient and therefore concluded
that it was not helping him much. On inquiry
the Orient found that a very large amount
of these very goods are purchased of this very
man. There is every reason to believe that
the Orient was largely instrumental in bring-
ing the goods to the attention of students, but
the fact that the students had not mentioned
the paper in connection with their purchases
hurt our advertising and the paper. Mention

possible paper. It is a real way to show col-
lege loyalty.
The students are to be
Art Building Talks congratulated on the series
of talks in the Art Build-
ing which are to be given by Professor Henry
Johnson, soon after the opening of the second
semester. These informal gatherings offer a
splendid opportunity for men to learn some-
thing about Bowdoin's treasures and it is to be
hoped that a large number will improve the
opportunity offered. The Art Building is
always the center of attraction for visitors to
the college and the pleasure of a visit to it lies
almost entirely in what one may learn of the
facts connected with its contests. Not only
can these talks be made a source of pleasure,
but they can also be made of no small value
as a part of a college education.
FIRST MUSICAL CONCERT
The Glee and Mandolin Clubs gave their
first entertainment at Harpswell, Jan. 24,
under the auspices of the Dirigo Grange. The
program was wholly informal, three selections
being rendered by each club. The opening and
closing numbers were "Bowdoin Beata" and
"Phi Chi" which were rendered by both clubs
with the usual Bowdoin spirit. Both leaders
were highly pleased with the results of the
entertainment.

CLASS OF 1850
Among the United States Senators re-
elected this week has been William P. Frye of
Maine — one of the sort who would have had
no rival even had the people been directly
choosing his successor. Mr. Frye has now
served in the Senate longer than any other of
its members save three, Mr. Allison of Iowa,
Mr. Morgan of Alabama and Mr. Hale, also
of Maine. It was in i88i,,when James G.
Blaine entered the Garfield cabinet, that Mr.
Frye took his seat; and he had been in the
House of Representatives for 10 years before
that. The younger generation scarcely real-
izes what a forceful party orator and floor
debator Mr. Frye was in the earlier period of
his Washington career. No one was in
greater demand on the Republican stump 25
and 20 years ago. Mr. Frye was brilliant,
with a keen-edged irony and a kind of torren-
tial eloquence when deep feeling stirred him.
He disappeared from the list of frequent and
ready speakers when he began his long ser-
vice as president pro tern, of the Senate, an
office in which he has made an unsurpassed
reputation as a parliamentarian and presiding
director of business, but which seemed to
entomb the old, militant, dashing Frye of
debate. Since his retirement from the chair,

Professor Charles Davis Jameson, who has
recently been appointed to an important posi-
tion under the Chinese government, is a son
of the late General Charles D. Jameson, of
Maine, who was a prominent officer in the
Civil War. Professor Jameson was born in
1855 in Bangor, where his mother now
resides, and was educated in Bangor schools
and at Bowdoin College. He was graduated
in 1876 and soon went into active engineering,
being for three years assistant superintend-
ent of the Memphis and Charleston railroad.
He has been in China many years and by
reason of his acquaintance with the language
and customs and his high standing with the
government was able to save the lives of many
missionary workers at the time of the Boxers
uprising.

WASHINGTON ALUMNI BANQUET
The annual dinner of the Washington
Alumni Association was held at the Raleigh
Hotel on Thursday evening of last week. The
meeting proved itself a delightful occasion,
and, as in the past, was a gathering of notable
men such as few colleges can boast. The
following excellent account of the gathering,
taken from the Washington Star, is sent the
Orient by an alumnus, and will prove inter-
esting reading to both graduates and under-
graduates :
"The happy days of long ago spent at old
Bowdoin, were recalled by loyal sons of that
famous college at their annual dinner at the
Raleigh Hotel last evening. A Bowdoin
alumni dinner was never more largely attended
by the members of the association and other
sons of Maine residing in this city.
"The principal feature of the addresses of
the evening was a review of the work and plan
of the college by its president, Dr. Wm. De-
Witt Hyde, who was a guest of honor of the
Washington alumni. Dr. Hyde gave a clear-
cut review of the work of the college to-day,
and a masterly statement of the ideal charac-
teristics of a college. In the speeches that fol-
lowed those who had been students at Bow-
doin many years ago told of the conditions
that existed then and compared them with the
latter-day methods, much to the credit of the
administration of the college to-day.
"The toastmaster was Dr. Woodbury Pulsi-
fer, whose many bristit sallies and clear-cut
stories interjected in the proceedings were an
interesting part of the entertainment. Dr.
Pulsifer was presented as toast-master by Rep-
resentative Allen. The entertainment was
interrupted only long enough to re-elect the
officers of the association for another term.
Dr. Pulsifer was covered with embarrassment
by being forced to renominate himself for the
high office he fills, and did not long hesitate in
calling for a confirmatory vote before declar-
ing himself and others duly elected. But the
legality of the proceeding was not questioned,
and he proceeded to call upon Dr. Hyde. The
reception Dr. Hyde received was a clear indi-
cation of the fact that the Washington alumni
of Bowdoin are in full accord with the general
admiration and regard felt for Dr. Hyde by
all in anyway acquainted with his work at
Bowdoin. Dr. Hyde in the course of his
remarks declared that to the alumni of this city
Bowdoin owes much for the helpfulness that
has been extended the college both in financial
and in other ways. They had, he said, proved
themselves to be generous benefactors.
"The bounty of Col. Wing, the generous
gifts of Mr. Crosby S. Noyes, of Senator
Frye and of Representative Alexander and
others have been of great help to the college,"
he said. "The contributions intended for the
college by gentlemen who are or have been
connected with this body are greater than the
public is aware."
"Dr. Hyde recounted that the morning after
the last dinner of the alumni, Col. Wing had
presented $50,000 for a professorship of math-
ematics. This year from the Garcelon estate
$80,000 had been received, and $30,000 more
will soon come from the same source, closing
up the estate.
"Dr. Hyde then recounted the characteristics
of the ideal college, and referred to the man-
ner in which modern college life has been
growing in attractiveness and in usefulness to
the student. The successful college, he said,
is one in which only trained men enter and in
which only the studious stay. He told of the
constant attention that is paid to the work of
the students to see that they maintain a proper
standard of excellence in their studies and of
the methods adopted to call them to account in
case they fall below the requirements.
"Men are ranged up once in every twenty-
four hours," he said, "and if they begin to fall
behind in their studies that fact is promptly
known, and means for correcting the failure
to keep up are taken at once."
"It was added that Bowdoin gives its stu-
dents absolute liberty and then holds them
responsible for their conduct. There is no
espionage whatver exercised over the student,
but if he goes wrong he is called to account.
They recognize the difference between laying
down just what the students should do and
holding him responsible for results.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
"Dr. Hyde said he believed that a college
should provide a home life, and that is what
the fraternities do for the body of students.
The fraternities tend to build up a sentiment
of exclusion which was the result of men liv-
ing together and eating at the same table, but
he said that such objection was being overcome
by efforts that were made to bring members
of the various fraternities together in various
ways. The fraternity is becoming to be a tre-
mendous moral influence for good, it was
declared.
" 'You can get a man to do for the sake of
his social group with which he is identified
what he will never do for himself,' it was
asserted. That, the speaker remarked, was a
motive that helped the college much in main-
taining a high standard of excellence. Seniors,
in order to have their fraternity given a good
record, look after the Juniors, and if they find
they are not maintaining a proper standard
endeavor to urge them to better efforts.
"Chief Justice Fuller of the United States
Supreme Court was only excused from speak-
ing by the unwritten law as announced by Dr.
Pulsifer of the Alumni Association, although
they were always glad to hear from him.
"Mr. John B. Cotton told some stories of
lively interest illustrating the life of the col-
lege in his day and recalled characteristics of
President Leonard Wood's which had greatly
impressed him.
"Representative Alexander of New York
amused the gathering greatly by a recital of
humorous incidents connected with the history
of Bowdoin. The vigorous days that charac-
terized the college fifty years ago, he said, ren-
dered a gymnasium unnecessary.
"Gen. Ellis Spear had a vivid recollection
of Bowdoin fifty years ago and he said that
he felt the greatest affection for the venerable
men who had taught the student body in those
days.
" 'But I say now,' said Gen. Spear, 'they
were far aloof from us.'
"The modern method of bringing the faculty
into sympathetic relations with the students
and with their games as well as their studies
he believed was in the right direction. He
had seen Dr. Hyde, president of the college,
pitch quoits with a student. He could not
imagine President Leonard Wood pitching
quoits or anything else with the boys. He
observed young men coming from Bowdoin
in recent years with moral purposes in life.
He had known men without these moral pur-
poses who had wrecked their lives.
"Dr. A. K. P. Harvey, who had attended the
college when a boy, expressed regret that cir-
cumstances had prevented his continuance
until graduation and contributed a fund of
good stories for the entertainment of the
members of the alumni association and its
guests.
"Representative Stevens of Minnesota re-
gretted that conditions of college life prevent
the boys from teaching as they did of old,
because in no other way that he knew of were
so many lessons of human character learned.
He told of the early hours of rising at Bow-
doin, of the athletic sports, of the methods of
training and of students' trials and recrea-
tions many years ago. Mr. Stevens expressed
gratification that the boys of tc-day are being
impressed with the idea of responsibility.
" 'Our people,' said Mr. Stevens, 'have
appealed to the national government for many
things they should do for themselves, and for
things that their states or their localities
should do. I am afraid that the institutions
of learning generally are not teaching boys
their responsibilities as citizens.'
"He said the scope of the government over
national affairs has been constantly growing.
It is well if this growth is not to have ill
effects that citizens should be taught their
responsibility as citizens. He was glad to
know that Bowdoin College was doing that.
"Mr. George M. Whittaker of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture was called upon, and said
that he was enjoying his first opportunity to
meet the Bowdoin Alumni in this city. He
told of the fraternal efforts made by the
alumni in Boston to cultivate good fellowship.
He was glad to note that to-day students at
Bowdoin are placed more upon their honor
and responsibility than ever before in maintain-
ing the school of a high standard.
"Rev. Frank Sewall spoke of the work of
some of the larger colleges in their post-grad-
uate courses, looking to invention and dis-
covery, and said that while great claims were
made for them he was disappointed, in view-
ing the whole field, to find so little of import-
ance result. He described at considerable
length the work and success of the Jacob
Tome Institute of Maryland. He said he was
glad to know that there were several Bowdoin
men on the faculty of that institution.
"Before the close Col. Alexander said the
BOWDOIN ORIENT

executive committee of the association would
be pleased to hear of suggestions by its mem-
bers for varying the form of entertainment
provided at the annual banquet. It had been
suggested that they might have a dinner, with
ladies present, and if members desired that to
be done he would be glad to hear from them.
"Those present were :
"Representative Amos L. Allen, '60; Repre-
sentative D. S. Alexander, '70; John W. But-
terfield, '51; Edward B. Chamberlain, '93;
Charles Chesley, '52; Prof.John W. Checker-

THE JANUARY QUILL
Peculiar interest attaches to Prof. Hough-
ton's contribution to the Quill of a paper
written immediately after his return from
Japan, and while the life of the changing
Orient was of absorbing interest to himself.
It may be said that the gift of prophecy
was his, since from the mere beginning of
revolt, he saw in a vision the wonderfully
advanced Orient of to-day.
Prof. Houghton explains lucidly the state
of things then existent in the student body,
the over-emphasis upon mere scholarship as
opposed to activities to which the Japanese
are now for the most part wonted. The hard-
ships of self-denial amounting almost to star-
vation in special cases, have been known to
some extent in the sphere of learning at all
times and everywhere. Bowdoin has gradu-
ated men who "toiled upward through the
night," as Longfellow says, putting spirit
before the flesh in their zeal and losing life
in their effort to find it.
From the spells of superstition and custom
thrown about the Oriental, the English-speak-
ing races are happily free to a large extent.
Nor will the mystic East ever explain herself
to the practical West, she cannot. Yet this
is certain, the students in our colleges know
little of such hardships as Professor Hough-
ton recognized among the Japanese scholars
of his day in Tokio. It would be very inter-
esting to learn exactly the progress made in
all the particulars suggested in this paper.
Does "the worthless mystery called Chinese
learning" still occupy much the expanding
minds of the present generation? Does the
patriotism which achieved such gigantic
results in the war still include slavish worship
of ancestry? In the very brief time allowed
the writer of this slight comment, there
remains only to be noted that Time and War
have solved many problems while substituting
others. Japan is not only the admiration, but
is fast becoming the terror of the world.
The January Quill contains three poems.
"My Symphony," strikes a cheerful note of
one who would please and be pleased as he
"rows or drifts" toward "the ocean of truth"
and ends with the wish that "Duty be merged
in a dream." Does this imply that the prac-
tice which makes perfect will become as fasci-
nating as a day dream or, on the contrary, the
duty be comfortably lost sight of?
"The Isle of the Blest" by Mr. James N.
Emery, 1905, is smooth and musical, but one
hopes that a somewhat fresher theme may be
selected for his next contribution.
Bowdoin N. Gregson, 1908, furnishes a
thoughtful sonnet on "Evening."
"Ye Postman" in his brief review of college
magazines of the month, calls attention to the
excellency of the verse, especially in the Har-
vard Monthly, the Yale Courant and Smith
College Monthly.
Gray Goose Tracks follow or mark an old
road, for the belief that college faculties are
quite ignorant of student life as it passes
before them is, at some period, shared by
every class. A few years out of college con-
vince-the thoughtful man that such was not,
in fact, cannot be, the case, "appearances to
the contrary, notwithstanding."
"For the honor of France," by M. C. Don-
nell, 1908, deals imaginatively with an historic
incident.

As the winter is now well advanced and the

call the attention of all to the necessity of pay-

Junior
Assemblies
The second Junior assem-
bly is scheduled to take
place on Friday evening
of next week and it may not be out of place to
call attention to the steady falling off in
attendance at these functions. Bowdoin has
very few college dances and it was a surpris-
ing fact that our assemblies are not more lib-
erally patronized. If the circumstance was
indicative of a desire on the part of the stu-
dents of not indulging in the pleasures of the
dance hall or from a desire to keep their
expenses small, the fact would perhaps be
more praiseworthy than otherwise. It is to
be suspected, however, that such is not the
case. Few weeks of the winter go by without
a number of students enjoying dancing at
fraternity houses, at Bath or elsewhere; but
when the college assemblies are held there are
seldom enough present to pay expenses. That
this is so should be a source of regret not
only to the Junior Class, but to the college as
a whole. These two dances are among the
more important college functions, and if they
are to be maintained, they should be more lib-
erally patronized. We have but few of these
functions; let the students make them what
they should be — social and financial successes.
Gen. Starbird's
Classmates
The death of Gen. Isaac
W. Starbird, an account
of whose life appears in
the obituary column, not only removes one of
Bowdoin's sons who made a name for himself
in the great Civil War, but also a member of
a Bowdoin class whose members took leading
parts in that great struggle. One of Gen.
Starbird's classmates was Charles P. Mattocks,
who like himself became a brigadier-general
before the close of the war. Others who won
commissions were Melville A. Cochran, Wil-
liam E. Donnell, George W. Edwards, Almon
Goodwin, Thomas H. Green, Frederick N.
Huston, Augustus N. Linscott, George E.
Moulton, Joseph Noble, Howard L. Prince,
Almon L. Varney and Marcus Wight, all of
whom won rank as captains, majors, or col-
onels before the close of the war and several
of whom gave their lives in the conflict.
SOWDOIN OkltNT

The Lewiston Journal paid the following
tribute to the memory of General Starbird :
"A brave man and a noble character has
gone out from among us. He died in the full-
ness of his fame, and has left a name that will
be treasured in the annals of our State. Other
wars may come and other heroes may arise,
but none will burst into a greater sunshine of
glory than the man whom Maine mourns as
one of her noblest sons. His laurels were
won by his own inherent greatness and they
will never fade."
The Orient devotes con-
Washington Alumni siderable space of this
issue to the account of the
annual meeting of the Washington Alumni
Association. For many years Bowdoin's
alumni at the national capital have been among
the leading men of the nation and the enthu-
siasm and interest in their Alma Mater is
an inspiring thing for any college man
to read. For this reason the Orient believes
the space devoted to this gathering will be
regretted by none of its readers.

decade, pleads for greater interest among the
undergraduates who are urged to give contri-
butions of the pen and the purse, both very
necessary to the continued life of the maga-
zine. The practice of writing, both prose
and verse, is important to every student who
would be an exact scholar and the charm
works as one grows more and more expert in
the use of his mother tongue.

y BEQUESTS RECEIVED
The college has received the balance of
the gift of $5,000 from Mrs. Mayhew, of
South Orange, New Jersey, in memory of her
niece, the wife of Samuel V. Cole, D.D., of
the Class of 1874, a member of the board of
trustees. This is intended to establish a
lectureship at the college.
The college has also just received $81,341.-
24, on account of the gift of the widow of Dr.
Seward Garcelon, late of Oakland, California,
establishing a fund in memory of her husband
and her brother, Dr. Samuel Merritt, of the
same city, each a graduate of the Maine Med-
ical School, bringing the total fund to $352,-
123.66. The income of this goes one-half to
the Maine Medical School, and the other half
to the general uses of the college, subject to
certain directions in reference to assistance to
worthy students of limited means.

Prof. G. T. Files spoke last Wednesday evening
before the Duetscher Verein of the University of
Maine.
HOCKEY TOMORROW
The hockey leaves the ice this afternoon to play
to-morrow with the St. Paul's School hockey team
at Concord, New Hampshire. This game is a hard
one to start the season with, because the St. Paul's
team is always strong, being this year on Harvard's
schedule, and having just returned from a success-
ful trip in New York state. Our team, however,
leaves with the best wishes of the college, and no
doubt next Saturday afternoon when they play U.
of M. on Whittier Field, much interest will be
shown in their work.
The probable line-up of the team is as follows :
Forwards, Abbott, '10, Hamburger, '10, Dresser,
'08, and Lawrence, '07, or Hughes, '09; cover point,
Draper, '10; point, Wight, '08; goal, Smith, '10.
ART BUILDING NOTES
George Warren Hammond, Esq., of Yarmouth-
ville, has recently made a very valuable gift to the
college of his collection of cut stones and gems.
His previous gift of a large series of minerals is
exhibited in the Science Building, having been
arranged in accordance with a system of Professor
Robinson's. The cut stones and gems, however,
will be kept with the Hammond Collection in the
Art Building. But owing to the difficulty in mount-
ing some of these, it will be a considerable time
before they can be put on exhibition.
RELAY TEAM TRIALS
The trials for the relay team, that will race
Tufts at the B. A. A. meet, will probably be held
to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock. The course
will be a straight-away over 300 of the car track
on Harpswell Street, the runners going from the
Kappa Sigma House towards the Gymnasium.
Quite a number of men are out for the team, and
the places on the team are at present very unsettled.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On January 24 it was necessary to postpone the
Christian Association meeting because Rev. James
F. Albion, D.D., who was to speak unexpectedly tel-
ephoned from Boston that he could not come.
On January 31, Dean A. E. Burton, C. E. '78, of
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, spoke at
the second of the series of meetings on the "Ethical
Aspects of the Professions." Dean Burton took as
hip subject "The Ethics of Civil Engineering." He
said that civil engineers had no regular ethical
code, but are simply "square and honest." They
have, however, certain ethical points peculiar to
the profession. They can never change their results
so as to make them "come out right" for their mis-
takes unlike those of doctors, are all above ground
and open to investigation at every point. They are
willing to acknowledge quickly any mistakes they
make. They do not feel bound to do a piece of
work which they think is wrongly planned, but
had rather give up a job than be responsible, as
they otherwise would be, for a thing in which they
do not honestly believe. They regard all new meth-
ods and inventions along their line to be common
property, made simply for the general advancement
of the profession. Finally they all have a high
lespect for honesty, and for the great laws of
the universe, but only rarely do they have that kind
of religious feeling that expresses itself in regular
church attendance.
IBIS LECTURE
Frederick Moore, war correspondent of the Lon-
don Times, during the Russo-Japan war will give a
lecture in Memorial Hall on the evening of Feb. 13,
his subject being "The Russo-Japanese War." The
lecture will be public and it is hoped a large num-
ber will attend.
ART BUILDING LECTURES
Professor Henry Johnson, curator of the Walker
Art Building, will begin a series of four lectures
in the Art Building next Tuesday afternoon at 2.30
p.m. These informal gatherings ofifer a rare oppor-
tunity to learn of the treasures in Bowdoin's col-
lection and every man in college should plan to be
present if it is possible for him to do so.

BOWbOiN ORIENT
bench here as the successful competitor for
the nomination over a very popular local can-
didate and it was natural that he should be
received by a constituency that was inclined
to be critical However, no judge in this cir-
cuit has ever given better satisfaction to all
interests, and those who entertained the
strongest prejudices are to-day the best
friends the Judge has in the county. He may
safely figure Brookings in the Marquis col-
umn from now on."
CLASS OF 1897
James E. Rhodes, 2d, '97, has moved to

holding church functions to pay his salary
and believes that he can continue to perform
his parish duties in a satisfactory manner.

CLASS OF 1862
Gen. Isaac W. Starbird died at his home
in Boston on Saturday of last week. Gen.
Starbird was born in Litchfield, Me., in 1839,
graduated from Bowdoin in the Class of 1862,
being a member of the Alpha Delta Phi frater-
nity. After graduation Gen. Starbird entered
the service as a captain in the 19th Maine
Volunteers, received his baptism of fire at
Fredericksburg, became a major soon after and
became colonel of his regiment in time to lead
it in the desperate fighting about Petersburg,
where he won the rank of brigadier-general.
He led that famous charge of the 19th Maine
before Petersburg June 18, 1864, when of
more than 900 dauntless Maine boys who went
forward against appalling odds at the word of
command less than 300 returned. It was a
repetition of the famous charge at Balaklava,
enacted under circumstances hardly less
tragic. Only a few months ago Gen. Star-
bird wrote a story on that terrible charge for
publication, and it is one of the most thrilling
and dramatic recitals of bravery and tragedy
to be found in all the mass of literature result-
ing from the Civil War. After the war Gen.
Starbird studied medicine and practiced his
profession in Boston until 1895, when he
became head surgeon of the National Home
at Chelsea, Mass., a position which he
retained until forced to give it up by failing
health a year or two ago.
The Boston papers pay the highest tributes
to his work in his profession and to his stand-
ing as a citizen of Massachusetts for the past
40 years. By the soldiers who served with
him and under him Gen. Starbird was espec-
ially loved, and he was always active in their
organizations and in work for their welfare.

PORTLAND ALUMNI DINNER
The thirty-seventh annual dinner of the
Bowdoin Alumni of Portland was held at the
rooms of the Cumberland Club of Portland on
last Saturday evening and was attended by 69
alumni of the college. The college was rep-
resented by President Hyde, Prof. Robinson,
Prof. Woodruff and Prof. Sills, and the occa-
sion proved one of the most delightful of
recent years.
After dinner, which was served at 7.30, the
following toasts were responded to, Robert
C. Foster, '01, acting as toast-master:
"Bowdoin, Our Chiefest Toast, May Bowdoin
Never Die," President William DeWitt Hyde.
"The Medical Fraternity," Francis J. Welch,
M.D. '03.
"Reform Movement in Politics," Judge William
M. Ingraham, '96.
"What the State of Maine Owes to Her Colleges,"
George M. Seiders, '72.
"Athletics of Years Ago," George F. Stetson, '98.
The chief feature of the evening was the
oration delivered by Gen. Charles P. Mattocks
of the Class of 1862, whose subject was "Bow-
doin As I Knew Her." He said in part :
"To those who enjoyed the classic shades of
Bowdoin, prior to and during the early sixties,
my words may be of some little interest as
recalling incidents which, perhaps, were long
since forgotten. Many of those who were
with me in college have now passed over to
the great beyond, and it is with mingled joy
and sadness that I refer to this interesting
and, for some purposes, instructive period of
my existence I entered the college in 1858
and graduated in 1862. None of the profes-
sors of my day are now living, except General
Chamberlain. The two tutors under whose
instruction I studied, and whose lives I helped
to make miserable, Tucker and Snow, are still,
I trust, both living.
"Our Freshman year was much like the
Freshman years of other generations before
and since. An occasional ducking to prevent
too much swell and swagger upon the part of
the novice, and the everlasting "smoke-out"
were among the methods of discipline
employed at that day.
"In our Freshman year we covered the
blackboards with chalk in working out our
problems as given to us by good old Professor
Smythe, while the professor himself covered
his clothing from his chin down, with chalk
in his excitement as he watched the progress
of the recitation. Tutors Tucker and Snow
heard us struggle along in Latin and Greek,
respectively. We studied hard, behaved well
under the guidance of the ever-watchful Soph-
omores, and finally entered upon that delight-
ful portion of college existence known as the
Sophomore year. We then vented out upon
the incoming Freshmen the same pleasantries,
insults and injuries which had been bestowed
upon us by our predecessors.
"The pranks which we perpetrated upon
each other were at times almost unendurable;
but I am happy to say that no permanent
injury was ever inflicted upon any member of
our class or upon others, by us.
"When the Senior year came we, like St.
Paul, 'put away childish things' and devoted
ourselves to the reasoning of Butler's analogy
and Palay's theology. President Woods heard
our recition in Butler, which consisted
usually in each student reciting half a page or
so of that delightful author. We had for a
lesson eight or ten pages and would begin
according to the alphabet, the students being
seated alphabetically. Each student would
recite the page that would naturally come to
him. Once in a while Prex would call up
a student farther from the head of the class,
and then there would be a commotion of the
worst kind. Of course we had all read the
entire lesson but we knew very little about
any of it except the part which we thought
would fall to us.
"One of the professors, who afterwards
achieved a national reputation for his gallant
conduct in the Civil War, was Joshua L.
Chamberlain, who was promoted from colonel
to brigadier general upon the field of battle by
Gen. Grant, and who is highly eulogized in
Grant's Memoirs. He had French and Ger-
man, our recitations in French being had in
the Sophomore year and in German in the
248
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Junior year. He was a most companionable
and agreeable instructor.
"Those who knew Gen. Chamberlain as a
college professor, and basked in the sunlight
of his most delightful companionship, and
afterwards watched his career while in the ser-
vice of his country, will ever ' have an
affection for him which will not end during
life. Like some of the noble German soldiers
who left the universities to engage in warfare,
he has shown that literary culture and deep
scholarly research do not unfit, but rather
improve a man for the duties of intelligent ser-
vice in war.
"The first real exercises we had in the mili-
tary art were inaugurated by Thos. W. Hyde
of Bath, who died but a few years ago. He
was then a Junior, who lived in Chicago for
a while and had been a member of the famous
Chicago Zouaves. He organized a company
of students known as the "Bowdoin Guards."
He drilled them thoroughly and sometimes
almost mercilessly in order to perfect them
in the duties of a soldier. Ths organization
afterwards turned out a great many officers,
who served in the Maine troops and else-
where. Hyde himself, in his Junior year,
was made a major of the Seventh Maine Reg-
iment, at that time a most unusual appoint-
ment for a man so young.
"Before the war ended many of these youth-
ful soldiers followed the example of the men
in the regiments, passing to the front before
their eyes, and themeselves added much to the
success of the Maine troops in the war.
"Space does not allow me to give in detail
a sketch of the Bowdoin graduates who par-
ticipated in the Civil War. It would be theme
of much interest and might serve a patriotic
purpose. As a rule these young men — and
they were all young men — added considerable
lustre to the already glorious record of old
Bowdoin, among the more notable of whom
was General Howard, who had taken his full
course at Bowdoin and afterwards was a
graduate of West Point, and finally instructor
thereat. During the Civil War his record
was most notable, and he is to-day, I believe,
the only man living who had an independent
army under his command during the great
conflict. Although a desperate fighter he be-
came, by his Christian conduct and character,
the Havelock of the American army, and
to-day is doing a grand work in the organiza-
tion of a college among the hardy mountain-
eers of North ' Carolina, whose guest I once
was after escaping, as a prisoner of war and
trying to make my way to safety among our
troops in Tennessee. As illustrative of
the general contribution of Maine to the army
I will say that my own class numbered in all
53, of which forty graduated. Sixteen entered
the military service, and nearly all of them
served at the beginning, or before the end of
the war, as officers. Our list shows two priv-
ates, seven lieutenants, four captains, one lieu-
tenant-colonel, and two colonels, both of
whom were breveted brigadier generals.
"When I entered college there was no gym-
nasium, properly so called, except an old build-
ing across the street from the college grounds,
in which were set up a few parallel bars, a few
rings, and where we had the use of an unlim-
ited number of dumb-bells, Indian clubs, etc.
"Lest some of the younger graduates pres-
ent may have the erroneous impression that
during my own day in college we paid but lit-
tle attention to literary pursuits, I wish to
impress upon them that we probably did quite
as much real work in literary matters as our
successors have done, and certainly had less
of some of the minor vices which now afflict
the younger generation. A cigarette-smok-
ing Freshman was then unknown.
"Then, as now, we look back and up to the
distinguished graduates of Bowdoin with all
the reverence and respect which was due to
them and to ourselves. Honored names then,
as now, were incentive to persistent and con-
scientious labor. The distinguished states-
men, orators and poets of previous classes
were to us a delight and an inspiration. Bow-
doin has exemplified the advantages of a small
college as compared with those of a large one,
with its many divisions and ramifications. I
believe that the cohesion of a few men, follow-
ing a common purpose and working in uni-
son, is stronger and more enduring than com-
binations of large numbers, where the acquain-
tance cannot be intimate and where the affec-
tion between man and man is too much spread
out for the complete welding together of dif-
ferent units to make a forceful whole."
During the evening excellent music was ren-
dered by the Bowdoin Glee Club, composed of
the following: Pike, '07; Linnell, '07; Ley-
don, '07; W. Crowley, '09; Ham, '08; J.

A NEW BOOK BY LONGFELLOW
Professor Little has been sending out with-
in the past week postal cards concerning a
new book by Longfellow. It is the "Origin
and Growth of the Languages of Southern
Europe and of their Literature," an inaugural
address delivered Sept. 2, 1830, by Henry W.
Longfellow, then a Professor of Modern
Languages at Bowdoin.
The book is of interest as the first
extended essay in prose by the poet, of use as
a comprehensive survey of the subject, and
of value as illustrative of Longfellow's atti-
tude toward literature and poetry. Brief
extracts appeared in the biography by his
brother. The complete work containing met-
rical translations makes a volume of 130 pages.
It is a foolscap octavo, (4x7), printed with
rule border from 8 point old style Roman type
on hand made rag paper. Bound in boards
with uncut edges, or in cloth with gilt tops, it
will be mailed for $2 ; or in full flexible leather
for $3.
The book will appear on Longfellow's birth-
day, February 27, but as only 250 copies are
to be printed, anyone desiring a copy should
order now of Prof. Geo. T. Little, Librarian
of Bowdoin College Library.
LONGFELLOW OBSERVANCE
Announcement is made that the college will
observe the 100th anniversary of Longfellow's
birth on Feb. 27th. The exercises will con-
sist of a poem by Professor Henry Johnson,
and address by Professor Mitchell and several
musical numbers.
The exercises will take place in Memorial
Hall at 11 a.m.
ST. PAUL'S, II; BOWDOIN, 0
Bowdoin lost its first game of hockey last
Saturday, being defeated by the St. Paul
School at Concord by the score of 11 to o.
The school team showed splendid all-round
ability, and with remarkably good team work,
were able to roll up a good-sized score.
The Bowdoin men played a good individual
game, but their team work did not compare
favorably with their opponents. The men do
not feel in the least discouraged over the
result, as it is well known that the New Hamp-
shire team is one of the fastest in New Eng-
land and our -team could not expect to win
the initial game from such an aggregation.
The men speak in the highest terms of their
treatment by the school and were much pleased
with the trip. The line-up of the teams was
as follows:
Bowdoin. St. Paul.
Smith, g g., French
Bower, p p., Bartlett
Hughes, c c, Campbell
Hamburger, f f, Jennings
Dresser, f f., Hawley
Abbott, f f., McCoy
Lawrence, f f ., Blair
Goals — McCoy, 6; Blair, 2; Hawley, 2; Jennings.
Referee— G. P. Milne. Timekeeper— W. Scudder.
Goal Umpires — Bouscher and Hamilton.

The work of the relay
Relay Trials squad at their trials of
last Saturday and Tues-
day was a source of satisfaction to the stu-
dents. The time made by the men was faster
than that made at relay trials for some time
and is an indication of what hard work can do
for an athlete. The material at hand this year
was not unusually promising and the good
showing made may be said to come in no small
degree from real spirit and real work. Let
us have more of the same thing. It is what
makes a college strong in more ways than one.
. . J. The Orient is pleased to
**. . announce that Bowdoin
™ will celebrate Longfellow's
birthday on Feb. 27th. While the full details
cannot be stated this week, it may be said that
the services will be in keeping with the observ-
ance of the 1 ooth anniversary of the birth of
poet, and the occasion will be one in which the
students will doubtless take a deep interest.
One of the greatest sources of inspiration to a
Bowdoin student is the great names that are
forever associated with his college, and there
are none of which they can be more proud
than that of the great poet.
Bowdoin will play her first
First Hockey Game game of intercollegiate
hockey on the Whittier
Field to-morrow afternoon, and if the weather
is favorable, it is hoped and expected that
there will be a large attendance of students.
Those who have been instrumental in the
bringing of the game into prominence have
worked very hard thus far and it goes with-
out saying that they need encouragement from
the students. Considerable expense is involved
in the making of the rink and this, with many
other expenses, necessitates the charging of
an admission fee of 25 cents, — a tax to which
the students should readily respond.
The Orient takes the fol-
The Small College lowing editorial comment
from the Washington Star
relative to the recent Bowdoin alumni dinner
in that city. The article is of interest not only
because it relates to Bowdoin, but also as treat-
ment of a topic of interest to the friends of
small colleges in general. The article is as
follows :
"The State of Maine is famous for a good
many things and among them is Bowdoin
College. Maine is proud of Bowdoin and the
rest of the world is proud of both, because
Bowdoin is typical of the small American col-
leges. Last night the local Bowdoin Alumni
held their annual dinner and in the presence
and speech of Wm. DeWitt Hyde, the presi-
dent of Bowdoin, one of the reasons for the
success of the college was revealed. Dr. Hyde
in his admirable speech drew attention to the
thought, that is getting more and more atten-
tion from educators, that the small college pos-
sesses qualities for education and character
building impossible to the big universities. Dr.
Hyde pointed out that the ideal college should
be big enough to afford uncramped develop-
ment along all lines, but yet not so big that
the faculty loses touch with the individual
student or that any student be not so thor-
oughly known to the entire undergraduate
body as to be responsible to his fellows for the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
25J
manner in which he lives his life. Dr. Hyde's
remarks drew clear attention to the undoubted
strength possessed by colleges containing only
a comparatively small number of students, and
even the big colleges of the day are realizing
this fact and the effort at such educational
centres is for closer individual touch with the
student."
RELAY TRIALS
The relay trials were held on Saturday of
last week, the course being a distance of 390
yards on the car track, starting at the head of
Harpswell Street, and extending to a point
opposite the old Delta.
The men made an excellent showing and
judging from the results of the trials the team
should give an account of themselves at the
meet. The men who took part and the time
made was as follows :
Atwood, '09, 46 1-5 seconds; Mincher, '07,
46 1-2 seconds; Kimball, '07, 47 1-2 seconds;
Colbath, '10, 47 4-5 seconds; Manter, '09, 48
1-5 seconds; Powers, '09, 49 seconds.
Of this number, Atwood, Mincher, Kimball
and Manter were selected for the team, while
Colbath was named as alternate.

PROVIDENCE ALUMNI DINNER
The Bowdoin Alumni Association of Providence
held its annual banquet on the evening of Thursday,
January 31. Preceding the banquet, Commander
Robert E. Peary, 'yy, gave a lecture in Infantry Hall
on "Farthest North." The lecture was illustrated by
lantern slides and conveyed some idea of the perils
and hardships which the explorer went through on
his record-breaking dash for the Pole when he
reached 87 degree, 6 minutes, north latitude.
He told of previous dashes for this goal made
by Nansen and others and described his ship, the
"Roosevelt," to whose staunchness he owed his suc-
cess. He described the strange animals of the far
northern lands and pictured graphically the condi-
tions of the climate and the winter darkness, the
worst foe of the explorer, since it often makes men
insane.
Commander Peary outlined his trip, showing how
he and his party left New York July 16, 1905, and
went into winter qaurters for the long night on
October 16. The sun was not visible from that day
until March 6, 1906. In the spring the party set out
for the Pole. They advanced over the ice until they
reached a large open sea where they waited for more
provisions to be brought. The open water froze
over while they were waiting and they decided to
take advantage of this and push on with what little
food they had. These brave men pushed on till they
were almost ready to drop, but at last they were
obliged to turn back or die. On the return to the
ship the party was almost destroyed several times.
At one place they had to walk two miles across thin
ice which gave way almost immediately after they
had reached safety. They joined several provision
parties on their way back and at last reached the
ship without the loss of a single man.
The alumni banquet was held at the University
Club, after the lecture. The speakers were, besides
Commander Peary, Dr. John C. Parker, '86, presi-
dent of the Alumni Association ; Edwin Stanwood,
'61, who is editor-in-chief of the Youth's Compan-
ion; Professor F. C. Robinson of the college, and
Professor William Macdonald of Brown University.
The vice-president of the association is A. M. Mer-
riman, '92, and the treasurer is Alfred R. Ward, '96.
FOR THE B. A. A. MEET
The Bowdoin relay team will leave to-morrow
morning for Boston, where it will meet Tufts in
Mechanics Hall at the annual B. A. A. meet. Those
who went included Kimball, '07; Mincher, '07;
Atwood, '09; and Manter, '09, as the regular mem-
bers of the team, and Colbath, '10, as alternate. The
men will be accompanied by Capt. Shorey, Manager
Lee, Robinson, '07. Voorhees, '07, Chandler, '07, and
Thomas, '08, are also planning to go, and it is possi-
ble that there may be others.

SUNDAY CHAPEL SERVICE
Next Sunday there will be tried a new chapel
service which if successful, will be continued for the
rest of the year. The service will open with a
hymn which is to be sung by the whole college, the
choir sitting on the forms with their regular classes.
Following the hymns will come the responsive read-
ing, then a song by a quartette, then the short ser-
mon, then a solo or another quartette song, /followed
by a short prayer or benediction which will close
the service.
THE DEUTSCHER VEREIN
Owing to the fact that New Meadows Inn has
been closed for repairs, the Verein will hold its next
meeting, which occurs on March I, in the debating
room of the Hubbard Library. The speaker of the
evening is to be Professor Carr of the University of
Maine. The members of the Verein are privileged
to invite their friends and at the conclusion of Prof.
Carr's address the Verein plans to hold an informal
reception.
"RESERVES," 14; BATES '07, 6
The Bowdoin Reserves basketball team defeated
Bates, '07, in the Armory Hall, Tuesday evening,
by a score of 14 to 6. The Bates team excelled in
passing, but the effective work of the Bowdoin
guards and the ability of the forwards to shoot
baskets gave them the game with a good sized mar-
gin. The work of Newman, '10, at guard, and of
Valladares, Med., for the local team, was the best
of the Bowdoin team. Johnson played the star game
for the visiting team, he making the entire six
points.

clude the trip with a concert in Augusta Saturday
evening.
The clubs will also give a concert in Bath Monday
evening. The concert that was to have been given
in Freeport last evening was cancelled.
CORNELL DEBATE
It was stated at the time of going to press that
a letter had been received from Cornell stating
that they would be willing to debate Bowdoin at
Brunswick on condition that Bowdoin pay all
expenses. As this would involve a large sum of
money it was believed to be doubtful if the Debat-
ing Council would take favorable action, although
the matter had not been considered at the time of
going to press.
CLASS OF 1887
During the first two weeks of February

CLASS OF 1846
General Thomas H. Talbot, who was col-
onel of the First Maine Heavy Artillery dur-
ing the Civil War, and who served as Assist-
ant United States Attorney-General under
President Johnson, died Feb. 11, at his home
in Brookline, Mass. Death was due to a stroke
of apoplexy. He was 84 years of age. He
was born in Machias, Me., and at the out-
break of the war joined the Eighth Maine
Infantry. He was made a lieutenant colonel in
1862 and in the same year was transferred to
the First Maine Heavy Artillery with the rank
of colonel. In 1865 he was promoted to be
brigadier general for faithful and meritorious
service. After the war Gen. Talbot remained
in law practice at Portland, Me., until 1870,
when he went to Boston. He was prominent
in the town affairs of Brookline.

MARKING THE LONGFELLOW ROOM
(The following letter from Mr. Leonard of the
Class of 1847, written to President Hyde and dealing
especially with the matter of marking the Longfel-
low room, will be of especial interest at this time.)
642 Franklin St., Melrose Highlands,
Mass., February 15, 1907.
Rev. William DelVitt Hyde, D.D., LL.D.,
President Botvdoin College:
Honored Sir — I regret that on account of
my age, I shall not dare to venture out to the
Alumni meeting in Boston on the 27th inst.
There is one subject that I feel anxious to
call to your attention at this time. It is the
marking of Longfellow's old room before
those • have passed away who know which it
was. When I entered College in the Fall of
1843, I think it was Treasurer McKeen who
took Mr. Samuel N. Merrill and myself over
to the North College to choose between two
rooms. We were first shown the room in the
third storv, north end of North College, back
side and end room, and told by him that it
was where Longfellow roomed. In the fol-
lowing summer Professor Longfellow came to
Brunswick and with Professor Smyth, the
father of President Egbert C. Smyth, came to
the North End of North College to see Profes-
sor Longfellow's old room. It was near noon,
and our class was just returning from recita-
tion. Jasper Strong Whiting, a son of Major
Whiting of the U. S. Army, occupied that
room and had left it locked and in disorder.
He naturally did not hasten to return. Long-
fellow very courteously asked some one to get
the key for him to see his old room. C. P.
Roberts of the Class of '45, got it. Of course,
boylike, many of us stood around to see the
Professors enter. Whiting in giving up the
key, had urged Roberts to keep them waiting
until he had put things in better order, but
there was no chance to do it. The two Profes-
sors were standing at the door when he
returned with the key. Longfellow simply
passed through the room to one of the back
windows and looked out for a moment, and
then went out. His whole bearing was that of
a gentleman. He did not seem to notice the
disorder. He was then very slim, a trifle under
middle size and wore, I think, side whiskers.
His dress was very neat. The trousers of light
color and as the fashion of that time was,
strapped down over his boots. I think he
wore a Prince Albert frock coat, and a pair of
very light tan kid gloves. You remember that
in his Hyperion, published not far from ^iis
time, he speaks of some old woman in Switzer-
land or Germany, who spoke of him as "wear-
ing gloves a shade too light for a strictly vir-
tuous man." In Senator Hoar's reminiscences
and in Rev. Edward Everett Hale's book, he
is spoken of as a dandy. I have no doubt that
he was the best dressed Professor at Harvard.
He treated the students so courteously that he
had the respect of every undergraduate ; on one
occasion in some disturbance in the grounds,
the excited young men would not listen to any
of the older professors, but when Longfellow
came, they said, let us hear him because he
always treats us like gentlemen. He was the
first Professor to call them Mr. As to his
clothes, he was often in Paris, and like many
gentlemen as late as 1852, had his clothes made
there because in better taste, and cheaper even
after paying the duties. I was provoked the
other day in hearing Col. Higginson speak of
him as, on one occasion, wearing trousers with
the wide stripes running around the legs. Pos-
sibly he wore trousers that had a trifle of diag-
onal, but Longfellow never wore an untasty
garment, nor spoke nor wrote a word out of
taste. He was born with the finest instincts of
a gentleman and never stepped aside from it.
I hardly know what would be the wisest way
to designate that room. A strip of brass might
be a temptation to some collector of curiosities,
white were the name painted in small letters
above the door, it might remain undisturbed
until the entry was repainted, and then the
name could be renewed. Please excuse an old
man for my suggestions.
Respectfully,
Edwin Leonard, '47.

LONGFELLOW ANNIVERSARY
The plans for the Longfellow Anniversary,
which is to be held in Memorial Hall on Thurs-
day, the 27th, are now well along and the
indications are that the occasion will be one of
great interest. As stated last week Jhe exer-
cises will consist of an address by Professor
W. B. Mitchell and a poem by Professor
Henry Johnson with music by college talent.
The exercises will be held at 1 1 o'clock and
recitations will be suspended from 10.30 until
1.30.
Communication.
To the Editor:
I was very much interested in the editorial
recently appearing in the Orient in advocacy
of a graduate publication, and in Mr. Edward
Stanwood's counter proposition that the
Orient devote more space to the Alumni. 1
have looked for further views on the subject
as I regard the matter well worth serious
consideration. Whatever tends to strengthen
or broaden the interest of Bowdoin men in the
college or in one another should receive our
hearty support.
I am entirely of Mr. Stanwood's opinion,
however, that a publication of the character
suggested could not be successfully main-
tained at Bowdoin, but that the Orient could
greatly improve on its own work in this field,
could cover the ground and in doing so would
materially add to its usefulness as our college
newspaper.
The argument against Mr. Stanwood's
proposition seems to be that it is difficult to
obtain news of Alumni except as it is discov-
ered in the daily papers.
Would it not be possible for the Editors of'
the Orient to enlist the co-operation of the
graduates, — to secure a correspondent in the
various centers where Bowdoin men are found
in considerable numbers, to gather the news, —
at Augusta, Portland, Cambridge, Boston,
New York, Washington. For example, we
Bostonians would like to know what our
Alumni are doing at Augusta to deserve well
of the State and, vice-versa, if you had a
reporter in attendance upon the dinners of the
Bowdoin Club of Boston I doubt not he would
secure many items of interest to them. In
fact, the addresses at these dinners are well
worth reporting, as for example, Dr. Lin-
coln's at the November meeting on China, and
Mr. Lowell's Jan. 5th on "Esperanto." Again
not unfrequently, an "old grad" drops in on
us from distant climes and in the exuberant
joy of meeting some classmate has a tale to
tell that all of his old college friends would
rejoice to read in the Orient if only some
scribe were present to jot down his words.
Is my idea as an amendment to Mr. Stan-
wood's suggestion worth adopting?
Edgar O. Achorn.
TUFTS WINS THE RELAY RACE
Bowdon lost the relay race with Tufts at
the B. A. A. Meet last Saturday night, the
Massachusetts college winning out at the end
after a series of relays in which Bowdoin was
picked for an easy winner. The loss of the
race was due principally to an accident for
which no one was to blame, Kimball receiving
an unfortunate fall in the last race.
The first relay started off with Atwood run-
ning his opponent off his feet and finishing
10 yards in the lead. Mincher came next and
ran a splendid race, adding five yards more
to that which had already been gained by
Atwood. Manter was the third runner for
Bowdoin and had as his opponent Capt. Pow-
ers of the Tufts team, and lost 10 of the 15
yards gained. Kimball came next and with
five yards in the lead the race looked to be
Bowdoin's, but at this time Kimball fell and
gave his opponent a lead and a victory. Kim-
ball's fall was absolutely unavoidable, the floor
being very slippery, and there being no less
than five men falling during the evening.
An expert who was present at the meet
stated that the race was really a victory. for
Bowdoin and under ordinary conditions would
have won. The time was 3 minutes, 19 2-5
seconds.
The other events of the meet resulted as fol-
lows :
Two-mile run— Bonhag, N Y. A. C, 1st; Nebrich,
N Y. A. C, 2d; Frank, N. Y. A. C, 3d.
Mile run— Cohn, I. A. A. C, 1st; Reardon, Cam-

Bartlett, with a handicap of six feet, hurled the
sphere 36 feet 6 1-2 inches.
The last field jump, the high jump, was won
by R. H. Allen of M. I. T. (5 1-2 inches), with
a height of 6 feet I inch; Gidney of B. A. A.
(scratch), with an actual jump of 6 feet 1-4 inch,
took third place.
BOWDOIN, 4; MAINE, 1
The Bowdoin hockey team won a signal vic-
tory over the University of Maine last Satur-
day afternoon, when it defeated the Orono
men by a score of 4 to 1 in the first game
of intercollegiate hockey ever played in
Maine.
The contest was played on the Whittier
Field and was witnessed by a large number of
students. It was well played throughout,
both teams playing a skilful game, but with
Bowdoin showing a superiority over the visit-
ors during the greater part of the time.
During the first half, Maine was able to
keep the score even, both sides scoring but one
point, but in the last half Bowdoin secured
three more and had it not been for the condi-
tion of the ice in front of Maine's goal it is
probable that the score would have been
larger.
The game was pleasing to all and those who
saw it believe that the sport is one that should
become a permanent part of our athletics. The
two teams will meet again to-day at Orono.
MUSICAL CLUBS
The College Musical Clubs gave a concert
in Bath last Monday evening under the aus-
pices of the Morse High School. The
various numbers were well received and the
whole program went off in a most creditable
manner.
The clubs left Wednesday forenoon for a
trip to Ellsworth, Bangor, Oldtown and
Augusta, appearing in these place in the
order named. They will return to Brunswick
to-morrow night.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On Thursday evening, Dr. D. A. Robinson, A.M.,
M.D., '73, of Bangor, spoke under the auspices of
the Christian Association in Hubbard Hall. It was
the third of the public meetings which are to be
addressed by speakers on "The Ethical Aspects of
the Professions," and Dr. Robinson represented the
doctors. He said in substance :
A young man should not enter, the medical profes-
sion with the expectation of getting rich Fortunes
are to be found rather in law or business. Medi-
cine, however, does offer an intensely interesting
life work, fair remuneration and the possibility of
high social standing. In these days, physicians are
entering all branches of social activity, especially
politics, in which, as promoters of public hygiene,
they fulfill a special mission. Years ago the medical
profession failed to keep abreast with the times. For
example, doctors continued their leeching, in accord-
ance with ancient precedent, long after the common
people knew the folly of it, but in our day, few of
the laity can keep the pace of advancing medical
discovery.
The American Medical Association has drawn up
a code of ethics consisting of ideals of modesty,
temperance, responsibility, fidelity, and self-sacrifice.
It emphasizes especially the dignity, one might
almost say, the divinity, of the medical profession.
Last night the meeting of the Association was
called to hear the reports of the Bible Study classes.
On Thursday, February 28, Mr. George W. Hinck-
ley of Good Will Farm, will speak in Hubbard Hall
at the last of the public meetings on the "Ethical
Aspects of the Professions," and will speak on "The
Ethics of Social Service."

More About
Alumni News
The Orient publishes in
another column a commu-
nication from Mr. Achorn
relative to the matter of alumni news. The
idea advanced would seem to be a good one,
if it can be made to work. The Orient would
extend an invitation to the alumni associations
and other groups to select one or more of
their members as correspondents to forward
news, as suggested by Mr. Achorn, and assures
them that their contributions will be wel-
comed. We feel that the alumni associations
and residents of cities where there are Bow-
doin men can select the correspondents to far
better advantage than can the Orient. If
the alumni will so select them, we will do
our share toward the publication of all contri-
butions.
A good word should be
Sunday Chapel said for the change that
has been made in the man-
ner of conducting the Sunday chapel exercises.
They are more in the nature of vesper ser-
vices and are naturally more attractive than
under the old arrangement. There are more
musical numbers and as long as the quality
of these is preserved without the sacrifice of
any of the other parts of the services, the
arrangement will be one that will meet the
approval of all. The Orient congratulates
those in charge on the change.
The following account of
Concerning the Hfe q{ ^ Talb
General Talbot whose ^ wa? men_
tioned briefly in last week's issue, is taken
from an editorial page of the Kennebec Jour-
nal. The article is not only a fine tribute to
the memory of the deceased, but also contains
many facts of interest to our older readers. It
is as follows :
"Another brave Maine soldier has been
mustered out in the death of John Thomas H.
Talbot this week at his home in Brookline,
Mass., in his 84th year. It is an interesting
coincidence that his death and that of Gen.
Starbird occurred so closely together. Both
were natives of Maine, both won rank as
brigadier generals in the Civil War, both were
graduates of Bowdoin College, and both have
passed the later years of their life in Massa-
chusetts. Gen. Talbot was born in East
Machias in 1823 and came of one of the most
prominent families of southern Maine. Gen.
Talbot's most conspicuous service in the Civil
War was with that famous fighting organiza-
tion, the First Maine Heavy Artillery, which
suffered the largest loss of any Union regi-
ment during the war. He was constantly with
the regiment from its muster in 1862, com-
manded a battalion at Spottsylvania Court
House and at Cold Harbor, and was in com-
mand of the regiment during the battles of
BOWDOIN ORIENT
259
that awful summer of 1864. At Spottsylvania
the First Maine Heavy Artillery lost 155 men
killed, and 374 wounded, a total of 529, or
about 30 per cent, of its strength. It was this
regiment which was hurled against the Con-
federate works at Petersburg with a loss of
632 men killed or wounded out of a total
strength of 850, and all of this horrible
slaughter occurred within 15 minutes. A few
weeks after this battle Col. Talbot took com-
mand of the brigade when the brigadier gen-
eral fell mortally wounded in battle.
'.'Gen. Talbot graduated from Bowdoin in
the Class of 1846. Prominent among his 34
classmates were Gen. Frederick D. Sewall,
Judge Charles M. Chamberlain of California,
Charles A. Spofford who was speaker of the
Maine House in 1857, Rev Edwin B. Webb,
D.D., for many years an Augusta pastor, and
Dr. John S. H. Fogg of Boston, who gave his
native town of Eliot its public library building
and the Maine Historical Society a collection
of autographs of high value. Last June
there were four survivors of this class remain-
ing, and three of them met at Brunswick dur-
ing Comencement week to celebrate the 60th
anniversary of their graduation. They were
Gen. Talbot, Gen. Sewall and Joseph C. Pick-
ard of Chicago, for many years a college
professor in Illinois and Wisconsin. The
fourth survivor of the class, Josiah Pierce, for
many years in the United States consular ser-
vice, is spending his declining years in Lon-
don totally blind, but he sent to his three old
friends a long letter as his share in their
reunion.
"After graduating from Bowdoin College
Gen. Talbot entered upon the practice of the
law in Portland where he remained until he
went to the front in 1862 in the First Maine
Heavy Artillery. After the war closed he
resumed the practice of his profession and for
four years was assistant attorney-general of
the United States at Washington. After this
he practiced his profession in Boston with
much success, residing in the town of Brook-
line where for a dozen years he was unani-
mously elected to the board of assessors.
He was a son of whom Maine had many
reasons to be proud, and nobody will more
deeply mourn his loss than the surviving vet-
erans of the First Maine Heavy Artillery who
faced under his leadership such awful scenes
of carnage over 40 years ago."

LONGFELLOW ANNIVERSARY
Bowdoin observed the centennial of her
greatest poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
of the Class of 1825, last Wednesday forenoon,
in a fitting manner. The exercises took place
at 1 1 o'clock and consisted of an address by
Prof. W. B. Mitchell and an original poem by
Prof. Henry Johnson, together with musical
numbers by college talent. Both of the literary
numbers were of rare excellence and were list-
ened to with the greatest interest. The address
by Prof. Mitchell was of a character that
entitles it to a publication in full, but owing
to lack of space we are able to present only the
closing pages.
PROF. MITCHELL'S ADDRESS
After sketching the earlier part of Mr.
Longfellow's life, Prof. Mitchell said in clos-
ing:
With the story of that forty years before
1875 you and all the world are familiar. You
recall the first overwhelming blow that fell
upon him in the death of his young wife in a
foreign land, and the faith with which he met
it. You recall the triumphs and sorrows of his
life in Cambridge; the success of his teaching
there ; those happy friendships with Fulton,
and Sumner and Agassiz and Lowell. You
recall the happiness of his home life when his
second wife, the beautiful Mary Ashburton of
Hyperion, was the good angel of his house-
hold, the congenial companion, the apprecia-
tive councillor, the winning and gracious
hostess to welcome to their cultured home his
many friends. You recall the joys of father-
hood that his three children brought him, his
two sons and his three daughters, ''grave Alice
and laughing Allegra, and Edith with golden
hair," those "blue-eyed banditti" that he put
down into the dungeon in the round tower of
his heart. You recall those literary triumphs
when the poet found himself loved and famous
because he had sung in beautiful and artistic
verse the joys and sorrows which a new people
had felt but could not express. And then you
recall the tragedy that came into his life — the
suffering expressed in that sad but beautiful
sonnet, "The Cross of Snow."
In July, 1875, the Class of 1825 held its 50th
reunion. Of the 39 members who graduated,
13 survived and 11 were present. The alumni
of Bowdoin College and the people of Bruns-
wick will not soon forget that meeting in the
Church on the Hill. All who were there tell
the same story. The throng that crowded the
church was enchanted by the personality of
one man. Fifty years before in almost
exactly the same spot the 19-year-old boy had
spoken his Commencement part on "Native
Writers" and praised the literary resources of
America. He had then gone forth and proved
his thesis by writing Evangeline and Miles
Standish and Hiawatha. He now had returned
to his Alma Mater, an old man, loved by thous-
ands, whom the rulers and learned universities
of his own and other lands had delighted to
honor.
It was an historical moment in the life of
Bowdoin College, when that aged poet sur-
rounded by ten of his surviving classmates,
with the golden sunlight falling on his silver
hair, in deep, mellow tones uttered these
words :
"O Csesar, we who are about to die
Salute you !" was the gladiators' cry,
In the arena standing face to face
With death and with the Roman populace.
"O ye familiar scenes, ye groves of pine,
That once were mine and are no longer mine,
Thou river, widening thro' the meadows green
To the vast sea, so near and yet unseen, —
Ye halls, in whose seclusion and repose
Phantoms of fame, like exhalations, rose
And vanished, — we who are about to die
Salute you."
On the next day after the poem was deliv-
ered, that little band of eleven gray-haired
men, who had had several class meetings dur-
ing the week, met in one of the dormi-
tory rooms, talked together as of old and for
half an hour were college boys again. Before
they left the room a prayer was offered; they
went out together under the Thorndike Oak;
the benediction was pronounced ; and Longfel-

low and his classmates separated to meet no
more in this world.
Such were the associations of Bowdoin's
greatest poet with his college. What his place
in the hearts of Bowdoin men is — indeed in
the hearts of the American people — we all
know. What his ultimate place in- English
Literature may be is a question which only the
great mentor, Time, can answer.
He undoubtedly had his limitations. His fig-
ures of speech are sometimes fanciful ; often
his verses smack overmuch of the library ; fre-
quently he deals with battles in books rather
than with the real warfare of life. Although
not an imitator, he is more often the artistic
reteller of beautiful tales than the originator of
great thoughts. He did not think as deeply as
did Browning; he had not the philosophical
insight of Emerson. He did not much concern
himself with the great questions of doubt and
faith which have often stirred the souls of
great poets. He was an artist first and a
romancer afterwards. He did not try to prove
that the Holy Motherhood once lived upon
earth ; he was willing to paint the Madonna
as his imagination saw her. There were also
peaks of emotion reached by other poets that
he never scaled. He so lacked the ardent tem-
per of the reformer that he sometimes dis-
pleased his anti-slavery friends. He was the
psalmist rather than the prophet. He was in life
very fond of the music of the flute, and it is
the soothing note of the flute rather than the
blast of the clarion that we hear most often in
his poetry. Upon the book plate in his library
was his favorite motto : "Non clamor sed
amor" — not violence or noise but love. That
was the burden of his many songs.
He has been called the children's laureate,
for in his verse he celebrated their elemental
simplicity and sincerity. He has been called
"the people's poet;" for he sang the joys and
sorrows of common men. He sang the mira-
cles of birth, of marriage, and of death as they
are wrought in the common household. He
was able by the magic of his song to make the
common sacred ; and often at his touch over-
drudgery and suffering have taken on a new
meaning and become divine.
New forces and new methods, new music
and new truths, will come into English poetry
in the changing years ; and Longfellow may
some day have to surrender his position as
America's Laureate. But it is difficult to think
of the time when his sonnets — such as those to
"Chaucer," to Keats and to "Three Friends of
Mine" — will not measure up to the standards
of great poetry, or when Hiawatha, our "near-
est approach to a national epic," as it has been
called, will not "belong to the great story book
of the world." It is difficult to think of the
time, as long as children are childlike, as long
as "men and women work and win, struggle
and lose, love and bury," when some of his
ballads, his lyrics, or his idylls will not enter-
tain or soothe or strengthen.
"He the best of all musicians,
He the sweetest of all singers,
Beautiful and child-like was he,
Brave as man is, soft as woman,
Pliant as a wand of willow,
Stately as a deer with antlers.
"For his gentleness we loved him,
And the magic of his singing."
PROF. JOHNSON'S POEM
The following poem, written and delivered
by Professor Henry Johnson, was listened to
with great interest.
THE SEER
No human eye foresaw
When His resistless law
Should add another name
To the great scroll of fame ;
And, lo! the child of light
Emerged from out the night
Beneath this northern sky :
"O bright, new earth, 'tis I."
Strong, happy youth, whose fancies rhyme
In laughing song and echoing word,
Matching the wonders of the time,
When life's new melody is heard;
When still we grasp at sun and moon,
And look unawed at starry skies,
Asking of heaven no dearer boon
Than endless childhood's paradise.
Unbidden comes the strange intruder, Death ;
Hushed is the noisy play, checked is the breath,
And all the world is hidden in the mist,
For he has chilled the loving lips we kissed.
In vain we ask, we cannot understand
The silent sleep, the uncaressing hand ;
Sweet music is grown sad, the sweetest flowers
Seem burdened with a speechless pain like ours.
Strong nature rises, and the playing child
Exults to play the man ;
Joys in the storm, and knows the wind less wild
Than the deep surges of the beating heart,
Unresting till the magic wand of art
In the good Mother's plan
Gives the right rhythm, and the spirits dance
Obedient to Love's imperious glance.

Thou great Creator of Thy human-kind,
What joy to search for what Thou veil'st from sight
To wake in us the eager appetite !
We bring Thee worship of the knowing mind ;
We see the tiny fragment of Thy law
Within the ken of eyes that Thou hast given;
We strive with courage where the great have
striven ;
Not yet for us the inner temple's awe.
But still beyond the truth of outward things
Thou yearnest to reveal the inward grace,
And shinest through the beauty of a face,
And we behold, and all creation sings.
For two, for two alone, the whole world lives ;
The dream grows real with pain and happy tears,
While Thou dost teach the lesson of our years,
That he alone is rich who richly gives.
Thrice happy he whose heart could still be brave
When open foes assailed in open fields,
And honor met the sword that honor yields,
And took the strokes that worthy foeman gave ;
When came the day of fickle fortune's flight.
Bearing with her the fools' gold of our thrift
But impotent to take away her gift
Of year-long courage and the clearer sight;
When dread disease inflamed the house of life
In which one dearer than our being dwelt;
And in our terror we afar had knelt
While loving skill met nature's hidden strife ;
But bravest of the sons of men is he
Who meets the savage look of clear, cold hate,
Nor hates the hater, nor does hesitate
An instant in his own soul's loyalty.
The day of others' doubt is overcast;
Heaven's silent blessings on the home descend,
The table and the fireside and the friend,
And days of trusty comradeship at last,
How quick to share the thought but half expressed,
To fly around the earth on fancy's wings
And see the marriage of the Thoughts and Things,
The instant's birth of a divine unrest.
If Thou have joined in us the hearing ear,
The seeing soul, the life that dwells apart,
The universe beats with the beating heart,
The music of the atom and the sphere.
We too may hear the never-ending woes,
May suffer with the hopeful souls that rise
To the thunder of the heavenly harmonies,
For through all worlds Thy great poet rose.
The mighty soul dwells infinitely far
In her solitude beyond our ken ;
She comes to us, we know not how nor when,
And in the seeming shows the things that are.
She recks not though our cry be low or loud,
She heeds not all the folly of our deeds ;
She worships in the service of our needs,
To which the heaven once was bowed.
What though we draw more near with measuring-
rod
And dare the holy stillness to profane,
Or shatter every earthly shrine? In vain,
In vain, for we are blinded by the God.
His prophet, unapproachable, divine,
By gift of grace, beholds the world we know;
He lives within the world, and lives to show
Immortal gold in his new-minted line.
And when the line is ours, and the strong soul
Is hidden in the splendor of That Day,
We pause an instant, wondering, and say :
God speed thee ever to thy glorious goal !

BOSTON ALUMNI BANQUET
On Wednesday evening the Bowdoin
Alumni Association of Boston and Vicinity,
held a banquet at the Hotel Brunswick in
honor of the 100th anniversary of Longfel-
low's birthday. A remarkably large number
of members were present, and the event was a
great success. Among the principal speakers
were: Prof. H. L. Chapman, '66, Prof. Bar-
rett Wendell of Harvard, Hon. C. F. Libby,
'64, of Portland, Dr. F. H. Gerrish, '66, of
Portland, Mr. Orville D. Baker, '68, of
Augusta, and Mr. Isaac B. Choate, '62, who
read an original poem.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On Thursday evening, February 21, twenty mem-
bers were present at the student meeting held in the
Christian Association rooms. C. W. Snow, '07, led
the meeting, and G. H. Hull, '07, gave an informal
talk on the ideals of a college man. He said that
there were about four types of well-meaning,
honest college men ; the man who is trying
to make his own life a happy one, the man
who is trying to accumulate knowledge, the man
who lives in books of poetry, and the man who tries
to do everything for everybody else. The ideal man
is no one of these extreme types, — for extremeness
is insanity — but the ideal is a combination of the
"happy-go-lucky" fellow, the "plugger," the "vision-
ary" and the "one who is thoughtful of others,"
with this whole combination resting on wisdom,
which is an appreciation of one's environment, or
merely "common sense."
Last evening Mr. G. W. Hinckley, of Good Will
Farm, spoke in Hubbard Hall, on "The Ethical
Aspects of Social Service." An account of the
address will appear in the next issue.

Not a The Orient of this week
Longfellow Special devotes considerable space
to an account of the Long-
fellow observance of Wednesday. Were it
possible to do so, the Orient would be pleased
to produce a special number in honor of Bow-
doin's great poet, as the occasion was one
deserving of the recognition. Owing to the
cost, however, it cannot be done, and we are
obliged to content ourselves by devoting a con-
siderable portion of space to the occasion. We
are obliged to omit many other matters of
importance, but .the event is surely worthy of
the sacrifice.
Quizzes at
End of Terms
The attention of the
faculty is called to the
arrangement of quizzes in
the closing days of the terms. There is neces-
sarily a large number of quizzes in the closing
days, as a great portion of the instructors
wish to sum up the work at that. time. Nev-
ertheless, an indiscriminate arrangement, as
is sometimes the case, puts many students
under difficulties and at an unfair advantage.
Just previous to the Christmas recess one stu-
dent in regular standing and taking pretty
nearly what would be considered courses
belonging to his class, had a total of five one
hour quizzes in one day, while many men had
three. This is not by any means a great evil,
nor does it entail a hardship that the average
college man cannot stand. Still, it would seem
that a little care in the matter would enable
students to do far better work without much
inconvenience to anyone. The holding of
quizzes at the close of the term is something
that has come with the semester system and in
some instances has made the work for their
preparation almost equal to that for the final
examination — which we think should not be
the case.
Men in college will be
Football Coach pleased to learn that
Coach Ross McClave will
handle the Bowdoin football squad next fall.
This announcement is pleasing not so much
because it marks a return to professional
coaching as it is that it marks the return of a
man who handled the Bowdoin squad with a
degree of success that has seldom been the
fortune of our coaches. He held the confi-
dence of the men to a greater degree, per-
haps, than any football coach in years and for
this reason his return is particularly pleasing.
Confidence is the first essential in the coach-
ing of a team and it is, perhaps, not unjust to
say that a lack of it was a source of weakness
last fall. This statement is not necessarily a
reflection on those who handled our team at
that time. That there should be a lack of con-
fidence was inevitable at a time when the game
was undergoing a change coupled with a
change in the coaching system and a return
to professional coaching is not necessarily a
reflection on the system then undertaken. It
is rather the retention of a man who has
already been vindicated and whose worth to
our squad is beyond doubt. Sometime when
the new game has become old and Bowdoin
is no longer able to retain McClave it
may be permissible to return to the graduate
system. In the meantime, the majority of the
men in college will be glad of the securing of
McClave for next fall.

to the negative, and Hupper, Redman, and Snow,
with Roberts as alternate were chosen as the men to
represent Bowdoin in the Syracuse debate.
The question debated was "Granting the willing-
ness of Cuba, the annexation of Cuba to the United
States would be for the interests of the United
States."
The arguments were all presented in excellent
manner and showed that much time had been given
to the preparation of the debate. The question was
divided into four issues — economic, social, strategic
and political. The affirmative held that the annexa-
tion of Cuba would open a larger field for the invest-
ment of American capital, would give the United
States a more firm hold on the world's sugar sup-
ply, would be of great benefit to our coast shipping,
would give us a point of especial strategic value in
the Caribbean Sea, due especially to the size of
Cuba and finally, that the citizens of Cuba would
not make undesirable citizens of the United States.
The negative denied these four issues. They stated
that there is good opportunity for the investment of
capital in the western and southern parts of the
United States, and for that reason it is not necessary
or best for Americans to go to Cuba to invest their
money. They asserted that the United States
already owns or controls enough islands in the West
Indies to give her complete control of all entrances
to the Carribean Sea, thus making Cuba unecessary
as a strategic point. One-third of the people of
Cuba are negroes, a large proportion of the whole
population is illiterate and the social conditions of
Cuba are far below those of the United States. The
negative repeatedly declared that the United States
has five times announced to the world that it will
not annex Cuba and finally the negative introduced
as an alternative for annexation, a treaty with Cuba
by which free trade be established with the transport-
ation of goods restricted to American vessels. This
alternative, the negative claimed, would give to the
United States all the economic advantages of annex-
ation with none of its social disadvantages.
The rebuttals were good on both sides, the speak-
ers were quick to detect the weak points in their
opponents' arguments and they set forth their refu-
tations in a clear and forcible manner.
The judges were as announced in last week's issue,
except that Mr. Heath's place was taken by Prof.
Robinson.
CERCLE FRANCAIS
The Cercle Francais met on Tuesday, February
18, at the Kappa Sigma House. Although few mem-
bers were present, Prof. Micoleau gave an interest-
ing talk in French on the geography of France and
the industries of its coast towns. After the talk, an
informal meeting was held, and it was suggested
that the club instead of trying to present the play,
"Les Deux Sourds," present the first act of "Cyrano
de Bergerac," in which no ladies take speaking
parts, and in which there will be many actors
with short parts. No action was taken on the sug-
gestion, but it will be acted upon at the next meet-
ing when an especially large attendance is desired.
VACATION TRIP FOR BASEBALL TEAM
A new feature has been introduced this year in
the development of the baseball team, and a some-
what extended trip is to be taken during the spring
vacation, the team playing two games in New York
City. This plan has been strongly urged by John
Irwin and should be extremely beneficial in develop-
ing the men early, where the spring is so backward
here. The trip will be opened by a game at Prov-
272
BOWDOIN ORIENT
idence and then the team will go to New York to
meet Fordham and Seton Hall. All these teams are
strong and there is every possibility at present that
the spring will be late here, but this early experience
certainly should strengthen the team for its later
contests. Irwin will accompany the team. About
fourteen men will make the trip. Hard baseball work
will commence from now on in anticipation of these
early games. The final baseball schedule' will be
announced next week.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION ENTERTAINMENT AT
LEWISTON
Last Monday evening a party under the manage-
ment of S. G. Haley, '07, gave an entertainment in
Lewiston for the benefit of the Lewiston Social Set-
tlement, as a part of the regular work of the Bow-
doin Christian Association. The entertainment was
given before an audience of over 450 in the hall of
the Dingley School, and was in every way a suc-
cess, the program all going smoothly, Upton, Ken-
drie, and Morrill being special features.
Between six and eight o'clock a reception was
given to the party at the Settlement House, and
after the performance the party again went to the
Settlement where refreshments were served and
everyone was given a good time. The members who
represented the Glee and Mandolin Clubs were:
Pike, '07; Winchell, '07; Linnell, '07; Leydon, '07;
Weed, '07; Kane, '09; Stone, '09; and Pickard, '10.

may form a part of the Mandolin Club.
MAINE, 3 ; BOWDOIN, 2
Last Friday afternoon the University of Maine
turned the tables on Bowdoin's hockey team at
Orono, and won by a score of 3 to 2.
Bowdoin started the game off with a rush and at
the end of the first half the score stood 1-0 in her
favor. The second half found Maine playing faster
hockey and when the twenty minutes were over the
score was 1-1. In this half Hamberger was injured,
but Maine withdrew his opponent and the game con-
tinued with six men on a team.
An extra ten-minute half was played, but still no
score was made. Then two five-minute halves were
tried but to no avail. But in a third five-minute half
Dresser shot a pretty goal and things looked bright
for Bowdoin, but Lamb, the Maine forward, followed
with another goal, and Hosmer shot the winning
goal for Maine.

BOSTON ALUMNI MEETING
On Wednesday, February 27, the Bowdoin
Alumni Association of Boston met to celebrate
the one-hundredth anniversary of Longfel-
low's birth. It was the largest meeting the
association ever held, about a hundred and
fifty being present. The President of the asso-
ciation, Sylvester B. Carter, '66, presided.
President Hyde was to have . been present,
being kept away by ill health. In his stead
Dr. Gerrish of the Medical School spoke
briefly on "The College" and read a letter from
Miss Alice M. Longfellow, announcing the
gift of a Longfellow scholarship to the college
by herself and her sister in memory of their
father, the poet.
Professor Barrett Wendell of Harvard
spoke and paid high tribute to Longfellow,
whom he said was America's greatest poet.
He compared Longfellows position in this
country to that of Vergil in Rome, Dante in
Italy, Shakespeare in England, and Goethe in
Germany. Mr. Isaac Bassett Choate, '62, read
a poem, "Apollo's Guest," which was full of
quotations from Longfellow's poems and was
very well received. Hon. Orville Dewey
Baker, '68, gave a long and studied oration in
which he criticised some of Longfellow's
translations, but said he was an almost perfect
poet in his original poems. "My Lost Youth,"
he said, was so fine that it had never been
unfavorably criticised or parodied.
Professor Henry Leland Chapman, '66,
spoke on Longfellow's widespread influence.
His audience sat as if enchanted, hardly dar-
ing to breathe, lest they lose a word of what
he said. When he finished his hearers paused
a moment and then, when the spell of his
words was broken, burst into a tumult of
applause which lasted for minutes together.
Letters of regret were read from a number
of alumni who were unable to be present.
Charles P. Roberts, '45, one of the oldest
graduates, sent a letter which closed with a
beautiful and appropriate sentiment. When
a letter from Edward P. Mitchell, '71, was
read the whole body of graduates at once
struck up "Phi Chi." Many present remem-
bered when the writer came down from his
room in South Maine and read this song for
the first time, just as he had written it.
A notable feature of the meeting was the
large number of graduates of the Medical
School present. They gave Dr. Gerrish a fine
reception and after the banquet crowded
around him to renew their old friendship. The
following officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, Sylvester B. Carter, '66;
Vice-President, Dudley A. Sargent, '75, and
Edwin U. Curtis, '82; Secretary, Henry L.
Chapman, '91 ; Assistant Secretary, Ellis
Spear, Jr., '98.
The poem, written by Isaac Bassett Choate,
'62, which has been sent us by a well-known
alumnus, was as follows :
APOLLO'S GUEST
"Pindar to supper with the god !" was said,
And then was temple door shut for the night;
On food ambrosial they banqueted,
Apollo and his guest, till morning light,
And there was music sweet
To grace the meat
Beneath the laurel and the myrtle shade,
And there was discourse free
Of victory
Won by swift chariot on the Olympic stade.
Most fitting was it at the Delphic shrine
Apollo bid the singer to his board,
To share in hospitality the wine
In golden cups by hand of Hebe poured;
For that large meed of praise,
In nobler lays
Have, ever since, heroic deeds been told;
Of past still the name
Is linked with fame
Through grace of that high honor done of old.
Song, too, has won its guerdon meet of praise
As well as have brave deeds by valor wrought
When Song has helped to shape the Nation's ways,
Has served as true interpreter of thought;
And so the gifted bard
Has his reward,
Apollo's laurel wreath to shade his brow —
To honors of the lay
We chant to-day
O Pride of Bowdoin's heart, be welcome thou.
Still is the current of thy music strong,
Thy "Carillon," aye rippling ceaselessly,
Still lingers with us,— it will linger long
274
feOWDOlti ORIENf
As words are wedded unto melody.
In thy low notes are heard
The singing bird,
The wind above us in our "whispering pines,"
Or on the broken shore
With ocean's roar
Sound solemn dirges from thy flowing lines.
O Son of Bowdoin to that mother dear,
Dear to her other sons in common bond,
Apollo's favorite while singing here,
With Pindar honored in the world beyond,
Youth that was lost to thee
In poesy
Went as the sunrise kindles into flame,
How that thy years have rest,
Apollo's Guest,
Youth comes once more, — bright immortal Fame.
ciency and promptness is due the fact that
more of the dormitory did not fall prey to the
flames. It should also be mentioned that the
iron fire escape that was put up last year,
proved very useful for men to get down from
the top floor without going through the thick
smoke.
The men who are obliged to vacate their
rooms are being placed in vacant rooms in
other ends as fast as possible. As soon as the
matter of insurance can be settled the college
will begin work in putting the end in shape
for habitation again.
FIRE IN SOUTH MAINE
Th college was called out late Saturday
afternoon in response to an alarm of fire from
South Maine Hall. The largest part of the
fire was in room No. 8 occupied by John B.
Hanrahan, 10, and Allen Lander, '10. It is
supposed that the fire started in the closet of
this room, but from what cause is not known.
The room and closet were gutted by the
flames, and considerable damage was done by
fire in the room above occupied by Jasper S.
Stahl, '09, and Dudley Hovey, '09. The loss
in this room was, however, largely from water,
as was the case in nearly every other room in
the end. A large part of the plastering in sev-
eral rooms fell when wet, especially in the
rooms on the bottom floor.
It is estimated that the loss to the college
will be somewhere in the neighborhood of
$600, which is covered by insurance. The
inhabitants of the end, however, were not so
fortunate as there was no insurance on per-
sonal belongings. The greatest personal loss
was to Hanrahan and Lander, who lost every-
thing except the clothes they wore. Hanrahan
estimates his loss as $200 in clothes, books and
furniture while Lander thinks that $80 will
cover his loss. In room 12 directly above the
fire, Stahl had a fine library which was practi-
cally ruined by water and smoke ; he says that
he lost $200 worth of books and $25 worth of
clothing. Hovey estimates his loss in cloth-
ing and books as $50. Other men in the end
lost a number of minor articles.
A word should be said in recognition of the
fine work of the Brunswick fire department.
Ten minutes after the alarm sounded two
companies were on the spot and to their effi-
WELL=KNOWN BOWDOIN MEN
In last Saturday's Lewiston Journal
appeared portraits and short accounts, of
Bridgton Academy's famous alumni. Fore-
most of these were to be seen the names of
Commander Robert E. Peary, U. S. A. ; John
Albion Andrew, War Governor, and Hon.
Paris E. Gibson, U. S. Senator of Montana,
founder of Great Falls, Montana, and delegate
to the convention at which was framed the
constitution of the State of Montana. These
men are three of Bowdoin's well-known
alumni.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On February 28th, Mr. George W. Hinckley, who
is the founder and general supervisor of Good Will
Farm, spoke at the fourth of the public meetings in
Hubbard Hall. Mr. Hinckley's subject was "The
Ethical Aspects of Social Service." He said that
there are to-day a great number of opportunities for
the young man who is to earn a living, and it is
impossible for him to succeed. Mr. Hinckley when
a young man had realized that he was not a natural
money getter, and he had turned to something
else. He had turned to the service of boys who
needed his help, and who through his help would aid
in bettering and strengthening the nation. To-day
he would exchange his position in the hearts and
lives of his pupils for no other, and the handgrasp
of a grateful pupil is worth more to him than amount
of wealth.
There are many men who have spent their lives in
getting money, and having amassed a fortune, have
found no pleasure in the mere possession of it. This
has resulted in many of them turning to philan-
thropy, and the number of philanthropic institutions
in our country has increased so rapidly that it has
created a sudden demand for leaders to carry on the
good work. St> to-day that line of work which Mr.
Hinckley made for himself, is open and calling to
thousands. The men needed are young, well edu-
cated, and morally strong, and for such are waiting
salaries in proportion to their abilities, as well as
BOWDOIN ORIENT
275
the sure reward of gratitude that has meant so much
to Mr. Hinckley.
Last night it was planned to have Mr. Daggett,
Sec. of the Maine Y.M.C.A, speak in the Christian
Association rooms, and an account of the meeting
will appear in next week's Orient. On Thursday,
March 14, Judge Levi Turner, A.M., of Portland,
will speak in Hubbard Hall at seven o'clock on the
"Ethical Aspects of the Profession of Law." A
large number should take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to hear Judge Turner.

About Fire
Extinguishers
At the fire in South Maine
last Saturday several of
the fire extinguishers from
the different ends failed to work or, if they
were not entirely useless, at least did not have
much force. It is possible that a fire may
break out elsewhere in the dormitories, per-
haps during the night. It would be soon dis-
covered, doubtless, but how can it be stopped
if the fire-extinguisher won't work and the
students have to go down to the ground floor
for water? In this recent fire the whole thing
could have been held in check and perhaps put
out if there had been six good fire extinguish-
ers to be used. Think of the damage from
water this would have saved. Why shouldn't
the means of fire protection be inspected reg-
ularly and kept in good order?
The students will be pleased
Coming Speakers to learn of the speakers
who have been secured to
speak in the college church. All of the
speakers are men of marked ability and the
privilege of hearing them speak will be a rare
opportunity. The students owe many thanks
to Prof, and Mrs. Files, whose generosity has
made it possible to secure these men.
Owing to the fact that
The Next Issue there is but one more num-
ber of the Orient to
appear in this volume, the next issue will not
appear until two weeks from this date. The
paper has appeared regularly the past year,
and the result is that the required number is
completed at an earlier date than usual. The
collegiate year would easily allow 31 or 32
issues a year, instead of 30, but this had never
been done in the past, owing largely to the
expense, and the present board does not feel
in a position to depart from the usual custom.
An apology is due to the
A Correction Orient readers for the
many typographical errors
that occurred in the extract from Professor
Mitchell's Longfellow address printed in last
weeks issue. By the jugglery of the copy-
ist "counselor" became "councillor;" "Fel-
ton," "Fulton;" "tester," "mentor;" "rea-
soner," "romancer; "Holy Mother," "Holy
Motherhood;" "even drudgery," "over-drudg-
ery."
A criticism that may well
A Criticism be offered is on the con-
duct of certain students in
chapel. There seems to be a feeling among
just a few men whom we almost hesitate to
call by that title, that it is a distinction to
make themselves conspicuous by causing a
disturbance during the conduct of the chapel
exercises. It is a distinction, in truth, but of a
kind that few men will wish for. It is, of
course true that there are only a few men
who are guilty. These few, however, succeed
in disgusting the many and it is not too much
to say that if their action in this matter is a
criterion to estimate their general attitude
toward the college, that they are and never
will be a credit to it. A Bowdoin chapel
exercise is something that is forever associated
BOWDOIN ORIENT
277
with some of the noblest names in the history
of our State and nation and the man who is
so far forgetful of these things as to disturb
the exercises by noisy demonstrations is
unworthy of the privilege of attending the
exercises. Let these thigns be stopped. The
many should use their influence to suppress it.
Such conduct is unworthy of any student and
unworthy of the college.
LONGFELLOW MONUMENT
Under the leadership of Chief Justice Fuller
of the U. S. Supreme Court, president of the
Longfellow Memorial Association, a movement
has been started for the erection of a statue to
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in Washington.
President Roosevelt is honorary regent, and
a personal letter gives the project his hearty
approval. Among the other regents are Ex-
President Grover Cleveland, President Charles
W. Eliot of Harvard, Bishop Mackay-Smith of
Philadelphia, Gen. Adolphus W. Greeley, U.
S. A., Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, and Bishop Henry C. Potter of New
York.
The authorities have granted a site in Wash-
ington on the corner of Connecticut and Rhode
Island avenues, and have also voted an appro-
priation for the pedestal.
Individual subscriptions have been received
in sums from $1,000 to $10, amounting in all
to $10,000, but $15,000 more is needed.
The Executive Committee has asked the
well-known sculptor, William Couper, of New
York, to prepare model sketches, and it is
hoped to erect the statue during the centen-
nary year. Mr. Couper's latest work — a
heroic statue of Capt. John Smith, has just
been completed, and is to be erected in James-
town Harbor.
To aid in the collection of contributions
from Boston and vicinity, the following local
committee has been formed : Hon. Curtis Guild,
Jr., Chairman, Rt. Rev. William Lawrence,
LL.D., Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, Charles Eliot Norton, and
Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Lee, Hig-
ginson & Co. of Boston, have consented to
receive contributions, which should be sent to
the Longfellow Memorial Association in their
care.
WELL=KNOWN SPEAKERS COMING
Through the generosity of Prof, and Mrs. Files
Bowdoin students as well as the people of Bruns-
wick, will have an opportunity of hearing some of
the best speakers in the country during the remain-
der of the semester. The speakers and dates as at
present arranged are as follows :
March 13, Dr. Alexander McKenzie of Cam-
bridge, Mass. ; May 5, Dr. Lyman Abbott of New
York, Editor of The Outlook; May 19, Prof. Hugh
Black of New York, formerly of Edinburgh, Scot-
land ; June 9, W. W. Fenn of the Harvard Divinity
School.
Each of the speakers will preach in the College
church in the morning, the galleries and seats being
open for the students. The speakers will also speak
at chapel, but these will necessarily be brief and stu-
dents will wish to attend the services.
MEETING OF OXFORD COUNTY CLUB

BOWDOIN TRUSTEES
Judge Emery will not only succeed Chief
Justice Wiswell as the head of the court but
will also fill the place made vacant by his
death on the board of Bowdoin trustees. He
has long been a member of the board of over-
seers and it has become a tradition that the
Chief Justice of Maine shall be one of the
trustees of the college. Four of the past five
Chief Justices have been Bowdoin graduates.
The other, Chief Justice Peters, was a Yale
man but had an honorary degree from Bow-
doin and was a loyal friend of the college
which he served for many years as a trustee.
No college has a more eminent list of men on
its board of trustees than Bowdoin. Its mem-
bers, all graduates of the college, are now as
follows : Chief Justice Fuller, Gen. J. S. Cham-
berlain, Gen. O. O. Howard, Gen. T. H. Hub-
bard, Senator Frye, Judge Putnam, Gen. John
M. Brown, Rev. John S. Sewall, D.D., Rev. S.

ART BUILDING NOTES
On January 9 there was received from John
Leland Crosby, A.M., '53, a pin such as was worn
in his day by the members of the Peucinian Soci-
ety. The pin is oblong, has a gold border, and on
a field of black enamel a pine tree with Peucinia
over it, 1805 (the date of the society's foundation)
under it, and in the corners of the pin. the letters
P. L. S. H. standing for the society's motto,
"Pinus Loquentes Semper Habemus" (we always
have the whispering pines). This Peucinian Soci-
ety was founded at Bowdoin in 1805, and. with its
rival the Athenian Society, which was founded in
1808, played a very important part in the history
of the college from about 1820 to 1870. During
this time the societies grew to include nearly all the
•members of the college, had club rooms in one-half
of the lower floor of Maine Hall, and annually held
literary exercises, at which an oration was deliv-
ered and a poem read, the positions of orator and
poet being considered the greatest possible honor
280
BOWDOIN ORIENT
an undergraduate could attain. Besides rivalry in
their literary exercises, and in debates, they rivalled
each other in their libraries, so that after the socie-
ties had died out, and the libraries were merged
in the college library in 1880, each society was
found to own a valuable collection of nearly 5,000
volumes of current books and periodicals/-
There is at the Art Building this week a set of
reproductions of seventeen of the world's most
famous paintings. This collection will remain at
Bowdoin until March 25th.
Prof. Henry Tohnson gave the last of his series
of four Art Building Talks, Tuesday afternoon.

having taken part in the Seminole and other
campaigns. In the civil war he participated in
the battle of Bull Run and many other impor-
tant engagements. At Chancellorsville he lost
an arm. Gen. Howard considers his work as
Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau dur-
ing the reconstruction period quite on a par
with his military service in importance, and
in his autobiography he will take up in detail
his work in this connection.
Gen. Howard is already known as an

A great many will be shocked to hear of
the death of Henry A. Lermond of the Class
of 1905, which occurred Tuesday noon, after
a brief illness. Mr. Lermond had been
recently operated on for appendicitis and was
thought to be progressing favorably, when a
sudden relapse took place. He has been teach-
ing sciences at Thornton Academy, Saco. His
death will cause much sorrow to a great many
in college, particularly in the two upper

VOL. XXXVI
BRUNSWICK, MAINE, MARCH 29, 1907
NO. 30
THE FEBRUARY QUILL
The last issue of the Bowdoin Quill con-
sists largely of Longfellow and love. The
Longfellow portion is distinctly the more mer-
itorious. Prof. Sills writes of Longfellow's
professorship at Bowdoin with a gracefulness
that Longfellow himself would have com-
mended, and a reviewer cannot refrain from
pointing out the advantage of having as a
leading article in a literary periodical a piece
of writing that by its luminousness and dic-
tion will invite the undergraduate contributor
to measure up to its excellence. Prof. Sills'
style is limpid ; some other styles found in this
issue are limping. And lest its Stevensonian
quality had been overlooked, the reviewer
quotes one deliriously suggestive sentence :
"Longfellow's translations vary from the
excellence of the 'Song of the Silent Land,'
which is all poetry, to his great accomplish-
ment in the translation of the Divina Corn-
media, which is all fidelity." With such men
as Longfellow in his literary ancestry, why is
not the Bowdoin undergraduate leaving a
larger inheritance of literary tradition and
aspiration to his posterity?
"Poets" consists of two pellets of verse
manifestly alluding to the much be-centen-
nial-ed Singer of the Average Things. They
are good, though why it was necessary to
fence in sixteen and two-thirds per cent, of the
brief contribution with parentheses is a ques-
tion to be propounded ; and even when paren-
theses are used in verse-writing, ought they
not ordinarily to be dashes? It is too bad,
moreover, that the writer exchanged imagina-
tion for definition in the third line.
With "The Surcease" love has its first
inning, but fails to score very many literary
"runs." Surely if "she" is dead, there is
"cause for moan" as the third stanza asks.
The "darkness gray and brown" that environs
the "soul of midnight" is a darkness with
which the reviewer is not acquainted. And
the alarming unexpectedness with which the
last two lines of the poem congratulate the
love-lorn swain on the possibilities of "more
fish in the pool," thus suggesting an entirely
new and alien element into the situation,
reminds the reviewer of the statement made
not long ago by one of our French citizens : "I
can tell you how much dat house cost, exactly.
It cost one tousand, t'ree hundred, twenty-two
dollair, and feefty cent — an' more too, by gar!"
"Brother John" could well have spared its
split infinitive, "too spiritual to long endure,"
and it also exhibits a monotony of sentence-
formation. Its author has apparently not yet
learned the generous number of permutations
and combinations possible between subject,
predicate, object and modifiers. But essen-
tially it is a virilely conceived sketch setting
forth a worth-while literary subject. "I am so
young to live in Hell" is as fine a stroke as
anything in the magazine. Is the "worship of
the flesh" in this tale drawn from Fra Lippo
Lippi or Walt Whitman ?
The author of "Love" would have hard
work to do his composition into prose, the
reviewer opines. It. takes much clearer think-
ing to make prose than to make poetry. And
yet there is something surely here, behind the
words, — something big and glowing and
divine. But the writer is correct; we get it
only "by inference." The verse, interesting
and on its way to being good verse, reminds us
of those foggy days when there is a milky
thickness all around, and yet we know about
where the disc of the sun is shining ! Of course
the italics were not necessary. When Quill
poets are not suffering from parentheses, they
are likely to be afflicted with italics, it seems.
"The Bottle of Gray Sand" is the best con-
tribution in the number. It is simple, sincere,
dramatic. It moves and we move with it.
Hence one wishes that Mr. Stahl had not after
the fashion of the newspaper syndicate story-
writer, introduced at intervals sunset scenery
by the inch. When he begins to "gild domes"
etc., the writer's muse fails him. And why was
not the last sentence better done, when the
story as a whole was so well done?
With regard to "The Question," another
piece of parenthesized verse, the first question
is, What did the writer mean to say? Evi-
dently the slovenly proof-writing that disfig-
ures the whole issue — the reviewer searched
his Webster in vain for the "tow-peaks" men-
284
BOWDOIN ORIENT
tioned on page 2 — was particularly cruel to
"P. J. N." An exclamation point after the
seventh line, though, helps to the sense a bit,
and the sense is there. But here again the
writer "finishes weak." And even more cul-
pable is the bumpiness of the sentence in lines
four to seven, culpable because there is no
necessity of rhyme to be considered and the
other lines show the writer ought to do better.
It is not legitimate for even Browning to
frame a sentence that jerks alor>~ like a freight
train starting out of the yard. And yet he does
it, — and so do lesser poets.
The "Silhouettes" this month might be called
a "microscop-ette," it (or they) is (or are)
so brief, and fortunately the "microscop-ette"
is not on love but on the other theme. As a
final word, the reviewer hopes he will not be
considered severe if he hints that on the whole
the "Tracks" of the "Gray Goose" this month
did not lead anywhere especially. In the con-
duct of this Editorial Department it happens
occasionally that the sound of the grinding is
not low, but very, very audible. And yet the
ideal of "The Tracks" is a happy one. The
Quill Board may well pray for some collegiate
"Mr. Dooley" who can steep his criticism in
humor, and then serve up to us the events of
undergraduate life drenched in this attractive
dressing, somewhat, let us say, like a walnut
ice cream with hot fudge sauce!
In general, the prose and verse are of a
worthy order, hence worth this detailed
friendly criticism, — worth also having the con-
tributors' names appear in the table of con-
tents. The most successful undergraduate
contribution, significantly enough, was not on
love, of which subject undergraduates may
scarcely be supposed to have a knowledge deep
enough to make literature. And above all,
what Austin Dobson says of the poets needs
to be taken to heart also by the prose writer :
"Phcebus touched the trembling poet's ear
With one supreme commandment,
'Be thou clear !' "
HENRY ALFRED LERMOND, 1905
The death of Henry Alfred Lermond at
Portland March 4th came to his classmates
with a shock of pain. It was the end of a
career which showed great promise of achieve-
ment and substantial usefulness. At the time
of his death Lermond held the position of
Instructor in Sciences at Thornton Academy.
He was devoted to the study of educational
problems ; and his thorough training at normal
school and college, his accurate scholarship,
and his experience as a teacher had well fitted
him for efficient work in his profession. His
scholarship was of the type which is painstak-
ing, exact, and sound rather than brilliant and
erratic. In college his work was distinguished
by maturity of purpose and conscientiousness.
Whatever he did was done, — not half done, or
nine-tenths done, but done completely and on
time.
But "Pa," as everyone in the class learned
to call him, will be to us not so much the
earnest student and teacher as the friend. We
knew him as a thoughtful, reliable, helpful
fellow, never boisterous but always cheerful,
never asserting himself, but always to be
depended on at need. He stood for what is
best in college life, for work done with enthu-
siasm, for play that is not idleness, for high
and sane ideals, for openness, sincerity, manli-
ness. To the family who mourn our classmate
we give our heart-felt sympathy.

Sec. for the Class of I905.
INDOOR MEET
Last Friday evening was held the 21st
Annual Exhibition and 12th Annual Indoor
Meet. It was a success in every way, a large
crowd attended, the competition was close,
and the events were run off quickly and
smoothly, and in a manner reflecting great
credit on the management.
There were several features of special inter-
est. The first was the relay race between the
Bates Freshmen and the Bowdoin Freshmen.
The race was unusually exciting, the Bates
team getting a considerable lead which they
held until the last two relays, when the Bow-
dom team caught up, and won by less than a
yard. Another feature was the drill on the
Swedish horse in which the college men did
well, and in which the Brunswick Grammar
and Primary School boys, among whom a
young Ethiopian was prominent, drew much
applause. The third feature was the breaking
of the hall record in the pole-vault by Dem-
ing, '10, -who cleared the bar at 9 ft. 7 in.
The work of the squads was also excellent, the
decision for first place being an extremely dif-
ficult one, the judges even considering the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
285
advisability of calling it a tie between the
Freshmen and Sophomores.
The Class of 1909 won the Class Champion-
ship Cup and the Class of 1910 won the Prize
Drill Cup, each of which the classes will hold
for one year. The final score was 1909, 25 ;
1910, 23; 1908, 10; 1907, 9, and Specials 5.

the result of the Indoor Meet, since it is to be

The Orient takes pleas-
The New Board ure in announcing the elec-
tion of the following edi-
tors for the next volume of the paper : Editor-
in-Chief, A. L. Robinson; Assistant Editor-in-
Chief, H. H. Burton. The following new men
have been elected to the board : P. J. Newman,
from '09; T. Otis, W. E. Atwood, and W. E.
Robinson, from 1910.
Successful
Indoor Meet
The Indoor Meet of last
Friday evening proved one
of the most successful in
years. This was due to performances and to a
general sharp competition which kept interest
at a high pitch throughout. The men showed
determination and pluck and as was said by
those who have witnessed many of these
meets, it was one of the best ever held. It
offered every opportunity for the display of
spirit and for the entertainment of guests, both
of which are essential parts of our Indoor
Meets.
Several times lately, clip-
Mean Business pings have been taken
from the newspapers in
the reading-room in Hubbard Hall. That any
student should be so mean and selfish as to
mutilate these papers stamps him as unworthy
of the college whose name he bears. If this
thing continues the Orient hopes the guilty
party or parties will, if detected, be summa-
rily and severely dealt with.
Regarding The .0*IENT Printf, a con?-
Athletic Constitution mumca '°n "> another f.01"
umn relative to the wording
of one of the clauses in the constitution and
by-laws of the Athletic Council. So far as the
Orient can learn, the writer is entirely cor-
rect and the present reading of the clause
referred to is erroneous. As such it would
seem that it is the duty of those in charge
to see that the section is properly corrected.
These things may not always appear of para-
mount importance, but in the long run it is for
the interest of the college that such matters be
given careful attention.
With this issue the work of
In Conclusion editing the Orient passes
into new hands. It is with
mingled relief and regret that the present
board lays aside its tasks and turns them over
to their successors — relief from a task involv-
ing no small amount of work, and regret that
those tasks have not been done better. It has
been the purpose of the members of the board
to present the undergraduate and graduate
side of Bowdoin in the best possible manner.
That they have succeeded only in a limited
degree no one can feel more keenly than they.
Handicapped, as the editor must always be so
long as his editorial work does not excuse
from part of the regular college course,
together with whatever other limitations that
go with -the personal element, have contrib-
uted to make the task from the highest
success which might otherwise have been pos-
sible. Still, we may truthfully say we have
BOWDOIN ORIENT
287
tried. And if in the many hours of labor that
go to make up 30 issues of a college weekly
we have in any degree succeeded in voicing
fearlessly and fairly the things which should
have been voiced, then we shall feel amply
repaid.
A COMMUNICATION
To the Editor of the Orient:
Dear. Sir — In looking over to-day a copy of
the pamphlet recently issued by the Athletic
Council, containing the constitution and by-
laws of the Athletic Council and the constitu-
tion of the Athletic Association, I was aston-
ished to note the last paragraph on page 14,
which reads as follows :
"Managers of different departments of ath-
letics shall be allowed to wear the B of his
department on cap or hat only."
The present Athletic Constitution was
adopted in the fall of 1902 after a discussion
which had continued throughout the previous
spring. The provisions of that constitution
were all carefully discussed, but none more
carefully than those relating to the B's, as
appears from the discussion of the matter in
the Orient at the time. The clause as to man-
ager's insignia was originally proposed in
June, 1903 (Vol. 32, pp. 98-99) and adopted
in September and October (pp. 104, 112) to
read as follows:
"The managers shall be allowed to wear a
B cap with a small M underneath the B. The
managers shall be allowed to wear an athletic
coat with the insignia of the department."
The foregoing wording did not suit the Ath-
letic Council, and in accordance with its formal
recommendations of October 10, 1902 (pp.
120, 124) and December 13, 1902 (p. 190)
the following clause was by vote of the mass-
meeting of January 29, 1903 (p. 225) incor-
porated into Constitution :
"Athletic managers shall be allowed to wear
the B of their respective departments with
one straight line beneath it on cap or hat only."
Even this last-mentioned wording did not
suit the students as a whole, however, and
accordingly the Orient was led to make an
investigation into the customs of other insti-
tutions on the point, the result of which was
tabulated in an editorial in the Orient on
April 30, 1903 (vol. 33, p. 11). This tabula-
tion showed that a large proportion if not a
majority of Eastern Colleges and Universities
make no distinction between the insignia of
managers and of players. The discussion of
the subject by the college was renewed on the
basis of this information, and the concensus
came to be that Bowdoin should observe this
custom of many other colleges. At the ath-
letic mass-meeting on Tuesday, June 2, 1903,
therefore, on motion of Captain Andy Havey
of the baseball team, it was voted (page 61)
and unanimously, if I remember aright, that
the Constitution should be amended "that
managers be allowed to wear the B's of their
department without restrictive lines."
Such having been the history of the mat-
ter, I am naturally surprised at the wording of
the clause in the recently printed Constitution.
I can find no record in the Orient of any later
modification of the clause in the only way in
which the Constitution can be properly
amended, — i. e., by a vote at mass-meeting, —
and hence it seems to me that the Constitution
as printed must be in this respect both in form
ungrammatical and in substance inaccurate.
Perhaps in view of the vicissitudes through
which the clause has passed, clerical errors
are not inexcusable; but it is obvious that a
diligent effort should be made to correct them,
and to promulgate the Constitution in its
proper form.
Very truly yours,
Clement Robinson, 1903.
A FORMER BOWDOIN INSTRUCTOR
The following from a recent issue of the
Boston Sunday Herald, concerning a former
Bowdoin instructor, will be of interest to
Orient readers:
Brigadier-General Louis V. Caziarc, U. S.
A., who was retired recently after 44
years' service, is another son of Massachu-
setts to have a long and distinguished mili-
tary career to his credit. He was born in
Boston, July 4, 1844, and he has gone back
to the city of his birth with his family to
spend his years of well-earned rest. His last
day of active service was marked by the
presentation to him by the officers of Fort
Adams, where he was stationed as a colonel
of the artillery corps, of a handsome silver
loving cup. There were no speeches or for-
malities, the colonel being surprised by his
subordinate officers, who simply handed him
the loving cup as a testimonial of their
288
BOWDOIN ORIENT
esteem, each one giving informal expression
to his good will and esteem, Col. Caziarc
responding to each in the same informal man-
ner.
General Caziarc comes of distinguished lin-
eage. His father was for years an officer of
the French navy. Through his mother's
family, the noble Dutch-Huguenot hduse of
De Rochemont, he is descended from Jean
De Witt, grand pensioner of Holland.
General Caziarc was an Eliot schoolboy.
He enlisted when 18 years old as a sergeant
in the 38th Massachusetts volunteers, in 1862.
He served with the 38th in the Red River
campaign and siege of Port Hudson. He was
made second lieutenant in 1863, and first lieu-
tenant in 1864. He served as aide-de-camp
to Gen. George D. Andrews, formerly colonel
of the 2d Massachusetts Volunteers, and was
brevetted captain at the siege of Mobile.
He served as aide-de-camp to Gen. E. R.
D. Canby from 1865 till the latter's death,
eight years in all.
He entered the regular army in 1866, and
acted as adjutant-general for General Canby
during "Reconstruction" from 1867 to 1870,
and later in Oregon. He was four years mil-
itary professor and acting professor of inter-
national and constitutional law at Bowdoin,
From 1 88 1 to 1884 Gen Caziarc was exec-
utive officer of the signal and weather bureau,
and from 1887 to 1891 adjutant of the artil-
lery school at Fort Monroe. From 1891 to
1896 he served with the artillery, and this
was one of the first three batteries ordered
out in the war with Spain. In 1898 Gen.
Caziarc was again detailed for adjutant-gen-
eral's work, and served for three years in
Cuba on the staffs of Gens. Bates, Wilson,
Ludlow and Wood.
After two more years of staff service Gen.
Caziarc returned to the artillery, and has since
commanded the posts at Fort Preble, R. I.,
and Fort Wadsworth, N. Y., also the artillery
districts of Charleston, S. C, including Forts
Sumpter and Moultrie, and Narragansett,
R. I.
Gen. Caziarc's career has been unusually
varied and especially useful to his country.
He has been the fighter, readjuster, teacher
and administrator, and now, as he puts it him-
self, after all his wanderings he has returned
to make his home again in Boston. He and
his family are at the Marlboro, corner of
Marlboro Street and Massachusetts Avenue.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
On March 7 the regular weekly meeting of the
Christian Association was held in the Association
rooms and was addressed by Mr. Cecil Daggett, Sec-
retary of the Y. M. C. A., for the State of Maine.
Mr. Daggett took for his subject, "What the World
Expects of the College Man," and said that a college
man is expected to be a "man," to be one who appre-
ciates the full meaning of life, and to be a Christ-
ian. The Mandolin Club Quartet rendered excel-
lently two pieces as a special musical number.
On March 14, Judge Levi Turner, A.M., '86, of
Portland, spoke in Hubbard Hall, giving the last of
the series of talks on the "Ethical Aspects of the
Professions," his profession being that of the law.
About fifty students were present and the talk which
Judge Turner filled with stories, was much enjoyed
and loudly applauded. Judge Turner spoke of the
integrity of the men whom he met in the Cumber-
land bar, and said that he had found by experi-
ence one thing to be true of nearly all the lawyers
of his acquaintance ; that they are thoroughly honest,
that is, that they not only fulfill the letter of an
agreement but the spirit of it. He said that of course
as in all walks of life, there are some "sharpers" in
the profession of law, but these are exceedingly
scarce and are well guarded against by all other
members of the profession. It is, he said, the busi-
ness of a lawyer to protect the life, liberty, property,
and reputation of his fellow-citizens, and in so doing
he must do exactly what he considers just. He must
be willing not only to take a client's case, but to
refuse his client when in his judgment, the client
should not bring suit. He must find and defend the
truth, which is the fundamental purpose of all law
and litigation.
Aside from speaking of lawyers, Judge Turner
gave several practical suggestions to help any young
man in establishing himself as most young profes-
sional men at some time seek to do, on a good basis
in a new community. He should pay his bills. He
should live within his means, and avoid lending as
well as borrowing money. He should never use as
his own the money which he may hold in some
caoacity for another. He should seek to make friends
who shall have confidence in him, for they will be
worth more to him than any amount of wealth.
Finally, he must estimate things at what they are
really worth, he must use common sense.
Last Thursday evening, it was expected that P.
Kimball, '07, would lead the meeting, but he was
unable to be present, so President Allen took charge
as usual, and an informal discussion was held on
the subject which was to have been Mr. Kimball's,
"What College Men May Learn from Laboring
Men." After the regular meeting and after two
excellent solos by A. O. Pike, '07, a short business
meeting was held at which it was voted that the
President appoint a nominating committee of five
members, who should nominate wto members for
each office and post their nominations if possible
three days before the next meeting, which will be
the last.
At this lasf meeting, which will be held Friday,
Professor Chapman will address the students, and
the annual elections will be held.

College motes
H. V. Goodhue, ex-'o7, was on the campus for
several days last week.
The Freshmen out for Assistant Track Manager
are Hill, Ludwig, McGlone, W. E. Robinson, Russell,
Sanborn and Woodward.
J. B. Pendleton, '90, who is well known as an
intercollegiate football referee, was on the campus
for a day or two last week.
The club accept his resignation, and decided to
elect a manager who was not also a member of the
cast. D. T. C. Drummond, '09, was elected.
Frank Mikelsky's younger brother, who is now at
Hebron Academy, gave a remarkable exhibition of
gymanstic feats during the Football Gymansium hour
recently.
Next Friday the Musical Clubs appear in Port-
land. After the vacation a concert will be given in
Brunswick, and there is some talk of a trip to Mas-
sachusetts.
Arthur W. Hughes, '09, has left college, and will
not return until next fall. He is at present working
at Black River, Saint John's County, New Bruns-
wick.
At a meeting of the Dramatic Club held recently,
W. S. Linnell, '07, resigned his position as man-
ager of the club, since he had so many calls on his
time that it was impossible to do the position justice.
Owing to the fact that the Sportsman's Show is
going on in Boston during the Easter vacation, it
will be possible for students to purchase tickets to
Boston and return, good for the first ten days in
April for $4.85.
Definite arrangements have been made by the Sat-
urday Club of Brunswick to have Mr. Leland Pow-
ers speak in Memorial Hall on April 15. Mr. Pow-
ers will give a reading in English of the famous
French play, "Cyrano de Bergerac."
On March 7th a meeting of the proctors was held
in Banister Hall. Professor Foster acted as chair-
man. The discussion was mainly about the need
of shower baths in the ends. As the expense will be
small and the students are impressed with the idea,
it is hoped to have two showers installed in each end
during the summer vacation.
Professor Foster is intending to publish a pam-
phlet showing the average expenditures and incomes
of the students. For this purpose, blanks have been
secured, and their distribution and collection has
been placed in charge of member of the course in
Education. The main object is to show the various
means by which men are earning the whole or part
of their college expenses. The project is a most
worthy one, and as all information is strictly confi-
dential, it is hoped that the fellows will facilitate all
the work by promptly filling out and returning these
blanks.
Some of the undergraduates are showing their
good judgment as book collectors by securing copies
^ of the book by Longfellow issued by the College
Library on the one-hundredth anniversary of its
author's birth. It will always hold as the first book
written by the poet, though the last to be published,
a unique position among his writings. The edition
was so limited that only a score of copies remain
unsold though a month has not passed since it was
issued. Judging from the present auction prices of
other books written by Longfellow during his pro-
fessorship, this will double in value within the year.
The French and Italian grammars, much less inter-
esting books, now sell at over five dollars each.
THE FACULTY
Professor Sills was elected a member of the exec-
utive committee of the Maine branch of the New
England Classical Association, which was organized
at the Coburn Classical Institute, Waterville, on
March 8.
On March 19th, Professor Mitchell addressed the
students at Good Will Farm on "Longfellow, the
Children's Laureate."
REV. ALEXANDER McKENZIE
On March 17, Rev. Alexander McKenzie, the first
of the "Bowdoin College Preachers" whom Bowdoin
is to enjoy through the kindness of Professor and
Mrs. Files, spoke in the Church on the Hill, and at
Sunday chapel. Mr. McKenzie has for forty years
been the minister of the First Congregational Church
of Cambridge, Mass., has been connected with col-
lege students nearly all his life, and for the two years
following the Civil War served on the Bowdoin
Board of Trustees.
A large number of students attended church and
were well rewarded. Mr. McKenzie, with no notes,
delivered one of the finest sermons that has ever
been preached in Brunswick. He said that life is not
made worth while by a person's being good, the per-
son must also do good. We should think of life, not
of death, we will all die soon and surely enough ;
we are here to live and the more good we do, the
more valuable will be our lives. It was perhaps all
right for Longfellow at the fiftieth anniversary of
the graduation of his class to say, "Morituri Salu-
tamus," but we who are young, should cry for our
motto, "Victuri Salutamus," "We who are about to
live salute you."
In the afternoon, the chapel was crowded, and
Mr. McKenzie again rewarded the students who
came. He said that faith to him was one of the
greatest of man's moral relations. It seemed to him
one of the highest possible compliments to a man,
to leave him to his own devices and to feel cer-
tain that he will do his part to the very best of his
ability. It is a high honor to be trusted, and it is
a most contemptible shame to fail a person who has
placed his trust in you.
ANNUAL MEET MAY 18
At a meeting of the Maine Intercollegiate Athletic
Association held March 9th at the DeWitt Hotel,
Lewiston, the date of the annual field meet of the
Maine colleges was fixed for May 18th, with Colby

ager Voorhees represented Bowdoin at the meet-

LAST COLLEGE TEA
The last college tea of the season held on March
15th, was the most enjoyable and most largely
attended of the year. The receiving committee con-
sisted of Mrs. Wilmot B. Mitchell, Mrs. Allan John-
son, Mrs. Roswell C. McCrea and Mrs. William T.
Foster.
_ The punch tables were in charge of Mrs. Frank-
lin C. Robinson and Miss Chapman, the coffee table
in charge of Mrs. William DeW. Hyde, while Mrs.
Leslie A. Lee presided at the tea table. A large
number of young ladies of the vicinity assisted those
in charge of the tables.
The ushers from the various fraternities were:
Barton, '07 ; Upton, '07 ; Atwood, '09 ; Kingsley, '07 ;
Stetson, '09; Pike, '07; Roberts, '08; and D. S. Rob-
inson, '07.
There was an unusually large number of out-of-
town guests, principally from Lewiston, Auburn, and
Bath.
One of the features of the tea was the beautiful
decoration of the hall, the use of evergreen and
potted plants being most effective.
It must be added that great credit is due the faculty
ladies for the success of this tea, the last one of a
most successful series.
INTER-FRATERNITY COMMITTEE
On March 12, the Interfraternity Committee met
in 7 South Winthrop, to organize for the year. The
purpose of the committee is to arrange any interfra-
ternity matters, and it will furnish a direct means of
reaching nearly all the student body, in any case
where the whole college is concerned.
The committee elected as chairman, S. G. Haley,

EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER FROM THE OLDEST
LIVING GRADUATE TO PROF. LITTLE
I can send you few reminiscences of my college
life. The engrossing labors and events of the inter-
vening 60 years render the memories of those four
years more or less hazy. They were happy and help-
ful, however, and I shall never cease to be grateful
for them, and for the instructions and good influ-
ences of our excellent President Allen and our very
able and efficient Professors — Cleaveland, Upham,
Packard, Newman and Smyth — Longfellow also,
whose teaching of modern languages has been very
helpful to me in my work.
Your letter also revives the memory of my class-
mates— such as Andrews "the grand war governor,"
Barker, the eminent physician, and the noble
Hawaiian missionary : Field, a successful minister at
Bangor, and Fiske at Bath — down to Upham so long
my neighbor in New York, and Warren — ten years
older than many of us, and whom we dignified as
"Pater Omnium." It was a large class and a strong
one, and has done much to honor our Alma Mater
and benefit humanity.
As to the future welfare of the college no sug-
gestions occur to me as to its general interests; they
are, no doubt, in good hands. One thought, however,
presses upon me, springing from my position as far
advanced on the ocean voyage of life, fast nearing
the other shore, and supremely concerned as to the
reception that awaits me there. If any men, mak-
ing such an inquiry, can find peace in the belief that
their good deeds far exceed their ill deeds — even
though they may claim that they have been following
the example of Christ — I cannot. I must have some-
thing more than the "trembling hope" of Gray's
beautiful Elegy. ... I find repose only in a liv-
ing faith in Christ, first as my atoning Saviour from
sin and its fruits and then as my adored Leader in
living a Christ-like life. And I have no dearer aspir-
ation for Bowdoin than that every one of its gradu-
ates may possess, when leaving college, such a living
faith and lead the consequently noblest life.
Yours very truly,
Wm. W. Rand.
LECTURE BY PROFESSOR FILES
On Saturday evening, March 8, a large number
of townspeople and students gathered in Memorial
Hall to listen to a lecture by Professor Files on
"Rambles in Switzerland." The lecture was illus-
trated by stereopticon views and was especially inter-
esting from the fact that Professor Files has lately
returned from an extended visit in Switzerland and
other parts of Europe.
RECENT GIFTS TO THE LIBRARY
Two books for boys by C. A. Burleigh, editor of'
the Kennebec Journal, have been given to the
Library recently by their author. They are "The
Camp on Letter K" and "Raymond Benson at
Krampton."
Lucien Howe has presented the Library with a
copy of his book on the muscles of the eye.
Mr. Thomas B. Mosher of Portland has given the
Library twenty volumes of modern literature which

PEARY'S CLASS REUNION
[Kennebec Journal.]
Commander Peary will get a great welcome by
his classmates at Bowdoin when he joins them next
June at Brunswick to celebrate the 30th anniversary
of graduation. To be sure he will not have the
North Pole with him as a decoration for the ban-
quet board, but he will have the record of farthest
north and the reputation of as the most persistent
and successful Arctic explorer that the world has
known. He was on hand at the 20th anniversary
of graduation in 1897 and will be present next June
if he is in this country. The Class of 1877 is a dis-
tinguished and loyal one and will doubtless be prom-
inent in the annual contest for the big bronze and
gold loving cup which goes to the class having back
the largest proportion of its members. This cup
was won last June by '76, which had present 23
men out of 35 living, beating by one-tenth of one
per cent, the Class of '96 which had present 27 out
of 46. Among the best known of Peary's classmates
in '77 are Governor William T. Cobb, Charles W.
Morse, the New York millionaire ; Professor George
T. Little, the librarian of Bowdoin ; William G.
Beale, a leading Chicago lawyer who is the partner
of Robert T. Lincoln ; Hon. Frank H. Hargraves of
Buxton; Hon. Carroll W. Morrill of Portland; and
Curtis A. Perry, the Boston artist. The class had
43 graduates who are scattered in 15 states. One of
them, S. A. Gurdjian, is a native of Turkey and is
now a merchant in Constantinople. When the class
was back at Brunswick in 1897 for its 20th anniver-
sary it resurrected the "Anna '77," tombstone which
has been transplanted from its original place to the
terrace of one of the dormitories and carried it back
to a spot in the pines near the observatory. These
stones, appropriately marked, were placed in the old
days with many solemn rites and ceremonies over
the graves where each Sophomore Class in turn
buried its mathematical books — the word "Anna"
which was most prominent on the stone being an
abbreviation of "analytical geometry." The story
of the burial of these books forms a leading incident
in one of the Elijah Kellogg's stories.

DEBATE POSTPONED
Owing to the fact that the date of March 29 which
had been set for the Bowdoin-Syracuse debate, is
unsatisfactory to the latter, the date has been set

it is not yet definitely settled, it seems likely that
April 22 will be arranged.

ART BUILDING NOTES
The Art Building lias recently received a gift of a
considerable number of valuable coins from Miss V.
Manson of Bath, Maine. These coins have been put
on exhibition in the Boyd Gallery, and among those
of most interest may be mentioned: Some small
bronze classical coins from Pompeii, a coin issued
by Rome in 268 B.C., a Sicilian Drachma issued in 415
B.C., and several modern Asiatic silver coins. Miss
Wells also of Bath, has made the Art Building a val-
uable present of two other ancient coins.; Both are
Roman Consular coins that were issued in the first
century before Christ, one by the Renian Family and
the other by the Julian Family.
KAPPA SIGMA BANQUET
The thirteenth Annual Banquet of the Kappa
Sigma Fraternity was held at the Chapter House
last Saturday evening, and proved a most successful
and enjoyable event. E. A. Duddy, '07, acted as
toast-master and the toast list was as follows : Bow-
doin and Alpha Rho, C. R. Bennett, '07; The Old
Days, H. G. Farley, '03; Kappa Sigma Girls, C. P.
Robinson, '08; Our Chapter House, Dr. E. W. Files,

Haggett, '05.
INTERSCHOLASTIC BASEBALL
At a recent organization meeting of the Bowdoin
Interscholastic Baseball League, held in Banister
Hall, the following schools signified their intention
to become members : Edward Little, Lewiston High,
Gardiner High, Brunswick High, and Leavitt Insti-
tute. Portland High School was voted into the
League, the hesitancy being due to the fact that as
it was late in the season there might be difficulty in
arranging games with Portland. F. E. Sothard of
Lewiston High was elected President of the League,
and R. T. Smith of Edward Little was chosen Sec-
retary and Treasurer.
NEW SONG BOOK
The Orient has received from Hinds & Noble a
copy of a new song book which will bear comparison
with the best books yet published. The edition is
entitled "The Most Popular College Songs" and,
as the name implies, contains all the best known and
most popular college songs. The book is a valuable
addition to the collection of any college man.
HISTORY CLUB
DR. GRENFELL TO SPEAK HERE
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the missionary doctor of
Labrador, with whom Adams, '07, and Gould, '08,
spent a summer a year ago, will speak in the Church
on the Hill, Sunday morning, April 14. Dr. Gren-
fell is a college man who appeals to college men, and
his adventures are well worth hearing.
Hlumni personals
On Friday evening, March 8, the History Club
met with Hyde, '08, at the home of President Hyde.
The club was addressed by Dr. Louis Hatch, of Ban-
gor, and the evening proved both enjoyable and
