BOWDOIN ORILNT

VOL. XLII

BRUNSWICK, MAINE, APRIL 9, 1912

NO. 1

THE TRIANGULAR LEAGUE DEBATES

The three debates held on the evening of March
28 under the auspices of the Triangular League,
composed of Bowdoin, Wesleyan and New York
University, resulted in a double victory for Wes-
leyan. Defending the negative in Brunswick
they defeated the Bowdoin team, and upholding
the affirmative they defeated New York Univer-
sity at Middletown. New York University won
from Bowdoin at New York.

The question debated was :

"Resolved — That the United States should
adopt a uniform, compulsory workingmen's com-
pensation act applicable to industrial employ-
ments. Such an act

"1. Should extend to railroads and other pub-
lic service corporations.

"2. Should be adopted by both federal and
other governments for such employments as may
be within their respective jurisdictions.

"3. Should make the employer absolutely liable
for injury or death to the employe unless he estab-
lish the employe's contributory negligence.

''4. Should contain reasonable rates of com-
pensation which might vary in different locali-
tise."

BOWDOIN VS. WESLEYAN AT

MEMORIAL HALL, BRUNSWICK

The Wesleyan debaters in the order in which
they spoke were: William B. Cornish '14, Harold
R. Willoughby '15, and George L. Buck '12.
The Bowdoin team in speaking order was : Paul
H. Douglass '13, Elwyn C. Gage '14, and Fred
D. Wish, Jr. '13. The Wesleyan alternate was
William VV. Shepherd '12, and for Bowdoin,
James A. Norton '13.

The course of the argument was clear-cut and
the cases of both sides met squarely. The affirm-
ative contended that there were great evils in
the present system of Employer's Liability laws
and that the proposed law was a practical cure
for them. They also contended that no other
plan, such as state-insurance would be satisfac-
tory. In opposing this, the Wesleyan debaters
brought forward several objections, such as in-
adequacy and insufficiency of the plan, and pro-
posed the German system of compulsory insur-
ance. In rebuttal the argument turned upon the
validity of the objections to the plan, especially
its adequateness in meeting farming accidents.
In conclusion the Wesleyan speakers reiterated

their objections. The last speaker for Bowdoin
claimed that the alternative plan proposed by
Wesleyan could be included in the proposed sys-
tem and repeated his claim to the superiority of
the scheme proposed by his side. The decision
was two to one for the negative.

The Wesleyan team excelled in the form in
which they presented their material, especially
in the main argument. The Bowdoin debaters
seemed to have the advantage in their adaptabil-
ity in meeting their opponent's arguments, espe-
cially in rebuttal.

John A. Morrill, A.M., 76, of Auburn, presided)
and the judges were Associate Justice George E.
Bird, LL.D., of the Maine Supreme Court, Rev.
Raymond Calkins, D.D., of Portland, and Harold
M. Sewall, LL.B., of Bath.

BOWDOIN VS. NEW YORK

UNIVERSITY AT NEW YORK

The Bowdoin-New York University debate was
held in the Auditorium at University Heights,
New York, simultaneously with the other two
debates. The decision was given to New York
University, defending the affirmative, after a two
to one vote by the judges.

The debate was slow throughout, the teams
failing to clash strongly in their arguments.
There was evidence of learned speeches hut some
of the speakers failed to adapt them to the state
of the argument and rebuttal was too often mere
denial. There were times when the exercises
more resembled a speaking contest than a debate.

Bowdoin based her destructive argument on
contributory negligence, showing that under the
terms of the question the proposed system would
entail greater evils from contributory negligence
than the present systems in force in several states
and some branches of the federal government.
New York made no attempt to answer this argu-
ment directly. Bowdoin then proposed as a sub-
stitute for the system advanced by the affirmative
a system substantially like that in effect in the
state of Washington and providing for state in-
surance with fines for excess accidents. New
York made no direct refutation of this system
but in constructive argument urged strongly the
adoption of a plan similar to the English svstem,
providing for the -creation of courts of appeal to
consider each case arising as a case in equity.
Bowdoin urged against this the contention that
such courts would be bound in their decisions to

BOWDOIN ORIENT

the common law definition of contributory negli-
gence and hence an increase in litigation would
follow and most cases arising would not present
grounds for recovery.

The New York speakers excelled in the form
of presentation of their argument. The Bowdoin
trio showed to greatest advantage in the com-
pleteness with which they covered the case and
their facility in rebuttal.

The teams were composed as follows : For
New York University, supporting the affirmative,
Albert P. Lewin, Royal L. Neufeld, Raymond M.
Ryder and Abraham D. Kaplan, alternate ; for
Bowdoin, supporting the negative, Burleigh C.
Rodick, Merton W. Greene, Earle F. Maloney and
William R. Spinney, alternate.

The debate was presided over by Chancellor
Ellsworth Brown of New York University and
the judges were John E. Eustis, Esq., James J.
Shepherd, Esq., and Trumbull White, Esq., all of
New York.

A large number of Bowdoin alumni, living in
and around New York, attended the debate.

MUSICAL CLUB CONCERTS
Beginning with the concert in Brunswick on
Saturday, March 23, the Musical Clubs had a
"busy week. The home concert was given to a
large and appreciative audience and encores were
frequent. Awed by the impressiveness of the oc-
casion they saw fit to eliminate the specialties
•which were so successful on the trips, much to
the disappointment of those that were expecting
to hear them for the first time. Concerts were
given at Saco on Wednesday, March .27; at
Portsmouth, March 28; and at Reading, Mass.,
March 29, all of which were very successful. The
trip concluded by a final performance in Boston,
Saturday evening, March 30. A large number of
alumni and friends attended this concert and
Steinert Hall was filled to overflowing.

SENIORS WIN CUP

In the 17th Annual Indoor Meet and the 26th
annual exhibition of Bowdoin College, held on
the afternoon and evening of Friday, March 22,
the Senior class won with 39 points and secured
permanent possession of the trophy cup. This is
the third victory in this annual event for the class
of 1912 and it was especially fitting that at the
last Indoor Meet in the Town Hall, the trophy
which had been contended for for so many years
by rival Bowdoin classes should pass into perma-
nent possession of the graduating class.

1913 won second place with 23 points, 1915 se-
cured 22 points, and 1914 had to be content with
15. It was the general opinion that this year's

meet was one of the most exciting within the his-
tory of the present college generation, many of
the events being very closely contested.

In the afternoon several events were run off on
the board track. Results were as follows :

300-yard run — Won by J. McKenney, '13; Has-
kell, '13, second; Cole, '12, third. Time, 35 3-5
seconds.

780-yard run — Won by Emery, '13; Wilson,
'12, second; McWilliams, '15, third. Time, I
min., 53 3-5 sec.

One-mile run — Won by Hall, '13 ; Tarbox, '14,
second; Timberlake, '12, third. Time, 4 min.,
44 4-5 sec.

The indoor events, especially the dashes and
relay races, produced a lot of excitement and sev-
eral of them had to be run over in order to decide
the winner. The class drills were in the opinion
of many the best in years. 1914 won first place
in this contest and secured temporary possession
of the Drill Trophy Cup.

The highest individual point winner was Frank
Smith, '12, with 10 points, which entitles him to a
free "Mike-made" suit. McKenney, '12, and Cole,
'12, won 9 points each, and Faulkner, '15, won
6/2.

The results of the indoor events were as fol-
lows:

Class Relay Race, 1912 vs. 1914 — Won by 1912.
Time, 21 2-5 seconds.

Relay Race, Lewiston High vs. Edward Little
High — Won by Edward Little High. Time, 22 1-5
seconds.

Relay Race, Bates 1915 vs. Bowdoin 1915 —
Won by Bates. Time, 22 3-5 seconds.

Running High Jump — Won by Green, '13;
Houghton, '15, second; Faulkner, '15, and L.
Brown, '15, tied for third. Height, 5 feet, 5^4
inches.

Class Relay Race, 1913 vs. 1915 — Won by 1913.
Time, 21 1-5 seconds.

'15; Kern, '12, second; F. Smith, '12, third. Dis-
tance, 38 feet, 5 inches.

Relay Race, Brunswick High vs. Morse High
— Won by Brunswick High. Time, 22 seconds.

20- Yard Dash — Won by Cole, '12; McKenney,
'12, second; Faulkner, 15, third. Time, 2 4-5
seconds.

Pole Vault— F. Smith, '12, and P. Smith, '15,
tied for first place; Hubbard, '14, third. Height,
9 feet, 6 inches.

25-Yard Hurdles— Won by F. Smith, '12; Cole,
'12, second; Houghton, '15, third. Time, 41-5
seconds.

Class Relay Races, Final — Won by class 1912;
1913, second; 1914, third. Time in each race,

OUR NEW COACH
J. J. Conroy, Dartmouth 191 1, has been secured
by Capt. Means as tutor of this year's baseball
team. Conroy, or "Jimmie" as he is known on
the campus at Hanover, was shortstop on the
Dartmouth team for four years and received his
baseball training under Tom Cady, whose system
won a State Championship for Bowdoin last
spring. Like Jack Norton, last year's coach, Con-
roy was a star in the field and has the faculty of
instilling "ginger" into a team. He received his
preparatory training at Holy Cross Prep., where
he captained the baseball team. Aside from his
activity in baseball he was manager of his class
basketball team at Hanover. He is a member of
the Sphinx senior honor society, the Paleopitis, a
senior honorary organization, and the Chi Phi
fraternity. Since leaving college he has been en-
gaged as a private secretary in Boston. His home
is in Gardner, Mass.

BOWDOIN CROSSES BATS WITH BROWN

The Orient regrets that it cannot publish a
line-up for tomorrow's game with Brown, but
the impossibility of outdoor practice prevented
any sort of an accurate try-out of the abilities of
the various men. The outdoor practice and early
games will probably change considerably the per-
sonnel of the team, but for this week's trip the
line-up will probably be chosen from the follow-
ing:

LaCasce, Twaddle — catcher

Means, Dodge, Woodcock — pitchers

Brooks, Holt — 1st base

Keegan, Dole, Shepard — 2nd base

Weatherill, Cooley — shortstop

O'Neil — 3rd base

Russell— left field

Tilton, Allen — centre field

Grant, Skolfield — right field

Nine of these men have had experience on
Bowdoin teams previous to this year and three
were second string men last year. Coach Conroy
has been with the team since the middle of last
week and although he has not yet given out any
statement as to the prospects, he is already popu-
lar with the squad and the outlook is at present
marred only by the bad weather. After Thurs-
day's game with Rhode Island State the team will
return to Brunswick and get in shape for the
games of the following week.

The new ORIENT Board ap-
The New Orient proaches the task of publish-
ing the college newspaper
with the customary sensation of awe upon be-
holding the responsibility passed on to them by
the outgoing board. It is at the same time en-
couraged by the innovation which is brought
about with the appearance of this issue. The pa-
per which has for forty-one years been the work
of the Journal Printshop of Lewiston is now to
be made up at the Record Press, in Brunswick.
The change has not been made because of any
dissatisfaction with the old printers, but from the
belief that the nearby press will enable the
ORIENT to handle the news more quickly and
thus endeavor to render increased service to the
college.

To this end also, the new board has followed
the parting suggestion of the old, and has
changed the day of publication from Friday to
Tuesday. Under the new plan, the important col-
lege events which are usually held during the
latter part of the week may be reported three
days earlier than formerly. Among the minor
changes which may be noted are those of the
adoption of a uniform size of type, the new limi-
tations on the time of receiving copy, and the
resurrection of the calendar, these alterations be-

ing given in greater detail in another column.

Several new departments have been suggested,
and one of them, "The Campaign in the Colleges,"
makes its appearance in this number. Its pur-
pose is to give the readers of the ORIENT a
broad view of the political situation in different
parts of the country as well ats to chronicle some
of the novel campaigning methods put into prac-
tice in the college world. Although the Board
can make no definite announcement at present, it
hopes to establish other departments in the near
future.

With this foreword to the forty-second volume,
the new Board takes up its labors with the desire
to improve, through freely offered criticism, tx>
carry on the work of a publication well along
toward its fiftieth year, and to contribute a share
in the development of old Bowdoin.

Fickle, fickle Spring ! When
Anent Baseball college closed for vacation,.

everyone prophesied a dry
campus and glorious weather by the time the
chapel bell should again ring for recitations. But
prophecies are vain things, as has been proved:
after many a speech in Memorial Hall, and de-
spite the prayers and labors of Capt. Means and'
the baseball squad the team is obliged to leave on
its first trip without a day's outdoor practice. De-
spite the unkindness of Nature, however, the
team is determined to do its best and the college
will watch the returns of tomorrow's game with,
Brown with a great deal of interest.

But pink sheets, sporting goods displays, and.
soft breezes tell us that baseball weather will
soon be here. And we hope that it will mean an-
other successful baseball season for Bowdoin.
Not only to the first team do our hopes extend.
We trust that another inter-fraternity league will
be organized and that every man in college will
get out of doors into some kind of exercise. Play-
Ball !

In behalf of the whole col-
Professor Chapman lege, the ORIENT desires to

extend sincere congratula-
tions to Professor Chapman upon his reappear-
ance on the campus. In the long weeks following
his accident, the undergraduates have come to
realize more than ever the place that he holds in
the hearts of Bowdoin men. He has been missed
not alone by those to whom he gave an insight
into the beauties of literature, but by those also
who have known him only by his kindly smile
and word of greeting. To everyone his return
will be an occasion for rejoicing.

NOTICE TO COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS
Through the co-operation of the Orient and the
Press Club an effort is to be made to cover every
college event. It is requested that those in charge
of each college organization, whether sectional
club or what not, submit to Fred Wish, 31 No.
Winthrop, the dates of future meetings and
events. In this way both organizations and pub-
lications may be benefited. By consultation with
this Press Club Calendar it will be easier to
avoid conflicting dates.

CANDIDATES FOR ORIENT BOARD

Competition is now open for Sophomore mem-
ber of the Orient Board. All who wish to com-
pete will please hand their names to the managing
editor as soon as possible. Those who competed
for Freshmen members and were not successful
in being elected are eligible for this position.
Competition is open also for Assistant Business
Manager, members of the Freshman class being
eligible.

NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTORS

All communications and editorials should be
in the hands of the editor-in-chief by Thursday
evening of each week. All other material must
be handed to the managing editor by Friday even-
ing of each week. Special assignments may be
submitted later than these dates only by arrange-
ment with the managing editor.

Typewritten work is much easier to handle.
Headings are not necessary. Time is saved by a
careful writing of all material.

Material for the departments, "On the Cam-
pus," Intercollegiate Notes, Faculty Notes, Alum-
ni Department, etc., should be placed on separate
sheets. Special articles should each be placed on
separate sheets.

MASS MEETING

Two Junior members were elected to the Stu-
dent Council at a Mass Meeting held in Memorial
Hall, Monday evening, Mar. 25th. This change
in the membership of the Council was made in
order that the two Junior members may become
acquainted with the work of the old Council and
carry the benefit of their experience over to the
new one. Crosby '13 and Crowell '13 were
elected.

At the Mass Meeting Prof. Lunt submitted a
plan which it is inadvisable to publish in the
Orient at this time. The plan was taken up sec-
tion by section and passed the first reading unani-
mously until section four was reached. As had
been expected this section was held up for dis-
cussion. The speakers fell into two opposing
classes, those who advocated the passing of the

section at once and those who advocated the
passing of the rest of the plan with section four
left out until more mature thought could be given
it or a new section substituted.

Those who asked that it be held up for a time
argued that a better working section and one less
liable to result in infraction of the rules and the
ensuing confusion and ill-feeling should be
adopted to guard against the disturbance of pres-
ent satisfactory conditions. Those who asked
that the section be passed at once argued that the
section was workable because of the honorable
interpretation and obedience which Bowdoin men
would give it.

After a long and heated argument a motion to
lay on the table was carried by a vote of 59 to 51.
The meeting was then adjourned leaving two
more sections to pass the first reading and the
final plan to be voted upon as a whole. The mat-
ter will have to come up again at a future meet-
ing. At that time doubtless all the discussion
will center upon section four as it is evident that
the plan as a whole met with universal favor.

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE COLLEGES

The order of preference in a straw vote taken
at the University of Washington, Seattle, was as
follows: Roosevelt, LaFollette, Wilson, Charles
Edward Russell (Socialist), Taft, and the re-
mainder of the votes scattering.

Taft first, Roosevelt second, Wilson third, was
the result of the Presidential straw vote at Har-
vard.

The Socialist Clubs at Amherst and Brown are
taking an active part in the campaign in those
colleges.

'55. — In Cincinnati, on March 20th, an interest-
ing address was delivered by Rev. J. K. Greene,
D.D. The occasion was "The World in Cincin-
nati," an exposition held in that city for the pur-
pose of spreading information regarding the work
carried on by the missionary boards and societies
of all the Protestant churches. This address was
the feature of a scene in Turkey given in a
"Pageant of Darkness and Light."

'61. — Edward Stanwood, Litt.D., on March 19
delivered a lecture at the Hotel Vendome, Boston
on Current Events in which he treated mainly
"feminism," the movement in a social, political,
and material way for woman's broadest and larg-
est opportunities. Mr. Stanwood treated phases
of present day affairs in Germany, Great Britain,
and France.

'81. — Cara Dana, the daughter of Clinton L.
Baxter, was married to Mr. Louis Spring Runci-
man, on Wednesday, March 20, in Portland.

'98. — Donald B. MacMillan is planning with
George Borup, another member of the famous
Peary party, to make an expedition to Crocker
Land in the Arctic Ocean under the auspices of
the Museum of Natural History and the Ameri-
can Geographical Society. Admiral Peary
thought he saw this land thru his field glasses in
June, 1906, and from tidal observations its exis-
tence has been proved by Dr. Harris, tidal expert
of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

'04. — John Merrill Bridgham, now a professor
at the University of Wisconsin, recently won the
distinction of writing a waltz for use at "The
Prom," the big social event of the year at that
university. Prof. Bridgham's production was
chosen from twenty-four contributions submit-
ted.

'04. — Emil Hermes has been named by the trus-
tees of Westbrook Seminary to fill a vacancy in
the faculty. He will take charge at the beginning
of the spring term, as German instructor and ath-
letic coach. In both of these lines Mr. Hermes is
very' efficient. He is a native of Germany and
has specialized in German. While here, he played
on the football team, being considered one of the
strongest linemen on the eleven. He also did
some track work, his specialty being the weight
events.

'10. — Frank E. Kendrie, the well-known violin-
ist, participated on March 22nd in a recital given
in the Fogg Museum, Harvard. His playing
found an appreciative audience and also met

BOWDOIN ORILNT

VOL. XL11

BRUNSWICK, MAINE, APRIL 16, 1912

NO. 2

Campaign at 15otoDom

Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota, the
noted Insurgent leader in the Senate, addressed
the students in Memorial Hall, last Saturday eve-
ning under the auspices of the Bowdoin College
Republican Club. Leaving his work in Washing-
ton where he is in the midst of the Trust hearings
before the Senate Committee of which he is chair-
man, he consented to come down and speak upon
the history and policies of the progressive move-
ment with which he has been so closely connected.
The Orient would like to print a complete sum-
mary of the speech, but space will not permit. He
outlined the origin of the movement for more
popular government so prominent in Roosevelt's
platform, stating as its genesis the failure of
Beveridge to be returned as Senator from Indiana
when his opponents conceded that a popular elec-
tion would have resulted in his re-election. He
showed the conditions surrounding the formation
of our written government, at a time of abate-
ment of patriotism when there was a distrust of
the people and proceeded to outline the steps of
the people since then "to write back into the con-
stitution the word 'nation.' " Taking up the popu-
lar election of Senators, the initiative, referen-
dum, and recall he showed that they were not
revolutionary but merely attempts to make the
representatives serve the people rather than rule
them. In his account of the Arizona admission
he styled the compulsion of Congress to remove
the recall of judges from its constitution a stulti-
fication of the electorate. In closing he made a
very eloquent appeal for progressive principles
and stated that despite the efforts of their oppo-
nents they were bound to come in the end, for
they were in accordance with a law of nature.

Points in his speech which stood out promi-
nently were :

"'The time is coming when we will realize that
government is a moral problem, and then we will
not hold at arm's length from the ballot that
greatest of all moral forces, the womanhood of
America."

"People insist in believing that there is some-
thing divine in free government, but there is not,
except the divine right for freedom."

"The dollars spent by the corporations in in-
voking favorable legislation is insignificant com-
pared with the debauched citizenship they have
caused. I am advocating the initiative, referen-

dum, and recall not so much for their use by the
people permanently, as for a protection against
this debauchery."

"One of the greatest problems before the peo-
ple of this country is the making of their more
ignorant citizens able to vote."

"There was never a time when commercialism
was more in evidence than today ; but at the same
time there was never a time when there was more
altruism than there, is today."

"They call us agitators, but this world never
moves without agitation."

The Senator is a powerful and eloquent speaker
and uses forceful gestures to drive home his
points. He was introduced by President Spinney
of the Republican Club. On hearing of the re-
sult of Pennsylvania, Clapp said that the feeling
in Washington was that a Roosevelt victory in
that State meant his nomination at Chicago.

BROWN, 5; BOWDOIN, 4— APRIL 10

In a close and exciting game at Providence,
last Wednesday, Brown defeated Bowdoin 5 to 4.
The game was a pitcher's battle in which Captain
Means of Bowdoin carried off the honors. The
Brown team was able to gather but four hits from
his delivery and seven of the Providence players
were retired on strikes. Had it not been for
shaky support at critical moments, the White
would have pulled out a victory. Bowdoin had
the better of the game at the bat with six hits.
Keegan, the Freshman first sacker, had two
credited to him.

The strong game played by Bowdoin was re-
markable in consideration of the fact that the
team had had but two days of outdoor practice
before the trip.

Bowdoin played her second game of the season
with Rhode Island State College at Kingston,
R. I., and won handily, the final score being 5 to
1. Although the White team hit the ball hard
and often, the hits were so well scattered that
until the eighth inning, only one Bowdoin man
had crossed the plate. In the eighth, however,
Meyers was touched up for five hits, which, to-
gether with two errors and a stolen base, resulted
in four runs.

Dodge, the Bowdoin twirler, pitched a fine
game. But four men were able to solve his
curves, and thirteen of the Rhode Island colle-
gians struck out.

BOWDOIN FENCERS RECOGNIZED

Bowdoin was admitted to membership in the
Intercollegiate Fencing League, at a meeting of
the association held Thursday, April 4, at the
Hotel Astor, New York. The institutions repre-
sented were Harvard, Cornell, Pennsylvania,
West Point, Annapolis, and Columbia. Next year
the Bowdoin fencers will compete in the League
dual meets and the annual championship contest
at the Hotel Astor. Manager Pike has been try-
ing to obtain recognition for Bowdoin in this
branch of sport for the last two seasons and it is
due to his efforts, mainly, that admission was
secured in the League.

NEW FACULTY MEMBER

Since Professor Chapman has decided, at the
advice of his doctors, not to take up his work
again during the present academic year, Mr.
Robert Withington, A.M., has been secured to
take charge of his courses. After his graduation
from Harvard in 1906, Mr. Withington studied
for a year at the University of Lyons in France
and the year following was connected with the
Boston Transcript. For the past two years he
has been doing graduate work at Harvard and
has been assistant in English to Professor Barrett
Wendell. Mr. Withington is a brother of the
Harvard track captain.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

TRACK NEWS

The largest squad which has ever been out for
the track team has been practicing daily under
Coach Marsh and Captain Cole. The practice
has been held on the cinder paths around the
campus, but the track at Whittier Field has been
put in good condition and practice will be held
there for many of the events. Last Saturday, the
first of the weekly college meets was held. These
meets will begin at 2 130 P. M. every Saturday
and will consist of twelve events.

BRUNSWICK'S NEW THEATRE
It will be of interest to readers of the Orient
to know that the new theatre being built on Cum-
berland Street by a syndicate of business and pro-
fessional men of Brunswick will be completed
about the middle of May, at which time it will be
opened to the public. The building will be of
stucco, with an attractively finished interior. The
seating capacity of the auditorium will be about
four hundred and thirty, and that of the balcony
at the rear, about two hundred and twenty, mak-
ing a total seating capacity of about six hundred
and fifty. The comfort of the patrons of the
theatre is assured by the raised floor, absence of
posts and comfortable orchestra chairs.

There will be steam heat and a fine system of
ventilation by which the foul air will be carried
off through ventilators in the walls, connected
with a large ventilator in the roof.

Although the theatre is to be used principally
as a motion picture house, the large stage, thirty-
three by fifty feet, and the good sized dressing-
rooms will give ample facilities for presenting
first class plays. During the theatrical season ar-
rangements will be made with a New York book-
ing concern to furnish attractions of this kind
from time to time. Mr. Emery A. Crawford, who
has leased the theatre for five years, has had ex-
perience in this line and understands the tastes of
Brunswick people, having had charge of the Town
Hall for many years, and will endeavor to please
his patrons by giving them at all times first class
entertainments.

FRESHMMEN-SOPHOMORE DEBATE

The question for this year's Freshman-Sopho-
more Debate is as follows : —

Resolved, That the initiative and referendum
should be generally adopted by the American
States.

Trials for the teams will be held on Thursday,
April 18, at 3:30 P. M. in Memorial Hall.
Speeches for these trials will be limited to five
minutes. Some references have been placed in

the Classical Room of Hubbard Hall and further
material can be found by consulting Poole's In-
dex and the Reader's Guide. Prof. Mitchell will
confer with the Freshmen and Prof. Davis with
the Sophomores. Names of men intending to try
for either of these teams should be left with P. H.
Douglas '13 by this evening, April 16.

DR. SPEER, COLLEGE PREACHER

The fifth and last college preacher of the year
was Dr. Robert Elliott Speer of New York City.
Dr. Speer who is at present Secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, is well
known for his numerous books on religious sub-
jects and his popularity as a speaker at the va-
rious young men's conferences held under the
auspices of the Y. M. C. A. At the morning ser-
vice in the Church on the Hill his subject was
"The Appeal of Christian Service." He urged
eloquently the actual investment of a life for
Christ, emphasizing the eternal satisfaction of
such a choice, and the inadequacy and despair of
life centered only in material things. At the af-
ternoon Chapel service he spoke on the subject,
"The Realization and Accomplishment of a Life
Mission." He emphasized strongly the need of a
definite purpose and how this may be secured
through God. He then pointed out how this
"life commission" may be carried out with purity,
truth, and loyalty.

THE MARCH QUILL

The Quill for March, coming from the press in
its usual neat and attractive form, presents an
interesting table of contents. Each contribution
has good measure of merit which the reviewer
wishes briefly to mention. Taking the subjects
in order we open to the 'story — -'All Rivers Run
to the Sea.!' This tale as its title suggests is a
study in realistic fatalism, very well constructed
and excellently written. It seems perhaps dra-
matically unnecessary to involve the grim doctor
in the melancholy determinism which inexorably
bears the "hero" to ruin, but the story shows
power and moves to its logical end.

"A Paraphrase from Euripides" renders in
English rhyme the song of the chorus pleading
with Medea not to avenge herself upon her faith-
less husband, by the dreadful act of slaying her
own sons. The verse intimately interprets the
sense, giving in original form the substance of
the poet's thought.

In the essay — "Carlyle's Message : Insight
Plus Action," the writer clearly grasps the great
Scotch seer's central motive, and draws us deep

What slogan could be more
Fight, Fight, Fight! appropriate for the impend-
ing track campaign and the
final battle between the four Maine colleges
three weeks from next Saturday than the one
which made its appearance in the strenuous days
of the football season last fall ! It was the cheer
that helped the team more than anything else,
and it is the watchword that every undergraduate
needs to sear into his mind now. The track men
are practicing faithfully and with a determination
which stamps them as worthy of the most loyal
support that Bowdoin can give. Loyalty can be
manifested in various ways, from being generous
to the man with the subscription book, to being
present on the field at practice time to give every
man the encouragement he needs. The trial
meets which are to be held each Saturday call for
such support. Let the track men see that the col-
lege is with them heart and soul, that the college
expects them to fight to the last ditch and will be
content With nothing less. And then may there
be inspired in the team a generous measure of the
Bowdoin spirit that has won so many hard-fought
battles in the past, may it be given the power to
uphold the record that the track team has never
suffered defeat on Whittier Field.

To complete the courses in
The New Instructor English Literature which
Professor Chapman's accident
has made it unwise for him
to continue, the college has been fortunate in se-
curing Mr. Robert Withington, a graduate stu-
dent of Harvard University. Mr. Withington
has before him one of the hardest tasks imagina-
ble, but he has the satisfaction of knowing that
the undergraduates believe th?t he can accom-
plish this task. In the few days that he has been
on the campus, his genial personality has inspired
the confidence and respect of the college. The
Orient takes pleasure in voicing this confidence
and in welcoming him to Bowdoin.

Success to Eowdoin

Undergraduates who have

heard of the work being done
Bureau by The Bowdoin Bureau of

Boston rejoice in knowing that it is one of the
livest organizations connected with the college.
"We work for Bowdoin and for Bowdoin men" is
its motto. The Bureau desires to do all in its
power for the college and hopes to receive what-
ever aid is possible from the undergraduates.
The Orient takes this opportunity to assure the
Bureau that the college appreciates the service
which it is giving to Bowdoin. In every way the
college stands ready to support it.

in „ -4 When the Republican Club

An Opportunity , t ,, . , ,, ,

" J secured one of Maine s ablest

missed representatives in the Na-

tional Legislature to speak before the college
some weeks ago they were somewhat surprised
that there was such a small attendance. But they
explained it as best they could by bad weather
conditions and insufficient advertising. Through
great good fortune they were able to secure as
their second speaker the ablest orator and expo-
nent of the large and growing branch of the Re-
publican party which is of such importance in the
present campaign, Moses E. Clapp, the Insurgent
Senator from Minnesota. Imagine their sur-
prise and disappointment, therefore, at finding the
hall only about two-thirds full for the occasion.
Now it is not for the Orient to dictate the de-
sires of the student body or faculty. If the whole
number prefer to stay away from such a meeting
it is none of its vital concern, as a college organ.
But it does feel that such a showing as that of
Saturday night is a good indication that the in-
terest of this student body in the questions of the
nation and affairs outside of our own local circle
is mostly a minus quantity. Senator Clapp is a
partisan and represents, moreover, only a wing of
a party, but surely his lecture Saturday evening

BOWDOIN ORIENT

was of vital interest to every man in College who
intends to become a voter. A self-educated man,
a "son of the soil," a breezy, open-hearted Wes-
terner, he represents the highest type of that new
order of political leaders of the Middle West who
are playing such a large part in the affairs of
Congress. With Dolliver, Beveridge, and La-
Follette he founded the insurgent movement and
as chairman of the inter-state commerce commit-
tee in the Senate is recognized as their sanest
leader. His subject was the "Movement for
Popular Government" and his exposition of the
progressive principles was in the opinion of the
Orient, the clearest, most logical, and eloquent
ever delivered in the State of Maine, not except-
ing the Roosevelt speech in Portland a few weeks
ago. His sincerity, wit, logic and brilliance won
the hearts of the audience and again and again
they broke into applause. We wish to thank the
Republican Club in the name of the students for
giving us the opportunity to get a new light and
clearer insight into the problems of the campaign
and an acquaintance with a political leader of the
West. We only regret that the miserable sup-
port of the students necessitates their having to
cancel all engagements for further speakers this
year out of courtesy to the speakers.

into the heart of the realities for which Carlyle
forever stands inspiring spokesman. "Insight
Plus Action" distinctly describes the prophet's
message.

"The Censer," a miniature drama of one scene
and three actors moves rapidly through a mysti-
cal world of a mystic Monk, out of which for the
Cavalier man of action, emerges a returning ma-
terial reality. Without incisive significance, per-
haps with the intention of suggesting the vague
and haunting elements of life and death, the lit-
tle drama gives artistic expression to a mood
which comes and goes with us all.

The editorial deals with an interesting phase
of college life at Williams — that is, the declared
dissatisfaction of the students there with the
hampering prescriptions of the curriculum and
the lack of a developed elective system. By con-
trast, the editorial views with appreciation the
large liberty which Bowdoin students enjoy in
planning their courses to suit their individual
needs or desires. It may be said, however, that
in the large view, the best system is yet to come,
and in the not uncommon abuse of the elective
privilege, the Williams administration may find
no little justification for its more conservative
course.

"Ye Postman," or exchange editor remarks a
decided falling off in the previous month's issues
of the college magazines. Doubtless the Postman
writes advisedly. All college student publications
have their ups and downs of literary quality, but
it pleases the Orient reviewer of the March
Quill to congratulate its editors upon a very
creditable number.

Nice day aint it ?

The Track team has been "on the campus" the
past week.

Black caps are in style again this spring. No
Freshmen should be without one.

The Brunswick Record mentions Prof. Files as
one of the possibilities for Senator from Cum-

With the opening of the college baseball season
there is being published considerable comment
and criticism of the national game as it is played
in college. Capt. Palmer E. Pierce, U.S.A.,
President of the National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation, came out recently in a speech at the U.
of Kansas deploring professionalism in college

BOWDOIN ORIENT

baseball, and saying that although summer base-
ball is all right for college men it should debar
him from amateur baseball. Dean Briggs has
this to say about the situation: "If it is the duty
of patriotic students to make all the noise they
can while the visiting pitcher is facing their rep-
resentatives ; if it is the duty of the catcher to
steady the pitcher by remarks that unsteady the
batsmen ; if baseball must deteriorate into vocal
competition on the part of the players or into
efforts to rattle the opponents, the sooner we
have done with the game the better."

After a space of six months in which no col-
lege paper has been published at Tufts, a news
journal is now to be issued weekly by the junior
class.

By a majority of 500 votes the men of Leland
Stanford University recently voted to adopt a
system of self-government. The system of rep-
resentation is based somewhat upon that of the
congressional districts in the United States and is
centralized finally in a committee of five.

The Glee Club of the University of Washing-
ton has as its chief tenor soloist, William Lai, a
Chinese student. The Oriental soloist is creating
a sensation on the club's trips.

The Colby baseball schedule follows :

April 19 — U. of Maine at Waterville.

April 24 — Mass. Agricultural College at Am-
herst.

pion '06 team.

An order has been issued at Yale requiring all
undergraduates after next year to room on the
campus.

Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Univer-
sity of Virginia and Williams will enter contes-
tants in the Intercollegiate Balloon Race to be
held about July 1.

A Student Council will probably be formed at
Colby as a result cc the efforts of the Senior
Class.

Campaign in t&e Colleges

In response to a call to announce where it
stands in the matter of national politics, The Re-
serve Weekly of Western Reserve University has
come out with the following "progressive" plat-
form:

Public Ownership — College to own, maintain,
and operate the theaters of Cleveland at cost.

Initiative, Referendum, and Recall — Applied to
all faculty members under rank of full professor-
ship.

Labor Reform — No recitation before 9 A. M. ;
appointment of commission to investigate evils of
afternoon "labs."

Publicity — All faculty meetings to be open to
the general public.

Anti-Privilege — Extension of chapel attendance
rule to apply to faculty.

Universal Suffrage — Nuff sed.

Popular Election — Of all college monitors.

Tariff Revision — Reducing tariff on such neces-
sities as "E's" and "G's", and a 50 per cent, re-
duction in the charge of make-up exams.

As a result of a straw ballot which was taken
among the members of the faculty and the under-
graduates at Wesleyan University, Taft tri-
umphed over Roosevelt, 134 to 91. Governor Wil-
son, who was at one time a professor at Wes-
leyan, was the leading Democratic candidate,
having 38 first choice and 60 second choice votes,
thus securing third place. Jack Johnson received
one vote.

"Must Republicans and Democrats at Williams
give first place to the Socialists?" asks the Wil-
liams Record editorially in an appeal to the un-
dergraduates to form other political clubs.

A Mock Convention is to be held at St. Law-
rence University soon. There will be street pa-
rades by the so-called delegates; platforms for
each party, including the Suffragists; and nomi-
nating speeches for the various candidates.

In a recent debate against the Freshmen, the
Amherst Sophomores proved to the satisfaction
of the judges that Taft would win. The question
— Resolved : That it would be for the best interest
of the country to re-elect William H. Taft Pres-
ident of the United States. The Sophs proved
that Roosevelt, LaFollette, and the Democrats
didn't have a show.

Senator LaFoUette was chosen as the presiden-
tial nominee of the Republican party on the
fourth ballot of a class in Political Science at
Western Reserve University. The first three
ballots showed Roosevelt in the lead, with Taft
and LaFollette practically tied. On the fourth
ballot the supporters of the President went over
to LaFollette.

ly bound memorial of Dr. E. A. Thompson. This
memorial was the gift of Mr. Frank E. Guernsey

'56.— Dr. Edwin P. Parker, D.D., has severed
his connection with the South Congregational
Church of Hartford, Conn., after being its pas-
tor for fifty-two years. On March 31st he de-
livered his valedictory sermon at that church, the
occasion being most impressive. Dr. Parker has
been most successful in this church and it was
with great regret that it had to give him up. An
especial mark of honor for this loyal Son of Bow-
doin was a letter from the Center Church of that
place in which it expressed its appreciation of Dr.
Parker's work and its sympathy with the South
Church at its loss.

>69 _Dr. Albert Woodside of Rockland died on
Saturday afternoon, April 6th. Dr. Woodside
was born in Wales, Androscoggin County, July
12, 1847, a son of Calvin and Emily (Whittum)
Woodside. He fitted for college at Edward Lit-
tle High School in Auburn and graduated from
Bowdoin in 1869. He then went to Illinois where
he taught school for one year. Upon his return
to Maine he was elected principal of Monmouth
Academy, which position he filled for one year.

He studied medicine with Dr. Alonzo Garcelon,
afterwards Governor of Maine, and with Dr. E.
H. Hill of Lewiston. Graduating from Bowdoin
Medical School in 1874, he commenced practice
at Tenant's Harbor. Here he remained until
189 1, endearing himself to everybody in that and
the adjoining towns, and then moved to Rockland
where he continued his practice in medicine un-
til the close of last year. He was member of the
American Academy of Medicine and of the Maine
Medical Association. He had the reputation of
being one of the greatest students in his profes-
sion and his articles in the various medical jour-
nals attracted widespread attention.

He served 15 years as supervisor of schools in
St. George and was subsequently a member of
the School Board in Rockland. He was a Repub-
lican and had a deep interest in the welfare of the
state and country.

Dr. Woodside was married June 23, 1875, to
Alice Skolfield Hunt and is survived by his wife
and two children, Mary A. and Josephine A.
Woodside.

'82.— The many friends of Dr. Warren O.
Plimpton of New York City will regret to learn
of the recent failure of his health, so serious as to
cause the temporary abandonment of his exten-
sive practice.

'91. — Once again a Bowdoin man has stepped
into the gap and provided a booklet which will
be most useful to all people interested in the
present political situation. We refer to the ex-
planation of our new election laws prepared by
Lewis A. Burleigh of Augusta. The work is en-
titled "An Analysis and Interpretation of the
Primary Election Law, Corrupt Practices Act,
and Federal Election Law." It is most compre-
hensive and up-to-date as it also includes a copy
of the new Ballot Law passed on March 23rd.
The work shows a very careful analysis of the
situation and will prove of interest to all Bowdoin
undergraduates or alumni who are interested in
the political matters of our state and country.

'07. — This Class is making arrangements for a
large attendance at the next Commencement
which will be that of its first reunion.

BOWDOIN, 5; EXETER, 9— APRIL 20

Exeter defeated Bowdoin last Saturday after-
noon at Exeter, by a score of g to 5. For four in-
nings the game was close, but in the fifth a bunch-
ing of hits netted the New Hampshire team four
runs, a lead which the White was unable to over-
come. Aside from this inning the game was closer
than the score indicates. Lack of teamwork was
noticeable in the play of the collegians. Several
errors of omission, together with poor coaching
on the bases were mainly responsible for the de-
feat. Woodcock worked in his first game of the
season and was rather wild. The one redeeming
feature of Bowdoin's play was the work of Capt.
Means at the bat. Lee began his active batting-
career with the Bates games last season and is
now proving to everyone those long drives were
not accidents. Out of four times at bat he regis-
tered a single, a double, a triple, and a base on
balls. Skolfield at short field pulled off the field-
ing feature of the game when he captured a siz-
zling liner from Fripp's bat.

NON FRATERNITY CLUB HOUSE IN SIGHT

The joint committee of non-fraternity men and
Faculty, consisting of Professor Nixon and Mr.
Wilder of the Faculty and Bryant, Hubbard and
Andrews of the non-fraternity men, recommend-
ed to the Faculty at its meeting on Monday,
April 15, a rough outline of a plan of organization
to be put in effect among the non-fraternity men.
This plan provides for a house in which some of
the men shall have their rooms and at which all
who become members of the society shall board.
Four dollars per week is the rate to be charged
for board, and a steward elected by the club from
candidates nominated by the Faculty shall have
charge of this eating club. An annual fee of ten
dollars is to be paid by all members of the society.
It is expected that the income from this fee and
the money obtained from the rental of rooms to-
gether with whatever profit can be made by the
eating club will suffice to pay the rental to the
college, expenses of operation, and the interest on
the money which the college advances for furni-
ture. A house committee of three is to be ap-
pointed to have general supervision of matters
pertaining to the club and together with a faculty
committee is to make all arrangements with the
college. The signatures of twenty men from the
three lower classes, who are willing to co-operate
to form such a society, were secured and turned
over to the Faculty.

President Hyde has announced that in response
to this request the Finance Committee has of-
fered, and the Faculty has accepted, one of the
college houses to be used for a society house. All
the non-fraternity men in college will be invited
to join this society; but membership in it will not
prevent a man from joining a fraternity.

The Trustees and Overseers will be asked to
furnish this house and rent it to the society on
such terms as will place an attractive home with-
in the reach of every student in the college
whether he be rich or poor, and give to those who
do not for any reason join any fraternity the
same advantages that the chapter houses do to
those who do join the fraternities.

CLASS DEBATE RESULTS

Trials for the Freshman-Sophomore debate
were held in Memorial Hall last Thursday after-
noon. From the nine Freshmen competing the
following team was chosen : G. W. Bacon, F. P.

McKenney, R. P. Coffin, and as alternate, J. Ru-
bin. Owing to the small number of Sophomores
competing Thursday, additional trials were held
Saturday afternoon. The following team was
chosen from the seven contestants : A. E. Gray,
E. H. Snow, J. Schwey, and R. E. Bodurtha, al-
ternate. The final debate will be held May 14, in
Hubbard Hall.

THE TENNIS SEASON— CHANCE FOR ALL

As the tennis season is approaching and the
courts will soon be in shape, the tennis manage-
ment wishes to make the following announce-
ment :

The College Annual Spring Tournament will
take place as soon as the courts are ready. Cups
will be awarded to the winner and runner-up. In
addition to this, in order to make the competition
more keen among the "unheralded and unsung"
players there will be a consolation tournament for
those defeated in the first two rounds and winner
and runner-up will also receive cups. The tour-
nament is for a two-fold purpose : First, to get a
line on team material, and second, to afford a
chance for the average player to receive recogni-
tion, and in this way encourage the sport as one
for the whole student body rather than for the
sake of developing a team of four experts. As
cups are to be awarded an entrance fee of twenty-
five cents per man will be charged. Men plan-
ning to enter the tournament are urged to submit
their names to Manager Cummings as soon as
possible.

The tennis schedule follows :

Maine Intercollegiate Tournament at Orono,
May 23, 24, 25.

New Eng. Int. Tournament at Longwood, May
27, 28, 29.

Portland Country Club Tournament at Port-
land, May 30.

Bowdoin Intercollegiate Tournament at Bruns-
wick, May 31.

With the track meet on Whit-
Fight, Fight, Fight! tier Field looming up only
two weeks from next Satur-
day, that cheer should be redoubled and it should
be put into practice with the last bit of strength
the college has. Coach Marsh is pleased that the
track squad is large. But he wishes to see
every man come out every day. To bring out the
full value of the practice meets, there must be the
keenest kind of competition. The only way to
secure that kind of competition is for every man
on the squad to work six days a week. Let the
men who are not on the squad be on the field in a
body at practice hours every day and especially
at all the practice meets, for their presence is a
mighty force in putting the spirit into the team.
Fight, then, every man, and remember that Bow-
doin has never lost a track meet on VVhittier
Field.

province of the Quill. But is it thought that the
Orient may best give its readers the news of the
college world by means of two separate depart-
ments : the Intercollegiate Notes and The Library
Table. The former aims to present the happen-
ings in many colleges by means of brief notes.
The new department will not be concerned with
questions solely of literary merit, and will thus
not parallel the exchange department of the
Quill. It will, however, attempt by means of
longer articles of comment to bring before Bow-
doin men such problems in college administration
and collesre life as will be of interest.

In this number there appears
The Library Table the first article in a new de-
partment, The Library Table,

necessary upon establishing a department which

The appalling calamity which
Richard Frazer White befell thirteen hundred pas-
sengers on the largest ocean
liner in the world last week was brought home to
Bowdoin students with terrible reality from the
circumstance that a Bowdoin undergraduate was
numbered among the lost. Richard Frazer White,
or "Dick," as he was known on the campus, was
in every sense a true Bowdoin man, and his
death will be mourned by the entire college com-
munity. During his three and a half years'
course, he proved his ability by winning election
to Phi Beta Kappa at the close of his Junior year
and by his membership on the editorial board of
the Quill, also secured in his Junior year. He
was a member of the Sophomore Squad. By rea-
son of his brilliant and conscientious work, he
was enabled to complete the courses required for
graduation at the close of the first semester in
February, and through the half year's vacation
brought about by the completion of these courses,
he was led to enter upon the fateful voyage of the
Titanic. The Orient joins the whole community
in lamenting the early death of a brilliant stu-
dent, a popular and loyal undergraduate, and a
true son of Bowdoin.

A COMMUNICATION

To the Editor of the Orient :

The Bowdoin Musical Clubs have just closed
one of the most successful seasons in their his-
tory:— the Clubs have been well above the aver-
age of college musical organizations, they have
been composed of men who have been a credit to
Bowdoin, and through the efforts of the manager
they have finished the season free from debt and
with a credit balance for next year. The mem-
bers of the Clubs surely have a right to be proud
of this record.

But it is not the purpose of this letter to praise
the Clubs in the season just past, but to call at-
tention to the prospects for another year. By
graduation this June the organization will be hard

BOWDOIN ORIENT

hit. The Glee Club will lose eight of its eighteen
members. On the Mandolin Club there will be
left at least five vacancies. And, of even greater
importance, the Clubs will lose their reader and
cornet soloist. That it will be hard to fill the
places thus made vacant it is needless to empha-
size. They can be filled and filled well only
through hard work by new men.

The fact that the Clubs were successful finan-
cially this year has encouraged the hope that an-
other year perhaps a longer trip may be taken
during the Christmas or Easter vacation. While
such a trip. is at present only projected, there is a
reasonable chance that it may materialize. But
before it is even seriously thought of, one thing
must be assured, — namely, that the Bowdoin
Clubs next year are as good as and even better
than those this season. It is useless to talk of
trips without strong organizations to back them.

It has already been shown that there is a good
chance for — or rather, a great need of — new ma-
terial and new men for the clubs next winter.
The members of the organization this season
unite in urging every student who has the least
ability in musical lines or as a reader to begin now
to work with this idea in view, — to make the sea-
son of 1913 an even greater success than the one
just past.

Very truly yours,
LAURENCE A. CROSBY,

Manager 1913 Musical Clubs.

BOWDOIN SPIRIT AND THE TRACK TEAM

A Letter to the Undergraduates
At every mass meeting and rally ,we hear a
great deal said about Bowdoin spirit. We pride
ourselves on our college spirit, think of it as
something peculiarly our own, and seem to think
that it is all-sufficient, that the mere possession of
it will bring any victory that we wish. Possibly
this has been so in the past, but is it a fact today?
Let us examine the track situation. Since the
outdoor season opened, exactly 65 men have re-
ported for practice. This is a good showing as
far as it goes, 65 men training each day would
give us a track team of which to be proud, if not
this year, at least in another year. But examine
the situation more closely. Of these men who
have reported, 21 have not been out over three
times, and at least 10 others have not been out
over six times. Bowdoin Spirit? Of the remain-
ing 34 men, but 1 1 have been out every day since
the term commenced. Bowdoin Spirit? Further-
more, out of the total 65, but 33 are underclass-
men. Bowdoin Spirit? To raise Bowdoin's ath-

letic standard, it is imperative that the under-
classmen come out and receive the training that
will enable them to take the places of the men
who graduate. We make our athletes, for the
most part, and it is a slow process. Every under-
classman who is not a candidate for some other
athletic team, or a managership should be out on
the track every day and fit himself for the work
of the years to come.

We have a new coach this year, who has had
wide experience in all athletic events. He was
carefully selected as the one man who could best
develop our green men. We did not expect a vic-
tory perhaps, this year, with but a half dozen
points back in college, but we did expect that he
would develop men for next year. Can he do it
with but ten men appearing regularly for practice
to receive the benefit of his knowledge? Again,
there seems to be a feeling among some men in
college that they can advise our runners better
than the coach. In the case of one or two men,
this advice, well meant no doubt, has had more
weight than that of the coach and has practically
nullified his work. Bowdoin Spirit? Keep away,
fellows, and let the coach earn his money. He
knows what is best and it is the duty of every
man on the squad to obey him implicitly.

It is our plan to have weekly handicap meets.
To develop our green men, this competition is a
necessity. These meets have been well advertised
and every man knew they were to take place. At
the first meet but 38 of the squad reported and at
the second, but 42. Boivdoin Spirit? These
meets are held for a purpose and more men should
be out to compete.

Among the members of the squad, however,
there are some men who are trying to do what
they can for the college. They work hard and
faithfully and, though inexperienced and unde-
veloped, are following orders and set a praise-
worthy example to other men who let selfish in-
terests turn them from the interests of the col-
lege. Forgetting this work and gameness, many
of the spectators stand by and ridicule them be-
cause they do not show finished form. Bowdoin
Spirit? A fine thing for men who are too
wrapped up in themselves to help the college, to
make sport of the few underclassmen who are
really trying to do something for the college, and
who in a few years will be hailed as our best ath-
letes.

This is not an attack on the spirit shown by our
football team last fall, that was true spirit, but
such exhibitions come only in flashes. In the
spirit that requires hard monotonous work with
no apparent result, in the little things that sum up

BOWDOIN ORIENT

to the larger things, we are lacking. Let us bring
back the old Bowdoin Spirit, it must have existed,
or we would not have the tradition. Get out on
the track every day. It is hard work, but it's
worth some sacrifice to represent Bowdoin. Obey
the coach's orders and believe that he knows best.
Encourage the men who are working, do not ridi-
cule them in the slow process of perfecting form.
Then we will have the true Bowdoin Spirit, a
spirit that is worth while, that is permanent, not
a flash in the pan, and we will take our proper
position in the track world, the position which the
memory of Harry Cloudman, Irving Nutter, Sum-
ner Edwards, Harry Atwood, and Henry Colbath
bids us take.

ROBERT D. COLE,

Captain Track Team.

SUNDAY CHAPEL, PRESIDENT HYDE
At Sunday Chapel, April 21, President Hyde
spoke of the recent Titanic disaster. He said that
he should not refer to the College's share in the
great tragedy since the grief of those nearer to
the lost ones was so much greater, but would
dwell upon the great lessons to all the world
which might be drawn from it. He said in part :
"It sometimes seems far-fetched to speak of it as
a chastisement, but this is a chastisement for sin,
not for the sin of the passengers or crew nor even
of the managers or directors, but for the sin of
the whole American people and the world, so far
as it shares the attitude of the American people.
It is the sin of caring more for luxury than safe-
ty, of the incidents of life rather than life itself."
He then dwelt on the hopeful aspect of the trag-
edy, of the nobleness displayed by men, and
women alike, saying that this also was common in
our everyday life and the tragedy only a small ex-
hibition of the sacrifices of mothers and young
men. "There are deep, heroic, transcendent vir-
tues on land as well as on sea." The President
closed by reading a poem by Theodore Williams,
which expressed very beautifully, honor and
prayer for the dying brave, pity and hope for
those bereaved of friends.

Cfie ili&rarp Cafile

Stover at Yale by Owen Johnson. (Current Se-
rial in McClure's Magazine.)
Stover at Yale is a serial story by Owen John-
son, the writer of The Eternal Boy, which is far
and away the best story of American schoolboy
life ever written. The Eternal Boy and its vari-
ous sequels have done much to immortalize Law-
renceville — quite as much in their own particular

way as Mr. Hughes's book has done for Rugby.
Consequently, considerable interest was aroused
by the announcement that Mr. Johnson had writ-
ten a very big story of American college life. Un-
fortunately, however, Stover at Yale proves to be
by no means a "big story," and lately it has be-
come no story at all, but simply a rather tiresome
attack on present conditions at Yale — an attack
which those who know Yale life intimately say is
entirely prejudiced and unfair. Stover at Yale is
a protest — very frankly a protest — and as such
was conceived and advertised, only— it has be-
come all protest and no story. It opens well, al-
though tamely, with considerable commonplace
advice to Freshmen, races through a year or two
of football games that Yale does NOT win and
some that she does win, brings in Tap Day, to-
gether with an immensely popular football cap-
tain who is NOT tapped, introduces a girl wise
beyond her years, and straightway becomes trans-
formed into a treatise on sociology as applied to
the undergraduate community. The story does
not remain long in one's mind, it leaves a curious
sense of confusion — due partly, no doubt, but by
no means entirely, to its publication in serial form
— and, in short, exasperates until one feels like
wading in with a club and straightening things
out. Furthermore, it presents Yale in rather a
bad light — a dangerous thing to do when the
foundation of such a presentation is uncertain.
The characters, too, are not appealing; "Regan"
is not drawn strongly enough to arouse any very
deep sympathy in the average reader, and those
who know Mr. Johnson's previous books have be-
come familiar with so many degenerations and
regenerations of "Dink Stover," that before long
they surely must abandon all hope for that unfor-
tunate victim of environment. The thing that
Stover at Yale does do for the student who reads
it is to cause him to ask himself once again the
eternal question "are secret societies fair?" and
the manner in which Mr. Johnson attacks secret
societies at Yale makes one favor rather than op-
pose them.

BOWDOIN AND MAINE KAPPA SIGMAS JOIN
HANDS

The second annual joint banquet of Psi Chap-
ter of Maine, and Alpha Rho Chapter of Bowdoin
of Kappa Sigma was held Thursday evening,
April 18, at the Elmwood Hotel, Waterville.
Nearly every active member from each chapter
was present, together with a number of alumni
from both Psi and Alpha Rho. Between the
courses, the entertainment was made lively by the
singing of fraternity songs.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

After the banquet, many effective speeches
were made, setting forth the progress of each
chapter and the aims of the fraternity as a whole.
J. Everett Hicks, Bowdoin '97, G. M. of the First
District of the fraternity, acted as toastmaster.
Among the other speakers of the evening were
Mr. Foster, Maine '03, of Oakland, C. W. Wes-
cott, Maine '12, B. C. Rodick, Bowdoin '12, O. B.
Higgins, Maine '12, W. R. Spinney, Bowdoin '13,
H. L. Crosby, Maine '12, E. L. Russell, Bowdoin
'12, and R. K. Hagar, Bowdoin '13.

The committee for the banquet was: R. K.
Hagar '13, E. L. Russell '12, and E. O. Leigh '12
of Alpha Rho, and C. W. Wescott '12, O. B. Hig-
gins '12, and H. L. Crosby '12 of Psi Chapter.

fl>n t&e Campus

Everybody's doin it, doin what ? Having a ban-
quet.

Mr. Ralph B. Stone, former instructor in Math-
ematics, was on the campus last week.

The following are out for the Orient Board :
McDonald, Elwell, Talbot, and Kuhn.

James O. Tarbox '14, was initiated into the
Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Wednesday, April 17.

B. C. Rodick '12 is coaching the graduation
speakers of the Freeport High School, his alma
mater.

The following Freshmen are out for baseball
assistant manager: Elwell, Mannix, Ricker, Ba-
con, Perkins, Hall, Hyler.

Prof. Charles H. Mcllwain, head of the His-
tory department last year and now at Harvard,
visited Brunswick last Sunday.

W. A. MacCormick '12, Fifield '11, A. S. Mer-
rill '14, P. H. Douglas '13, and J. F. Weintz '15,
went on another deputation trip last week end,
this time to Skowhegan.

Wet grounds and a considerable downpour up-
set the plans for the baseball game between Bow-
doin and the Maine Centrals in Portland last Fri-
day. It is not yet definitely decided whether the
game will be played at another date.

The trials for the choice of a speaker to repre-
sent Bowdoin at the Annual Contest of The New
England Oratorical League was held Thursday,
but owing to the absence of one of the contestants
the decision is reserved until he will be able to try
out.

The Alpha Delta Phi and Kappa Sigma Fra-
ternities are having new tennis courts laid out.
The old Kappa Sigma court was swallowed up
by the new gymnasium, and the new one will be
located directly across Harpswell Street from the
chapter house.

Mr. Tyson, in charge of the construction of the
new Gym, requests that students and other spec-
tators shall not come near to the building when
the construction work is going on. Mr. Tyson
feels that now that the walls and the steel beams
are going up that the danger of an accident is too
great for any spectators to be allowed in the
buildings.

A new trophy for the College will be received
within a few days, in the form of a silver trophy
cup to be kept permanently in the trophy room
and to have the names of the highest point win-
ners for Bowdoin in the intercollegiate meets en-
graved upon it. This is the gift of Mrs. Henry A.
Wing in memory of her husband, Henry A. Wing,
who was a prominent member of the Bowdoin
Athletic Council for years, and was a judge at
many Bowdoin track meets. The inscription on
the cup will be "Memory of Henry A. Wing,
1880." Further announcement of the gift will be
made in a later issue.

Spalding's Second College Baseball Annual
has been recently issued and contains, among a
number of interesting notes of the college game,
an All-New England college team. Its choice for
catcher is George F. Wilson, late of Bowdoin, and
captain-elect of the 1912 team, who is doing the
backstop work for Toronto in the Eastern League.
The Annual says this about Squanto in making its
choice: ''The selection of a catcher is a simple
problem. In that important position Bowdoin
was exceptionally strong. Wilson was a fine
backstop, could throw to bases like a shot, and
was strong on foul flies. He makes his place on
the all-college team 'in a walk.' " Bowdoin is not
represented elsewhere by either picture or sched-
ule.

President Hyde will represent the College at
the inauguration of President Hibben of Prince-
ton in May.

The Faculty refused permission for the dual
meet with Bates on May 4, on the ground that too
many athletic contests were to occur at that time.

At the last meeting of the Faculty thirty major
warnings, and fifty-six minor warnings were given.
Last year there were sixteen majors and fifty-six
minors.

Prof. Wilmot B. Mitchell will be Bowdoin's
delegate to the 75th anniversary of the opening
of Mt. Holyoke College which is to take place in
October.

At the last Faculty meeting it was voted that
Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors must regis-

ter electives for next term before the examination
period of the present term.

Professor Hormell gave an address before the
Sagadahoc Teachers' Association last Friday.
His subject was "The Methods and Aims of His-
tory Teaching in Elementary and Secondary
Schools."

Bowdoin will be represented by Dr. N. F. Whit-
tier at the fifteenth International Congress on
Hygiene and Demography, to be held under the
auspices of the United States Government in
Washington, D. C, Sept. 23-28.

The first news of the "Titanic" disaster was re-
ceived in Brunswick at nine o'clock Monday eve-
ning by Prof. Hutchins who intercepted a mes-
sage at his wireless station in the Science Build-
ing. This was a number of hours before it was
known to the newspapers.

The ladies of the Faculty announce that an ex-
tra college tea will be held May 7 to which all
alumni in this vicinity are welcome. The occa-
sion for this additional afternoon reception is the
Maine Conference of Congregational churches
which is to be held in Brunswick on that date and
the day following.

April 20, 1912.

In the sinking of the Titanic on April 14, the

Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon lost

Brother Richard F. White of the delegation of

1912.

Brother White's literary ability, his position on
the editorial staff of the Quill, and his excellent
scholarship made him known throughout the col-
lege ; his faithful devotion to the fraternity in all
matters, large and small, made him especially dear
to us, and make us deeply regret his loss under
such particularly tragic circumstances.

To his mother and brother, the Chapter ex-
tends its heartfelt sympathy in their double loss.
To us he was a loved and honored brother and we
mourn his loss with them.

THE BIG SPRING RALLY

ALL-STUDENT GATHERING— MAY 2

The biggest event of the year in the line of
spirit rousing and good fellowship will take place
Thursday evening when students, faculty and
alumni get together for the Big Spring Rally. An
affair of this kind is very hard to forecast. Our
up-and-coming Student Council which has the
love feast in charge is very mysterious when
questioned as to the speakers and features and we
are obliged to fall back on past history in telling
what is likely to occur. We can be pretty certain
that Track and Baseball will be mentioned, and
perhaps the Lunt Plan. Then too we are reason-
ably sure that something classy will be presented
in the line of a souvenir for the occasion, and
there will certainly be plenty of cider, smokes and
other promoters of good fellowship. Aside from
that we dare not promise. Last year we decided
to have a new Gym at this affair and there is no
telling what may be decided this time. We might
go on promising all kinds of other surprises, but
it is enough to say that no live student of Bow-
doin College can afford to throw away this oppor-
tunity of attending the Big rally of the year. Re-
member, there are rallies and rallies but only one
Spring Rally. Admission fifty cents ; music ;
speeches ; souvenirs ; refreshments ; cheers ; and
general good time. Everybody out !

BOWDOIN, 2; DARTMOUTH, 12- APRIL 24
Bowdoin lost the second game of the trip to
Dartmouth. 12 to 2, on the Dartmouth Campus.
The grounds were very muddy and many errors
resulted. Bowdoin started off well when Bob
Weatherell, the first man up, smashed a long
drive to center which was good for four bags'.
After that the game was all Dartmouth. Bow-
doin could do little with either of Dartmouth's
pitchers.

STUDENTS' WORK APPRECIATED

Brunswick, Me., April 27, 1912.
William DeWitt Hyde,

President of Bowdoin College,
My dear Sir :

The Selectmen of Brunswick, in behalf of the

town, thank the students of Bowdoin College for

Only one week from next
Fight, Fight, Fighl! Saturday comes the Maine

Intercollegiate Track Meet in
Brunswick. The team will probably be chosen
this week. Whether a man makes the team or
not, he ought to stay on the squad to furnish com-
petition for the men on the team. Captain Cole's
summary of the situation last week showed that
there were not enough men standing by the team
to give this competition. The student support at
the practice meets has been improving, but it
ought to be still more in evidence. Remember
that Bowdoin has never lost a track meet on
Whittier Field.

the hope of the Orient that the men will respond
in a body to this offer and will band together to
increase their service and devotion to the College.

The Orient is rather slow to
Bowdoin Tradition criticise an established stu-
dent custom, but in the case
of violations of the traditions of the institution,
especially when these traditions have been made
law by the Student Council it feels no hesitancy
in expressing what must be the sentiment of a
majority of the student body. We refer to the
wearing of Freshman caps, and also of prep
school emblems. The purpose of wearing these
caps is not to haze the Freshman, it is for the
purpose of getting them acquainted with each
other. The purpose of forbidding prep school
emblems is to make the entering classes recog-
nize the superiority of Bowdoin over these
schools. Reasonable enough, isir t it ? And yet
there are some who are not yet wearing the caps
and some who have not yet been able to forget
their prep schools. In some colleges they duck
Freshmen who preserve this spirit of "capital"
independence ; in some institutions they tear the
prep school emblems off those who will not recog-
nize the traditions and customs of the institution
they are attending. At Bowdoin there is a subtle,
more effective way, and yet one less kind to the
offender. It is merely that of letting human na-
ture take its course, and the inevitable result to
him who thus fails to see what is best for him to
do is first criticism, and then unpopularity and
lack of respect of Bowdoin men. Is it worth the
price ?

Out of the joint meeting of
A Progressive Step the Faculty committee and

the non fraternity men there
has come a plan which the Orient believes will
prove one of the greatest forward strides of the
year. The tentative offer of the college to rent
one of its houses to the non fraternity men will
mark a new departure in Bowdoin life. That the
plan will succeed there can be little doubt. It will
serve to bind the non fraternity men into a more
effective unit and by so doing cannot fail to give
a great impulse to undergraduate activities. It is

SUNDAY CHAPEL

The Chapel Sunday was a memorial service to
Richard Frazer White, the member of the Senior
Class who was one of the victims in the Titanic
disaster. His classmates, in honor to him, ap-
peared in cap and gown and marched in regular
order in and out of the chapel. President Hyde
spoke on the character and personality of Bow-
doin's lost son and pointed out what a heritage it
has left us. His words in part were as follows :
"Richard Frazer White has left Bowdoin College
a precious legacy. If we can each appropriate
our share we shall be better men to the end of our
days : and through us he may still do for the world
something of what in his own person he was so
splendidly prepared to do. Filial, faithful, thor-
ough, thoughtful, eagerly interested in this many-
sided world; modest about what he had done and
was; ambitious about what he was to do and be;
he filled to the full every relationship in which his
brief life placed him. Somehow , somewhere, our

BOWDOIN ORIENT

faith assures us, this strong and gentle nature will
find its appropriate career and its fitting satisfac-
tion. Those nearest and dearest to him, in due
time, gratitude for what he was in some measure
will console for the terrible loss which now
weighs them down. We who have known him
through almost an entire college course, can best
express our gratitude and affection by adding to
our own lives some portion of the frankness and
fidelity, the earnestness and kindliness, the mod-
esty and efficiency which in him we have admired
and loved."

WHAT THE SENIORS WILL DO

A canvass of the members of the Senior Class
to discover what they intend to do after gradua-
tion next June shows that teaching, business, and
medicine are the lines which will attract the most.
Many will study law and still more will take post-
graduate work in Bowdoin, Harvard, and Tech.
Twenty-two of the eighty-six have not yet made
the important decision. The future vocations of
the rest are as follows : Teaching 12, Business
12, Medicine 10, Further study 10, Law 8, Minis-
try 3, Chemists 3, Y. M. C. A. work 2, Electrical
work 1, Engineering I, Manufacturing I, Biologi-
cal work 1.

THE FRIARS AT RIVERTON

The Friars held their annual dinner and dance
last Friday evening, at Riverton Park Casino,

ronesses were Mrs. Eugene T. Savage of Bangor
and Mrs. Neal W. Cox of Portland. Among
those present were the Misses Elizabeth Sullivan,
Pauline Savage of Bangor; Marion Keith of Old
Town; Grace A. Kern, M. Eulalia Duddy, Rose
Tyler, Mary Hieber of Portland; Alexina La-
pointe of Brunswick; Lila Pike of Dover; Lida

HEATH HONORS BOWDOIN

The Hon. Herbert M. Heath of the Class of
1872, who has recently announced himself a can-
didate, at the June Primaries for the office of
United States Senator, will pay Bowdoin under-
graduates the pleasing honor of opening his cam-
paign in Memorial Hall, Monday evening, May 6,
at 8 P. M. Out of a sentimental regard for his
college Mr. Heath has declined several invitations
to open his campaign elsewhere.

Although the Republican Club is tendering its
services in arranging for the rally, Mr. Heath
does not come at the invitation of that organiza-
tion but out of regard for the whole student body
and expresses a desire that all students of what-
ever political faith shall attend the rally.

The general public is also cordially invited to
attend.

Tuesday evening in the Debating Room in Hub-
bard Hall, J. A. Norton '13 was elected to fill out
the term of E. F. Maloney '12, secretary, who has
left college. Treasurer Timberlake reported that
in spite of the extra expense incurred in having
two debates this year, the Council stood better
financially than last season.

The Good Government Club met April 22, in
the Government Room, Hubbard Hall. Papers
were read reporting on the municipal government
■of Portland in its various phases and departments.
These papers were the result of the personal in-
vestigation of the Club members. A discussion
followed the reports.

Last Friday afternoon, A. D. Welch '12 was
chosen to represent Bowdoin in the annual contest
of the New England Oratorical League to be held
at Brown University, May 3. P. H. Douglas '13
was chosen as alternate. Mr. Welch's subject for
the contest has not yet been announced.

President Aley of the University of Maine
spoke before the Ibis, April 22, taking for his sub-
ject "James Whitcomb Riley." His speech was
illustrated with numerous readings from the
Hoosier poet and was greatly enjoyed by those
present.

The Chemical Club met Friday evening at the
Psi Upsilon House. There were 15 members
present. Dr. Cram introduced Dr. Marks of Sim-
mons College who spoke upon the detection of ar-
senic in small quantities. After the talk refresh-
ments were served and a social hour was enjoyed.

At a meeting of the non-fraternity men, held in
the Faculty Room, in Massachusetts Hall, on last

The Deke and Zeta Freshmen crossed bats on
the Delta Wednesday afternoon. The Zetas won
12 to 10. Kuhn and Cox pitched, and Mannix
and MacCormick acted as umpires.

The day of the Maine Intercollegiate Track
Meet is fast approaching and a man has been
hired by the Track Association to keep the track
in the best possible condition for that event.

Thomas J. Halpin, a prominent candidate for
the Olympic team in the 440 and 8S0 dashes, and
a member of the B.A.A., has been in town for the
past week training prior to the trials for that
team. He was a member of the team which broke
the world's record at Troy in a relay race against
the New York A. C. and the Irish American A. C.
He has a mark of 1.55 2-5 in the half and 49 1-5
in the quarter. While here he has been the guest
of Captain Cole.

Professor Mitchell gave an illustrated lecture
on "The Wordsworth Country" in Memorial Hall,
last evening. A large number of students and
faculty attended. Professor Mitchell visited this
region last summer and took views of a number
of the places made famous by the writings of the
Lake poets.

Talk about amateur fire fighters. We are com-
mencing to think we are a necessary adjunct to
the Brunswick Fire Department and Chief Colby
after the big fire of last Friday. The Orient for-

bears printing the names of those who distin-
guished themselves by individual deeds of daring
on account of the space required for such a list.
Carnegie will probably appropriately reward most
of them.

Dr. Burnett has recently distributed a number
of copies of a collection of Bowdoin songs he has
written. Among them is "Rise, Sons of Bow-
doin," which the Glee Club rendered with so much
success. Copies of this collection can be obtained
at Chandler's for twenty-five cents. It is hoped
that everybody will make himself acquainted with
them in order that they may be tried out at the
Rally. Those men who have tried them are en-
thusiastic in their favor and say that they will
remedy the oft lamented dearth of Bowdoin
music.

Intercollegiate Botes

Reed College, Portland, Oregon, of which Wil-
liam Trufant Foster, formerly Professor of Eng-
lish and Argumentation at Bowdoin, is president,
began its first year of instruction last September
with fifty Freshmen,— twenty-six men and twen-
ty-four women,— out of two hundred and sixty-
three applicants. The college declines to admit
any students on conditions, special students, par-
tial students, or those who have not completed the
equivalent of a four-year high school course with
more than mediocre credit. In the words of the
catalogue, "For the first few years at least, there
will be no fraternities and no sororities, no inter-
collegiate athletics, and but few of those outside
activities that have often interfered with the su-
preme objects of higher education There

will be a healthful interest in clean sports and
every boy and every girl will be expected to take
part regularly in some of the out-of-door games."

Subscriptions totaling $3,000 towards the erec-
tion of a new concrete stadium for the University
of Maine were pledged recently by members of
the New York Alumni Association of the univer-
sity.

A Men's League for Woman Suffrage similar

It was with surprise and sincere sorrow that
the news of the death of William R. Merrill was
received on the campus last Tuesday. Although
he had been ill for a period of three months with
appendicitis, it was thought that his condition was
improving. "Billie" Merrill came to the service
of the College from an enviable record in the
traffic department of the Maine Central Railroad
where he was employed for seventeen years. For
the last eighteen months until the time of his ill-
ness he was employed as janitor of Appleton Hall.
During that time he came to be well known by
everyone in college and was very popular and
highly esteemed among the students in Appleton.
The College sympathizes with Mrs. Merrill and
her son in their loss and unite with them in
mourning the death of one whose character and
cheerful disposition endeared them to him
closely.

CARD OF THANKS
Mrs. William R. Merrill and son Barton wish
to express their deepest gratitude for the invalu-
able aid and kindness of the students and mem-
bers of the Faculty of Boivdoin in their recent af-
fliction.

'80. — It is reported that the widow of Col.
Henry Asa Wing will present to the college a lov-
ing cup as a recognition of the love which Col.
Wing bore to the college and the active interest
that he always took in its welfare. The cup is of
solid silver, of very graceful and quaint design,
stands 12 inches high and is inscribed "In Memo-
riam. Henry Asa Wing, Class of 1880."

The trophy will be in the possession of the col-
lege and will be in the trophy room of the new
gymnasium. From year to year it will be in-
scribed with the date, name, and number of points
that represent the highest individual score made
for Bowdoin at the annual Maine Track Meet.

The college appreciates the kindness and
thoughtfulness of the gift, but, indeed, the mem-
ory of Col. Wing and his kindly interest in the
college will remain inscribed in the hearts of
Bowdoin men, active and alumni, long after they
have forgotten the outcome of the various events
of which the Colonel was always such an inter-
ested spectator. The appearance on the field of
this true son of Bowdoin has more than once
caused the undergraduate to wonder at the loyalty
of this man, a wonder in which the graduate who
had seen Col. Wing's kindly face many a time in

the Athletic Council, giving his services in the
interest of Bowdoin athletics, was even more able
to join.

'95. — Guy B. Mayo was elected as a delegate to
the National Republican Convention from Penn-
sylvania, Twenty-first District. Mr. Mayo is a
Roosevelt delegate.

'08. — The class and college mates of Clarence
Perrin Robinson will regret to learn of his be-
reavement in the death of his wife which oc-
curred April nth at their home in Woodbury, N.
J. Bessie Stuart Robinson was 25 years, 6-
months, 24 days old and the couple had been mar-
ried about two years.

'10. — A very neat folder was received from the
secretary of this class, entitled Bulletin No. I.
This report, as it is called, shows a great amount
of care in preparation and is very interesting. It
gives the data of eighty of the eighty-four mem-
bers of the class, their home addresses, business
addresses and occupations. It shows that 35 are
engaged in business; 19 in post graduate work;
17 in traveling; and the remaining 19 in various
positions. The business occupations show a great
variety, from "Special Agent Missionary Fertili-
zer Department, Swift & Co.," as ''Ned" Bagley
is labeled, to "First Lieutenant of Philippines
Constabulary" as "Dan" Ready is announced as
being.

Five of the members of this class have been
married, R. E. G. Bailey, Ralph S. Crowell, James
B. Draper, Randall L. Taylor, Jr., and Harold L.
Small.

The Treasurer's report which is appended to
this pamphlet shows that the class now has over
$280 to its credit and it is voted to hold it for
three years before deciding what will be done
with it.

'11. — An announcement recently received from
Reed College, Portland, contains the following
statement : "Earl Baldwin Smith, a graduate of
Bowdoin College, now holding a fellowship in Art
and Archeology at Princeton University, has been
elected to an instructorship in Art in Reed Col-
lege."

BIG MEET SATURDAY

The eighteenth annual track meet of the Maine
Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held
Saturday on Whittier Field. The trials will begin
in the morning at ten o'clock sharp and the after-
noon events will start at two o'clock. The Meet is
already predicted to be one of the most closely
contested in the history of the Association. Bow-
doin men are confident that this year's team is go-
ing to make a strong fight for a leading position.
Every man in college should be on Whittier Field
before ten in the morning to give the team a good
start in the trial events. It is up to the student
body as well as the members of the team to do its
part in keeping defeat from Whittier Field. That
it has done so in the past is attested by the fact
that since the Maine Intercollegiate meets were
started in 1895, Bowdoin has not lost on its own
grounds, and has succeeded in winning the meet
thirteen out of seventeen times. The score by
points is: Colby, .1633^ ; Bates, 289^; Maine,
617; and Bowdoin, 1126.

The tickets for the Meet will go on sale in Me-
morial Hall tonight at 7 :oo. All track men, that
is men who are entered in the Meet, will be al-
lowed first choice. These men will form in line,
and be given preference in the order of their posi-
tion in the line. Each track man will be allowed
two tickets. No substitutes.

Men who are not entered in the Meet will form
in line, and these men will have preference in the
order of their position in line, after the track men
have chosen their seats. These men in the second
line will be allowed three tickets each.

Tickets for morning and afternoon including
grand stand or bleacher seat, $1.00; ticket for af-
ternoon including grand stand or bleacher, $1.00;
ticket for admission only in morning, 25 cents ;
ticket for admission only in afternoon, 75 cents ;
grand stand or bleacher seats, 25 cents.

V BOWDOIN, 3; COLBY, 6— MAY 4

In an interesting but loosely-played game Bow-
doin lost the first contest in the State series to
Colby last Saturday afternoon by the score indi-
cated above. Bowdoin's inability to bunch hits
and Colby's ability to hit at the right times were
the main causes of our defeat. James pitched a
steady game and his work throughout the series

will deserve atttention. Woodcock pitched well
except in the fifth and ninth innings when Colby
got six of her total eight hits. Both teams were
inclined to throw the ball wild between bases. The
work of our infield was a feature of the contest
and was a surprise to most of those who had not
seen it in action before, this year. Brooks, behind
the bat, showed up especially well. Our outfield
was weak on fly balls but did the yeoman's part of
the batting. For Colby, Sturtevant played a
steady game and Reid, the big first baseman, was.
a star at the bat.

doin. Bowdoin's two scores came in the eighth.
Joy got a hit, moved up on a passed ball ; Weath-

BOWDOIN WINS A SECOND TIME

Arthur Deehan Welch, representing Bowdoin
in the annual contest of the New England Inter-
collegiate Oratorical League, held at Brown Uni-
versity, May 2, won a distinct honor for the Col-
lege and added another prize to the many he has
won during his four years here, by receiving the
unanimous vote of the judges for first prize. His
subject was the same with which he won the '68
Speaking contest, "The Irish Drama." The other

BOWDOIN ORIENT

•colleges belonging to the League are Brown, Wes-
leyan, Williams, and Amherst. The judges were
as follows : Henry L. Southwick, Emerson School
■of Oratory, Boston ; Dr. L. B. R. Briggs of Har-
vard; Judge Thomas I. Chatfield of the United
States District Court, Brooklyn ; Professor Fred-
erick Tupper of Vermont University ; Dr. George
Hodges of Cambridge Divinity School. This is
the third annual contest under the auspices of the
League. Bowdoin won last year.

REALIZATION RALLY

It was all there ; our predictions in last week's
issue concerning last Thursday's Rally came true;
music (some new music too, corking Bowdoin
songs by Professor Burnett, and original selec-
tions by the Pall Mall Quartet), souvenirs (neat
■calendars that will last long after the last of us
are out of college), refreshments (ice cream
cones and enough for all), cheers (led by Mr.
Cheer Leader), smokes (not the sensuous "Turk"
or pompous "7-20-4" but good old Missouri Meer-
schaums), and speeches (by future mayors, past
players, some crying for more "pep," others
pleading for less speed, but all infused with the
true Bowdoin spirit).

But that was not the only reason for calling it
the realization rally. One year ago, you remem-
ber, it was the New Gym rally, and as Dr. Whit-
tier said, this rally was that of realization of last
year's anticipation. Then, too, Dick Simpson
realized his last year's ambition to be assistant
baseball manager, as a result of the election held
early in the evening.

The speakers were as follows : George E. Fogg
'02, Bowdoin Tradition ; Harold Files who gave a
good boost to the Lunt Plan; John Clifford '10,
Bowdoin Spirit; Duff Wood, Baseball; Bob Cole,
Track; John Dunphy, Readings; Dr. Whittier,
The New Gym; R. Withington, the Youngest
Bowdoin Man. The Student Council deserves
the credit for the success of the affair.

LAST COLLEGE TEA

The fourth and last College Tea of the season
will be held this afternoon in the Alumni Room
of Hubbard Hall from 3 130 to 5 :30. Spring
flowers will be used for decorations. Besides the
Brunswick people and students present there will
be many visitors from various parts of the State
who are in Brunswick this week as delegates to
the Convention of Congregational Churches .

In the receiving line will be Miss Chapman,
Mrs. Woodruff, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Moody, and
Mrs. Hutchins. Mrs. Mitchell assisted by Mrs.
Nixon and Mrs. Copeland, and Mrs. Brown as-
sisted by Mrs. Hormell and Mrs. Wilder will serve

at the punch tables. Mrs. Ham assisted by Mrs.
Lunt will pour coffee, and Mrs. Files assisted by
Mrs. Davis will serve tea. Others assisting in
serving will be Mrs. Cram, Mrs. Booker, Mrs.
Furbish, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Lewis, and Mrs.
Alice Little. Grant of Lewiston is the caterer.

Gymnasium Bulletin printing in this issue the an-
nouncement that the bulletin
descriptive of the new gymnasium is now ready.
One of the best features is the statement in the
prefatory note that the College proposes to issue
other bulletins from time to time describing the
various departments. The Orient believes that
the carrying out of this announcement offers a
wonderfully broad opportunity for the College.
It provides a suitable medium for bringing before
the public the work and traditions of Bowdoin
and will go far towards solving the problem of
conservative publicity. Let every undergraduate
make the most of the new bulletin.

If there has ever been a time
Fight, Fight, Fight! when there was need of the

Bowdoin Spirit of rising to
the occasion, that time is now and the occasion is
the Maine Meet next Saturday. The ways in
which this spirit can be manifested have been
clearly shown by Captain Cole's recently pub-
lished letter in the Orient. There is plenty of
spirit among the members of the team. They
have fought day in and day out through a long
season of preparation and now approach the cul-
minating struggle of the year. The College has
faith in them, it believes that in spite of injuries
to the members and in spite of the temporary loss
of the coach the team will furnish some surprises
to its rivals. The College has the conviction that
the men will fight till they drop, and that they will
rise to the occasion. And now to show the team
that Bowdoin is united behind it, it is the duty of
every undergraduate to be on Whittier Field early
Saturday morning. Let every man instill in the
athletes what he can of the never-give-in spirit of
Bowdoin, remembering that since the track meet
became an annual event among the Maine col-
leges, Bowdoin has never lost on Whittier Field.

NORTHFIELD LECTURE THURSDAY

From June 21 to 30 there occurs at Northfield,
Mass., the Annual Conference of the Y.M.C.A.
for the colleges of the Eastern States and Canada.
Over 800 students gather here every year and
spend ten days together listening to inspiring
speeches by some of the best speakers in this
country and England, studying how to more ef-
fectively carry on Christian work in their institu-
tions and enjoying the good fellowship which
comes from association with leaders in college life
from every college. No one who has ever at-
tended will forget the inspiration and fellowship
of the place.

The speakers this year are up to the usual high
standard; Mr. Speer, whom we have had the
pleasure of hearing recently; Mr. Mott, the head
of the World's Christian Student Federation;
Rev. D. S. Cairns of Aberdeen, Scotland, who has
been in close touch with the British Student
Movement; Rev. G. G. Atkins of Providence, a
popular College Preacher; E. T. Colton, Secre-
tary of the Foreign work of the Y.M.C.A. ; Rev.
C. B. McAfee, a well known preacher of Brook-
lyn.

Every afternoon is given to recreation. A se-
ries of baseball games, a tennis tournament, a
track meet, swimming, walking, etc., furnish op-
portunity for everyone to have a good time.

Colleges the size of Bowdoin have delegations
of from 12 to 15 men. We have not taken advan-
tage of this opportunity as we should and as we
certainly would if it were better understood what
Northfield really is and how one cannot afford to
miss it. On next Thursday evening at 7 130 o'clock
there will be an opportunity to learn something
about this big intercollegiate event when stereop-
ticon views will be shown and described in Hub-
bard Hall.

ATHLETIC BULLETIN OUT

The first of a series of bulletins to be issued
from time to time describing the various depart-
ments of the College was sent out from the office
last week. To use the words of the bulletin, "In-
asmuch as a new gymnasium and athletic building
now in process of construction make an interest
in physical training timely, the first bulletin is de-
voted to that subject." It is a very attractive
piece of work, and is illustrated with many cuts
of the various athletic buildings and equipment
of the College, as well as plans of the new gym-
nasium. The written material, the work of Dr.
Whittier, contains much of interest to all students
and friends of the College. It includes an early
history of athletics, a complete description of the
new Gym, an outline of the system of physical
training at Bowdoin, and a history of each of the
sports represented here: Rowing, baseball, foot-

concludes with a statement of Bowdoin's athletic
policy and ideals. Copies may be had at the office.

BOWDOIN MISSIONARY

Mr. lliwale has written a report of his work in
the annual report of the Marathi Mission which
has just been received at the library. He says in
part:

"Our present field of labor is from Karad Tal-
uka to Madhe Taluka, about 70 miles in length
from North to South, and about the same from

BOWDOIN ORIENT

east to west, a very thickly populated area. Ka-
rad, Masur, Rahimatpur, Koregaum, Vaduth, and
Medha are out-stations where we have preachers,
teachers, Bible women and an acting pastor. We
are longing to send permanent workers to Madhe
and Masur but for lack of money we cannot do so
at present. We are very thankful to the Lord for
giving us strength to present Christ to about 15,-

000 souls this year. With the help of our col-
porteur we sold 25,000 Scripture portions and dis-
tributed hundreds of tracts and booklets of the
Tract Society.

''During the touring season my associates and

1 made three tours in the district. Everywhere
people gave us a good hearing. In several vil-
lages people requested us to send a Christian
teacher to them. Mrs. Hiwale accompanied me
wherever she could and while my associates and
I were working among the men she was working
among the women. Her gentle and loving ways
won the hearts of many women."

In regard to Mr. Hiwale's work the report
states : "In our Mission itself the most marked
feature of the year's work has been the increas-
ing acceptance of initiative and responsibility by
Indian leaders. When Mr. and Mrs. Lee went
on furlough the responsibility for the Satara Dis-
trict fell largely on Rev. Anandrao Hiwale, and
after Mr. Lee's death, the Mission decided to
leave Mr. Hiwale in charge of this most difficult
field. We rejoice in the ability and consecration
of our Indian fellow-workers. We gladly recog-
nize that they have this year made a marked ad-
vance in responsibility and done much notable
service such as no missionaries could have ren-
dered, and we confidently look forward to their
taking an ever increasing part in Mission work
and counsel."

Satara District, over which Mr. Hiwale has
charge, is about 70 miles square and has a popu-
lation of 500,000. There are 30 workers under
him, two entirely self-supporting churches with
122 members, 7 Sunday Schools with 333 mem-
bers, one High School and 5 other schools with a
total enrollment of 264.

At the meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic
Association in Philadelphia a week ago Saturday,
the Maine colleges had a special conference to

such a course and asked that the selection of offi-
cials be left to the Central Board.

The Annual Spring Tennis Tournament has be-
gun and matches of the first round have been

tered in the tournament this year than ever be-
fore; there seems to be a keen interest in the
sport this spring and prospects for a winning team
are excellent.

The members of the Gibbons Club are to pro-
duce the play, "Our Jim" on May 24th. The cast
will consist of Artie Welch, Jack Hurley, John

The American Undergraduate by Clayton Sedg-
wick Cooper : ( The Century Magazine — Janu-
ary to May, 1912).

Clayton Sedgwick Cooper's American Under-
graduate papers must be regarded as a very valu-
able addition to the truly multitudinous works
that have been written of late about the American
college student. As a matter of fact so much has
been written and in such a tone that American un-
dergraduates generally are becoming very frank-
ly tired of being dissected and analyzed up hill
and down dale. We are tired of being called im-
mature; we are tired of old men and magazine
articles that flaunt our immaturity in our faces.
We are perfectly conscious of it and we can't help
it. The Cooper articles, however, are not written
in that vein at all. Strange as it may seem to the
world at large, a great many of the things that we
do are very serious and vital to us, and we are
glad to find them discussed by a man like Clayton

Sedgwick Cooper. We realize, as we cannot help
realizing, that we are becoming a bit of a problem
to the world — Clayton Sedgwick Cooper realizes
it, too — and when a man writes at any length to-
day regarding the American undergraduate he is
pretty sure to touch things that are very close to
our hearts. Accordingly, the Cooper articles do
touch things that are close to our hearts — ath-
letics, undergraduate society, college journalism,
to say nothing of college work itself, and all these
resolve themselves into one big question, distin-
guished not only by a question mark but also by a
flaming danger mark — Are undergraduate activi-
ties absorbing the American undergraduate?

Are undergraduate activities absorbing the
American undergraduate? If they are not Clay-
ton Sedgwick Cooper does not see any reason why
not. He deals with the question very patiently
and very thoroughly, however, looking at the mat-
ter from all points of view, and in every case
where there is any possible doubt he gives the
"activities" the benefit of that doubt.

It is absolutely impossible to give here anything
like an adequate review of the Cooper articles.
There are five of them and every one should be
read carefully and consciously by every under-
graduate who at any time has a serious thought.
There is one sentence in the concluding article
that is worthy of consideration — especially when
one is given to wonder what, after all, he is likely
to get out of his college course. It is this — "Col-
lege training must give a man permanent ideal-
ism." Clayton Sedgwick Cooper believes thor-
oughly that the American undergraduate should
work with that end of "permanent idealism" con-
stantly in view.

'54. — The class and college mates of Hon. John
O. Robinson will regret to learn that he died in
Seattle, Wash., April 9, as a result of a stroke of
paralysis.

Mr. Robinson, the son of Capt. Richard Robin-
son, was born in Thomaston, Me., July 7, 1831.
After attending the schools of that town he came
to Bowdoin, graduating in 1854. Together with
his college friend, the late Chief Justice Fuller,
he was a member of the old Chi Psi Fraternity.

Having studied law and been admitted to the
bar, Mr. Robinson practiced first in his native
town, and then in Pennsylvania, where he was at-
torney for a coal mining company. Later he re-

turned to Thomaston, where he practiced with his
brother-in-law, the late Hon. A. P. Gould, and
with Hon. J. E. Moore, and at a later time with
Hon. Fred Rice Rowell, his office being in Rock-
land. Mr. Rowell and Mr. Robinson set up an of-
fice in Seattle in 1889, where the latter practiced
until he retired sometime before his death. Mr.
Robinson had seen Maine only once since he left
for Seattle.

This son of Bowdoin was a sound and able law-
yer— one of the best. He also possessed that de-
sirable faculty of making hosts of friends. Mr.
Robinson held several political positions on the
Democratic ticket, being twice county attorney of
Knox. The funeral was held April 1 1 at the But-
terworth Chapel, Seattle. He is survived by a
wife, a daughter, and a son.

'62. — Rev. S. W. Pearson is now in a very criti-
cal condition as the result of a fall from a train
on April 25th. Mr. Pearson is now feeling as
well as can be expected, although his condition is
serious.

'72. — Herbert M. Heath has announced his can-
didacy for the Republican nomination for Sena-
tor. He opened his campaign in Brunswick under
the auspices of the Bowdoin Republican Club last
night.

'00. — Joseph C. Pearson is now at his home in
Brunswick, being called here by the illness of his
father.

'01. — Donald F. Snow has announced his can-
didacy for nomination for County Attorney on the
Republican ticket in Penobscot County.

'09. — Rev. Fred V. Stanley has accepted a call
to the Old South Congregational Church in Hal-
lowell.

In the annual report of the Carnegie Founda-
tion two of the nine exchange teachers sent to
Germany under the auspices of the Foundation
are Bowdoin graduates. These are Edgar Kaharl
'99, formerly principal of Brunswick High
School, and John W. Leydon '07, formerly a
teacher in Worcester Academy.

EIGHTEENTH M. I. A. A.— MAY 11

BATES WINS FAST MEET
After a week of steady rain and fog, the day of
the big meet dawned with scarcely a cloud in the
sky. By ten o'clock, when the first of the trial
events began, the track at Whittier Field was in
good condition, and by the afternoon it was in
perfect condition for a record-breaking meet. In
the morning the crowd numbered about 1500, in-
cluding practically the entire student body of each
of the Maine colleges. All through the day every
section was the cheering-section, while four bands
did their best to swell the general uproar. In the
afternoon the crowd numbered over 2000, the
grandstand and bleachers being full to overflow-
ing.

In the first trial heat of the 440-yard dash,
Haskell of Bowdoin and Thompson of Bates ran
a close race, but in the finals Charlie clearly
showed his superiority over all comers in a splen-
did race, defeating Thompson by over ten yards.
Although he won his heat in the trials, because
of a wrenched tendon Captain Bob Cole was un-
able to figure in the 220-yard dash, but he fought

a game, gritty fight right through to the end.

Alton Lewis earned a place for his name on the
new Wing Cup by defeating both Bailey and
Shepherd of Maine in the hammer throw with a
heave of 123 feet, 9% inches.

Four State records and one New England rec-
ord were beaten and one State record was tied.
In the 120-yard hurdles Blanchard of Bates made
a new record of 16 seconds flat. In the shot put
Shepard of Bates broke Bert Morrill's record
with a put of 42 feet, 234 inches. Rogers of
Maine broke his own record in the pole vault with
a vault of 11 feet, 6 inches. Gove of Bates broke
his own and the New England record in the discus
throw with a throw of 125 feet, 6y$ inches. Nar-
dini of Colby equaled the record of 22 1-5 seconds
in the 220-yard dash.

Maine lost her chance of winning the meet
when Deering of Bates won the half-mile and
Gove of Bates defeated Shepherd of Maine for
second place in the shot put by only % of an inch.
In the final results Bates led with forty-three
points, Maine second with thirty-nine points,
Colby third with twenty-six points, and Bowdoin
fourth with eighteen points. Nardini was the
highest point winner with fifteen points.

The great success of the meet, which was han-
dled in a way which could not be improved upon,
was due to the efforts of Manager Cedric Crowell.
There was not a hitch at any time during the con-
test, things going so smoothly that the events in
the afternoon were completed in less than two
hours.

BOWDOIN STRONG MEN

Dr. Whittier has just announced the ten men in
college who have passed the highest strength
tests this year in the physical examinations given
to all men who take part in athletics, to all new
students and to any others who desire examina-
tions. The ten strongest men in the Freshman
Class are also announced. The strength tests
which are given to compute the total strength are
the lungs, back, legs, upper arms and forearms.
In reckoning the strength of the upper arms both
dips and pull-up or chinning are given, the num-
ber of times each is done is added, multiplied into
the weight of the individual, and divided by 10.
In computing the strength of the forearms, each
arm is tested separately by the strength of grip,
and the results of each are added. The physical
examinations are given according to the system
arranged by Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard.
The results are as follows :

ii> Frank Arthur Smith '12: Strength of
Lungs, 26; Strength of Back, 240; Strength of
Legs, 430; Strength of Upper Arms, Dips, 14;
Pull-ups, 14, 218.4; Strength of Forearms, Right,

The feature of the game was a fast triple play
for the Non-Frats, by Grierson, Merrill, Lewis,
and Verrill, which was very timely as it pulled
that team out of a bad hole. A heavy mist made
fast pitching or fielding impossible. The game
was called at the end of the sixth in time for
Chapel.

Bowdoin fought and lost. It
A Hopeful Defeat was the first defeat that the

College has suffered on Whit-
tier Field. We believe that it will be the last.
For in spite of the score, there were a number of
circumstances which promise a different result in
the years to come. Bowdoin found after the meet
at Waterville last year that she must develop a
wholly new team and this year's record represents
the beginning of the development. Of the five
Bowdoin point winners in the meet Saturday, only
one took a place in the contest at Waterville last
year. Every man who 'won a point Saturday is
an underclassman. Coach Fish Marsh has had
the work of training new men to win places and
that is a slow process under any circumstances.
But the way in which he has brought out the abil-
ity of the men gives assurance that he can start
with eighteen points next year and build upward.
The points won by Bowdoin were taken by the
Junior and Freshman classes, each contributing
nine points to the total. The College should be
particularly encouraged by the showing of the
Freshmen, for it knows of the consistent hard
work on their part and is proud of their first year
record.

There was plenty of Bowdoin Spirit displayed
on the field and in the stand. One of the most
stirring examples of pluck was given in the final
of the 220-yard dash when Bob Cole, the fighting
captain of the team, who was crippled by a
wrenched tendon, struggled desperately for the
whole length of the dash to gain a place among
the winners. And there were many of the squad
who proved by their work that with another year's
practice they will develop into point winners.

Bowdoin has gone through the harrowing expe-
rience of two defeats in succession while a new
team is being developed. But the College, though
cast down at the memory of the first defeat on
Whittier Field, may give its admiration and will
give its support to a team which fought for all
there was in it and will fight.

Among the recent contests
Welch's Victory m which representatives of

Bowdoin have engaged, none
has been attended with a result more pleasing to
the College than the New England Intercollegiate
Oratorical Contest. The victory of Arthur Dee-
han Welch following upon that of Earl Baldwin
Smith last year has given Bowdoin first place in
two of the three contests held. To be able to win
from the men entered by Amherst, Brown, Wes-
leyan, and Williams speaks well for the ability of
the Bowdoin representative and his coach. The
Orient wishes to congratulate them in the name
of the College.

BOWDOIN AND THE MAINE CHURCH
CONFERENCE

Bowdoin was well represented at the annual
meeting of the Congregational Conference and
Missionary Society of Maine which took place at
the Church on the Hill last week. Among the
speakers were : Rev. Charles H. Cutler, D.D , of
the class of '91, who delivered a conference s:r-
mon, Tuesday evening; Rev. Alexander P. Mc-
donald '81, who discussed the Maine Sea Coast
Mission; Rev. Daniel Evans, D.D., of the Class
of '90, now a professor at the Andover Theologi-
cal Seminary, who had as a topic "The Task of
the Church in an Age of Unrest ;" and President
Hyde who spoke on "The Birth-right of the
Child."

Among the delegates from the churches were
the following men : Rev. John M. Wathan '92, of
Biddeford; Rev. Nathaniel Flint Allard '91, of
Fryeburg; Rev. Herbert L. McCann '93, of Deer-
ing; Rev. Robert L. Sheaf '94, of Newcastle; Rev.
Langdon Quimby '95, of Gardiner; Rev. Oscar
W. Peterson '06, of Brownfield; and Rev. Willard
S. Bass '96, of Wilton.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

The following Bowdoin men were elected offi-
cers: Rev. Henry S. Noyes '91, Clerk; Rev.
George A. Merrill, Assistant Clerk; and Rev. H.
W. Webb '90, a director. President Hyde was
appointed Interdenominational Commissioner.

PHI BETA KAPPA AFTER ENDOWMENT

A committee of the members of Phi Beta Kap-
pa, Alpha of Maine, connected with Bowdoin, is
trying to raise an endowment fund of five thou-
sand dollars for the chapter. This fund would
make a permanent endowment, the income of
which would pay most of the chapter expenses
and would also probably allow the chapter to hold
public meetings in the winter time, as was for-
merly the custom, in addition to the regular an-
nual meeting at Commencement time. A letter
has recently been sent out to the alumni and gen-
erous contributions to the endowment are already
coming in. The committee in charge of the work
of raising the endowment is composed of Profes-
sors Henry L. Chapman, Frank E. Woodruff,
William A. Moody, George T. Files, and Kenneth
C. M. Sills.

HEATH OPENS CAMPAIGN

Hon. Herbert M. Heath opened his campaign
for United States Senator, in Memorial Hall,
Monday, May 6. After explaining his reasons
for choosing Bowdoin as the place for his opening-
speech and outlining the method he intended to
pursue, that of a direct appeal to the people on a
definite platform rather than personality, he
talked informally about the live issues of the na-
tional campaign. He dealt mainly with the trust
problem and its relation to the tariff, the high cost
of living, and the unequal distribution of wealth.
His exposition of the workings of the Sherman
law was very clear, logical and extremely inter-
esting from the standpoint of the student of eco-
nomics as well as the practical politician. His
speech was interspersed with references to his
college days at Bowdoin and other humorous ex-
periences of his early life. A large and enthusias-
tic audience was in attendance.

PRIZE FOR AMATEUR SOCIOLOGISTS

Through the pages of the New York Times
Owen Johnson, author of Stover at Yale, makes
the following prize offer: "Believing that a mut-
ual knowledge of the merits and defects of the
social systems in vogue at the various colleges, as
well as the arguments pro and con, would be of
larger public interest and service, I should like to
propose a competition for the best constructive
plan for the social organization of a university or

college. I shall be very glad to offer a prize of
$150 for that paper which shall be adjudged the
best submitted by an undergraduate, and $100 for
the best paper from a graduate.

"There will be not the slightest limitation to the
nature of the plan submitted, except of its possible
effectiveness in the safeguarding of education and
democracy.

"I hope that strong papers may be submitted in
behalf of all existing systems, (with suggested
improvements in the matter of detail), and that
equally there may be plans submitted for an en-
tirely different system of division, as well as plans
that would argue for no systems at all.

"The manuscripts should be submitted in type-
written form and signed by a nom de guerre, the
real name being inclosed in a separate envelope.
In any case where, for obvious reasons, a contrib-
utor does not desire to reveal his identity, his
preference will be considered, even in the event
of his winning the prize.

"The competition will close June 2, and the an-
nouncement of the winners will be made in the
Sunday Times of June 9.

"I am glad to announce that the Hon. Otto T.
Bannard, Mr. Norman Hapgood, and Prof. Henry
Fairfield Osborn have generously contributed
their services and will act as a jury.

"From time to time, as the answers warrant it,
The Times will publish them during the progress
of the competition."

CLUB AND COUNCIL MEETING,'

Acting under recommendation from the chair-
man of the committee on grounds and buildings,
the Student Council at its meeting last week voted
to prohibit the posting of all bills, posters, and no-
tices on the trees of the campus. According to
the provisions of the constitution, the vacancy on
the Council left by Wilson, who has left College,
has been filled by the next highest man in the vot-
ing at last year's Spring election, Leland G.
Means '12.

Owing to a misunderstanding the Deutscher
Verein did not meet last Thursday evening as
planned.

The Joint meeting of the Orient and Quill
Boards was held last Thursday afternoon to con-
sider the plan for union of the business manage-
ment of the two Boards formulated by a commit-
tee from the Student Council. All the derails
were not discussed and another meeting will be
held this afternoon to act definitely upon the mat
ter. It will undoubtedly meet with the unqualified
approval of the two organizations.

last week.

The Student Council has decided to hold week-
ly "sings" and band concerts during the rest of
the year. Here is a good chance to learn our new
songs and get together for a good Bowdoin time.

A large part of the student body with the 191 1

Le Nouvelliste, a newspaper printed in the
French language has made its appearance in
Brunswick journalistic fields. The new paper is
four pages in size and contains numerous depart-

stated that it will be independent in politics.

Jupiter Pluvius played an important part in the
athletic events last week. The heavy rain pre-
vented Bowdoin and Maine baseball teams meet-
ing on Whittier Field Friday and the showers all
of last week prevented the playing off of the pre-
liminary rounds in the College tennis tournament.
It is requested by the manager that all matches be
played off as soon as possible in order that the
team may be picked and an opportunity given
them for practice.

Campaign in tbe Colleges

In an article in the Independent for March 21,
President Jacob G. Schurman of Cornell Univer-
sity discusses "The Republican Presidential Nom-
ination." He predicts that President Taft, a Pro-
gressive Republican in the true sense of the word,
will triumph over ex-President Roosevelt, the ex-
ponent of Radicalism and Caesarism.

In the straw vote taken at the New York Uni-
versity under the direction of the Department of
Journalism, the results were as follows :

First choice: Roosevelt, 486; Taft, 456; Wil-
son, 209; Debs, 66; LaFollette, 56; Clark, 51;
Harmon, 40 ; Hughes, 33 ; Gaynor, 25 ; Under-
wood, 17; Bryan, 8; C. E. Russell, 8; Brandeis
and Berger, 2 each, and Hearst, 1.

Second choice: Taft, 318; Wilson, 293; Roose-
velt, 209; LaFollette, 135; Gaynor, 66; Under-
wood, 52; Clark, 49; Hughes, 29; Harmon, 27;
Debs, 9; C. E. Russell, 9; and Berger, 6.

The total of votes cast for first and second
choice causes the order of the leaders to change
to Taft, Roosevelt, and Wilson.

Among the faculty, Wilson and Taft were the
favorites.

A course of lectures in practical politics is be-
ing given at New York University.

Taft, Roosevelt, Harmon, LaFollette, Clark,
and Bryan was the order in which the Trinity un-
dergraduates voted. Taft polled yj votes to
Roosevelt's 70.

Statistics supplied by the Yale News show that
in a straw ballot taken in the principal universi-
ties of the country, Roosevelt has a total of 2324
votes to the 1649 for Wilson, his nearest rival.
Taft is third.

A Taft Club was organized last week at Brown.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Roosevelt, Clark, and Bryan is the way the
vote went at Bucklin High School, Kansas. Taft
got three votes.

Amherst students cheered Taft wildly when
his picture was thrown on the screen at a lecture
recently. Roosevelt was cheered, too, but not
with so much vim.

I am forwarding the book under separate cover.
If you have a place for it with the college memor-
abilia, I shall be glad to have the college retain it.
Yours very truly,

John F. Dana,

such as used to be common around the college,
contains the names and birthdates of various col-
lege mates of Mr. Trask. Among the most inter-
esting signatures is that of the late Gov. Freder-
ick Robie, then 19 years old, the last man of his
class to pass away. This book also contains the
signature of Hon. H. H. Boody, now next to the
oldest Bowdoin graduate in date of graduation.

NO. 7

BOWDOIN MAKES SHOWING

For the 1 2th time Dartmouth won the New-
England Meet Saturday with 46 points, twice as
many as her nearest opponent. Among the Maine
colleges, Bates led with 12 points, Colby was sec-
ond with 8, Maine third with 6 1-2, and Bowdoin
fourth with 6 points. Out of five Bowdoin men
who competed in the trials, four qualified, Faulk-
ner and Floyd in the broad jump, Emery in the
half-mile, and Haskell in the quarter, Lewis fail-
ing to qualify in the hammer-throw. In the finals
Saturday, Harry Faulkner took second place in
the event in which Gutterson broke the record,
Charlie Haskell took fourth in the quarter, and
Uriah Hall took third in the two-mile, being bare-
ly beaten for second place in the final sprint. The
results of the meet are very encouraging from
Bowdoin's standpoint, since last year the White
got no points at all in the New England Meet,
while this year she won over Williams, Worcester
Tech, Trinity, and Amherst.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

BOWDOIN, 4; MAINE, 5— MAY 15

Bowdoin lost to Maine at Orono last Wednes-
day by the above score. At the end of the third
inning the score was 4 to 4, and neither team
could send a man across the rubber until the tenth
inning when Witham smashed out a hit between
left and center which was good for the circuit.

Bowdoin lost the game on errors. Maine failed
to secure a single earned run as snappy work
would have prevented Witham's score in the
tenth. Maine scored three runs in the second on a
combination of hits and errors. Bowdoin scored
four runs in this inning, Joy, Means and Tilton
securing doubles. Slow work on the part of our
infield allowed Maine to tie the score in the
fourth. Both teams played air tight ball from the
fourth inning on.

Means pitched steadily throughout the game,
showing some of his old time form. With good
support he should have won his game.

THE NEW ROOM REGULATIONS

All students who wish to retain their rooms for
the succeeding year must signify their intention
prior to June first.

Shortly before the close of each college year,
the Treasurer will gfve public notice of time and
place for drawing rooms for the ensuing year;
the right of choice being given to the classes in
the order of seniority, beginning with the juniors.

A student on entering college is permitted to
choose from the rooms which are vacant at the
time of his request, by making application at the
Treasurer's Office and signing a Room Contract
which binds the signer to be responsible for the
rent of the room for one academic year ; also for
all unnecessary damage that the room may re-
ceive.

Upon signing a Room Contract at the Treas-
urer's Office a deposit of $10.00 will be required
which is credited to the account of the signer if
he occupies the room. If for any reason he fails
to occupy the room, the deposit will be forfeited.

Rooms are not transferable.

If for any reason, and at any time prior to the
second Thursday in September a signer wishes to
be released, his request will be granted upon the
forfeiture of his deposit.

BASEBALL OUTLOOK

The game between Bowdoin and Maine yester-
day afternoon occurred too late to be included in
this week's Orient. The result of that game and
the game with Colby tomorrow afternoon at Wa-
terville will determine to a great extent our
chance of figuring in the State Championship.
The victory of Bates over Maine last Saturday
afternoon indicates that the Lewiston institution
has struck its gait and will become a formidable
rival in the championship race. Maine has now
played five out of six of her games and from the
present outlook will win the final game. Bates
has played but two of the games on her cham-
pionship schedule but unless some great reversal
of form takes place has a good chance of winning
its remaining games. Colby seems to be out of
the running. Our only chance of tying for first
place is by winning every game left to play.

Next Saturday in Portland will occur the an-
nual game with Tufts. Special Saturday rates
will be in effect on the Maine Central and the
management is counting on a large crowd to go in
to see Bowdoin meet her old rival on the diamond.
Last year's attendance at this game was not near
what it should have been and this is an opportun-
ity for the students to show the team that they are
behind them to a man. Tufts may run an excur-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

sion up to the game, and surely Bowdoin students
would hardly like to witness the humiliating spec-
tacle of being out rooted in the city of Portland.
So, lets get together and make a real live excur-
sion out of the event next Saturday.

PATTANGALL SPEAKS IN MEMORIAL HALL

Last Thursday evening Hon. W. R. Pattangall,
the Attorney-General of Maine, spoke in Me-
morial Hall at a rally given under the auspices of
the Bowdoin Democratic Club. He dealt mainly
with the state issues, speaking at some length on
the financial situation and showing the improve-
ment of this administration over the previous one
in that respect. He took up various articles of the
party platforms and urged especially that state
prohibition ought to be changed to local option.
In closing he advised young men with the right
purposes to enter political life. Owing to the bad
weather there was a small audience in attendance.

STATE TOURNAMENT BEGINS THURSDAY

Owing to the inclement weather during the past
month the Tennis Management has been unsuc-
cessful in carrying out its original plans. It was
previously arranged to finish the tournament now
in progress and then to have a second tournament
for the leading men. From this a team would be
chosen. However, such plans could not be carried
out because of limited time before the State Tour-
nament would begin. Accordingly, elimination
matches were played off among those men who
showed up well this spring and the following
men were picked to represent Bowdoin on the
courts: W. A. MacCormick '12, H. C. Chapman
'12, Savage '13, and Shephard '14. In the State
Tournament which is to be held at Orono, May 24,
25 and 26, Captain MacCormick and Shephard
will play the singles and the doubles teams will be
MacCormick and Savage, Chapman and Shep-
hard. The same men will play singles at Long-
wood where the New England Tournament be-
gins next week but the team to play doubles has
not yet been decided upon.

On Saturday afternoon the above men played
matches in singles and doubles against members
of the Portland Country Club who are Bowdoin
alumni. Although the alumni won all the matches
played the college team showed up well with their
fast company. A second tournament will be
played on Memorial Day at the club grounds in
which each organization will be represented by six
men.

The team will leave for Orono tomorrow after-
noon and after the State Tournament is finished
it will go on to Boston to play in the opening
round of the New England Tournament on the
following Monday.

_._ „ „ . In another column of this is-

The Room Regula- ., ,„

0 sue appear the new regula-

',ons tions for drawing rooms in

the dormitories, the plan becoming effective im-
mediately. Although the present system of the
holding of rooms by upper classmen has undoubt-
edly benefited the smaller social groups of Bow-
doin, the fraternities, it has operated at the ex-
pense of the College at large. It has happened in
several instances that prospective Freshmen have
hesitated to enter Bowdoin because they were un-
able to obtain the assurance of a room in the dor-
mitory. The new plan is designed to enable the
College to place before prospective students a list
of the available rooms whenever such a list is re-
quested. The Orient hopes that the undergrad-
uates will agree to the letter and spirit of the reg-
ulations with alacrity, for it is convinced that the
result cannot fail to benefit the College at large.

Why Fraternity Base-

As the schedule of inter-fra-

ternity games is played off,
"a" the Orient wishes to make a

plea to the members of the different teams. It is
that they shall keep constantly in mind the pur-
pose for which the games were first started : to
develop new material for the varsity. There is of

course the secondary purpose of good-natured
rivalry and of playing the game ; and there is no
danger that this will be forgotten. It may even
overshadow the main end, with the result that
when a team has lost its chance for the champion-
ship, the members take the remaining games as a
matter of course and do not exert themselves to
the utmost. Is that the case at present ? Bowdoin
needs more material for the varsity which the in-
ter-fraternity games should develop this season.

_. , . ...... Again the College has an op-

The Interscho astic *\ , . °. ■ .. ntL

portunity to entertain the atn-

Meet letic teams and representa-

tives of schools throughout the State at the An-
nual Interscholastic Meet next Saturday. It is an
opportunity which should be used to give the visit-
ing sub-freshmen a true impression of Bowdoin
life. There is little need to speak of the new gym-
nasium and the physical attractions of the College
as these will be easily displayed. But it is possible
for those who entertain guests to give them dur-
ing even a short stay a touch of the Bowdoin
Spirit which is found not in the campus, but in the
undergraduates themselves.

QUILL RANKS HIGH

The Orient takes pleasure in passing on to its
readers a considerabe honor which the Quill re-
cently received. The Williams Literary Magazine
publishes each year a list of the college magazines
in the order of their rank as to excellence. This
is an imperfect method of judging the "All-Amer-
ica" college papers as are all such attempts, even
in the realm of football, but owing to the care
with which this ranking has been prepared in the
past it has come to be a well established method of
determining the leading college literary publica-
tions. Last year the Quill stood fourth in the
list ; this year it is given second rank, being pre-
ceded by the Vassar Miscellany. We quote from
the article :

"Second on the list would come the Bowdoin
Quill — a paper which has been most happy in its
contributors, this year. Its articles have been
very few indeed : the whole make-up of the maga-
zine is a matter of not many pages. But every
story, poem and essay has been above the aver-
age, has been interesting and well-executed : has
been a striking argument in favor of quality over
a slip-shod quantity. Then, too, the Quill has
realized the charming distinction of its format,
and has remained throughout the year, original
and refreshing. It has been a pleasure to review
it since we first began our round of readings, and
to notice how much the Quill has gained this
year.

in the First Baptist Church of Pawtucket, Sep-
tember 20, 191 1, on "Prayer and Its Relation to
Life," has recently been published in pamphlet

BIG GAME COMING

Next Thursday Bowdoin and Bates clash at
Lewiston in their annual Memorial day game.
Bates, it is admitted, has a very strong team this
year and <on the results of games played should
win out. But baseball is an uncertain game, and
it is hard to predict the outcome. Bowdoin has
played in hard luck all the year. The Maine game
at Orono was lost on a fluke, really. The two
teams have not played many of the same teams
this year, so that it is rather difficult to compare
them. The most recent game has been with Tufts.
Bates defeated the Bay State collegians in a hard-
fought game by a score of I to o. Saturday Bow-
doin lost to the same team by a score of 5 to 2 in
a ten-inning match.

Bowdoin has a strong hitting team, but the
great fault has been ragged fielding at critical
moments. The Tufts game, though, shows that
the fellows have at last struck their stride, and the
game next Thursday should be a good one.
Everybody should be on hand to help the fellows.

BOWDOIN, 2; TUFTS, 5— MAY 25
Tufts defeated Bowdoin for the second time
this season in a ten inning contest at Portland
Saturday. The game was very much closer than
the score indicates. In the tenth inning after the
Medford team had secured a three run lead, Capt.
Means and Weatherill hit safely. Skolfield struck
out. Then Tilton came to bat and drove a hit in
the direction of first base. And right here came
the big question of the game. The umpire de-
clared the ball a foul. The ball went under the
bleachers, and before it had been thrown in,
Means, Weatherill, and Tilton had crossed the
plate. The men were called back after a ten min-
ute discussion. Tilton struck out, LaCasce was
out at first, and the game was over.

One of the features of the game was Link Skol-
field's home run from a drive over the left field
fence in the sixth inning. Lee Means fielded his
position perfectly and secured three hits out of
four times at bat. Proctor at short and Laurie in
center field starred for Tufts.

BOWDOIN INVITATION MEET
After qualifying 20 of the 50 men who qualified
in the morning's trials, Hebron Saturday after-
noon easily won the 14th Annual Bowdoin Invi-
tation Interscholastic Track Meet on Whittier
Field with 49I/2 points. Dexter High took second
place with 15 points, Coburn Classical Institute
was third with 13 points, Bangor fourth with 10
points, Portland fifth with nine points, Thornton
Academy sixth with 5^ points, Camden and Bid-
deford seventh, each having five points, Deering
eighth with four points, and Maine Central Insti-
tute ninth with one point. The Hebron athletes
took six firsts, those in the 100 yd. dash, 440 yd.
dash, 220 yd. dash, 220 yd. hurdles, shot put, and
pole vault.

The record for the mile was lowered from 4
min. 482-5 sec. to 4 min. 43 1-5 sec. by Preti of
Portland High. In the 12 It), hammer throw, the
record was broken by Murchie of Coburn, Par-
sons of Hebron, and Leadbetter of Bangor, Mur-
chie's throw being 154 ft. 8j4 in., breaking the old
record of 133 ft. 44-5 in. In the 12 lb. shot put
Allen of Hebron broke his own record of 44.18 ft.
with a put of 45 ft. 1% in.

The speed and smoothness which characterized
the handling of the meet is largely due to the ef-
forts of Asst. Mgr. Alan Cole, who. was in charge.

NON-FRATERNITY CLUB ORGANIZES

On Thursday, May 16, the visiting committee,
composed of two trustees and three overseers, met
at the college and voted to recommend to the
Board of Trustees and Overseers the appropria-
tion of the sum asked for in the plan of the Non-
Fraternity Club recently formed.

This club met last Wednesday for the election
of officers and the following were chosen : Presi-
dent, L. H. Gibson '14; Vice-President, L. G.
Whittier '13 ; Treasurer, R. M. Verrill '14; Secre-
tary, R. E. Hubbard '14; Steward, H. C. Dixon
'14. These officers, of course, are provisional
upon the adoption of the plan by the Trustees and
Overseers. The question of a name for the club
was also discussed but none was decided upon. It
was also voted to hold a banquet at New Meadows
Inn, the date to be fixed by the committee.

COLLEGE PREACHERS

Rev. Roswell Bates, D.D., of New York was the
College Preacher last Sunday, occupying the pul-
pit of the Church on the Hill in the morning and
speaking at the Chapel Vesper service at 5 P. M.
In the evening he met a number of the students at
the D. K. E. House for an informal talk.

The last College Preacher of the year is Rev.
Gaius Glenn Atkins, D.D., of Providence, R. I.,
who will preach next Sunday, June 2. Dr. Atkins,
born in Carmel, Ind., received his degree of A.B.
from Ohio State University in 1888 and of LL.B.
from Cincinnati Law School in 189 1. He was
given the degree of D.D. by the University of
Vermont in 1904, and by Dartmouth College in
1906. He was pastor of the Congregational
Church in Greenfield, Mass., from 1895 to 1900, in
Burlington, Vt., from 1900 to 1906, of the First
Church in Detroit from 1906 to 1910, and since
1910 has been pastor of the Central Church in
Providence. Dr. Atkins is an able and vigorous
preacher.

The tennis season this year
College Tennis Court has brought out forcibly the

need of a court maintained
for the sole use of the team. At present the fra-
ternity courts do not offer an adequate opportun-
ity for the team to practice and for the owners to
enjoy the use of their courts. When the varsity
team practices or when college tournaments are
held, the management faces the necessity of re-
questing some fraternity to give up the use of its
court for the occasion. Although the manager's
request is granted, it is unfair to the fraternities
to continue to ask t!le favor from year to year.
With the building of a college court the team
might practice at all times without inconvenienc-
ing other players.

There is now on exhibition at
Prize Son? Cup Hubbard Hall near the charg-
ing desk the Sterling Silver
Cup just given to the College by David W. Snow,

Esq. '73, of Portland. It is twelve inches in height.
On the front is engraved "Song Cup. David W.
Snow '73." On the back are the first two meas-
ures from Walther's Prize Song from "Die Meis-
tersinger." This cup is offered as an annual prize
for the best class singing. This involves the or-
ganizing of a joint contest in which all four
classes shall compete. The class doing the best
work will hold the cup as a prize until the next
annual contest. In some colleges, Amherst for
example, such competitions have constituted one
of the pleasantest features of college life. The
Amherst men sing like a trained chorus and
throngs gather on foot and in automobiles from
the surrounding region to attend their open-air
competition. For Bowdoin men the occasion of-
fers itself as one of the few incentives now exist-
ing for the maintenance of a wholesome class
spirit. The College owes hearty thanks to Mr.
Snow for his generous aid toward establishing
here a new and delightful custom — one likely to
result at length in a large increase of Bowdoin

Today it is necessary for the
Financial Loyalty track manager to collect all

subscriptions in order that a
team may represent Bowdoin at the I.C.A.A.A.A.
meet next Saturday. The track men deserve a
chance to represent the college. If the unpaid
subscriptions are not collected, it will be impossi-
ble for the team to make the trip. Let everyone
concerned see the manager and pay him today.

CLUB AND COUNCIL MEETINGS

At the Orient and Quill Boards meeting held
last Thursday, the plan for union of the business
management of the two boards with amendments
was adopted unanimously and will be referred
back to the Student Council.

The Sophomore Class held a meeting last
Thursday noon at which it was decided to hold a
:i;-.ss bsnquet :s usur.l in June. A committee to
be appointed by the president was authorized to
make all arrangements.

The banquet will be held at the West End
Hotel, Portland, Saturday, June 8.

The banquet committee consists of P. Fox, S.
Chase, R. Payson, F. Callahan, C. Bickford, E.

of a shore dinner.

The Juniors will replace the usual class banquet
with a Junior Field Day, to be held tomorrow af-
ternoon. Two hay racks containing the members
of the class will leave the campus at 1 :20 P. M.
for Gurnet. A baseball game and track events

issue.

J. S. Brown '13 will represent the Bowdoin
chapter of Kappa Sigma at the national conclave
of the fraternity to be held at Louisville, Ken-

Why not a Board of Arbitration to settle the
labor differences on the new Gym? We suggest
Professor Catlin, Assistant Professor Douglas,

and James C. McBain.

A band concert was held on the campus last
Friday evening, until the weather man, probably
thinking that we were trying to slip over a base-
ball game on him, sent a first class shower.

bell ?

The Orient wishes to announce that the re-
porter who wrote last week's baseball article say-
ing "Colby is out of the running" has been dis-
charged since last Wednesday's game with that
institution. Maine State papers please copy.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

alumni Department

'53. — The Orient regrets to announce the death
of Col. William P. Drew, one of Bowdoin's most
loyal and most interesting alumni. Mr. Drew
died at his home in Lansdowne, Penn., after a
brief illness subsequent to a paralytic shock.

Mr. Drew was born at Augusta, eighty-two
years ago, the son of Rev. W. A. Drew. He pre-
pared for college at Phillips-Exeter and entered
this college in the sophomore year. He was a
classmate and dear friend of the late Chief Jus-
tice Fuller.

After graduation, "Mr. Drew took graduate
work at Harvard, specializing in Greek and Latin.
From there he went to Tufts to accept the posi-
tion of Professor of Greek and Latin.

The position which he held in the world of let-
ters is shown by the fact that at the request of
Dr. Joseph Worcester, he was a collaborator in
the compilation of the Worcester's Unabridged
Dictionary which has been an undisputed author-
ity in matters pertaining to English.

Mr. Drew's activity at the time of the Civil
War is notable. At the beginning of the war, he
wes se~refary to Maine's war governor, Hon.
Israel Wasbburne. At the close of the war, that
other famous alumnus, Gen. Oliver O. Howard,
who was at the head of the Freemen's Bureau, ap-
pointed Mr. Drew head of the department of con-
fiscated and abandoned lands, which office he most
honorably filled until the Bureau passed out of ex-
istence. Mr. Drew was then appointed, his ability
having been clearly shown in the previous posi-
tion, Comptroller of Currency of the United
States Treasury Department and served in that
office for twenty years.

He was a quiet, scholarly man, whose real
worth was not appreciated except by those few
friends who in their close companionship realized
the sterling qualities of the man. However, his
quiet and pleasing manner made him one of the
most respected citizens of Landsdowne where he
resided for eighty years. An evidence of high
position he held among his fellow citizens is that
from Oct. 3, 1905 until his death, he held the posi-
tion of Librarian of the local Free Library, and
under his management the efficiency of this insti-
tution was greatly increased.

Mr. Drew's demise will be sincerely regretted
by many of the older Bowdoin graduates who
probably realized better than those of the outside
world the admirable qualities of this quiet unos-
tentatious man.

'52. — Bowdoin men will be interested to learn
that General Joshua L. Chamberlain has received

from President Taft a reappointment as Surveyor
of the Port of Portland. Gen. Chamberlain has
held this office for the past eight years. His loy-
alty has made him beloved by the undergraduates
as well as the alumni of the college.

'55. — The poem delivered by the late S. S.
Gardner at his Commencement has been added to
the College's store of interesting manuscripts.
This was possible through the kindness of Ray-
mond Fellows, Esq., of Bangor.

'58. — In the new Samuel Brown school building
at Peabody, Mass., has been placed a memorial
tablet to the honor of this illustrious graduate.
This tablet is of bronze and bears the following
inscription :

In memory of

—SAMUEL BROWN—

born Feb. 61, 1836.

A native of South Danvers

A graduate of her public schools

And Boivdoin College, Class of 1858.

In the early days of the Civil War

He organised and was commissioned

Captain Co. D, 16th Conn. Volunteers

and was killed at the

Battle of Antietam

Sept. 17, 1862.

A citizen, schoolmaster, and soldier

Admired and Esteemed.

'66. — Prof. Henry L. Chapman has recently

been elected a Fellow of the American Academy

of Arts and Sciences.

'yy. — Mr. Charles W. Morse has recently re-
turned from a trip abroad. While there he toured
Italy and Germany. When he left this country
his health was despaired of, but traveling and the
medical treatment that he received abroad has im-
proved his condition greatly. The citizens of his
home town, Bath, are planning a celebration in
his honor when he shall return to it.

'ii- — Arthur H. Cole '11 has been awarded a
scholarship in economics at Harvard.

MASQUE AND GOWN PLAY— IVY EVE

The first of the Ivy Week festivities was the
annual play produced by the Masque and Gown,
the College Dramatic Club. This year the club
presented "A Pair of Spectacles" in the Town
Hall, before a good sized audience. The parts
were well taken the leading characters being as-
sumed by old favorites. Cedric Crowell as Uncle
Gregory and Artie Welch as Benjamin Goldfinch
were especially good.

THE BUGLE- IVY MORNING

The 1913 edition of the Bugle— the sixty-
seventh volume of Bowdoin's annual publication
— appeared this morning. The book this year is a
good-sized volume, attractively bound in gray
cloth with red lettering — red and gray being the
class colors of 1913. The cover design is ex-
tremely simple but effective — being the Bowdoin
seal under the words "Bugle — 1913."

In contents this edition is the largest ever pub-
lished, containing 310 pages of reading matter ex-
clusive of advertisements. It is divided into the
usual departments — the statistics of the college,
the faculty, the classes and the fraternities ; the
Medical School of Maine, with its faculty, stu-
dents and fraternities ; the undergraduate activi-
ties, literary, social and athletic ; and finally, the
"grinds" — the humorous section of the book with
the usual hits on the undergraduates and faculty,
the class statistics and the college calendar for
the year.

The volume is dedicated by the class to Frank-
lin Conant Payson, LL.D. '76, of Portland, at
present a trustee of the College.

The book was published this year by Burleigh
& Flint of Aug'usta and bound by the F. H. Gilson
Company of Boston. Its appearance is a decided
credit to the publishers.

The editorial board which has issued the book
is elected by the junior class from the various
fraternities and the non-fraternity men. It is
made up as follows : Laurence A. Crosby, editor-
in-chief; Albert P. Cushman, business manager;
Edward O. Baker, Charles R. Bull, Cedric R.
Crowell, John E. Dunphy, Daniel E. Gardner,
I eon E. Jones, Luther C. Whittier, associate edi-
tors ; and Douglas H. McMurtrie, art editor.

ORATION

THE PENSION SYSTEM (AN ABSTRACT)

A short time ago a party of sightseers were
touring the capital of the United States for the
first time. "On your right," said the guide, point-
ing to a huge brick structure, "is the Great Na-
tional HAND-OUT, the Government Free-lunch
Counter. If any one of you runs out of cash
while in Washington, go to your Congressman,
he will see that you have pin-money for the rest
of your life."

One man of that party was inquisitive and
asked what the "Great National Hand-out" was.
"The Pension Office," was the answer. The man
was patriotic also, and was annoyed, to say the
least, at hearing the Pension Office thus sneered
at, and asked the guide why he had spoken in that
manner. "Do you know anything about the con-
duct of that Pension Bureau ?" the guide in turn
asked. The man confessed that he did not. "Then
you had better find out," was the laconic reply.

We must first of all realize that the regulations
governing the granting of pensions are made by
Congress and administered by a Pension Board
appointed by the President. This board, however,
has never been compelled to present any itemized
report to Congress, aside from giving the total
number of pensioners on the rolls, and the total
sum paid them. Furthermore the public has al-
ways been denied the privilege of examining the
records, and so it is seen that this board is allowed

BOWDOIN ORIENT

free rein to conduct the department as it wishes,
with no one being the wiser. Another possible
basis for political corruption was furnished when
Congress reserved the right to pass certain pen-
sion bills granting pensions to those who could not
get them under the ordinary laws, and thus Con-
gress, is likewise allowed to manipulate the sys-
tem as it may desire.

After the Civil War these opportunities were at
once taken advantage of by a class of men who
were largely responsible for the unfortunate con-
dition which exists today ; I refer to the claim
agents or pension attorneys. As illustrating the
methods used by these gentlemen we may take the
agency conducted by one George Lemon, who for
fifteen years did the largest pension business.
Lemon formed alliances with the different Pen-
sion Administrations and with influential Con-
gressmen, and was frank in advertising that he was
in a position to secure the granting of almost any
kind of claim, and that he would charge no fee in
any case unless the claim was granted. To spread
this glorious news among the veterans he pub-
lished the "National Tribune," ostensibly an inde-
pendent old-soldier newspaper, but conducted for
the sole purpose of his fraudulent pension busi-
ness. This newspaper enjoyed a large circulation,
and the combination worked so successfully that
Lemon is said to have made over half a million
dollars yearly. The other pension attorneys do
not make so much money, but their methods are
the same, and they are responsible for the fraud
and corruption which exists today.

We have before noted that the Pension Board
is allowed to do much as it pleases, since all that
it does is kept secret. Much depends, then, on
these men in charge of the Bureau. Beginning
with Cleveland's first administration, so that our
investigation may not seem too much like ancient
history, a review of the records of the Pension
Commissioners during Cleveland's two adminis-
trations and Harrison's administration shows that,
with the exception of William Lochren, the last
Commissioner under Cleveland, all these officers
were inexcusably extravagant in the granting of
pensions. Lochren's business-like administration
brought down storms of protest from those who
had been profiting from the wasteful system and
was the most important factor in the Democratic
defeat of 1888.

The Republican party coming into power with
this old-soldier patronage was compelled to re-
frain from any pension reform since, the only at-
tempt, one made by Commissioner Evans in Mc-
Kinley's administration, being promptly nipped in
the bud by sending the too conscientious Commis-
sioner abroad to occupy a Consulship. This old-

soldier vote is constantly being catered to by pass-
ing more generous pension legislation, and it is a
significant fact that one of the last acts the pres-
ent administration did before entering into the
present campaign was an appeal to this old-soldier
vote in the form of a pension bill which will swell
the total yearly amount spent for pensions 30 mil-
lion dollars. Already the yearly appropriation
amounts to 165 million dollars, a sum absolutely
beyond comprehension, more than the annual ex-
pense of maintaining the whole British Army.
Congress is constantly made brilliant with the
pyrotechnic oratory let loose in behalf of more
generous pensions, and a recent speech of Mr.
Cannon's, describing the awful suffering of the
soldiers and the ungratefulness of this country, is
said by one magazine writer to have brought
tears to the eyes of the marble effigies in Statuary
Hall.

To remedy this alleged stinginess on the part of
the Pension Bureau, Congress passes several
thousand acts each session granting pensions to
those who cannot get them from the Bureau.
Each Congressman has a certain number assigned
him for distribution among his friends. In order
to make it difficult for an investigator to discover
whether the beneficiaries of these special acts are
worthy or not their addresses are not given, the
act reading: — "To grant a pension of $100 a
month to John Jones of the 6th Mass. Infantry,"
and there is no way of discovering whether Jones
lives in Colusa, Cal., or Mexico, Me., unless his
comrades choose to give the information.

Cleveland said in one of his messages to Con-
gress, "If the veterans of the war knew all that
was going on in the matter of granting pensions
by private bills they would be more disgusted than
any other class of citizens," and we believe this
to be true. To include in the pension list among
the names of worthy soldiers, the names of
thieves, cowards, drunken rowdies, embezzlers,
and deserters is an insult to our Union Army as
monstrous as it is undeserved, and it is only be-
cause the rank and file of those remaining are
largely ignorant of the true condition of affairs
that it is allowed to exist. Is there any good rea-
son why the pension records should be kept
secret? Some may say, "Spare the old soldier the
publicity of being known the object of charity."
But he would not be so regarded. A pension roll
should be, and a purified pension roll would be, in-
deed a roll of honor, and like all rolls of honor,
like that roll of honor we of Bowdoin so prize and
love, should be placed where all could read and
understand.

When, by the force of a stimulated public opin-
ion, this is done, then and only then, can we as

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Americans point with honest pride to our policy
of paying to the soldiers who fought for us a por-
tion of that debt we owe them; then and only
then, will this pension system cease to be a sacri-
lege against the memory of the noble dead in
whose name it is perpetuated ; then, and only then,
will it cease to be a standing insult to those veter-
ans who remain; and instead of being a disgrace,
become the pride of all patriotic Americans.

The Song of the Fool.
The golden sun played o'er the court,
And spread his shadows on the tiles ;
Then, wearying, in idle sport
He thrust his finger in the fountain, whiles
It's shattered shaft to fragments fell
About the base. At last the fool
He sought, who dreamed and spurned
To join his pranks ; for in the cool
Recesses of the court he sat,
Content to watch him at his play.
The air grew languid with the heat so that
The fool at last did nod, and lay
Upon his bench and slept. Then grew
The sun more bold and crept
Up to the slipper of the fool and blew
Upon his eyes his light-beams as he slept.

"Sir fool," (the voice was as a knell,)

"His Majesty demands a song,

And in it thou shalt tell

The glories of the court. So fine a throng

Must not remain unsung."

The fool, his eyes yet caught in sleep,

Looked up dismayed and saw

The Chamberlain, a wileful man and deep,

Of haughty mien, whose word was law.

"A song, my Lord?

The sun has tricked my brain,

And sleep befogged mine eye.

A song, my Lord?

But list you, I am fain

To rest and would not try

My slender voice, my Lord."

"The task is set — no word will gain
Thee time. Thy song prepare,
Or ere this sun shall set again,
Thou diest ! Come, Thy song prepare."

Through the windows drifted music
In a dreamy low refrain —

Loud bassoon and silver flute tones,
Violins in treble strain.
'Midst the music, like a cobweb,
Laughter floated low and clear;
All the court was at its pleasure —
To the fool his death was near !

Drawn by some resistless impulse,

Past the grooms he slowly went,

To an alcove where in darkness

On the court his eye he bent.

All unseen (an arras hid him)

There he crouched and watched the play

Of the rainbow colors flashing

In the myriad tapers' ray.

Quick his heart leaped up, and highly
Beat, for surely it was true :
There was wealth of grace to sing of,
Something old and something new !

But soon he felt his ardor cool :
He knew them all too well, and they —
Full well they knew he was a fool
Who could but give them platitudes.
Yet had the king commanded, So
Perforce he'd sing and give them what
He could ; then to his dreaming go.

Again he turned to watch the crowd,

And looking, mused he thus :

Now there is Stidge, the scientific man,

Who sees the world in figure and in form.

He gazes at you as you were a wall,

And finds your smile is just below the norm.

Poor court ! he long has learned you all,

And put you in his catalogue ; and can

You by a word escape his dreadful law ?

And there is Bingle standing by the Que

A social bird that Bingle. With what grace
He dances — never tires. By his talk, I ween,
You'd call him brainless. Not a trace
Of worthy thought he owns !

The fool looked on, and saw his hope decay;
I might extol the soldiers — they at least are

strong ;
But, Heaven, they are gloried every day !
Do not the heralds over all the land
Proclaim their worth, these soldiers nine?
Oh, they will never do. Each courtly band
Has soldiers nine who fight, and what's to say
About such men as they ?

BOWDOIN ORIENT

I cannot sing of Kidge though he be wise
And wear a golden key ; for without books
He is a very dolt, and though he tries
He cannot say a human word, but looks
About with vacant stare. Yet ranks he high,
And all the books he's read he knows by heart.
But think of all the joy he lets go by !

But see that dreadful cripple by the door,
His brows all bound in ivy-chaplets gay,

And in his clutch a poet's scroll bedight
With words. Oh, that is Mudge. Each year
He wails an Ivy Poem, that is a crazy flight
Of words. The lines go limping short and long
(Small wonder the poor bard looks weak and

worn !)
But all the court talks on ; they hear no sound,
While Mudge wails on in vain his silly song.

The music flagged; the lights within the hall
Grew dim. The dancers left by two and two;
But still the fool watched on till all
Were gone. Then he, despairing, near the

window drew,
And pondered long. "So fine a throng
Must not remain unsung."
Forsooth, a goodly throng. But lo, my voice

is dead.
I cannot sing ! So wept the fool, and bowed

his head.

The silver sandalled dawn stole out apace,
And from her shoulders fell the cloak of night.
Reluctant still she hid her smiling face
And hovered shyly on the dewy height.

She looked upon the city in the plain,

All silent as the dwellings of the dead;

She saw the sleeping castle, and again

She saw the fool with mournful lowered head.

At first with sleepy hand,

And then more bold and true,

The sun pushed back from off the land,

The sulky shadows. Then anew,

In radiant strength he leaped

Above the hill, and laughed

For joy to see the fool so steeped

In woe, for all his dreamer's craft.

Fresh hope, and hear the song
That joyous nature sings.
Then tell the court, nor fear
Its kindly wrath, nor stings.

The willing fool heard nature's melody
And sang it to the waiting court that noon.

PLANTING OF THE IVY

This custom follows the Ivy exercises. While
the young shoot is being planted the class will sing
the following ode:

Air: — Wake, Freshman, Wake
O, Bowdoin, our Mother,
Rejoicing, we serve thee,
And plant our Ivy to thine honored name.
Our voices together,
We raise to acclaim thee,
And pay our homage to thy loving fame.

CHORUS

Hail ! hail ! Bowdoin hail !
We, the class of '13 sing thy praise.

This cry our token

That our love is unbroken,
And that we cherish all our college days.

Accept our class tribute,

Our love for thy guidance
And teach our class to ever honor thee-

With heartfelt emotion,

And deathless devotion,
Until the years of time shall cease to be.

CHORUS

— E. O. Baker.

STUDENTiJELECTIONS MONDAY
The Student Council held a meeting Monday at
which time it was decided to hold the annual
Spring election next Monday evening in Me-
morial Hall. At this meeting elections will be held
for members of the Student Council, assistant
managers of Track, Baseball, Tennis, and Fencing
and managers of the same. Members of the Ath-
letic Council will be elected also. The Coun-
cil also prepared finally the proposed constitution
for the Associated Student Body plan and the
constitution of the new Bowdoin Publishing Co.,
a part of the blanket tax scheme. A new plan of
electing assistant managers will also be submitted
to the student body. Copies of the proposed con-
stitutions are posted in the various fraternity
houses and at the bulletin board in the Library,
so that the studentibody may have a chance to ex-
amine the plan carefully before Monday evening
when they will be voted upon. This will be the
most important student meeting of the year.

BOWDOIN, 5; MAINE, 6— MAY 27

' In one of the most exciting games ever played
on Whittier Field, Maine won from Bowdoin, 6
to 5. Maine got away with a big lead in the first
four innings. Bowdoin came strong at the finish
and was barely defeated in a stirring last inning
rally.

The game abounded in long hits. The score :

BOWDOIN, 2; BATES, 1— JUNE 4
Bates' pennant hopes were dashed Tuesday
when Bowdoin triumphed in a hard fought game,
2 to 1. Both pitchers were in great form. But
four hits were made by either side. Captain
Means fanned 15 of his opponents, and 12 were
retired by Stinson. The prettiest fielding play of
the game was contributed by Link Skolfield, when
he captured a hit from Talbot's bat which looked
good for three bases, at least. The score :

ELECTIONS

The following men from the Junior Class were
elected to the Ibis at the recent elections : L. A.
Crosby, C. R. Crowell, E. O. Baker, J. E. Dunphy
and B. E. Holt. The initiation and banquet will
be held Saturday night.

The Band held an election of officers for next
year Tuesday evening, June 4. J. A. Lewis '15
was elected leader and C. A. Brown '14 was
chosen manager.

At a meeting of the Track "B" men held at
Webber's studio last Tuesday noon, Charlie Has-
kell '13 was unanimously elected captain of next
year's track team. Haskell won his letter this
year as a member of the cross country team, relay
team, and track team, both in the Maine State

Meet and New England Intercollegiate. He was
developed as an athlete entirely since entering col-
lege and his popularity and qualities as a leader
make him an ideal captain for next year's team.

The tennis team will not elect a captain this
spring owing to the fact that the loss of all the
matches made none eligible for the Tennis "B."
The election will probably be held at the termina-
tion of the Fall Tournament.

The Friars held their annual initiation and ban-
quet at Riverton on Saturday evening. The in-
itiates were Horace A. Barton, Clarence A.
Brown, Louis A. Donahue, Alfred E. Gray and
Elroy O. LaCasce, all of 1914.

CLUB AND COUNCIL MEETINGS
The Y.M.C.A. held its annual joint cabinet
meeting at New Meadows Inn, Monday, June 3.
A large number attended and a good time was en-
joyed by all.

The Class in English 7 is to hold a banquet at
New Meadows Inn Tuesday evening, June 11. As
one of the features of the course is after dinner
speaking and post prandial forensics, there is ex-
pected to be a lively interest in that part of the
evening's entertainment. W. R. Spinney '13 is in
charge of the affair.

A meeting of the Somerset County Club was
held at the Zeta Psi House, Friday evening, May
31, and the following officers were elected: Pres-
ident, C. B. Haskell '13; Vice-President, E. O. La-
Casce '14; Secretary-Treasurer, A. S. Merrill '14;
Executive Committee, F. I. Cowan '13, O. p'.
Badger '14, E. H. Austin '15.

ATHLETIC RESULTS
eastern intercollegiate
Bowdoin's only representative at the Eastern
Intercollegiate Track Meet in Philadelphia Satur-
day, Harry Faulkner, took third place in the broad
jump with a leap of 22 feet, y/2 inches. Penn-
sylvania won the meet with 28 points, Cornell was
second with 17^ points, Michigan third with 15,
and Harvard and Columbia tied for fourth with
13 points. The world's record in the pole vault
was broken and new college records set up in the
two-mile, quarter, half-mile, and shot put.

BOWDOIN INTERSCHOLASTIC TENNIS

The Bowdoin Interscholastic Tennis Tourna-
ment was pulled off last Saturday with six schools
competing: Bangor High, Portland High, Cony
High, Edward Little High, Hebron, and Thorn-
ton. Ennis of Thornton captured the honors in
singles, and Whitehouse and Mansfield of Port-
land High in doubles.

LONGWOOD TOURNAMENT

Amherst won first place in both singles and

BOWDOIN ORIENT

doubles in the New England Tennis Tournament
at Longwood last week, Johnston and Miller win-
ning the doubles and Johnston the singles. Bow-
doin's team was defeated in the preliminary
rounds. In the singles Bacon of Wesleyan, who
was runner-up, beat Capt. MacCormick, and Con-
ger of Williams beat Shepherd, and in the doubles
Nelson and Webber of Dartmouth beat Shepherd
and Chapman.

NEW BOWDOIN SONG PUBLISHED
Professor Chapman's song "Onward Bowdoin"
has been set to music and printed, and David W.
Snow, Esq. '73, the donor of the "Song Cup," has
made it possible for all to learn it without delay
by the generous gift of five hundred copies. The
clerk at the charging desk in the Library will at-
tend to the distribution. Every student is entitled

RESOLUTIONS
Hall of Delta Upsilon, June 4, 1912.
The recent death of Samuel Wiggin Pearson of
the Class of 1S62 has removed from the Chapter
one of our oldest and most respected brothers.
After graduation Brother Pearson studied at the
Bangor Theological Seminary from 1863 to 1866.
From that time until 1883 he held pastorates in
different churches in the State. In 1883 he rel
tired from the ministry and engaged in business.
Throughout his life Brother Pearson was a high-
minded and conscientious citizen.

In behalf of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity and
the Bowdoin Chapter, we extend our sincere sym-
pathy to his family.

The Fundamental Loyalties — John 18:37

(Abstract)

The College expects from every man of you
four loyalties : the loyalty that puts the integrity
of the home above any pleasure disloyalty can
offer : the loyalty that rates the worth of good
work squarely done above any profits dishonesty
can gain : the loyalty that holds the rights and in-
terests of the people dearer than any honors or
favors corruption can buy : the loyalty that ranks
God's justice and kindness supreme over all temp-
tation to the selfish and the mean.

The alumnus who would be loyal to his college
alone is no alumnus at all ; is never a welcome
sight upon the college campus.

Go out into the world and conquer something
there. Then when you have proved true to your
fathers and mothers, or to wife and children of
your own; when you have some useful business or
profession well in hand; when you are doing
something to make your community and country
more free, prosperous, healthy and happy ; when
you are filling the place God gives you in the way
He wills you to fill it ; then come back bringing
your sheaves with you, and you will be alumni in-
deed ; thrice and four times welcome ; for through
your loyalty to the four objects the College stands
for, — home, work, country, God, — you will prove
your loyalty to her in the one way for which she
supremely cares ; and win the everlasting right to
be her well-beloved sons.

ORATION— CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
(Abstract)
"In Bowdoin the pleasing contact with the Fac-
ulty shows the student what an immense amount
there is still to be learned. Some time during his
senior year, and it seems rather sad, he realizes
what an extensive field lay before him as a Fresh-
man and how little he has explored it. Surely
the opportunities for the development of one's in-
dividuality in a small college are infinite.

It has occurred to more than one that too many
students in college have too much to do. In our
undergraduate activities we try to counterfeit the
relations of life as we expect to find them when

BOWDOIN ORIENT

we graduate. It has long since been commented
upon that the pursuit of independent research
work by the students has quite died out. This
raises a serious question, are we devoting time to
petty college businesses that could better be put
upon a deeper study of the humanities? Isn't
there a danger that in losing ourselves in objec-
tive ends we shall develop business capacity but
neglect the philosophy that must underlie our ac-
tions ?

Those who believe that the undergraduate is
too busy to do an adequate amount of thinking
cite the fact that few college men are accustomed
to take time to meditate. It is true that if you talk
with an undergraduate confidentially about such
matters he will react, but on the whole there seems
to be what we may term a ''social pressure" that
forbids such discussion.

In a small college where everyone knows every-
body else the student body is apt to be a social
group, and there is a possibility that the movement
-of the crowd will carry the individual along with
it. As Bowdoin men we have a different stamp
from the men of other colleges, and we are proud
of it. Yet there is a tendency that militates
against a man's growing in the direction his in-
dividuality leads him. The interests of the in-
dividual tend to become the interests of the col-
lege, but the interests of the college are not neces-
sarily those of the majority of the undergraduates.
For instance, every undergraduate does not feel
the strong enthusiasm in athletics which the col-
lege calls for, but such are not to be censured.

It has been said that the small college is no
place for a genius. As a social group, indeed, we
provide no garrets for seclusion, but at least let us
give full credit to such individuality as manifests
itself, for as of tastes, so of individualities, which
comes to the same thing, there must be no discus-
sion.

We are here for the development of character
and there is no course offered in college which
does not afford a broad field for this. Individual
development has two aspects. First it is con-
cerned with intellectual honesty and secondly it is
concerned with the realization and cultivation of
one's tastes and capacities. Honesty to self, self
knowledge and self development are fundamental.
This is brought home to us in the translation of
foreign languages, and even more so in the teach-
ing of English.

Our business here is character building, and
in this the most important elements are an inten-
sive study of the humanities and intimate relations
with our fellow students. In the furtherance of
the latter I believe a college commons would be a
valuable aid. By this I do not mean merely a

place where all the students meet together at meal
times, but a place where one can go and take his
friends and enjoy a quiet discussion over a cup of
tea. Every circumstance would conspire to make
it a success. Already the most friendly relations
exist between the students, between students and
Faculty, and between the fraternities. The suc-
cess of such an institution would depend upon the
democracy of the student body and for that reason
it would have every hope of success. If I have in-
dulged in the statement that we do not know each
other well enough here in college it is surely not
because we are undemocratic. There is no more
democratic group of men than the undergraduates
of Bowdoin. Here among us honesty, ability,
frankness, and gentlemanliness receive their high-
est rewards, and it is upon this rock foundation
that we confidently believe the future of the col-
lege rests.

POEM— EUGENE FRANCIS BRADFORD

OPENING ADDRESS- BURLEIGH C. RODICK

The Sense of Obligation.

It is indeed with a deep sense of pleasure that
we bid you be present at our last happy exercises
as undergraduates and in behalf of the Class of
1912 I extend to each and every one of you a most
sincere and cordial welcome.

As we look back on the four years spent here
we feel a deep Sense of Obligation to our friends
and to the College for all they have done for us.

Our Sense of Obligation to our relatives and
friends who have helped to make a college career
possible is strong, lasting and fundamental. It is
due to your sacrifices, your words of encourage-
ment and your faith in us that we are here today.
This is our Sense of Obligation to you and we
shall not soon forget.

Then there is the Sense of Obligation that we
feel toward the College for all that it has offered
us and all that we have received from it. No man
could live up to all of its opportunities but all of
us have received some share of those rich rewards
so eloquently pictured by President Hyde in his
oft-quoted words describing the offer of the Col-
lege.

This may well lead us to consider for a few mo-
ments just how we shall bear this Sense of Obli-
gation which we feel toward our friends and the
College for if this Sense of Obligation is a true
one it involves much more than the mere state-
ment of it here this afternoon. It is hardly neces-
sary to say that in return for the advantages that
have been bestowed upon us we in our turn must

BOWDOIN ORIENT

enter actively into the work of the world, — we
must enter actively into the game of life.

And how shall we play the game? Play it
strenuously but how else? The Sense of Obliga-
tion that we owe our friends and the College for
opportunities that have been given us as well as
the traditional spirit of Old Bowdoin says, "Fair
play and may the best man win." But the game
of life is not a fair game when every man is not
given an equal opportunity with every other man.
As Bowdoin men, then, it becomes our duty to
fight for a greater equality of opportunity, to give
every man his chance as we have been given our
chance. This fight for fair play, this struggle to
give every man his chance, is typified today in the
great world-wide struggle for Democracy. I be-
Jieve that in this great struggle most Bowdoin
men will be found on the right side. And the
need is great for I believe the great evil that be-
sets the college man today is a loss of the common
touch. Wrapped in his aristocracy of learning he
not only fancies himself infinitely superior to the
average man but is utterly without a Sense of
Obligation to him. Only recently no less an au-
thority than Justice Hughes, himself a college
man and speaking before an audience of college
men said that he had found the college man as un-
democratic, as selfish and as lacking in public con-
science as the man who had not had his advan-
tages.

Yet in education lies the hope of Democracy.
True it is that fundamentally the college is borne
upon the bent shoulders of the workers. Her un-
dergraduates are entrusted to her guidance at the
expense of extra toil that they may "learn to di-
vine the laws of the great movements of society"
and with such means as their talents endow them,
seek to alleviate the drudgery of those who have
patiently labored that we might learn. This is the
opportunity of the college man to nobly save or
meanly lose the last best hope of earth. This is
the problem that every man of us in whatever
walk of life we enter, will have to face. For un-
der whatever guise we find it, the problem of
Democracy is the same, that of giving an equal
opportunity to all members of society.

Therefore it is plain that the pressing problem
of today in every phase of life is the demand for
equal opportunity. And now in conclusion let me
"bring the solution more clearly home to you. Peo-
ple are prone to strike at the symbol and fail to
see that the real heart of the evil can be altered
only by moral forces. "The antidote for the abuse
of formal government," declared Emerson, "is the
influence of private character, the growth of the
individual." Therefore the solution does not lie
primarily in legislation or in the support of any

political party, propaganda or creed. But as far
as the college man is concerned the solution does
lie right here. We as college men must be gripped
by an inner consciousness, the essence of which is
an all-compelling Sense of Obligation to Society
for the opportunities Society has conferred upon
us. Then shall we see that every man is given an
equal opportunity with every other man. Then
shall we be prepared to right the wrongs of the
moral, social and industrial world. Then and
then only shall we see that every Obligation that
friends and College have conferred upon us is ful-
filled.

HISTORY— ARTHUR D. WELCH

If it lay within my power, I should present to
you today a history of the Class of 1912, edition-
de-luxe with gold tipped pages bound in the finest
vellum and sincerely recording from day to day
the progress from collegiate infancy to magnifi-
cent manhood of the largest class that ever came
to Bowdoin College. Its history demands such
treatment. But greatness is too often accom-
panied by forgetful biographers. There is de-
mand for more Boswells, and they are not forth-
coming. The best that I can do is to offer just a
hint of what has been done by a class that has
for four years looked collegiate responsibility in
the eye, and has never failed to be actively inter-
ested in anything that the college has made its
own, in anything that has spelled Bowdoin.

This is not said in a spirit of vainglory but is
rather meant to be a careful assessment. If there
is anyone characteristic that has distinguished
1 9 12 it has been a marked tendency to make its
interests as broad as possible, and has shown
great versatility, desiring to avoid specialization
either in athletics or any other of the undergrad-
uate activities. Our life has been one of thrilling
interest to us. It must be of some interest to you.

There must be something of interest for any-
body in the life of youth during its four supreme-
ly happy years. As you well know, the Senior is
proverbially granted an air of fearful and won-
derful erudition, while the Freshman is always
painted in the bashful, helpless attitude which
college cartoonists have fondled so lovingly. I
feel sure that as you gaze at this eminent body of
scientists and men of letters at my left you are
convinced that they can never have been other-
wise. And yet at one time we possessed a bewil-
dered attitude of willing belief.

There were 115 of us when we first gathered
over there in King Chapel for our first class rush.
We have lost 40 of our crew since then, but we
still retain our numerical leadership among the
college classes.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

In the very first game that fall 1912 had placed
four men on the varsity eleven. But our dignity
was sufficiently restrained by a certain razoo night,
and by wearing a kind of straw akin to the Merry
Widow, then in vogue. But we recall with great
gusto that 191 1 suffered in consequence in the
-class football game, and that we rang the chapel
bell, after two rushes.

The fight had begun. 1912 was on the under-
graduate activity warpath. I have often felt
when some members of the class were reappear7
ing on Whittier Field or in Memorial Hall to re-
cord the fact that they were again "out," that I
ought to feel proud to claim any sort of allegiance
to a class which had some members who hadn't
the faintest notion of when they were licked.

We gave 1910, packed as it was with track men,
the run of her life at the Indoor Meet that year,
and have won every Indoor Meet since that time,
yet track has been far from being specialized in
by 1912. But all these good things came to an
end, Freshman year was a thing of the past, and
that strange mixture of content and discontent,
high thinking and care free happiness was gone
never to be forgotten.

In the fall of 1909 we made a commendable ef-
fort to organize the Class of 1913. Perhaps in the
course of time we shall gain the reward of seeing
1913 realize something of our paternal desire for
its success. That was a fat year from the view-
point of athletics, and 1912 did yeoman duty to
make it what it was. In the class games we were
also successful in baseball, and lost in football
only through the stress of circumstances.

It seems almost a useless effort to record Junior
year. It was so full of things which happened
but yesterday. To live some phases of the last
two years over again would be Paradise enow.
But that may not be. They are gone from us now
in our old age.

It is of course one of the regrettable things
about college life that we cannot bring to bear
upon Freshman year Senior year's appreciation
and understanding. It is as impossible in college
as it is in life. Accordingly if there is anything
that 1912 has gained more than any other this
year it has been an appreciation of all that college
means. We were but human when we could not
earlier realize the value of the privilege of being
allowed to sit in the class rooms of some of the
older members of the Faculty.

We lost Dick White when the Titanic went
down, a man strong of arm and broad of brain,
and a friend and classmate whose heart was ever
open, and whose smile was ever a benediction.
But we can triumph that in the stress of those ter-
rible circumstances he played the hero.

We are here a little while, and again a little
while and we shall be here no longer. And when
we are gone, we shall soon be forgotten . But if
there is any legacy that I sincerely believe the
class of 1912 can leave to the college, it is the
legacy of kindly word, the legacy of the morning
face, the friendly smile. If there is anything we
have tried to kindle, it has been an appreciation of
the best in each other, and a blindness to the
faults that each one of us possesses. Our little
efforts may die with us, but we are content. We
know that we have cultivated friendships here,
that are not concerned with commencement exer-
cises or honorary degrees, but are better, purer,
more lasting things. Triumphantly, contentedly
we go forth from Bowdoin, despite our sorrow at
leaving, knowing with the song that "we hold the
league of heart to heart the only purpose of the
earth."

PARTING ADDRESS— FRANK A. SMITH

(Abstract)

For the most of us this season of the year is full
of happiness and good cheer. Around us all na-
ture seems to rejoice, while in our midst are wel-
come friends and loved ones, who are pleased to
know that we have successfully finished four good
years at Bowdoin.

As Seniors we feel glad to think of the hard
work behind us while we also experience much of
the excitement the athlete feels on the eve of a
great game, for soon 1912 as the youngest alumni
of Bowdoin College will be playing the real game
of life on a field that takes in the whole world.
This, our formal parting, cannot be otherwise
than solemn as we in a plain, humble manner bid
farewell to the dearest spot on earth.

The growth of each individual of our class may
be likened to the construction of the long-hoped-
for building which is now rearing its walls on the
campus. That structure, like many others, stands
for the love and sacrifice of Bowdoin men and
Bowdoin friends, so our lives are beautified by
the love and sacrifice of many people living and
dead.

Our foundations were laid in the home ; begun
at mother's knee ; made firm by the love of family
and mother's religion. Here in college we have
found the best of material for our superstructure
and slowly, as we see yonder building grow brick
by brick, stone by stone, thus have our lives been
developed by those things to which we now pay
our parting tribute.

As we gaze about this campus for the last time
we are impressed at the sight of the Science
Building, where such men as Professor Lee and
Professor Robinson lived and worked; of Hub-

COMMENCEMENT DINNER— 1 P. M.

Immediately following the graduation exercises
today occurred the Commencement Dinner in
Memorial Hall. The features of the exercises at
the dinner were the presentation of the Peary bust
and the annual speech by President Hyde.

The bust is presented by the Class of 1877,
Peary's graduating class. It is the work of Wil-
liam Ordway Partridge of New York City. The
bust was made shortly before Peary's last and
successful trip to the Pole. It is of bronze and
presents the famous discoverer in a meditative
mood. It is a little larger than life size. Admiral
Peary was present at the dinner.

President Hyde's speech is presented below in
abstract.

THE POLICY OF BOWDOIN COLLEGE

Bowdoin College devotes three million dollars
to training three hundred men; has a professor
for every dozen students ; preceptorial groups
with a professor for every five students; one
course with six professors for six picked stu-
dents; excludes alike the dissipated and irrespon-
sible rich and the stupid and indolent poor ; prom-
ises no financial aid to any man in advance but
one of thousands of dollars set apart for sceolar-
ships and assistantships gives every resourceful
and diligent poor man all the help he needs ; elects
and retains professors exclusively on the basis of
their power to instruct, interest, and inspire the
students, and admits and retains students exclu-
sively on the basis of their ability to profit by such
interesting and inspiring instruction; gives the
students free choice of their studies, and protects
that freedom from abuse, not by arbitrary regula-
tions, but by personal advice to the individuals;
sets standards high and keeps them where they
are set even when that means keeping the num-
bers low; shares interests with the students that
they may share ideals with the professors ; offers
social equality to all, and opposes extravagance
and vice with a multitude of moral and wholesome
pleasures ; sends its best scholars with liberal fel-
lowships into graduate study and organizes its
alumni to help the young graduate to a fair start
in his chosen vocation ; in short raises and spends
money generously ; picks both professors and stu-
dents carefully; organizes work and play effec-
tively ; all with an eye single to making trained,
useful, honorable men of the limited number of
students who, without inducement or solicitation,
chose the college on its merits and prove worthy
of so costly a training.

ANNOUNCEMENT TO STUDENTS

The Board of Managers wish to bring before
the student body the importance of securing im-
mediate success in the working out of the blanket
assessment scheme under their direction as pro-
vided in the Constitution of the A.S.B.C., adopted
at the Student Meeting June 10.

The annual assessment will be fifteen dollars,
''ectible, seven dollars and a half at the begin-
ning of each semester. The date of payment next
fall and at all other times will be the first three
days of the semester. On these dates the repre-
sentatives of the Board of Managers will be at
the office in the new gymnasium, or at such other
place as will be announced by posters to receive
the assessment and issue coupons of membership
to all students. The coupon of admission entitles
the holder to all privileges of the organizations
included within the Associated Student Body.
For the successful working of the scheme the
Board found it necessary to make a provision that
those students who do not pay on the dates of
payment shall forfeit their right to membership
and privileges in the A.S.B.C. for the ensuing
semester, unless special arrangement shall be
granted by the Board. The entire success or fail-
ure of the plan depends upon the payment of the
assessment on the assigned dates by every student
in College. This is a chance for real College loy-
alty and Bowdoin spirit to display itself. Remem-
ber, this is not a subscription system and no solic-
iting will be done. The payment is purely a vol-
untary matter and rests upon the honor and spirit
of the student body.

Board of Managers.

The Orient is not publishing the by-laws adopt-
ed by the Board and the Constitutions adopted by
the Student Body, because of the fact that the
new Student Council will probably issue a book-
let next fall containing these various constitutions
and by-laws together with Athletic Council and
Student Council by-laws and constitutions.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

bard Hall, the gift of a generous son of Bowdoin ;
of Memorial Hall, with its testimony of Bow-
doin's honor roll stamped on its bronze tablets; of
Massachusetts Hall, through the doors of which
Bowdoin men have passed for a century. To the
Bowdoin men living and dead who have made this
college possible, we owe an inestimable debt.

And within King Chapel we have found that
sacred atmosphere which lifts our thoughts to the
highest, purest things in life. Many times in the
soft light of the closing Sabbath day have we lis-
tened to the words of our honored President and
have been made by them better men. In him we
have found a true example of the college mam
when he fearlessly attacked evil or firmly stood
for right. His kindness and sympathy, clothed in
a certain natural dignity, have won our love and
admiration.

There remains one more great factor which has
helped us in building well, that is the friendships
of classmates. We all have been severed from the
life of a dear, honored member of our class ; and
while we have much to be thankful for this day,
our hearts go out in sympathy to the noble mother
who yearns for the boy she so tenderly reared.
While we are saddened by this vacant place with-
in our ranks yet our hearts swell with pride and
we think with greatest admiration of the nobility
with which he met his death. "Greater love hath
no man than this that he lay down his life for his
friends." The last minutes of Dick White's life
were spent in assisting, assuring and strengthen-
ing the hearts of the weak and helpless that they
might live.

Men of the Class of 1912, we have the highest
example life can furnish to measure up to, and the
noble death of one of our number must bear fruit
in our lives. So wherever we go, to whatever
work we are called whether great or small, may
we too catch Dick White's spirit with that forget-
fulness of self, and, trusting in life's great Pilot,
may we answer with the best that is in us.

SMOKING PIPE OF PEACE
THE FAREWELL ODE

Tune : America.
The time has come when we
Of Nineteen hundred twelve
Must say good-bye.
Fond mem'ries we'll recall
Of campus, tower and hall
Of fellowships have all
That will not die.

Yet may no sadness dim

The happiness complete
Of this glad day.
May we instead feel pride
To swell the mighty tide
Of those gone far and wide
From Bowdoin's sway.

And as those gone before
Have fought and vict'ries won
In Bowdoin's name.
So may our purpose be
To do whatever we
Shall as our duty see
In Bowdoin's fame.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Among the many final meetings of the college
year were the meetings and banquets of the Bow-
doin Debating Course and that of the Y.M.C.A.
Joint Cabinets. Both of these affairs were very
successful.

The Board of Managers have held several
meetings and have drawn up a set of by-laws for
their own use as provided for in the Constitution
of the A.S.B.C. The organization for next fall
has been planned and the budgets examined and
the appropriations made. Paul Donahue has
been elected Secretary of the Board.

The Student Body held a meeting June 10, at
which the Constitution of the Associated Students
of Bowdoin College was formally adopted and the
Constitution of the Bowdoin Publishing Co., a
part of the previous plan was also adopted. The
annual elections followed.

At the Sophomore Banquet held at the Fal-
mouth Hotel, Saturday, June 8, C. A. Brown was
toastmaster and the following toasts were given :
Opening address, J. B. Lappin; the Class, R. D.
Leigh ; Wherefore, H. A. Barton ; Closing ad-
dress, A. E. Gray.

At the Freshman Banquet held at the West End
Hotel Saturday, June 8, G. A. McWilliams acted
as toastmaster and the following responded to
toasts : H. M. Somers, Opening address ; J. A.
Lewis, 1915; G. C. Thompson, Course Jokes; C.
T. Perkins, The Chapel Belle ; I. C. Merrill, Wine,

THE APRIL QUILL— Review

The April number of the Quill contains — beside
two biographical sketches of Bowdoin men — two
stories, a poem and "Ye Postman."

Of the two sketches, the first — by Edward B.
Merrill '57 — is a eulogy of the late James McKeen
'64, Overseer of the College since 1886. The ac-
count of his life and character must be an inspira-
tion to every Bowdoin man. He was

"Of ancient race by birth, but nobler yet
In his own worth, and, without title, great."

Dean Kenneth C. M. Sills '01 contributes an ap-
preciation of Richard Frazar White '12, the re-
membrance of whose brief life will not soon fade :
rather will it uphold many a college mate as he
goes out into the "dust and confusion" of the
world, which White has been spared.

"He who is not forgotten is not dead."

So youth joins age in leaving us a splendid
legacy ; and Bowdoin is the richer for our memory
of these lives.

W. F. Eberhardt's The Smile of Admiration is
a monologue, in which a Mexican tells of his love
for an American girl, whose motor-car injured
him on Broadway. She nursed him, took sisterly
dinners with him, her "smile of desprecio" giving
place to one "of amicio" ; and finally, — as he dis-
covers that she is married and determines to go
away, — it turns to one "of admiration." "It is a
great thing to die for a woman, but it is a greater
to live for one," says the Mexican. The sketch is
not without interest, and is pleasantly written ; but
it fails to move us deeply.

New York is also the scene of The Man Who
Was Made Over, an amusing story by Kenneth A.
Robinson. It, too, has a moral: "be satisfied."
An ugly department-store clerk, falling in love
with a beautiful girl who presides over a neigh-
boring counter, gives his small fortune to a
"beauty-doctor," only to find that Alice preferred
him as he was. We can only hope that the new-
made Adonis found another girl to comfort him,
since the author informs us he could not be re-
stored to his pristine ugliness. The reader of this
sad tale will doubtless not seek Dr. Spratt's Der-
matological Institute without informing his bride-
to-be of the pleasure in store for her on his re-
turn.

The Lamp of Life (by P. L. W.) is rather phil-
osophic than poetic. It might be called didactic,
if it taught a lesson, but as it doesn't, we may con-
sider it expository. The verse is not without im-
agination ; but we cannot help wondering what
will happen to all the lamps when the sunshine,
referred to in the last line, comes. Perhaps the
author has mixed his metaphors : let him not be
downcast, however; — Shakespeare did it before
him !

Ye Postman compliments the Radcliffe Maga-
zine, the Haverfordian and the University of Vir-
ginia Magazine; he reprints a bit of verse from
the last periodical. His praise of these three is
not extended to a fourth exchange, however.
"I swear 'tis better to be much abused
Than but to know 't a little."

(To comfort the contributors to this publica-
tion, we quote from Othello.)

The editors of the Quill are to be congratulated
on getting out a number that maintains the high
standard of the past. It is distinctly readable, —
which is no slight praise, — and is marred by but
few typographical errors. Magazines which have
none are, — to quote Mr. White, — too much "like
things Divine" to be expected "for human na-
ture's daily food," — to quote somebody else.

Review of the
Year

As we look backward over the

record for the year, we see

that it is one mingled with de-

(- feat and success; in which the passing athletic

defeats are harrowing to the undergraduates ; but

in which the permanent successes will make the

year one to be remembered.

In athletics, Bowdoin though defeated often
was never taunted with the charge of a quitting
team. The football eleven fought to the end
against heavy odds, and tied for second place in
the State Championship Race. The cross country
team lost to Vermont by a close score and won
from Bates. In the winter season, the relay team
hung up a victory for the White by defeating
Tufts by a wide margin at the B.A.A. games.
The fencing team was unsuccessful against Har-
vard. The track meet on Whittier Field was a
disappointment, but in that disappointment ap-
peared the assurance of a winning team to be de-
veloped from the green material of this year's
squad. It was not a victorious year for the tennis
team. In baseball, the team was slow in getting
under way with the result that they tied for last
place, although the team showed championship
form in winning the last two games on the sched-
ule.

But while the athletic year was not marked with
a line of victories, and while the debating teams
lost to Wesleyan and New York University, there
were successes which will be permanent. The
adoption of the blanket tax marks such a perma-
nent advance, for it assures ample support to each
activity without overtaxing the managers or the
undergraduates themselves. Mr. Welch's victory
in the New England Oratorical League contest
places Bowdoin to the fore in this form of compe-
tition with her sister colleges. The year with col-
lege publications has been a successful one. The
Quill has been ranked second in excellence among
college literary magazines. The Bugle met with
approval ; and the Orient has attempted by
changing the date and place of publication to give
its readers increased service. As the greatest suc-
cess of all stands out the completion of the cam-
paign for the new gymnasium. The College may
look on the buildings now nearly completed with
the knowledge that the gym ranks as one of the
best in the country and that this alone marks a red
letter year in the undergraduate life of Bowdoin.

The Faculty has had a very prosperous year
and many improvements have been made in the
curriculum and the college affairs in general.
Chief among these changes is the new English 8
course. An improvement for which both Faculty
and students are to be congratulated is the organi-
zation of the new Non-Fraternity Club, or "Bow-
doin Club," as it is called. This, we believe, is the
greatest forward step of the year, leading as it
probably will to the formation of a college com-
mons, and resulting at least in a more democratic
student spirit.

ELECTIONS

The Bugle Board for the 1914 Annual has been
chosen as follows : Editor-in-chief, A. E. Gray ;

BOWDOIN, 5; BATES, 4-IVY DAY, JUNE 7

To tell the story of the great eighteen inning
victory over Bates on Ivy Day would require
more space than the more recent commencement
features will permit. Suffice it to say that it was
the longest, most exciting, and interesting college
game ever pulled off on a Maine college diamond.
Capt. Means ended his brilliant college pitching
career by the best exhibition of endurance, grit
and pitching ability he ever displayed since don-
ning the Bowdoin uniform. "Bud". Brooks had all
kinds of hard luck, receiving three different in-
juries, but gave an excellent exhibition of Bow-
doin spirit in the way he stopped Means' speedy
shoots. In the last of the 18th after the excited
and hungry crowd had seen attempt after attempt
to bat out a victory by either team fail, Bob
Weatherill lifted a beautiful two bagger which
scored Brooks and brought in the winning run.
In the nth after the score had been tied in the
eighth, Bates brought in a run and the game
looked bad for the White until Neal Tuttle, ap-
pearing for the first time in a Bowdoin uniform,
lied the score with a beautiful home run which
sent Bates' left fielder sprinting up trie 220
straightaway. The Bowdoin infield and outfield
played fine ball after the first inning, only one run
being scored upon them during the next seven-
teen.

There will be a number of additions to the Fac-
ulty next year, three of whom have been at Har-
vard during the past year.

Joseph Stancliffe Davis, A.M., Ph.D., Harvard,
is to be an instructor in Economics and Sociology,
in addition to Professor Catlin. While in college
Mr. Davis was on an intercollegiate debating team
which defeated Yale and won the Coolidge De-
bating Prize. He was secretary of the Phillips
Brooks House while an undergraduate. He is a
brother of Professor William H. Davis.

Alfred Otto Gross, Ph.D*, Harvard, is to be in-
structor in Biology under Professor Copeland.
Mr. Gross received his A.B. from the University
of Illinois and has been doing graduate work at
Harvard for the past three years.

Walter Theodore Brown, A.B. Toronto 1907;
A.M. Toronto 1908; Ph.D. Harvard 1912, is to be
instructor in Psychology to take the place of Dr.
Burnett who will be on a leave of absence next
year. Mr. Brown has been an assistant in Phil-
osophy 4 (Ethics) at Harvard during the past
year.

At the head of the new Department of Music
will be Edward Hames Wass of Augusta. Mr.
Wass is Director of the Choral Art Society of
Augusta and also director of the Maine Festival
Chorus of that part of the State. He is the organ-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

ist at St. Mark's Church of Augusta and has been
director of the choir at the Church on the Hill.
He was also director of the Musical Clubs for the
last three years.

The Administrative Number of the Bowdoin
College Bulletin, recently issued, contains much
material of interest to all alumni and undergrad-
uates of the College. The Dean's report contains
a list of the "Popular Men," and their records in
and out of College. The President's report con-
tains much interesting information and a number
of the points in it were up for discussion this
week, among them, the new Music course and
Non-Fraternity Club.

The new General Catalogue of the College and
the Medical School of Maine has been issued to
the alumni this week. This is the fourth edition
of the work in English. The first of these cata-
logues issued in 1889 was preceded by the Latin
Triennials of which there were 23 published. The
volume numbers 500 pages, nearly twice the size
of the last volume, and contains over 6000 names.
The book contains many interesting statistics and
is a very distinct credit to the College. The Li-
brarian has had charge of the difficult task of pub-
lishing it.

One hundred dollars has been given to the Col-
lege to be used in prizes for the best Bowdoin
song. Fifty dollars of this sum will be awarded
to the best song and fifty dollars for the best
musical setting for the song which has won the
prize. The contest is open to both graduates and
undergraduates. The time limit for the first con-
test is Dec. 1912, and for the music April 1, 1913.
Other details of the contest will be announced in
the fall.

A series of articles entitled The Social Usurpa-
tion of Our Colleges by Owen Johnson is running
serially in Collier's Weekly and is exciting a great
deal of comment in the college world and world
at large. The institutions already treated are
Yale, Harvard and Princeton. These articles are
worth while for any student to read whether he
agrees with the author in his denunciation of the
social life of the colleges or not.

Of especial interest from a Bowdoin standpoint
in the light of the recent widespread discussion of
college social systems is an article by William R.
Spinney '13, which appeared in the current issue
of the intercollegiate Magazine, entitled What the
Fraternities Must Do. This article, which space
forbids us to comment upon more generally, deals
with the needs and excellence of the social system
existant at this institution, and the problems con-
fronting the backbone of our Bowdoin organiza-

To secure a degree at Kansas the student, even
though a co-ed. must be able to show a certificate
of proficiency in swimming.

Hereafter all undergraduates at Michigan have
to fill out cards giving a list of their campus ac-
tivities. This plan is the result of the desire on
the part of the faculty to have complete record
of the personnel of student organizations.

'23. — Mrs. Sarah Frances Hitchcock, the
daughter of the late William George Crosby, who
was Governor of this State, 1853-54, one of the
famous members of his illustrious class, died May
24th. She was the widow of John Hitchcock, a
prominent Boston business man and died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. W. D. Hunt, in
Brookline.

'40. — A picture of Rev. Edward Robie '40, Bow-
doin's oldest living graduate, appeared in the Bos-
ton Sunday Globe recently.

'42. — Mrs. Georgiana Butterworth Gannett, the
widow of Dr. George Gannett, died May 25th in
Boston. Dr. Gannett was one of our prominent
alumni in the educational world. He founded,
and until his death was principal of, the Gannett
Institute, one of the leading girls' finishing
schools of the Hub.

'62. — A new book of poems has been recently is-
sued by Isaac Bassett Choate of this class, entitled
"The Singing Heart." Many of the poems deal
with music and song, and interwoven in the very
poems themselves is a rhythmic motion which is
very pleasing. The songs in this book are of an
inspiring, optimistic nature for the most part, and
its effect on the reader is most refreshing. In-
deed, the author well describes the effect of his
own work when he writes :

"It lingers long

Among the sweet remembered things of old

In the sweet melody of song

The sweetness of what never yet was told."

The book is also arranged in a most pleasing
manner, beginning with a poem of introduction,
dealing next with the birth of song, then telling of
the value of song, and finally ending with some
farewell poems.

This delightful book Mr. Choate dedicates to

BOWDOIN ORIENT

his wife in these pleasing and appropriate words:
"To her who went with me life's journey long
Cheered all life's rugged road with courage strong

I dedicate in tenderest memory
This wreath fresh-woven of a full heart's song."

'62. — Rev. Samuel Wiggin Pearson died on
June 2nd at his home in Brunswick. A number
of weeks previous, Mr. Pearson had been injured
while alighting from a train and an operation was
necessary. He seemed to rally well but for a few
days previous to his death, the end was certain.
He will be sorely missed, especially on this the
50th anniversary of his class, for he was a fre-
quent visitor at Commencement.

Mr. Pearson was born at Alna, Oct. 24, 1836.
After graduating from Bowdoin he spent four
years at Bangor Theological Seminary. For a
number of years after that, he was in the Congre-
gational ministry. Later he went into grain mill-
ing with William R. Lincoln of Brunswick, their
partnership being dissolved several years ago
■when Mr. Pearson retired from active business.

Mr. Pearson is survived by one son, Joseph C.
Pearson '06 of Washington, D. C.

Mr. Pearson was for many years an active
member of the First Parish Congregational
Church of Brunswick, and his loyalty both in
church and college matters will long be remem-
"bered by his many friends.

'67. — Dr. Frederick C. Thayer of Waterville,
and Dr. A. G. Young of Augusta, both graduates
of the Medical School in this year, have recently
"been appointed by Gov. Plaisted as delegates from
Maine to the 15th International Congress on Hy-
giene and Demography to be held at Washington,
D. C, next September. Other Bowdoin men ap-
pointed are : Dr. Charles D. Smith '79 of Port-
land, and Dr. John L. M. Willis '77 of Elliot.

'71. — We who glory in Bowdoin's literary repu-
tation have great cause to be glad this week, for
in addition to the book of verses by Mr. Choate
referred to above, another of equally fine value
and pleasing appearance has been presented to the
Orient by Edgar Foster Davis. This collection
of poems is entitled "Pine Cones and Needles,"
and in addition to its value as a work of versifi-
cation, it interests Bowdoin and Maine men by its
choice of local subjects. The poems in this book
are of an entirely different character than those
of Mr. Choate, but the introduction of scenes and
subjects with which all are familiar and the treat-
ment of them in such a pleasing manner, bringing
us back to home scenes, is most pleasing and de-
lightful.

The versatility of the author is well shown by
the variety of the subjects treated. A poem show-

ing touching pathos is "Kind o' Grave," while one
showing a pleasing flight of imagination is "Rein-
carnate— A.D. 2012." Several of the poems show
a patriotic appreciation of the deeds of past
heroes. A poem of especial interest to us at pres-
ent is "Faithful Unto Death," praising the brav-
ery of the orchestra on board the ill-fated Titanic.

The most interesting selection to Bowdoin is an
"Ode to Bowdoin," written to be sung to "La
Marseillaise." To the writer, the first part of the
second verse seems the best part of this admirable
poem :

"With hearts attuned to love's emotion

O reverend mother, kind and true,
We come, and with sincere devotion,
Enshrine thy name in honors new
Enshrine thy name in honors due."

The entire poem is evidence of the loyalty of
this noted Bowdoin alumnus.

'72. — George M. Whitaker, Sc.D., Secretary of
the National Dairy Union, has been removed from
Washington, D. C, to Fort Atkinson, Wis.

'73- — Dr. Benjamin 7'appan Deering, who has
lived most of the time in late years abroad, died
at Paris, France, May 23rd. Dr. Deering was
born Nov. 19, 1850, at Augusta, the son of Ste-
phen and Caroline (Potter) Deering. Four years
after he had graduated from here, having re-
ceived an A.M. on this side, he went across the
water and pursued his studies further at the Ecole
de Medicine. He remained in France, taking up
his work in Paris where he had a flourishing prac-
tice until the time of his death.

While his death was not unexpected, as he suf-
fered for a long time with angina pectoris, it
brings regret to his many friends and classmates
who, in spite of his long absence, remember him
as a man most interested in his profession and al-
ways mindful of his friends.

an appreciation of their work in the church and
the community.

THE BLANKET ASSESSMENT
The students of the College by their support of
the new blanket tax have shown that they wish to
have it adopted permanently and yet it is a ques-
tion whether its success can be assured. Two
hundred and seventy-five students paid up during
the appointed time, leaving about fifty-five stu-
dents in College yet unpaid. The Board of Man-
agers believe that the prompt payment of most
of the students indicates that the remainder have
not realized the importance of paying their tax
and joining the Associated students. Unless the
assessment is paid by practically every student in
college it fails to work — it is a failure. It was
designed to be paid by all, and is reasonable
enough for all to be able to pay it. When one
realizes that the non-payment of this membership
fee to the Associated Students means that one is
barred from membership and participation in the
activities represented therein, it is hard to figure
out why one should not join.

At 7 :30 P. M. tonight in the Deutscher Verein,
on the second floor of Hubbard Hall, the Board of
Managers will meet to pass on the admission of
all those who have not paid to date. There is
little doubt but that all reasonable applications
will be granted as there is reason to suppose that
the penalty for non-payment was not clearly un-
derstood.

Tonight the success or failure of the whole
scheme will be decided. The decision is in the
hands of the minority who have not yet paid. It
is to be hoped that they will possess enough Bow-
doin spirit to pay their assessment and save the
student body from reverting to the unfair sub-
scription system.

BOWDOIN, 20; FT. McKINLEY, 6— SEPT. 28
Bowdoin's football season began Saturday on
Whittier Field with the Fort McKinley game,
which the soldiers lost by a score of 20 to 6. Fort
McKinley's touchdown came in the last quarter,
when Bowdoin on her ten yard line tried a for-
ward pass, which Durney of Fort McKinley in-
tercepted and carried over for a touchdown.
Linehan failed to kick the goal. The features of
the game were the work of Fitzgerald, the Fresh-
man half-back, and Lew Brown's quarter-back

runs. Fort McKinley made persistent use of the
forward pass with little success. Several of the
soldiers received minor injuries, but no time was
taken out for the collegians. Frank Smith
watched the game from the sidelines, although he
is to play in later games. Harry Faulkner played
in part of the game and showed his old-time form,
in spite of the fact that it was almost his first day
on the field.

Tappan of Fort McKinley kicked off to Bow-
doin's 35 yard line, Duff Wood carrying the ball
back 20 yards. A fumble then cost Bowdoin ten
yards and La Casce punted, Lewis getting the
tackle. Mills was taken out with a sprained knee
and Apple took his place. McKinley made first
down but lost the ball by downs on Bowdoin's
33 yard line. Lew Brown carried the ball around
right end to the middle of the field. Steady
rushes by La Casce and Weatherill through right
and left tackle and a run around left end by Lew
Brown made first down three times in succession.
Fort McKinley held firm but finally Brown car-
ried the ball over for the first touchdown. Duff
Wood kicked the goal. Littlefield replaced Pratt.
On the kick-off Lew Brown ran the ball back 35
yards and Fitzgerald brought the stands to their
feet with a 45 yard run for a touchdown. Wood
kicked the goal and Hall took his place. La Casce
carried the kickoff from Bowdoin's 15 yard line
to the middle of the field and Fitzgerald made 15
yards. The first quarter ended with the score
14 to o.

Dole went in at right end, Crosby at quarter,
Beal at left end, Moulton at right guard, and
Faulkner at left half-back. Both teams tried
forward passes and failed. Cross went in, re-
placing Weatherill. Fort McKinley made short
gains through center, making first down. A for-
ward pass, Hale to Zimmermann to Brodeur,
netted them 12 yards. La Casce intercepted the
next forward pass, giving the would-be tackier a
ride on his back for several yards. Douglas went
in at center, Joe Brown at right end, Stuart at
quarter, Biff Pratt at left tackle, and later Dun-
ton at right end. The half ended with the ball in
the center of the field.

The third quarter began with the same team
which started the game. La Casce kicked off,
Hinch getting the tackle on McKinley's 30 yard

BOWDOIN ORIENT

line. Bowdoin held and McKinley punted.
Weatherill ran the ball back 12 yards and Bow-
doin made first down. La Casce made five yards,
a forward pass failed, and Fitzgerald made 18
yards around right end. Weatherill carried the
ball 18 yards through right tackle for a touch-
down. Wood failed to kick the goal. Beal re-
placed Hinch and Crosby replaced Brown.
Weatherill ran the kick-off back 25 yards and
Fitzgerald made five yards. Stuart replaced
Crosby. La Casce punted to McKinley's 42 yard
line. McKinley gained with a forward pass and
were held in the middle of the field. King Pratt
blocked their punt but McKinley recovered the
ball. Pike spoiled McKinley's forward pass and
Hall recovered the ball on a low punt on McKin-
ley's 45 yard line. Fitzgerald broke away for
what would have been a touchdown, but Bowdoin
was penalized 15 yards for holding. Carr re-
placed Beal and Barry went in at right end. Mc-
Kinley made eight yards on an intercepted for-
ward pass. Biff Pratt replaced Lewis and Moul-
ton took Pike's place. McKinley punted to Stuart.
■Under the shadow of the Bowdoin goal posts,
-Durney intercepted Weatherill's forward pass
and carried it over for a touchdown. Linehan
missed the goal. Dole replaced Fitzgerald. Mc-
Kinley kicked off about 15 yards but recovered
the ball. Moulton was replaced at center by
Douglas, whose arrival resulted in a decided gain.
Daniells replaced Cross and Hinch took Carr's
place. Stuart made a 32 yard run but Bowdoin
was forced to punt. Faulkner's punt was recov-
ered by McKinley behind the goal line. Joe
Brown went in at right end, and Badger at cen-
ter. McKinley punted to Dole. Time was taken
out for Schirm, who was replaced by Blakeley.
Faulkner made 15 yards by a fake punt and Dole
made 12 yards around left end. The whistle blew
with the ball in Bowdoin's possession on McKin-
ley's eight yard line.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS

With the largest squad out for practice in the
memory of the present college generation, good
Freshman material, good coaching and manage-
ment, the prospects this fall are very bright.
Coach Bergin has been assisted during the past
week by J. A. Greene '03, Mountfort ex-Tufts and
now '14, Squanto Wilson '13, and Frank Smith
'12. The game with Fort McKinley was satisfac-
tory, with the single exception that the cheering
was very poor. This should be improved before
the next home game. The men who have been
out for the team this fall are as follows: — Back-
field, Dole '13, Fitzgerald '16, L. Brown '14, Fos-
ter '16, Crosby '13, Lull '16, Mannix '15, Faulkner
'15, H. C. Abbott '14, P. Smith '15, Stuart '16,

tiefield '16, Hamilton '13, Haywood '16; centre,
McMahon '13, Pike '13, Moulton '15, Douglas '13,
Badger '14.

1916, A RECORD CLASS

In spite of the graduation of 1912's large class,
registration this year shows a total of 330, or 7
more than the total registration last year. This
increase is due largely to the entrance of the
largest class in the history of the College. The
Class of 1916, with 116 members, has beaten by
one man the record set by 1912. In the new class
there are 38 men from outside the State.

By classes the registration has been as follows :

Seniors 76

Juniors 66

Sophomores 71

Freshmen 116

It is the common saying that
The New Year this year will be Bowdoin's
best. Several newspaper re-
ports make the statement prominently, and indeed
they have reason for it.

The rapid completion of the new gymnasium
is alone enough to mark this college year as an
eventful one, but when there are added so many
other evidences of progress there is little wonder
that the newspapers indulge in "glowing proph-
ecy."

With the successful inauguration of the blanket
tax there will be eliminated from the duties of the
managers all the subscription-collecting worries
which have before taken so much time.

The opening of the new Bowdoin Club, a meet-
ing place for everyone and a home for non-frater-
nity men also marks a new departure of the
greatest moment.

And with a record-breaking entering class, sev-
eral new courses, and the satisfaction of being

ranked in the first class of American colleges,
Bowdoin may well enter upon its 110th year with
the assurance that it can be made the best.

The Orient is glad to wel-
New faculty come on beha]f of the un(kr_

Members graduates the five new mem-

bers of the faculty who come to the College this
fall.> The aid which they are to give to the va-
rious departments and the new courses in Fine
Arts, Music, and the History of the Novel which
are thus made possible, speak for Bowdoin's
progress as a college of liberal arts. May the
relations of the new members with the under-
graduates be sympathetic and pleasant.

The large squad which re-
Football ports for pactice and the

showing of the twenty-eight
men who played in the Fort McKinley game in-
dicate that the men on the field will do their full
share. And the successful collection of the blan-
ket tax will remove the handicap of subscription
collecting, at the same time insuring the financial
support of the team. The one remaining element
necessary for success must be furnished by the
undergraduates themselves and that element is
the moral support given by attendance of every
man at every home game and by the spirited
cheering of every man.

Y. M. C. A. RECEPTION

The social life of the college began last Thurs-
day evening with the reception in Hubbard Hall,
given by the Young Men's Christian Association
to the Class of 1916. At about half past eight the
speaking began in the debating room. Pres.
Crowell of the Y. M. C. A. explained the purpose
and aims of the organization and was followed by
Pres. William DeWitt Hyde, who welcomed the
incoming class to the college. Rev. John H.
Quint in behalf of the pastors of the town ex-
tended a welcome from the churches and spoke
on the relations between the churches and stu-
dents. P. S. Wood '13 spoke on undergraduate
life and football prospects and was followed by
Coach Bergin, who in a few words criticized the
"quitting" spirit and complimented Bowdoin on
the absence of that class of men on her campus.
P. H. Douglas '13 then explained the new blanket
tax and urged the students to be prompt in their
payments. Mr. J. L. McConaughy then closed the
program with a strong speech on the proper spirit
which the college man should show in every un-
dertaking. After the singing of Bowdoin Beata
an informal reception was held in the Alumni

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Room, refreshments of ice cream, fancy crackers
and punch being served.

The new Handbook, the so-called Freshman
Bible, which was given to each student, is the
best one ever published by the Y. M. C. A. It is
of a more convenient size and shape and contains
more information than those of previous years, as
well as being very attractive in appearance.

THE NEW GYM

Bowdoin men now see their vision for so many
years realized in solid brick and stone. For the
new gym. which in June was outlined by steel gir-
ders and a few half-finished walls, is now rapidly
approaching completion. The contractors in
charge promise that with the exception of the
steamfittings the big building will be finished in
about two weeks. Furniture for the offices and
equipment for the gym proper have been ordered
and will be installed as soon as they arrive.

Today the last of the series of pictures show-
ing the progress of construction month by month
was taken.

ORIENT COMPETITION

Competition is now open for the Orient Board.
The competition is open to all members of the
Freshman Class and it is urged that each frater-
nity group send out at least one man. The Bow-
doin Club too is requested to see that they are rep-
resented on the list of those competing. Plans
are under way for additions and enlargements of
the scope of the paper and the chances are better
than ever for a large number of men to be elect-
ed in the spring. All desiring to compete should
hand their names to the managing editor at 9
Maine Hall by Thursday night of this week.

There will be a meeting of the Orient Board
at 5 P. M. Thursday at the D. U. House.

BOWDOIN CLUB IN OPERATION

.The house at 264 Maine St. secured for the use
of the Bowdoin Club was opened for the first
time last Thursday. It has been furnished at a
large expense to the College and offers most of
the comforts of the fraternity houses. The din-
ing room will accommodate about thirty-six men
and there are study and sleeping rooms for
twelve, besides a comfortable lounge. Member-
ship in the society is open to all non-fraternity
men of the College and during the first two
weeks of the college year board may be obtained
at the house by all non-fraternity men not mem-
bers of the society at the rate of sixty-five cents a
day or four dollars a week. Rooms including

light are forty-five dollars a year and board, four
dollars a week. The officers of the organization
are: President, L. G. Whittier '13; Vice-Presi-
dent, J .Schwey '14; Treasurer, R. M. Verrill
'14; Secretary, R. E. Hubbard '14.

FALL TOURNAMENT TO PICK TENNIS TEAM

Contrary to the usual custom, the Varsity Ten-
nis Team this year is to be picked in the fall in-
stead of just before the season opens in the
spring. This new system will do away with the
uncertainty which marks the early work of the
team. With the added facilities for practice
which the gym offers, it is hoped that the team
may be able to do some work during the winter,
and that they may not be handicapped by rainy
weather, as was last year's team. A tournament
will be held as early as possible this week for
those who desire to try for the team. From this
number, the six best men will be chosen, a num-
ber sufficient to cover any losses through ineligi-
bility. It is desired that a large number of prom-
ising men may enter this tournament, especially
those from the Freshman Class. Savage '13 and
Eaton '15 are the only men of last year's team in
college, so there is a good chance for new ma-
terial. Entries should be made as quickly as pos-
sible with Paul Donahue at the Theta Delta Chi
House or MacCormick at the Delta Upsilon
House.

MARATHONERS OUT

A large cross country squad under the leader-
ship of Capt. Uriah Hall began work today. With
three men from the team of last year, Hall '13,
Haskell '13, and Tarbox '14, and with McWil-
liams '15 again eligible, Bowdoin's chances look
good. This year is to be an unusually busy one
for the cross-country team, as in addition to the
race with the University of Vermont there will be
a New England cross-country race, and probably
a race between the four Maine colleges. The
New England race will be held Nov. 18, but the
plans for the Maine run have not been completed
as yet.

FIRST THURSDAY MEETING

The first Thursday night meeting of the Y. M.
C. A. will be held this week at 7:00 P. M. It will
be in the nature of a Bible study rally and the
meeting will be addressed by President Hyde and
W. A. MacCormick '12. MacCormick was last
year's president of the Association and is well
known to all upper classmen for his interests in
this direction as well as through his prominence

BOWDOIN ORIENT

in many other college activities. MacCormick is
now assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at
Chelsea, Mass.

Any desiring copies of the Handbook may ob-
tain one by calling at the office of the General
Secretary in Hubbard Hall and those desiring
employment or wishing to borrow books should
call at the same place during the temporary of-
fice hours n :30-i2 and I :oo-i 130 daily.

FIRST SUNDAY CHAPEL

At Sunday Chapel, President Hyde emphasized
the point that happiness consists not in idleness
but in work. He said that it is not the people who
spend their vacations at summer resorts in quest
of idle pleasure who are really happy, but those
whose time is occupied by some useful work. He
cited as an example Admiral Peary 'jj, who pre-
pared the equipment for his polar expeditions
with the utmost toil and diligence, looking for-
ward only to the attainment of the coveted goal.
"He was a strong and happy man." He also
mentioned the great aviator who exclaimed, ''It's
great to be a pioneer ! We never build two ma-
chines alike because we discover defects in each
new machine and strive to improve upon it."
"The young man in college who pursues his
studies in a listless way," President Hyde con-
tinued, "leads the life of a slave, a life of dreary,
monotonous, unprofitable drudgery. When the
student sets before himself the ideal of a high,
forceful, useful, happy, Christian service, and
makes every study count toward that end, he
makes college full of profit, peace, and power."

Club anO Council Meetings

The Student Council held a meeting in Massa-
chusetts Hall the day before college opened in
conjunction with President Hyde and Dean Sills.
The matter of the "first night razoo" was dis-
cussed and acted upon as already announced to
the students. Another meeting of the Council is
to be held this week.

The Board of Managers has held several meet-
ings since the opening of college. At a recent
meeting James Norton '13 was elected Assistant
Treasurer of the Board.

Through the Treasury Department the Library
"has received an assortment of the notes of the
'ConiedeTa'te States of America, which came into

possession of the Union Army about the close of
the war and were turned over by the War De-
partment to the Treasury in 1867. This assort-
ment contains notes from practically every issue
made by the Confederate government and is ex-
hibited in the case in the upper hall of the Li-
brary.

During the summer months the Library has
received some eight hundred new books. Among
them are many of the best pieces of late fiction
and there have been a great many additions in the
department of Art History, Music, Economics,
and History. Among the most interesting are
Stover at Yale of interest to all college men, and
Professor Foster's new book on Argumentation
for use in preparatory schools.

alumni Department

'76. — One of the most interesting and well
known of those alumni of this institution who
have died during the summer was Dr. Irving
Ellis Kimball who graduated from the Medical
School in 1876. Dr. Kimball was very popular in
Portland where he lived almost from the time he
graduated, and occupied a high place in the med-
ical fraternity of that city.

He was born at Clinton, Me., Sept. 2, 185 1, the
first child of Ebenezer P. Kimball and Tryphosa
F. Kimball. He fitted for college at the Bucks-
port Academy and entered Bowdoin, where he did
some of the work for two years being for a time
during that same period engaged in teaching
school.

Mr. Kimball did not wait to complete his col-
lege course but began to prepare himself for the
medical profession. He graduated from our
medical school in 1876 and after spending three
years in Wiscasset he moved to Portland where
he soon built up a very successful practice. Af-
U the first few years he took for his specialty the
diseases of the lungs and throat. He fitted him-
self for this work by taking a course at Harvard
and also by special study at the University of
Vienna and it was the distinguishing work of his
life.

From 1883 to 1889 he was . demonstrator in
Anatomy at the Medical School, and for many
years he was on the medical staff of the Eye and
Ear Infirmary and also of the Maine General
Hospital in Portland. He was a member of the
Maine Medical Association, the Academy of Med-
ical Science, the American Laryngological,
Rhinological and Otological Society and also of
the New England Otological and Laryngological
Society.

In 1880 Dr. Kimball married Mary Frances

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Tucker, daughter of Capt.-John Tucker of Wis-
casset. She lived only two years after marriage.
In 1886 he married Susan Jackson Rollins, daugh-
ter of Hon. Franklin Rollins of Portland.

Dr. Kimball, in spite of his large practice was
never too busy to help where he thought he might
be of any assistance. For many years he was
connected with the State Street Congregational
Church of Portland, where he was for a long
time president of the Parish Club and was also
very active in the musical and other departments
of the church. He was also for some years a
director in the United States Trust Co., and in
this capacity formed a large circle of business
friends.

Dr. Kimball is survived by his wife, a sister,
and a brother.

'42. — In memory of her husband, Rev. George
Gannett, of this class, Mrs. Georgianna Butter-
worth Gannett of Needham, Mass., who recently
died, left to the college $6,000 for a trust fund to
be known as the George Gannett fund. She also
gave her library to the college.

'67. — Rev. Dr. S. M. Newman has entered upon
his duties as president of Howard University,
Washington, D. C.

'89. — Major Holman F. Day's new book, "The
Red Lane," has been dedicated to Deputy United
States Marshal Burton Smith of Portland who
graduated in this class. Mr. Smith has always
been a great friend of Mr. Day and it is with
pleasure that the friends of both of these men
hear of the honor which Mr. Day has conferred
on our alumnus.

'go. — Joseph B. Pendleton, the well-known foot-
ball official, has recently taken a position in the
athletic department of Filene's department store
in Boston.

'10. — Harold E. Rowell has recently taken the
principalship of Bridgton High School.

The Orient regrets to announce the following
deaths ofBowdoin alumni during the summer :

Henry Hill Boody of the Class of 1842, died at
Brunswick, Sept. nth.

William Drew Washburn of the Class of 1854,
died at Minneapolis, Minn., June 29th.

Lewis Orsmond Brastow of the Class of 1857,
died August 12th.

Charles Hoyt Bangs, of the Glass of 1869, died
August 1 2th.

Hon. Herbert Milton Heath of the Class of
1872, died August 18th.

George Mason Whittaker of the Class of 1872,
died August 29th.

Frank Vernon Wright of the Class of 1876,
died August 3rd.

died August 2nd.

Dr. Irving Ellis Kimball of the Medical Class
of 1876, died August 5th.

Dr. Jefferson Car.y of the Medical Class of
1878, died August 25th.

All of these men lived lives and accomplished
deeds which bring great honor to their Alma
Mater. Their lives are also interesting as exam-
ples of what college men can accomplish and
their biographies will be published from time to
time in the Orient.

BOWDOIN ORILNT

VOL. XLII

BRUNSWICK, MAINE., OCTOBER 8, 1912

NO. 12

BOWDOIN, 6; WESLEYAN, 7— Oct. 5

In one of the hardest fought games that has
been played in New England under the new rules
Wesleyan nosed out a 7 to 6 victory from the
Bowdoin team. The inability of "Duff" Wood,
the Bowdoin captain, to kick a fairly easy goal
gave the Connecticut boys the deciding point.

The game was hard fought from the beginning
to the end and was all the more interesting be-
cause the two teams played different types of ball.
The Bowdoin men carried the ball by line rushing
and end runs but the Wesleyan play was chiefly
forward passes. The Middletown team made
yard after yard down the field and scored the
touchdown with the forward pass. The men had
the play worked down to a science and there was
almost never a slip in the work. The men took
their positions as if run by machinery. The ball
was thrown just at the right time and the inter-
ference was always able to keep the man pro-
tected.

Harry Faulkner, the Bowdoin back, was the
star of the game and it was through his good
playing that the greater part of the Bowdoin
score was made. After the first score Faulkner
was pretty well laid out as he had run the ball a
great deal and had been the center of attack of
the Wesleyan forces. He was knocked up so
badly that he had to be helped into his sleeper for
the trip home by the other members of the team.

The ball was in dangerous territory but the
situation did not look serious at the down the
scoring play was made on. The teams were near
the center of the field between the 10 and 20
yard line. The formation did not look like a for-
ward pass but after the men got in motion the
ball shot out of the mass and sailed over the
quarterback's head and landed in Blauvelt's arms.
The touchdown was then easily made as the end
was very near the goal line. Bacon kicked the
goal.

The result of the game would have been re-
versed if it hadn't been for a mistake in the first
half that cost Bowdoin dearly. The ball was on
Wesleyan's eight yard line. It was the fourth
down with only a short distance to go when the
Bowdoin quarter made a misplay. .The Maine
boys didn't make their distance and the ball went

to the home team.

The Wesleyan men were bound to win and
fought for every inch of the ground. Their team
was heavier than Bowdoin but the backs could
find no openings in the White line.

SOPHS WIN FIRST GAME 14-2

The Sophomores had little difficulty in defeat-
ing the Freshmen in the first of the series of base-
ball games between the two classes. Until the
sixth inning, the game was a close one, but in the
sixth and seventh, the Sophomores put over
enough runs to win several games.

The Freshmen batted better than did their con-
querors, but their pitchers were far freer with
passes.

The game was followed by a tug of war, in
which the Freshmen pulled the Sophomores from
the Delta to the chapel steps. The members of
each class cheered their own class, then the other
class, and both united in cheering all four classes,
and giving the Bowdoin yells.

BOWDOIN 2nds TIE WITH HEBRON
The second team occupied themselves during
the absence of the Varsity by playing Hebron
Academy at Hebron last Saturday. The team
work displayed by the scrubs was a surprise to
everyone, themselves included, and they made a
good account of themselves against the prep team.
There was only one fumble made by the college
team while Hebron fumbled often. The line
opened up good holes for the backfield and most
of the gains were made by these line plays. Stone,

right halfback for the seconds, was severely in-
jured on the third down of the game and had to
be removed. Capt. Page, who replaced him,
played remarkably well considering his lack of
experience in that position. Dyar, Foster and
Stuart made good gains and played well on de-
fense. The ends played a good, consistent game.
In the second period Bowdoin pushed the ball
down within the Hebron twenty yard line and
were stopped from scoring by the whistle. The
Hebron team was in dangerous proximity to the
Bowdoin goal posts during the first and fourth
periods and it required a stiff defense in both
cases to stop their attack. The team was very
well entertained. A game is being arranged with
Westbrook Seminary for next Saturday, Oct. 12.

least Latin and Mathematics. The men who qual-
ify are required to present themselves to the State
Board of. Examiners at Augusta for personal

if necessary. The final decision will be based not
only on the student's literary and scholastic at-
tainments but also on his fondness for and par-
ticipation in athletics, his manly qualities, and
moral force of character.

Bowdoin has been highly successful in obtain-
ing Rhodes Scholarships, three of the six scholar-
ships that have been granted to students from
this state having been awarded to Bowdoin men.
The first Maine Rhodes Scholarship was won in
1906 by David R. Porter '06. In the three years
following Bowdoin men were barred from the ex-
aminations and the scholarships were awarded in
turn to men from Bates, Colby and the University
of Maine. The rules were changed in 1910 so
that students of all the colleges in the state were
eligible, and a Bowdoin man carried off the hon-
ors, Robert Hale '10 being the successful candi-
date. The scholarship in 191 1 was won by Ed-
ward E. Kern '12.

Y. M. C. A. MISSIONARY MEETINGS

The Y. M. C. A. and the First Parish Church
will cooperate in holding a missionary meeting
next Thursday evening, Oct. 10, at 7 P. M. in
King Chapel. This meeting is to be held in con-
nection with the annual meeting of the American
Board of Missions to be held at Portland. Bow-
doin has been connected with the American Board
since an early date, and great interest is always
taken at these meetings. Something special is
planned this time in the way of music, and it will
certainly be worth while for everyone to hear it.

A fine list of speakers has been arranged,
speakers that one does not have the opportunity
to hear every day. Rev. Paul Corbin Tarker of
China is to speak on "Critical Days in China."
Rev. Mr. Tarker was a very prominent figure in
the Boxer uprising and is thoroughly fitted to talk
on his subject. Rev. Richard Rose, a graduate of
Oberlin, will speak on "Why I Decided for In-
dia." We are fortunate in getting this chance to
hear Mr. Rose as he sails in two weeks for In-
dia.

The principle address of the meeting will be
given by Mr. Philip Swartz, Lafayette 'n, who is
the travelling secretary of the student volunteer
movement of New York City.

Mr. Swartz will speak on "College Men and
Missions." He is well able to speak on this sub-
ject as he has just finished a tour of the American
colleges. Mr. Swartz will remain in Bowdoin for
two days and wishes to have a talk with as many
fellows as possible.

FROM CROSS COUNTRY

The cross country men are out for good now
and are running around the town every after-
noon. The first two days only a few showed up
for practice but since Coach Merrill took hold of
the squad and posted notices asking everybody to
come out and help there have been a great many
more candidates in the field. The fellows that
come out late have been badly handicapped by
the lack of the first few days work which led up
gradually to the longer distances.

The latter part of last week the men were di-
vided into three squads. The first division under
'Uriah' Hall consisting of about three men took a
trot around the stand pipe. The second lot led by
Haskell took a turn around the field and then
went over the loop. The last lot made up of new
men did a mile on the cinder track.

Among those that are showing up daily are
Haskell, Hall, Norton, Burleigh, Cummings, Pay-
son, Standish, McCargo, Eberhardt, Jones, Mel-
cher, Fuller, Hargraves, Irving, Lord, Porritt,
Dixon, Tuttle, Dodge, Tarbox, Donahue, Burton,
Prescott. Cox, McWilliams, Stowell, Stuart,
Church, Ireland, Marshall, Fuller, Ward, Miller,
Haseltine, Hall, Moulton, Garland, Head, Winter,
Boardman, Noble.

Y. M. C. A. THURSDAY MEETING

The first Y. M. C. A. meeting of the year was
held last Thursday evening in the Y. M. C. A.
room. After a few opening remarks by C. R.
Crowell, president of the association, Pres. Hyde
spoke on "The College Man and the Bible." He
said that one should study the Bible, not because
his salvation depended upon it, but because in it
he could find the principles of the life of Christ,
upon which all civilization is based, and without
a knowledge of which no man should attempt to
go out into the world. He said that, although
every word could not be taken literally, as if
handed down by some divine power ; nevertheless,
there was an underlying influence for good run-
ning through it. He cited examples of some of
the leaders in public life who have made constant
use of the Bible, finding verses in it to fit every
difficulty that might arise. W. A. MacCormick
'12, assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at
Chelsea, Mass., then spoke of the value of Bible
study in persuading one to do right, and of the
permanent influence of certain passages upon
one's life. He also spoke of the lasting friend-
ships that might be formed by studying and dis-
cussing the Bible in college.

Although the college year is
Competition young, it is marked by an un-

usually large number of con-
testants in certain activities. This is as it should
be, for the remodelled saying that competition is
the life of Bowdoin undergraduates has been
proved again and again. You members of 1916
who have not yet decided upon any activity to en-
ter may well give the matter immediate thought
and determine to make your way in some one of
the many branches of college life.

It is certain that the opportunity for service has
never been greater than at present. In every-
thing there is a chance for the freshman. One
fact from many in support of this statement is
that the large number of new men on the football
squad compare favorably with the veterans of
last year's team.

You raise the objection that the time-devouring
demands of the faculty make it impossible for
you to go out for anything. But if you are the

man who is to make a success you will acquire the
ability to plan your work to the end that you may
reach the happy medium between the pursuit of
the curriculum and that of "education." Go out
for something with all your might, remembering
that if you lose out, the competition you have
given the other fellow cannot fail to secure im-
provement in Bowdoin activities.

You who are unable to sup-
See the Team Off port the football team by

joining the squad may yet
find a way to help the warriors considerably dur-
ing the coming weeks of out-of-state games. That
way lies in making it a point to be at the station
to give some fighting cheers when the team
leaves. It is the general testimony of the players
that cheering helps more than anything else to
inspire them to the utmost efforts, and it is the
general experience of the undergraduates that
nothing can serve better to weld them together
into a unit. Let everyone who can be at the sta-
tion Friday morning.

TOURNAMENT IN PROGRESS

In the fall Tennis Tournament the following
drawings have been made: — Payson '14 and Card
'15; Nixon '13 and Nickerson '16; Gardner '13,
and Walker '13; Eaton '15 and Gilbert '13; Cum-
mings '13 and Kuhn '15; Miller '16 and Greeley
'16; Wing '14 and Savage '13; Larrabee '16 and
Barton '14; Leigh '14 and Woodman '16. In the
two matches which have been played, Gardner
defeated Walker 6-2, 6-4, and Eaton defeated Gil-
bert 6-1, 6-3. The other matches are to be played
as soon as possible. According to the rules of the
Tennis Association the winner of the tournament
will be captain of the team.

BIBLE CLASSES

The Bible Classes will meet Sunday afternoon
for the first time, in the various fraternity houses
and at the Bowdoin Club. So far, the enrollment
has been small and it is earnestly hoped that the
men of the College will heartily respond to the
call of the leaders in the Bible study movement.

The work of the classes is to be divided into
three courses. The first course, "Principles of
Jesus," is to be taken by the Seniors and Juniors.
In this course will be discussed problems which
are of vital importance to humanity and the solu-
tion of these problems offered by Christianity.
Course II, "Life of Christ," will be taken by
Sophomores and Freshmen. Course III, "Men of
the Old Testament," may be taken by all classes.
The course reveals the lives of the important fig-

BOWDOIN ORIEN1

ures in the days of the Old Testament, and what
they stood for.

The leaders of each course will be instructed
as follows : Course I by the Rev. John H.
Quint, Course II Mr. J. L. McConaughy, Course
III Professor W. B. Mitchell.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

At Sunday Chapel President Hyde spoke of the
interest which other people take in our work. He
said in part : "We are not alone. Our moral life
is not a life lived all to ourselves; it is not an in-
dividual life." As an example of this he referred
to the Bowdoin Club of Boston as follows : "This
club is not like most formal associations, which
meet only once a year for a dinner. It is a club
that is now in its seventeenth year, and holds its
meetings once a month." He then stated that the
club was composed of Bowdoin graduates, law-
yers, doctors, editors, and business men, young
and old, who work together for the welfare of
Bowdoin. "They take great interest in Bowdoin.
They help on our prosperity, and are disappoint-
ed in our troubles. We ought to live with the
sense that they are with us and we are with them.
It is up to us to continue the good work that they
started. We must do our part, meet temptations,
and overcome obstacles with the sense that we are
in the fellowship of the living and the dead."

Cluo ano Council Meetings

The Student Council held a meeting last Tues-
day night and considered several important meas-
ures. It was decided to hold weekly "sings" or
"hums" in Memorial Hall on Friday evenings
from now until the end of the football season in
order that the cheering and singing may be im-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

proved by practice and so that the Freshmen may
familiarize themselves with the songs and yells.
Tuesday, October 22nd, was set as the date for
fraternity initiations. It was resolved that the
Sophomores be urged to avoid any physical vio-
lence or damaging of any college property during
proclamation night. The proclamation was read
and approved. It was decided to hold a class rope
pull after the class baseball games intead of the
usual, indecisive class rush. A committee was
appointed to see that this contest was initiated
properly. It was decided that the Council hold
weekly meetings in Hubbard Hall, German Room,
at 8 P. M.

The Board of Managers held a meeting, Tues-
day, Oct. 1. The cases of the delinquents in pay-
ing the blanket assessment were passed upon and
a number were received. The assessment has
proved a success and will be continued.

The first meeting of the Debating Council was
held last Thursday afternoon in the Debating
Room. Intercolleg'iate debating was discussed
but no definite action taken for the present. The
inter-scholastic debating league was discussed,
especially as to the advisability of allowing more
schools to enter the league. The following com-
mittee was appointed to look into the matter :
Stanley Dole '13, Chairman; Joe Brown '13, Ray
Verrill '14. The matter of a series of inter-class
debates was also discussed and a committee ap-
pointed to draw up some detailed plan and also to
investigate the attitude of the student body to-
wards this proposition.

The Freshman Class has elected the following
officers for the ensuing year : John D. Churchill
of Minot, president ; Willard P. Woodman of
Peabody, Mass., vice-president; Lew M. Noble of
Phillips, secretary ; Edward C. Hawes of Bangor,
treasurer ; Harry F. Knight of Townsend Har-
bor, Mass., captain baseball team ; Edward P.
Garland of Bangor, manager baseball team.
Steps were taken toward a class assessment, but
the matter of a constitution was left until the
next meeting.

Since Commencement the Art Gallery has re-
ceived several gifts which are now on exhibition.
In the Boyd Gallery is the bronze bust of Admiral
Peary, which was presented by the Class of 1877
last Commencement. The bust was done by Wil-
liam Ordway Partridge before the trip to the
Pole. In this gallery also is the copy of Whistler's
famous "Portrait of Mother." This painting was
made and presented by Joseph Kahili of Portland,
who also painted the portrait of General Cham-

berlain and the David panel in King Chapel.
Over the entrance to the Boyd Gallery is a new
painting, "Seining at Dawn," by Philip Little and
presented by him in memory of his sister-in-law,
Helen Beal Little.

In the Bowdoin Gallery is a portrait of Joseph
Merrill '54, by Joseph Kahili, and a portrait of
Peleg Chandler '34, given by his son, Horace P.
Chandler. Mr. Chandler was the son-in-law of
Professor Cleveland, and the donor of the Cleve-
land Cabinet in Massachusetts Hall.

Portraits of the Presidents of the College have
been assembled in the Bowdoin Gallery, many of
the pictures having been brought from Memorial
Hall.

Interesting pieces of silver formerly belonging
to Governor Bowdoin have been received by the
will of Frances E. Weston. The pieces are a
punch ladle, three silver spoons, and a silver
cream pitcher. By the same will the Gallery re-
ceived also three small oil paintings. None of
these articles are yet on exhibition.

The Outlook for Oct. 5th contains an article by
President Hyde entitled "The Issues of the Cam-
paign." The article does indeed set forth the
issues in a clear non-partisan manner, an inter-
rogatory style being used throughout. What the
voter should consider in the coming election are
the candidates, the term of office, and the five
great issues — the tariff, the control of corpora-
tions, labor, the Constitution and the courts, and
the machinery of elections. In general, the issue
is to what extent and by what means we are to
change from the old to the new order of things.

The Atlantic Monthly for October on page 441
gives an article on "A Father to His Freshman
Son." Commendably true to life, it should be
read by every Freshman. With the exception of
the writer's tolerance of light drinking, the ad-
vice seems admirable.

Another addition especially adapted for Fresh-
men is "From School Through College" by Henry
Parks Wright, Ph.D., Dean of Yale College from
1884-1909. The advice comes from one who has
for a life time dealt with boys, and never lost
sympathy for their interests.

The Library has received a most important ac-
cession to its medical books by the bequest of the
private library of the late Dr. Albion S. Whit-
more of the Class of 1875. Dr. Whitmore was a
most loyal son of the College, always interested
in the undergraduate life of the institution and a
subscriber to all its interests. During the latter
portion of a quarter century of successful prac-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

tice in Boston he bought freely in professional
literature. As a result over a hundred volumes
of recent and authoritative medical text-books
have come into the possession of the College and
twice that number of valuable books which prove
to be duplicates but are of use in exchange with
other Libraries.

3ntercollegiate Jl3otes

The most important happening in the world of
colleges during the summer vacation was the pub-
lication of the official classification of American
Colleges and Universities by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Education. Dr. Babcock, who made the
classification, put fifty-nine universities and col-
leges in the first class and designated them as
standard institutions and placed 161 in the sec-
ond class, 85 in the third class and 40 in the
fourth. Bowdoin is put in the first class, the only
one of the Maine colleges so honored and is the
smallest but one of the fifty-nine put in the roll of
honor. The New England institutions are well
represented in the first list. In this so-called first
class there are forty-four endowed and private
institutions and fifteen State universities. Bates,
Colby, and Maine are in the second class and also
Boston University, New York University and
Syracuse. Trinity and Holy Cross. In the third
and fourth classes New England is not repre-
sented, these being mostly Southern institutions.

The classification was made upon the basis of
the bachelor's degree and comparisons were made
of the work done in recognized graduate schools
by graduates of various institutions and the time
taken and needed for graduation by these men.
This report, although it perhaps cannot be ac-
cepted finally, gives evidence that New England
still maintains its reputation as the educational
center of the country and brings a good deal of
satisfaction to the officers and alumni of the col-
leges in the first class, such as Bowdoin.

'67. — James Wallace MacDonald died very sud-
denly, August 5, 19.12, at a summer camp near
Katahdin Iron Works, where he and his wife
were spending a summer vacation. Mr. MacDon-
ald was born in Houlton, Me., June 26, 1844. He
was principal of a High School at Abington,
Mass., from 1867 to 1876, and at Stoneham,

104

B0WD0IN ORIENT

Mass., from 1876 to 1892. In October, 1892, he
was appointed an agent of the Massachusetts
State Board of Education, with special assign-
ment to the visitation of High Schools. This
position he held to the end of his life, keeping his
residence in Stoneham. He gained an enviable
reputation as an educator, and was the author
of several textbooks.

He was married, Nov. 21, 1874, to Emma F.
Prouty of South Abingdon, who survives him.
He left no children. Funeral services were held
at the First Congregational Church in Stoneham,
of which society he was a member.

Mr. MacDonald had an active and progressive
mind, and cherished high standards of conduct
and character. "In his death," says the Stoneham
Independent, "Stoneham loses a leading citizen
and a man whose worth had gained him, to the
full, high respect and esteem."

'72. — Bowdoin alumni and undergraduates were
shocked on August 18th to hear of the sudden
death of Herbert Milton Heath of Augusta. Mr.
Heath was a loyal Bowdoin son, and in this re-
spect he seemed particularly like an older brother
to the younger alumni and the undergraduates
with whom he frequently came in contact. He
was not only ready to aid the college as he did as
Overseer, and to lend invaluable assistance to
any college organization as he did to the debating
team last year, but he also welcomed the confi-
dence and friendship of Bowdoin men individual-
ly. It may be truly said that his life was an in-
spiration to those who were fortunate enough to
know him.

Mr. Heath was born in Gardiner August 27,
1853. His parentage in way explains his courage,
earnestness, and loyalty, for he descended from
the best of the old Revolutionary patriots. His
father, Alvan M. C. Heath, himself a loyal Union
man who lost his life at Fredericksburg, was a di-
rect descendent from Gen. William Heath of
Revolutionary fame, while his mother could trace
her family to the great General Kendall.

Mr. Heath prepared for college at Gardiner
High School and in the meantime he also studied
at the Dirigo Business College in Augusta. He
entered Bowdoin in 1868, graduating four years
later. While here, he was elected to membership
in Phi Beta Kappa, was a member of the Peucin-
ian Society, won a prize in mineralogy, was edi-
tor-in-chief of the Bugle, and rowed on the col-
lege crew. During part of his last year, he was
also the principal of Limerick Academy.

In 1873 ne received a master's degree here.
For the following three years he was principal of

Washington Academy at East Machias. During
this time he was also studying law with Judge
Charles Danforth of the Maine Supreme Court,
and in 1876 he was admitted to the Maine Bar.
In the same year he married Laura S. Gardiner.
Five children blessed this union.

He was a lawyer in Augusta from this time un-
til his death and was undoubtedly one of the
greatest if not the greatest lawyer in Maine. His
practice contained some of the most noted and
important cases, both criminal and civil, that are
found in the state's records. He was also presi-
dent of the Maine Bar Association 1896-1897 and
the lecturer on Cross Examination at the Univer-
sity of Maine Law School since 1910.

In addition to this legal prominence, Mr. Heath
was also a leader in the political life of the' state.
Even while he was in college, he was assistant
secretary of the Maine Senate, his term continu-
ing from 1870 to 1873. He was city solicitor of
Augusta in 1879 and for the following two years
was county attorney of Kennebec County. He
was also prominent in the Maine Legislature, serv-
ing in the House of Representatives 1883-1886,
and in the Senate, 1887-1890. While in these of-
fices, in addition to drafting the new primary
bill, he shaped much of the railroad legislation
now in force in the state, drew up the first 10-
hour bill presented to the legislature, and had an
important interest in much other legislation. He
was also a member of the commission in 1883
which revised the statutes.

The water districts, through which the water
supplies in the state are now handled are also due
his knowledge and practice which helped to per-
fect them.

Mr. Heath was also an Overseer of the College
for about a year before his death.

Mr. Heath's oratorical power was everywhere
recognized. He spoke in a direct and simple man-
ner, but he always made his points clear and then
drove them home. One of the leading papers,
when speaking of this, just after his death ex-
pressed it rightly when it said that "death has set
its seal on the most eloquent lips in Maine."

A busy and fruitful life is over and Bowdoin is
poorer because she has lost in this true man, a
loyal and devoted son.

'n. — Philip W. Meserve spent a few days at
Bowdoin last week before he left for Johns Hop-
kins University at Baltimore where he is to take
a graduate course in chemistry. Meserve was at
the Harvard graduate school last year, and was
an instructor during a part of the year at Rad-
cliffe.

BOWDOIN ORILNT

VOL. XLII

BRUNSWICK. MAINE, OCTOBER 15, 1912

NO. 13

BOWDOIN, 0; TRINITY, 27— OCT. 12

'Midst the happy news of Red Sox victory with
the triple triumph of Bedient, Beans, and Boston
came the mournful news sagging along the wires
last Saturday evening that the sturdy wearers of
the Bowdoin B had succumbed to the mighty on-
slaught of Hudson, Trinity's 195-pound fullback
and were defeated by the score noted above. One
Freshman heard that the score was 27 to o in
Bowdoin's favor and came within an ace of ring-
ing the chapel bell. Think of what excitement
there would have been ! Another outdoor track
celebration.

But as to the game at Hartford. Hudson was
remarkable on offence and carried the ball
through our line for yards on nearly every play in
which he figured. Their other backs were stopped
with short gains, but gave Hudson good interfer-
ence.

Both teams played old fashioned football and
there were only two successful forward passes,
one by each team. The Bowdoin defense was
weak in the center and guard positions and in the
backfield the interference was not of a high
quality. Leadbetter, the Freshman tackle, made
good yardage on tackle around plays, and Harry
Faulkner furnished the sensation of the game by
a fifty-five yard run through an open field on the
kick off.

THE GAME IN DETAIL

Trinity received the first kick-off and Hudson
and Lawler in two long runs brought the ball
close to our goal. It was in these plays Hudson
revealed his diving line plunge which gained
ground every time he tried it. Here the forward
pass gave us the ball. Sage caught the kick out
and by a forward pass and a line buck by Hudson
the ball was carried over for the first touchdown.
Kinney kicked the goal. Score : Trinity, 7 ; Bow-
doin, o.

Bowdoin again kicked off to Trinity's 15 yard
line. Collete brought it back ten and Lawler made
30 around end. Bowdoin was twice penalized for
offside and the ball was rushed to the goal by a
variety of plays, Hudson again making the touch-
down. Kinney missed goal. Score : Trinity, 13 ;
Bowdoin, 0.

Faulkner of Bowdoin ran back the kick off 55
yards through a broken field. Trinity held on
their thirty-five yard line and Bowdoin was
forced to punt. After an interchange of punts
and forward passes the quarter ended, Bowdoin
having the ball in mid field.

The second quarter was scoreless and was
marked by much punting. Trinity received the
kick off at the first of the third period and carried
it to Bowdoin's five yard line in a variety of plays,
when a fumble gave the ball to Bowdoin. Sage
fumbled the punt out but Bowdoin was soon
forced to punt again. A series of penalties and
runs by Hudson brought the ball near Bowdoin's
goal. Trinity was held for downs but on Bow-
doin's punt out the ball was nabbed by Cole near
the side lines and he dashed across the line for
the third touchdown. Kinney kicked goal.
Score : Trinity, 20 ; Bowdoin, o.

Sage ran back the kick off 35 yards. Bowdoin
got the ball on a fumble and made ten yards be-
fore the end of the quarter. Howell intercepted a
forward pass and Hudson with his plunging dives
made possible the fourth touchdown. Trinity,
27 ; Bowdoin, o. Neither side could score again
and the ball ended in Bowdoin's territory.

Bowdoin's best showing was made in the second
period when they played the Hartford team to a
standstill.

COLLEGE SING

Friday evening the student body held the sec-
■ond weekly "sing." Only about a hundred and
". twenty-five men were present. The small attend-
. ance may have been due to the weather but even
• a rainy night should not have kept so many away.
'Some of the songs and cheers were run through
and the college band played a few marches. A
BIG "Sing" is promised for next Friday night.
Every Bowdoin man must be there. Remember
it-he Colby game is only two weeks off.

WINTER BASEBALL PRACTICE
This winter the baseball squad is to have an

•opportunity for indoor practice, something which
Bowdoin has long felt the need of but has never
before been able to obtain. Already 27 men have
announced their intention of joining the squad
but there is still a need for more candidates.

The contract for the preparation of the indoor
field has been let to Mr. C. E. Hacker of Bruns-
wick, who now has a crew of men at work. The
■floor will be composed of three inches of clay
covered with half an inch of fine building sand.
The diamond, which is to be in the east end of the
■building with home plate in the northeast corner,
will be caged by an immense net extending com-
pletely around and over it, the net being of one
and one half inch mesh and of extra heavy ma-
terial. Work on the field is going on rapidly and

; by the time gym practice starts the diamond will

• be ready for the squad.

With this exceptional opportunity for winter

; practice there is no reason why Bowdoin should
not turn out a winning team in the spring. It is

nip to the undergraduates and there is still a

^chance to join the squad.

BISHOP CODMAN THURSDAY

Bishop Codman of Portland will address the
Y. M. C. A. meeting next Thursday night. The
Bishop, a graduate of Harvard College, is well
known in New England. From 1895-1900 he was
rector at St. John's Church, Roxbury, and in 1900
was consecrated bishop Diocese of Maine.

On Thursday night, also, the Alpha Delta Phi
fraternity will tender a reception to the Bishop
and all members of the Episcopal Church in Col-
lege.

The membership of the Y. M. C. A. is the larg-
est it has been in years. Over two hundred have
joined and the enrollment is not finished yet.

The Pejepscot Sunday School will start next
Sunday.

CROSS COUNTRY

The management of the cross country squad is
still issuing a call for more men. Many of the
new men are showing up well and have good
prospects of making the team. Definite arrange-
ments in regard to Bowdoin's entering the All-
Maine meet at Lewiston on November 2 or the
N. E. I. meet at Brookline on November 16 have
not been made. Bowdoin has arranged to race
against the University of Vermont team on No-
vember 9 with good prospects of winning the
contest.

Coach Morrill is working hard for the track
men with excellent results but more men are de-
sired to insure success.

MISSIONARY MEETINGS

A number of students and townspeople gath-
ered Thursday evening in King Chapel at the
second Y. M. C. A. meeting of the year. The
program was as follows :
Organ Prelude

Vocal Solo Mrs. William Hawley Davis

Address Mr. Philip A. Shwartz

Address Rev. Richard S. Rose

Address Rev. Paul Corbin

Benediction Rev. John H. Quint

Organ Postlude

The first speaker of the evening, Mr. Philip A.
Shwartz of New York, spoke of the changes in
foreign countries in religion, education and poli-
tics. He said that the people in those far-away
lands, who had previously been non-Christians
are now turning away from their old forms of
religion toward Christianity and are striving to
live up to the standards set forth by our mission-
aries.

Not only are our missionaries teaching these
foreigners the Christian religion, but they are
also civilizing them, as is shown from the fact
that in the countries where Christianity has been
established, one may find modern railways,
steamers and other instruments of use to man.

The text chosen by the Rev. Mr. Rose was
"Why I Chose India." He carefully laid bare the
conditions which exist today in India and demon-
strated the need of missionaries in that dark
country of 300,000,000 inhabitants, 2,000,000 only
of whom are followers of the Christian religion.
In India 1 per cent, of the women can read and
write while 5 per cent, of the men and boys are
able to read and write. These facts alone are
enough to convince one that India, the home of
Brahmanism, Mohammedanism and Buddhism,
needs the help of American missionaries to turn

BOWDOIN ORIENT

107

the religion of these hordes of people toward
Christian ideals.

The Rev. Paul Corbin spoke briefly on the im-
provements which have occurred in China within
the past eight years. The Chinese people today
are desirous to make progress in civilization.
They send men from their country to America
in order that they may go home and take Ameri-
can ideals with them and arouse their native land
from her slumbers. All this has been brought
about through American missionary workers.

COLLEGE CIVIL SERVICE EXAM

Two library assistants will be chosen from the
entering class, and as applications to the number
of eleven have already been received, these ap-
pointments will be determined by the results of a
competitive examinations, to be held at the libra-
rian's office today at 4:30 P. M. The examination
will be simple in its character, requiring no prep-
aration and designed merely to test general
knowledge of books, and the qualities of accuracy*
and quickness of eye and mind. No one should
take the examination who is not, to a greater or
less degree, dependent on his own exertions for
means to defray the expenses of his college
course.

FIRST COLLEGE PREACHER
Rev. Samuel Atkins Eliot, D.D., of Cambridge,
Mass., the first College preacher of the year will
preach in the Church on the Hill next Sunday
morning and at the chapel service in the after-
noon. An evening meeting under the auspices of
the Y.M.C.A. will probably be arranged for and
will be announced later. Dr. Eliot was graduated
from Harvard in 1884. He received the degree
of A.M. from Harvard in 1889, and D.D. from
Bowdoin in 1900. From 1889 to 1893 he was pas-
tor of Unity Church of Denver, Colorado. Since
1900 he has been president of the American Uni-
tarian Association.

FESTIVAL MUSIC CONFERENCE

At Professor Hutchins' house on last Friday
evening, Professor Wass held his first musical
conference. The music played at the Festival this
week was rendered on the orchestrel, and a par-
ticular analysis was made of the two movements
of Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony." The ob-
ject of this conference was to give the men taking
music an opportunity to appreciate the fine melo-
dies and live over again the thoughts of the com-
posers.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

At Chapel Sunday afternoon President Farren
of Forest Grove College, Oregon, was the
speaker. As a text he took the Bible story of the
rich young man whom Christ told to sell all that
he had and give to the poor. The young man
upon hearing this, went away sorrowful, unwill-
ing to give up his position and riches for a life of
service. He spoke of the service of the Christian
life of today, and enlarging upon it, showed the
different kinds of service. As an illustration he
told of some young missionaries who before they
left for their field of work were heard to tell of
the sacrifices they were about to make; and also
of a medical missionary who had risked his life in
stamping out an unknown plague and in telling of
it made no mention of himself or of the risk that
he had taken. Comparing these ideas of service
he brought vividly before the minds of all the
ideal Christian service of today, the service where
self is not considered, but the good of others only.
He showed the true Christian life as being one
where all is unhesitatingly given to help in the
great work of Christ.

OLD BOWDOIN SONG BOOK

Among recent publications of interest to Bow-
doin men is "An Old Bowdoin Song Book," by
George William Kelly of the Class of 1866. It
contains the verses of twenty-one songs without
music, and is a work which will serve to increase
the rapidly growing store of our college music.
The list of titles shows a range from the war
days to the present, even to verses on the latest
general catalogue:

College Hymn, The Church on the Hill, The
Choice, Bowdoin Hill, The Pines, The Dance,
The Sun Dial, The Left-Overs, The Lost Ideal,
Panel Pictures (in the Chapel), The Library,
Seranade-Junior Prize Declamation, Lines to an
Old Colored Woman, Commencement Hymn, The
Whispering Gallery, The River, The Mall, Mer-
rymeeting Bay, The New Bowdoin, The General
Catalogue, and Oversight.

Just at present when the undergraduates are
endeavoring by means of weekly hums to make
use of the new songs, this collection is especially
welcome.

The following interesting statistics from the
report of the U. S. Bureau of Education : Teach-
ing is now the dominant profession for college
graduates, with 25 per cent.; law, 15 per cent.;
medicine 6 to 7 per cent. ; engineering, 4 per cent. ;
ministry, 5 per cent.

The attendance at the second
The College Sing College hum last Friday gave

proof that there is urgent
need for practice of the new songs which will be
used as the football and track seasons progress.
Although those present were not lacking in en-
thusiasm, a greater number must attend if the
songs are to be rendered in the best manner this
fall. The small attendance might be explained by
the circumstance that there had already been one
gathering earlier in the day to see the football
team off; but it is far better to have such a large
crowd present that there will be no question about
lack of spirit.

tumties tor winter practice

',ce which the new gym will af-

ford, the College may expect that its athletic
teams will gain the lead over their rivals which
the advantage of indoor practice ought to bring.
Although October may seem an early date to dis-

cuss this winter practice, such is not the case.
The men who are going to apply for admission to
the various squads should do so at once, as the
numbers will be limited for the sake of efficiency.
It is the duty of every one who has ability in
baseball or who is a potential point winner for the
track team to apply at once for a place on the
squads, in order that the captains may be able to
gauge all the material available and begin now to
plan their spring campaigns.

„. .... .. Naturally the undergraduates

wish to see the football team

ream g0 through the season with

an unbroken series of victories, and they are not
inclined to be wholly satisfied with the early-sea-
son results. But there is no doubt that the men
on the team are playing as hard as they know
how, there is no doubt that they possess the fight-
ing spirit that is not dismayed when the odds are
against them. Now is the time when the team is
being welded together by combining the new ma-
terial with the old ; it is a time that calls for the
support of every man in College. Let the players
see that Bowdoin to a man is going to back the
team, and this alone will form an important part
of its development into a machine to win the
championship. Fire-hardening the team is not a
process which brings much pleasure to the players
or the undergraduates, but it is one which cannot
fail to bring results when the championship games
are contested.

MUSICAL NOTES

There are an exceedingly large number of men
out for the glee clubs this fall and it will take sev-
eral weeks before the final choice for the year is
made. The candidates are nearly all good singers
and the managers of the club think that with the
old men and the best of the new ones there ought
to be an exceptionally fine chorus. The club will
'iave an extra advantage this year of having Pro-
fessor Wass, who has coached the organization
several seasons, in Brunswick as rehearsals
can be held more often and at shorter notice.

Although the band has had a few rehearsals
this year nothing definite concerning the organi-
zation or the membership has been decided,
ere are about the usual number out and they
are all very good musicians. Lewis, this year's
leader, will begin rehearsals very soon and will
cull out the poor players at once so that there
may be music at the Maine series games.

Although nothing definite has been decided
upon it is understood that this winter the choir
will consist of a double quartette as last year. At

BOWDOIN ORIENT

109

present the members are Mason, Colby, Twom-
bley, Card, West, Page, Tibbetts and Munroe.

A valuable addition to the illustrative material
being collected for the new course in Fine Arts
has been received as a gift from Mrs. I. S. Bangs
of Waterville in memory of her son, Dennis M.
Bangs '91. It consists of a series from the Medici
prints illustrating the Italian and English schools,
and is especially helpful in the work of the course
because of their faithful and beautiful reproduc-
tion of the colors of the original painting.

The College has been fortunate in being able to
decorate the new lecture room, in which the
course in the History of Art is given, with a fine
collection of marbles, bronzes, paintings, and por-
celains loaned by Mrs. Percival W. White in
memory of her son Richard of the Class of 1912
and her husband, who were victims of the Titanic
catastrophe.

Of especial note are the three Bayse bronzes,
Lion and Serpent, The Horse, and The Centaur.
There are copies of well-known classical figures,
such as The Narcissus, The Fighting Gladiator,
The Wrestlers ; there is also an admirable copy of
Vela's Last Days of Napoleon, a charming Fare-
well of the Swallows, a modern French bronze
done by Felix Charpentier in 1893, and a beauti-
ful standing figure called The Angelus, done by
Jacquot in 1887.

The six marbles are a full-sized copy in Car-
rara marble of the bust of the Apollo Belvidere
and five modern figures of ideal significance,
Ruth, Innocence, A Fourteenth Century Page,
Cupid's Lasso, and The Youthful Columbus.

Among the paintings are a large copy of a
Putto by Raphael, charming in color as in other
details, and a "Forest Interior" representing the
deep woods. There are also three large photo-
graphs of The Syndics by Rembrandt, the Sistine
Madonna, and the Immaculate Conception by
Murillo. There are three excellent portraits in
oil of Richard White and an admirable -photo-
graph of his father. A fine water color, On the
Delaware, is by F. F. English. Two large etch-
ings, proofs, are of Albrechtsburg by Mannfeld
and another, St. Paul's by Moonlight, by Francis
S. Walker. A portfolio of unframed pictures in-
cludes several etchings by Haig.

Choice specimens of Royal Worcester, Royal
Dresden, Sevres, and Minton ware, and various
pieces of Cloisonne are shown in cases on the
north side of the room.

As it is impossible to have an attendant in the
room, visitors desiring to see the collection

should apply at the desk in Sculpture Hall. Stu-
dents taking the course in the History of Art
have access to the room during the hours when
the Art Building is open.

Club anD Council Meetings

The Student Council at their meeting Monday
evening considered several important measures.
The question of a class contest after the baseball
games was discussed and a flag rush was settled
upon as the most feasible. A committee was ap-
pointed to work up the affair. The calendar pro-
posed by Gardner '13 was accepted and Eaton '14
was elected to the position of assistant calendar
manager. The Council recommended to the stu-
'ent body that the chapel bell should not be used
for class victories, but should be used for college
celebrations alone. Douglas brought up the mat-
ter of instituting a system of limitations of the
number of student activities for individual stu-
dents. A committee will report on this matter at
a later meeting.

At a meeting of the Gibbons Club in the Deut-
scher Verein room on Thursday evening, the fol-
lowing members were admitted : Frank R. Loef-
fler, 1914; James A. Dunn, 1916; James E. Barry,
1916; and John C. Fitzgerald, 1916. It was voted
that the next meeting should be held at the Theta
Delta Chi House.

At a meeting of the Sophomore class held in
the gym last Tuesday the members were urged to
come out for the track athletics by Coach Morrill,
Captain Haskell of the track team and "Uriah"
Hall, the cross country captain. The talks were
all straight to the point and took effect as there
was a large increase in the number of Sopho-
mores on the field the last of the week.

At a meeting of the Freshman class last Tues-
day Mr. Wiggin of the student council, Captain
Hall of the cross country team and Captain Has-
kell of the track team spoke on Freshman activi-
ties in athletics. The flag rush was also explained
and the class were requested not to ring the
chapel bell for class victories. Elliott S. Board-
man was elected cross country captain.

his father.

Bisbee '03 was on the campus Thursday.

Bacon '15 returned to college Friday.

Large numbers of Bowdoin students attended
Topsham Fair where the back fence proved as
popular an entrance as ever. Among the fea-
tures were Baby Jim, the 700 pound wonder, and
Coach Fish Marsh, who presided over a well pat-
ronized souvenir stand near the gate. Fish was
happy to see old friends and anxious to learn of
track prospects.

On Thursday night, Charles Wyman was se-
verely scalded while taking a shower bath in
North Winthrop. Wyman cried lustily for help
and pounded on the door. His roommate Shepard
hearing his cries rushed to his assistance, pushed
open the door, and pulled him out. By this time
Wyman was painfully scalded about the shoulders
and chest. Dr. Whittier was called and pro-
nounced the burns not dangerous.

Arthur Merrill '14 is coaching the Brunswick
High School football team this fall. His pro-
teges are meeting with fair success in their early

again this year.

A large number of loyal Bowdoin rooters
cheered the football men Friday morning, when
the team left for Hartford to play Trinity.

Dr. Whittier is fast completing the strength
tests of the men in the entering class.

A large number of Freshmen took advantage of
the double holiday to make a trip home.

Nickerson '16 set a record for this year at the

Work on the new gym is rapidly nearing com-
pletion. The plumbing is all done and the electric
fixtures and steam radiators are now being in-
stalled. On last Thursday the water was turned
on for the first time, and the water heating sys-
tem was tried out, with satisfactory results.

Football teams representing the "Deke" and
Alpha Delta Phi fraternities played a hard-
fought but bloodless game of football on the
Delta last Saturday afternoon. After Stuart and
Johnnie Bull had made their last fierce rushes,
and after "Peanut" Verrill had made his last fly-
ing tackle, the score stood 14 to 7 in favor of the
"Dekes."

New Meadows Inn closed last Sunday evening.

The Second Team was scheduled to play Port-
land High last Saturday afternoon, but on ac-
count of the financial risk involved in holding the
contest under such unfavorable weather condi-
tions the Portland management requested that
the game be cancelled. The Bowdoin manage-
ment desired to play but acceded to the wishes of
the Portland boys.

Jupiter Pluvios called off the second game in
the Freshman- Sophomore baseball series which
was to .be played last Saturday morning. The
postponed game will be played.

Professor Hutchins has contributed two arti-
cles to the world of science which are especially
worthy of mention. One of them, "How to Make
Quartz Fiber," was published in the Scientific
American of Aug. 17th. Quartz fiber is consid-
ered the finest and strongest suspension known.
The other article, "The Absorption and Thickness
of Thin Films," was published in the American
Journal of Science, Vol. XXXIV, September,
1912. This article treats of the preparation of
films, of the transparency of the films to long
waves and of the thickness of the films.

Seventy-four volumes of standard works in
general English literature have been received
from the library of the late Rev. George Gannett
'42, who was at one time principal of the Gannett
Institute, Boston.

"The Democratic Mistake," one of the new
books at the Library, by George Arthur Sedg-
wick, discusses government by design, responsi-
bility, the Democratic mistake, the patronage and
the machine, limitations, and the suffrage.

One of the books which bears very much on the
political questions of the day is "Majority Rule
and the Judiciary," by William L. Ransom, which
has just been added to the Library. It aims to
show the legal and historical basis for the recall
of judicial decisions and has an introduction by
Roosevelt.

In his article "The Undergraduate Roosevelt"
in Collier's Weekly for Oct. 12th, Donald Wil-
helm shows the influence of the young man's four
years at Harvard on his later career.

Joseph Schafer, Professor of History in the
University of Oregon, is the author of "Who
Should Go to College and Why" in the October
Review of Reviews. The article shows the in-
creasing importance attached to the practical
studies, advises the abolition of the certificate
plan, and suggests that the examinations test the
quality, not the quantity, of the work.

"An Old Bowdoin Song Book," by George Wil-
liam Kelly '66, is a magnificent symbol of the
deepest love and truest loyalty that one of our
alumni could have for his Alma Mater.

The chivalry which General Chamberlain, of

Maine, the hero of Little Round Top and Gettys-
burg, displayed in receiving the surrender of the
army and colors of Lee's forces at Appomattox is
admirably portrayed in the article by Morris
Schaff in October's Atlantic Monthly entitled
"The Sunset of the Confederacy." Inasmuch as
General Chamberlain has been governor of Maine
and president of Bowdoin College, every loyal
Bowdoin man should read the account.

'54- — It is the sad duty of the Orient in this is-
sue to record the death of one of Bowdoin's most
earnest and famous alumni, Ex-Senator William
Drew Washburn, late of Minneapolis, who died
on July 22nd. But sad as it is to record the pass-
ing of such a noble man, it is an equally great
pleasure to present the facts of such a notable
life. Here was a man who indeed had a big place
to fill in the world and filled it. As lawyer, as pro-
jector of railroads, mills, and other business
propositions, and as statesman, he was a leader in

BOWDOIN ORIENT

the improvement of the Northwest, and it is no
wonder that he has often been called "the first
citizen of Minneapolis." And, a fact of greater
interest to us in our own small world, he was
"loyal forever until death did sever" to the Col-
lege, always interested in its management and its
achievements.

William Drew Washburn was born in Liver-
more, Me., on Jan. 14, 1831. He was a member of
a family famous in Maine history, several of its
members having been in the House of Represen-
tatives and in other important offices. He worked
on his father's farm and then entered Gorham
Academy. From there he entered Bowdoin in
185 1, graduating three years later. During the
entire three years he was dependent on his own
resources and several times he did outside work,
such as being a clerk in the Maine House of Rep-
resentatives.

After graduation, Mr. Washburn studied law,
being first with his brother Israel (later governor
of the state) at Orono and later with Hon. John
A. Peters of Bangor. He was admitted to the bar
in 1857.

In the same year he conceived a great desire to
go West and moved to Minneapolis. Here he
became an agent for the Minneapolis Mill Co., at
the same time carrying on a little law practice.
From this time his rise was by leaps and bounds.
In 1861 President Lincoln appointed him Surveyor
General of Minnesota. While working at this, he
became well acquainted with the lumber resources
of the state and in 1854 erected a large saw mill,
this being his first attempt in the mill promotion
in which he was so prominent later. "

Five years later he started projecting railroads
when he started the Minneapolis and St. Louis
Railroad, of which he was president in 1875.
Later he organized the Minneapolis, Sault Ste.
Marie and Atlantic Railroad, the great outlet of
those twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, and
indeed of the whole Northwest.

His interest in milling later led him to become
interested in the Washburn & Crosby, and the
Pillsbury-Washburn plants, which have a daily
capacity of 30,000 barrels.

Mr. Washburn's political career began in 1874
when he was elected to the Minnesota House of
Representatives. Two years later he was a candi-
date for governor, but lost in the convention. In
1878 he was elected to Congress, being re-elected
in 1880. In 1884 he was again elected to Con-
gress from the fourth district and he declined a
re-election at the close of this term. In 1889 he
was elected to the Senate, serving until 1895.

Mr. Washburn had a most pleasing home in
Minneapolis called "Fair Oaks." In 1859 he mar-

ried Miss Elizabeth Mussy of Bangor. One of
his sons, Stanley Washburn, is a successful man-
ufacturer in Minneapolis, while the other, Cad-
wallader Washburn, is a noted artist in the same
city.

In 1901, Bowdoin gave Mr. Washburn the hon-
orary degree of LL.D. in recognition of his not-
able achievements.

Thus another of our great alumni departs,
leaving us a rich heritage in his eighty-one years
of achievement and giving us an example of
what can be accomplished if one has the will in
spite of seemingly insurmountable disadvantages.

'61. — Ex-Chief Justice Lucilius A. Emery of
the Maine Supreme Court is working on the his-
tory of the Maine courts prior to the separation
from Massachusetts in 1820. This will be a part
of a larger work in which Mr. Emery is planning-
to cover the history of all the Maine Courts.

'71. — Edward Page Mitchell, editor of the New-
York Sun, and the author of Phi Chi, was mar-
ried last July to Miss Ada Burroughs of New-
York. Miss Burroughs has been the literary
critic of the paper of which Mr. Mitchell is edi-
tor. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell took a tour through
the West.

'89. — Rev. Edward R. Stearns, who has been
pastor of the Lancaster, New Hampshire, Con-
gregational Church for the past ten years, has
resigned to accept a position as field secretary of
the Ministers' and Widows' Charitable Fund So-
ciety, a state Congregational organization.

'98. — Donald B. McMillan, who spent the sum-
mer on the coast of Labrador, recently returned
for a few days to Freeport, his home town. Mr.
McMillan is in fine health and has greatly en-
joyed his trip, although he reports that the season
was cold and stormy. The story of the trip, as it
was sent out from Sidney, N. S., was recently-
published in the Portland Express-Advertiser.
Mr. McMillan has now gone on to Boston and
New York on business.

•09. — Harrison Atwood, who will be remem-
bered as one of the most popular men in this,
class, has entered the political field as a worker
for Wilson. Under the auspices of the Wilson
College Men's League, a New York City organi-
zation, he is helping to organize clubs in the va-
rious colleges. Mr. Atwood is also now one of
the directors in the McCann Advertising Corpo-
ration of New York City, having entered the ad-
vertising business immediately after graduation.

'00. — Clifford S. Bragdon was chosen from a
list of 100 candidates to the position of principal
of the high school at Utica, N. Y. Since 1906
Mr. Bragdon had held the position of sub-master
of the Technical High School, Springfield, Mass.

READY BOWDOIN, READY COLBY?

Next Saturday afternoon on Whittier Field
Bowdoin will meet Colby for the first clash in the
Maine State football series. The papers would
have it that Colby is to win this first contest with
ease. Far be it from the Orient to contradict its
more experienced contemporaries.

But even the best of prophets sometimes make
miscalculations. This much is certain, however.
The boys out on the Field are working like Tro-
jans, tackling the dummy, charging, and running-
punts and are determined, every man of them, to
show the College that they are worthy to repre-
sent the "White."

They're not quitting, and it is up to the student
body to get behind them and root next Saturday,
root as they never rooted before, and when the
game is over, and not till then, will we reckon the
score.

These are the Bowdoin-Colby scores of the
past: won by Bowdoin 13, by Colby 4, tied 5.

1894 — Bowdoin 30, Colby o.

1895 — Bowdoin 5, Colby o.

BOWDOIN, 0; TUFTS, 34— OCT. 19

Bowdoin was defeated by Tufts last Saturday,
at Medford, Mass. It was the poorest exhibition
•of football that a Bowdoin team has put up in a

long while. The Bowdoin men were in a daze
from the first touchdown to the end of the game.
They seemed to have completely lost the ability to
tackle a man or to stop a play. Time and again
Tufts rushed the ball through a broken field for
gains of 15 to 40 yards. Play after play shot
around our ends, and Bowdoin didn't stop them !

The reason for that defeat was a simple one.
Bowdoin failed to come back with the punch.
The team lacked that spirit which has won so
many games for old Bowdoin. The players all
fought, but not as one man. The team was not a
machine. It lacked unity.

■ Bowdoin was extremely weak in defense, espe-
cially in tackling. This was very evident from
the gains made by end runs. Beal and Page
smashed the interference in every play, but the
secondary defense failed to get the man with the
ball. The line held fairly well. Leadbetter got
some good tackles and fought his position. But
each man worked alone. They were individuals
and not a team.

Stuart played a fine game at quarter. He ran
the team well and got his punts off fast and sure.
Wetherill and LaCasce made good gains around
the ends. Beal and Page both played steady, con-
sistent football. Wilson and Adams were easily
the stars for Tufts.

IN DETAIL

Bowdoin received the kick and rushed the ball
to Tufts' 15 yard line. Faulkner fumbled. Wil-
son rushed the ball over for the first touchdown
after a few minutes of playing.

Angell scored the next touchdown after a se-
ries of successive gains by line plunges. Wilson
missed the goal.

Ellms ran the kick-off back forty yards through
a broken field. Tufts was then held for downs
and Adams kicked to Bowdoin's twenty-yard line.

Wetherill then made twenty yards on an end
run only to lose the ball on the next play when
Adams captured a forward pass.

Wilson carried the ball to Bowdoin's ten yard
line and Adams carried the ball over the line.
Wilson kicked the goal.

Angell advanced the kick-off to Bowdoin's 40
yard line. After two plunges the ball was on the
25 yard line, and Mitchell on the next play made
a spectacular run to a touchdown. Wilson

BOWDOIN ORIENT

kicked the goal.

Bowdoin kicked to Ellms, who ran the ball back
15 yards. Adams played through the line for 15
yards more. After several successive plunges
Wilson again carried the hall over on an end run.

The Freshmen easily defeated the Sophomores
in the second game of the inter-class series.
Fraser held the upper class team to only three
hits. The timely batting of Knight and McEl-
wee, which scored five runs, coupled with the
many passes which Stetson granted, made it im-
possible for the Sophomore team to win. Glid-
den's base running was a feature. Stetson and
Kuhn worked hard for their team ; Allen hit well
for the Sophomores, while Rogers played a good
game at third. The score :

MORE BRASS NEEDED

The following men have already been chosen
members of the Band : E. W. Bacon, R. C. Ham-
lin, W. T. Hazeltine, F. P. McKenney, I. C. Mer-
rill, Ranson, R. H. Stuart. This brings
the membership up to twenty-one as against
twenty-six of last year.

The loss of twelve members by graduation last
June depleted every section and seriously crip-
pled the band. It is up to the new men to make
good this loss. So far the response has been ex-
cellent, but more men are still needed. The tenor
and trombone sections are especially weak.

New music has been ordered and will probably
be here for the next rehearsal. It is imperative
that all members and applicants for membership
turn out Tuesday night for rehearsal so that this
music may be tried out and worked up for the
coming games. The men will surely do this when
they realize that only by so doing can the usual
good showing of the band be made possible.

STUDENT FORUM

The Y. M. C. A. meeting next Thursday will be
a Student Meeting. Crosby will speak on "Col-
lege Property;" Douglas on "College Honors;"
Haskell on "Team Support ;" Jones on "The New
Gym and a Physical Director." Crowell will pre-
side.

For the last two years the Association has con-
ducted these discussion meetings periodically with
the greatest success. It is their object to bring
before the student body various undergraduate
problems and interests with the view to better un-
derstanding them. All who possibly can find the
time will find it profitable to be present.

The class game last Wednes-
May the Best Man day was in the opinion of the
"ln majority of the onlookers

marred by the unnecessary delay shown by the
losing team. But a more pressing cause for com-
ment was the disregard of the conditions of the
inter-class contest after the game.

The failure of the tug-of-war after the first
game led the Student Council to decide upon a
flag rush as the most acceptable form of contest.
The Council made the decision not in a dictato-
rial spirit but rather with the intent to choose
from several plans the one which would be fair-
est in view of the unequal size of the classes. The
smaller class was to gather about the flag as a
rallying point and would have a chance to keep
possession of it since but a relatively small num-
ber of their opponents would be able to contend
with them at one time. Consequently the action
of the Sophomores in carrying away the flag be-
fore the rush was scheduled to begin violated the
spirit of the plan and made impossible a fair trial.

A subject which should prove
Honor Point System of great interest to all under-
graduates is to be given the
first public discussion at the Student Meeting of
the Christian Association next Thursday evening.
It is the limitation of individual activities by
means of a point system. The plan has been tried
in several colleges with success, hence it is one
certainly worth examination by Bowdoin under-
graduates. The arguments for and against the
system will be outlined at the meeting ; the modi-
fications of the system in different colleges will
be explained; and these considerations should
lead everyone to be present.

Y. M. C. A. MEETING

Bishop Codman of Portland, Episcopal bishop
of Maine, was the speaker at the meeting of the
Christian Association last Thursday evening, the
subject of his talk being "God: how to find Him
and know Him." He told of his own earlier life,
of how he had regarded God in the same light
that most young 'fellows do, and how he had
built an idol of definite shape and character out
of his imagination. But he said that if we are to
find the true God, we have only to lay aside this
idol and look about us. To show how God was
regarded in the time of the Old Testament, we
may take the names of Lord and God and trace
them back to their origin, the one being derived
from Jehovah, a more revered being than the
other, Elohim. Today we are able to understand
to a greater degree than the native of the Eastern
countries in the Old Testament times what God
really means. May we break away from the sen-
timental idols which in our hearts we know to be
false, and may we accept the real God as our
Jehovah and our Elohim.

LETTER FROM STUDENT COUNCIL

At the beginning of the year there seemed to
be a feeling among the undergraduates that some
substitute should be made for the old chapel rush
which used to take place annually between the
two lower classes. Acting in accordance with
this sentiment the Student Council arranged a
tug-of-war which took place October 5. Owing
to the unequal size of the two classes the contest
proved a failure. The Student Council then hit
upon a plan for a regulated flag rush, in which
the defensive position of the sophomores would
counteract their inferiority in numbers. Ar-
rangements were completed for the contest last
Wednesday afternoon when a few sophomores
broke up the plans of the Council by stealing the
flag prepared for the occasion.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

117

Whether the plan of the Student Council for
the flag rush was wise or not is heside the point
— the sophomores who interfered with it vio-
lated the unwritten law of the College in refusing
to abide by the suggestions of the Student Coun-
cil as the popularly elected governing body of the
undergraduates of Bowdoin, whose authority and
influence depends solely upon our oft-praised
Bowdoin spirit. By their act last Wednesday the
sophomore class has manifested a contempt for
the Student Council, and a decided lack 01 that
Bovdoin spirit.

The sophomores have offered as an excuse for
their act in breaking up the rush that they were
greatly outnumbered. Although the freshman
class is larger than the sophomore class it is not
so large as to render a flag rush in which the
sophomores have the advantage of position un-
equal. But the fact was the sophomore complaint
has its foundation in the fact that about two-
thirds of the class were absent from the field — in
other words, its plea rests on the weakness of its
own class spirit.

It is unnecessary to state that the Student
Council does not wish to assume power over the
students or to abuse the power it rightly has —
nothing is farther from its intention. On the
contrary, its members are glad to relieve them-
selves of the many important questions which
they are forced to decide. But as the governing
body of the undergraduates it feels that it must
express its regret that its acts should be set at
naught through the lack of college and class spirit
in the Class of 1915.

—THE STUDENT COUNCIL.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

Rev. Samuel Atkins Eliot, D.D., of Cambridge,
Mass., President of the American Unitarian As-
sociation, the first College preacher of the year,
spoke at Sunday Chapel from the text, "The Lord
hath need." He said in brief:

"People who attend church hear a great deal
about our need of God; it is the custom of relig-
ious gatherings to emphasize this point. We can-
not fail to realize that we have need of a power
larger, greater, and more far-seeing than our-
selves, but we should not forget that God has
need of the man.

"The responsibility for human progress rests
upon human shoulders. God tells us what he
wants us to do, points out the way, and gives us
the power to carry out his instructions. He does
not do the work himself ; that is our duty.

"The best impulses of our lives come unsolicit-
ed. It is from God that come our impulses for

success in life, and a life of service and useful-
ness. We alone cannot make those impulses
good ; we must cooperate with God. He made us
to be voluntary workers and sharers in his plan,
and gave us moral freedom and the power to
serve or rebel. The progress of the world de-
pends upon our humble efforts. In self-respect,
then, we can stand erect — erect for service as
God demands.

"You college men are facing the fact of a
world's ignorance, and every one of you wants to
be of service. In the battle in which you are to
engage you should remember that it is not your
fight but God's. Every single victory of human
progress is just an onward step with God leading
the procession. You should work with that sense
of confederacy that you can rely on God's
strength if he can rely on you."

Two gifts of unusual interest have been re-
ceived from Dr. Carleton Sawyer of the Class of
1881 of Foxboro, Mass. One of these is a library
chair that belonged to Ex-President John Quincy
Adams and was bought at his residence in
Quincy, Mass., by Mr. Fred C. Clark, from whose
possession it has passed to Dr. Sawyer. It is ex-
hibited in the Bowdoin Gallery at the east side
near the Stuart portraits of Presidents Jefferson
and Madison. The other gift is that of a small
Spanish cannon captured in the Philippines dur-
ing the late Spanish-American War by Rear-
Admiral Wilde, who gave it to Dr. Sawyer. The
cannon was sent to the Far East by the Spaniards
about 1530 according to Philippine authorities.
It is placed in Memorial Hall, which also contains
a fragment of the "Maine," a relic of the same
conflict.

fflJitfc r&e jFacuItp

Through an oversight on the part of the editors
the name of Professor Herbert C. Bell, Ph.D.,
did not appear in With the Faculty among those
of the new members. Professor Bell becomes the
Thomas Brackett Reed Professor of History and
Political Science, succeeding Professor William
E. Lunt who is now professor of English History
at Cornell University. Professor Bell graduated
from the University of Toronto in 1903 and re-
ceived his Ph.D. degree from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1909, — the subject of his thesis
for the doctor's degree being "The American
Revolution and the British West Indies." He
also spent half a year at the University of Paris
as well as a year and a half in England doing re-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

search work. He received the Alexander Mac-
Kenzie Fellowship in History from the Univer-
sity of Toronto, the Harrison Scholarship, the
Harrison Fellowship, and the Harrison Research
Fellowship from the University of Pennsylvania.
He is a member of Phi Eta fraternity (honor-
ary), and of Zeta Psi. For the past three years
he has taught Modern European and English
History at the University of Wisconsin.

Professor Lunt whose place Dr. Bell takes left
a deep impress on the College during his year
here. A Bowdoin man himself, he was not only
an inspiring lecturer and a forceful, patient and
vigorous teacher in his chosen field, but he iden-
tified himself with the interests of the student
body. It is to the Lunt plan that we owe our
large entering class this fall. Both faculty and
student bodies feel confident that with his en-
ergy, vigorous intellect, industry and winning
personality he will rapidly become one of the
leaders in the profession.

President Hyde represented Bowdoin at the
inauguration of Dr. Meiklejohn as president of
Amherst College on October sixteenth. In his
address President Hyde dealt with the problems
which a college president must face. These prob-
lems he considered under four main propositions :
First, the alumni and friends of a college must be
kept intelligently interested in the activities and
needs of the college. Second, the income must be
wisely distributed. This presents many difficul-
ties, for every live department considers itself
most important, and wants the largest share.
"The third problem is to select a faculty effective
as individuals in their departments and as a team
for the joint enterprise." Fourth, the undergrad-
uate life must be kept wholesome. Fraternities
must be influenced by personal pressure in the
right direction. "They can be made a mighty
power for right living — but like fires, though
splendid servants, are terrible masters." This
last problem President Hyde considers the presi-
dent's chief duty.

A number of the Faculty expect to attend the
Maine Teachers' Association annual meeting in
Portland, this week. Pres. Hyde and Mr. Mc-
Conaughy are on the list of speakers. All the
other Maine Colleges will be represented at this
meeting.

A meeting of all the presidents of the various
New England Colleges will be held here some-
time in November. This is the first time this
meeting has been held here for fifteen years.

The Saturday Club of Brunswick has an-
nounced their schedule of meetings for the com-
ing year. The College has arranged to have two
of them held in Memorial Hall, and all students

will be admitted free. The meetings will be well
worth attending. The first one comes Nov. 14, at
8 p. m., and will be a concert by Parker's Boston
Imperials, an octette consisting of four superb
male voices, with a trio of flute, violin, and harp
assisted by a prima donna soprano. The second
meeting comes Nov. 18, at 8 p. m. This is an il-
lustrated lecture on The Grand Canyon of Ari-
zona, by Mr. Nat. M. Bridgham.

Prof. K. C. M. Sills as chairman of the Bruns-
wick Chapter of the Red Cross has appointed a
committee to have charge of the active work for
the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis in
this town. Prof. Cram is chairman of the com-
mittee.

Prof. Files has been granted a leave of ab-
sence which he will take in the spring.

The Student Council at its meeting a week ago
elected the two faculty members of the Board of
Trustees of the Bowdoin Publishing Co. Profes-
sor Mitchell was elected with a two-year term
and Professor Ham with a one-year term of of-
fice. The matters of a hockey team and a mid-
winter preparatory school carnival in the new
gymnasium were discussed but no definite action
was taken on either.

The deciding game in the Freshman-Sopho-
more baseball series will be played tomorrow,
weather permitting.

Eighty-five Freshmen will be the proud but
sleepy possessors of fraternity pins tomorrow
morning.

Among the most interesting of the Saturday
Club entertainments to be given this winter are
the following: Nov. 26, Public Health, Our
Greatest National Asset, Dr. Harvey W. Wiley;.
Dec. 10, Ben Greet Players in She Stoops to Con-
quer.

Professor Woodruff has been entertaining
President Ferrin of Forest Grove Seminary for
the last few days.

Edward Snow '14 is principal of the Brunswick
evening school and Francis McKenney '15, his-
first assistant.

Professor Hutchins received the news of the
final games in the world series at the wireless sta-
tion in the Science Building and his returns by
innings were closely followed on the campus.

The following took the Rhodes exams at Au-
gusta last Tuesday: Harold C. Morse, Colby;
Jesse S. Robinson, Alleghany College, Pa.; Earl

The Boston Globe publishes a straw vote of the
Faculty. The results of the poll are: Wilson 12,
Taft 11, Roosevelt 6. "Teddy," however, is re-
ported to have remarked that despite these ap-
parently overwhelming odds, he will still stay in
the contest. In 1908, 24 voted for Taft and one
for Bryan. This year the Dean apparently has
more company.

Students occupying rooms facing the campus
have found a uniform layer of ashes over their
furniture this week. This has not been due to
any volcanic action but to the fact that the cam-

Owing to the painful accident to one of the
Freshmen using the shower-bath in North Win-
throp, the Committee on Grounds and Buildings
has ordered the doors on all old style showers to

this will- obviate the danger of being boiled alive
which the user has heretofore run.

A new chapter house has been opened for the
Phi Chi medical fraternity.

During the past week the Library has procured
some volumes which are especially deserving of
space on the shelves. There are two volumes of
"The History of Music" by Emil Naumann, trans-
lated by F. Praeger and edited by the Rev. Sir F.
Gore Ouseley, Bart., Mus. Doc. The musical de-
partment is also supplied with the "Life of Mo-
zart," in three volumes, by Otto John, translated
from the German by Pauline D. Townsend.
Then there are three volumes on "Johann Sebas-
tian Bach" treating of his work and influence on
the music of Germany, 1685-1750, by Philipp
Spitta, translated from the German by Clara Bell

and J. A. Fuller Maitland.

Among the other noteworthy books is Vasco
da Gama and His Successors by K. G. Jayne.
Many contributions have been made to the works
on English literature, including English Lyrical
Poetry by Edward Bliss Reed, Ph.D., Masters of
the English Novel by Richard Burton, History of
English Literature by Andrew Lang, An Anthol-
ogy of English Prose — 1330-1740, by Annie Bar-
nett and Lucy Dale, and the Poetical Works of
George Meredith, edited by G. M. Trevelyan. Of
another nature is the book entitled Essays in Rad-
ical Empiricism, which contains twelve of Profes-
sor James' philosophical essays, and which is ed-
ited by Professor Perry of Harvard. Then there
is The Problem of Freedom by George Herbert
Palmer.

Besides the foregoing there are many works on
more everyday subjects. Edwin M. Bacon and
Morrill Wyman have a book on Direct Elections
and Law-Making by Popular Vote.

Among the papers now contributing to our po-
litical literature is the Saturday Evening Post,
which in its issue of Oct. 19th presents an arti-
cle by President Taft, entitled The Supreme Is-
sue.

Especially interesting to college men is the
latest edition of Baird's Manual of American Col-
lege Fraternities. This book gives a descriptive
analysis of the fraternity system in the colleges
of the United States, with a detailed account of
each fraternity, including the history, chapters,
chapter houses, fraternity magazines, a descrip-
tion of the badge, and a list of the prominent
alumni of each fraternity.

'40. — In the New York Herald recently ap-
peared a short article on Rev. Edward Robie and
his long pastorate at Greenland, N. H. Mr. Robie
has been pastor of the Congregational Church of
Greenland since Feb. 25, 1852, over sixty years
ago. Mr. Robie is now the oldest alumnus of
Bowdoin College, being over ninety-one years
old. This venerable classmate of Elijah Kellogg
holds another unique record; when the Youths'
Companion was established in 1827, his father
subscribed for it in Edward's name and he still
reads it regularly each week. Probably no other
publication can boast of a reader who has sub-
scribed for it for eighty-five years.

'63. — The following notice which recently ap-
peared, not only imparts to us the pleasing infor-
mation of an honor conferred on one of our older
brothers, but it also shows the high esteem in
which he is held :

"I am asking permission to express for a large
circle of friends, our gladness that a long de-
ferred honor has now fallen upon the head of my
dear old friend, Rev. Addison Blanchard, former-
ly of Denver, Col., now busily employing himself
under the pretence of retirement at Rogers, Ark.
An orthodox man free from the wooden stupidi-
ties of the lower orthodoxy, a stalwart worker, a
modest student, a home missionary expert of half
a century's experience, our regret is merely that
his recognition came from another denomination
whom he is serving unofficially and so late in the
day. 'Doctor of Divinity,' — he is truly that."
Birmingham, Ala. ' GEORGE EVANS.

'72. — It is with a special regret peculiar to it-
self that the Orient records the death of George
Mason Whitaker of this class, for Mr. Whitaker
was the planner and one of the principal found-
ers of this paper. Mr. Whitaker was also promi-
nent in other college activities, and his life has
been a series of signal triumphs, each one being
greater than the one preceding.

George Mason Whitaker was born at South-
bridge, Mass., the son of Thomas and Harriet
(Mason) Whitaker, on July 30, 1851. He pre-
pared for college at the Nichols Academy, Dud-
ley, Mass., and entered Bowdoin in 1868.

While in college, Mr. Whitaker became inter-
ested in journalistic work. He became convinced
that a college paper could live at Bowdoin and
having the courage of his convictions, he with a
few others started the Orient. Thus it is owing

to his courage and hard work that we can point
to our college paper as one of the first in the
state. Mr. Whitaker won a mineralogy prize
while in college and also had a Junior part in
German. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

On leaving college, Mr. Whitaker followed his
journalistic tendency still further by editing and
later owning the Southbridge Journal. Still later
he established the Temple Star, a Temple of
Honor Journal. One of his best known papers
was Our Grange Homes which he edited 188S-
1889. His final journalistic enterprise was The
New England Farmer, which is well known in
all Maine households.

Mr. Whitaker married Miss Allie E. Weld of
Southbridge in 1872.

In 1875 he received from this college the de-
gree of Master of Arts, and later he received
from Lincoln University, Tenn., the degree Sc.D.

In 1899 Mr. Whitaker left the newspaper field
to take up a position with the Massachusetts
State Department of Agriculture to which he had
been appointed. From 1903 until last December
he was chief of the market milk bureau in the
United States Department of Agriculture, spend-
ing most of his time in Washington. During this
time he was also the president of the Farmers'
National Congress.

Last December Mr. Whitaker left this work to
become secretary of the National Dairy Union,
taking up his headquarters at Fort Atkinson,
vVisconsin. There he died on August 29th last.

In the veins of this loyal alumnus was the blood
of the pioneer. It led him, not into other parts
of. the country as it did many of our alumni, but
into hitherto unexplored fields of labor. This it
was that made him a founder of the Bowdoin
Orient, that made him the successful editor of
the various rural journals, and that made him one
of the first to take up dairy work from a scientific
point of view. But great as was his success in
these unusual lines of work, he leaves a greater
claim for our admiration in the assistance he
gave to other people. Whether as editor or farm-
er he was constantly striving to better the condi-
tions of those with whom he had chosen to cast
his lot, thus carrying through life his conception,
the true conception, of the Bowdoin Spirit.

'05. — Arthur L. McCobb, who graduated in this
class and who received an A.M. at Harvard in
1910, has been appointed instructor in German at
that university.

'09.— Harold H. Burton, LL.B., (Harvard
1912) who was married on the fifteenth of June
to Miss Selma F. Smith of West Newton, Mass.,
is now practicing his profession at Cleveland,
Ohio, with the firm of Gage, Wilbur & Wachner.

BOWDOIN? BATES?

Last week a Freshman contributor handed in a
doleful tale about how the Bowdoin team would
limp on the field to attempt to stave off a terrible
defeat from Colby. This week comes an article
as optimistic as the wordiest prospectus of a gold
mine promoter telling how easily Bates would be
crushed. What's the use !

Bowdoin, Bates, Brunswick ! What more
needs be said? If you wish to know what lies be-
hind those three words, what history they are an
index of, glance at the appended list. If you
wish a more colorful account of what might be
expected Saturday ask anyone in Brunswick from
the "kid" of ten who watches from the neighbor-
ing Pines to the oldest inhabitant who "hasn't
missed seein' the boys play for twenty years."

You can never tell what will happen. Bates
will be there with a fighting, aggressive team and
loyal supporters by the hundreds. And Bowdoin
will be there fighting every inch of the way from
whistle to whistle, with just a little more "pep"
and a little more strength, we hope and believe,
than the Bates team. And Bowdoin will be
cheered on through that sixty minutes of play by
the whole student body doing all they can from
the grandstands to help on those lads with the
white-striped stockings.

BOWDOIN, 10: COLBY, 20— OCT. 26

Lowney, Fraser, and nine other football men
came down from Colby Saturday and beat Bow-
doin in the first Maine championship game of the
season. The result of the game was due to the
splendid runs by Lowney and Fraser, and the
poor secondary defense of Bowdoin. At times
it seemed impossible to stop the speedy Colby
backs as they tore around the .ends for long-
gains.

Bowdoin's weakness this season has been in
her ends and secondary defense. The ends have
either failed to smash up the interference, or the
backs have fallen short in their tackles. It is
difficult to place the blame on any one man, but
the trouble is there and must be remedied.

But for all the faults to be found and criticisms
to be made, Bowdoin played a fighting game ;
every man doing his best. The line played as one
man, and with a snap that easily outclassed Colby.
Douglas showed himself to be one of the grittiest
players that ever went into a game. He played
himself off his feet in the first period, but pluckily
refused to come out. He was Bowdoin's center
and the star of her line while he lasted. He came
out only after he was unable to stand from com-
plete physical exhaustion. Leadbetter played a
wonderful game at right tackle. He piled up the
plays sent at his side of the line and opened wide
holes for the Bowdoin backs. He also fought to
the limit of his endurance, and was carried from
the field in the fourth period. What is said of
one lineman can be said of them all. They played
a terrific game and deserve little criticism.
Crosby played a fine game at quarter, making
several good gains himself and showed good
judgment in picking the weak spots in the Colby
line. One of the coolest players in the back field
was LaCasce. He kicked a perfect goal from
field in the second period, making the first score
of the game. "Bob" Weatherill was Bowdoin's
star, both in rushing the ball and in defense. His
run of 48 yards in the first period brought the

BOWDOIN ORIENT

ball within striking distance of Colby's goal posts.
Bowdoin's longest gains were made by ''Bob,"
and it was he that carried the ball over the line
for the one touchdown that Bowdoin made.

Foster, the Freshman halfback, in the short
time he was in the game, showed remarkable abil-
ity in hitting the line. It was his gains that
brought the ball within scoring distance of Colby
in the last quarter.

Colby was penalized 1 1 times for a total of 115
yards, a fact which marred the game greatly
from a spectator's point of view, but was, of
course, necessary. Bowdoin tried the forward
pass three times. Two were unsuccessful, and on
the third Colby was penalized 15 yards. Colby
did not try a forward pass.

No praise can be too high for Lowney and Fra-
ser. They earned every inch of ground that they
made, and it is those two men that Colby can
thank for her victory.

Bowdoin played the best game that they have
this season. Laok of teamwork, their fault of the
first of the season, was certainly not in evidence
Saturday. They fought a great game, and al-
though they lost, a game to be proud of.

FIRST PERIOD

Stanwood kicked off for Colby to LaCasce on
the 15 yard line, who ran the ball back 10 yards.
On the second down a fumble gave the ball to
Colby, Fraser recovering it. Fraser made 7
yards through left tackle and Lowney followed
with three more ; but Colby was penalized 5 yards
because Daicey was off side. Weatherill and
Wood got the next two men for no gains. Colby
was forced to punt, Stuart running the ball back
to the 20 yard line. Faulkner made 4 yards on a
fake kick and Stuart followed with 5 more. La-
Casce took the ball next and made Bowdoin's
first down by a matter of inches. On the next
play, Colby was penalized for being off side.
Weatherill made first down around left end;
Faulkner, Wood and Page were then downed
without any substantial gains. Faukner punted
45 yards to Lowney, who ran back ten, being
tackled by Douglas. Fraser made 4 yards and
then 7 more through the line, finally being stopped
by Douglas. The Bowdoin center was hurt on
this play but gamely refused to leave the field.
Taylor made 5 yards through center but Lowney
lost three on a fake kick. Fraser punted to
Weatherill on the 20 yard line, the tackle being
made by Crossman. On the next play Crossman
nailed Faulkner for a 6 yard loss, but Weatherill
brought the rooters to their feet by breaking
through the line for a 45 yard gain. He was
finally downed by Crossman. LaCasce made a

yard at right end and Colby was penalized for off '
side playing. Faulkner made three and a half at
right end, gaining first down. The quarter ended
with the ball in Bowdoin's possession on Colby's
32 yard line.

SECOND PERIOD

The first two downs resulted in a 6 yard gain
and then LaCasce kicked a pretty goal from the
25 yard line. Score : Bowdoin, 3 ; Colby, o.

Stanwood kicked off to LaCasce who returned
the ball to the 25 yard line. Weatherill made 8
yards through left tackle ; then Murchie replaced
Ladd. Weatherill made 5 yards through center
and Colby was penalized for sitting on his head.
The next four plays were disastrous for Bow-
doin. Faulkner lost 3 yards on a fake kick and
Wood two more on a tackle around play. Pratt
was caught holding and Bowdoin received its
only penalty of 15 yards. Soule of Colby was
hurt and Robbins took his place. Faulkner
punted to Lowney, the kick going low. The Colby
half back caught the ball on his own 40 yard line
and dodging all tacklers ran the ball through the
entire Bowdoin team 60 yards for a touchdown.
Fraser kicked the goal. Bowdoin, 3 ; Colby, 7.

Bowdoin kicked off to Ladd on the 35 yard
line, the Colby man being downed in his tracks.
A fumble lost 5 yards for Colby. Fitzgerald went
in for Faulkner at this point. Two more rushes
were stopped by the Bowdoin line, and Fraser
punted to Weatherill on Bowdoin's 40 yard line.
Fitzgerald was downed for no gain, but Colby
was again penalized for off side play. Weatherill
made 8 yards around left end, and Fitzgerald
made it a first down. Another 8 yard gain was
followed by an incompleted forward pass to
Bowdoin's left end. Beal then tried a run around
right end but was downed for an 8 yard loss.
Another incompleted forward pass gave the ball
to Colby near the center of the field as time was
called for the first half. Bowdoin, 3; Colby, 7.

THIRD PERIOD

The original lineup started the second half.
LaCasce kicked to Daicey who carried the ball
back 15 yards from the 10 yard line. After three
downs, Fraser got away for a 55 yard run for a
touchdown. Fraser then failed to kick the goal.
Bowdoin, 3; Colby, 13.

Leadbetter punted to Lowney on the 43 yard
line and shortly after that Colby was penalized
for holding. Ayer of Colby attempted a field
goal but failed because the ball hit the cross bar.
Pike replaced Douglas. After three downs,
Stuart punted 35 yards to Ayer, who carried the
ball back only 5 yards. L. Brown replaced Beal
at left end. Taylor went through the line for 6

BOWDOIN ORIENT

123

yards ; then Dole tackled Fraser for a loss. At
this point Lowney got away with an end run for
the third touchdown. Fraser kicked out and
kicked the goal. Bowdoin, 3 ; Colby, 20.

Stanwood kicked to Weatherill, who returned
the ball to the 40 yard line. The period ended
with Bowdoin in possession of the ball in the cen-
ter of the field.

FOURTH PERIOD

Crosby replaced Stuart and Moulton replaced
Lewis. Weatherill pushed the ball over for a
first down on the opening rush. Wood made two
yards around right end when a fumble gave the
"ball to Colby. Foster replayed Faulkner. Low-
ney failed to gain and Colby was penalized 15
yards for holding. Colby was obliged to punt to
Crosby. Bowdoin could make only two yards and
laCssce kicked to Ayer on the 25 yard line. Fra-
ser made 5 yards through center but Colby was
penalized 15 yards for holding, the ball being
placed on the 10 yard line. Stanwood punted to
Weatherill, who returned the ball 5 yards and
then made 5 more. Foster made 4 and LaCasce
made first down. J. Brown replaced LaCasce.
Colby was penalized 5 yards for holding. Foster
•made the distance in three downs. Crosby lost a
yard, Foster made 4 yards, and then Weatherill
•carried the ball 6 yards for a touchdown. Wood
kicked the goal. Bowdoin, 10; Colby, 20.

During the remainder of the period, the ball
see-sawed back and forth near the center of the
field.

CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM CHOSEN

The 'varsity cross-country trials were held last
Thursday afternoon. Although the course was
rain-soaked, Hall and Tarbox, the two first men,
seemed fresh when they finished. The surprise
of the afternoon was Bacon '15 who showed good
ability to sprint. Marshall '16 also showed great
form and speed. The winning men finished in the
following order: Hall '13, Tarbox '14, Haskell
'13, Bacon '15, Marshall '16, Norton '13. T.
Emery did not run on account of a bad leg, but he
makes a place on the team. There may be some
changes in the team after the Freshman-Sopho-
more race.

The race was held over a four and one-half
mile course. Hall's time was 28 minutes, 5 sec-
onds, and was very good considering the condi-
tion of the course.

Seven men will run in the all-Maine cross-
country race at 10 A. m. Nov. 2nd in Lewiston.
On Nov. 9, a five-men team will race the Univer-
sity of Vermont.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE

The Freshman-Sophomore cross-country trials
were held Monday, Oct. 21, over the Mere Brook
course. Marshall '16 showed great speed and
was the first Freshman to finish. The men were
picked in the order in which they finished and the
two teams are as follows : Freshman — Marshall,
Boardman, Irving, Hale, Hargraves, and Winter.
Sophomore — McWilliams, Bacon, Porritt, Coxe,
McKenney, and Roberts.

POLITICAL CLUBS COME TO LIFE

The Democratic Club, realizing that the fifth
of November is fast approaching, has begun ac-
tive operations. As a result, this organization
has obtained the services of Senator Johnson,
who will give an address here next Thursday.
The club has also started a canvass of the voters
of the college with the view to finding out how
the sentiment has changed since the straw vote
taken last spring.

The Republican Club has had its troubles owing
to the fact that several of its members have
joined the Bull Moose movement during the sum-
mer. Consequently, the club at present appears
to be a dead issue. There has not been estab-
lished any Progressive organization as yet, but
the number of Bull Moose buttons seems to war-
rant the immediate start of such a club. The
Taft men are meditating upon the question but
to date they have organized no Taft-or-die group
of voters.

In the meantime, the address by Senator John-
son will give the Democratic Club first advantage.

The team did not win the first
Aftermath game of the championship se-

ries. But the College is
proud of the spirit shown by the team on the
field, and is confident that that spirit cannot fail
to bring victory in the games to come. The men
played as hard and as well as they knew how ; and
they played cleanly, as the fact that there was but
one penalty testifies. There was fighting spirit in
the grandstand too. But the cheers must be kept
up continuously as well as given with lots of gin-
ger. The fighting spirit must be manifested all
the time. The closeness of the struggle between
Maine and Bates last Saturday shows that the
game this week will be a hard one ; and for this
reason even more enthusiasm, continued enthus-
iasm, is needed on the sidelines. The Maine
championship is not lost because of the defeat
last Saturday. The fighting spirit may yet win
out for Bowdoin.

Every undergraduate has a double duty to per-
form next Saturday. The first is to be at the

Bates field in the morning to cheer on the cross-
country team as it goes into the race with the
other three colleges ; the second is to put such vim
into the rooting at Whittier Field that the com-
bined fighting spirit of college and team shall as-
sure a victory.

A glance at the Calendar for
More System Needed this week published elsewhere

in the Orient reveals a com-
mon problem for the undergraduate. On Thurs-
day evening at 8 p. m. there will be a Democratic
rally, a Y.M.C.A. cabinet meeting, a Mandolin
Club rehearsal and a meeting of the Board of
Managers. What is the need of this annoying
conflict of dates? It has been the effort of the
Board for some time to have the managers of the
various college organizations make use of the
Calendar in making their dates. Fred Wish in
South Maine Hall, telephone 55, has charge of
the Calendar and will be very glad to inform any-
one desiring to determine a time for a meeting as
to the scheduled events for any evening from
now until Christmas. If we must have so many
meetings, so many outside activities, let's have
some system to their organization and coordina-
tion.

A striking instance of celer-
Alumni Loyalty ity in meeting the needs of

the football team was given
by the alumni present at the recent game with
Tufts. The team was not going to victory that
day, but the unusually large number of Bowdoin
rooters on the sidelines cheered it as loyally as
they would a winning team. And when it was
noticed that the players were in need of blankets,.
a subscription was immediately collected to pro-
vide this necessary part of the equipment. Many
times the alumni have given promptly and gener-
ously in response to an appeal from the College,
but seldom has there been an occasion when the
actual gift of money has followed so speedily
upon the recognition of the need.

THE SPELL BROKEN

For the first time in twelve years the Freshmen
won the series of baseball games with the Sopho-
mores, by taking the third game last Wednesday
afternoon to the score of 12 to 2. The first game
went to the upper classmen with a score of 14 to
2; the second contest to the Freshmen with a
score of 12 to 1.

The winners cinched the game in the first in-
ning. Grierson, the Sophomore pitcher passed
five men in this session. His wildness. coupled

with timely sacrifice hits by his opponents, gave
the Freshmen seven runs at the end of their half
of the inning. From that time until the end of
the eighth, when the game was called on account
of darkness, 1916 gathered five more runs. The
Sophomores played as individuals and not as a
team. Kuhn played a good game for them after
the early innings. The feature of the game was
the batting of McElwee, who secured a three-
bagger and a home run and sent in five of the
twelve scores for his team.

NEW GYMNASIUM INSTRUCTOR

We welcome Mr. P. K. Holmes as the new
gymnasium instructor this year. Mr. Holmes is a
graduate of the Springfield Training School, the
great Y.M.C.A. college, and also has an A.M.
degree from Clark University. He comes here
highly recommenderl by Dr. J. H. McCurdy of
the Springfield School.

126

>'• iWDOIN ORIENT

Mr. Holmes will have charge of the work on
the horizontal and parallel bars, rings, horse, and
other branches of heavy gymnastics. These
branches of work were formerly very popular
here at Bowdoin, but of late years have hardly
been taught at all. But the new instructor, to-
gether with the new gym and installation of new
apparatus should make this work very interesting.

Mr. Holmes will also be a student at the Medi-
cal School, and since he played four years on his
football team at college, he will be ineligible to
play here. He has brought Mrs. Holmes with
him to Brunswick, and both express themselves
as very much pleased with the town and College.
The College extends its heartiest greetings to him
and sincerely hopes that he will meet with all
kinds of success here.

THE COLBY RALLY

Last Friday evening the first big football rally
was held in Memorial Hall. Paul White started
things going by calling upon the 200 or more fel-
lows present for a round of Bowdoin cheers and
the way they responded showed that the old-time
Bowdoin spirit was very much in evidence. Ced-
ric Crowell then called on Jim McConaughy, Pro-
fessor Nixon and Mountfort, who ' could see
nothing but a victory for the White. But it was
Coach Bergin's speech that brought the enthus-
iasm to the climax. Speaking with great earnest-
ness he declared that he had not eleven men going
on the field Saturday but a real team that would
fight cleanly for Bowdoin every minute of the
game.

STUDENT MEETING

About seventy-five students attended the Stu-
dent Meeting in the Y.M.C.A. room Thursday
night. Cedric R. Crowell presided, and first in-
troduced Laurence A. Crosby, who spoke on
"College Property." He mentioned Bowdoin's
fine buildings and beautiful campus, and asked
the fellows to treat them properly because, first
of all, they are the result 'of years of toil and
sacrifice on the part of the alumni and friends of
the college, and, furthermore, because the stu-
dents cannot expect to have better buildings un-
less they take good care of those they already
have.

Leon E. Jones then outlined briefly the work in
the new gymnasium for the year. He showed
the important part the gymnasium will play in
developing better athletic teams, and pointed out
the opportunities for physical betterment which
it would give the individual students. He said
that the gymnasium became a reality because of

the liberality and earnest endeavors of the college
men of last year, the alumni, and, last but not
least, Dr. F. N. Whittier ; and that all they ex-
pected in return was that the student should use
it to the best advantage.

Captain C. B. Haskell of the track team then
spoke briefly on "Team Support." He said that
last year's athletic teams failed because a great
part of the material available for them did not
come out, and urged every man in college who is
physically able to try to make at least one of the
college teams. He also laid particular stress upon
the attendance of the student body at games.

Paul H. Douglas, the last speaker, showed
the evils of the honors system now in vogue at
Bowdoin and the majority of colleges whereby a
very small percentage of the men in each class
monopolize the student activities much to their
own detriment and to that of the rest of the class.
As a remedy for this condition of affairs he advo-
cated the point system which has been given a
thorough trial and is now in successful use at
Brown, Colgate, Rutgers, Wesleyan, and several
other colleges. By this system each student ac-
tivity is rated at a certain number of points, and
a limit is set, which no student is allowed to ex-
ceed. Douglas closed by assuring the fellows
that the Student Council would thresh the mat-
ter out thoroughly, and adopt the plan that
seemed best for the College.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

At Sunday Chapel, President Hyde said that he
had recently heard undergraduates spoken of as
an irresponsible lot, who chose their courses ac-
cording to fancy and ease, but that here at least
he thought they were thoughtful in choosing
courses and diligent in the prosecution of them.
The honest choice of subjects is better than pre-
scription. President Hadley pointed out at the
convention in Portland that the principle of
choice or the principle of prescription should not
be fancy, ease, or vocational profit, but citizen-
ship, not in the narrow political sense, but in the
broad social sense. This consists not only of liv-
ing in and supporting our institutions, but having
a hand in them and being so trained for leader-
ship that we can preserve their worth. This we
all agree to whether we believe in election or pre-
scription. Real religion consists in going out into
the world and making things better for our pres-
ence; secular efficiency is the real test. He lik-
ened the part of the church to that of the cheer-
ing section in a game, saying that it is not of ulti-
mate final value, but is indispensable for keeping
up the spirit of devotion on which citizenship in
a broad sense depends.

THE MEDICAL SCHOOL OPENS

The Medical School opened its ninety-third
year of instruction last Monday with an entering
class smaller than usual because of the new en-
trance requirement of at least one year's work in
an approved college. This extra requirement is

The Edward Mason Dispensary at Portland,
which will be ready for occupation this fall, is an
important addition to the school, and will furnish
an abundance of clinical work. The following
-men have been added to the faculty :

William Herbert Bradford, A.M., M.D., Pro-
fessor of Clinical Surgery; Henry William Mil-
ler, M.D., Lecturer in Mental Diseases; Henry

Hyler was named as alternate.

There has recently been organized in connec-
tion with the First Parish Church a Young Peo-
ple's Society which meets each Sunday evening at
7:15. Dr. Loomis is president of this society, Mr.
Alvord is a member of the Program Committee,
MacCormick '15 is chairman of the Membership
Committee, and Churchill '16 is on the Entertain-
ment Committee.

In the Tennis Tournament Card '15 beat Nixon

An example of college spirit which should live
long in the minds of Bowdoin men was shown by
Bob Lawlis '11 and Harry Woodward '10 at the
recent game with Tufts. These two fellows, see-
ing the Bowdoin team unprotected from the rain,
took up a collection among the alumni present for
the purchase of blankets. The amount subscribed
will enable the entire team to be provided.

A rehearsal of the Mandolin Club was held last
Thursday evening with fifteen men present. It is
reported that much excellent material is in sight
and the prospects for a good club this year are
very favorable.

Mr. Alfred O. Booth, secretary of the local
Y.M.C.A. at Portsmouth, N. H., will speak at the
next Thursday meeting. The subject, "A Mys-

The Freshman religious committee, made up of
representatives from the Freshmen in the frater-
nities and Bowdoin Club, will meet sometime next
week instead of this evening.

alumni Department

'42. — It is now the sad duty of the Orient to
record the death of Henry Hill Boody, that loyal
and well known alumnus, who at the time of his
death was next to the oldest graduate of Bowdoin
in respect to graduation and who was the oldest
in respect to age, being nearly ninety-six years
old. Mr. Boody was well known in Brunswick,
having attended the Commencements for many
years. He died in this town on September nth.

Henry Hill Boody was born in Jackson in No-
vember, 1816. He entered Bowdoin in 1838,
graduating at the age of twenty-six. His high
scholarship and his maturity justified his ap-
pointment at the Commencement at which he
graduated, to a tutorship, this being the first and
only instance of this in the early history of the
college. In 1845 he was elected to the Chair of
Rhetoric and Oratory in this college and held this

position for nine years.

At this point he entered upon a political career
which was brilliant and productive . He was a
member of the State Senate for one year and im-
mediately after, was sent to the State House of
Representatives. While there he was very active
in the debates. He was influential in passing an
act which, for the first time, involved the question
of whether the State legislature has the right to
control corporations when public convenience re-
quires such control. Soon after this he left the
political field although only his consent would
have been necessary to give him the nomination
for the House of Representatives.

Perhaps the most noted feature of his political
life was that Mr. Boody was one of the prime
movers in the formation of the Republican party
in this State. In the spring of 1854 he spent some
time in Washington and during that period he be-
came very much disgusted with the two old par-
ties, the Whigs and the Democrats. As a result
when he came home, he introduced Samuel Fes-
senden and a few other prominent politicians in
the new party and under his leadership they built
up a Maine branch of that organization.

Mr. Boody was also noted for his railroad ac-
tivities. In addition to many other enterprises,
he was concerned in many land and financial
transactions in Hudson, Wisconsin, for several
years. He was the originator of the plan by
which the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
was formed, for after another smaller road had
been declared bankrupt and the stockholders
sought some way out of the difficulties, he sug-
gested the solution which has resulted in the
building up of this enormous system. It was also
in his office that the first subscription for stock
of the Union Pacific was made.

The later part of his life Mr. Boody spent in
the banking business, being connected for over
thirty years with the firm of Boody, McLellan Co.
of New York.

In 1845 ne married Charlotte M., the daughter
of the late Prof. Newman, and for thirty-one
years until death took her from him theirs was a
most happy home. This union resulted in a son
and a daughter, both of whom the father out-
lived.

From 1864 until 1871, Mr. Boody was a trustee
of this college.

Thus has passed away one of the oldest of our
big family of brothers, one who through obtain-
ing a high place in the world, not only brought
honor on his Alma Mater, but also aided his fel-
low man by bringing the East nearer the West,
and advanced those interests which today help,
to make possible our lives of ease and comfort.

BIG STUDENT RALLY TONIGHT

All of Bowdoin College, whether Bull Moose,
Democrat or Republican, of all ranks and sta-
tions, from the President to the humble Freshman
(faculty women excepted), will meet tonight in
Memorial Hall to pass away the anxious hours in
riotous amusement with apples and cider, and
hear the returns as they come in from all parts
of the country. Of course the Band will be there
and the usual features of these events. Johnny
Dunphy may spring the never-old "Gunga Din,"
and smokes of all kinds will be there. The com-
mittee of the Student Council has been working
hard on the program for the evening. Secretary
Crosby announces the following communications :

New York, Nov. 2.

BOWDOIN, 6 ; BATES, 7— NOV. 2

If hard clean football, if eleven determined
fighting players deserve a victory, then Bowdoin
deserved a tie Saturday. She went into the game
to win, and fought with that purpose every
minute of play. There is not a criticism to be
made of the team. They played a great game, the
kind of a game that it hurts to lose.

One very noticeable thing about the team Satur-
day was the way the weak points had been
strengthened. The end positions, that have
caused so much trouble this season, were filled by
two good men, Brown and Fitzgerald. They both
made some splendid tackles and broke up runs
that threatened to cost Bowdoin heavily. They
were down the field under every punt, smashed
up end runs, and spoiled several plays behind
Bates's own line. Another weak spot has been
Bowdoin's secondary defense. Saturday it was a
strong point. When a Bates runner was tackled
behind Bowdoin's line he went down with a crash
that stopped him short.

The line, up to the third period, held like iron.
Bates had difficulty in gaining even a yard
through it. The linemen fought together and
with but two thoughts, to stop Bates and to open
holes. Douglas again showed of what stuff he is
made. He played a game the first period that was
impossible for a man to keep up. He came out in
the second period only after he was unable to

BOWDOIN ORIENT

stand. Barry took his position and played a fine
steady game the last three quarters. Lewis and
Pratt showed up well, playing low and hard and
opening wide holes. Leadbetter put up the kind
of game that is typical of Bowdoin teams. He
fought without letup with very ounce of his
strength from the kick-off to the last whistle.
Captain Wood set his team a conspicuous ex-
ample of fight and determination. He went into
the game for all there was in it and made a splen-
did showing.

"Bob" Weatherill played THE great game of
f.ie day. His short end runs and line plunging
brought the Bowdoin section to its feet time and
again. His long, hard, clean tackling was that
kind that stops a runner in his tracks and admits
no possibility of further gain. "Bob" was easily
the st ir of both teams. LaCasce and Foster
played strong consistent football, made good
gains, and were strong in defense. "Chuck"
Crosby showe'd excellent judgment and good gen-
eralship at quarter. He mixed his plays well and
ran his team fast and smoothly. Faulkner played
a sensational offensive game.

Dyer and Dennis starred for Bates. They were
hard line plungers and fast in long runs. Bates
had a strong, evenly balanced team and was a
worthy opponent. They too put up a game that
deserved victorv.

THE GAME IN DETAIL:

LaCasce kicked to Bates on Bates's 25 yard line.
Bates in the next play made only a yard and a
half. Eldridge made 5 yards and this was fol-
lowed by a gain of 5 yards by Talbot. Bowdoin
was penalized 5 yards for off-side playing and
this gave the Bates team first down. Eldridge
fumbled and Fitzgerald recovered the ball. The
ball was then in Bowdoin's possession on Bates's
38 yard line.

Foster made 5 yards on a play through the line
and LaCasce made first down on another 5 yard
gain. Foster made a yard and Weatherill suc-
ceeded in carrying the ball for a gain of 3 yards.
He was tackled by Harding. Foster made 4 yards
more and LaCasce made first down in the next
play. Weatherill made first down in the next two
plays and brought the ball to Bates's 6 yard line.
Weatherill failed to make any gain in the next
play but Bates was penalized 5 yards for off side
playing. It looked like a sure touchdown for
Bowdoin. Everybody in the grandstand came to
their feet and the band played Bowdoin Beata;
but a Bowdoin man fumbled the ball and Bates
recovered the fumble.

Talbot punted to Foster on the 32 yard line
who after a short run was downed by Danahy.

Weatherill made 7 yards, followed by 3 yards
gain by Foster. Weatherill then went through
the line for 20 yards. This brought the ball with-
in a few yards of the goal posts. Once more
Bowdoin fumbled, but this time Foster recovered
it on the 3 yard line. Again the crowd came to
their feet and the band played, this time not in
vain, for in the next play, Foster carried the ball
over for a touchdown. Wood kicked out to
Weatherill and LaCasce's attempt to kick a goal
was a failure.

LaCasce kicked to Danahy on the 23 yard line.
Talbot attempted a gain but was tackled by Doug-
las. Bates then made 5 yards in the next two
downs so Talbot was forced to punt to Weatherill
in the middle of the field. Foster made a gain
of 5 yards. Bowdoin lost 5 yards on a fumble
but Foster recovered the ball. In the next play
Weatherill made no gain. LaCasce punted to
Talbot who was stopped from making a long run
by a feature tackle by Fitzgerald. Bates and
Danahy made 4 yards each in the next two plays.
Douglas tackled Dennis for no gain. Bates made
first down on Bates's 45 yard line. Eldridge and
Bates made 3 and 2 yards respectively and Bow-
doin was penalized 5 yards for off-side playing
in the next two rushes. Eldridge made 2 yards
and the period ended with the ball in Bates's pos-
session in the middle of the field.

SECOND QUARTER

Bates carried the ball 4 yards and Talbot went
through center for 2 yards. Bates made 3 yards
in the next play. Dennis made 3 yards and Wood
held Bates for no gain. Dennis then made a
pretty forward pass.

Bates made a yard and a half, Dennis 4 and fin-
ally Weatherill tackled Dennis for a small loss.
Eldridge made 2 yards in the next play and then
made an incompleted forward pass.

This gave Bowdoin the ball. Weatherill was
tackled by Eldridge and Shepard in the next two
plays for no gains. Fitzgerald lost 5 yards and
LaCasce punted 25 yards. Dennis lost a yard but
redeemed himself in the next play by gaining two.
Talbot made 3 yards but was forced to punt.

Weatherill received the ball and was downed
by Harding after a run of 5 yards. Weatherill
was tackled for no gain by Shepard. Foster
made 1 yard, Leadbetter lost a yard, and LaCasce
punted to Bates. Weatherill recovered Eldridge's
fumble. Foster made 2 yards and Faulkner, who
replaced him, under two more. LaCasce made 2
yards, but Weatherill failed to push the ball over
for first down. Bates and Dennis made no gains.
Talbot punted to Faulkner who made an excellent
run of 20 yards. The half ended 6 to o in Bow-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

131

doin's favor.

THIRD QUARTER.

LaCasce kicked to Danahy who brought the
ball back to the 30 yard line. Bates, tackled by
Lewis made only a yard. Eldridge made no gain,
and Fitzgerald tackled Dennis for a loss of a
yard. Talbot punted to Wcatherill who made a 5
yard run and was finally tackled by Dyer. Foster
made 7 yards followed by another gain of 1 yard.
Crosby made first down on the next play. This
was followed by an incompleted forward pass.
Weatherill made 1 yard and Foster two. Bates
intercepted a forward pass by Crosby.

Eldridge made a yard and Bates two. In the
next play. Dennis made a 45 yard run and was
finally stopped on Bowdoin's 15 yard line. Here
Dyer replaced Bates and Stilman replaced Dyer.

Stilman lost one yard and this gave Bowdoin
the ball. Weatherill made 3 yards in two plays,
Foster two more. LaCasce punted to Dennis.

Dennis made two yards and Bowdoin was pen-
alized 5 yards for playing off side. Dennis made
a 30 yard run. Dyer made a yard in each of
the following plays and Bowdoin was again pen-
alized 5 yards. In the next few plays, the ball
was brought within a yaid of the goal posts. In
the next play, Dyer barely pushed the ball over
for a touchdown. Dennis kicked the goal.

LaCasce kicked to Danahy who was tackled
by Wood. Talbot kicked to Weatherill on the 48
yard line. Weatherill was tackled by Harding
and gained only I yard. Bates was penalized
5 yards for off-side playing. This gave Bowdoin
first down on the 50 yard line . Weatherill made
4 yards and the quarter ended with the ball on
Bates's 46 yard line. Score: Bowdoin, 6; Bates,

FOURTH QUARTER.

Faulkner replaced Foster. Weatherill made 9
yards but Bowdoin was penalized 15 yards for
holding. Faulkner made a 27 yard run and Dyer
broke up a forward pass. After the next three
plays Talbot punted to Weatherill. Faulkner
made no gain but Weatherill made 5 yards on the
next play. Faulkner made ten and Leadbetter re-
covered Weatherill's fumble. Crosby made no
gain and Stilman recovered a fumble. Dyer made
3 yards in the next two plays and Bates was pen-
alized 5 yards for being offside. Dennis was
tackled by Weatherill. On a fluke the ball was
acquired by the Bates team. Dyer made first
down in the next two plays and a gain of 5 yards
in the two following. Dennis made 5 yards and
in the next play Lewis recovered the ball on a
fumble.

Harry Faulkner made 5 yards and Weatherill

made two. Here Moulton replaced Lewis. Faulk-
ner made two runs of 10 and 15 yards. Weath-
erill made 3 yards and Bates was penalized 5
yards for offside playing.

Faulkner made 18 yards in the next two plays.
Beal replaced Fitzgerald. Bowdoin now hoped to
score but their hopes were shattered in the next
few plays when they lost 15 yards. Then owing
to the bad pass, LaCasce's attempt to kick a field
goal was a failure. On this play the Bates team
recovered the ball and after a few short gains
the game ended.

MAINE STATE CROSS-COUNTRY RACE

The University of Maine won the first annual
Maine Intercollegiate Cross-Country Run at
Lewiston Saturday morning with a score of 20
points. Bowdoin was a second with 45 points.
Bates with 62 points finished third, and Colby
with 102 points was fourth. The cold, penetrat-
ing wind and the ground saturated with Friday's
rain made fast time impossible. Power of Maine
was the winner, covering the course of nearly five
miles in 24 minutes, 42 seconds. Bell and Town-
er also of Maine were right at his heels, and took
second and third places respectively. Captain
Hall of Bowdoin, running in fine form, finished
fourth, half a minute behind the winner. Bur-
gess of Maine came in fifth, and Emery and Tar-
box of Bowdoin showed their speed by capturing
sixth and seventh places respectively. The others
finished in the following order: Parker, Bates:
Morris, Maine; Rand, Colby; Syrene, Bates;
Houston, Bates; Haskell, Bowdoin; Tibbetts,
Bates; Bacon, Bowdoin; Clark, Maine; Doe,

It will be noticed that a meet-
Dramatics i"g of the Dramatic Club will

be held tomorrow evening to
organize for the year and elect officers. It seems
to the Orient that this branch of Bowdoin's stu-
dent activity has received far too little attention
from the student body at large. As a result of
this the handling of the club's affairs has fallen to
a small group and the results have been only par-
tially satisfactory. The club at present is organ-
ized in a very loose way. There is no competitive
system for managers, or if there is any it is not
advertised; there is no regularity of election; and
membership is a very uncertain thing varying
from year to year according to no fixed principle.
There is a constitution, but this is a very indefi-
nite affair and resembles Locke's Grand Model in
its application.

In short there is need for some real live organ-
izers in the Masque and Gown and for some new
blood to give new life to the organization. Some-
thing must be done so that it will become worthy

of the name of the Bowdoin College Dramatic
Club and so that the dramatic interest of the fac-
ulty and town will be turned towards it. We do
not wish to criticise the past management of the
club's affairs. Its members have done all they
can to advance the interest in dramatics here at
Bowdoin, but a great deal more material is
needed and better organization to make it realize
the hopes of those most interested.

Now if ever is the time for
Fight! Fight I Fight! the fighting spirit of the col-
lege to be displayed. De-
feated in the first two games for the state cham-
pionship, the team faces its hardest game next
Saturday. The two opening games were bitterly
contested, especially the struggle with Bates
which the Bowdoin players strove so valiantly to
win. For their work in this game alone, it is the
duty of every undergraduate to be on the field at
Orono to show the men that Bowdoin feels the
deepest loyalty toward the team which has fought
so hard. The dopesters can see nothing ahead
but a Maine victory. But the players are going
on the field with the conviction that they will put
up the battle of their lives. Let everyone see to
it that the same conviction sends him to back the
team with the slogan of "Fight, Fight, Fight !"

The Class of 1914 is to be
A Step Forward congratulated on the forward

step it has taken in passing a
resolution to provide for the return to the class
treasury of any surplus from the receipts of the
assemblies, the Bugle, and the Ivy Day commit-
tee. The resolution also provides for the auditing
of all accounts by a committee chosen by the
president. The surplus so returned is to be used
as the class may provide. The Orient believes
that this resolution marks an immense improve-
ment in the administration of Junior functions
and establishes a sound precedent to be followed
in vears to come.

'THE BLANKETS HERE

We publish the following letter from "Bob"
Lawlis '11, which is self-explanatory:

October 28, 1912.
My dear Dr. Whittier : —

I am sending to you by express today one
dozen heavy black blankets, bearing the white
"B," for the use of the eleven in the remaining
games this fall. They are not to be the property
of the men when the season is over, but are to be
kept with the other property of the athletic asso-
ciation and be for the use of the baseball and

BOWDOIN ORIENT

133

track teams at the games and meets next spring
and for the eleven again next fall and in coming
years. The blankets are the best we could buy,
and ought to be a good protection for the men
when going to or from the field, or when on the
sidelines.

The money for these blankets was given by
about seventy of the young alumni who saw the
Tufts game at Medford and who showed their
loyalty to a badly beaten team in this substantial
fashion as well as by cheering it to the bitter end
of the contest. At that game the team had a long
walk from the gymnasium to the field in the rain
and had to stand round between the halves with
no blankets for protection, though the Tufts men
kindly loaned several of their blankets for our
subs on the sidelines.

We hope that the blankets will be accepted and
used in the spirit in which they are given, and
they may remind those who use them of the un-
failing interest and loyalty of the alumni body in
all of old Bowdoin's athletic activities.
Sincerely yours,

R. M. LAWLIS '11.

INTER-CLASS CROSS-COUNTRY RACE

The Sophomores won their cross-country race
held with the Freshmen on Monday, Oct. 28.
They had twenty-seven points, while 1916 had
twenty-eight. The race was run over a four and
one-half mile course and, in spite of much rain,
the roads were in fair condition.

Marshall '16 was the first man to finish. He
came in with a good sprint and seemed to be in
good condition. His time was twenty-seven min-
utes.

The other men finished in the following order:
McWilliams '15, Bacon '15, Boardman '16, Irving
'16, McKenney '15, Coxe '15, Hargraves '16, Por-
ritt '15, and Hale '16.

Meetings anO dallies

This past week has been one of political activ-
ity within and without the College. The Pro-
gressives started things with a short campaign
rally in front of the Eagle Hotel last Monday at
which Governor Johnson, the Progressive candi-
date for Vice-President, gave a short speech.
Last Thursday a very successful rally was held
in the Town Hall at which President Hyde and
Senator Johnson '79 expounded the doctrines of
Democracy. The Progressives held another ral-
ly last Friday evening. Today the big game is
pulled off and tomorrow we shall know whether
Yale, Harvard or Princeton is the victor.

The Student Council held a meeting last Mon-
day evening, but nothing of outside interest was
discussed. The Board of Managers held a meet-
ing last Friday noon and cleared up some finan-
cial matters. The Treasurer reports that a larger
amount than was estimated for in the budget is
on hand and that all but a dozen of the students
joined the Association. The Bugle Board held a
meeting last Tuesday evening and talked things
over quite extensively.

At a meeting of the Junior Class held last Wed-

134

KOWDOIN ORIENT

nesday noon in Memorial Hall the following reso-
lution drawn up and passed by the Bugle Board
was adopted unanimously : ''Resolved that the
chairman of the Assembly committee, Ivy com-
mittee and manager of the Bugle keep an accu-
rate account of all money received and spent,
with vouchers for all expenditures, that all sur-
plus from assemblies and Ivy be turned back to
the treasurer, that all surplus from the Bugle
over $50 net be turned back to the treasury, the
surplus up to that amount to be kept by the man-
ager, that all deficits of assemblies, Ivy day or
Bugle be assumed by the class, and that the ac-
counts of the treasurer, chairman of Ivy and As-
sembly committees be carefully audited by a
member of the faculty chosen by the president of
the class.

At a well attended rally in the Town Hall last
Thursday evening under the auspices of the Bow-
doin Democratic Club, President Hyde and Sena-
tor Johnson set forth the contentions of the party,
expressing clearly their views of the presidential
situation. President Hyde in introducing Sena-
tor Johnson spoke in part as follows :

"All the candidates are good men ; but there are
degrees of goodness. President Taft has advo-
cated many excellent policies, but he has made
three fatal mistakes in withholding patronage in
an attempt to coerce a portion of his party; by
intrusting the execution of the conservation pol-
icy to the abominable Ballinger ; and by approv-
ing a tariff devised and dictated by private inter-
ests.

"Colonel Roosevelt is a good and great man
who has done much for the welfare of his coun-
try, but his policies have been hastily drawn to-
gether, his party has not been trained into a deep
and mature conviction of their urgency, and fur-
thermore he lacks a majority in Congress. His
past record on the tariff question is also highly
unsatisfactory.

"Woodrow Wilson is a man of superb indepen-
dence, unquestioned ability, and spotless integrity,
a man who stands for deliberate and steady prog-
ress with a responsible party behind him."

Senator Johnson then spoke as follows :

''The Democratic party has risen to the occa-
sion, and nominated a man who stands for pro-
gressive principles. Wilson's position has not
removed him from the world but has given him
an insight into the needs of the country today.
His party has fought with the motto: 'Equal
justice to all; special privilege to none.' Wilson
and his party have pledged themselves to apply
tariff with favoritism squeezed out ; they have
shown themselves in sympathy with those who

demand that the people have more control in the
government. If Wilson is elected, the people will
have a progressive administration looking toward
the future participation of the people in the af-
fairs of this government."

The Bates Rally last Friday evening was of a

from each of the colleges and universities rep-
resented.

Arthur Howe, coach of the Yale football team
and captain of the team in 191 1, and picked by
Walter Camp as All-America quarterback last
year, will speak at a students' conference to be
held here February 28, March 1 and 2. 1913.

€f)e librarp Cable

Of great convenience to the students will be
the Standard Encyclopedia, in twenty-five vol-
umes, published by the Funk and Wagnalls Co.,
which has just been added to the Library. Per-
haps the addition of deepest interest to Bowdoin
men, however, is the bound copy of pleadings,
proceeding's, briefs of argument, and court's
opinion, in the case of Batt et. al., Executors of
Coombs v. Treasurer of Massachusetts, on the
inheritance tax, the work being presented by Ed-
ward P. Payson '69, who plead the case for the
executors. In the first place, the arguments in-
volve the practical working out of the inheritance
tax. Of prime interest to Bowdoin men, how-
ever, is the fact that the court held that with the
Act of Separation in 1820, Massachusetts ceased
to maintain the corporation of Bowdoin College,
inasmuch as the sovereignty had passed to the
State of Maine.

More universal in its appeal for attention is
"The Building of the Alps," by T. G. Bonney,
Sc.D., LL.D., F.R.S. The work contains forty-
eight illustrations, and treats of the structure and
growth of the Alps, their glaciers, their physical
changes, their meteorology, their vegetation, their

BOWDOIN ORIENT

135

wild animals, and the relation of the Alps to
man. Besides this work, there is Plutarch's
"Nicias and Alcibiades," by Bernadotte Perrin,
Professor of Greek Literature and History in
Yale University. The Bureau of the Census has
sent a final and enlarged bulletin on the Agricul-
ture of Maine. Of special interest to the chemi-
cal department will be "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Sewerage," which is
invaluable for anyone who has to make analyses
of water.

Of a more vivacious nature is the article by
Walter Camp in the November number of The
Outing Magazine entitled "Making a Football
Team." There are many plates illustrative of
some of the important plays. While a fellow is
in the football mood, he had better read "The
Redemption of Fullback Jones" by James Hoffer
in the Saturday Evening Post for Oct. 26th. That
paper must appeal to a large circle of readers if
any periodical ever did, since it publishes an arti-
cle first by one presidential candidate, then by an-
other. The Oct. 26th number contains "The De-
ceitful Red Herring" by Theodore Roosevelt and
"Cut Out Privilege," by Woodrow Wilson.

At the meeting of the associated charities in
Saco last Tuesday President Hyde was one of the
principal speakers. In a very forcible address he
told of the faults in the child labor system and
suggested some rather drastic changes. In brief
they were that : the children should not be al-
lowed to work, they should have sufficient play-
grounds, and they should not be adjudged crimi-
nals until after the sixteenth year. The talk was
received with applause and was concurrent with
the general sentiment of the meeting.

At a meeting of the New England Association
of Colleges and Preparatory Schools at New
Haven, Nov. 1 and 2, Mr. McConaughy repre-
sented the College.

Ten men have been dropped from the Harvard
varsity because of their inability to keep up in
their studies.

The students of the University of Illinois have
a novel stunt of wearing a specially made univer-
sity cap to all athletic contests. Over two thou-
sand caps have been sold.

Harvard undergraduates are cogitating upon
the ruling of the faculty by which all students
in the college are required before admission to the
Junior class, to pass an oral examination in
French and German.

"Tag Day" has been instituted at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska in order to support athletics.
Tags are sold at three dollars apiece and one ad-
mits the purchaser to all home contests during the
year.

A local wireless company has presented Har-
vard with a new and complete wireless outfit.

Brown has abolished Freshman football on the
ground that it handicaps the second team.

The University of Missouri last year canned,
among other things, 25,000 cans of tomatoes.

Drastic measures are being used at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina to stamp out hazing. The
action results from the death of a student who
fell and cut an artery while being hazed.

The alumni of Yale will erect a twenty-story
club house upon the site of the present one in
New York City. It will cost approximately

$1,000,000.

The fraternities at Dartmouth are faced with a
critical situation in regard to their pledging sys-
tem. Unless they institute some radical change
immediately there is danger of interference and
legislation on the part of the trustees. A Sopho-
more pledging system is proposed and its radical
nature causes much alarm among the more con-
servative fraternities.

The Dartmouth Literary Magazine, for twenty-
six years the official literary organ of that college,
has been suspended this year on account of lack
of student financial and literary support.

One would believe that there is a good deal of
truth in the charge brought against the Princeton
student body that it is inclined to hero worship.

The presidents of their four classes are football
stars. Pendleton is 1913 president; DeWitt is the
1914 head; Baker, 1915; and Heyning, star of the
Freshman team, is president of his class.

Reed College opens this year with an enroll-
ment of 130. The students celebrated the opening
with a big bonfire on the campus.

Considerable money has been expended at Col-

walks have been graded and walled and the dorm-
itories have undergone extensive changes and
repairs.

Women excelling in athletics at Kansas this

VERMONT SATURDAY

Bowdoin plays the last game of the season Sat-
urday against the University of Vermont in Port-
land. The team will be in the best of condition
and will put up the best game of the year. This
last game in Portland always draws a large crowd
and practically the whole student body will be
present. Douglas, the fighting center, Capt.
"Duff" Wood, Stan Hindi, "Chuck" Crosby, Clif
Page and Stan Dole will play their last game for
Bowdoin Saturday. The support of all the stu-
dents is needed for the game. This is the first
. time Bowdoin and Vermont have ever met on the
gridiron.

BOWDOIN, 0; MAINE, 19— NOV. 9

The two thousand people that saw Bowdoin go
down to defeat before the University of Maine
team at Orono Saturday came away from the
field with a great deal of respect for the losing
team. The Bowdoin team fought always against
odds, and not once during the entire game did
they have an opportunity that they did not accept.
Bowdoin's defense was stubborn to the last de-
gree and her holding Maine on the one foot line
was a typical example of the fighting spirit of
the team.

There is not one man on the team of whom
Bowdoin should not be proud. Weatherill car-
ried the ball for many of Bowdoin's gains and he
tackled a large number of the men that managed
to break through the line. LaCasce's punting was
consistently good; Foster was responsible for
breaking up many of Maine's plays and he car-
ried the ball for many consistent gains. Faulkner
was in the game but a short time and made many
good tackles. Crosby played his usual gritty game
at quarter. The linemen fought gamely against
the telling weight of their opponents. Hinch,
Page and Dole played hard and made their way
through the line many times to break up the in-
terference of the Maine backs. Brown while he
was in the game played exceptionally well at end
and made many tackles to Maine's loss. Most of
the plays were centered at Lewis and Leadbetter
who withheld them to the last degree. Leadbet-
ter made many of the tackles of the game. Wood
was fast and sure in making tackles and in mak-

ing holes in the Maine line. Barry made fine
passes to the backs and fought hard to hold the
opponents from breaking through the line.
Douglas fought until his strength failed him and
he had to leave the game.

The game was clean throughout although
Maine was penalized 65 yards and Bowdoin 5.

In the second half and more noticeably in the
last quarter Bowdoin began to weaken under the
continual hammering on the line and Shepherd
and the other Maine backs broke through time
after time for many short gains. Maine tried
long end runs but they only resulted in a race
across the field and the man being tackled before
he had any chance to gain ground.

Bowdoin was weak in her forward* passes and
only one of the several attempts was successful.
The ends were unable to get through in order to
receive the ball.

THE GAME IN DETAIL

First Quarter
LaCasce kicked off to Shepherd who ran the
ball back 15 yards and was finally tackled by Fos-
ter. Carleton was downed by Pratt in the follow-
ing play for no gain. Carleton again carried the
ball but was tackled by Douglas for no gain. In
the next play a Maine man fumbled but Bigelow
recovered the ball. With the ball on the 33 yard
line Shepherd punted the ball back of the goal
posts for a touch-back. Foster recovered the ball.
This gave Bowdoin the ball on her 20 yard line.
In two plays Weatherill made 5 yards and then
Foster made only one, being tackled by Bigelow.
LaCasce was forced to punt to Cobb on the 35
yard line. Martin made 4 yards through right
tackle but was finally stopped by Wood. He
again carried the ball and was tackled by Lead-
better after a gain of only 2 yards. Cobb was
tackled by Douglas for a gain of one yard. Shep-
herd punted off-side, this gave Bowdoin the ball
on the 37 yard line. Weatherill was tackled by
Donahue for no gain. A forward pass from
Weatherill to Brown was broken up by Carleton.
Foster then advanced the ball 7 yards but failed
to make first down so LaCasce punted to Cobb on
the 20 yard line, who was held from gaining by
Hinch. Martin made 4 yards, being downed by
Lewis. Brown then broke through the line and

138

BOWDOIN ORIENT

prevented Cobb from making any gain. In the
next play Carleton made only 3 yards so Shep-
herd punted to Crosby on the 32 yard line.
Weatherill made 3 yards and was tackled by Don-
ahue. Weatherill again carried the ball and was
tackled by Bigelow. Maine left guard off side,
penalized 5 yards. This gave Bowdoin first down.
Leadbetter carried the ball but failed to make any
gain. Foster went through center for 4 yards
and in the next play he made 3 more yards. Here
Maine was penalized 5 yards for interfering with
the snapping back of the ball : Bowdoin first
down. Foster made 2J4 yards through right
guard and Weatherill's forward pass to Brown
was broken up by Carleton. Again Bowdoin
made an incomplete forward pass. It was now
fourth down and 8 yards to go. LaCasce punted
to Carleton who, when tackled by Leadbetter,
fumbled the ball. Wood recovered the fumble.
The ball was in Bowdoin's possession on the 30
yard line. Foster was tackled by Bigelow for no
gain. The next play was a forward pass caught
by Shepherd. Carleton made 8 yards and Shep-
herd was tackled by Leadbetter. In this play
Douglas was hurt. Shepherd made 7 yards and
was tackled by Douglas and this gave Maine first
down. The first period ended with the ball in
Maine's possession on her 36 yard line.
Second Quarter
Shepherd was tackled by Brown after a gain of
3 yards and Cobb caused Maine to be penalized 5
yards for off-side playing. In the next play Shep-
herd made 6 yards through left tackle and this
was followed by a delayed forward pass which
netted only 2 yards. Shepherd punted to Weath-
erill on the 28 yard line who ran the ball back
■only a short distance, being tackled by Donahue.
Foster was tackled by Bernheisel for no gain,
and Weatherill made 2 yards. Foster then car-
ried the ball for a gain of 2 yards and Douglas
was relieved by Barry. LaCasce punted to Cobb
who ran the ball back 7 yards to the 45 yard line.
Cobb made 4 yards through center and Leadbet-
ter tackled Martin for no gain. Carleton made 3
yards through right tackle, and 10 yards around
the end, being finally tackled by LaCasce. Lead-
better held Martin for a gain of only 1 yard.
Carleton followed this with a gain of 5 yards
through right tackle. Brown broke through the
line and held Carleton for no gain. Carleton car-
ried the ball for a third time and was finally
tackled by Leadbetter after making first down.
Lew Brown tackled Bernheisel for no gain and
Cobb made no gain through right guard. Lead-
better tackled Carleton after he had broken
through the line and gained 6 yards, making first

down. Cobb then attempted a forward pass to
Donahue which was incomplete. This gave Bow-
doin the ball on her 25 yard line. Foster made 3
yards through the line and in the next play he
made a fumble which Bernheisel recovered :
Maine's ball on Bowdoin's 31 yard line. Maine
made 6 yards on a delayed forward pass and
Leadbetter tackled Shepherd for no gain. Mar-
tin followed this with a gain of 2 yards through
right guard. Carleton made no gain in the next
play as he was tackled by Wood. Martin made 6
yards and first down in the next play. The ball
was now on the 6 yard line and Carleton made 3
yards through Wood and 2 yards through Lead-
better. Here the ball was, third down and 18
inches to go. The next play was centered on Lewis
and Leadbetter who held fast. Maine made no
gain. The next play was attempted between
Bowdoin's right end and tackle but Brown held
the man for no gain. At no point throughout the
game was the interest so great as here. To see
the light team of Bowdoin hold a team that
weighed so much more was a great treat to every
person on the field. LaCasce punted to Cobb on
the 37 yard line who made a fair catch. Shep-
herd made a placement kick from here which
made the score 3 to o in Maine's favor. LaCasce
kicked off to Bryant who ran the ball back 10
yards. Bryant made 3 yards through left end, be-
ing tackled by Weatherill. In the next play Carle-
ton made a gain of 15 yards but the Maine team
was penalized for holding. In this play Brown
hurt his shoulder and was forced to leave the
game. He was replaced by Page. Carleton was
tackled by Wood after a gain of 4 yards. The
half ended with the ball in the possession of
Maine on the 15 yard line.

Third Quarter
Shepherd kicked off to Weatherill who ran the
ball back 15 yards, being finally tackled by Carle-
ton. Weatherill made 9 yards and Crosby went
through center for a 1 yard gain. In the next
two plays Weatherill was held for only two yards
gain. Foster went through center for 1 yard
gain but this failed to make first down for Bow-
doin. LaCasce punted to Carleton on the 25 yard
line. In Page's attempt to tackle the runner the
ball was fumbled and recovered by Wood, who
fumbled again, Page recovering the ball. A dis-
cussion arose as to whether the whistle had
blown before the ball was fumbled or not and the
referee had to toss up a coin to decide. Maine
won the decision. Weatherill held Carleton for
no gain and Barry held him in the next play for
only 1 yard. Wood tackled Carleton for no gain
and Shepherd punted to Crosby who ran the ball

BOWDOIN ORIENT

i39

back 5 yards and was tackled by Donahue. Bow-
doin's ball on the 48 yard line. In the next play

the next play. Bryant made 17 yards around left
end and Carleton made 3 yards followed by Shep-
herd, tackled by Leadbetter after a short gain.
Shepherd bored his way through the line for an-
other gain of 4 yards, and Dole replaced Page.
Carleton made 3 yards and in the next play La-
Casce tackled him for a loss of 3 yards. The next
play was a delayed forward pass. Bernheisel
gave the ball to Bryant who made the pass to
Donahue who crossed the line for a touchdown.
Shepherd kicked the goal. LaCasce kicked off to
Bryant who ran the ball back 22 yards to the 38
yard line. LaCasce tackled Carleton after he had
made a gain of 4 yards. Bryant made 6 yards
and the period ended with the ball in Maine's
possession on her own 47 yard line.
Fourth Quarter
Foster tackled Carleton after a gain of 10 yards
and Leadbetter followed this with a pretty tackle
of Martin after a gain of only 4 yards. Martin
in the next play hurdled the line and was penal-
ized 15 yards. Carleton made 12 yards around left
■end, being finally tackled by Foster. Shepherd
punted 55 yards over the goal posts and this gave

on the 28 yard line. Crosby tackled Bryant for

tried a long end run but Weatherill tackled him

The entire college is proud of
The Maine Game the way in which the football

team contested the game with
Maine Saturday, fighting with all the strength
they had against the far greater weight of their
opponents. Their stand on the- one-foot line,
when Maine was held for downs, marks the team
as one which possesses the Bowdoin spirit in full
measure. Although everyone hoped for victory,
the showing of the team against the odds they
had to face was entirely creditable. One thing
which has characterized their playing during the
entire season has been the small number of penal-
lies imposed upon them : their game has been
clean, no matter what kind of a game their oppo-
nents were playing. The game Saturday was
comparatively free from penalties : Maine lost 65
yards and Bowdoin, five. With the Vermont
game next Saturdav, a game which the College
expects the team to win, comes the close of a sea-
son which has not been marked with a series of
victories; but a season that Bowdoin will remem-

It is the hope of the Orient
Political Clubs that the completion of the
presidential campaign will not
cause the immediate disbanding of the political
clubs which have done so much to enliven the
local struggle. At least one of the losing move-
ments is not at all dismayed but ''ever hopeful of
the future ;" and the winning party can well af-
ford to keep up the interest of its followers by a
continuation of its organization. The Orient
suggests permanent organization for each one of
the clubs, with an occasional passage-at-arms to
maintain the attention of the undergraduates
upon national questions and thus meet the criti-
cism that we live too much in a world of our own.

ANNIE TALBOT COLE LECTURES

It has been announced that George Edward
Woodbury, Litt.D., LL.D., will deliver the Annie
Talbot Cole lectures this year. The subject is
"The Way of a Poet" and the lectures will be de-
livered as follows: November 25, "Illusion;"

ber 9, "The Affirmation of Life." Dr. Woodbury
has been Professor of English Literature at the
University of Nebraska, and of Comparative Lit-
erature at Columbia University. He is recog-
nized as our leading literary critic; and is the
author of several books, among which are : Life
of Edgar Allen Poe, Life of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne, Life of Ralph Waldo Emerson, America
in Literature, and Makers of Literature.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

Rev. H. E. Dunnack '97 spoke before the Chris-
tian Association Thursday evening, taking as his
subject, "The Challenge of Tomorrow."

"Some men live in the past, others in the pres-
ent," he said, "but the man who lives in tomorrow
gets the most from both past and present. To-
morrow is the day when forests will be conserved
and swamps and deserts reclaimed for the use of
mankind. Tomorrow will see the completion of
great enterprises. But before one can receive all
the advantages of tomorrow he must first prove
himself efficient and capable of fulfilling all the
demands which the future imposes.

Those who will answer the challenge of tomor-
row must be prepared mentally and physically. A
sound mind and a healthy body are essential to
the proper carrying out of our duties. One must
also have the proper kind of a soul ; a deep relig-
ious belief is a prime essential in the correct an-
swering of the demands of the future. Men must
therefore go out prepared in mind and body and
spirit for the tasks which are to confront them,
and be able to answer courageously the challenge
of tomorrow. ' '

The speaker at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on
Thursday will be Rev. John H. Nolan, rector of
the Episcopal Church in Lewiston. Mr Nolan
was for some time a curate in the Cathedral at
Portland ; he spoke effectively at the Y. M. C. A.
last year.

This week is observed as a Week of Prayer in
all the colleges of the country. At Bowdoin spe-
cial brief meetings will be held at noon, and a
special address by Dean Hodges on Sunday even-
ing will conclude the series. The noon meetings

will begin at one o'clock and close in time for the
first afternoon recitation; they will be held in the
Y. M. C. A. room. Crowell, president of the As-
sociation, spoke at the first meeting yesterday,
and Douglas addressed the meeting this noon.
Tomorrow, President Thomas of Middlebury is
expected to be the speaker. President Thomas,
who is here attending the meeting of the Presi-
dents of all the New England colleges, is a
preacher of note and has been a college preacher
in many institutions. President Hyde will speak
Thursday noon and the speaker on Friday will be
David R. Porter '06, who is now in charge of the
Y. M. C. A. work in all the secondary schools of
the country. Porter was the first Maine Rhodes
scholar, scored the memorable touchdown against
Harvard in 1902, and is on the Advisory Commit-
tee of the Y. M. C. A. This will probably be the
only time that he can speak at Bowdoin this year.

The membership of the Association, last week,
was 248, which is the largest in the history of the
Bowdoin Y. M. C. A.

The deputation work, which was successfully
started last year, will be continued this year; one
hundred letters have been sent to nearby towns
explaining the work.

The social service committee plans to continue
the Thanksgiving collection for the poor of
Brunswick ; last year money enough was contrib-
uted to buy Thanksgiving dinners for nearly a
dozen needy families. The collections of old
clothes and magazines, for the Sailors' Mission
and the prison will be made this fall.

COLLEGE PREACHER SUNDAY
Rev. George Hodges, Dean of the Berkeley
Theological School, will be the college preacher
next Sunday. Dean Hodges is one of the promi-
nent Episcopal ministers of the East and was at
some of the larger churches before he gave up
the routine work and went to the Berkeley
School. During the past few years he has writ-
ten a great deal on religious subjects and con-
cerning religion.

He was born at Rome, New York, in 1856 and
received his college education at Hamilton, ob-
taining his A.B. degree in 'JJ and his M.S. five
years later. His theological education was re-
ceived at the Western Pennsylvania Seminary.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

Pres. Hyde spoke of the three kinds of religion :
positive, comparative and superlative. These he
illustrated by the story of Esau, who sold his
birth-right fcr a mess of pottage; tha parable of
the Pharisee; and the parable of the merchant

BOWDOIN ORIENT

man seeking goodly pearls. Esau desired imme-
diate good, but obtained it at the price of a great
future good, a price he had no right to pay. We
find this same condition in every day life. Men
desire a present good and obtain it only by the
sacrifice of great future benefits to themselves,
their families and those dependent upon them,
and to society in general. No man desires evil,
nor will he seek it if he obtains it, it is because in
obtaining some small present good he was blind
to the evil that was sure to follow. The chances
are ten thousand to one that the man seeking
present natural good is doing wrong.

But worse than this is the man who thinks him-
self better than his neighbor because he does not
indulge in certain evil practices to which his
neighbor may be addicted. This is the worst at-
titude a man can possibly have. This man is
worse than the neighbor with whom he compares
himself.

The superlative form of religion is illustrated
by the merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who
when he found one of surpassing value, sold all
his other possessions that he might obtain it. This
exemplifies the quest for the best and should be
every man's attitude in life. Each of us should
be ready to sacrifice all present goods to obtain
the best. Of course we can never hope to obtain
the best on this earth, but all of us may have an
opportunity to obtain a future good immeasurably
greater than the present benefits we have to give
up, and at such a crisis we should not hesitate to
choose the future good. We must remember that
whatever choice we make, all other alternative
benefits are forever lost to us.

THURSDAY CONCERT

The Saturday Club will give a concert Thurs-
day evening, Nov. 14 in Memorial Hall, to which
students will be admitted free. The entertain-
ment will be given by Parker's Boston Imperials

flute, and violin trio. A most enjoyable musical
evening is anticipated.

Meetings anO Eallies

On Tuesday evening an election rally was held
at which everybody present had a thoroughly
good time even though some of them watched the
defeat of their chosen political parties posted be-
fore them . The meeting opened about eight
o'clock with a selection by the band ; apples and
cider were then brought forth, pipes were lighted
and general preparations made to enjoy the even-
ing. Douglas, with the characteristic piece of
plaster on his nose, officiated, and was ably assist-
ed by "Chuck" Crosby in posting the returns
which were received by telephone at the Dean's
office. Sum Mountfort ably impersonated Taft,
Doc Merrill in cap and gown gave a noble imper-
sonation of the learned Wilson, while Rawson in •
a rough rider's costume appeared with a "This-is-
bully-boys," led three cheers for himself, and sat
down to watch the returns. During the evening
Loring Pratt and Johnny Dunphy gave some
readings which were greatly appreciated and
much applauded. But by far the most striking
remarks were made by Douglas, whose appeal to
the spirit of the undergraduates to send two hun-
dred men to Orono brought results. Later in the
evening the settees were moved back, and while
some of the fellows danced others gathered
around the piano and made the night air melo-
dious.

Colonel Frank Plummer '87 was the principal
speaker at the rally before the Maine game Fri-
day night. Colonel Plummer expressed the
spirit of every Bowdoin man, whether graduate
or student, when he said that supporters of Old
Bowdoin everywhere would feel satisfaction in
the knowledge that the team had played a good
clean game. Colonel Plummer told of several
instances when Bowdoin pluck had made good,
and he said that it was the same kind of pluck
that was going to be in evidence on the field at
Orono.

Other speakers of the evening were Professors
Davis and Bell and Cedric Crowell, presiding.
Ralph Buell led the cheering.

The Y .M .C. A. Cabinet held its regular meet-
ing at the D. K. E. House last Thursday evening.
A number of important questions of policy were
discussed, but no matters were definitely decided
upon.

On last Wednesday evening the Dramatic Club
met, with Manager John E. Dunphy '13 presiding.
The following officers were elected for the com-
ing season: Cedric R. Crowell '13, president; Wil-
liam J. Nixon '13, manager; Winthrop S. Greene
'13, senior member of the executive council.

fDn t&e Campus

Seneranee ex-'i4 was on the campus over Sun-
day.

Professor Mitchell was recently elected presi-
dent of the Brunswick Dramatic Club. Professor
F. W. Brown was elected as a member of the ex-
ecutive committee.

Dean Sills will represent the College next Sat-
urday at a meeting of the Committee of Maine
Colleges with the State Superintendent of
Schools.

The Ail-Americans, composed of former Bow-
doin stars, coaches, ineligibles, and second team
men defeated the varsity in an afternoon game
last Wednesday, 10 to 6. Frank Smith scored
the winning play with a drop kick from the 28
yard line during the last few minutes of play.
Quite a crowd watched the performance. Nick-
erson, the veteran trainer, was referee and the
rounds lasted 10 minutes.

Earl L. Wing '10 was on the campus Wednes-
day and Thursday.

Freshman warnings were issued Tuesday. Out
of the 117 men in the entering class, 32 received
major and 37 minor warnings. Last year the
Freshman class numbered 81, and 15 major and
43 minor warnings were issued.

As a result of the examinations for Library as-
sistant, E. B. Poore '16 and A. W. Canney '16
have been chosen from the Freshman class.

C&e JLi&ratp Caole

Miss Lucy F. Young of Winchester, Mass., a
daughter of Rev. Dr. Joshua Young of the Class
of 1845, has recently presented the Library with a
rare lithograph, published by Joseph Griffin and
representing the college buildings and the campus
as it appeared in 1845. This lithograph was en-
graved from a daguerreotype taken by Hendee.
The college librarian is very desirous of learning

whether this daguerreotype is still in existence.
It would throw light upon the period at which the
long walk extending south from Massachusetts
Hall was first laid out and the trees were planted
at its sides.

Strongly reenforced is the history department
with the addition of "Readings in American Con-
stitutional History, 1776-1876," edited by Prof.
Allen Johnson. Mr. Johnson was Thomas Brack-
ett Reed Professor in History and Political
Science at Bowdoin until his departure in 1910.
He is now Professor of American History in
Yale University. Then, there is the "History of
the United States, Vol. Ill," treating of the
American Revolution, 1761-1789, by Edward
Channing.

For all ages and all temperaments is the "Home
Book of Verse: American and English (1580-
1911)," compiled by Burton E. Stevenson. An-
other book, widely recommended by eminent au-
thorities, is "Moral Leadership and the Ministry"
by Edward E. Keedy. This work is that combi-
nation of passion and argument which is neces-
sary for successful ministry.

Writings regarding college work and college
life are by no means scarce. In the Twentieth
Century Magazine for October, there is an arti-
cle by Richard Rees Price, Director of the Ex-
tension Division of the University of Kansas,
showing how that university is following the pol-
icy of doing research work and public service, as
well as that of instructing the youths in its class
rooms.

Baseball receives interesting treatment in the
Review of the World section of Current Litera-
ture, under the titles "Baseball Eclipses Politics,"
"Physical Problems in Baseball" and "Curious
Antics of a Baseball." Scribner's for November
contains an article by Henry Cabot Lodge en-
titled "Some Early Memories." The author re-
calls his school and college days, including the
Civil War and the impression it made upon him
as a boy. During his course at Harvard the insti-
tution underwent the change from the old Puritan
type to the modern type of college. The senator
deplores the elective system for studies. In the
same magazine, good reading is also found in
Paul Van Dyke's "College Life — A Word to
Fathers Who Have Not Been to College but
Whose Sons Want to Go."

ElesoIutton$

Hall of Alpha Delta Phi, November 1, 1912.

It is with deepest regret that the Bowdoin
Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi records the death on
September nth of one of its founders, Henry
Hill Boody of the Class of 1842. At the time of
his death he was the oldest alumnus of the col-
lege. He has always shown a deep interest and
loyalty both to the college and the fraternity. In
the many walks of life he followed he achieved an
enviable record.

The Chapter expresses its deep sympathy to

alumni Department

'57. — Another alumnus who, in quite a different
line helped humanity, and who has now gone to
his rest is Louis Orsmand Brastow, late of New
Haven, Ct. Mr. Brastow died August 12th at the
age of seventy-eight years.

Louis Orsmand Brastow was born in Brewer
on March 23, 1834. After receiving a common
school education in his home town, he taught
school there for some time. After that he en-
tered Bowdoin, graduating from here in 1857.
He then entered the Bangor Theological Semi-
nary from which he graduated in i860.

In the year of his graduation he was ordained
as pastor of a Congregational Church in St.
Johnsbury. In 1870 he acted as a member of the
Vermont Constitutional Convention, and he held
that position until 1872. In 1861 he was made
chaplain of the Twelfth Regiment of Vermont
Volunteers, serving them during the war.

In 1872 he was chosen pastor of the First
Church in Burlington, Vt, acting in that capacity
for eleven years.

He left this work to take a position as Profes-
sor of practical Theology in the Yale Divinity
School, where he served as a professor until 1907,
when he was given the title of professor emeritus.
At one time he was also dean of the divinity
school.

Mr. Brastow was a regular contributor to the
religious press and also published two or three
books. Chief of these were "The Representative
Modern Preachers," published in 1904, and "The
Modern Pulpit," published two years later. His
ability was recognized by this college in 1880
when he received the degree of D.D. and by Yale
five years later when he was accorded the distinc-
tion of an honorary A.M.

Mr. Brastow married, early in his career, Miss
Martha B. Ladd, and they were blessed with two
children.

The steadfastness of purpose which led this
alumnus to follow his favorite field of labor,
through incalculable sacrifice, and even on to the
battlefield to help those who were in spiritual an-
guish, shows that he was a true son of Bowdoin
and he retained in his after life, the most valuable
thing we can get from our college days : — a desire
to help others and steadfastness of purpose.

BOWDOIN ORILNT

VOL. XLII

BRUNSWICK, MAINE, NOVEMBER 19, 1912

NO. 18

BOWDOIN, 7; VERMONT, 0— NOV. 16

That Bowdoin CAN play football and win, was
unquestionably demonstrated at the Pine Tree
grounds Saturday afternoon. On a wet, sticky
field, under the odds of playing a heavier team,
Bowdoin came to her own at last and won one of
the best games played in the State this year.

The team as a whole made the best showing
that it has this season in team work, hard offense,
and clean, smashing tackling. Every man ap-
peared to be in as perfect condition and as fresh
as he was in mid-season. They were certainly
there with the punch at every minute of the play.

The Bowdoin line fought the hardest kind of a
game. One or more linemen broke through Ver-
mont's primary defense on every play. Pratt,
Douglas, Wood and Leadbetter had it on their
opponents from the first whistle. Time and again
they broke through and tackled the Vermont
backs for losses of 5 to 10 yards, and it was due
to their smashing game that Bowdoin was able to
make such long and frequent gains through line
plunging. It is by no means meant that these
were the only fighters in the line. Every Bow-
doin player was a fighter, and no distinction can
be made in favor of any one man. Crosby played
a cool, steady game at quarter. He used his head
well, and ran his team smoothly and with good
generalship. Faulkner was the star of the game,
and his wonderful dodging was the sensation of
the afternoon. Twice he ran through the whole
Vermont team for gains of 20 and 30 yards. La-
Casce put up the steady, cool game that he always
plays. He gained consistently when given the
ball, and played a hard, smashing defensive
game. Weatherill put up as fine a game at sec-
ondary defense as has been seen this season. He
stopped the Vermonters several times in the open
field when it seemed that they were clear, and
when "Bob" tackled a man, the ball stopped mov-
ing.

Bowdoin played straight old-fashioned football,
relying on line plunging and short end runs.
Several forward passes were tried but all failed
but one. Vermont used open formations and
complicated plays during the first of the game,
but were forced to fall back on regular football.
For Vermont Sefton and Whalen starred. The

game was cleanly played and good feeling pre-
vailed on the field.

WEATHERILL ELECTED FOOTBALL CAPTAIN
After the picture at Webber's yesterday after-
noon, Robert Thomas Weatherill, '14, was
elected football captain for next year. For three
years "Bob" has been a star in the backfield
and his long end runs and hard, smashing tackles
have been features of every game. Many times
he has snatched the team from defeat. Here's
hoping that next year he will lead Bowdoin to
victory.

AFTER THE GAME

The Bowdoin College student body turned
themselves into Portland boys last Saturday.
The marching, cheering and spirit displayed was
excellent. After the game the squad had a very
successful banquet at the Falmouth Hotel.

At the post-prandial exercises Capt. "Duff"
Wood presided. He called on the senior mem-
bers of the squad for short speeches. Those re-
sponding were Pike '13, Douglas '13, Page '13,
Hinch '13, J. Brown '13, Crosby '13, Daniels '13,
Dole '13. Coach Bergin, "Buster" Crosby,
"Nick" and "Sum" Mountfort also responded to
toasts. The same note ran through all the re-
marks ; that, although the season had been one of
disappointment as far as scores were concerned,
all were mighty glad to have been out helping to
make a team for Bowdoin, were mighty sorry to
leave College and counted the friendship formed
on the squad the best single thing in their college
career. Other members of the squad and man-
agers at the banquet were L. Smith '13, Pratt '14,
LaCasce '14, Weatherill '14, Lew Brown '14,
Leigh '14, Moulton '15, Lewis '15, Austin '15,
McDonald '15, Evans '15, Livingstone '15, Ver-
rill '15, Leadbetter '16, Foster '16, Barry '16, H.
Wood '16 and Dyer '16.

After the banquet the team occupied boxes at
the Jefferson Theatre where the performance of
"Little Boy Blue" was turned into a Bowdoin

night. The intermissions were filled with cheers
and songs and long distance conversation.

Nothing marred the whole excursion, and
everyone had the best kind of time and — we won.

INTER-CLASS STRUGGLE SATURDAY

The Freshman and Sophomore football squads
are putting on the finishing touches for their an-
nual game to be played Saturday. Both squads
have plenty of good material, and a close game is
expected. Captain Stuart is coaching the Fresh-
man backs, and Leadbetter, the varsity tackle, is
■drilling the Freshman line, while Captain Man-
nix, Philip Fox '14, and "King" Pratt, the varsity
guard, are grooming the Sophomores for the con-
test.

The tentative line-up of the Freshman eleven,
as announced by Captain Stuart, is as follows :
Hagermann, le ; Woodman, It; Haywood, Ig;
Lull, c ; Moulton, Chase, rg ; Rawson, rt ; Drum-
mond. re : Fuller, qb ; Bamford, lhb ; Stuart
(Capt.), Glidden, rhb ; Parsons, Hazeltine, fb.
Although the Sophomore line-up has not yet
teen definitely determined, it is quite certain that
Captain Mannix will run the team at quarter-
back, and that Roberts, Somers, P. Smith, and
Coffin will fill the other backfield positions. The
line will be selected from the following men :
Austin, Coxe, Dunton, Floyd, Keegan, MacCor-
mick, Melcher, Moulton, Rogers, Thompson and
West.

FOOTBALL LETTERS AWARDED
At a meeting of the Athletic Council held yes-
terday noon the following men were awarded
the football "B": Wood, Douglas, Dole, Hinch,
Page, Crosby, Pratt, LaCasce, Weatherill, L.
Brown, Lewis, Fauikner, Foster, Leadbetter,
Barry — 15 in all.

SONG CONTEST

Announcement was made in the Commence-
ment number of the Orient of a prize of fifty
dollars, offered through the Music Committee of
the Faculty, for the best Bowdoin song. The
time limit of this contest, which is open to both
graduates and undergraduates, will be January
15, 1913. Competitors are requested to send their
songs on or before that date to Mr. Edward H.
Wass, chairman of the Music Committee. Each
song should be signed with an assumed name,
and accompanied by the author's name in a sealed
envelope. The prize will not be awarded, if, in
the judgment of the Committee, no worthy song
is presented.

If, as is confidently hoped and expected, this
prize is awarded, another prize of the same
amount will be offered for the best musical set-
ting for the prize song, with April 1, 1913, as the
time limit.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

Rev. John H. Nolan of Lewiston spoke before
the Christian Association Thursday evening, tak-
ing as his subject, "The Church of the Living
God."

"Years ago the significance of this name," he
said, "was well known and understood : such men
as Carlyle and Gladstone knew and often used
this term. Nowadays there appears to be a singu-
lar lack of knowledge of this most important ex-
pression. Laymen must join with the clergy in
making the significance of the Church felt and
appreciated, for the clergymen cannot do all the
work alone. Without educated laymen the
Church must limp along the way. It is not nar-
row as some would have us believe ; true it is not
perfect for the very reason that it is made up of
men.

"To make men Christians is in one sense an
economic principle. By making good men there
will be less crime and therefore less cost for
prisons and trials. The way in which to support
the Church and make men come to church meet-
ings is to interest them in Christ. It is because
of the lack of interest in Him and His ideal that
the term 'Church of the Living God' has lost so
much of its significance among us today."

Robert H. Gardiner of Gardiner, a graduate of
Harvard Law School, founder of the Brother-
hood of St. Andrew, and one of the foremost
Episcopal laymen in the state, will speak to the
Christian Association next Thursday.

The Freshman Religious Committee has been
announced as follows: Foster, chairman; Ful-
ler and Haseltine, sub-chairmen; Anthony, Bam-
ford, Bird, Canney, Churchill, Elliot, Edwards,
Greeley, Hawes, Hescock, Little, H. T. Parsons
and Rawson. During the week this committee
will collect old clothes which are to be sent to
Dr. Grenfell's mission in Labrador and to the
Bates Settlement House in New York City.
Magazines for the Sailor's Mission in Charles-
town and text books for the loan library of the
association are also solicited. Any member of
the committee will gladly call for articles if noti-
fied.

Colby statistics, just compiled, show that there
'are now 396 students in college.

Our Football Heri-
tage

The excitement of the last
scrimmage has subsided, the
echo of the last strains of
Bowdoin Beata has died away in the distance;
soon the football uniforms will be packed away
and the College will settle down to the quiet
work of the winter season.

But before we turn our minds from the season
just passed, let us consider what of permanent
value we have gained from it. It seems to us
that if there is anything of lasting worth in the
football days which we should carry with us into
the less spectacular part of the year's work it is
that fine spirit of comradeship which is developed
on the long afternoons of practice, side by side
on Whittier Field and in the stands cheering as
one man, not for self or for fraternity but for
Bowdoin.

This same spirit should govern the members of
the two upper classes as they proceed this week
and next to the choice of their class officers. Let
us not sink back into any individual selfishness

or fraternity prejudice, but let the spirit of fair-
ness and honor which prevailed on the football
field extend into these other undergraduate func-
tions. Let's prove to ourselves that the thing for
which we have been yelling ourselves hoarse and
taking willing bruises and the daily grind of
practice is not a vain enthusiasm at a gladiatorial
spectacle but that it is something higher, a spirit,
which expresses itself in honor, fair play and
friendship and will condemn anything that does
not measure up to that standard.

Those who withstand any tendency to combi-
nation in class elections, those who vote only for
the men whom they consider deserve the honors,
regardless of other considerations, are fighting
for the honor of Bowdoin as loyally as any ath-
letic team and those who seek by any method to
circumvent this spirit of fairness are quitting,
quitting like the men on the football field who
stop fighting before the game is over, quitting
because they refuse to bear their little part in the
building up of an undergraduate spirit in Bow-
doin which will work out the problem of frater-
nity and college by the actual comradeship of its
members.

A branch of college activity
Quill Support which calls for the support of
the alumni as much or more
than any other undergraduate undertaking is the
Quill. The literary magazine of such merit that
it was ranked second among like college publica-
tions last year surely deserves to have more than
the hundred alumni subscribers at present on its
list. There is an old debt, contracted through no
fault of the men now in College, of over two hun-
dred dollars. This debt can be paid and the paper
put on a firm basis if the graduate subscribers to
the Orient will subscribe to the Quill as well.

The Orient desires to ex-
An Honorable Record press to every member of the

football team the apprecia-
tion of the College for the way in which the team
has fought through its schedule against odds.
That schedule will not go down in the records as
a successful one, but from the point of view of
pure sportsmanship the season has been a com-
plete success. The 1912 team has made a name
for itself by its plucky game ; and the Orient
records its admiration for that pluck, fairness,
and fighting Bowdoin spirit.

Michigan's new general catalogue shows that
the University in its seventy-five years has given
instruction to 43.666 students.

SATURDAY CLUB CONCERT

A most delightful concert was given Thursday
evening by the Parker Imperial concert company
of Boston in Memorial Hall. This is the first of
this season's affairs under the auspices of the
Saturday Club and was attended by a large aud-
ience composed of students and town people.

The company, which consisted of eight people,
was excellent and their program was extremely
well chosen. Miss Hiltz, the prima donna, was
called back again and again and her encores were
applauded fully as much as her first numbers.

The program included a great deal of well
known music while the encores were of a lighter
order. The personnel of the company : Evange-
line Hiltz, prima donna soprano ; Raymond Sim-
onds, tenor ; Lyman Hemenway, tenor ; John
Smallman, baritone ; Alex Logan, bass ; Phyllis
Hammond, harpist; Alberta Florence, violinist;
Philip Morse, flutist.

DEBATING NEWS

Tonight in Hubbard Hall there will be a meet-
ing of the Debating Council at which the follow-
ing question will be discussed: "Resolved, That
the extent to which any student may participate
in student activities should be subject to regula-
tions made by the Student Council." All stu-
dents are invited to be present, and as the ques-
tion is one that should be of live interest to every
man in college, there should be a good attendance.

At their meeting on Thursday afternoon the
Council voted to hold a debate between the Fresh-
men and Sophomores directly after the Christ-
mas vacation. All Freshmen and Sophomores
are eligible to compete in the trials which will oc-
cur shortly after Thanksgiving, and it is expected
that a large number of men will try out for the
teams. The subject of the debate and the exact

N. E. COLLEGE ASSN. MEETING

The fifty-fifth annual meeting of the Associa-
tion of Colleges of New England convened in
Hubbard Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday, No-
vember 12 and 13. Six college presidents, four
deans and fifteen professors, representing fifteen
of the leading colleges of New England, were in
attendance. Sessions were held Tuesday after-
noon and evening and Wednesday morning, at
which sixteen topics of vital concern to colleges
were discussed. Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock
the Bowdoin faculty entertained the visiting del-
egates with an informal reception. Wednesday
morning the delegates attended Chapel, where
President Lowell of Harvard briefly addressed
the student body, touching upon the function of
the college and the great opportunities for ad-
vancing education that it holds out to ambitious
young men. The convention closed Wednesday
forenoon, and the visiting educators departed
highly pleased with the conference and the Col-
lege.

SATURDAY CLUB LECTURE

Last night in Memorial Hall Nathaniel Brig-
ham gave his stereopticon lecture on "'The Grand
Canon of Arizona." The photographs which Mr.
Brigham exhibited were all taken by himself,
and he has lived for many years in the west. The
lecture was under the auspices of the Saturday
Club, but a large number of students were pres-
ent. Mr. Brigham was a classmate of President
Hyde at Harvard.

Under the auspices of the Saturday Club, Dr.
Wiley .of ''pure food" fame will speak in Bruns-
wick November 29, and the Ben Greet players
will be here December 10.

SECOND COLLEGE PREACHER

Dean Hodges of the Berkeley Divinity School
preached at the Chapel service last Sunday. His
subject was the hypocrisy of the right hand and
he dealt with the common fault among college
men of pretending to be worse than one really is.
He pleaded eloquently for the life of aggressive
goodness of the deliberate stand for the right
and by that stand the resulting moral activity re-
sulting inevitably in moral and spiritual strength.

spoil the dignity of the Sunday Chapel service by
"wooding" the team. The Freshmen were the
only ones to do it. Moral : Get wise, Freshies,
and wait for the upper-classmen to act first in
this matter of student customs.

The Senior class will elect its class day and
regular class officers at a meeting Thursday eve-
ning in the History Lecture Room.

Next Friday afternoon Sousa and his Band
will be at the Cumberland Theatre. It is expect-
ed that the College will be out in full force to
hear the great ''march king" and his organization
render "Stars and Stripes Forever" and others.

The first Saturday Club entertainment in Me-
morial Hall, Parker's Imperials, drew a large
crowd from the student .body.

Work on this year's catalogue is nearing com-
pletion.

Quite a stir was caused in College and Delta
Upsilon circles by the announcement of the mar-
riage of Vurnyer Adrian Craig '13 and Miss
Verna Harriet Larrabee of South Portland at
Starks, Nov. 6. by Rev. George Ingram. Craig
will continue his college course this year.

Professor Alvord has a printed letter in the
last issue of the Brunswick Record, in regard to
the Progressive Party and the Press.

The regulations and subjects for the American
History Prize and Bennett Prize are posted on the
bulletin board. Names of contestants should be

Meetings anD Rallies

At a meeting of the Sophomore class held
Wednesday afternoon the following officers were
elected: James A. Lewis, President; Ellsworth
A. Stone, Vice-President; Daniel W. Rodick,
Secretary; George A. Hall, Treasurer.

Next Thursday evening at 8 p. m. in Memorial
Hall the Junior class will hold its election of of-
ficers. The class and Ivy officers will be chosen
and members elected to the Ivy and Assembly
committees.

The Student Council held its usual meeting
Monday night but did nothing of special im-
portance.

The last football rally of the season was held
Friday evening in Memorial Hall. Although the
number of students present was small, there was
plenty of spirit. The speakers were exceptional-
ly good. The first speaker, Mr. McConaughy,
outlined the proposed plans for having "Bowdoin
Nights" in the larger cities of the State this year.
The next speaker, Dean Sills, gave a short talk
on the student support of the teams and college
spirit in his student days. "Chuck" Crosby spoke

briefly of the team and the plans for the game.
The final speaker was Mr. David Porter '06, the
first Rhodes scholar from Bowdoin. He spoke of
the College and its athletics, bringing in incidents
of his life at Oxford, and said that the test of
Bowdoin spirit was in the support of a losing
team. The whole program was interspersed with
cheers and music by the band, making this last
rally one of the best and most interesting of the
year.

C&e llitiracp Cable

According to the World's Work for November,
there were 4,856 students in the colleges of our
country from foreign lands during 1911-12. Of
these, Canada sent 898; West Indies, 698; China,
549; Japan, 415; Mexico, 294; Germany, 143;
Philippine Islands, 123; Korea, 21. The maga-
zine calls attention to the fact that our civiliza-
tion will in this way be stamped upon a wide area
of the world.

That the fraternity question is receiving atten-
tion among women students as well as among the
men is evinced by the appearance in the Novem-
ber Century of "The Fraternity Idea Among Col-
lege Women" by Miss Edith Rickert. The arti-
cle is the result of a "comprehensive and impar-
tial investigation." It will be followed in the
next number by "What Can We Do About It?"

Interesting for educators should be the article
by William Mc. Andrews in the November
World's Work entitled "One Remedy for Educa-
tion." The author deplores the conservatism of
our boards of education and the excess of the
curriculum, or conventional, method of teaching
in our schools. One remedy, he suggests, is mag-
azine study for the scholars in place of much that
is useless.

Of more universal interest is the article in the
Atlantic Monthly for November entitled "My
Boyhood" by John Muir, the renowned geologist,
explorer and naturalist. A vivid picture of life
in New York City is found in "Your United
States" by Arnold Bennett, in the November
number of Harper's Monthly.

Professor Nixon contributes an exegetical note
on Juvenal to the Classical Review for Novem-
ber.

A gift of 10 volumes and 40 pamphlets has
been received from H. W. Bryant, Esq., of Port-
land.

A notable contribution to the department of
drama is in the form of seven volumes. There
are the dramatic adaptations of Crawford and
The Vicar of Wakefield by Marguerite Mering-
ton. Besides these works there are the original

That college presidents can relish a little non-
sense now and then is testified by Eric's Book of
Beasts by President David Starr Jordan of Stan-
ford University. The book contains about a hun-
dred jingles written for the amusement of his son
Eric ; it tells of beasts both common and uncom-
mon, and has fanciful pictures of them by a Jap-
anese artist. Of the hospitable reptile, we learn
This reptile is a hardened sinner;
But when a friend drops in for dinner,
He greets him with an open smile,
And makes him merry quite a while.
O let us, like this reptile, be
Renowned for hospitality !

A new University of Vermont publication bear-
ing the name of Ye Crabbe made its initial ap-
pearance this year. The paper, which is of a

humorous vein, is an entirely new departure in
the varsity literary circle.

The General Education Board, founded by
John D. Rockefeller, has given to the University
of Maine the sum of $8,000, with which to pro-
vide instruction in new farming methods for the
people of Washington, Kennebec, Oxford and
Cumberland Counties. This is the first year that
this board has appropriated money for agricul-
tural demonstration work in the Northern States.
According to figures prepared by Professor
Rudolph Tombo of Columbia the United States
is rapidly becoming the educational center of the
world. Dr. Tombo selected twenty-one of the
leading universities of Germany and a like num-
ber from America to make his comparison. In
total registration he shows that the American
universities have an enrolment of 75,000, as
against 55,000 in the German institutions. The
foreign students in Germany number 4500 and in
the United States, 1500. The largest foreign del-
egation in America is found at Columbia, with
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Cornell following in
the order named.

Wesleyan University has recently received a
gift of two new buildings, a fund of $60,000 for
the erection of a new astronomical observatory
and $75,000 for an addition to Fayerweather
Gymnasium.

A survey of the moral, economic and social
conditions of Waterville is to be taken by the
Colby Y. M. C. A. and the classes in sociology
and economics.

A radical change in undergraduate study at
Columbia is proposed in the annual report of
Dean Keppel. If the dean's plan is put into ef-
fect, the student, after completing two years of
regular college work will notify the registrar of
the course which he intends to pursue during the
junior and senior years, and then will take up
that course independently. His study may be in
the classroom with other students or he may fol-
low .out the work privately, coming up twice a
year before a conference of his professors and
there discuss the results of the work he has fol-
lowed.

The high cost of living has made its first in-
road on college men at Cornell. The price of
board has risen two dollars a week in a very short
time.

The dramatic club at Boston College is re-
hearsing Macbeth and will stage the production
in early December. There is a growing tendency
for the college clubs to take a well known play
rather than a farce.

A new departure is being taken at Dartmouth
with the building of the two new dormitories, one
for the students and the other as a faculty apart-

ment house. The faculty apartment house plan
is one of the most radical of the eastern colleges'
new systems.

The new examination plan at Harvard has
done what it was intended to do, says the Har-
vard Faculty. It has allowed more men to enter
from the public schools. This fall there were
only four more private school men than public,
something that has not happened for a long time.

'59. — A beautiful sonnet entitled ''Autumnal
Leaves" from the pen of Rev. Edward N. Pom-
eroy, appears in The Independent of November
7th.

'76. — It is with sadness that the Orient records
the death, during the summer, of one of our most
loyal alumni, a man who has done much for his
class since he has been out of college, Frank Ver-
non Wright. Mr. Wright died very suddenly
from a stroke of apoplexy August 3rd at Salem,
Mass.

Frank Vernon Wright was born in Boston, Oct.
13, 1855. He fitted for college at the Boston
Latin School, entering Bowdoin in 1872. The
year after his graduation he spent in taking grad-
uate work at this college and he then began the
study of law which was to be his life work. He
began this study with Hon. George F. Choate,
himself a Bowdoin graduate of 1843, and at that
time the Judge of the Probate Court at Salem,
Mass. After completing his preparation Mr.
Wright opened a law office at Salem where he
was located during his entire life. In 1886 he
married Miss Cornelia Letitia Pennel of this
town.

In addition to his law business which he con-
ducted since 1879, Mr. Wright was also interested
in the activities of the legal profession of that
city and somewhat in the political life. He once
served as a clerk for the committee on accounts
of the city council. He was also for several
years the private law clerk of the late William
C. Endicott who was at that time the Judge of
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. For the
past ten years he has been the clerk of the First
District Court of Essex County. He had also
been just re-elected to this office before his death.
He was also for thirty years the librarian of the
Essex County Law Library. Mr. Wright was
also a member of many orders and clubs in Salem.

But perhaps the thing which most interests us
as Bowdoin students and alumni is that Mr.
Wright was always most active in the further-
ance of the plans of his class as a group of grad-
uates. In 1893, when a class history was issued

on the 21st anniversary of the graduation of this
class, Mr. Wright was one of the most active
members of the committee which had this in
charge. Anyone who has looked into this book
which gives us a picture of the Bowdoin which
existed about thirty-five years ago, cannot fail to
appreciate the work which Mr. Wright put into
the volume.

Thus has passed another of our well known
graduates. He was a man who not only has be-
come prominent in the outside world, and thus
spread the fame of his college there, but he has
also spanned the gap which seems to exist be-
tween the graduate and the student by his inter-
est in the college after graduation. Thus, al-
though many of us did not have the pleasure of
knowing him personally, yet when we pick up the
"History of the Class of 1876," we feel that here
is a man who was indeed "loyal forever, until
death did sever."

'02. — Dr. Frederick A. Stanwood is giving in-
struction in bacteriology to the third and fourth
year men in the Harvard Medical School.

'09. — Cards have been received announcing the
marriage of Arthur L. Smith of New Vineyard,
and Miss Drusilla Townsend of Sangerville. Mr.
Smith since graduation has been interested in a
manufacturing proposition at New Vineyard.
The bride is a graduate of Bates.

'09. — A daughter, Nathalie Clifford, was born
to Mr. and Mrs. Harold M. Smith at Dover, N.
H., October 20th. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss
Agnes Maxwell Greene of Woodfords, Maine.
Mr. Smith entered Harvard Law School the fall
after his graduation and graduated from there
last June. He passed the New Hampshire Bar
examination in the same month and is at present
located at Rochester, N. H., in the office of Leslie
P. Snow, Esq.

'10. — Elmer Hamilton Hobbs, the former Bow-
doin pitcher whose good work on the mound will
be recalled by the undergraduates and younger
alumni, was married in Waterboro, Me., Oct.
30th, to Natalie Nora Knight. The bride is a
graduate of the Waterboro High School in 1906
and from Gorham Normal School in 1910. Since
her graduation she has been teaching in the Saco
Grammar School. Mr. Hobbs is now associated
with J. H. Gallagher in the marble and granite
business at Waterboro. Since leaving college he
has pitched for the Springvale team, and was
captain of that aggregation during the last sea-
son. The wedding was attended by George Ma-
comber and Merton G. L. Bailey, both well
known members of this class.

'11. — Mr. John L. Roberts is now teaching at
North Yarmouth Academy.

SUMMARY OF THE SEASON

The victory over Vermont in Portland a week
ago Saturday marked the close of the 1912 foot-
ball season of the Bowdoin football team, a sea-
son full of shattered hopes, and disappointments,
but one in which the student body stood behind a
fighting team from start to finish. There are no
excuses to offer, no complaints to be made. The
College is not downhearted over its showing. As
long as ''the White" is represented by men of
such calibre as those appearing in the picture
above, as long as the team fights squarely and
hard as did our team this year, we will consider
that there is credit to the institution in being sup-
ported by a losing team. Here's hoping the Ver-
mont game, the last one of this season, will be
the first one of a long string of victories to fol-
low.

Capt. "Duff" Wood at left tackle played a re-
markable game this year on the defense, and, un-
like most captains, improved steadily as the sea-
son went on. He deserves the position on the all-
Maine team which he has won for the last two
years.

Leo Pratt, at left guard, played the best game
of his life two weeks ago against Vermont, and
that is playing some. "King" does not appear
often in the list of stars in the newspaper ac-
counts, but he is steady as a clock and many of
Bowdoin's best gains were due as much to the
holes he opened as to the men carrying the ball.
On defense he was a hard proposition for the op-
ponents. The fact that his team mate and coach
picked him as all-Maine guard is an indication
of his real value to the team.

It is hard to describe just what the team will

*54

lose at the graduation of Douglas, "the fighting
center." There has never been a better exhibi-
tion of Bowdoin spirit and grit than that made
by "Doug" who, although declared physically un-
fit to engage in the game, was out every night
giving the best he had in him to the College. He
made a brilliant finish to his rememberable foot-
ball career here in his game against Vermont.
Barry made a good substitute center and was in
the game every minute of play. His speed and
aggressiveness made up for his lack of weight.

At the right of center, Alton Lewis was in
every play, working like a Trojan and putting up
a steady, consistent game.

Leadbetter at right tackle was the "find" of the
year. His game this year marks him as one of
the best tackles we have had in a long while and
in the next three years he will develop into a
star of the first magnitude.

The end positions were uncertain all season.
Hinch, Lew Brown, Page and Dole were the
regulars in the two wing positions and all played
well. Fitzgerald played remarkably well at this
position in the Bates game but was unfortunately
disqualified for the rest of the season on account
of scholastic work.

Crosby at quarterback, before the end of the
season, developed into a capable general and one
whom his teammates could trust implicitly to di-
rect the team. If he had another year or two
"Chuck" would develop into a star.

LaCasce at fullback played a steady, consis-
tent game all year. His kicking was a large ad-
dition to the team's strength and the way he stood
up before the fast charges of the Bates ends and
never faltered in his punts will not soon be for-
gotten.

Foster at halfback was not in shape to play un-
til the beginning of the Maine series, but showed
that he is a valuable man. With more weight
and college experience he should develop into
one of the best line-buckers seen here in a long
time.

Harry Faulkner at halfback was not in trim for
a great part of the season, but played a brilliant
game against Vermont. He is a very dangerous
man with the ball on a dry field.

Capt. -elect Bob Weatherill was, without doubt,
the star of the team this year. The best ground
gainer and the best tackier on the team, he played
hard every minute of the game. Next year he
should make a wonder.

Coach Bergin worked hard with the team and
followed its fortunes with the spirit of a Bowdoin
man. Mountfort gave valuable service to the
College in spending his afternoons on the field

coaching the line men and second team. Next
year we hope to see him in a Bowdoin uniform
playing a star game at guard.

"Doc" Smith as manager, with due respect to
his predecessors, was from every point of view
the best the College has had in a long time. He
is unanimously the choice for all-Maine manager.

Sept. 28 — Bowdoin 20, Ft. McKinley 6.

SOPHS, 10; FRESHMEN, 3 -NOV. 23

Seven years ago the Sophomores won the an-
nual Freshman-Sophomore football game. For-
tune smiled on them once more last Saturday and
they won another game.

It was a good hard contest from whistle to
whistle and furnished plenty of excitement in
every period. The Freshmen started off with a
whirl, and at the end of the first period it looked
as if they had a fair chance to win. The Sopho-
mores, however, came back in the second period
and had a little whirl of their own. Luckily for
the Freshmen the ball was in the center of the
field and the best the Sophomores could do was
to tie the score by a well-placed field goal from
the 20 yard line by Floyd. The ball was rushed
up and down the center of the field all through
the game and neither goal was in danger except
when the Sophomores scored and during the last
few minutes of play.

The Freshmen were good in secondary defense,
but weak in their line, while the Sophomores had
their weight and strength all in the line. Lull and
J. Moulton were the strong points in the Fresh-
men line, and Moulton and Keegan in the Sopho-
mores'. Floyd, of the Sophomores, was the best
offensive man and his line plunging was a feature
of the game. Glidden and Parsons were the
ground gainers for the Freshmen, and they di-
vided the honors with Floyd. MacCormick, the
lightest end on record, played a fine game at end
for the Sophs and dumped a lion's share of the
Freshmen plays. Mannix ran his team well and
was strong in running back punts.

GAME IN DETAIL

Glidden kicks off. After a loss of ground by
a fumble, Floyd punts. Freshmen make first
down but lose the ball. Fuller recovers the ball
on the Sophomores' 20 yard line on a bad fum-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

155

ble. Glidden kicks a field goal from the 17 yard
line. Period ends with the ball in the Sopho-
mores' possession on their own 47 yard line.
Score : Freshmen, 3 ; Sophomores, o.
Second Period

The Sophomores start in with a rush and car-
ry the ball back 30 yards on the first two plays.
Floyd kicks a field goal from the 20 yard line.
An exchange of punts brings the ball back to the
Freshmen's 5 yard line, where they hold for
downs. The Freshmen rally, and carry the ball
well down to the center of the field. Sophomores
lose 20 yards on an attempt to punt. Score : 3-3.
Third Period

Floyd kicked off and Parsons carries the ball
back 10 yards. Bamford makes 15 yards through
center. Fuller loses 7 yards. Mannix recovers a
fumble and gains 10 yards. Floyd kicks and Mac-
Cormick recovers on the 20 yard line. Sophs
penalized 10 yards. Floyd 15 yards through right
guard. Floyd 12 yards more on the other side of
the line. Mannix no gain. Somers 10 vards.
Ball on the Freshmen's 3 yard line. First down.
(Great excitement, and much good advice from
the sidelines.) Floyd one-half yard. (Freshmen
cheers.) Somers one-half yard loss. (Crowd
pours on the field.) Floyd makes the touchdown
through the right side of his line. Somers kicks
the goal. At the end of the period the Freshmen
have the ball on their own 28 yard line. Score :
Sophomores, 10; Freshmen, 3.
Fourth Period

Glidden punts to the 25 yard line. Hagerman
tackles Somers for no gain. Floyd punts. Glid-
den recovers the ball and carries it back 10 yards.
Glidden 5 yards. Freshmen penalized 5 yards,
off side. Glidden punts and Smith runs the ball
back 10 yards. Sophs penalized and fail to make
downs. Sixteen seconds to play, Freshmen's ball
on the 20 yard line. Glidden 11 yards. (Fresh-
men rooters go wild ; silence in the Sophomore
camp.) Mannix somehow gets the ball and tears
off down the field, never stopping till he reaches
the Gym. The game is over.

ALL-MAINE SELECTIONS

The annual crop of All-Maine teams this fall
was very scanty. Those picked by the papers
did not agree to any extent and showed signs of
hasty preparation without a knowledge of the
field of material from which to pick. Two of the
best selections were made by Coach Bergin and
Captain Wood. This is Bergin's State team: —
1. e., Danahy, Bates ; 1. t., Wood, Bowdoin ; 1. g.,
Pratt, Bowdoin; c, Baker, Maine; r. g., Sawyer,
Maine; r. t., Bigelow, Maine; r. e., Thompson,
Bates; q. b., Talbot, Bates; 1. h. b., Fraser, Colby;
r. h. b., Weatherill, Bowdoin ; f . b., Shepard,
Maine. Wood's selection differs in only two po-
sitions, that of Cobb of Maine in place of Talbot
for quarterback and Dyer of Colby in place of
himself at left tackle. It will be noted that there
are four Maine men in the lineup, three from
Bowdoin, three from Bates and one from Colby.

EDITORIAL BOARD

The members of the two up-
Class Spirit per classes are to be congrat-
ulated upon the way in which

their elections during the past week were held.

They are satisfied in each case that the men se-

lected for the different offices represent the real
choice of the class. The meetings were unmarred
by any trace of factional dispute; and were on the
other hand marked by a pleasing spirit of co-
operation. The Orient hopes that this same
spirit may be carried into all the undertakings of
the year and may become as firm a Bowdoin tra-
dition as fair play on the athletic field.

With the approach of the
Tomorrow Thanksgiving season, the

Christian Association has as
usual arranged for a practical application of the
text that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Tomorrow it will take up a collection at the door
of the Chapel for the purpose of furnishing as
many dinners as possible to the needy families of
the town : a work which has met with a most
grateful response in the past and which it is high-
ly desirable to continue. Everyone will enjoy
his own Thanksgiving the more if he has the sat-
isfaction of knowing that he has helped to pro-
vide good cheer for those less fortunate than him-
self. Tomorrow let generous contribution be the
watchword.

There is one omission from
An Omission the annual catalogue which

the Orient desires to bring
to the attention of the College. Although there
appears a statement concerning the Student
Council, there is no mention of the Associated
Students' organization or the blanket tax col-
lected to support undergraduate activities. At
the same time there is a statement of the low,
average, and liberal expenses of students. From
these lists are excluded such items as furniture,
travelling expenses, class dues, and fraternity
fees, "since the taste and character of the in-
dividual students vary to such a degree that all
such estimates are of little value." The blanket
tax, however, calls for a fixed expenditure of
fifteen dollars a year by every man who is to par-
ticipate in the election of officers including the
Student Council, and who is in general to take
part in the activities of the Associated Students
of the College. As such a fixed expense, the
Orient believes that the blanket tax should be
included in the statements of undergraduate or-
ganizations and expenses.

THE CATALOGUE OUT

The 1912-1913 catalogue has just been received
at the office and is ready for general distribution
to students and alumni. In the many number of
changes in courses, faculty personnel and gen-
eral information is reflected the improvements

BOWDOIN ORIENT

!57

and changes which have been made in the past
year both by students and faculty.

There are exactly the same number of students
in the academical department as there were last
year, 333. In the Medical School there are 11
less students than last year, the number this year
being 72. The distinction between students tak-
ing the Arts and those taking the Science degree
is made in the list of students. There are 7 Soph-
omores and 16 Freshmen taking the B.S. course.
There are 8 Freshmen taking the Medical Pre-
paratory course offered according to the new reg-
ulations for entrance to the Medical School. It
is a significant fact that without any faculty or
undergraduate ruling, but seemingly as a result
of a general recognition of the desirability of
such a condition there are no members of the
Freshman class rooming in the fraternity houses.
There are fewer men not receiving their class
standing than was the case last year.

The faculty has been increased by nine mem-
bers, there being now a total of 82. There are
three additions to the faculty of the academical
department. There are a number of changes in
the membership of the faculty committees.

The honorary commencement appointments
were given to a considerably smaller number last
year than before owing to the operation of
stricter requirements for such honorary appoint-
ments.

The new Benjamin Apthorp Gould Fuller Lec-
tureship which provides for instruction in per-
sonal hygiene is mentioned. The student life is
given more recognition in a short statement of
fraternity life at Bowdoin, with prominent men-
tion of the new Bowdoin Club.

The alumni membership on the Athletic Coun-
cil is changed owing to the death of Col. Wing
who served for so many years in that capacity.
The two new alumni members are George C.
Purington and Donald C. White.

The detailed description of the College build-
ings is omitted and in place of it a short descrip-
tion of the new gymnasium and the Art collec-
tions is included.

Some of the most important changes are in the
lists of courses. The new courses in Art and
Music are included. The courses in Education
under Professor McConaughy reappear after a
lapse of three years. There will be a new course
in this department called Educational Psychology
open to Juniors and Seniors next year.

The new course in literary composition for six
students, English 9 and 10, receives a place in the
English Department and a new course of a some-
what similar nature is to be given next year by
Professor Hormell. It is to deal with Municipal

government with special relation to municipal
problems and is limited to ten students chosen
from those taking Political Science I and 2.

Other new courses will be English 13, The
Drama, under Professor McConaughy, to be of-
fered next year : Economics 8, Social Reform,
under Mr. Joseph Davis; Economics 5B, Conser-
vation, to be offered next year in place of So-
ciology by Professor Catlin. A course in Mod-
ern European History is to be given by Professor
Bell next year, called History 10.

French 13 and 14 is now French 7 and 8.
There are some minor changes in the outlines of
the advanced German courses.

MUSICAL CLUBS ORGANIZING

After several weeks of rehearsing the Glee and
Mandolin Clubs are beginning to round into
shape for another successful season. Before very
long the final choice of the men for the Clubs
will be made and the last rehearsals will begin
before the actual concerts.

The Clubs are especially fortunate this year in
having the services of Professor Wass of the
Music Department. He has coached the Glee
Club for the past few years before his connection
with the College and has produced excellent or-
ganizations. With the additional advantage of
having him at the College constantly even better
results are expected this season. A great deal of
new material is trying out for the Glee Club and
about eight of these will make the club this year.
George A. Tibbets, Medic. '13, leader of last
year's club, is again out for the rehearsals. A lot
of new material is out for the Mandolin Club also.

As a result of the trials held recently Cedric
R. Crowell '13 was selected reader of the Clubs
this year to take the place of Arthur D. Welch
who graduated last June. Crowell is president of
the Masque and Gown, and was the star of that
club's play last year. He is an Alexander Prize
Speaker and has done considerable .work in read-
ing.

The usual Maine trip of the Clubs will be taken
the week of January 29, 1913. A concert has
been scheduled in Portland, probably for Mon-
day, January 27. It is planned also to take the
usual spring trip in Massachusetts, ending with
the concert in Boston.

DEBATING NEWS

At a meeting of the Debating Council held
Thursday afternoon, it was voted to hold the an-
nual Freshman-Sophomore debate on January 13,
1913. A committee composed of Wish '13, Tut-
tle '13 and Simpson '14 was appointed to arrange
the details.

i5«

BOWDOIN ORIENT

The trials for these class teams will be held
December 13, in Memorial Hall. Sometime be-
fore that date a list of the contestants in the or-
der in which they will speak will be posted.

The question is : Resolved, That the President
of the United States should be elected by direct
popular vote. This question was selected as be-
ing very even, not too complicated for new men,
and one on which there is a good quantity of ma-
terial.

A special shelf bearing some of the best arti-
cles on this subject will be made up at the Li-
brary and when the teams are selected, a coach
will be chosen from the Council for each team.

This is something which should interest every
member of the lower classes. It not only gives
an interesting class contest, in which the superior
numbers of the one will not be an advantage, but
it also furnishes a stepping stone to something
greater in the same line of work. The Brad-
bury Debates which lead to the varsity debating
teams, will be held at the beginning of the second
semester and with the experience of the inter-
class debates behind them, the Freshmen and
Sophomores should have a fine chance of making
one of these.

At this meeting it was also voted that prelimi-
nary arrangements should be made for Bowdoin
to enter a triangular debating league similar to
the one in which she participated last year. It is
understood that Wesleyan is ready to form such
a league, but the third college is as yet a matter
of doubt.

The interscholastic league is now being
formed. It is hoped, and there seems to be a
likelihood at present that two leagues of four
teams each can be formed instead of only one as
in years past.

gone out from all the different fraternal organi-
zations."

SUNDAY CHAPEL

President Hyde chose as his text at Sunday
Chapel, "Am I my brother's keeper?" and dis-
cussed the subject as it applied to undergraduate
life at Bowdoin. He said in part : "We are ceas-
ing to be paternal because we are becoming so
intensely fraternal. The College is now organ-
ized into nine groups, where the students, young
and old, come together to help each other and
work for the common good. In giving over con-
trol of the social life to the men in these organi-
zations, the College takes a great risk and the
men a great responsibility. When the fraternity
abuses this responsibility, evil consequences re-
sult. Fortunately, the responsibility has been so
well assumed this year by the fraternity men that
a very beneficial and wholesome influence has

MUSIC V

The first meeting of the class in Music V, the
new course in Chorus Singing, was held Friday
night at 7.15 in Y. M. C. A. Hall. Although the
attendance was small the session was very en-
thusiastic, and it is hoped and confidently ex-
pected that a large number of students will en-
roll next Friday night. The class meets weekly
on Friday nights throughout the year.

The course is open to all students, requires no
technical training and does not count toward a
degree. It gives valuable instruction in elemen-
tary chorus singing, and includes sight reading
in song; practical work in intervals, scales, and
relationship of keys ; study of modes, rhythm, ac-
centuation, expression marks, musical terms, etc.
One-half of the period is devoted to black-board
instruction and singing tests, and the remainder
to four-part chorus singing.

DRAMATIC CLUB NEWS
The Dramatic Club is now selecting a play for
Ivy Day. This play will also be used on the road,
but a different one will be chosen for Commence-
ment. The management of the club will issue a
call for candidates soon after the Thanksgiving
vacation. All who have any intention of trying
out for the Dramatic Club should be present then.
Copies of the play will be given out and compe-
tition will begin for places on the cast.

ORGAN RECITAL FOR STUDENTS

Professors Hutchins, Nixon, and Wass, and
about one hundred of the students who were in
Portland Saturday, November 16, for the Ver-
mont game, attended a recital given by Mr. Mac-
Farlane, the municipal organist, on the great
Memorial Organ in City Hall. Although the con-
cert was primarily designed for the students of
the Music Department, all Bowdoin men were in-
vited. The program follows :
Intermezzo from Cavaleria Rusticana Mascagni
Largo Handel

Toccato in F Bach

Humoresque Doorak

Evening Bells and Cradle Song Mac Far lane

Evening Song Johnson

As an addition to the regular program, Mr.
MacFarlane played parts of other pieces in an in-
formal lecture-recital, during which he invited
all the students to inspect the console on the
stage, explaining in detail the working of the
organ.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

159

The concert was of high order. Some of the
most striking features of the organ were its im-
mense, almost overwhelming power, the delicate
sweetness of the stops, the ethereal beauty of the
vox celeste stop, the mysterious emotional qual-
ity of the echo in the dome, and the almost per-
fect imitation of orchestral instruments.

As the' football team and many of the other
students were unable to be present at this concert,
another recital will probably be arranged later at
a time equally convenient for all the students.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

The speaker at the Y. M. C. A. meeting De-
cember fifth will be Rev. Charles Harbutt of
Portland. Mr. Harbutt is the son of English
missionaries in the Samoan Islands. He attended
school in Chicago, was engaged in business in the
Middle West, and then entered the Bangor Theo-
logical Seminary, graduating from that institu-
tion. He has preached in Bridgton, Searsport
and Presque Isle, and has since been Superinten-
dent of the Congregational Conference and Mis-
sionary Society of Maine. His address should
prove of special interest to Bowdoin students.

A pamphlet, "The Study of the History of Art
in the Colleges and Universities of the United
States," by E. Baldwin Smith, A.M., Fellow in

Art and Archaeology at Princeton University,
(Bowdoin 1911), has been received at the Art
Building. This pamphlet was issued in response
to a request from Prof. Adolf o Venturi for the
10th International Congress of Art Historians
which met in Rome in October.

Some Egyptian photographs have been pre-
sented to the College by Mrs. Edward P. Pennell
of Brunswick. The photographs were taken
while Mrs. Pennell was travelling in Egypt with
her brother, Dana Estes, Hon. A.M.

A friend of the College who wishes to remain
anonymous has provided for filling one of the
two remaining unused panels of the Chapel with
a copy of Michael Angelo's "Isaiah," the familiar
figure in the decoration of the Sistine.

Since the number of issues yearly is limited,
The Orient will not appear again until two weeks
from today.

Word has been received recently that the three
Bowdoin students who took the Rhodes scholar-
ship examinations this fall have passed them suc-
cessfully and are candidates for the scholarship
from this State. These men are E. Tuttle '13, A.
Gray '14, and N. Tuttle '14. Crosby '13 passed
the examinations two years ago.

"King" Pratt, the coach of the Sophomore
football team, has completed his fourth year as
coaeh of class teams at Bowdoin. Leo's proteges
have been successful three out of four times.

At a meeting of the eight cross-country men at
Webber's Studio last Thursday noon, James O.
Tarbox '14 was elected captain of next year's
team. Jim has been a member of the team for
the past two years and can always be counted
upon to finish well up among the leaders. His
running ability has all been developed since he
first turned out as a Freshman in College and he
is a fine example of what hard work and faith-
ful, consistent training will do.

Last Saturday evening the Massachusetts Club
held a meeting at the D. K. E. House. Officers
were elected as follows : F. Twombly '13, presi-
dent; W. Greene '13, vice-president; Philip
Smith '15, secretary. The next meeting will be
held Dec. 14.

The Freshmen will not be required to wear
their caps during the coming season of wintry
winds and frozen ears. The time in which the
regulation headgear is not required is from
Thanksgiving to spring vacations.

At a meeting of the Athletic Council a week

manager as follows : Joe McDonald, Will Liv-
ingstone, with Maynard Kuhn, alternate. The
election will be held sometime next month.

Plans are being made for the Y. M. C. A. depu-
tation work this year and the teams will be or-
ganized soon. This part of the Association work
will be carried out more extensively this year,
owing to the great success of the work last year.

Quite a number of students attended the con-
cert of Sousa and his band last Friday afternoon.

George W. Higgins, the man who has built
Bowdoin bleachers as far back as the time when
Nick commenced to be Bowdoin trainer, has re-
cently accepted the position of janitor at the new
Gymnasium. He will still retain his position as
superintendent of the carpenter work at the ath-
letic field.

The College is glad to know that the unfortu-
nate affair in which some of the students were
mentioned in the Portland papers the night of
the Vermont game, reflects nothing but credit
on the student body, when the facts are fully
known.

Thanksgiving — and then gym work, but in the
new gym. Hooray !

Dana K. Merrill ex-'i4 was on the campus last
week. Merrill plans to return to College either
next semester or next fall.

Charles F. Houghton ex-'i5 has left for Al-
berta, Canada, where he will live the life of an
independent farmer.

The students who live to the west have found
out that they will have to spend the first after-
noon of their precious vacation in Brunswick, if
they have any classes the third and fourth hours.
The trains for Portland between 10.55 and 4-25
have been all removed and their only method of
escape is through Lewiston, a two-hour trip, or
over the electrics.

been engaged to deliver a course of lectures at
Yale next month on ''The French Revolution."
Prof. Fling received his Ph.D. from Leipzig in
1890 and is considered an authority on all mat-
ters of European History, his book on Mirabeau
and the French Revolution being considered a
standard historical authority. He will visit
Portland following this lecture course and may
also visit the College.

Donald B. McMillan would be at the head of an
expedition which will attempt to explore Crocker
Land next summer. This expedition will be un-
der the auspices of the American Museum of
Natural History and the party will leave Sidney,
N. S., on June 20th.

'99. — Dr. Fred H. Albee of New York City re-
cently performed an important and interesting
experiment before the third annual Clinical Con-
gress of Surgeons of North America in that city.
This operation was performed as one of a series
of clinical demonstrations which makes this con-
gress so valuable. Dr. Albee removed a piece
from a boy's shin-bone and splinted it into the
spine, forming a human crutch to take the place
of a plaster cast. The operation was very suc-
cessful. Dr. Albee obtained his medical degree
from Harvard in 1903, and is now a prominent
physician of the metropolis. He is also an in-
structor in Orthopedic Surgery at Columbia

At the last meeting of the Student Council it
was decided to hold a Christmas smoker on the
evening of December 16. This will be the first
big smoker of the year and it is hoped that prac-
tically the entire student body will attend. At
this smoker the football election will be held. At
a meeting of the Council two weeks ago Harold
E. Verrill was added to the list of nominees made
by the Athletic Council for assistant football
manager. At the time of the Athletic Council
nominations Verrill was thought to be ineligible
but the matter was later straightened out. The
other nominees are William T. Livingston and

LETTER FROM COACH BERGIN

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 27, 1912.
To the Editor of the Bowdoin Orient.

Dear Sir: — On the 21st of November, the New
Haven Union published an alleged interview
with the writer. The greater part of the alleged
interview was devoted to a contemptible attack
on Mr. Brickley of Harvard.

The New Haven Union published a retraction
in its next issue in so far as it had attributed the
statement of the previous issue to me. This re-
traction has not been given the same publicity
that was accorded the alleged interview.

During the time that I was present at the dis-
cussion mentioned in the paper there was nothing
said by any of those in the party that could have
been interpreted as a reflection "on Mr. Brickley.

I have never discussed the Bowdoin team with
any newspaper representative. The Union at-
tributed an analysis of the Harvard and Yale
teams to me of which not a single word had been
uttered or communicated in any way by me.

The whole article, in so far as it attributed any
' of the statements made therein to me, was abso-
lutely false.

I would be very grateful if you would permit
me to use your paper to correct ths terrible error
and justify myself in the eyes of my Bowdoin
friends.

Respectfully yours,
(Signed) FRANK S. BERGIN.

BOWDOIN IN WHO'S WHO

Investigations conducted in the Library in re-
gard to the representation of Bowdoin graduates
in Who's Who in America show that 102 are con-
sidered of sufficient importance to warrant such
an honor. The edition of 1910-1911 gave 99 bi-
ographies of Bowdoin men. Of these, in the two
years following the publication, 17 died. This is
a large mortality list and it is a matter of great
credit that 20 of the younger men should have
attained this distinction.

The Who's Who in the . World or The Interna-
tional Who's Who, containing about 12,000 biog-
raphies includes the name of 29 Bowdoin grad-
uates. This is an excellent percentage and it
may be interesting to note the names of those
thus honored.

Hon. Joseph Little Pickard, 1844, who has a
noteworthy career as an educator.

Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, 1852, soldier,
statesman, and college president.

Hon. Sumner Increase Kimball, 1855, General
Supt. Life Saving Service for thirty years.

Fellow of Yale University.

Hon. Lysander Hill, 1858, lawyer and judge in
Chicago.

Rev. Frank Sewall, 1858, pastor at Glasgow,

Scotland and Washington, D. C.

Rev. Horatio Oliver Ladd, 1859, pastor and
educator.

Hon. William Widgery Thomas, i860, states-
man and diplomat.

Prof. Merritt C. Fernald, 1861, ex-president
of U. of Maine.

Prof. Sylvester Burnham, 1862, Dean of the
Theological School, Colgate University.

Prof. Henry L. Chapman, 1866, of Bowdoin.

Hon. Henry Brewer Quimby, 1869, ex-gover-
nor of New Hampshire.

gressman, New York.

Hon. James J. Roberts, 1870, lawyer in New
York City.

Edward Page Mitchell, 1871, editor of the
New York Sun.

Rev. Samuel Valentine Cole, 1874, President
of Wheaton College.

Dudley Allen Sargent, 1875, noted for interest
in promotion of physical training.

Rev. George Croswell Cressey, 1875, clergy-
man in London, Eng.

Professor Arlo Bates, 1876, of English de-
partment, Mass. Inst, of Technology.

Professor George Thomas Little, 1877, Libra-
rian of Bowdoin College.

Rear Admiral Robert Edwin Peary, 1877, arc-
tic explorer, author, discoverer of North Pole.

George W. Tillson, 1877, civil engineer, con-
sulting engineer, New York.

Professor Alfred Edgar Burton, 1878, Dean,
Mass. Inst, of Technology.

Hon. Charles Fletcher Johnson, 1879, U. S.
Senator from Maine.

gress from Maine.

Hon. Frederic Clement Stevens, 1881, member
Congress from Minnesota.

Professor Charles C. Torrey, 1884, Professor
Semitic Languages, Yale.

In Who's Who, an English publication and giv-
ing but comparatively few Americans, six Bow-
doin men are mentioned. Gen. Chamberlain,
Arlo Bates, Admiral Peary, Professor Torre^
are included in this list as well as the other and
in addition there appear the names of James R.
Day, 1874, Chancellor of Syracuse University,
and Henry Crosby Emery, 1892, chairman of the
U. S. Tariff Board.

It is interesting to note that President Hyde is

included in all three of these publications. The
Faculty members who are Bowdoin graduates in
the American Who's Who are: Dr. Alfred
Mitchell, 1859, Dean Emeritus, Medical School
of Maine; Professor Chapman, 1866; Dr. Ger-
rish, 1866; Professor Henry Johnson, 1874;
Lucilius A. Emery, 1861 ; Professor Little, 1877;
Professor Hutchins, 1883; Professor W. B.

ing are Professors Woodruff and Ham.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

At the Y. M. C. A. Thanksgiving collection,
taken on Wednesday, Nov. 27th, $29.50 was re-
ceived, and fourteen families were provided for.

Rev. R. W. Plant of Gardiner will be the
speaker at the Y. M. C. A. meeting December 12.
Mr. Plant is a canon of the Episcopal Church
and is well known throughout the State.

The year's deputation work began Sunday,
when Douglas '13, C. Brown '14, and Merrill '14
held meetings at Bethel.

Clufi ano Council Meetings

It is requested that the various sectional clubs
meet as soon as possible and elect officers for this
year. The Central Committee, composed of the
presidents of the sectional clubs, will be organ-
ized before the Christmas vacation to continue
the work outlined by the "Lunt Plan." It is im-
portant that an organization be effected before
the Christmas holidays. Results of elections
should be reported to J. A. Norton, 7 S. Maine,
or W. F. Eberhardt, Beta Theta Pi House.

The final trials for the Glee Club wen* held
this afternoon in the music room at Banister
Hall. The men that have passed the previous
trials were examined in squads of four on their
musical ability in general, their knowledge of
reading, and the progress that they had made in
learning the songs. The names of the lucky
singers will be published later and very soon,
probably this week, Prof. Wass will begin the
coaching in earnest.

Only a few of this year's dates have been made
finally, although several preliminary ones have
been arranged. The club will leave on its first
trip the last of January or the first of February,
and then for several weeks concerts will be given
intermittently. The student body expects great
things of this year's organization with a coach on
the scene of action all the time, and Manager
Crosby and Leader Eaton are trying their best to
satisfy them.

Negotiations have been completed whereby

Bowdoin is to enter a triangular debating league
as it did last year. The other members of the
league are Hamilton College of Clinton, New
York and Wesleyan University. Bowdoin's vis-
iting team will probably debate at Wesleyan,
while its other team will fight it out with Hamil-
ton at Brunswick.

The annual banquet of the Deutscher Verein
will be held next Thursday at the Hotel Eagle.
The initiation of new members and the election
of officers for the ensuing year will take place at
that time.

At its last meeting the Council unanimously
adopted a resolution in favor of the general
scheme of limiting the number of activities in
which any one student may participate. The
committee is now at work on a detailed plan of
regulation of the amount of activities and it is
possible that they may have the matter ready for
presentation to the student body at the Christmas
smoker.

At a meeting of the Orient Board held last
Thursday afternoon George Talbot '15 was
elected to the Board as Sophomore member. A
regulation was adopted requiring the publication
of at least two articles each semester by every
member of the Board, failing in which each mem-
ber not having two articles shall be automatically
dropped by the Board. The Board voted to rec-
ommend to the Bowdoin Publishing Co. that the
number of issues per volume be changed from 30
to 32.

The Y. M. C. A. Cabinet held its monthly
meeting at the Beta Theta Pi House last Thurs-
day evening. It was decided to have the piano
used outside the Y. M. C. A. room only in very
exceptional cases and after the consent of the
Executive Committee has been obtained.

At a meeting of the Athletic Council Thursday
evening the matters of baseball and football
schedules were discussed. It has been decided to
hold light football practice in connection with the
track squad for those desiring it. Names of all
wishing to take this work should be handed to
Capt. Weatherill at once.

All of the stewards in college desirous of form-
ing a Stewards' Club, with the end in view of
saving money for the various eating clubs, will
meet in Room No. 23, Maine Hall, on Thursday,
Dec. 12, at 4 o'clock.

After the close of the foot-
Election Smoker hall season, the opportunities

for the undergraduates to
gather in informal meetings are somewhat far
between. For this reason no one should miss the
first smoker of the year, which is to be held dur-
ing the coming week. The attendance at the fall
rallies has been deplorably small, often falling
short of half the number of men in college. Such
a condition makes the rallies less representative
of the whole college than they should be. Espe-
cially is this true in the case of election rallies.
As the smoker will also be the occasion of the
election of the manager and the assistant man-
ager of the football team, everyone should be
present to make it a three hundred man affair.

The Orient desires to call

Class Debate attention to the trials held

this week for the purpose of

choosing the sophomore and freshman debating

teams. Last year although the trials were duly
announced, there were not enough candidates for
one of the teams present to enable a choice to be
made. This year the number of entries has been
large, assuring keen and beneficial competition.
The candidates ought to be present in full force
in order that all the material in the two lower
classes may be developed by the time that the
teams are chosen to represent the college in the
contests with Wesleyan and Hamilton.

It is hardly necessary to
Letter from Coach bring t0 the notice of the

Bergin readers the letter from

Coach Bergin which appears in another column.
The letter deals with a situation known to many
of the undergraduates, and is self explanatory.
The Orient is confident that the letter will serve
perfectly the purpose for which it was written,
and is confident that all Bowdoin men will con-
tinue to be warm friends of Coach Bergin.

Annie Talbot Cole Lecture
Continued from page 163

last Tuesday night in Memorial Hall. His sub-
ject was "The Denial of Life" and he said in
part :

"Poetry in its range contains and repeats the
whole of life; in poetry one can by sympathy be
anything that man has ever been. Hence I look
on poetry most often as the ritual of the passion
of life and by poetry I believe the youth is
brought most rapidly, most vividly and with most
conviction to the perception of noble living, to
the dreaming desire for it, to the passionate ef-
fort after it. The threshold of the eternal is art;
there are other senses of the eternal, for it is of
the infinite, but other vision there is none.

"In the poetic life truly lived every withdrawal
from life is an entrance on a higher duty, every
denial is a greater affirmation, and each of the
thousand mortal deaths with which the poetic
life is sown is a dying immortality. In the select
and fortunate among men — those whom the race
honors as its ideals of the spirit — this truth is
felt to be life's highest achievements, though
they be cradled into it by wrong and learn it by
suffering, as was long ago said of the poets; few
indeed are they who come to this knowledge
early and directly and happily as if by some
heavenly dispensation. For us, who constitute
the mass, poetry provides in its whole range suc-
cessive figurings of gradual detachment; and these
idealities, I am fond of thinking, constitute a
kind of approach to the eternal like the angelic
hierarchies of scriptural fable. It belongs to our

BOWDOIN ORIENT

165

nature, as each stands in his place, to attach
ourselves to the heroic life in action, to the life
of the lover in emotion, to the philosophic life in
the intellect, according as we have power; and in
the successive passing away of these to come
nearer to the eternal element that shines through
these bodily idealities that art creates in order to
bring before our living and mortal vision that
world to which all thought and feeling is finally
imageless. 'The deep truth,' says Shelley, 'is
imageless.' Beyond art, which is final and con-
densed illusion of life in the soul, lies only that
which eye has not seen nor ear heard."

THE 1913 CALENDAR

The 1913 Calendar, published under the man-
agement of Gardner '13 and Eaton '14, appeared
last week. The printing was done by George C.
Fry of Philadelphia and is fully up to the stand-
ard which he has set in work for the largest col-
leges. The cover is a photogravure of Hubbard
Hall.

The first page contains pictures of President
Hyde, the chapel, and the class of '75 gates.
Next come pictures of the old gym, the new gym,
and Dr. Whittier. Pictures of the football, base-
ball, tr^ck, arid relay teams follow and last come
the fraternity houses and some of the college
buildings.

Those responsible for the Calendar are to be
congratulated on its general attractiveness and
excellence.

2Dn t&e Campus

The following list of the men in the Chapel
choir has been posted on the bulletin: — From
1913, Colby, L. Dodge, Page, Saunders, L. Smith,
Twombly; from 1914, Eaton, Monroe, Shea;
from 1915, Austin, Card, Cross, Trottier, West,
Wilson, McKenney; from 1916, Barry.

At a recent meeting of the Ibis, Fletcher
Twombly '13 was initiated into the society. The
question of literary speakers for the coming year
was also discussed.

L. Crosby '13 has just returned from Mem-
phis, Tenn., where he attended the national con-
vention of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Dr. Woodberry was the guest of Dean Sills yes-
terday afternoon and met with the English 9
class which is now studying verse.

The Freshman football aggregation had their
pictures taken recently but with very good taste
did not wear their uniforms.

The apparatus is rapidly being installed in the
new gymnasium. The date when the classes will

begin has not yet been announced.

The following fraternities are to hold Christ-
mas dances on Friday evening, December 20 :
Alpha Delta Phi, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Sigma,
and Theta Delta Chi; Thursday evening: Beta
Theta Pi.

Gladys Klark's company and the "ten, twenty,
and thirty" seats attracted a large number of fol-
lowers of the drama to the Cumberland last
week.

Wish '13 was a delegate from the Bowdoin
chapter of Kappa Sigma to the celebration of
Founders' Day in Boston Saturday.

Leigh '14 attended the initiation of the Brown
chapter of Kappa Sigma Monday.

The familiar "Chiribiribin" of Amerigo Ber-
nadino, better known as Spaghetti, was heard on
the campus last week and again the college is
supplied with plaster ornaments.

The Bugle Board offers its annual induce-
ment to jokers in the form of a free Bugle for
eight or more grinds accepted.

Intercollegiate litotes

Twenty-two foreign countries are represented
by eighty students at the University of Wisconsin
this semester. The countries represented by four
or more are China, which has thirty-two; Can-
ada, eleven; Turkey, seven; and Mexico, four.
Last year only seventeen foreign countries were
represented.

Three hundred sixty-three conditions involving
three hundred one students were received by the
recorder of the University of Washington for the
period ending with the month of November, as
compared with five hundred seventy involving
four hundred twenty-seven students for the same
period last year.

At a meeting of the entire undergraduate and
faculty bodies of Dartmouth last week, it was
announced that Wallace F. Robinson of Boston
has made a gift of $100,000 to the trustees of the
college to be used in the erection of a new build-
ing to house the student organizations which are
non-athletic. ' Mr. Robinson's hope is that the
building may be of some service in counteracting
the emphasis that is now put upon college athlet-
ics.

Dr. Yager, for the past six years president of
Georgetown College in Kentucky, has resigned.
Dr. Yager has been connected with the institu-
tion in various capacities for twenty-eight years.

A new course that is of unusual interest and
importance at this time is to be added to the cur-
riculum of Hobart College. Professor John A.

Silver, head of the history department, announced
that he will begin at once a course in current top-
ics. This course will take up current political and
economical developments and will really be a
course in citizenship.

Statistics compiled by the registrar of the
Rhode Island State College show that the enter-
ing class this year, which numbers 76 students, is
the largest in the institution's history, while the
total number of students is ahead of any regis-
tered in any year. Last year's entering class was
58 in number. The entire student body now num-
bers 211.

Dr. E. T. Fairchild, superintendent of public
instruction in the State of Kansas, has accepted
the presidency of New Hampshire College.

At a meeting of the representatives of the non-
athletic organizations of Dartmouth College,
called by the faculty to consider some permanent
method of undergraduate representation upon the
body which controls all the non-athletic organiza-
tions, it was resolved that three student represen-
tatives be admitted to a proposed non-athletic
council, which will exert a control over non-ath-
letic affairs.

The University of Minnesota has refused to
grant "M's" to the members of the football team
because of damages done to the Northwestern
train which took them to the Wisconsin game.
The railroad company has submitted a bill for
damages amounting to $48 and the letters will not
be granted until someone admits his guilt and the
debt is paid.

Athletics cleared $12,084 for the University of
Michigan last year. The entire balance is due to
the financial success of football.

Because of the number of late sleepers at
Washington, the faculty has ordered the aid of
the big dining hall bell to bring the students to
their 8 o'clock classes.

It seems possible that the "honor system" may
have a trial at the University of Illinois, several
instructors having already tried it in their
classes. Several college organizations have de-
clared in favor of it and the student papers will
give editorial assistance.

Mt. Holyoke will have one of the largest stu-
dent social buildings in the country. It will con-
tain a college theatre and auditorium, seating
1500, a large dining room for the college func-
tions and offices for the student organizations.

The students at the University of Washington
are having a heated discussion and disagree-
ment with the president and board of regents of
the institution, resulting in the suspension of
over fifty prominent students and the censorship
of the college daily. The trouble is over the ac-

ceptance of a set of chimes from Alden J.
Blethen, editor of a daily paper in Seattle and
generally known as a man of low moral charac-
ter. Col. Blethen received an honorary degree
of A.M. from Bowdoin in 1872. The present in-
dications are that the students will win out in the
fight.

A decided innovation was tried out at the Col-
lege Night entertainment at Brown University
last week, when a moving-picture machine was
used to arouse interest in one of the required
readings in the English courses, Dickens' "Tale
of Two Cities."

The faculty of the University of Washington
has voted to recommend to the president of the
Board of Regents that a college of science be
established. This would mean the separation of
the science departments from the College of Arts
and Sciences.

"What Becomes of College Graduates?" by
William B. Bailey, Ph.D., in the Independent for
November, is an article giving the following
table showing the occupations of American col-
lege graduates at three different periods, a cen-
tury apart :

Anyone desiring a good description of the re-
cent Harvard-Princeton game should read Ar-
thur Ruhl's article in Collier's for November
23rd, entitled "The Tiger Comes to Cambridge."
It was the first time Princeton had visited Har-
vard in sixteen years, "and the victory was Har-
vard's first one over Princeton in twenty-five
years.

For the fencers in College the Outing for De-
cember contains an instructive article in the form
of "Fencing in America," by Edward Breck.
"The All-Around Game of Tennis," by Raymond
D. Little in the same number shows how to play
the volleying position with success.

An excellent review of repent books appears in
the Outlook for November 23rd in "A Few Books
of Today," by Hamilton W. Mabie. The writer's
criticisms of the authors is clear and entertain-
ing. Among the late productions of a biographi-
cal nature are Albert Bigelow Paine's Mark
Twain (Harpers) and the Letters of George
Meredith (Scribners). James Bryce's South

America : Impressions and Observations (Mac-
millan) brings the reader face to face with a na-
tional personality.

Among the essays, Bliss Perry's American
Mind (Houghton Mifflin) is noteworthy. Other
books treating of the American are Meredith
Nicholson's Provincial American (Houghton
Mifflin) and Dr. S. M. Crother's Humanly Speak-
ing (same publishers).

Dr. Henry van Dyke has a collection of short
tales and stories under the name of The Un-
known Quantity (Scribners). George Mc-
Cutcheon receives recognition for his In the Hol-
low of Her Hand (Dodd, Mead & Co.).

Recent fiction has been added to the Library in
the form of The Lady and Soda San by Frances
Little and The Red Cross Girl by Richard Hard-
ing Davis. A new complete American edition of
Mark Twain's works in twenty-five volumes has
also been added.

Books of knowledge can be found in Heredity

Resolutions

Hall of Alpha Delta Phi

November 17, 1912.
It is with deepest sorrow that the Bowdoin
Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi records the death on
August 1 2th, of one of its distinguished mem-
bers, Louis Orsmond Brastow of the Class of
1857. His was a life of generous service for
others, in which as pastor, author, and professor
he has brought distinction not only upon himself
but also upon the Fraternity and College.

The Chapter takes this opportunity to express
its sincere sympathy to his immediate family and
to those who have been privileged to be associat-
ed with him.

For the Chapter,

Amherst College to study the modern Greek lan-
guage and customs and was in Athens when war
was declared.

'04. — Rev. Frederick Joseph Libby has assumed
a position on the Phillips-Exeter faculty as an
instructor in German and a preceptorial instruc-
tor in mathematics. He will also render service
to the students as a general counsellor. He

Church at Magnolia, Mass., to take up this new
work.

'94. — Rev. George Colby DeMott, who has
been for seven years the pastor of the Central
Congregational Church, and for the past _ two
years pastor of the combined Central and Winter
Street Churches of Bath, has tendered his resig-
nation to his parish and asks that it take effect
December 31st. Mr. DeMott has been very suc-
cessful in this field, not only in the pulpit but also
in his pastorial work, and his action is very much
regretted by his parish.

'94. — Mr. Ralph P. Plaisted has been appointed
Judge of the Municipal Court of Bangor. Mr.
Plaisted is a graduate of the Albany Law School
and has been very prominent in legal circles in

society, a "company which is working to elimi-
nate the evils of the loan shark, by conducting
against it a loan business on reasonable terms for
the good of the people," is becoming very promi-
nent for its good work.

'06. — Another feature of the recent Clinical
Congress of the surgeons of North America was
the demonstration of the method of treating
lateral displacements of the spine devised by Dr.
Edville G. Abbott of this class. Eight cases
treated for spinal curvature by this method were
exhibited. Dr. Abbott's work is one of the newer
procedure in orthopedic surgery. It consist of

rotating the spine from the side on which the cur-
vature appears until it is shown in the exact po-
sition on the other side. It is held in place there
by means of a specially devised jacket for a cer-
tain length of time and when it is finally re-
leased from this, the spine is readily moved to
normal position.

Dr. Abbott is one of the most successful of our
younger graduates. He took a course in grad-
uate work in Berlin after he had received his
medical degree, and the degree of Master of Arts
in this College. He was instructor in Orthopedic
Surgery from 1903 to 191 1 and at that time was
advanced to Lecturer in that subject.

'07. — William Shepherd Linnell of Saco was
married Nov. 12, to Miss Jessie Eudora Hopkin-
son of Saco. Henry D. Evans '01 of Augusta
was best man. The bride is a graduate of Thorn-
ton Academy. Mr. Linnell went to the Law De-
partment of the George Washington University
after graduating from here and has since been a
successful lawyer in his home city.

'07. — Mr. Charles W. Snow. A.M., recently
delivered a lecture on "The Esquimos of Alaska"
before the Portland Society of Natural History.
Mr. Snow, since leaving his position here at the
College as Professor of English has been in
Alaska in the interests of the Federal Bureau of
Education of the Department of Indian Affairs.
He has been stationed on the Seward Peninsula.

'08. — Another Bowdoin grad who is interested
in the same work is Arthur H. Ham, who in his
work as Director of the Division of Loans under
the Russell Sage Foundation Fund, has been
handling part of the work of this corporation. In
the course of this work, Mr. Ham has recently
published an interesting pamphlet on "The Cam-
paign Against the Loan Shark."

'08. — Prin. Ridgley C. Clark of Fryeburg Acad-
emy has been re-elected for a period of four
years. This is the first time in the history of the
Academy that a principal has been elected for
more than one year.

'11. — Lawrence Davis, who was in the Boston
office of Vickery, Hill Co., of Augusta last year,
has recently accepted a position in the advertis-

BRUNSWICK. MAINE, JANUARY 7, 1913

NO. 21

NEW GYM OPENS ITS DOORS
Monday, Jan. 6, the new Bowdoin Gymnasium
and the General Thomas Worcester Hyde Ath-
letic Building were informally given over to the
interests of physical training and athletics in
Bowdoin. Together the buildings form training
quarters second to that of no college in the coun-
try, and represent an outlay of more than $115,-
000 given by alumni, students and friends of the
College. Bowdoin's greatest need has at last
been filled.

The New Gymnasium faces the campus be-
tween Maine Hall and King Chapel and lies be-
tween the old Sargent Gymnasium and the Ob-
servatory. It is of brick with split face granite
trimmings built in colonial style. The front en-
trance facing the campus is done in cut granite
surmounted by the Bowdoin seal cut into the
granite pediment. The whole structure is impos-
ing without being too massive.

The General Thomas Worcester Hyde Athletic
Building is the largest structure in New England
devoted exclusively to athletics, measuring 160 by
120 feet. 120 by 40 feet of this space in the west
end of the building will be devoted to track work ;
the rest of the floor is given over to baseball prac-

tice. The baseball diamond is built of hard clay
with a sanded surface. It is of regulation size
with room to run over each base about ten feet.

Thirteen feet above the floor is a ten-foot run-
ning track of 12 laps to the mile. The baseball
cage is enclosed by 35,000 square feet of netting.
This huge net had to be made in sections and
then woven together.

These two buildings give to Bowdoin a physical
training equipment second to none in the country,
an equipment of which every student, alumnus,
and friend of old Bowdoin is justly proud.

Every Bowdoin man feels that with the open-
ing of the New Gym and Athletic Building a new
era in athletics begins. The Athletic Building-
will give Bowdoin at least a three months' start
over all other Maine colleges in baseball and
track. Enthusiasm is already running high
among the undergraduates. A squad of thirty-
five men reported for the relay team. In the past,
ten or twelve men would have been a large squad
to have dared the cold and ice of the old outdoor
board track. With the New Gym it will be much
easier to get the green material in the lower
classes working and to keep it working.

Mr. B. C. Morrill will be the general gymnas-
ium instructor and the track coach for the coming-

170

BOWDOIN ORIENT

year.

The instructor in heavy gymnastics will be Mr.
P. K. Holmes, Medic. '16. Mr. Holmes comes to
Bowdoin highly recommended from the Spring-
field Training School, where he was a member of
their gymnasium team. He also has a degree of
A.M. from Clark University.

The senior squad instructor will be Allan
Woodcock, Medic. '15. His assistants: L. A.
Crosby '13, C. R. Crowell '13.

Junior squad instructor, A. Woodcock, Medic.
'13; assistants, C. R. Crowell '13, Emmons Tufts
'13, J. C. Carr '13.

Sophomore squad instructor, A. Woodcock,
Medic. '13; assistants, R. D. Kennedy '13, W. C.
Lippincott '13, F. R. Loeffler '14, F. T. Garland

'14-

Freshman squad instructor, L. A. McFarland.
Medic. '15; assistants, R. D. Leigh '14, S. P.
Floyd '15, F. T. Garland '14.

CROSBY WINS RHODES SCHOLARSHIP

Bowdoin men have the opportunity to feel just-
ly proud, for at the recent meeting of the Board
of Selection, Laurence Alden Crosby '13 of Ban-
gor was chosen tfom-a particularly large and
■well-fitted number of candidates, to be the next
Rhodes scholar from Maine.

This means that "Chuck" has upheld Bowdoin's
enviable record of being the only Maine college
yet to be represented by a Rhodes scholar at
Oxford, and it means also that he has deservedly
won for himself a three years' course at the big
English university, with an annual income of
$1500.

Eligibility to secure this honor is based on a
man's all-round development. Not only is his
scholarship taken into consideration but also
much depends upon his ability as an athlete, his
personality and his powers of leadership. That
"Chuck" fully measures up to this required
standard is evident from his prominence in all
"branches of college activity. For two years he
has been first string quarterback on the football
team, was secretary and treasurer of his class
sophomore year, and president junior year, edi-
tor-in-chief of the Bugle and assistant manager
and manager of the Quill. In addition to this, he
has been for three years secretary and treasurer
of the Press Club, and a member of the Mandolin
Club, is secretary and treasurer of the Gibbons
Club, a member of Ibis and Friars, a member of
the Board of Proctors, secretary of the Student
Council and Associated Students and a member
of the Monday Night Club. "Chuck" is a Delta
Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa man and won

the Almon Goodwin Prize which goes to that Phi
Beta Kappa man with highest scholastic rank at
the end of the junior year. He also was awarded
the Goodwin French Prize his freshman year.

"Chuck" is planning to study either history or
jurisprudence, and when he sails for England in
October to take the place formerly held by
"Dave" Porter '06, and "Bob" Hale '10, and
"Eddie" Kern '11, he will have behind him the
confidence and best wishes of every Bowdoin
man.

CUTTS SPEAKS TONIGHT

Tonight at 7.30 o'clock a Senior smoker will be
held at which some matters of class interest and
a brief talk will be given by Mr. Oliver F. Cutts
of New York. Mr. Cutts is a graduate of Bates
and of Harvard Law School and in both these
institutions he was famous as an athlete. While
at Harvard he was selected as tackle on Walter
Camp's all-American team. He had a success-
ful law practice at Seattle, Washington for a
number of years and very successfully coached
the University of Washington football team for
one season. He is now giving his time toward
interesting college men in serving their communi-
ties by assisting in the work of altruistic institu-
tions and in similar ways. All seniors are invited
to attend and to come equipped with tobacco, etc.,
if they so desire.

ASSISTANT MANAGER AT LAST

On the fourth ballot, the third of the evening,
Joseph Cony McDonald was chosen assistant
football manager at an election in Memorial Hall
last Friday evening. The first ballot was led by
Verrill with McDonald and Livingston close sec-
onds. Then on the second ballot McDonald took
the lead and kept it throughout the remainder of
the balloting. At the end of the third try, Liv-
ingston withdrew his name, leaving the contest
between the two high men. The final polling was
8s to 71.

FIRST TRACK WORK IN NEW GYM

A large squad of track men answered the first
call for B. A. A. relay work last week. Probably
not more than half of the thirty-six men working
are out for the relay team, the remainder of
squad being those men who realize the benefits of
early training for the harder track work of the
spring. Coach Morrill advises all track men to
come out as it will give a line on candidates for
the class relay teams.

The following are the men who have reported :
Woodcock, Medic. 1915; 1913, L. Dodge, Gardi-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

ner. Hall, Haskell, Jones, Moulton, Norton, Wal-
"ker; 1914, Donahue, Marr, Payson, Tarbox;

1915, Bacon, Coxe, Cross, Livingston, MacCor-
mick, McWilliams, Pinkham, Prescott, Roberts,
Rogers, Rollins, Smith, Stetson, Porritt, Stowell;

1916, Bamford, Boardman, Blethen, Foster, Lead-
better, Fuller, Hall.

Of the entire thirty-six men fifteen are sopho-
mores, nine seniors, seven freshmen and four
juniors.

NEW USE FOR OLD GYM

The following statement regarding the use of
the old gymnasium for a Brunswick Boys' Club
has been prepared by the secretary of the Y. M.
C. A.

"For some years, the need has been felt for a
building in town where Brunswick boys can get
wholesome recreation and amusement. Two
years ago a movement was started to establish a
Y. M. C. A. in town but no suitable building could
be secured. Another attempt to organize was
made this fall, but it was found that the building
which it was hoped could be secured could not be
had for another year. When it became evident
that the College intended to make no use of the
old gymnasium this year, the faculty was re-
quested to permit the use of this building for such
a club ; this permission was temporarily granted,
providing that the presence of the boys on the
campus did not prove troublesome. Considerable
interest has been aroused in the town among the
business men, and a committee of seven, ap-
pointed for the purpose, reported in regard to the
organization and management of such a club at
a public meeting some weeks ago. The result
of this report has not yet been officially approved,
however. It is hoped that a considerable sum of
money will be raised for equipment, that a paid
instructor will be engaged to direct the athletic
work each afternoon and that the college men
will cooperate in conducting the club.

"If this plan goes through, college men can
perform a definite unselfish service by helping
Brunswick boys to have the right kind of recrea-
tion and by becoming their friends. The details
regarding the organization of the club and this
hoped for cooperation will be decided later this
month.

"There are numerous objections to such a tem-
porary use of the old gymnasium, but as it would
otherwise remain idle this year, it is hoped that
the student body will be unselfish- and cooperate
in this movement. Furthermore many sincerely
hope that such a use of the old gymnasium this
year will make it possible to use the building in

the future as a social club for the college, where
class meetings, smokers, club meetings, etc., may
be held."

The sum of $400 has been raised already by the
faculty and townspeople. Nearly $200 worth of
gymnasium apparatus has been ordered and the
college is establishing lockers and baths in one
corner of the floor. Frank Smith, 1912, and Ar-
thur Merrill, 1914, will be in charge of the clubs.
The organization is called the Brunswick Boys'
Association and is controlled by a board of di-
rectors,— two members of the faculty, the prin-
cipal of the high school and four prominent men
in town. Nearly 100 boys have indicated their
desire to become members at the rate of 50 cents
each. The plan is to divide the boys into groups
of ten and have college men in charge. Each
group will meet twice a week in the gymnasium
and one other time with its student directors.
Any student who desires to give up one hour a
week is asked to give his name to Arthur Mer-
rill.

A BOWDOIN NIGHT

Last Thursday evening in Memorial Hall a

large number of students gathered for a social
Bowdoin night. The program was started by
singing "Bowdoin Beata." Then Mr. McCon-
aughy introduced James P. Webber '00, professor
of public speaking at Exeter, who furnished the
chief entertainment of the evening. Mr. Web-
ber gave two readings in a very able and inter-
esting manner, the "Christmas Carol" and "Lend
Me Five Shillings," a humorous one-act play.
Following were some selections by the Zeta Psi
orchestra, after which Mr. Webber gave two
more readings, "The Man Who Was" and "Gun-
ga Din," both by Kipling. The evening was
closed by singing "Phi Chi." It was proposed to
hold more of these informal "get-togethers" dur-
ing the winter if this one proved successful, so
there is no doubt but that others will follow.

INTER-CLASS DEBATE FRIDAY

The Freshman-Sophomore debate is to be held
Friday, Jan. 10. The question is, "Resolved,
That the President of the United States should
be elected by direct popular vote." The two teams
selected at recent trials are as follows : Sopho-
mores, Talbot, McKenney, Bacon, and Livingston
alternate ; Freshmen, Edwards, Garland, Say-
ward, and Niven alternate. Douglas '13 will be
the presiding officer. The Sophomores are being
coached by Tuttle '13, while the Freshmen are
being prepared for the struggle by Gage '14.

With the beginning of a new
The New Gymnasium era in Bowdoin athletics

which the opening of the new
gymnasium marks, what better resolution can the
undergraduate make than to carry on every
branch of gymnasium work with enthusiasm. If
each one goes to practice with the determination
to make the most of it, there need be no disquie-
tude about our future athletic records. This
week as we enter the building made possible by
loyalty and generosity to the College, may the
spirit of using it be as true to Bowdoin.

The Orient hopes that the
An Alumni Council letter from Dean Sills '01 in

regard to the formation of an
Alumni Council will bring forth many sugges-
tions from our readers. Any such will be printed

gladly in order that they may be brought to gen-
eral notice before the June meeting. ;

The plan which is being de-
Another Opportunity veloped by Mr. McConaughy

is one which the Orient
urges all undergraduates to support, and in par-
ticular those men who are so situated that they
may work in groups. The strenuous efforts put
forth by those interested in the plan insure the
practicability of the initial part. But the part
which will measure the success is the follow-up-
work, and it is this follow-up work which depends
upon the men now in college.

BOWDOIN PICTURE SHOW READY

The set of Bowdoin slides to illustrate the Col-
lege is practically completed and will be shown
for the first time sometime this week before the j
Massachusetts Club. These slides are over 100
in number, and some of them are colored. The
following men have cooperated in the preparation
of this lecture: Joseph Roberts, secretary of the
New York Alumni Association : John C. Minot,
secretary of the Boston Bowdoin Club, and Dr.
Loomis, Leigh. Monroe and Badger, all '14. A
brief statement explaining the object and use of
these slides has been sent out to all the alumni
teaching in this section of the country and to
about 100 other men.

THE BLANKET TAX AGAIN

Three hundred twenty-two out of three hun-
dred thirty-three men in college have paid the
blanket tax, and become members of the A. S.
B. C. This is 97 per cent, of the men in college.
But, encouraging as the results have been, we
should not assume a self congratulatory attitude,
nor delude ourselves that hereafter the plan will
run itself, and that no further effort is required
on our part to make it a success.

A second semester draws nigh and the second
installment of $7.50 will fall due. The excite-
ment of the football season has passed away, but
loyalty to college activities is still just as neces-
sary. Every man, from Senior to Freshman,
must realize that he is a part of Bowdoin and has
a duty to perform ; that he is personally responsi-
ble for the success or failure of the activities in
which we engage. If we still realize this, the
blanket tax for the second semester will be as
much, if not more, of a success than it was for
the first. Let's make it so.

Chairman Board of Managers.

STUDENT MEETING

Student meeting will be held in the Y. M. C. A.
room Thursday evening, January 9. The speak-
ers will include Frank Smith, a medical student ;
George E. Fogg '02, a Portland lawyer, and one
other, probably a student. These gatherings un-
der the Association auspices are always very
popular and the hall will undoubtedly be filled to
its capacity.

DRAMATIC TRIALS

In the first Dramatic Club trials sixty-six stu-
dents competed. Because of so large a number
it was found necessary to have further trials in
order to get the best men for the different parts.
These second trials were held Monday night at
eight o'clock. The judges were Professors
Brown and Mitchell and Mrs. Arthur Brown, the
coach. The parts will be posted probably some
time today or Wednesday, and the rehearsals will
start soon.

THE CHRISTMAS SMOKER

The Monday night before the Christmas vaca-
tion a smoker was held in Memorial Hall, at
which the football manager for next year, Robert
D. Leigh, was elected and the first ballot for as-
sistant manager was taken. The vote for assist-
ant manager was so close that although Verrill
was the winner by a few votes he did not have
the necessary majority to give him the victory.
This was not found out until later in the evening
when his election was declared null and void by
the Council.

The entertainment that was given to those pres-
ent was first class. Of course the band was there
to give a program which varied from college
songs to popular music. Johnny Dunphy started
the evening with some of his funny stories which
brought down the house in gales of laughter.
Then there was Crowell who read several very
humorous passages. Without a doubt Loring
Pratt was the headliner. He had countless stories
and each encore seemed better than the previous
ones so that he was obliged to respond time after
time. Unlike many monologists he illustrated one
of his selections. "A Modern Melodrama," lately
printed in one of the comic weeklies. The old
mill at midnight; the sealed papers and the bank
were all present while he portrayed the general
demeanor of the characters while giving their
description.

Cider, apples, tobacco and pipes were passed
around during the evening. One of the features
of this part of the performance was the game of
"duck of apple" at which several members of the

Student Council served as the goat.

Cedric Crowell who presided was ably assisted
in making the evening enjoyable by a committee
of three : Lawrence Crosby, chairman ; John
Dunphy and Lawrence Smith.

ALUMNI COUNCIL PROPOSED

To the Editor of the Orient.

My dear Sir : — At the last meeting of the Gen-
eral Alumni Association of the College the fol-
lowing committee was appointed to consider the
desirability of forming an Alumni Council:
Charles T. Hawes '76, John Clair Minot '96, Eu-
gene L. Bodge '97, Kenneth C. M. Sills '01, Wil-
liam E. Lunt '04. In other institutions such
Councils have general oversight of the various
alumni associations, keep the public informed in
regard to the college, keep in touch with under-
graduate activities, and, in general, act as a med-
ium between the alumni, the faculty and the trus-
tees, and as a help to the younger graduates in
getting started in various occupations after
graduation. Our committee has organized with
Mr. Hawes as chairman, and myself as secretary.

I should be very glad to receive any expres-
sions of opinion on this plan, in order to present
them to the committee before next June.

Kenneth C. M. Sills. '01.

plans made for activity during the second semes-
ter.

At the December meeting of the Massachusetts
Club it was decided to hold a reunion in Boston
on Saturday evening, Dec. 21, to which all Bow-

reunion in Boston was a success. Fifteen men
attended the banquet, and the theatre party fol-
lowing. At this meeting also, Professor Files
gave an interesting talk about his student life in
Germany. It was decided to hold the January-
meeting in Hubbard Hall, at which an illustrated
lecture is to be given. A '"smoker," to be held at

las '13, Tufts '13, Walker '13, Wish '13, Leigh
'14, Sylvester '14, P. White '14, D. White '16,
Foster '16.

The dates for the Junior Assemblies have been
set by the committee for February 14 and March
14. It was thought that it would be better to place
the dates for these affairs in the second semester
owing to the rush of work coming in January.

Among the alumni back at the College for a
visit Christmas vacation were "Baldy" Smith '11,
"Bob" Cole '12 and "Pewt" Purington '11.

There were a number of alumni on the campus
to attend the Christmas dances. Among them
were the familiar faces of "Jack" Hurley '12 and
Clyde Chapman '12. Harold Andrews '12 and
Buddv Rodick '12 were on the campus last week
end.

"I didn't know Bowdoin was a coed college," a
stranger was heard to remark at the Maine Cen-
tral station Saturday morning before Christmas
vacation.

No Orient was issued on the Tuesday preced-
ing Christmas vacation on account of the limita-
tion of the number of issues per volume. We
hope it won't happen another year.

The Monday Night Club held a meeting last
night.

Fencing practice started yesterday. More can-
didates are wanted. The practice is held in the
fencing room of the new gymnasium.

The advantages of a college built on a swamp
were evident last week.

Freeport High School.

According to new regulations made by the
Orient Board the names of department editors
are placed in the printed list on the editorial page
opposite the department names.

Wing '14 taught mathematics at Morse High
for a few days before Christmas vacation.

A double quartette from the Bowdoin Glee
Club sang at the Brunswick Old People's Home
just before Christmas. Presents of tobacco were
given to the men and shawls and aprons were
given to the women. A part of the Chapel
Christmas collection went for this purpose.

Statements concerning the work of the Bow-
doin Y. M. C. A. have been sent to nearly 100 dif-

ferent newspapers and were generally used.

Lee Mikelsky has left for ■ Houston, Texas,
there to engage in commercial business, but
Brother Ira is here with a sheaf of New Year
bills for tardy Beau Brummels.

Dorando Pietri, who almost won the Marathon
in the 1908 Olympic games was on the campus
during Christmas vacation, when he filed an ap-
plication for the position of track coach.

THE SECOND INSTALLMENT

The attention of the students is called to the
facts concerning the second installment of the
Blanket Tax and the rules regarding the same.

"The annual assessment shall be fifteen dollars,
collectible in two installments of seven dollars
and a half each. The dates of payment, for each
installment, are the first three days of each sem-
ester. Those students who do not pay on these
dates shall forfeit their right to membership in
the A. S. B. C. for the ensuing semester, unless
special arrangement shall be granted by the
Board of Managers." The first three days of
next semester are Feb. io, n, 12.

Membership in the A. S. B. C. means admission
to the home baseball games and possibly track
meets ; it means free subscribtion to Orient and
Quill; it means the privilege of holding office in
the organizations composing the Association ; it
means the voting privilege in all elections under
the auspices of the A. S. B. C. : it means the right
of representing the organizations supported by
the A. S. B. C. in intercollegiate contests.

Unless the assessment is paid on the above
dates and unless good and sufficient reason is
given to the Board of Managers before the expi-
ration of this three-day period, the student will
for the semester be barred from any of the above
privileges.

Last fall the Board excused a number of stu-
dents for considerable lengths of time on the
reason of the ignorance of the operation of the
three-day rule and this was justified on the
grounds of insufficient advertisement of the plan
of the blanket tax. But it is absolutely necessary
for the successful operation of the tax system
that this three-days rule be applied and the
Board is now obliged in fairness to all to apply
the rule more strictly and to grant an extension
of time only in extreme cases.

Last fall the men who did not pay up in the al-
loted time did not justify the extension of time
being granted again. The very successful opera-
tion of the system thus far has shown that the
whole student body is able to pay on the three
alloted dates.

Do not forget your $7.50 February 10.

"Alt Heidelberg" is a very well known German
play and has been studied in the College German
courses. It is a good college play, dealing with
Heidelberg life, and having a large preponder-
ance of male parts. The first rehearsal was held
last week, and others are scheduled for regular
hours this week and following.

THE SENIOR SMOKER

At the Senior Smoker held in Massachusetts
Hall last Tuesday evening, Mr. Oliver F. Cutts
of New York gave one of the finest talks heard
here for some time. The famous Harvard and
All-American tackle showed that he is as high-
powered intellectually as he is physically, and
that he can hold an audience as well as he used to
hold the best opposing rushes in his football days.
Mr. Cutts is a big man and he is doing a big
work. He is engaged in organizing college grad-
uates for public spirited and efficient work, and
in his talk "How College Graduates Can Serve
the Community," every word of which was closely
listened to, he pointed out that by devoting some
of his spare time to forwarding the movement for
cleaner politics, settlement work, charitable work,
boys' club work, and other activities of that na-
ture, the college man is performing a duty truly
his as the possessor of a broad and liberal educa-
tion. In thus bettering the community, too, he
finds that natural outlet for the things he has
stored up, which is so essential to making his own
life well-rounded and complete.

After the talk, there was an opportunity to
meet the speaker personally.

FENCING SQUAD SMALL

While it is to be regretted that all of last year's
Fencing team was lost by graduation, the pros-
pects of a successful team for the coming season
are very bright. The most likely candidates are :
1913, Pike. Dunphy, Shackford, Wish; 1914, Pay-
son, Pope; 191 5, Floyd, Porritt, Woodbury, Per-
kins. Faulkner. Other candidates are: 1916,
Lord, Irving, Greeley, Hamlin, Hawes, Hale,
Proctor. Foster.

This is a poor showing as compared with the
number of candidates last year, and it is hoped
that a larger number of men will come out and
trv for the team.

THE STUDENT CONFERENCE

The program for the fourth state student con-
ference which meets here February 28 and March
1 and 2 has been practically completed and will be
sent to all the colleges and preparatory schools
of the state. The delegations from the prepara-
tory schools will be limited. Over 100 delegates
from out of town will be expected. It is hoped
to secure entertainment for one-half of these in
the college buildings and the other half in the
town. The principal speakers will be : Robert
E. Speer of New York, secretary of the Presby-
terian Board of Missions, one of the most popular
college speakers in the country; Harrison Elliott
of New York, a Bible study secretary of the Na-
tional Y. M. C. A. ; Arthur Howe, captain of the
Yale football team of 1912, who is now associated
with David R. Porter, 1906, in preparatory school
Y. M. C. A. work; Henry H. King of Boston,
state secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for Massachu-
setts; Daniel Chase, a graduate of the University
of Maine, and now director of athletics at Hamil-
ton College ; and President Hyde. Features of
the program will be the opening session Friday
evening in the church, followed by a reception
given by the Bowdoin Y. M. C. A. to the visiting
delegates, conference sessions on Saturday on
methods of Y. M. C. A. work, an address by Pres-
ident Hyde, faculty conference Saturday after-
noon, address Saturday evening by Mr. Elliott,
and three addresses Sunday by Dr. Speer. Three
committees have been appointed by the Y. M.
C. A. to prepare for this conference as follows :
Entertainment: C. Brown '14, chairman, A. Mac-
Cormick '15, sub-chairman; reception: R. Leigh
'14, chairman, G. McWilliams, sub-chairman;
attendance : A. Gray '14, chairman, A. Sweet '13,
sub-chairman.

SECOND STUDENT MEETING

The second student meeting under the auspices
of the Y. M. C. A. was held last Thursday even-
ing. The program opened with some selections
on the orchestrelle, played by Professor Wass,
showing- the remarkable range and tone of the
instrument.

The first of the three speakers of the evening
was Crowell '13 who briefly discussed Bowdoin
Spirit. He said that while our expressed spirit
was very excellent as far as it went, it did not go
far enough. As an example of this he cited the
lack of interest in singing, which considering the
rewards offered for its encouragement, seems un-
justifiable.

Frank Smith Medic '15 spoke a few words in
explanation of the proposed Brunswick Boys'

BOWDOIN ORIENT

179

Club, which he thought would be of value not
only to the boys themselves but to the men of the
college who will help in its work.

The chief speaker of the evening was George
E. Fogg '02, whom Crowell introduced as being
best known to us as the author of "Glasses
Clinking High." Mr. Fogg, whose subject was
"If I were back in College," compared our prep-
aration for life to the preparation for a football
schedule. We employ a graduate coach to train
our football team, and, similarly, should not be
unwilling to accept the advice of graduates who
have had experience. The first care of a coach
is to look over the schedule and find out when
and where the games are to be played. In the
same way, a college man ought to size up the
game of life and find out when and where he will
be called upon to play it. Just as the coach has
to find out what kind of material he has, so we
have to find out what there is in us, and then
train for the position for which we are fitted.
The right man in the right place is sure to make
good ; but nobody ought to attempt to enter a
profession for which he is not fitted. When a
man has found the right place and the game is
started, he must hit the line hard, follow the
ball, and be there when it drops ; in other words
to work for all there is in him. Do not be dis-
couraged, said he, if honors do not come quickly
or easily, for the man who sticks through thick
and thin is the man who eventually wins out.

Lastly come the Don'ts : don't overtrain and
go stale ; don't be a prig or a bookworm ; don't
forget that you may learn as much from the men
with whom you live as from books.

INTERCLASS DEBATE— JAN. 10
The decision for the affirmative team ended the
tie in the Freshman- Sophomore competition in
favor of the "Freshies" — honors in baseball and
football being evenly divided.

The debate was a good one : an interesting-
question handled with no little spirit by both
teams. The affirmative side contended that the
President of the United States should be elected
by a direct popular vote. They pointed out that
under the present system the minority loses all
representation ; that there was a great temptation
to fraud and bribery ; and that there was an in-
equality in the value of the individual vote be-
cause of the two electors at large.

In opposition to this plan the negative upheld
the "proportional" system, arguing that it would
remedy the faults of the present system without
the loss of state rights which would occur under
the direct popular method.

In rebuttal the negative pointed their attack
at the complications which would arise under the
proposed system and at the loss of state rights.

The affirmative showed these objections to be
trivial in view of the greater issues at stake;
that since their big argument — the inequality in
value of the individual vote — had not been ans-
wered in any way, and since their plan remedied
all existing faults in the present system, then the
proposed popular plan should be adopted.

The judges, Professors Herbert C. Bell, War-
ren B. Catlin and Orren C. Hormell, cast their
ballot without consultation.

Affirmative 1916. Negative 1915.

PHI CHI INITIATION

The annual initiation and banquet of the
Gamma Gamma Chapter of the Phi Chi Society
of the Medical School of Maine, was held in
Portland, Saturday afternoon and evening, Jan.
nth. Four new members, from the Class of 1916
of the Medical School, were initiated in Red
Men's Hall, preceding the banquet at the Con-
gress Square Hotel. These were Paul K. Holmes,
Bryant E. Moulton, Alfred L. Maclntire and
Nessib S. Kupelian.

Harry D. McNeil of Bangor acted as toastmas-
ter, and introduced Dr. John L. Morse of Boston
who read a very instructing and interesting paper
on Diabetus Mellitus in Infancy and Childhood.

LECTURE ON HIW ALE'S WORK

Hiwale '09, Bowdoin's missionary, like most
sons of Bowdoin, is "making good" with a ven-
geance in his work. He has been appointed to
succeed Dr. Lee, one of the most noted mission-
aries in India, and is located at Latarce, 80 miles
south of Bombay. His parish has a greater pop-
ulation than Maine and he is the sole missionary
in this district. Hiwale is working in conjunc-
tion with the chain of missions conducted by Dr.
Hume, who was here as a college preacher in
1910. An illustrated lecture concerning Hiwale's
work will be given January 23, by Enoch Bell,
of the Board of Foreign Missions. Mr. Bell is
an eloquent speaker and dealing with a subject
so closely related to all Bowdoin men, should be
greeted by a large audience.

A poll of twenty-eight shows that the position
of half back claims the greatest number of foot-
ball captains. Tackle, fullback and quarterback
come next, and four captains play end.

Although the beginning of
The Blanket Tax the second semester seems at

a distance when viewed
through the haze of final examinations, it is a
time which will soon be at hand, bringing with it

a crisis in undergraduate self-government. Then
will be decided the question as to whether the
College is to stand loyally behind the blanket tax
plan by paying the second installment needed to
carry on the spring sports. It is then that ideals
of Bowdoin Spirit must be translated into hard
cash if the carefully planned system of financing
undergraduate activities is to succeed. Let every-
one be thinking upon these things to the end that
when the time comes, he may translate promptly.

THE OCTOBER QUILL

A conscientious and critical editing may take
such credit as editors are permitted for the ex-
cellent quality of the October Quill; but it is
probable that the financial stress which threatens
many college literary periodicals and has already
killed those splendid veterans, the Dartmouth
Lit and the Trinity Tablet, must be blamed for
the unusually thin table of contents.

The opening number of this issue, "The Piano
Man" by K. A. Robinson, has the cheerful attri-
bute of being a "good story," although with the
small boy as deus ex machina the plot is not elab-
orate. The writer handles his nervous bright
paragraphs with an almost professional and prac-
tised fluency. With its impecunious suitor, its.
seven pages (solid) of luxurious setting for The
Girl who has all and leaves all with equal com-
placency, the tale is a good example, in little, of
the best-seller variety that aims to please the
passing moment. And the moment has need of
its kind, we must admit. Most of the stories of
this class lack, however, the compelling virility
of the late O. Henry and Arnold Bennett who
have the dash and daring of the twentieth cen-
tury at its cleverest.

The writer of our story has achieved an easy
and pleasing style in a chosen line: but in order
really to write, it is necessary to try many themes
and some serious ones. One of the best of the
Atlantic Monthly's recent problem-stories, Mrs.
Comer's "The Preliminaries," is a remarkable in-
stance of the power of fiction in short story form
to interpret life with true philosophic insight.

Some hastily composed sentences in "The
Piano Man," like the one on page 154, "The idea
of * * * getting along on what he knew that he
would have to * * *," are awkward; and the use
of "though" as a transitional particle is a curi-
ously recurring mannerism. The sentence de-
scriptive of the theme of Chopin's Polonaise in A
Major is startling in cumulative exuberance but
it shows well the writer's subjectively responsive
attitude to music. "It pulsates" detracts from
the characterization in the succeeding line on
page 166.

A good example of what is sometimes called
"thoughtful" poetry is "Alchemy," by Edward H.
Blake 'yj. It has a flavor of Emily Dickinson's
little rhymed lessons without, however, their
epigrammatic force.

The essay on "Edward Grieg: Romanticist," by

BOWDOIN ORIENT

W. F. Twombly, is interesting as a careful study
of tendencies and as an endeavor after a stand-
ard of criticism that shall unify in our thought
all the arts. It is a descriptive sketch rather than
a critical one but perhaps that fact commends it
to the unmusical reader. There is a lack of clear-
ness, indeed a positive ambiguity in the statement
of the "reactive tendency," on pages 170-1. And
•one word which is better than "picturesqueness"
or subjectivity — to sum the Romantic movements,
and includes both — is caprice or waywardness.
Awkward phrasings occur in such sentences as
"An influence which he was never able to separ-
ate himself from" and "he was able to express
emotions which were utterly incapable of ex-
pression by them;" both could be obviously com-
pressed. The quotations introduced in support
•of the author's statements are unnecessary; for
the writer's musical sensibilities have made it
possible for him to assimilate his readings in the
authors quoted and he has given us the legitimate
reaction. In a work of research source-quota-
tions are obligatory ; in certain essays they add
beauty and force ; in a purely supplementary re-
stating of the writer's thought as here they have
a peculiarly bold and unpleasing effect. We
could wish for some account, moreover, of the
vagaries of Peer Gynt to illustrate the composer's
•daring romanticism.

"The Girl with the Patient Eyes," by R. P.
Coffin, gets material for a prose idyll in that
Maine coast which has never been made to yield
all its poetry, despite Mrs. Stowe's appreciative
prose and Miss Jewett's loving portrayal of its
pine-fringed shores. This little Quill sketch is a
well conceived glorification of the Immediate
Duty; it has some crudity of expression resulting
from its very determination to make vivid the in-
teraction of the winds and waves and the baffled
human longing. It suggests the possibility of
more ambitious literary work in this rich field.

The Postman's all too brief review is criticism
free from triteness, direct, and above all self-re-
vealing. It shows the writer's interests, — some
of them; one sort of phrase, "positively painful,"
is unpleasantly manneristic. The commentary on
Wilde's critic leaves us curious to read that critic
and determine if his lack be not more hopeless
than "lack of reading."

M. C. H.

for the first time this fall were initiated: C. O.
Page '13, L. T. Brown '14, H. H. Foster '16, J. E.
Barry '16, G. W. Leadbetter '16. R. D. Leigh,
manager, was also initiated. Captain Weatherill
was elected president of the club and Leo Pratt
'14 was chosen secretary. After the business
meeting matters of football interest were dis-
cussed, such as the schedule, coaching system,
etc. Refreshments were served.

The Y. M. C. A. Cabinet held a business meet-
ing in the Association room last Thursday even-
ing. Plans for the meeting of the State Student
Conference, Feb. 28, were discussed and com-
mittees appointed to have charge of the various
features of entertainment.

At the second meeting of the Lincoln County
Club, held at the D. K. E. House, Thursday even-
ing, Jan. 9, Dean Sills was the guest and he dis-
cussed topics bearing upon prospective students
of the College.

At the last meeting of the Deutscher Verein
the following officers were elected : Vorsitzender,
D. H. McMurtrie '13; Shiftwart, J. A. Norton
'13; Kassenwart, J. Schwey '14. The Verein will
hold a meeting Thursday evening at Professor
Ham's home.

At a meeting of the Quill Board held recently,
K. A. Robinson '14 was elected editor-in-chief.
L. H. Gibson '14 and R. P. Coffin '15 were elected
to the Board. These two, with the editor-in-
chief, form the Board proper. In conjunction
with the Bowdoin Publishing Co. the Board has
decided to have the Quill printed by the Bruns-
wick Record. The old debt to the former printers
is to be paid by a loan that the Quill will raise.
Besides being more convenient, the Brunswick
printers will give better quality type and paper.

At a meeting of the Athletic Council held last
Saturday evening in the New Gymnasium Floyd
'15 and Porritt '15 were nominated for Tennis
manager. Track and baseball matters were dis-
cussed also.

At the Massachusetts Club meeting last Satur-
day evening Professor McConaughy exhibited
his set of 120 lantern slides in the Chemistry
Lecture room. Following the illustrated lecture
the club adjourned to the Alpha Delta Phi House
for a social hour.

OLlufj ano Council Meetings

The Monday Night Club held its first meeting
of the year last week at the Alpha Delta Phi
House. The following men who made their "B"

"Swifty" Genthner '11 was on the campus a
few days last week.

The College preacher for Tanuarv 26 will be
Henry Van Dyke, D.D., LL.D.

According to present plans the new Gymnas-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

ium will be dedicated on the Wednesday of Com-
mencement week.

Bragdon '12 has left his position as instructor
at Mercersburg Academy and will be employed
in the office of the College Treasurer.

Owing to unavoidable circumstances the Class
of 1868 Prize Speaking scheduled for Thursday,
January 16. has been postponed indefinitely.

When a recent visitor to the new Gym declared
the flying rings impracticable, Dr. Whittier quick-
ly answered his criticism by stripping off his coat
and going back and forth on the rings.

At the enrollment of members of the Bruns-
wick Boys' Association in the old Gym Saturday
morning, 89 boys became members. A plan of
organization for the club is now under way.

The Stewards' Club met recently and made
some plans that will benefit all their clubs. The
idea is to appoint some experienced man, prefer-
ably a grocer in Brunswick, who will buy provi-
sions for the- stewards and furnish them as each
orders. Gray '14, Hayes '14, and Chase '14 were
appointed as a committee to make further plans.

The fire at the College coal shed, after smoul-
dering since its outbreak December 30, started
out afresh on the morning of January 10. The
fire started in bin No. 3, and all the coal was
shovelled out of that bin, but it was found that
the fire had spread into bin No. 4. A crew of
men has been at work emptying No. 4 in an effort
to keep the flames from spreading to No. 5. In
all, the bins contain about 1000 tons of soft coal.

A Y. M. C. A. Deputation, consisting of Doug-
las '13, Leigh '14 and MacCormick '15 will go to
Bath Sunday. This is the second deputation the
Y. M. C. A. has sent out this year and it will
also send deputations to Rockland, Camden, Dam-
ariscotta. and Conway, N. H. Six very success-
ful trips were taken last year and more will prob-
ably be taken this year for deputation work.
There are now about twelve men in the college
ready to go out on deputation work for the Y. M.
C. A. The work has been very successful. The
aim is to create an interest in the Y. M. C. A.
and its principles among "prep" school boys.

High Schools on problems in high school teach-
ing. Wednesday evenings, he will conduct a
course for the Sunday school teachers of Water-
ville and vicinity on problems of Sunday school
teaching.

C&e m&rarp Cable

There are current many interesting articles
concerning our institutions of learning. Pre-
eminent is the "Rhodes Scholar" by D. C. Har-
vey, in the December University Magazine,
treating of the life of the Rhodes scholars at Ox-
ford, their influence on the undergraduates there
and explaining why Rhodes scholars often seem
to fall below what is expected of them. The
"Socialization of the College" by Professor Wal-
ter Libby in the Popular Science Monthly for
January, shows evidence of a practical mind with
a comprehensive grasp of the modern purpose of
education. Edward Breds comes forth in the
Outing for December with another chapter on
"Fencing in America."

Mr. Ellis Spear, Jr. '98 has presented the Li-
brary with a little pamphlet, which once belonged
to General Know, entitled "A Description of the
Situation, Climate, Soil and Productions, etc., of
the District of Maine and Commonwealth of
Massachusetts," and apparently is an early at-
tempt at real estate promoting and publicity.

Other notable accessions are "Reminiscences
of John Greenleaf Whittier's Life at Oak Knoll,
Danvers," by his cousin, Mrs. Abbey J. Wood-
man, and "The Garland of Delight," a work by a
series of prominent writers, with the prologue
by Kate Douglas Wiggin. Probably the most im-
portant addition is that of thirty or forty vol-

umes to the Annual Register, a review of public
events at home and abroad, and a valuable source
of contemporary history. The Library now pos-
sesses all the volumes of this extensive work,
which has been published annually . since 1758,
with the exception of those from 1891 to 1908.

alumni Department

Among the Bowdoin alumni in the Maine Leg-
islature now in session are the following : Harry
B. Austin '87, H. M. Moulton '87, Tabor D. Bai-
ley "96, Francis Peaks '96, Reuel W. Smith '97,
Frank L. Dutton '99, Roy L. Marston '99, Charles
P. Conners '03, Aaron A. Putnam '06, and the
Speaker of the House, John A. Peters '85.

'52. — Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain, the famous
graduate and former president of the College,
was the subject of an article appearing recently
in the Atlantic Monthly. Gen. Chamberlain is
also the author of a most interesting article on
some of the battles of the Civil War. This ap-
peared in the latest Cosmopolitan.

'83. — Fred Morrow Fling, Ph.D., professor of
European history in the University of Nebraska,
has just delivered a course of lectures at Yale on
the French revolution.

Professor Fling graduated from Portland High
School in 1879 and worked his way through Bow-
doin. Ambitious for a higher education, he went
to Germany and won the degree of Ph.D. in the
University of Leipzig. After his return to the
United States, he married Miss Helene Dresser,
a Wellesley College alumna.

He was elected to the chair of European his-
tory in the University of Nebraska in 1888 and
still occupies that important position. He is wide-
ly known in the lecture field and his "Mirabeau
and the French Revolution" in three volumes oc-
cupies a place in the historical department of

every large library in this country and in the Old
World.

'90. — George Brinton Chandler, a member of
the Connecticut Legislature, has been appointed
to the industrial commission created by Congress
to investigate the relations between labor and
capital. While in college he was an editor of the
Orient, and he graduated with honors in English
composition and oratory. For the last six years
he has had public work in Connecticut, and he is
well fitted for the position to which he has been
appointed.

'91. — Prof, and Mrs. Harry DeForest Smith,
and daughter have returned to this country after
an interesting trip abroad. Prof. Smith had to
shorten his stay in Greece on account of incon-
veniences caused by the war. He was sent by
Amherst College where he is now located, to
study the modern Greek language, customs, etc.,
and was in Athens when war was declared. Let-
ters received from him indicate that the excite-
ment there was much greater than the censored
press dispatches would lead us to believe. The
finest residences of the city are given over to the
soldiers who are going to the front, and business
has been demoralized by the lack of steamers, all
possible boats being used to transport soldiers.
Prof. Smith has been located at Amherst since
1901.

'97. — M. Sumner Coggan, a prominent lawyer
in Boston, was recently elected representative to
the Massachusetts Legislature from Maiden,
Mass., in the face of a Roosevelt majority in
that city of over 1,000 votes. Mr. Coggan grad-
uated from Boston University Law School after
he had finished his course here.

'01. — George L. Lewis, the son of Mrs. G.
Lewis of Maine Street, is engaged to be married
to Miss Frances F. Bell of Granby, Mass. Mr.
Lewis is the librarian of the Athenaeum at West-
field, Mass., having held that position since 1907.
Mr. Lewis is the brother of Mr. Hugh M. Lewis,
the assistant in the Bowdoin Library.

'06. — A son was born to Mrs. Robert T. Wood-
ruff of Lynn, Mass., on December 5th. His name
is Robert Thomas Woodruff, Jr. Mr. Wqodruff,
Senior, since graduation has been in the legal
profession at Lynn, after spending a short time
with the International Banking Company in Lon-
don, and taking a law course at Harvard Law
School.

'11. — Mrs. Edward T. Little announces the en-
gagement of her daughter, Miss Frances Little,
to Lawrence Davis of New York City. Mr.
Davis now has a fine position with the Ameri-
can Book Companv in their New York branch.

STUDENT ELECTION

Tomorrow noon from I :oo to I :30 p. m. in Me-
morial Hall will be held the election of a fencing
manager for this year. The candidates are Gor-
don P. Floyd '15 and Philip W. Porritt '15. There
will be no formal meeting at that time but the
polls will be open for the half hour at which time
the ballots may be cast. The Student Council
will have charge of the election.

1913 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

At a meeting yesterday afternoon the Faculty
approved the football schedule for next fall. The
teams were chosen according to the well estab-
lished schedule policy of meeting the colleges in
New England of Bowdoin's scholastic standing
and size. There were this year, as always, a
number of the bigger college teams who desired
games in the early part of the season, but these
were refused. The teams played next fall are
the same as those which this year's team met but
the order of games is changed. The Trinity
game is in Portland this year as also the Tufts
game and the Vermont game is in Manchester.
The schedule follows :

Sept. 27 — Ft. McKinley at Brunswick.

Oct. 4 — Wesleyan at Middletown.

Oct. 1 1 — Trinity at Portland.

Oct. 18 — Vermont at Manchester.

Oct. 25 — Colby at Waterville.

Nov. 1 — Bates at Lewiston.

Nov. 8 — Maine at Brunswick.

Nov. 15 — Tufts at Portland.

Asst. Manager MacDonald has arranged a sec-
ond team game with Hebron for Oct. 4.

NEW BASEBALL COACH

Manager Callahan announces that the contract
has been signed with Mr. Daniel M. Coogan to
coach the Bowdoin baseball team this spring.

Coogan is a veteran baseball coach and player.
For the past seven years he has coached Cornell
and developed some of the best college teams in
this section of the country. His resignation at
that institution was caused by the securing of a
coach for both baseball and football, with the
purpose of strengthening the football situation.
Before coaching at Cornell, Coogan also coached

the Columbia baseball team. He attended the
University of Pennsylvania where he played on
the varsity team for three years and was captain
his senior year. During his last year there he
was considered by many the best college catcher
in the country. After leaving college he played
in the Tri-State League and later on the Wash-
ington team in the American League. Since his
active playing career he has been connected with
several professional teams in the capacity of
manager. Mr. Coogan is about forty years old,
weighs 117 pounds, is an Irishman by birth and
speech and is married. .,

The management is very lucky in securing a
man with such wide experience in league and
college ball and one who is familiar with the
problems of the college coach.

With the new gymnasium for winter practice,
the material now in sight and the new coach,
prospects are exceedingly bright for a champion-
ship team. It will be noticed that Mr. Coogan is
a catcher and will be especially fitted to develop
battery men, a point where our team seems likely
to be weakest this year.

BASEBALL SCHEDULE

The following schedule was submitted by Mgr.
F. X. Callahan to the faculty and the Athletic
Council and was accepted. There remain two
dates pending. The team will play three games
here, the remainder to be played away :

April 16 — Brown at Providence.

April 17 — R. I. State at Kingston.

April 18 — Wesleyan at Middletown.

April 19 — Trinity at Hartford.

April 22 — Harvard at Cambridge.

April 23 — Andover at Andover.

April 26 — Maine Centrals at Portland.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

THE POLAR BEAR AND BOWDOIN

One of the most unique and original sugges-
tions made on the campus for some time was the
motion of Doctor Whittier at the last Athletic
Council meeting that the polar bear be adopted
as Bowdoin's official mascot. The suggestion was
unanimously adopted by that body and will, no
doubt, receive the official sanction of the Student
Council, faculty and all other powers that be.
While this stamping of the College seal on the
Arctic animal gives him only official residence at
Bowdoin there is no doubt but that he will in the
course of time become the accepted and tradi-
tional mascot of all Bowdoin affairs and rank
with Princeton's tiger and the Yale bull dog. Dr.
Copeland of the Athletic Council has been ap-
pointed to make a biological investigation of Mr.
Bruin and report any irregularities of descent or
habit which may unfit him for the position. A
song celebrating the new mascot is now in order.

The significance of the choice is apparent to
Bowdoin men. Of course the color is in harmony
with the Bowdoin white. Then, too, the rather
northerly position of Bowdoin as a college makes
the selection a fitting one. But the prime reason
for the choice is the special significance of Bow-
doin in the exploration at the polar regions and
is a tribute to Hubbard '57, Peary 'jy and McMil-
lan '97, who made the North Pole expedition and
discovery possible. It is hoped that a healthy
specimen of our adopted mascot may be procured
for the new trophy room.

INTERSCHOLASTIC INDOOR CARNIVAL

The Athletic Council, at its last meeting, voted
to have an indoor interscholastic track meet and
relay carnival on or about March 15 under the
auspices and direction of the gymnasium man-
agement. It is probable that all the schools in the
state who have been represented in the annual
Bowdoin invitation outdoor track meet will be
invited' to send teams to compete in this meet.
This will be the first indoor track meet to be held
in the new building. Crowell '13, manager of last
year's track team, will probably have the affair
in charge.

B. A. A. RELAY

The Bowdoin relay team will race the Univer-
sity of Maine team at the B. A. A. meet at Bos-
ton Feb. 8. It was said at first that this race was
not considered favorably by the Bowdoin man-
agement, as it was thought better for Bowdoin to
further her athletic relations with colleges out of
the state.

With the exception of Cole, who graduated last
June, the B. A. A. relay team of last year is left
in college. Haskell, Tuttle and Skolfield are the
three who ran last year. The distance run by
each man is 390 yards. Nearly 40 men are out
for the team, and with so much good material, it
is thought that Bowdoin will turn out an excep-
tionally strong quartet to race the Orono team.

DEBATING COUNCIL BANQUET

A debating council banquet will be held this
evening at eight o'clock at Hotel Eagle. Doug-
las '13 will be toastmaster and Professor Henry
L. Chapman will be the guest of honor. Debat-
ing plans for the coming season will be discussed.

LECTURE THURSDAY

Enoch Bell, a Yale graduate and former mis-
sionary in Japan will speak at Memorial Hall at
7:30 Thursday evening. Mr. Bell, at present Sec-
retary of the Board of Foreign Missions, will
have as his subject "America in the Far East,"
and will describe the work of Hiwale '09. This
subject will be interesting to every man in Col-
lege because there he can learn about the work of
Hiwale, the Bowdoin missionary, from one who
really knows.

TRIANGULAR LEAGUE DEBATES

Bowdoin will debate Hamilton and Wesleyan
this year. The subject to be discussed will be:
Resolved, that the high cost of living would be
materially reduced by a tariff for revenue only.
The date for the intercollegiate debate is not defi-
nitely settled as yet, but will probably be April 10.
The manner of choosing the varsity teams will
be the same as last year, and the trials for the
Bradbury debate will be held Thursday, Feb. 13,
in Memorial Hall. There is a splendid opportun-
ity to make the teams, and it is hoped that Bow-
doin spirit will manifest itself properly in this
important activity.

IN THE GYMNASIUM

Since the installation of the net, baseball prac-
tice is settling down to routine. Banks have
been built on the corners of the running track.
It is promised that the football goal posts will be
installed in a few days. The football squad is at
present working out forward passes and simple
plays.

Mr. Holmes started his voluntary class in
heavy gymnastics last Saturday afternoon.
Twenty men reported. The hours for this class
are from 4:30 to 5:30 every Saturday afternoon.

Council now has the matter in charge. There will
also be a committee in each class to take charge
of the work. The songs have not yet been decid-
ed upon but are now under consideration. There
will be a rehearsal of the senior class in Memo-
rial Hall, Feb. 10.

THE BOYS ASSOCIATION

The Brunswick Boys' Association has organ-
ized and started regular meetings. Classes are
held in the old gym from 4 130 to 5 130 every af-
ternoon and on Saturday at 10 :30 a. m., with
Frank Smith '12 and Badger '14 as leaders. The
ninety boys now enrolled will be divided into
groups of ten each. Each group will have a so-
cial meeting- once a week besides the two meet-

ings in the classes. A leader will be chosen from
among the boys of each group. The leaders will
form a council. Three college men as directors
or advisers for each group will help the boys in
any way possible. The Boys' Association will be
a great opportunity for the boys and their student
directors. Any student interested in the work as
director will report to Merrill '14.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

President Hyde spoke in Chapel Sunday con-
cerning those "who hath overcome." He said in
part : "In the trophy room of our new gymnas-
ium we have names and pictures of men 'who
hath overcome.' Not those who have merely
come and gone but those who have sought and
achieved supremacy, and have become 'pillars' of
Bowdoin's reputation. At the convention of the
New England colleges this fall it was proposed
to place in the college catalogues besides the
names of those who merely come and go the
names of those who have overcome, who have
conquered in various branches of college work.
It is the duty of every college undergraduate to
make of himself one of those 'who hath over-

Although it is stated by the
Pay, Pay. Pay! Board of Managers that the

dates for payment of the
Blanket Tax are the first three days after the
opening of the second semester, it is entirely al-
lowable to pay the money in advance of this time.
It will simplify the work of the collectors by min-
imizing the last minute rush and will help to as-
sure the success' of the system in this critical
stage of its operation. If you have the money,
remember that we are sure only of the present,
pay the tax, and go your way rejoicing.

With all the advantages for
On Guard ! practice offered by the new

Gymnasium, there is no rea-
son why the fencing squad may not have the fin-
est opportunity which could be desired. Yet the

number of men who have thus far reported indi-
cates that too little attention is being devoted to
this branch of sport. Many seasons of thorough
training are required to develop a team which
can succeed against its rivals from the larger
colleges, even under the favorable conditions of
the present. There are plenty of undergraduates
who have the time to spare for fencing and the
ability to make good. To these may there be
added the inclination !

COLLEGE PREACHER SUNDAY

The College preacher next Sunday will be
Henry Van Dyke, D.D., L.L.D., the professor of
English Literature at Princeton University. Dr.
Van Dyke is an author and a lecturer of wide re-
pute and the opportunity to hear him will, no
doubt, be taken advantage of by all.

OLlutJ anD Council Meetings

A meeting of the Student Council was held
last Thursday evening in the Deutscher Verein
room. It was decided to hold the next college
smoker Feb. 17. It is planned to make this both
a business meeting and good fellowship gather-
ing. The usual rally committee has the affair in
charge.

The committee on the plan for regulation of
undergraduate activities reported two schemes.
One is the arrangement of activities into majors
and minors and a regulation as to the number
of majors and minors one student may have in
one collegiate year. The other system is a regu-
lation according to hours required for each activ-
ity. The former scheme seemed to meet with
most favor and was discussed in detail. The
report was, however, not finally adopted but will
be discussed more thoroughly and acted upon at
a meeting to be held this week. The plan, if
adopted, will probably come up before the stu-
dent body for a vote at the February smoker.

The Athletic Council held a meeting recently
at which the football schedule was adopted. A
plan submitted by Manager Donahue for the elec-
tion of temporary tennis captain was approved
also. The plan is for the eight best men in last
fall's tournament to meet and chose one of their
number for the position. Estimates of receipts
and expenditures for football, baseball and track
were also approved.

The Gibbons Club held a meeting at the Delta
Kappa Epsilon House last Tuesday evening.
Father St. Martin gave a short talk.

The Deutscher Verein held its second meeting

BOWDOIN ORIENT

last Thursday at the home of Professor Ham.
Professor Files gave a talk on commercial life
in Germany. Following this there was a discus-
sion of plans for the year and a social hour.

A special meeting of the Ibis will be held at
the Zeta Psi House January 24. Professor Ham
will speak on German Municipal Government.
There will be an open meeting during the winter,
announcement of which will be made later.

2)n tije Campus

The Delta Kappa Epsilon House party will be
held Feb. 21.

Alfred Newcombe '14 has returned to College
after a week's illness.

Paul Emery '13 is for the third year messen-
ger in the York County Court.

Winter '16 has been serving as Postmaster at
Kingfield during the sickness of his father.

Church '16 intends to leave College at the end
of this semester, but he expects to return at the
beginning of the second semester next year.

The blanket tax will be collected at the new
manager's room on the first floor of the gymnas-
ium. The office hours will be announced later.

Mr. Gilbert Wheeler spoke on "Trap Shooting"
last Monday evening in the Delta Kappa Epsilon
House, before students interested in forming a
gun club.

Dean Sills and Professor Files will give the
final examinations in their courses early this
semester, as both are to be on leave of absence
next semester.

Programs have been sent out to the different
colleges and preparatory schools in Maine for the
Student Conference to be held here at Bowdoin
on the twenty-eighth of February.

The annual indoor meet is to be held Monday,
March. 24. The usual Friday date comes this
year on Good Friday. The events will all be
held in the Hyde Athletic Building.

The Quill management announces that alumni
subscribing for the Quill before February I will
receive the last three numbers of the last volume
and that the new subscriptions will begin with
the present volume.

The Class of 1868 Speaking contest is to be
held on Tuesday, the eleventh of February. The

Crosby, C. R. Crowell, P. H. Douglas, A. H.
Sweet and F .D. Wish, Jr.

The fifth rehearsal of the Masque and Gown
Club will be held next Thursday evening. Re-
hearsals have been held regularly since the as-
signment of the parts, and everything points to a
successful production of the play.

A large number of students saw Harrington
Reynolds in an excellent presentation of "The
Angelus" at the Cumberland last Tuesday night.
During the week of Feb. 10 a stock company will
be at the Cumberland and after that "Get-Rich-
Quick Wallingford" will appear.

Among the courses in Mission Study which
will be given next semester are the course on the
"Religions of the World" under Sweet '13 and
the course on "City Problems" under Pike '13.
The latter course will be along the line on which
Mr. Cutts spoke to the Seniors recently.

The baseball net, said to be the largest thing of
the kind ever made, is now being installed in the
Athletic Building. Beside the main net, which
protects the top and sides of the building, there
will be a partition between the space for baseball
and track. It was only with great difficulty that
a manufacturer was found who would take the
contract for it.

MJttf) tfte jFacuItp

Dr. Gerhard Brauner of the Mt. Pleasant
Academy at Ossining, New York, is to have
charge of Professor Files' classes next semester.
Dr. Brauner was a student of Modern Languages
at the Universities of Gottingen, Freiburg, and
Marburg, receiving his doctorate at the latter in-
stitution magna cum laude. He has taught at the
Gymnasium in Dessau, his subjects being Ger-
man and French. He has traveled extensively
in Europe.

In approving the baseball schedule for this,
year the faculty made the provision that in the
future no fewer than one-third of the games be
played in Brunswick.

On the thirtieth of this month Dean Sills will
sail from New York on the Caronia. He wilt
spend his time abroad in Egypt, Palestine, and
Italy, returning by way of England. He will
reach Brunswick early in September.

Professor Files sails from Boston on the
Canopia Feb. r for an extended automobile trip
abroad. He intends to tour through Italy,
France, and Germany, and will return to Bruns-
wick in June.

Dr. Whittier has been elected faculty delegate
to the alumni dinners in Portland and Boston.

Professor Files was recently elected vice-
president and director of the Union National
Bank of Brunswick.

Professor W. B. Catlin and Professor James
L. McConaughy have been elected members of
the Brunswick Club.

Professor Wass of the Music Department was:

runner-up in the billiard tournament at the
Brunswick.

The committee of the general alumni associa-
tion which was recently formed to consider the
advisability of forming an alumni council, met in
the Dean's office Saturday evening. The commit-
tee is composed of Charles T. Hawes '76 of Ban-
gor, John Clair Minot '96 of Boston, Dean K. C.
M. Sills '01 and Prof. W. E. Lunt '04 of Cornell.

Professors Sills and Hutchins attended the
dedication of the new science building at Bates
College last Tuesday.

Professor McConaughy completed the work
for his Ph. D. degree at Columbia University last
week by passing an oral examination on his thesis
"The School Drama," which will soon be pub-
lished by the university. The degree will be per-
sonally awarded at the June commencement.
Professor McConaughy has succeeded in obtain-
ing this degree in much less time than is usually
required and is one of the youngest doctors ever
honored by Columbia.

The Rhodes Scholarship, by George R. Parkin,
organizing secretary of the Rhodes Scholarship
Trust, gives an admirable explanation of matters
regarding the Trust : its inception, its history, its
aims, its problems, the opportunities it offers, and
its methods of administration.

All other Library subjects must yield space to
a mention of a most important accession — The
Oxford English Dictionary, a new English dic-
tionary on historical principles, founded mainly
on the materials collected by the Philological So-
briety, and edited by Sir James A. H. Murray.

The dictionary is probably more elaborate than
any other already completed or promising early
completion. The alphabet through "R" is now
finished and occupies nine volumes. One obtains
an idea of the scope of the work by learning that
it records over twice as many words, illustrates
three times as many, and contains ten times as
many illustrative quotations, as does the Cen-
tury, which, up to this time, has been considered
the most extensive dictionary.

Although an Englishman deserves the credit
for editing, American scholars have figured very
prominently in furnishing the citations used in ar-
riving at the correct definition of the words. For
the past forty years, voluntary readers in both
England and America have been sending in to the
editor passages illustrating some word, or use of
a word, that was unusual. It is interesting to
note that thip new dictionary was the one which

An undergraduates' economics society was re-
cently organized at Harvard.
A chess club has been formed recently at Colby.
By an investigation at New York University
by the department of sociology it was found that
the average student there spends about $400 a
year. The lowest year's expense was $308 and
the highest was more than $800. Only forty-two
per cent, of the undergraduates live in the college
dormitories, while thirty-two per cent, of these
go home over Sunday. The average time put on
outside activities was eight hours a week, with
the maximum at about 20 hours.

As a movement in the direction of real scholar-
ship Harvard University has decided to enforce
new requirements in the division of history and
economics. Hereafter it is proposed to test not
the student's ability to remember discontinued
unrelated facts but his ability to think, largely
and consecutively. It is planned that the student,
at the end of his course, submit to an examina-
tion covering all work in the previous three or
four years, and no man who fails to pass this ex-
amination satisfactorily will be entitled to his de-
gree. The scheme involves faculty supervision
of the student's outside reading and is an effort
to make the man appreciate that learning is not
just one thing after another, each preceding
thing to be forgotten as soon as learned.

As the result of a canvass of Harvard seniors
two hundred and three men expressed a willing-
ness to undertake some sort of social service
work after graduation.

The seventh annual triangular debate between
Williams, Amherst and Wesleyan, which took
place last Friday, resulted in a three-cornered
tie, the home team of each college winning in
each case.

A compilation entitled "What Harvard Men
Spend" is published in the new edition of the
University Register. The figures, calculated on
the basis of reports by a representative group,
indicate that aside from money spent for tuition,
room rent, and regular board, the students resi-
dent in Cambridge spend yearly about $1,576,330
on what might be called the incidentals of college
life.

The enrolment of Dartmouth and its allied
schools for the year 1912-1913 is 1294 as com-
pared with 1302 in the year 1911-1912. Dart-

a marked increase in the number of western stu-
dents.

Fraternities at Cornell are required to pay a
special tax of $11,500 to finance the building of a
new high school at Ithaca.

The seniors at the University of Indiana have
chosen for their distinctive class dress corduroy
trousers for the men and mackinaw coats for the
women.

G. C. Taylor, a student at the University of
Missouri, is paying his way through school on
the proceeds from the milk of five cows which he
milks each morning at 4 o'clock.

A petition is being signed by faculty members
and students at Harvard asking that the faculty
abolish the practice of holding "beer nights." A
•divinity student is the leader of the crusade.

Clog dancing is a part of the physical training
course for men at the University of Michigan.

Four thousand eight hundred and fifty-six for-
eigners are enrolled in the universities and col-
leges of the United States as regular students.

The registration at Williams is the smallest in
seven years.

An Illini Club, consisting of one hundred Il-
linois men, is one of the strongest state clubs at
the University of Michigan.

Cheer leaders will no longer be chosen by vote
at Princeton as it is believed that favoritism is

A '"Thirty Club" has been formed at the Uni-
versity of Texas. It numbers upperclassmen who
are engaged in university journalistic work, and
its object is to improve the university publica-
tions.

Leland Stanford University recently defeated
the champion soccer tea'm of Australia by the
score of 13 to 12.

At the annual class scrap at the University of
Oklahoma this year, baling wire was used to tie
the hands of the opposing classmen.

Professor John W. Burgess, who was dean of
the graduate faculties at Columbia University
until his retirement last June, makes some caustic
comments in his annual report, which he has just
submitted, on the founding of institutions of re-
search by men of wealth. He says that they are
■created in direct opposition to the furtherance of
the aims and ideals of true universities.

Students of the American College in Rome

'69. — Dr. Charles A. Stephens and Miss Minnie
A. Plummer, the famous Maine prima donna,
known as Mile. Scaler, were united in marriage
at South Paris, Me., on Dec. 26th. Dr. Ste-
phens" stories of field and camp have thrilled the
blood of American boys for more than 40 years.
He has long been connected with the editorial
staff of the Youth's Companion.

'81. — Edgar O. Achorn, LL.D., has an article
in the London Spectator of January 4 on the
Monroe Doctrine.

'84. — Once again it becomes the sad duty of the
Orient to record the death of one of its former
editors, Rev. Charles W. Longren, Ph.D., late of
Redlands, Cal.

Dr. Longren was born Feb. 27, 1857, at Wirse-
rum, Sweden and came to this country when still
a boy. He prepared for college at Oberlin Acad-

192

BOWDOIN ORIENT

emy, entering this college in 1880. While in col-
lege. Air. Longren was a valuable and trusted as-
sistant in the college library, having complete
charge of the then separate Athenseum and
Peucinian Libraries. He also took an A.M. de-
gree here in 1887. In the same year he graduated
from Andover Theological Seminary and for the
next two years was a pastor in Freeport. In 1888
he married Miss Mary Jackson of Waldoboro.

In 1890, he left this state, holding a pastorate
in Barre, Vt, for four years, and goingfrom
there to Franklin, Mass., where he remained for
five years. In 1899, on account of his health, he
went to Colorado where he held pastorates at
Montross and Longmont. During this time he
was awarded a degree of Doctor of Philosophy
from the University of Denver, showing the ap-
preciation of his work in the West. In 1909, he
was called to Weiser, Idaho, and went from
there to southern California about a year ago.
He died November 5, 19 12.

Dr. Longren was not only an earnest worker
in the church, an eloquent speaker and a success-
ful pastor, but he was also always interested in
the larger life of the community wherever he
happened to be. He will be sadly missed, not
only in the Congregational Church where he was
an influential and helpful leader, but also by a
large circle of personal friends both in the East
and in the West.

'90. — Herbert Edgar Holmes, the well-known
Lewiston lawyer and editor and the present
State Librarian has made a valuable contribu-
tion to the historical literature of the state in his
recent publication, "The Makers of Maine."
Realizing that the history of our own state is
given very little place, even in our own schools,
Mr. Holmes has attempted to fill a gap in our his-
tory which has been especially overlooked. He
bears especial emphasis on the work of the Jesuit
missions in the state. The book is of the popular
type, most interesting on account of the many
concrete examples introduced to illustrate the
trend of the early settlements, and is a very in-
teresting story as well as an authentic history.

95- — Guy B. Mayo, who was a prominent mem-
ber of the Progressive National Convention, is
also assuming an important place in the State
Legislative Committee of the Pennsylvania Pro-
gressives, who control the State Republican Con-
vention.

01. — Thomas W. Bowler, recently superintend-
ent and principal of schools at Vineyard Haven,
'02. — Among the recent bulletins published by
is now the head of the Latin department at the
Westfield, Mass.. High School.

the U. S. Geological survey is one on "Explora-
tion of Salines in Silver Peak, Nevada." by R. B.
Dole.

"04. — Once again it becomes the sad duty of the
Orient to report the death of one of our younger
alumni. Alphonso Clyde Merryman, a man well
known to the more recent classes of the College
because of his residence in this vicinity and one
of the most popular men in his class.

Mr. Merryman was born in Freeport, where
his mother still lives, in 1882. He graduated from
the high school of that town in 1900 and entered
Bowdoin in the following fall. After graduation
from college he remained here for a year to take
a post graduate course, and also was an assistant
to Prof. Lee for two years. After leaving Bow-
doin, he became the principal of a high school in
Milwaukee, and held this position for three years.
From there he went to Superior where he has
spent the last three years as a professor of chem-
istry and biology.

In 1909, Prof. Merryman came east and mar-
ried Miss Annie Harrington of Brunswick. This
year he had built a fine residence at Superior and
moved into it just before his death. He died Dec.
8th from blood-poisoning resulting from an ab-
scess.

Mr. Merryman was very popular in his under-
graduate days here, and the same qualities which
made him so well liked here made many friends
for him in the West. He was a man unusually
deep and conscientious in his work, a good in-
structor, and a true friend. He will be sadly
missed from the class circle, and by his many
friends in the two different parts of the country.
'09. — Dr. Carroll M. Webber Medic '09, has
been appointed superintendent of the new Ed-
ward Mason Dispensary in Portland. Dr. Web-
ber took both the academical and medical courses
in Bowdoin. He was a member of the Zeta Psi
Fraternity and of the Alpha Kappa Kappa Medi-
cal Society.

'10. — Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Abbott of Port-
land announce the engagement of their daughter,
Miss Dorothy Abbott, to James F. Hamburger of
Hyde Park, Mass. Miss Abbott graduated from
Portland High School in 1909, where she was one
of the most popular girls of the class. "Jimmy"
was popular man of his class at their Ivy exer-
cises, and is well-known to the present under-
graduates. He is now connected with a business
house in Boston.

'12. — Elden G. Barbour has taken charge of
the Vinalhaven High School. He is filling the
position recently vacated by H. P. Marston '11
who has gone to Massachusetts.

COLLECTION OF THE BLANKET TAX

On the first three days of next semester, Feb-
ruary 10, ii, 12, the second installment of the
blanket tax will be due. The Board of Managers
will have an agent to receive the money and issue
the student ticket on these days in the Manager's
room in the new gymnasium. The office hours
will be from 8.30 to 12.30 and 1.00 to 5.00 P. M.
On receipt of the tax the students will receive a
coupon ticket admitting to home games and other
contests of an intercollegiate nature. At 8.00
p. m. Feb. 12, the Board of Managers will meet
in the manager's room to consider applications
for an extension of time in payment of the tax.
These applications may be made either in person
or in writing. Failure to pay the tax on these
three days or to make application for extension
of time will debar a student from the membership
in the A.S.B.C. and its privileges for the ensuing
semester.

FENCING MANAGER

Gordon P. Floyd was elected fencing man-
ager for the ensuing year at an election held last
Wednesday noon in Memorial Hall.

The fencing squad is practicing daily in the
new gymnasium. It is in charge of Mr. Charles
White, the fencing master of the Pianelli Club of
Augusta. Mr. White comes to Brunswick every
Saturday night to coach the squad. Several new
men of promise have already come out and it is
hoped that others will follow their example.

COLLEGE RECEIVES BEQUEST

President Hyde announced in Chapel last Tues-
day morning that Bowdoin is to receive $50,000
from the estate of the late Levi M. Stewart of
Indianapolis, Ind. This generous gift is made
unconditionally and is to be used as the college
authorities deem best. The notification of the
gift was made by David T. Stewart, the donor's
brother and executor. A similar gift of $50,000
was made to Bates College and $75,000 was given
to Dartmouth College from the same estate.

Levi M. Stewart, a graduate of Dartmouth
College and a former resident of Maine, went to
Indiana as a young man, and there acquired
property which later became valuable building

sites in Indianapolis. He died recently, unmar-
ried, leaving the settlement of his estate to his
brother, David D. Stewart, who received the de-
gree of Master of Arts from Bowdoin in 1872.
The latter is a prominent lawyer in St. Albans
and a veteran Maine legislator of considerable
prominence, having served several terms in both
House and Senate and at one time occupied the
position of President of the Senate.

President Hyde also announced that the con-
tribution of Hon. John S. Hyde of Bath for the
General Thomas Worcester Hyde Athletic Build-
ing had been increased from the original $25,000
to $42,000, a sum covering the entire cost of the
structure.

ORCHESTRA CLASS

A course in the orchestra will be held next
semester under the direction of Professor Wass.
The class will meet every Wednesday evening at
8.00 p. m. in the Christian Association room. All
who are interested are urged to attend the meet-
ing to be held on the first Wednesday of the next
semester and bring instruments.

PRELIMINARY B.A.A. TRIALS

A squad of 21 men ran in the preliminary trials
for the relay team that will compete against the
University of Maine at the B.A.A. meet February
8. Although no time was given out, it is under-
stood that some of the men ran exceptionally
fast.

Those who tried out are: L. Donahue '14,
Cummings '13, C. Tuttle '14, Gardner '13, Payson
'14, P. Smith '15, Russell '14, Jones '13, Haskell
'13, Floyd '15, MacWilliams '15, Emery '13, Hall
'13. Tarbox '14, Thompson '15, A. Stetson '15,
Richardson '16, Walker '13, Melcher '15, Coxe
'15, Skolfield '13.

There will be other trials held this week and
next and from the results of all of them the four
men and alternate will be chosen.

BOWDOIN SONG CONTEST RENEWED

Professor Frank E. Woodruff, chairman of the
Committee of Judges for the Bowdoin Prize Song
Contest, which ended Jan. 15, has announced the
following decision :

194

BOWDOIN ORIENT

"After careful consideration the Committee on
Music has decided to continue the Bowdoin Song
Contest until May 31. The Committee recognizes
the merit of the verses offered in the competition
that closed Jan. 15, and thinks that as the poetical
expression of various phases of college life, both
before and after graduation, they are, in many
cases, admirably adopted for publication in one
of the College papers ; but the Committee is of
the opinion that they do not meet satisfactorily
the required and necessary conditions of a gen-
eral and permanent college song. The prize is
not therefore given to any of the songs hitherto
received, and the contest will be continued until
May 31, in the hope that other contributions may
be received which will more adequately meet the
conditions of a desired college song."

The prize offered in this contest by the Music
Committee of the Faculty is fifty dollars. Com-
petitors are requested to send their songs, signed
with a nom dc plume, and accompanied by the
composer's name in a sealed envelope, to Mr. Ed-
ward H. Wass, chairman of the Music Commit-
tee.

DEBATING PROSPECTS

Directly after the commencement of the second
semester the debating season at Bowdoin will
start in earnest. Already the candidates for the
Bradbury debates are preparing their parts for
the trials, which will occur Feb. 13. At these
trials four teams will be chosen to compete on
Feb. 27 and 28, and on the basis of the work in
these two debates, two teams will be selected to
represent the College in the debates with Hamil-
ton and Wesleyan. On April 10, Bowdoin will
meet Hamilton at Brunswick and Wesleyan at
Middletown. The question for both the triangu-
lar and the Bradbury debates will be: Resolved,
That a tariff for revenue only would materially
reduce the high cost of living.

Bowdoin's debating prospects this year are very
good, for in addition to the four men now in col-
lege who made last year's teams, Bowdoin has an
abundance of other promising candidates, who
will assure lively competition, and make the vet-
erans show their mettle to retain their places.

LIMITATIONS SCHEME

The plan for limitation of student activities
submitted to the Student Council by a committee
appointed for that purpose is printed below for
the information of students, faculty and alumni.
It is felt by the Council that the matter is of such
interest to the College at large that expressions
of opinion in communications to the Orient and

discussions in student meetings are advisable be-
fore action is taken on the plan. Consequently
the Council has deferred action on the committee
: eport until there has been given time for expres-
sion of opinion on the matter. At the smoker to
be held February 17 there will be given an op-
portunity for free discussion and faculty mem-
bers and alumni are invited to be present.

It will be noticed in the scheme that a number
of honorary offices such as class officers, mem-
bership on student and athletic councils, prize
competitions, etc., are not included in the scheme
of limitation.

THE REGULATION OF INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATION
IN UNDERGRADUATE ACTIVITIES.

The undergraduate activities shall be divided
into two groups known as majors and minors.

The activities and offices known as majors shall
be as follows :

Managers, assistant managers, and players on
the Varsity football, baseball and track teams ;
members of intercollegiate debating teams ;
Masque and Gown president, manager and mem-
bers of the first ten parts in the cast ; members
and officers of musical clubs ; editor-in-chief and
business manager of the Bugle, chairman of the
Quill Board, managing editor of the Orient and
business manager of Bowdoin Publishing Co.

The activities and offices known as minors shall
be as follows :

Varsity fencing, relay and cross-country
teams; members and art editor of Bugle Board,
Orient and Quill Boards; assistant managers
Bowdoin Publishing Co.; band; executive offi-
cers of Christian Association and chairman of
Social Service, Bible Study and Missionary
Committees of same ; president of Debating
Council, Good Government Club and Chemical
Club.

No student can engage in more than two
majors and one minor in one collegiate year; nor
shall the three occur simultaneously. Nor can
he engage in more than one major and two
minors.

Any student elected to, appointed to, or partici-
pating in any activity in excess of the number
prescribed above shall be required to resign from
the same immediately and the office or position
shall be declared vacant automatically. The en-
forcement of these regulations shall be in the
hands of the Student Council and the secretary
of the same shall receive from those in charge of
the various activities a list of its personnel.

Exceptions to these provisions may be granted
on petition by a five-sixths vote of the Council.

These regulations are to take effect beginning

BOWDOIN ORIENT

195

with the college year 1913-1914.

These regulations may be adopted by a major-
ity vote of the members present at any meeting
of the A.S.B.C. and may be amended by such a
vote.

DEBATING COUNCIL BANQUET

Tuesday evening, Jan. 21, at Hotel Eagle the
Debating Council held a banquet, marking the ap-
proach of the end of the first semester. After
an excellent dinner, Douglas '13, president of the
Council, presided at a brief session of speech-
making. The principal speakers were Professor
William Hawley Davis and Professor Wilmot B.
Mitchell, both of the English Department.

The members of the Sophomore and Freshman
debating teams, which debated recently, attended
the affair as guests of the Council.

The Council has decided to make this occasion
a semi-annual instead of an annual gathering, as
it has been until this year. '

THE NEW YORK ALUMNI

A circular letter has been issued recently by the
secretary of the Bowdoin College Alumni Asso-
ciation of New York City with the purpose of
bringing before the members of that body a num-
ber of matters of interest.

Most important of these is the announcement'
of the proposed New York concert of the Bow-
doin College Glee and Mandolin Club. The let-
ter solicits subscriptions for the support of the
venture and outlines the general entertainment
to be given the club members.

The second announcement is of a weekly Bow-
doin luncheon on Tuesday noons from 12:30 to
1 130 at the Restaurant Francais, 140 Fulton St.,
Manhattan.

Blanks are issued with the letter, to be filled
out by prospective employers . and employees
among the members of the association with a
view to establishing an employment bureau simi-
lar to that of the Boston Alumni Association.

There is an enclosure with the letter explaining
the proposed college club of New York City
which aims to serve as the home of all college
alumni associations, etc.

The circular closes with a complete announce-
ment of the forty-third annual banquet and din-
ner of the Association to be held at the Sherman
Square Hotel, January 31.

structive, lecture on "America in the Far East."
The speaker said that the nations of the East
are undergoing a period of change. Intellectual
revolutions are moving from the leaders down to
the masses. "Africa is not only becoming a white
man's country, but a country in which we may
become acquainted with the natives themselves."
These countries have great need of English and
American missionaries. Turkey wants to learn
of our civilization. India is having religious re-
forms, and she is reaching out her hands to us for
help. Japan has a tremendous need of a religion,
for Buddha is still worshipped by thousands of
people.

Mr. Bell spoke of the work of certain Bowdoin
alumni in the East, and described at length that
of Hiwale '09. Robert College, founded by Dr.
Cyrus Hamlin '35, has a great educational in-
fluence. "No work done by Americans has been
of more service than the introduction of indus-
tries. * * * The American Christian tries to get
into the natives' lives and to give them what they
need; and he has brought the spirit of life into
these conditions." The great orphanages give a
new knowledge of life to children. The uplift
and education of women is very marked. The
Doshisha Girls' School is well known by its work
of this kind. The medical and surgical work is a
wonderful thing to these Eastern people, who
flock from miles around to the physician and sur-
geon, who can give them marvelous remedies.
Nurses are trained for work among the people.
Dispensaries are built; there is one in Hiwale's
own town. Hiwale, a member of the highest
caste of India, is giving his life to the members
of the lowest. He has recently started a boarding
school. The missionaries throughout these coun-
tries do religious, industrial and philanthropic
work ; and as we give them help, we have a share
in this work.

Bell, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, delivered a most interesting, as well as in-

As there is 110 honor system
Fair Work generally adopted in the col-

lege, the Orient is inclined
to say a few words prayerfully in regard to the
coming examinations. May every man as he en-
ters the examination room remember that the
Bowdoin tradition of fair work is as important
and as binding as that of fair play.

The Orient is glad to ac-
Thanks! knowledge the contribution

made by a member of the
college community which is published in this
issue. Such unsolicited items come as a pleas-
ant surprise and are much appreciated. The de-
partment devoted to the Faculty is open at all
times to that body for announcements, notices
and items; the Library Table and alumni depart-

ments are likewise open to general contributions.
In this connection we would like to suggest to
those in charge of college organizations and
those issuing news of college interest that the
Orient considers it a great favor to have the
first general publication of such news made in its
columns. Of course, there are some pieces of
news that demand immediate publication but
there are others that can wait until the Orient
is issued. Thus may our issues become less and
less of a review of the daily papers, and more
and more a Bowdoin publication.

By the time the next issue of
The Tax Due the Orient appears, the time

for paying the blanket tax
will be nearly at an end. Again we wish to urge
the importance of meeting this obligation prompt-
ly. The proverb that he gives twice who gives
early applies directly in this case. If the plan
succeeds at present, the weight of tradition will
make success easier of attainment in the future.
The test comes now.

The Limitations
Scheme

The plan for the limitation
of the college honors of in-
dividuals presented to the
Student Council by one of its committees is print-
ed in another column. The Council has discussed
the arguments for and against the proposed sys-
tem and yet is not sure that it has considered all
possible results. In order that the general senti-
ment may be learned, it is desired that everyone
who has ideas on the subject will make ready to
place them before the college at the smoker next
month. In this way the Council may benefit by
a large number of opinions and be able to make
definite progress toward the solution of the ques-
tion.

THE JUNIOR ASSEMBLY

Plans are now under way for the first Junior
Assembly to be held in Memorial Hall, February
14. Since the decision has been made that the
gymnasium be used only for the Ivy and Com-
mencement Hops the committee has decided to
make an effort to make these assemblies of a dif-
ferent character than heretofore. As the date
for the first dance falls on St. Valentine's day,
there will be a number of features in the way of
decorations, etc. As the class is financially re-
sponsible for the success of the affair it is possi-
ble to make these affairs more elaborate than has
been the case in the past. The idea of the com-
mittee is, however, to make these two winter
dances ones in which the whole college shall par-

as much informality as is consistent will be aimed

PIANO RECITAL

The members of the student body who are tak-
ing the music courses and several of the faculty
were given a recital at eight-thirty this morning
by Mrs. Frank Dutton and Mrs. George Brickett
of Augusta. Both of the pianists have been
trained abroad and are considered to be among
the best musicians of the state. The program
was :

TRACK NEWS

The Maine intercollegiate track meet will be
held May 16 at the University of Maine. With
the Athletic Building Charlie Haskell's squad has
been able to steal a march on the other Maine
colleges, and it is hoped that Bowdoin will re-
trieve herself for last year's defeat.

James Lathrop, coach of the Bates track team,
has been conferring with Captain Haskell and
Manager Cole concerning two dual meets be-
tween Bates and Bowdoin. According to La-
throp's proposed plan, one of these meets will be
indoor and the other outdoor. No decision has
yet been reached by the Bowdoin management,
but the plan is being considered carefully. If the
meets are arranged, the indoor meet will probab-
ly be in Brunswick, owing to the superior advan-

tages of the new gymnasium, and the outdoor
meet will probably be at Lewiston.

•Uriah" Hall will run the mile at the B. A. A.
at Boston- February 8, according to the present
plans.

The interscholastic track meet is scheduled for
Saturday, May 30. This date has not been de-
cided upon finally, however, as the 23rd is also
being considered.

INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATING LEAGUE

Stanley Dole '13. manager of the Bowdoin In-
terscholastic Debating League, has made arrange-
ments to hold the preliminary debates on Feb. 28.
On that date Lewiston High will meet Wilton
Academy at Wilton, and Portland High will con-
test with Cony High at Augusta. The winning
teams will debate at Brunswick on a later date
not yet announced. The question for the three
debates will be : Resolved, That the period dur-
ing which the President of the United States
shall be in office should be limited to six years.
The coaches of the teams are as follows : Jones
'13, Portland High; LaCasce '14, Lewiston High;
Gage '14, Cony High; Marr '14, Wilton Academy.

The Debating Council is now pushing forward
the formation of another interscholastic debating
league, similar to the present organization. Al-
though the proposed league is not yet wholly as-
sured, the prospects of its becoming a reality are
very good. The Westbrook and Edward Little
High Schools have been practically secured as a
nucleus, and it is hoped and expected that two of
the other preparatory schools with which negotia-
tions are now under way will soon join. Accord-
ing to present plans, Westbrook will debate Ed-
ward Little at Auburn on Feb. 28. The coaches,
for these teams have not yet been appointed.

THE BOYS ASSOCIATION

The Brunswick Boys' Association, under the
general supervision of Merrill '14, is progressing
rapidly. The enrollment has jumped to ninety-
eight members, who are divided into eight day
and two night classes. During the week many
improvements have been made in the old gym-
nasium. An extensive equipment of gymnastic
apparatus has been installed, and the southwest
corner has been transformed into a spacious club
room, where the different groups meet socially.
The room has been made attractive by the addi-
tion of chairs, tables, reading matter, and the
Y. M. C. A. piano.

The Association is not only a great advantage
to the town boys, but also furnishes college men
a great opportunity for unselfish, brotherly.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Christian service. Although Chase '14, Austin
'15, Cross '15 and Fox '14 are giving assistance
in the gymnasium, several more volunteers are
wanted, and- fellows in College who can spare
time and are interested in the movement should
■confer with Merrill '14.

FEBRUARY MEETINGS
During the month of February the Y.M.C.A.
will hold a series of five o'clock vesper services
in the Chapel. The general subject of the meet-
ings is the Church and social service. The
speaker on February 13 will be Mr. A. A. Downes
-of Fairfield, Me. He will speak on "The Church
and Medicine." On February 20 Daniel Evans,
D.D., of the Andover Theological School will
■speak on "The Church and the Laboring Man."
The speaker for February 27 has not been chosen
yet but the subject is to be "The Church and
Business." There will be special music at all
these services and all students and friends of the
College are invited.

These meetings will take the place of the regu-
lar Thursday evening meetings and will close the
■calendar of Y.M.C.A. meetings for the year.

SUNDAY CHAPEL

The College was privileged to have Henry Van
Dyke, D.D., LL.D., of Princeton University, as
preacher at the morning service in the Church on
the Hill and at the vesper service in the chapel
last Sunday. For his subject at the afternoon
service Dr. Van Dyke took the life and character
• of Joseph. He first reviewed his life and
showed that although Joseph was influenced by
the stage in- which he was set and the drama in
which he took part, there was something in his
character which more than any of these counted
for his greatness. He then proceeded to roughly
classify these qualities of character as four di-
mensions— length, breadth, depth, and the un-
known dimension. In dealing with each of these
phases he applied the qualities of character to
modern life. His exposition of the four qualities
was in part as follows :

"Joseph was an idealist, a sentimentalist, a
dreamer. How wonderfully he interpreted the
king's dream. But it is impossible for a man to
live to his utmost without something of the in-
spiration of the dreamer. Every man is con-
fronted with two paths, one that which leads to
the prison of materialism and the other which
leads to the life of idealism, and the choice must
be made by every man, which he will take.

"Joseph was in the second place a big-hearted

man, a man with a broad vision. He was ambi-
tious and proud but free from avarice, vanity,
malice and envy. The big-hearted man must
have two qualities : willingness to forgive and
willingness to give. They are seldom enough
found together but when they are combined they
make the splendid man.

"Then too Joseph had depth of character. In
matters of great, fundamental principle, he was
fir >i as a rock, he could not sin against his God.
Gieat temptations, all the passions were arrayed
against his principles, but he carried the day. In
matters of judgment and taste compromises are
sometimes desirable, but in matters of principle,
never yield. What we need is not more moral
enlightenment but more moral backbone. It may
seem desirable at times to yield a point in princi-
ple to gain influence but by yielding we lose the
very quality which makes for influence.

"Lastly, Joseph possessed the fourth great di-
mension, faith in God ; in that was his power. He
never dreamed for a moment that God would
forsake him. In the luxury of Potiphar's house,
in the darkness of the Egyptian prison, — every-
where God was with him. So must it be with us
if our lives are to be strong and glorious. Fight
your fight to its end ; you will win. Die your
death in God's service ; He will bring you to the
Promised Land."

PUBLIC DEBATES

The Debating Council held a public debate Fri-
day evening in Memorial Hall on the following
question : Resolved, That a policy of progressive
development of water power under state owner-
ship and control should be adopted by the State
of Maine. The affirmative was supported by Ab-
bott '13, Bickford '14 and Hagar '13, and the
negative by Marr '14, Dole '13 and Cowan '13.
L. Dodge '13 was the presiding officer and Profes-
sor Warren B. Catlin, Douglas '13 and Verrill
'14 served as judges. The decision was awarded
to the affirmative.

The last meeting of English VI for the year
will take place Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 8.15 p. m.
in Memorial Hall. The subject of discussion
will be : Resolved, That President Taft's pro-
posal for relieving the financial stress now im-
posed upon the farmers should be enacted into
law. The debaters will be: LaCasce '14, McMa-
hon '13, Verrill '14, for the affirmative; J. Brown
'13, Norton '13, Tufts '13, for the negative. Ab-
bott '13 will preside. The meeting is an open
one, and the faculty and the students are urged
to attend.

LET SUBJECTS PROSTRATE FALL

King Mike, who has kept his regal presence
from his realm for the past twelvemonth, is again
announced on the campus, as the following proc-
lamation will bear witness :

OYEZ ! OYEZ ! OYEZ !

Having been appointed Master of the House-
hold and Lord High Chamberlain by His Royal
Highness, King Mike, I hereby give notice that
His Highness will hold a levee at No. 18 North
Winthrop Hall, February 15, at 8 o'clock.

The loyal subjects will be excepted to come

his reign over us again. The Royal Kiss will be
implanted upon a few deemed worthy of this
high honor, and His Majesty and I will select
from the list of the candidates the exalted group.
Those chosen as attendant 'officials at the levee
will be notified of their appointments before
February 10.

ALL the humble slaves must be in the required
court costume (not gym attire) and be thorough-
ly versed in the Court etiquette and procedure,

Club anO Council Sheetings

The meeting of the Somerset County Club has
been postponed until after examinations.

Eleven men from college met Monday night at
the Delta Kappa Epsilon House and formed a
Gun Club. The officers elected were : Skolfield
'13, president; Loring '15, vice-President ; T. E.
Emery '13, secretary and treasurer; Heywood
'14, field captain. Mr. Wheeler told some inter-
esting anecdotes about trap shooting and ex-
plained the sport and the system of handicaps.
The club will use the Brunswick Gun Club traps.
Handicap shoots will be held during the spring
for members, and if possible shoots will be ar-
ranged with other clubs. University of Maine
already has a club, and the prospects are good
that trap shooting will become a sport at Bowdoin
as it is at many other colleges.

The Board of Managers held a meeting last
Thursday. It was decided to use the sinking fund
of the associated student body for loans and only
the current sinking fund is to be used for that
purpose. Matters of detail in regard to the col-
lection of the second installment of the blanket
tax were also discussed.

The Classical Club held its first meeting of the
year last Tuesday evening, at the rooms of Dean
Sills and the following new men were taken in:
Robert Peter Coffin '15, Paul D. Demmons '15,
Clarence T. Rogers '15, Aaron W. Hyler '15,
William T. Livingston '15, Alfred H. Sweet '13.
The members of the club discussed plans for the
year and the rest of the evening was passed in-
formally.

Officers for the year were chosen as follows:
W. Dodge '13, president; Executive Committee,
Professor Woodruff, W. Dodge '13 and Pope '14.

On account of the mid-year exams, there will
be no meeting of the Chemical Club for the
month of January, but it is planned to hold two
meetings next month.

FRIAR CUP STANDING

Acting Dean McConaughy announces the
standing of the several fraternities for the first
semester in the competition for the Friar Schol-
arship Cup. Delta Upsilon is the winner for the
fifth consecutive time. The average scholarship
is reckoned on a basis of points, each A counting
4 points ; B, 3 points ; C, 2 points ; D, 1 point ; and
E, -2 points. The total of the points made by
each fraternity is divided by the number of men
in the fraternity, thus giving the average scholar-
ship of each group. The average is higher this
semester than either of the two corresponding
semesters preceding. The standing is as follows :

Delta Upsilon 12.775

Theta Delta Chi 11.5882

Beta Theta Pi 10.9242

Non-Fraternity 10.7143

Delta Kappa Epsilon 10.4736

Alpha Delta Phi 10.4259

Psi Upsilon 9.52

Bowdoin Club 9.4661

Kappa Sigma 9-4558

Zeta Psi 9.4358

FIRST JUNIOR ASSEMBLY

The first of the Junior assemblies was held
Friday evening in Memorial Hall. Evergreen
formed the principal decoration of the hall, while
over the door was a large 1914, also worked in
evergreen. The dance orders were a combina-
tion of black, white and gold, with the Bowdoin
seal tastily arranged in the center of the design.

The patronesses of the evening were : Mrs.
Roscoe J. Ham, Mrs. Paul Nixon, Mrs. William
Hawley Davis, Mrs. Orren C. Hormell and Mrs.
Walter T. Brown, all of Brunswick. The com-
mittee in charge was : Barton, chairman, Paul
White, Arthur Merrill, Marr and Monroe, all
'14. Music was by Lovell's Orchestra of Bruns-
wick. A feature of the evening was the presence
of the Woodbury-Chapman bridal party of 24
persons.

Among the guests present were Miss Margaret
Day, Miss Helen Merriman, Miss Pauline Her-
ring, Miss Virginia Woodbury, Miss Frances
Skolfield, Miss Frances Little, Miss Mabel Davis,
Miss Marion Drew, Miss Sarah Baxter and Miss

Ellen Baxter, Miss Alexine Lapointe and Miss
Yvette Lapoint of Brunswick; Miss Hilda Laugh-
lin, Miss Phyllis Craig, Miss Alice Foster and
Miss Katherine Hall of Portland; Miss Helen
Christian and Miss Gail Woodcock of Bangor;
Miss Pauline Hatch, Miss Vivian Lamont, Miss
Caroline Jackson and Miss Hazel Howard of
Bath ; Miss Marion Troop of Wiscasset, Miss
Olivia Holway of Augusta, Miss Eloise Burth-
wick of Philadelphia, Miss Ruth Young of Saco,

berland Center, Miss Grace Weare of Ogunquit,
Miss Louise Talbot of Freeport, Miss Evelyn
Plummer of Lisbon Falls, Miss Sylvia Doutney
of Burlington, Vt., and Miss Lida Baker of Bos-
ton.

FIRST COLLEGE TEA

The first College Tea was held last Friday af-
ternoon in Hubbard Hall. It was well attended
and those who were present spent a pleasant af-
ternoon. Mrs. Hyde, Miss Helen Chapman, Mrs.
Ham, Mrs. Nixon, Mrs. W. T. Brown and Mrs.
Wass were on the reception committee. Mrs.
Frank Woodruff assisted by Miss Mary Elliott
and Miss Alexine Lapointe, poured coffee. Mrs.
Copeland, Mrs. William Hawley Davis, Mrs.
Walter T. Brown and Mrs. Wilder presided over
the sherbet tables. They were assisted by the
Misses Mitchell, Herring, Hall, Whittier and
Taylor. Mrs. Herman L. Stover, Mrs. Algernon
G. Chandler and Mrs. Carl H. Stevens served
cakes and bonbons. The ushers were Russell
'14, Payson '14, Badger '14, Verrill '15, Sylves-
ter '14, L. T. Brown '14, Card '15, Cunliffe '14,
MacCormick '15, Maclntire '16, and Oram '15.

NEW TRACK COACH

Bowdoin's track coach for this year is P. J.
Finneran, a man who is a star athlete not only in
one or a few events, but also in nearly every
event. He was seven years an amateur, and dur-
ing that time he won points in every meet in
which he competed. He has so many prizes and
trophies that it almost requires an express team
to carry them around.

He is a splendid gymnast, and excels at the
hurdles. He joined the B.A.A. in 1890, since

BOWDOIN ORIENT

which time he has established the world's record
for the 440 yard hurdle race at 52 2-5 seconds,
and the American record, 440 yard hurdles, at
60 3-5 seconds.

He has been employed as all around instructor
by the Chicago Athletic Club. From there he
went to the old Knickerbocker Athletic Club of
New York as all around man, and then he went
to Annapolis as track coach, where he remained
for four seasons. Last fall he was at New Haven
where he was one of the Yale coaches during the
fall track work. During this winter, he has been
employed at the Union Boat Club of Boston as
boxing instructor. From this long list of expe-
riences in the athletic world, it can be seen that
Mr. Finneran is an athlete of no mean ability.
He is at present trying to arrange his work so as
to be able to start work at Bowdoin.

He is six feet tall and weighs around 175
pounds. He is a gentleman of pleasing address,
makes friends of all with whom he comes in con-
tact, and is highly recommended.

CLASS OF 1868 SPEAKING

Those who were present at the Class of 1868
Prize Speaking Contest in Memorial Hall last
Tuesday evening were disappointed neither in
the excellence of the speaking nor in the literary
merit of the orations, for the high standard set
by previous '68 contests was not only equalled
but even surpassed. Each part revealed great
care and skill in preparation and was very well
delivered. The prize was awarded to Alfred
Henry. Sweet. President Hyde presided and the
judges were : Rev. John H. Quint, Prof. George
T. Little and Supt. J. A. Cone. Lovell's Orches-
tra furnished music. Following is the program :

Music
The Class Struggle, Paul Howard Douglas

Kipling the Poet, Laurence Alden Crosby

Music
Emerson's Individualism, Edward Oliver Baker
The War in the Balkans, Alfred Henry Sweet

Music
The Theatre as a Teacher, Cedric 'Russell Crowell
A Modern Patriot, Fred Dixon Wish, Jr.

Music
Announcement of the Judges' decision.

VESPER SERVICES

In the Chapel last Thursday afternoon was
held the first of a series of vesper services. The
speaker was Dr. A. A. Downs, a graduate of the
Medical School and now connected with the
Maine Anti-Tuberculosis Society. His subject
was "The Church and Medicine." and he told

how the church could markedly assist the medical
profession in the treatment of such problems as
prohibition, eugenics, the sex problem, preventa-
ble diseases and insanity. The closing words of
the address were : "This is an age where, if men
make good, they must do something for the good
of humanity. Here is a field for the practical ap-
plication of the principles enunciated by Christ."

Next Thursday afternoon Prof. Daniel. Evans
of Andover Seminary will speak on "The Church
and Labor." The college quartette will sing and
Miss Stetson will render a violin solo. Dr. Evans
spoke here last May in connection with the Con-
gregational meeting. He was born in South
Wales, August 22, 1866; came to America in
1869, studied three years at the Bangor Theolog-
ical Seminary and graduated from Bowdoin in
1890. He was ordained to the ministry in the
Congregational Church in 1891 and served as
pastor at East Weymouth, Maine, from 1891 to
1899, and since that time he has been in Cam-
bridge. He was given the degree of D.D. in
1906. He is intensely interested in the Labor
problem and has served as arbitrator in a num-
ber of labor disputes.

On February 27 Dean Alfred E. Burton '78 of
Massachusetts Institute of Technology will speak,
having for his subject "The Church and Educa-
tion." There will be a vocal solo by Mrs. Davis,
and a violin solo by Miss Wilson.

MAINE WINS B.A.A. RELAY

By a scant yard and a half the University of
Maine relay team defeated our relay quartet at
the annual B.A.A. meet, Feb. 8. The race was
exciting from start to finish and was one of the
most closely contested of the evening. Donahue
of Maine had the pole and kept it at the first turn,
finishing four or five years ahead of Capt. Has-
kell. Smith '15 made up the distance lost by our
first man and by a brilliant burst of speed finished
a yard ahead of Rogers, his opponent. Emery
'13 held the lead, running against Littlefield.
Fox, Maine's last runner, got off fast and got the
lead at the first corner. McWilliams '15 kept
right to his heels but could not pass him and fin-
ished a yard and a half behind his opponent. The
time, 3 min., 19 4-5 sec, was slower than that
made by Bowdoin teams in the last two or three
years. Skolfield '13 was the alternate of the
Bowdoin team.

MUSICAL CLUBS CONCERTS

The New York trip for the Musical Clubs is
now assured. The concert will be in the grand
ball room at Delmonico's under the auspices of

BOWDOIN ORIENT

203

the New York Bowdoin Alumni Association and
the State of Maine Society of New York. There
will be a dance after the concert. This is the
first time the musical clubs of any Maine college
ever appeared in New York.

Two concerts in Massachusetts, one in Reading
■on March 28 and one in Boston on March 29,
have been arranged. The Massachusetts and
New York trip will be the longest the Clubs have
ever taken.

The next concert is the annual joint concert
with Bates in the City Hall, Lewiston. A dance
will follow this concert. The joint concerts with
Bates have been very successful and it is hoped
this will be even more so. The presence of a
good body of undergraduates will show that
Bowdoin supports her clubs well.

INDOOR INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET

At sharp 2.30 p. m. March 15 the first event of
Bowdoin's great Interscholastic Indoor Meet will
be pulled off in the General Thomas Worcester
Hyde Athletic Building. All events will take
place in the afternoon. So far ten schools have
entered and are : Deering High, Farmington
High, Leavitt Inst. (Turner Center), Lewiston
High, Portland High, Lincoln Academy, Morse
High (Bath), Brunswick High, Coburn Institute,
and Hebron Academy.

The original date set for the last opportunity
to signify intention of competing was February
15. For various reasons that date has been post-
poned to February 22. Every school must signify
its intention of competing before this date. No
application can possibly be recognized after Feb.
22.

The list of events will probably be : 40 yard
dash, 45 yard high hurdles, 300, 600 and 880 yard
run, 12 pound shot, high jump, broad jump, and
pole vault, in addition to relay races between the
most of the competing schools.

Medals will be awarded to the first three men
in each event — silver, bronze and ribbon. A tro-
phy will be awarded to the school winning the
meet. This trophy will be permanently possessed
by the school winning the greatest number of
times in five years.

No man will be eligible to compete in this meet
who has competed in interscholastic athletics for
four years in any school.

The management hopes that the fraternities
will see to the accommodation of the men from
the various schools, as entertainment has been
promised them. Every man in college should do
all in his power to make this meet a success and
a credit to ''Old Bowdoin."

ALUMNI BANQUETS

The Bowdoin Alumni Association of Boston
had the largest attendance in its history at its
45th annual banquet at Young's Hotel, February
5th. There were about 200 present. The College
was represented by President Hyde, Dr. Whittier
and L. A. Crosby '13. Dr. Myles Standish '75
presided at the affair, as president of the associa-
tion. At the head table also were seated Presi-
dent Hyde, Dr. Whittier, Prof. Jotham B. Sew-
all '48, H. C. Emery '92, Rev. Dr. Charles H. Cut-
ler 'Si, Edward Stanwood '61, L. A. Emery '61,
H. DeForest Smith '91, J .C. Minot '96, and Don-
ald B. McMillan <>.-

The Bowdoin Alumni of Portland held a ban-
quet Saturday evening, Feb. 8, in the State of
Maine room at the Falmouth Hotel which was at-
tended by at least 75 alumni. At the business
meeting the following officers were elected for
the ensuing year : President, Frederick O. Co-
nant '80; vice-president, David W. Snow '73 >
secretary and treasurer, Edward S. Anthoine '02 ;
nominating committee, Harry C. Wilbur '94,
Charles L. Hutchinson '90, Alfred P. Cook '97;
entertainment committee, George S. Sabin '03,
Wadleigh B. Drummond '07, Leland G. Means
'12. President Franklin C. Payson '76 presided
as toastmaster. The speakers were President
Hyde, E. W. Freeman '85, Hon. John A. Peters
'85, Dr. Whittier '85 and Hon. Harry B. Austin
•87.

The New York Association of Bowdoin
Alumni held a very successful banquet on Janu-
ary 31 at the Sherman Square Hotel. Horace E.
Flenderson '79 was elected president and Joseph
B. Roberts '95 was elected as secretary for the
coming year. William Curtis Merryman '82, was
toastmaster. The speakers included President
Hyde, E. P. Mitchell '71, George B. Chandler
'71, Donald B. McMillan '98, Dr. Bela G. Illes
'97, Medic, Max P. Cushing '09 and Cedric R.
Crowell '13. With General Thomas H. Hubbard
and Donald B. McMillan present to add an offi-
cial stamp to the choice the association adopted
the polar bear as the emblem of the College.

RANKING OF MEDICAL SCHOOL

According to a recent classification made by
the Council on Medical Education of the Ameri-
can Medical Association, based on thorough in-
vestigation, there are two medical schools in New
England which are thoroughly acceptable in every
respect. These are the Harvard and Yale
schools. Five others including the Medical
School of Maine, Dartmouth, Tufts, Boston Uni-
versity, and Vermont are rated in class A,

The Orient desires to con-
The New Quill gratulate the Quill on the

first number of its new vol-
ume. The editorial in particular displays a spirit
of determination which promises that the new
board will succeed in upholding the standard of
its predecessors. The appearance of the maga-
zine is in accord with the spirit of its pages and
speaks well for the change in the place of publi-
cation. May the college heed the plea for contri-
butions, giving the board an abundance of ma-
terial and in consequence the peace of mind nec-
essary for literary work.

A comparison of the ranks
The Friar Cup of the several contestants for

the Friar Cup with the ranks
for the past two years proves that the competi-

tion has served its purpose of raising the scholar-
ship of the college as a whole. The February re-
sults alone should be considered, since the June
results are increased by the grades for Physical
Training. Although the standard of some fra-
ternities has decreased, these mid-year results
show a consistent improvement in the average.
The college owes much to the organization which
has started the movement to put the fraternities
and non-fraternity group on their mettle as re-
gards scholarship.

NOVEMBER QUILL

Neither a buoyant nor a luxurious issue, but
surely a well-balanced one: observe the college
comedy offset by the metropolitan tragedy, and
the descriptive sonnet offset by the passionate-
lyric. Such would doubtless be a hasty charac-
terization of the November Quill. To the present
reviewer, it forms a welcome contrast to an issue
reviewed by him last year, in that the November
Quill contains not a dreamy line, not a thought
which is not charged with virility.

In A Plain Tale from the Campus we have one
of the eagerly awaited college stories. Has E.'s
talent, like that of the chief character in his story,
been long unsuspected? There is a genuineness
of tone and of detail to this narrative which al-
most completely revivifies the hackneyed plot.
There is a confidence and firmness in the han-
dling, moreover, which augurs well for future
efforts.

Sunset in Hakone, having already been tried
in the fire of English 9, is embarrassing to the
reviewer. Doubtless the writer has long been
painfully yet resignedly conscious of the
wrenched anapaest in line 6, the almost impudent
prosaicness of "completes," and other defects in
the workmanship. The effect of breathless se-
riousness, however, which grips the spectator-
reader as in the suspense succeeding the final
words he suddenly perceives the full beauty of

206

BOWDOIN ORIENT

the scene, is an achievement which survives all
pecking criticism of the process.

The deliberate, analytical method of narrating
Jimmy the Insignificant seems -plainly to have
been adopted in an effort to redeem the pervad-
ing melodrama of the story. The attempt itself
is commendable : there is an easy-chair, after-
examinations quality to the style which beckons
the attention without trying to seize it. But the
task is impossible : this young man — swaying,
righting, then weakening, and at length risking
the great leap — would show himself the lay-
figure that he is under a far more elaborate
cloak of style than Mr. Gibson's. And why?
Why this impatience with melodrama? One is
tempted to answer at length ; but, in brief, is it
not because of ingrained impatience with pup-
petry ? Does not success in depicting the temp-
tation and fall render impossible success in de-
picting the noble repentance and reformation ?
And is not suicide equally inconsistent with suc-
. cess in either direction ? Jimmy Livingston's
docility amidst the vicissitudes of this plot is like
the obligingness of the stage-hands in the pan-
tomime, where, in the words of Thackeray, "when
Clozvn wants anything — a warming-pan, a pump-
handle, a goose, or a lady's tippet — a fellow
comes sauntering out from behind the side-
scenes with the very article in question."

One feels in reading Rosamond — likewise re-
printed from English 9 — that it would inevitably
have burst from its author without any external
incentive such as the requirements of a Course.
Except for the unsingable hyperbole of "rever-
berates" and the inaptness of swearing to do
what one cannot help doing, the melody and the
illusion of the song are irresistible.

Ye Postman seems at first to demand no com-
ment; his errand is plainly to fellow-members of
the guild of college editors, and others feel al-
most guilty when they discover the fact. Since,
however, postal exigencies recommend that the
missive be unsealed, may not remorse be spared
to the diligent reader by providing, along with
the husks of titles and judgments, a kernel or
two of quotation?

Those vulgar errors called typographical are
still far too numerous in the Quill. Absolute ac-
curacy is too much to expect ; but perennial dis-
satisfaction with the degree of perennial inaccu-
racy is something which every conscientious re-
viewer must inculcate. The editor ought to be
scrupulously sensitive even to inverted letters ; he
certainly should recognize that although "even-
tide" may be only momentarily ambiguous, "all
to soon" must seriously affect the dignity of a

sonnet, and the grotesque suggestiveness of "bug
bear" (a sort of dislocated ant-eater?) is fatally
incongruous in any criticism.

— W. H. D.

DECEMBER QUILL

We were occupied when the December Quill
arrived. Without any intention of reading it at
once, we did go so far as to pry apart a couple
of pages with a pencil and look inside. "The
young man acted. Merciful God, hoiv he acted !"
This seemed promising. With some celerity we
cut the pages of "The Hamlet of Petersburg,"
and promptly read the last third of the story —
read it with respectful pleasure, not merely the
patronizing pleasure that one commonly feels in
looking over the work of an amateur one knows.
From the time when the unknown Hamlet joins
the strollers till the moment when his name is
deftly and unobtrusively introduced this Haw-
thorne Prize story is good, good not only as
Quill stories go, but good as most stories go.

We have also read the rest of the story, the
first part. While it is never uninteresting and
while it contains several clever passages, such as
that describing Billy Wheeler and his company,
and that introducing the old inebriate to the Toll
Tavern guests, the first part of "The Hamlet" is
not the best part. The postponed topographical
information seems to halt us at the beginning
rather unnecessarily ; one notes an occasional
harsh figure and a little magniloquence, in these
first few pages, which Billy Wheeler's great-
uncle should not be held responsible for ; last and
least, we challenge any mediocre lingual con-
tortionist to say rapidly: "had been weakening
him imperceptibly."

The remainder of the December Quill does not
loom large against this lather long and very suc-
cessful story. The few lines of verse, "Pierrot's
Love," are graceful ; and in the short essay, "Elm
Trees," one finds a number of fine touches in
way of phrase together with a little too much of
"the grand serious" in tone. Apropos of Quills
in general, we would add that impressionism and
individualism and printers have taken too many
liberties with the good, old, classic art of punc-
tuation. In conclusion, we wish to thank the re-
tiring editors for their services and to join with
them in lamenting the languid support that the
Quill receives. Only two men contribute to this
number ! We forbear invoking once again the
oft vexed shades of Longfellow and Hawthorne
— but it is really a discreditable situation for
magazine and college. — P. N.

the position of coaching next year's football
team. The candidates were voted on at a meet-
ing of the Athletic Council held yesterday after-
noon.

Candidates for the fencing team will elect a
captain sometime after the first of March. Ac-
cording to the custom when no captain has been
elected at the close of the preceding year, one of
the successful candidates is chosen as leader just
before the match with Harvard.

A deputation from the Bowdoin YiM.C.A. was
sent to the Maine Central Institute at Pittsfield

classes to get busy immediately and appoint com-
mittees to select the songs which their class will
use in the competition. Any information con-
cerning the ''Sing" may be obtained from Mr.
Wass.

The Seniors have already selected their songs
and are having "Senior Sings" in the Y.M.C.A.
rooms every Wednesday night. Although the
competition for the Snow Song Cup will come in
the latter part of the spring every class is ad-
vised to get to work at once and make these
"Sings" real interclass competition.

The Glee Club entertained at a ball given by
the Shriners at the Kora Temple in Lewiston
Saturday night. "Bowdoin Beata" was followed
by the grand march, after which the Mandolin
and Glee Clubs alternated in giving selections.
After the ball the club furnished music during the
banquet — over 500 seats. Among the guests pres-
ent were: Governor William T. Haines and ex-
Governor Plaisted.

The Commencement play will be decided on and

Resolutions

Hall of the Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon Fraternity.

Jan. 25, 1913.
With deepest sorrow the Theta Chapter of
Delta Kappa Epsilon hears of the death of one
of its oldest alumni, Henry Hyde Smith, LL.B.,
of the class of 1854, his death occuring on De-
cember 22, 1912 at the home of his son in Dan-
ville, Vermont. The Chapter of which he was
an active member so many years ago was always
dear to the heart of Brother Smith as was shown
by the keen interest he took in its affairs even to
the last. He had a distinguished career as a law-
yer in Massachusetts and Maine and in his
younger days was engaged in teaching. His
sweet disposition, his kindly spirit and good na-
ture endeared him to all who knew him. And so
it is that we are conscious of a great loss in his
passing. Therefore, be it

Resolved, That we express our sorrow at his
death and extend our sympathy to those bound
closer to him by ties of friendship and family.

■IOi — Edward Harlan Webster, now head of
the English department in the Commercial High
School of Springfield, Mass., has had published
in The Pedagogical Seminary for December, an
article on "Verse Making in Our Public
Schools." This is a very interesting and novel
treatment of the subject of teaching both expres-
sion and appreciation of the poetic form. In
Education for last March, Mr. Webster also had
a significant comparison of the old and new cur-
ricula of study in our colleges and used for an
illustration of the old-time brief but comprehen-
sive course, a page from an early last century
Bowdoin catalogue.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR CHAPMAN

Announcement of the death of Professor Chap-
man was made Monday morning in chapel, and
as a mark of respect to his memory other college
exercises for the day were omitted. He had been
ill for about two weeks when on Saturday his con-
dition suddenly became very serious, resulting in
his death :it 2 o'clock Monday morning. The
funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock at the First Parish Congregational Church
and the students and faculty will attend in a body.
The next issue of the Orient will contain an
obituary article expressing the deep sorrow that
we all feel at the loss of our beloved teacher and
friend.

MAINE STATE Y.M.C.A. CONFERENCE

The Maine State Y. M. C. A. will hold its fifth
annual conference at Bowdoin February 28 and
March 1 and 2, to unite the students of Maine
who are interested in Christian work in a con-
ference for inspiration and training. It is ex-
pected that there will be delegates from the
Maine colleges, Bangor Seminary, the ten schools
that have Y. M. C. A. organizations and those as
yet unorganized. Although the number of dele-
gates from the preparatory schools will be limit-
ed, the colleges and the Seminary can send any
reasonable number of men.

The list of speakers is a long one and includes

many men who have achieved success. The
speakers as now arranged are : Dr. Robert E.
Speer of New York, Secretary of the Presby-
terian Board of Missions, a graduate of Prince-
ton, annual speaker at Northfield and Silver Bay
and probably one of the most popular college
preachers in the country ; Harrison S. Elliott of
New York, Bible Study Secretary of the Student
Department of the International Y. M. C. A., and
one of the leading speakers at the 1912 confer-
ence at Orono ; Arthur Howe of New York, cap-
tain of the Yale football team in 191 1, coach in
1912 and now engaged in Y.M.C.A. work for
the preparatory schools of the country ; Henry
H. King of Boston, a graduate of Amherst, now
State Student Y. M. C. A. Secretary for Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island ; Daniel Chase, ath-
letic director at Hamilton College, a graduate of
the University of Maine and formerly a county
Y. M. C. A. secretary in New York ; President
William DeWitt Hyde of Bowdoin; and A. G.
Cushman, Secretary of the Bates Y. M. C. A.

The visiting delegates will be entertained on
the campus and in the town of Brunswick. After
the opening session, which will be Friday even-
ing at 7.15, a reception will be given to all dele-
gates by the Bowdoin Y. M. C. A., to which all
the members of the Bowdoin Y. M. C. A. will
probably be invited. The latter part of Saturday
afternoon will be given over to seeing various
points of interest about the College, among them
the new gymnasium, the College Library and the
Art Building.

Three committees have charge of the general
arrangements: Leigh '14 is chairman of the re-
ception committee, McWilliams '15 is sub-
chairman; Brown '14 is chairman and MacCor-
mick '15 is sub-chairman of the entertainment
committee; and Gray '14 and Sweet '13 are chair-
man and sub-chairman of the attendance commit-
tee.

COLLEGE SMOKER

The student body got together Monday night
in Memorial Hall and held the most successful
smoker of the year. "Dug" brought up the ques-
tion of the restriction of student activities and
laid it before the fellows for discussion. The

BOWDOIN ORIENT

men who voiced their ideas seemed to be unani-
mously of the opinion that the plan drawn up by
the Student Council was faulty in the following
respects : That such a plan makes no provision
for time spent by men who do not make their let-
ter on a varsity team ; that a manager and a cap-
tain have to devote more time and work than
members of teams, and therefore should not be
classed in with team members ; that members of
the Band, Chemical Club, Good Government Club
and kindred organizations do not give any more
of their time than class officers, members of the
Student and Athletic Councils, participants in
prize competition, etc., who are not included in
the scheme of limitation. A motion was then
made that a new system be devised by the Stu-
dent Council based on the amount of time that
each activity takes. The motion was seconded
and carried by a vote of the men present.

Another matter brought up and discussed was
the advisability of starting a new Bowdoin pa-
per devoted to humor. The plan seemed to meet
the approval of everyone, so papers were circu-
lated soliciting subscription pledges. If 200 fel-
lows pledge their support the success of the un-
dertaking is assured. It is intended to have this
paper printed each month of the college year, but
for the rest of this year there will be only two
trial numbers — one of which will come out Ivy
Day. ,

The new track coach, Mr. Finneran, spoke a
few words expressing his pleasure of working
with a Bowdoin track team. He expressed him-
self as very pleased with the material and equip-
ment he was given to work with.

"Cope" Philoon was back and gave the fellows
a "straight from the shoulder" talk on true Bow-
doin Spirit.

At every pause in the business of the smoker
the band got busy and did their share of enter-
tainment. A part of the Glee Club presented
their Cabaret Scene to a wildly enthusiastic aud-
ience. Of course Loring Pratt was there with
some of his inimitable stories and dialect poems.

Cider, apples, pretzels, pipes, tobacco and
cigarettes furnished the inward entertainment.

TRACK WORK

Track Coach Joe Finneran has arrived at Col-
lege and has started work with the track candi-
dates. The intercollegiate meets are still some
distance away, but the probability of a dual meet
with some New England college means that the
men must work during the winter season as well
as during the spring. The faculty vetoed a meet
with Trinity and negotiations are now under way

for a meet with either Boston College or the Uni-
versity of Vermont.

In order to develop new material, Coach Fin-
neran has started a series of interclass track
meets every Saturday afternoon. The first of
these was held last Saturday and was won by the
Juniors with 21 points. The Sophomores had 19,
the Seniors 3 and the Freshmen 2. The events
follow :

High Jump. — First, C. Brown '14; Nickerson
'16 and Green '13 tied for second and third.

40 Yard Dash. — First, Prescott '15; second,
Russell '14; third, Smith '15.

40 Yard Hurdles. — First, Smith '15; second, L.
Donahue '14; third, Russell '14.

Pole Vault. — First, Hubbard '14; second, Mc-
Kenney '15; third, Merrill '14.

Relay Race. — First, 1915 (Prescott, MacCor-
mick, Roberts, Smith) ; second, 1914 (Russell,
L. Donahue, Garland, Payson) ; third, 1913
(Gardner, Emery, Nixon, Walker).

Plans are now under way for outdoor relay
races between the New England colleges. No
final arrangements have been made as yet, how-
ever.

The date for the outdoor interscholastic has
been set at May 31.

The Bowdoin Freshmen will send a relay team
to race against the Bates Freshmen at Lewiston
March 13. The first call for candidates was is-
sued last Wednesday.

At a meeting of the Maine A. A. at the Hotel
DeWitt at Lewiston Saturday, Bowdoin was rep-
resented by Crowell '13 and Cole '14. The fol-
lowing officers were elected for the coming year :
President, Howes of Colby ; Vice-President, Cole
of Bowdoin; Secretary, Sullivan of Bates;
Treasurer, Adams of Maine; all four officers be-
ing the managers of their respective teams.
Aside from the election of officers there was the
discussion of officials for the Maine intercolle-
giate May 17.

BRADBURY DEBATING TRIALS

Sixteen men participated in the Bradbury De-
bating trials, held Monday afternoon in Hubbard
Hall, and from them the four teams which are to
compete in the Bradbury Prize Debates on March
3 and 4 were selected as follows: First debate,
March 3, affirmative: Coffin '15 , Sweet '13, Wish
'13; Cowan '13, alternate; negative: Bacon '15,
Emery '13, Gage '14; Eberhardt '13, alternate.
Second debate, March 4, affirmative: Abbott '13,
Crosby '13, Douglas '13; Garland '14, alternate;
negative: Norton '13, Simpson '14, Talbot '15;
Marr '14, alternate. The judges for the trials
were Supt. John A. Cone, J. S. Davis, Rev. E. M.

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Johnson and Daniel F. Koughan '09. The same
board of judges with the addition of President
Hyde will serve at the Bradbury Debates. The
question for the Bradbury Debates will be: Re-
solved, That a tariff for revenue only would ma-
terially reduce the high cost of living.

MUSICAL NOTES

The orchestra class under the leadership of
Professor Wass is proving to be a most profit-
able organization. The present twenty-three
members are taught to play together with expres-
sion ; but more players of orchestra instruments
are urgently requested to come out. Rehearsals,
lasting an hour and a half, are held Saturday
afternoons at 1.30. Later on, from this class an
orchestra club, made up of the best players, will
be organized for special work; but the class will
continue in its work.

the purpose of studying larger orchestra work.
The College rents music for this club from the
Institute of Musical Art of New York.

This week the College is to
Y.M.C.A. Conference act as host of the members

of the Student Christian As-
sociations of the State. Nearly two hundred rep-
resentatives of the other colleges and of the lead-
ing preparatory schools will be in attendance.
The efforts pi the college association to secure
speakers of national reputation assure the suc-
cess of this part of the conference. It rests upon
the undergraduates to extend to the delegates a
welcome which will lead them to enjoy them-
selves thoroughly and to carry away with them
the pleasant memory of their stay.

The following week it is the
Relay Carnival privilege of the College to en-
tertain other representatives
>f the schools of the State. Energetic prepara-

tions for this new. departure, in athletics are now
well under way. In the institution of a relay car-
nival, the Athletic Council has solved the prob-
lem of entertaining preparatory school men with
something of more immediate interest to them
than the customary interclass meet. The carnival
will serve the same purpose as the meet by af-
fording the visitors a close range view of the col-
lege. In this connection, the Orient desires to
reiterate the hope that the whole College will be
shown them and that no one phase will be al-
lowed to overshadow Bowdoin itself.

After many years of plead-
A True Account ing editorials and hundreds

of English III themes on the
subject of the average expense account in the
Bowdoin College Bulletins, it was a pleasant sur-
prise to read the absolutely fair and honest esti-
mate of Bowdoin student expenses in the new
bulletin just issued by the College. The former
estimates have been correct but incomplete and
thus unconsciously misleading. The present ac-
count is complete and accurate. But with the
blanket tax well on the road to success, the col-
lege estimate of expenses correct, what is the
poor editorial writer to do !

VESPER SERVICE FEB. 27

Alfred Edgar Burton, B.S., engineer and edu-
cator, speaker at the College Vesper service

COLLEGE PREACHER

The College Preacher for March 2 is to be Rev.
Robert Elliott Speer of New York City. Mr.
Speer graduated from Princeton University in
1889, after which he studied in the Theological
Seminary of that institution. Since 1891 he has
been secretary of the Presbyterian Board of For-
eign Missions. He made a tour of visitation of
the Christian missions in Persia, India, China,
Korea and Japan in 1896-7; and in South Amer-
ica in 1909. He is the author of a number of re-
ligious works. He will speak in the Church on
the Hill in the morning and evening, and in the
Chapel in the afternoon.

BASEBALL NEWS

Although the baseball season is some distance
away, Captain Skolfield of the baseball team has
expressed himself as well pleased with the pros-
pects for a successful team this year. In addi-
tion to the five veterans of last year's team, Dan-
iels '13, a veteran of the season before, has re-
turned to College.

The Freshmen who are taking cage work are
making a good showing, and it is more than prob-
able that there is some varsity material among
them. Coach Coogan is expected here March 28.

The greater part of the cage work has been
devoted to bunting, base-running and sliding.
The improvement among even the experienced
men has been noticed in this line. Joe Finneran,
the new track coach, said that the new cage is
the best in this part of the country, and that even
the baseball facilities at Yale are not equal to
those at Bowdoin.

SECOND VESPER SERVICE

The second vesper service was held Thursday,
Feb. 20, at 5 p. m. in the Chapel. Crowell '13 was
leader and Rev. John Quint gave the prayer and
Scripture reading. Professor Daniel Evans '92
of Andover Seminary spoke on "The Church and
Labor." In announcing the speaker in morning
chapel, Professor Mitchell, who was in college

with him, told of the respect and admiration Pro-
fessor Evans received from the students because
of his high character.

Professor Evans said the question of condi-
tions among the laboring people was the greatest
in the world, and by the influence of the church
alone could the huge laboring population be
brought to a life in harmony with the rest of the
people. "The Church is the great civilizing agent
of the modern world. Religion restrains the pas-
sions of men and directs them to good, but the
Church has been losing its hold on working peo-
ple. Man cannot worship alone and the type is
not the hermit now ; so the Church must gather
the people in. A few working people go to
church, some are antagonistic to the Church and
many are indifferent because they have found no
satisfaction in the common places of worship.
The reason for antagonism and indifference is
that in past history the Church has allied itself
with the rich against the poor, and the poor man
in his misery finds it hard to believe in a kind and
helping God. To understand the laboring man's
motives one must get into contact with his life.
The laboring man submits to the domination of
capital because he must support the family he
loves. He does not want charity but justice.
Justice will give him a fair share in what he
helps to produce. But man is not here only to
live; he is here for a life. True religion is the
supreme end of life, that transforms it and makes
it beautiful. The more prosperous should help
the working people on to real life. This can be
reached through the Church and in the Church
all people should join to praise God, know one
another and live."

INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET

Arrangements have practically been complet-
ed for the indoor interscholastic track meet
which is to be held in the new athletic building
March 15. In addition to the list of entries pub-
lished in last week's Orient, Edward Little High
of Auburn, Mexico High, and Dexter High have
entered. The program has been changed, but the
following events are now certain : 220, 440 and
880 yard runs, 40 yard dash, 45 yard hurdles, 12
pound shot put, high jump, broad jump, pole
vault, and relay races. The relay races as far as
arranged are : Deering vs. Portland. Hebron vs.
Coburn, and Morse vs. Lincoln.

A number of the officials will be College pro-
fessors who are interested in track work, among
them probably Dr. Whittier, and the rest will be
College track men.

All the events will take place on the floor. The

^14

BOWDOIN ORIENT

'board corners from the upper track will be low-
ered, and covered with three inches of clay. It
is thought that bleachers will be arranged on the

-floor rather than seats on the running track.

AN ALUMNI COUNCIL

The committee on the formation of an alumni
'council which met in Brunswick last month has
■ decided to report the following recommendations
at the meeting of the Alumni Association to be
held at Commencement, 1913:

"That it is advisable that an alumni council be
formed for the purpose of co-ordinating alumni
activities ; acting as representative of the alumni
influence and interests; having charge of the
various alumni associations ; securing for the
College desirable publicity ; securing loans for
needy undergraduates, and other funds for the
College; and in other ways striving to turn the
activities of the alumni into channels that will
produce the most desirable results for the Col-
lege.

"Such a council shall be composed of 12 mem-
bers; four members to be elected each year for
terms of three years ; at the start, elections to be
for one, two and three years.

"Election shall be by the alumni at large ; nom-
inations of at least twice the number of candi-
dates to be voted for shall be made by the com-
mittee appointed by the General Association, and
shall be sent out in May ; every alumnus shall be
eligible to vote.

"The council shall have power to employ a sec-
retary if necessary, and it is hoped to secure the
funds for such a purpose."

COLLEGE BULLETIN

The February number of the College Bulletin
deals with expenses of students, together with
scholarships, prizes and opportunities for self
help. In addition to the customary figures given
in the annual catalogue, the bulletin takes up per-
sonal expenses and sets the yearly expense to the
average student at $569.00. The lowest figure
set is $408.00 and the liberal is $771.00. These
personal expenses, which include clothes, amuse-
ments and fraternity dues, are taken from the
records of those men who have kept expense ac-
counts.

Over $10,000 in scholarships was awarded last
year to 138 students who had proved themselves
needy and deserving. These scholarships vary in
amount from $45.00 to $100.00, with an average
of about $75.00. The bulletin says: "Since all
scholarships are awarded on the basis of good
character, good scholarship and need, it would

be unfair to promise a scholarship in advance to
any one individual ; but anyone who is confident
of his ability to meet these three requirements
can promise one to himself."

Over $2,000.00 is paid annually to the 25 stu-
dents who are assistants, the amount varying
from $40.00 to $200.00. Another $1,000.00 is
available for students who do clerical work in the
Library and Dean's office. They are paid by the
hour and average from $50.00 to $80.00 each.
Still another $2,000.00 is paid student assistants
in the department of physical training for work
in the gymnasium and at the athletic field. The
individual earnings here range from $50.00 to
$200.00. It is estimated that in 1913 $1,500.00 of
this sum will go to men in the academical depart-
ment and $500.00 to men in the Medical School.

Prizes to the amount of more than $900.00 are
annually awarded to those students who excel in
any one branch of work. The highest of these is
the Smyth Mathematical Prize of $300.00.

According to the bulletin, outside work is di-
vided into the following principal classes : can-
vassing, working in banks, acting as car conduc-
tor, bell boy, time keeper, steamboat agent, clerk-
ing in hotels and stores, tutoring, typewriting,
selling night lunches, newspaper work, waiting
on table, managing book store. The Y. M. C. A.
conducts an employment agency which endeav-
ors to obtain positions for college men.

Moreover, the College aids its graduates to ob-
tain positions and it is estimated that over one-
half of each graduating class obtain positions
through recommendations of the College. Each
year the College receives more applications for
teachers than it is able to fill while many busi-
ness houses frequently offer important positions
to Bowdoin men.

In dealing with the value of a college educa-
tion, the bulletin says that the value of a college
education cannot be measured in money, but that
nevertheless, college men have an earning capac-
ity far greater than that of men of equal ability
who have not had the college education.

Club anO Council Sheetings

The first unofficial shoot of the Bowdoin Col-
lege Gun Club was held Friday afternoon on the
Brunswick traps. Ted Emery '13 was high gun
for the afternoon with 20 out of a possible 25.
The present plans are for a tournament, in which
efforts will be made to interest more men, as well
as to give the candidates practice for a probable
match with the University of Mains.

At a meeting of the Freshman class Thursday

BOWDOIN ORIENT

afternoon, the committee for the annual banquet
was elected as follows: Churchill, chairman,
Littlefkld, Noble, Edwards and D. White. Lead-
better was elected captain of the class track team
and Sayward, manager.

At a meeting of the Sophomore class Friday
afternoon, a committee was chosen to confer with
Prof. Wass with regard to the class sing. The
committee is composed of West, chairman, Card
and McKenney.

A meeting of the Ibis will be held this evening
at the Zeta Psi House. Professor Ham will
speak on "German Municipal Government."

2Dn tbe Campus

At the request of Dr. Whittier, Ellis Spear, Jr.,
a member of the Executive Committee of the Na-
tional Archery Association, is expected to visit
the College within two weeks for the purpose of
trying to interest Bowdoin men in archery. He.
will probably meet the fellows at a smoker, where
the formation of an archery club will be dis-
cussed.

Gen. Thomas Hamlin Hubbard and his daugh-
ter were on the campus Thursday, when Gen.
Hubbard for the first time went through the new
gymnasium.

''Cope" Philoon was on the campus Monday
and showed his usual "pep" at the smoker Mon-
day night. He is on a furlough of two months
and a half. While at his post in Montana, he
coached the football team of the University of
Montana last fall.

Don White '05 was also at the Monday smoker.

Norton '13 is confined to his room with the
grippe.

Proctor '16 has returned to the hospital for
treatment.

McWilliams '15 occupied the pulpit in the Epis-
copal Church at Lisbon Falls Sunday morning.

Twenty-two members of the Bowdoin Chapter
of Kappa Sigma attended the annual district con-
clave at Boston Feb. 21 and 22.

A large number of Bowdoin students will take
part in the production of "Brunswick ; an His-
torical Play," to be given in the Town Hall, Feb.
27. The play was written by Dr. Whittier and
Albert W. Tolman '88 of Portland. A number
of the scenes are closely connected with the Col-
lege and its history.

The following Freshmen are out for assistant
track manager: J. Baxter, W. Chase, R. Clark,
A. Crossman, L. Elliott and R. Little.

L. Donahue '14 pulled a tendon in his leg at the
meet last Saturday and will probably be out of

track work for a few days.

The Dramatic Club is now holding two or three
regular rehearsals every week. The members of
the cast are rapidly falling into the spirit of the
play, and if the rehearsals maintain their present
excellence, and are any indication to go by, then
the play this 'year will be one of the best ever put
on by the club.

Ct)e iii&rarp Ca&ie

In The Outlook of February 8 is an editorial
on a pamphlet written by E. Baldwin Smith '11
entitled "The Study of the History of Art."
This pamphlet should be of great value to the
prospective art student, as it gives the nature and
extent of the courses offered by the various col-
leges and universities. Out of the four hundred
institutions of learning where liberal arts are
taught, ninety-five give art history courses, but
only sixty-eight of these institutions give ade-
quate courses. Because of this only a compara-
tively small number of students in American in-
stitutions can have the privilege of thorough art
courses. To use the words of The Outlook, "This
is not as it should be. America is rapidly becom-
ing an art-loving nation. The appreciation of
works of art is not confined to connoisseurs. The
attendance at our art museums shows the spon-
taneous nature of a popular appreciation, and
this too of the very best works of art."

The most recent addition to the exchange col-
umn of the Orient is the Reed College Quest, a
fortnightly paper published by the students.
It does not make use of reformed spelling as so
many other Reed publications have done.

The Library is once again blessed by the acces-
sion of a work that ranks very high among pub-
lications of its kind. The seven volumes of An
American Bibliography, by Charles Evans, con-
stitutes a chronological dictionary of all books,
pamphlets, and periodical publications printed in
the United States from the genesis of printing in
1639 down to and including the year 1789.
A unique and extremely valuable feature of
• the work is the chronological arrangement of the
bibliography, which is better suited to reference
than is an alphabetical arrangement of authors.
The date is more important in bibliographical re-
search than is the grouping of the works of the
various authors, since the former shows the un-
derlying causes which evoked the publication of
the listed works. For those who desire it, how-
ever, an index of authors follows the main bib-
liography.

The new work is a great aid in literary and his-

2l6

BCWDOIN ORIENT

torical reference. Attached to each work in the
bibliography, is an Evans serial number, which
can be used instead of an . inconveniently long
titular reference. Then, too, almost every entry
is followed by reference to one or more of the
well-known libraries where copies of the book
mentioned can be procured.

There are other useful features of this new
bibliography. It gives the auction values of the
books; and offers a classified subject-index. The
list of printers and publishers is likewise of bib-
liographical interest and importance.

The Youths' Companion of January 18 repro-
duces on its cover an excellent picture of the new
Bowdoin gymnasium and contains a complete de-
scription of both the gymnasium proper and the
Thomas Worcester Hyde Athletic Building.

SntercoUegiate jQotes

At the annual banquet of the Williams College
alumni in Boston recently an alumni council was
proposed.

Two cups for the winners in a kicking contest
have recently been offered by a sophomore so-
ciety at the University of Maine.

The Bates Student, which was formerly a

It is the plan of the Board to retain the features
of the former publication in an enlarged edition
once a month.

Students at the University of Pennsylvania
have been granted a reduction in rates for the

'43- — One of Bowdoin's oldest graduates,
Charles Wendell Porter, passed away January
27th at his home in Washington, D. C, after an
illness of but two days. Much of his life had

been spent in the West where he attained promi-
nence in the railroad world. Mr: Porter was
born May I, 1823 at Machias, Me. He' received
an A.M. degree from this college in 1846 and also
graduated from Harvard Law School. After
practicing law in his native town for seven years,
he went to St. Louis where for three years he was
engaged in business. Returning to Machias he
remained there for seven years and then again
went West, this time to Batavia, 111. He entered
the railway business and for six years was land
commissioner of the Chicago, St. Paul and Min-
neapolis Railroad, later becoming secretary of
corporation. From 1878 until 1902 he made his
home at Hudson, Wis. In the latter year he went
to Washington, D. C, where after a short period
of legal success, he retired from active life. At
the time of his death Mr. Porter was 89 years of
age.

'86. — While traveling in Egypt, Charles Whit-
comb Tuttle, one of Bowdoin's most loyal alumni,
died at Alexandria last week. Mr. Tuttle was a
native of Hancock, N. H. Two years after his
graduation he received the degree of A.M. from
this college and later did post-graduate work at
Gottingen and Freiburg. For a time he was a
prominent chemist at San Francisco but of late
his home has been at Colusa, Cal. Mr. Tuttle was
a deep student and attained considerable success
in his chosen field of chemistry. His wife and
daughter were with him when he died. He is also
survived by three sons, one of whom, Curtis Tut-
tle of our present senior class, has just completed
his course of study. Mr. Tuttle was well-known
in Brunswick where he has many relatives and is
a frequent visitor.

'05. — One of the very successful of our younger
alumni, Rev. J. Edward Newton, will assume the
pastorate of the Rockland Congregational Church
March 1st. Mr. Newton is a most remarkable
scholar. While in college he won prizes in Amer-
ican History and Political Science; was selected
for a Commencement part ; graduated summa
cum laude ; and made Phi Beta Kappa. During
his undergraduate days, he also won a prize in a
competition open to all college men, his success-
ful thesis being "The Effect of the Trusts on the
Working Man." He also obtained an A.M. from
Yale in 1906. Mr. Newton has occupied pastor-
ates at Jewett City, Conn., and at New Haven.

e enters upon his new field with the best wishes
of all Bowdoin men and a host of other friends.

'12. — Harrison Carter Chapman of Portland
was married to Miss Virginia Woodbury of
Brunswick, Saturday, Feb. 15, at the First Parish
Church of Brunswick.

BRUNSWICK. MAINE, MARCH 3, 1913

NO. 27

Professor Henry Leland Chapman

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT HYDE
AT THE FUNERAL OF PROFESSOR CHAPMAN.

No words can heighten the esteem or deepen
the affection we all feel for Professor Chapman.
Any attempt to add would but subtract. Yet
while he needs no tribute we can pay, we need to
learn a lesson he can teach.

He was more admired and loved than any man
in our College and community. What was there
about him that won this universal admiration and
affection? To answer, "his gracious manner, his
sweet nature, his charming personality" is but to
hide the light of his life behind vague phrases.
So hidden it is largely lost. For these qualities
cannot be copied successfully. The only way to
transfer them from one life to another is to dis-
cover and transplant their root.

The root of Professor Chapman's character
was the wholeness of the man. Most of us are
but half -men. If we have spiritual aspirations,
they are without fit secular expression. That is
one kind of half-man. Or, if we are effective in

sports and studies, and practical affairs, we have
no deep spiritual purpose out of which they
spring and by which they are held together. That
is the other kind of half-man. Professor Chap-
man was a whole man : his spiritual purpose fitly
expressed in secular activity ; his secular and so-
cial activity firmly united to his spiritual pur-
pose; so there was no seam or gap where the one
left off and the other began.

It was so in his student days. Some men can
play ball, or write graceful verse, or edit a
humorous publication. Other men can lead in
religious life and work. Of late years the union
of these two sides of life in the same person is
becoming common. We understand that the man
who does either alone is only a half-man. Fifty
years ago the union of these two sides in the
same person was far more rare. The man who
specialized in either the secular or the spiritual
was hardly expected to be strong on the other
side. Professor Chapman specialized in both; or.
rather united them in one, as our strongest col-
lege men do today. He was the senior editor of
the Bugle, class odist and poet, pitcher of the
nine, and president of the Praying Circle, the
predecessor of the Christian Association.

The same difference between the half-man and
the whole man comes out in mature, practical
life. There are half-men who find it easier to
pray than to work ; who are more adept in the
worship of God than in the service of society or
the help of their fellowmen. There are other
half-men who plunge effectively into business,
politics, society, philanthropy, without any deep,
strong, central purpose to make these pursuits
express the justice, the kindness and the love of
God. Professor Chapman was the zealous and
devout deacon of the church and the impartial
and courteous moderator of the town meeting.
Out of his daily prayer and weekly worship in
the house of God came a smile for every little
child upon the street ; tenderness in the home
circle; geniality in society; fidelity as chairman
of the school committee, trustee of Bangor Semi-
nary and the State Normal Schools; devotion to
the town library, the town and state historical
societies, and the Village Improvement Associa-
tion; enthusiasm in teaching his favorite books
and authors, which in spite of failing health he

2l8

BOWDOIN ORIENT

clung to till the very end. How inspiringly he
taught I chanced to see some years ago. Unex-
pected I came quietly upon two Bowdoin under-
graduates in the churchyard at Grasmere. They
were not literary lights ; simply ordinary, rollick-
ing Bowdoin boys. Yet they were standing si-
lent, with bowed heads, in the attitude of deepest
reverence, by the grave of William Wordsworth.
It was no less a tribute to the teacher than to the
poet. To induce that mood in young men, after
the course had been given and the examination
passed, is to teach English Literature to good and
lasting purpose. His own beautiful English style,
the finished form of all he said and did, flowed
quietly, inevitably, from a mind and heart in
rhythmic harmony with God's truth and beauty
which he was ever seeking to portray. The
warmth of his friendship, the loyalty of his de-
votion to community, seminary, and College, the
eager interest with which he followed the prog-
ress of his students through their college course
and on into the struggle of professional and bus-
iness life, was one more illustration of how his
love of God flowed over into love of man, making
courtesy and kindliness "the simple offspring of
the common day."

I forbear to dwell upon the irreparable loss to
sister, brother, son, daughter and grand children,
to whom he had filled the dear names of brother,
father and grandfather with a peculiarly sweet
and sacred meaning. The town suspends its cus-
tomary business to mourn its foremost citizen.
The College can never hope to find in these days
of hurried professional preparation another who
like him has gradually grown into the love of let-
ters through the lifelong effort to satisfy his own
soul's hunger for truth of thought and feeling,
and beauty of form and phrase ; and who like him
can hand on the torch of learning glowing with
the joy of personal appreciation.

The sense of personal loss felt by the students
has been so well expressed by one of their own
number, that with his permission I shall read
what he wrote on the announcement of Professor
Chapman's death, and the suspension of exer-
cises on Monday.

A voice has spoken, and the Chapel bell
Is silent. The morning air all sunshine,
Cold and clear, hears not the sound ■
Of wonted daily life. No Sabbath hush
Is this, but something more: a restless rest,
A questioning, half-groping doubt that creeps
Into the mind and robs it of its joy
And gives in place a saddened wonderment,
The wonderment a finished duty gives
That nobly to the end, without complaint,
Has moved and glorified each day.

Too soon, too near is death for this our life
To feel and know the loss, although the lip
May say. For only time that whispers in
The heart can make us see the vacancy.
The calmful joy, the loving word, the smile,
The consecration of each daily task
All live, and shall until for us
The air be hushed and still forevermore.

— Edward O. Baker.
Not alone the sad sense of what we have lost,
but the glad assurance of what both he and we
retain, would we carry with us from this hour ; —
the blessed memory of a life that has achieved
Goethe's aspiration to be "all there" in every duty
and relationship; a life that has nobly fulfilled
the prayer of Socrates, "Give me beauty in the
inward man, and may the outer and inner be at
one ;" a life that has justified the praise bestowed
by the Master of Balliol College on its most be-
loved fellow and tutor, "He loved great things,
and thought little of himself; desiring neither
fame nor influence, he won the devotion of men
and was a power in their lives : and, seeking no
disciples, he taught to many the greatness of the
world and of man's mind."

HENRY LELAND CHAPMAN
We do not choose for our admiration these or
those qualities in a gifted friend. So, in recall-
ing • some of my own indebtedness to a good
friend that I have lost, the result is but a scanty
record of impressions, so imperfect in number
and in quality that I should hesitate, if life itself
were any better than a fragment.

My first memory is of a college tutor, exact in
scholarship, somehow a little more human than a
professor, but after all a part of a dreaded sys-
tem that we students contemplated as a mysteri-
ous measuring-machine. This belief was false
enough to the fact, as I know from later contact
with Bowdoin College teachers. I associated
then no thought of happiness in one's business or
joy in scholastic living with the good men who
taught us on the hard benches before them. This
came certainly in part from the dullness of
youth, having to deal with only a few of the
facts. The old regime trained one of its finest
servants in the man who was destined also to be a
master in the new. The theological training that
he had received he repaid with manifold interest
to the school that had taught him. We who were
young heard him as a preacher always with profit
from his soundness and clearness of mind, and
with rare delight in his manner that was fault-
less. In fact, I have almost never heard him,
when expressing himself with deliberation, with-
out a sense of personal literary discouragement.
He set such value on any occasion of dealing

BOWDOIN ORIENT

219

with his fellows that he was incapable of care-
lessness.

No one familiar with Brunswick during the
first half of Professor Chapman's long period of
teaching could omit from his thought the share of
Mrs. Chapman in the intellectual life of the lit-
tle college community. Those who were privi-
leged to know her appreciated somewhat both
the charm and strength of her gracious person-
ality and her eager and penetrating knowledge
of the essential qualities of literature. The sense
of his irreparable loss of such companionship for
the last two decades of his life was sacredly
veiled from the gaze of others.

The breadth of his interests was fostered by
certain peculiarities of the ideal training of old
as the base of fitness for work as a college
teacher. The ministerial education which he re-
ceived in the three years immediately following
his graduation from college prepared him to rep-
resent the interests of the denomination in the
pulpits which he served as occasional demands
were made. On his appointment to college ser-
vice directly after his seminary graduation, he
was given the beginning, lowest grade, that of
tutor in Latin and Mathematics. In three years
he was made Professor of Latin ; he remained
three years more in this chair and was then trans-
ferred to the work in English. The scope which
-his new field offered was especially congenial in
its further challenge to him in the development
of his native gift of style. It relieved him from
the temptation, almost deemed a necessity, to in-
dulge the versatility on which the older educa-
tional theories placed a premium. His predilec-
tions did not prevent his generous attention to
the whole of the vast field that it was his duty to
survey, considered as a unit among the literatures
of the world. He was too sane to be a literary
worshipper; that he was great-minded and great-
souled enough to appreciate Shakespeare and
Milton was no surprise to his friends. His
marked gifts of the light touch and of a certain
playful tenderness in dealing with social human-
ity made him enjoy heartily and expound wisely
the Chaucer of the Prologue and Robert Burns.
His musical temperament and the Augustan fin-
ish of his own work, especially in his mature
years, were conditions that accompanied natural-
ly his admiration of Tennyson. His college work
included, of course, constant exemplification of
what literature is and what it is for; but it may
be doubted if its finest qualities were ever illus-
trated by him more effectively and touchingly
than in his very recent rendering to his fortunate
hearers of Crossing the Bar.

True spirit, from thy mortal earth released
Thou answeredst the call of grace;
For thee the waiting of the world has ceased,
Thou gazest tearless in her face.

Fair spirit, who hast seen reflected here

The passing beauty of the truth,

Thine eyes are scanning Heaven's glorious sphere

Resplendent in unchanging youth.

Just spirit, who hast seen thy God as law
Indwelling in the things of sense,
Thou bringest nearer, loving yet in awe,
Thy worship of obedience.

Fare outward on eternal things intent,

God's scholar as our teacher sent,

Our better lives thy mortal monument.

— Henry Johnson.
THE ALUMNI

The following sonnet, written by Charles W.
Snow '07, was published in the Quill of January,
1912:

TO h. l. c.
I shall not wait until the accents sweet
Of his dear Master summon him away
To where the night shines brightly as the day
Before I lay my tribute at his feet :
Within that face what strength and beauty meet !
In those gray eyes what kindly lights at play !
Within that voice what gentleness alway, !
And on that soul how glows the word complete !
Loved Chapman, who for more than forty years
Hast magnified the noble teacher's place,
And won the love of thousands by thy life,
Enshrined within the secret place of tears
And symbolizing Bowdoin's richest grace
Thy heart brings calm refreshment to our strife.

HENRY LELAND CHAPMAN

Hail and farewell ! we've barely time to greet
Our dearest friends, so urgent is our haste ;
It seems we have so little time to waste

In further talk with those whom we may meet

By chance upon the busy, crowded street.
Both of us over-worked and eager-paced,
Some sudden memory is quick retraced,

Then sorrowful leave-taking we repeat.

Hail and farewell ! — these words together lie
Upon our lips, yet stands at either pole
Of Thought's extended sphere — one springing
from

Glad heart of joy as an exultant cry,

The other sadly pressed from heart of dole,
To all that lies between, our lips are dumb.

As a mark of the deep sor-
Professor Chapman row felt by the College in the

death of her beloved teacher,
this number of the Orient is dedicated to the
memory of Professor Chapman. The tributes
from faculty, alumni and undergraduates fittingly
express the sorrow at the loss of Bowdoin' s fore-
most professor, and emphasize the sterling
qualities which made up Professor Chapman's
character. May the College, taking example
from his life, strive to develop men as worthy of
the name as the friend and counsellor we have
lost.

THE FACULTY

I know of no man in Brunswick whose death
would be more keenly felt by the whole com-
munity, and of no graduate of Bowdoin whose
passing would cause sorrow more universal and
sincere. A large majority of the living alumni
have been his pupils, the rest almost to a man
have known him well for many years, and all
without exception have had for Professor Chap-
man respect and honor and genuine affection.
His intimate acquaintance with the life of the
College for half a century, his deep interest in all
that concerns the welfare of town, state, and na-
tion, his clear discrimination of excellence and
his high ideals in literature and in life, his opin-
ions and judgments always positive and frank
and always expressed with a fine consideration
for others, and his kindly, sympathetic and genial
spirit in all his relations with his fellows, made
him an invaluable counselor and coworker in

College, church and town, and in the wider in-
terests to which he was devoted. It was a de-
light to work with him. It is a blessing to have
known him. For he was open as the day, genial
as spring sunshine, a pure and noble soul, with-
out fear and without reproach. We are all in
deep sorrow because we shall see his face no
more.

Frank E. Woodruff.

In the death of Professor Chapman Bowdoin
College has met with an irreparable loss. For
more than forty years he has been a loved
teacher in the college. With keenness and humor,
with sympathy and eloquence and learning, he
has interpreted to Bowdoin students the vital
truths and the noble sentiments of a great litera-
ture. He has been able to bind together college
boys and great books by the ties of understanding
and interest and admiration. His students have
looked up to him with pride. Reading his chaste
English and hearing his cultured voice, they have
been proud of him as a writer and as a speaker.
But far more than that, they have been able to
know something of the genuineness and the kind-
liness of his heart, and have felt the gracious in-
fluence of his winning personality. They have
seen in him a true gentleman and have loved him
as a personal friend.

— Wilmot B. Mitchell.

A marked characteristic of Professor Chap-
man was his wide range of interests. His fond-
ness for athletics is one of the many evidences of
this. From his undergraduate days, when he was.
the pitcher of the Bowdoin nine through the rest
of his life he maintained his interest in the ath-
letic affairs of the College. One of his last works
for the College, outside the class-room was the
writing of the memorial tablet to General Hyde,
in whose memory the Athletic Building was
given.

THE FRATERNITY

The grievous loss which the College has sus-
tained in the death of Professor Henry Leland
Chapman is felt with peculiar keenness by his
brothers in Alpha Delta Phi, by alumnus and
undergraduate alike. He knew us all. Every
surviving member of the Chapter has felt the
pressure of that warm right hand, and cherishes
the memory of his genial smile. His interest in
them began as soon as they were pledged, and
lasted through life.

Sadly as we shall all miss him, the loss is
greatest to the active Chapter of which he was
the wise counsellor, as well as a loving father to
every member. He was a typical illustration of
that which has sometimes been held to be an in-
congruity— a man full to overflowing with col-
lege spirit and loyalty, commanding the love and
admiration of every present and past student in
the institution, and yet a strong and devoted fra-
ternity man. The spirit that animated him when
he wrote one of the songs which we all most de-
light to sing, was characteristic of him to the end
of his life. Hereafter it will be with loving and
tender thoughts of him who wrote the words,
that we sing that

"the sweet perfume
Of that holy friendship lingers
'Round each brother's tomb."

THE CONFERENCE

GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS

The beneficiaries of the graduate scholarships
for this year were announced yesterday after-
noon. Alfred Henry Sweet received the Henry
W. Longfellow Graduate Scholarship and Paul
Howard Douglas was awarded the Charles Car-
roll Everett Scholarship. Douglas will special-
ize in Economics and Sociology at Columbia Uni-
versity. Sweet will take work in English Litera-
ture at Harvard.

Sweet entered Bowdoin at the beginning of
College a year ago. He has been prominently
identified with various activities in student life
and was recently winner of the '68 Prize Speak-
ing Contest. Douglas has been vitally connected
with undergraduate activities during his whole
course here and has held many positions of prom-
inence. He was largely responsible for the form-
ation of the Bowdoin Club last spring, and as
chairman of the Board of Managers has success-
fully and efficiently organized the blanket tax
system at Bowdoin. In Economics and Sociology
he has been very successful and was winner of
the Noyes Political Prize as well as several de-
bating prizes. He is well known athletically by

The Fifth Annual Maine State Students' Y.
M. C. A. Conference was held at Bowdoin Feb-
ruary 28 and March I and 2. Colleges and pre-
paratory schools alike were represented and it
is estimated that nearly 200 delegates were in
Brunswick.

The entire student body extended a cordial
welcome to the visitors, and the townspeople
also welcomed the delegates from other schools,
and entertained them at their homes.

The opening service was held Friday evening
in the Church on the Hill. It was the good for-
tune of the students and delegates to hear Hon.
Carl E. Milliken, president of the Maine Senate,
a graduate of Bates College, who said, in brief,
that after a man graduates from college, it is
not what he knows but what he is that shapes
his life, and that college men should go forth to
make Christian communities. The future of the
country depends upon these college men of to-
day and they should return to civilization the
debt that they owe it.

Mr. Harrison S. Elliott, Bible Study Secretary
of the Student Department of the International
Y. M. C. A., spoke upon the light in which col-
lege men are beginning to see religion, and of the
effect that this religion has upon the colleges and
students. The colleges are not determined by the
catalogue and faculty but by the students them-
selves. The Young Men's Christian Association
is a band of men who want this school or that to
take its model from the life of Jesus Christ. They
are practicing every day, efficient religion.

Immediately after the close of the opening ser-
vice, the meeting adjourned to Memorial Hall,
where a reception was given to the visiting dele-
gates by the Bowdoin Y. M. C. A. Here refresh-
ments were served and delegates were given an
opportunity to meet those from other schools.
Cheers for all the schools were given and then
acting Dean McConaughy on behalf of the Col-
lege, welcomed the visitors.

the reception follow :

Saturday's session was begun with a meeting
in the Congregational Church. A resolutions
committee of five was elected as follows : Owen
of Colby, chairman, Andrews of Hebron, Mona-
hon of the University of Maine, Knight of Bates
and Skofield of Ricker. The following commit-
tee on credentials and registration was elected to
report the number of men from each school, to-
gether with the faculty members: C. A. Brown
'14 of Bowdoin, chairman, Moulton of Bates,
Bailey of Kent's Hill, Horton of Springfield and
Hussey of Oak Grove.

The official invitation of Colby to hold the con-
ference there next year was cordially and warm-
ly accepted. Steps were taken to complete as
early as possible the details of next year's meet-
ing, and a committee composed of the presidents
of the student Y.M.C.A.'s and the two general
secretaries was chosen to arrange the date, pro-
gram and simdar matters.

The college delegates remained in the church
proper, while the preparatory school men met in
the vestry. One of the features of the morning ses-
sion was the model cabinet meeting, supposed to
be a session of the cabinet of the Y. M. C.A. of
Oshkosh University, Oshkosh, Mich. Reports of
various committees were read, and a number of
important matters were discussed in such a man-
ner as to show the visiting delegates the proper
method of procedure.

At 11.30 President Hyde spoke to all the dele-
gates, saying in part that the Y.M.C.A. has been
of great benefit to Bowdoin, and since its estab-
lishment, it has taken upon itself a great part of
the College discipline. But the Y.M.C.A. finds its
origin in the Church, and students should not
forget the Church, but should give to it their time
and efforts and it will repay their labors many
times.

After the regular sessions of Saturday after-
noon, the delegates were given an opportunity to
make a sight-seeing tour of the campus. In the
new gymnasium, there were games and athletic
events in which the visitors took part.

tatives, Colby had 20 and Maine four. The dele-
gates were warm in their praise of the way that
■ the conference was conducted and all enjoyed
their stay at Old Bowdoin. The meetings accom-
plished their purpose in arousing interest and en-
thusiasm in the work of the Christian Associa-
tions and showed to many who have not hitherto
taken an interest in the work what the Associa-
tion stands for and the good it does.

'66.— Professor Henry Leland Chapman, D.D.,
LL.D., over 40 years a member of the faculty of

Bowdoin College, died of Bright's disease at his
home early Monday morning, February 24, after
an illness of some months. Professor Chapman
was himself a Bowdoin graduate and in his work
as professor here he was regarded with the same
feeling of comradeship that he had while a stu-
dent.

He was born in Bethel, Maine, July 26, 1845,
the son of Elbridge Chapman and Delinda Twit-
chell (Kimball) Chapman. His preparatory
schools were Gould Academy and Gorham Semi-
nary ; he entered Bowdoin in the fall of 1862.

While at College, Professor Chapman showed
those characteristics that marked him as a man
of exceptional ability. He was for four years
pitcher of the varsity baseball team and was a
member of the boat crew, but he did not allow
his work in athletics to interfere with his studies
and at his graduation in 1866 he received Phi
Beta Kappa honors. He was also a member of
the Bowdoin Cornet Band, a member of the
Chapel choir, and president of the Bowdoin Pray-
ing Circle, — the foundation of the present Chris-
tion Association. He was Senior Editor of the
Bugle, was class poet during his first and last
years at Bowdoin and was odist at the first Ivy
Day in 1865. Indeed, he is generally credited
with being the founder of the Ivy Day exercises.
He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fra-
ternity and always took an active interest in the
Bowdoin Chapter.

After his graduation, Professor Chapman, then
Mr. Chapman, studied for three years at the Ban-
gor Theological Seminary and was graduated
from that institution in 1869. Returning to Bow-
doin, he became tutor in Latin and Mathematics,
and a year later, in 1870, he was promoted to the
position of instructor in Latin. During this year,
he married Emma Caroline Smith of Gorham,
who died June 14, 1892. In 1872, Professor
Chapman was made professor of Latin and three
years later he was elected professor of rhetoric,
oratory and the English language. In 1880 he
was made Edward Little professor in the same
courses, a position that he held until 1897, when
the courses of that professorship were divided,
Wilmot B. Mitchell becoming the Edward Little
professor of rhetoric and oratory and Professor
Chapman taking the new department of English
Literature, a chair especially suited to him, and
indeed especially created for him, for his natural
abilities in the field of English language made
him particularly capable in teaching that course.
He had an especial gift for memorizing poetry
and frequently in the course of his lectures he
would stop and recite poem after poem from the

224

BOWDOIN ORIENT

works of Burns, Byron, Scott, Coleridge, Words-
worth, Tennyson and Browning, to illustrate the
point made in his remarks.

Professor Chapman's well known talent for in-
teresting and instructive teaching made his
classes always well filled and a large percentage
of the college men studied under him for at least
a portion of their college terms. From 1883 to
1885, after the resignation of General Joshua L.
Chamberlain from the presidency of the college.
Professor Chapman was elected Dean. It was at
that time that Bowdoin first began her expansion
that has placed her among the leading colleges of
the country, and it is in no small measure due to
his efforts during this time that the College was
started on its road to success.

After his retiring from the position of Dean he
became trustee of the Bangor Theological Semi-
nary, a position that he has held ever since,
and from 1887 until 191 1, he served as presi-
dent of the Board. He has been a trustee of
the Bangor Theological Seminary for the past 22
years ; he has also been a trustee of Bridgton
Academy, of the Maine Missionary Society and
of the Maine Bible Society. He was a member
of the Maine Historical Society and has served
as vice-president of that organization.

In 1869 Bowdoin conferred on Professor
Chapman the degree of A.M., pro merito. This
was followed by the degree of D.D. in 1890 and
the degree of LL.D. in 1908.

On July 25, 1886, he delivered the poem "Ubi
Sunt ?" written for the twentieth anniversary of
his class. In 1893 he gave a lecture on conser-
vatism at the graduation exercises of the Maine
Medical School and in 1895 he delivered an his-
torical address at the seventy-fifth anniversary
of the Bangor Theological Seminary. When the
Carnegie Library was dedicated at Good Will
Farm, Professor Chapman was called upon to
make an address, and again in 1907, at the 300th
anniversary of the landing of the first English
settlers in New England, at Pemaquid, he was
asked to speak. Only last year he was mentioned
as a possible candidate for Governor of the State.
He has written a number of sonnets, many of
them well known not only to Bowdoin men, but
also to readers of good literature, and he also
wrote "Onward Bowdoin," a rally song.

His perception in problems of the College was
equalled by his ability to understand and solve
problems of his town and for many years he was
elected without opposition chairman of the
Brunswick town meeting. Even in the days be-
fore Brunswick assumed its present proportions
and was simply a small country settlement, Pro-
fessor Chapman became influential in village af-

fairs and was chairman of the Board of Agents
for the Village District and soon afterward
chairman "of the School Committee. He was
president of the Pejepscot Historical Society,
was a charter member of the Public Library As-
sociation and for several years was a member
of the executive committee and president of the
Village Improvement Association. At the cele-
bration of the 150th anniversary of the incorpo-
ration of the Town of Brunswick, he was chosen
poet of the occasion.

Although Professor Chapman had studied for
the ministry and had received the degree of Doc-
tor of Divinity in 1890, he refused several calls
to the pastorate of prominent churches.

The fact that his services to the College were
appreciated by his fellow members of the faculty
was shown by the reception and banquet tendered
to him May 8, 1909, in honor of his 40 years of
service at Bowdoin.

The announcement of Professor Chapman's
death after a life of usefulness to Bowdoin men
for more than a generation was indeed a blow,
not only to those students of the present time,
but also to those graduates of years past. Many
of the alumni of the College, men busy with the
work of life, took the time to come to Bruns-
wick to pay their last tribute to the man whom
they knew and loved as student or professor, but
always as a comrade.

Preceding the funeral were prayers at the
house for the members of the immediate family.
The funeral, Wednesday afternoon, from the
First Congregational Church, of which Profes-
sor Chapman was a deacon and devoted member,
was conducted by Rev. John Hastings Quint, as-
sisted by Dr. William DeWitt Hyde, who pro-
lounced the eulogy, and by President David S.
Beach of Bangor Theological Seminary.

The Trustees and Overseers were represented'
by Edward Stanwood '61, Weston Lewis '70,
Franklin C. Payson '76, Galen C. Moses '57,.
Clarence Hale '69, Addison E. Herrick '73, Au-
gustus F. Moulton '73, John A .Morrill '76,

Verd R. Leavitt, James P. Philoon, Frederick S.
Wiggin, George F. Eaton, Arthur S. Pratt, Earle
S. Thompson and Robert T. Weatherill, all mem-
bers of Professor Chapman's fraternity of Alpha
Delta Phi.

The interment was in Pine Grove Cemetery.
The hearse was preceded by the students march-
ing in order of classes. There was a brief com-
mittal service by the Rev. Mr. Quint.

NO. 28

INDOOR INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET

On March 15 a new era in Maine interscholas-
tic athletics will be opened by the occurrence of
the Bowdoin College Interscholastic Indoor
Meet. The success of the meet is already in-
sured, both by the large number of entries and
by the general interest shown throughout the
schools of the State. Already 23 schools have
signified their intention of competing, and are:
Brunswick, Camden, Coburn, Cony, Deering,
Dexter, Edward Little, Farmington, Freeport,
Gardiner, Hallowell. Hebron, Kent's Hill,
Leavitt, Lewiston, Lincoln, M. C. I., Mexico,
Morse, Portland. Rockland and VVestbrook.
These 23 schools are to send 150 contestants and
in many cases a number of supporters. Every
school except Mexico and Westbrook is planning
to send a relay team, and these teams will be
matched up with the purpose of furnishing the
best possible race in each case.

The relays will be run off on a 1 10-yard packed
clay track on the floor of the Athletic Building.
Long spikes may be used on this floor. The 40-
yard dash and the 45-yard high hurdles will be
run across the floor. This track will be also of
packed clay.

The bleachers will be under the board running
track and will extend along the two sides of the
building. The big net will be raised to the track
so that a clear view of the entire course may be
had from every seat.

Individual cups of silver and bronze will be
given to each member of every winning relay
team. The medals for first, second and third
places in the track and field events will be of
silver, bronze and ribbon, and will be from the
same die as the outdoor medals except that on
the reverse side will be the words "Indoor Meet."

The championship trophy is a large wooden
panel finished in green. In the center of this is a
runner clearing a hurdle, and under the hurdle is
a wreath of olive. Below the wreath is a large
silver plate engraved with the words "Bowdoin
College Interscholastic Indoor Meet." Arranged
below this large plate are five smaller ones, on
which will be engraved the name of the winning
school each year. The school winning the great-

est number of times in five years will have per-
manent possession of the trophy.

Every effort is being made to secure an ex-
cellent list of officials. At present the tentative
list is as follows :

BRADBURY DEBATES

As a result of the Bradbury Prize Debates held
March 5 and 6 in Memorial Hall, the following
have been retained as intercollegiate debaters :
Bacon '15, Crosby '13, Douglas '13, Gage '14,
Sweet '13, Wish '13, with Norton '13 and Talbot
'15, alternates. The team consisting of Crosby
'13, C. G. Abbott '13 and Douglas '13 won first
prizes and the team made up of Wish '13, Coffin
'15 and Sweet '13 won second award. From
those who have been chosen, two teams of three
speakers and one alternate each will be chosen
to represent Bowdoin in the triangular debate
with Hamilton College and Wesleyan University
on April 10.

N. E. ORATORICAL CONTEST

The annual contest of the New England Ora-
torical League will be Thursday, May 1, at Wes-
leyan. Five colleges, Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown,
Williams and Wesleyan, are in the league. Each
college sends one man. Bowdoin's speaker has
not yet been chosen, but trials will be held about
the first of April. In the three meetings of the

league, Bowdoin has won twice, Earl Baldwin
Smith in 191 1 and Arthur Deehan Welch in 1912
being the Bowdoin winners.

THE INDOOR MEET

March 25 has been definitely decided as the
date of the Interclass Indoor Meet. Besides the
usual events several extra features are being
planned. Efforts are being made to have Colby
and Bates represented at the meet by relay teams,
and this year the Medical School will compete as
a unit.

One of the best features of the meet this year
is that it will be run on the dirt floor of the Ath-

SUNDAY CHAPEL

At Sunday Chapel, President Hyde spoke on
the true democracy. He said in part that poli-
tics as such do not enter into the schools and col-
leges, but that with the inauguration of Wood-
row Wilson, all schools and colleges should real-
ize that there has come into the presidency a man
who is a democrat not merely politically, socially
and industrially, a man who is the greatest col-
lege reformer since President Eliot. No college
has gone so far in that democracy of Woodrow
Wilson's as has this College here, and when a
college does have the wider sense of democratic
spirit, it has Christianity. President Wilson says,
"The great voice of America does not come from
the seats of learning but from the mountains,. . .
and farms,. . .and mills." So we must train our-
selves to be true helpers. Then we are true
democrats ; but if we train ourselves to get some-
thing better than the other, if we consider our-
selves a class then we have no part in democracy
and are cast out from the kingdom of Christ.
Democracy in this sense is synonomous with
Christianity and we ought to rejoice that a man
who is a democrat in the broadest sense of the
word has entered into the highest office of the
land, if not the world.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS SCORED

The following clipping from an article by Dr.
McCracken of U. of Pennsylvania is typical of
the spirit of the discussion at the recent meeting
of the N. C. A. A. held in New York. It is
worthy the attention of every college man :

"The evils of college athletics may be enumer-
ated as follows :

"1. The standard of performance is raised so
high that the ordinary student, realizing that he
is hopelessly outclassed, gives up playing the
game that he would otherwise enjoy and that
should be kept within his reach.

"2. The competitor is elevated and separated
into a special class apart from his fellows, requir-
ing separate quarters, special diet and consequent
privileges to make the drudgery less irksome.

"3. The publicity that accompanies the con-
tests puts them into the class of public spectacles
for which spectators pay to see, and so acquire
certain rights over the players, who become mere
performers. Pressure is thus brought to bear on
athletic authorities and rules committees to con-
sider the spectator rather than the man for whom
the game should be designed.

"4. The winning of the game becomes more
important than the observance of the spirit of the
law and the practice of fair play. It is the pro-
fessional motive, which is gain, replacing the
amateur motive, which is the thrill of the con-
test."

"Every true sport insists upon fairness and
justice for its opponents," declares Dr. Mc-
Cracken. "Anything which has a smattering of
unfairness is frowned down, and yet many of the
athletic associations of this country send scouts
to spy out the style of game played by their op-
ponents. In some instances a few important sig-
nals may be picked up and used to good advan-
tage. Because of this system of spying among
the Eastern schools, practically all large institu-
tions are forced to do most of their football train-
ing behind closed gates. The students of the in-
stitution and friends of the members of the team
are not admitted unless they can give the pass-
word. What an absurd development of college
sports in a free country where students enter
sports for the love of the game.

"Another condition equally deplorable," says
Dr. McCracken, "a sin of omission rather than
commission, exists at most of our large colleges.
That is a condition whereby teams play against
each other year after year and no members of
the team except the line men are given an oppor-
tunity for even a meeting acquaintance. A great
football player who had been out of the game for
ten or twelve years was asked this question : 'How
many men you played against in college do you
now know socially?' After thinking for some
time, he said : 'Three ; but two of these are dead.'

"From an ethical standpoint we believe the six
following conditions are desirable in order that
each athlete may, while in college, receive the
best preparation for his life after graduating:
(1) A close supervision of all sports by the in-
stitution; (2) a hearty approval of athletics by all
faculty members; (3) a classification of all
schools according to eligibility requirements;
(4) all athletic instructors responsible to the in-
stitution and considered officers of the same; (5)
only men of good clean lives and high moral stan-
dards employed as athletic instructors; (6) a
social system which will tend to create friendship
between competitors of various teams."

Publicity

At the last meeting of the
Student Council it was in-
formally decided that all its
deliberations, unless secrecy was especially de-
manded, should be made public in the Orient.
Another step in advance! This action on the
part of the Council cannot help but retain for it
that confidence of the student body which it has
enjoyed in the past and will also result, we hope,
in a more lively interest on the part of the stu-
dent body in the questions that come before their
chosen representatives.

It is the plan of the baseball
Second Team management to have a well

organized second team which
is to practice on the Delta, play the first team
regularly, and also play a schedule of games
with outside teams. The series of interfraternity
games, if conducted as in the past, would seri-
ously interfere with the work of the second team.
Thus the suggestion comes from the management

that the usual fixed . schedule of interfraternity
games be abolished this season. In place of this
it is proposed to have scrub games between the
fraternities without a championship cup. In this
way the second team would not suffer from the
loss of the fraternity players and might perform
its full share in strengthening the varsity team.

A regulation existing in
Deferred Initiations many colleges has been pro-
posed for adoption at Bow-
doin. It is that the fraternity initiations shall be
postponed until after the beginning of the sec-
ond semester. Under the present system, if an
initiate fails in February, he leaves college with
but three months' experience in the fraternity : a
circumstance to which strenuous objection is be-
ing made by many of the national fraternity or-
ganizations. Under the system of deferred in-
itiations, the pledging would take place as at
present and the Freshman might live at the
chapter house on trial for the first semester as
regards his ability to meet the requirements of
the College. Such a change ought not to be
made without full discussion by the whole Col-
lege, and this the Student Council desires to open

taken up as referred back from the student body
and a new committee was chosen to investigate
the matter further.

(2) The matter of interfraternity baseball
was discussed and it was decided to bring before
the several fraternities the matter of an organ-
ized second team instead of an interfraternity
league.

(3) The plan of deferring of the initiation of
Freshmen until a semester of successful col-
legiate work has been completed, which was rec-
ommended by the recent Interfraternity Confer-
ence, was discussed and it was decided to refer
the matter to the several fraternities for their
opinion and action.

(4) The matter of Orient publicity was dis-
cussed and it was decided that all proceedings of
the Council should be made public through the
Orient.

(5) It was called to the attention of the
Council that in some class elections improper
choices had been made for the position of tellers
and a member was delegated to instruct the class
president to appoint men of different fraternities
from the candidates in all elections.

(6) The matter of indiscriminate peddling
and soliciting in the different dormitories was
discussed and it was voted that no person shall
solicit or peddle wares in the dormitories without
obtaining the permission of the president of the
Student Council. The Proctors are to enforce
this provision.

(7) There was a discussion of the U. Q.
Club and its place in Bowdoin life.

(8) It was decided to have the constitutions
and regulations of the various organizations of
the Associated Students printed in booklet form
for general distribution to all students desiring
them. A number of amendments were suggested
to the by-laws of the Council and will be voted
upon at the next meeting. The amendments were
mainly those made necessary by the adoption of
the Associated Students and the election of offi-
cers and members under that plan.

new catalogue and have the book reserved for
him as soon as it is returned.

Many excellent works on literature have ar-
rived, the most prominent being The Verse of
Greek Comedy, by J. W. White ; English Litera-

In spite of the fact that the College has made
every effort to obtain a suitable temporary in-
structor in English Literature to take the place
left vacant by Professor Chapman's death, no
suitable man could be found and all courses in
English Literature are canceled for the semester.

Men who have signed for English Literature
2 or 4 are urged to change immediately to some
other course, and students are requested to con-
fer with the acting Dean before making the
change. Men who do not change, however, will
be given credit for the course, but men who
signed for both must change at least one.

Acting Dean McConaughy spoke at Good Will

Acting on the suggestion of President Lowell
of Harvard the Navy Department has arranged
for taking college men onto the ships of the Navy
for training during the summer. The men will
be chosen from a list of colleges on the recom-
mendation of the president and professors. Be-
side the regular routine of sea life special in-
struction will be given in the engineering and
electrical systems of the ship, navigation, and
gunnery, allowing each to specialize according
to his previous studies. The advocates of the
plan think that it will furnish a trained reserve
force of capable men for the Navy beside giving
them an excellent practical training. It will also
create an interest in the Navy among the stu-
dents and young men of the country that is now
missing. The colleges eligible are Harvard,
Yale, Boston, Mass. Tech., Columbia, Johns Hop-
kins, University of Virginia, Troy, Cornell, Mich-
igan, Illinois, Purdue, California, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.

A new woman's college has recently been
founded in Maine. It is located at Springvale
and the name chosen is Nassau Institute. It is a
frank attempt to reproduce the Simmons College
educational idea in this State and is devoted al-
most wholly to training in domestic science and
allied arts. A large percentage of the members
of the faculty are Simmons graduates.

One of the Harvard papers advocates the study
of the history of the university by members of
the Freshman class in the prescribed English
course.

Since 1892 John D. Rockefeller has contributed
$93,485,000 to American colleges and universities.

To advertise the university all members of the
Freshman rhetoric classes at Kansas are required
to write articles concerning the institution to
their home newspapers.

The intercollegiate socialist society with head-
quarters in New York, announces a chapter role
of forty-eight undergraduate chapters in as many

Again it becomes the solemn duty of the Bow-

death, on February 10th, of another of its mem-
bers— Brother Charles Whitcomb Tuttle of the
Class of 1886 — who during an extended trip
abroad was suddenly stricken. During his active
career in the field of science and business, he at-
tained a marked success. Although he lived at a
great distance from this Chapter, yet he always
had a deep interest in its welfare. The Chapter
extends its heartfelt sympathy to his son, Brother
Curtis Tuttle of the Class of 1913, the other
members of his immediate family, and his many
friends.

'60. — Another of our rapidly decreasing num-
ber of "Civil War alumni" has passed away.
Major Adelbert Birge Twitchell died suddenly at
his home in Newark, N. J., February 24th.

Mr. Twitchell was born Dec. 14, 1836 in Bethel,
Me., the son of Alphin and Roxanna Twitchell.
He prepared for college at Gould's Academy. He
entered in 1856, graduating in the famous class
which contained Thomas B. Reed, Judge Joseph
W. Symonds, W. W. Thomas, and other noted
men. It is also notable that over 20 members of
this class saw service in the Civil War, either in
the army or the navy.

After graduation, Mr. Twitchell taught in the
public schools of Newark for a short time, but in
1861 enlisted as a private in the Bethel Company
No. 1 of the Fifth Maine Regiment. He was
quickly promoted to quartermaster-sergeant and
in December of that year was made a second lieu-
tenant of the Fifth Maine Battery, and was pro-
moted to first lieutenant on August 30, 1862.

With the Fifth Maine Infantry, he saw much
rough service in the battle of Bull Run. With
the battery he served in the campaign of 1862 at

Rappahannock, and on August 2, in the second
battle of Bull Run, all of the other officers having
been disabled or killed, he brought off the rem-
nant of his companions that could be saved. At
Chancellorsville in May of the following year,
Lieut. Twitchell was so severely wounded that he
was sent home. This was the battle in which the
battery was hauled off by hand, and captain of
the battery, Capt. Leppein, was mortally wounded.

But even this enforced absence from the front
could not keep Lieut. Twitchell from valuable
service. While convalescing, • he raised the
Seventh Maine Veteran Battery and took them
through the campaign of 1864-5, serving as part
of Burnside's 9th corps. One of the most valu-
able services of this battery was in front of
Petersburg where they garrisoned Fort Hell, as
it was called. Capt. Twitchell was commissioned
Brevet Major in 1865.

At the close of the war, Mr. Twitchell returned
to Newark where he was for many years con-
nected with the Clark Lumber Co. In 1863, he
was awarded the degree of A.M. from this Col-
lege. In 1867, he married Miss Marietta North-
rup of Newark, and three sons blessed this
union. He was prominent in the church, the
Y.M.C.A., the Board of Trade, and in fact in any
organization where he might be of service to his
city or country.

Thus has passed from our midst, one of our
most noble alumni, a man who was unceasing in
his efforts to advance the welfare of his country
whether on the battlefield or in civil affairs, and
a man who always had the true love of his fel-
lowman.

'yj. — Mr. F. H. Hargraves of West Buxton
has recently been appointed as a member of the
Board of Inspectors of Prisons and Jails in this
State.

'04. — Mr. Arthur Shorey who has been con-
nected with the International Banking Company,
has recently left Yokohama for Manila where
he is now located in the interests of this com-
pany. Mr. Shorey has been connected with this
company at New York, London, Hongkong, and
Yokohama. This latest position completes a cir-
cuit of the offices of this company, and makes
him a most experienced man in this line of work.
At Manila he is joined by Charles J. Donnell of
the Class of 1904, who has spent considerable
time in Manila.

'12. — John Arnett Mitchell has just completed
a most interesting trip abroad during which he
has spent quite a little time in England, France
and Germany. He comes back to take a place as
instructor of Modern Languages in the Colored
High School of Washington. D. C.

Hyde Athletic Building. By placing men in every
event except the high jump, and by winning first
place in five of the nine events, the Hebron men
scored 34 points and earned a clean-cut victory.
Coburn Classical Institute took second place with
eleven points, and Portland High, Brunswick
High and Camden High tied for third place with
eight points each. Dexter High secured five
points, Deering High and Maine Central Insti-
tute three each, and Lincoln Academy one.

The meet was unique in being the first of its
kind ever pulled off in the State, and also the first
ever held in the General Thomas Worcester
Hyde Athletic Building, and was fittingly hon-
ored by the presence of the Honorable John S.
Hyde of Bath, the donor of the building.

There was no delay in running off the events,
and the meet was a big success in every way.
Twenty-two schools were represented by 130
contestants, the largest number of athletes that
ever competed in an indoor meet in the State,
and that the various events were hotly contested
is shown by the fact that the 81 points scored in
the meet were divided among twenty-one men.

The biggest feature of the games was the
jumping of McCobb of Camden High School.
Besides winning second place in the broad jump,
he established a new State record in the running
high jump by clearing the bar at 5 ft. 8Ji in., a
height which exceeds by over one inch the record
of 5 ft. 7J/2 in. made at the regular spring Bow-
doin Interscholastic Meet by Thomas of Port-
land, and also surpasses by Y% of an inch the
Maine Intercollegiate record of 5 ft. 8J4 m- ne^
jointly by Burlingame of Bowdoin, Scott of U. of
M., and J. Williams of Bates.

Another feature of the meet was the running
of Preti of Portland High in the 880 yd. dash,
which he won in 2 min. 163-5 sec. Preti ran
very easily and planned his race well, saving his
speed for the last half of the run. At the begin-
ning of the fifth lap he took the lead, steadily in-
creased it,: and finished - fifteen - yards ahead of
Webster of Hebron, who was second.

Small of Hebron topped the list of individual
point winners with a tally of ten points. McCobb
of Camden was second with eight, and Donegan
and Webster of Hebron tied for third with six
each.

The ten relay races between the different
schools furnished some of the most interesting
contests of the afternoon. Brunswick High de-
feated Dexter High by half a lap in 1 min. 50 4-5
sec. the fastest relay time of the meet. The race
between Portland High and Deering High was
the closest and hardest fought of the day, the
teams being so evenly matched that Portland
finally won by a margin of only one yard.

A BOWDOIN NIGHT

Saturday evening at 7.30 a Bowdoin night and
smoker was held in Memorial Hall in honor of
the athletes who participated in the Interscholas-
tic Meet during the afternoon. The student body,
the athletes, and their supporters turned out in
full force so that Memorial Hall was well filled.
Several members of the faculty and their wives
were also present during the first part of the
evening.

Crowell welcomed the visiting athletes with a
few well-chosen words, and then Acting Dean
James L. McConaughy delivered the Bowdoin
Lecture, which was illustrated by stereopticon
views showing the college buildings, some of its
famous men, and many of the phases of the col-
lege life.

After the lecture a rousing smoker was in
order. Crowell presented the Burton C. Morrill
Relay Cup to the captain of the Cony High
School track team, which won its relay race with
Gardiner High, and the Championship Trophy of
the B.I.I. Meet to the captain of the Hebron
Academy track team, which won the Indoor Meet
in the afternoon.

Next Loring Pratt was called upon to entertain
the gathering with his inimitable dialect read-
ings, monologues, and pantomimes and made a
hit. The meeting was interspersed with selec-
tions by the band and yells and closed with the
singing of "Bowdoin Beata." Refreshments of
cider, apples, pretzels and cigarettes were served
during the evening.

EASTER SERVICE

On Easter evening, at 7.30, in Memorial Hall,
an illustrated lecture will be given on "Great
Scenes in the Life of Christ." The pictures are
reproductions of some of the most famous paint-
ings illustrating Christ's life, including the mas-
terpieces of Raphael, Titian, Rubens, and some
modern painters, including colored slides of the
striking pictures by Tissot. Mr. McConaughy
will describe the slides briefly, and the public is
very cordially invited to this special Easter even-
ing service.

The Orient has been re-
An Equal Chance quested to correct the im-
pression that the baseball
team has been already selected. Such a misap-
prehension probably arises because, according to
the established custom, the members of the 1912
squad have been measured for uniforms. It does
not follow that these men are to compose the
19 1 3 team, for they are chosen for measurement
simply as a matter of convenience. Selection of
the members of the team will not begin until af-
ter the arrival of the coach. There is now an
equal opportunity for every man on the squad to
win a place on the team.

The recent action of the Stu-
A Real Evil dent Council in deciding that

no artificial scheme of limi-
tation will adequately solve the problem of too
great concentration of student offices and the con-
sequent dropping of the matter should not be

passed by without comment. The discussion of
this problem and the scheme proposed by a com-
mittee of the Council has been widespread and
the Orient has received two communications,
from Bowdoin alumni very ably discussing the
matter which lack of space prevents us from
printing.

It is significant that at the present time this
same question with similar schemes of limitation
is now up for discussion at Harvard, Yale,
Brown and other prominent colleges. The fact
that the need for limitation is felt so generally
and that the arguments pointing out the evils in
our present conditions here at Bowdoin were not
answered show that there is really something the
matter.

An extract from a communication written by
Robert Hale of the class of 1910, one of Bow-
doin's Rhodes scholars, expresses this defect in
present conditions as follows : "The aim of such
a scheme of limitations is, I suppose, to prevent
the individual undergraduate from diffusing his
energies over too wide a field of college activities
to the detriment of his work and his best intellec-
tual training. I think the evil aimed at is a real
one, and that an agitation for its remedy should
be undertaken is a hopeful sign. Diffuseness and
superficiality are the criticisms most reasonably
and justly aimed at the American system of uni-
versity education. If this reform or any other
reform can give the Bowdoin undergraduate
deeper appreciations in art, literature and music
and above all arouse him from his lethargy in
matters of politics, then it would be shameful in-
deed not to support the measure." Mr. Hale goes
on to point out a number of defects in the system
of artificial limitation and then suggests that the
Faculty have some voice in such over-participa-
tion as now exists and he says, "if professors ad-
vise a man to debate less or to play less football,
the man should pay heed or take the conse-
quences."

Shall we not then attempt by natural and real
means what the limitation scheme imperfectly
seeks to accomplish? Let the members of the
Faculty not hesitate to do an individual real ser-
vice by advising him to pay less time to outside
activities if with their additional experience and
perception they realize that the particular stu-
dent is throwing away some of the best things in
the intellectual life of the college. And let the
students, too, in choosing men for offices look for
those who are doing things well, who are not
overworking, and who have enough reserve time
to handle extra duties in the best manner. And
let them advise their fellows, especially the un-
derclassmen, to see to it that they limit them- .

selves in their activities not by what they can
"get by with" but with what they can do to the
best of their ability. And, lastly, let each individ-
ual student in planning his own college career,
aim at doing well what he attempts rather than
amassing a long list of Bugle honors, let him
learn to say "No" to the selection of new offices
and honors when his natural limit has been
reached.

Blackwell, Miss Helen Fisk and Hyler '15. At
the center refreshment table were Mrs. Holmes
and Miss Beatrice Hacker. The ushers were
Badger '14, Eddy '14, Card '15, Wish '13, Norton
'13, Livingston '15, C. A. Brown '14, Verrill '14,
and Roberts '15. The committee was Mrs. Davis,,
chairman, Mrs. Woodruff, Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs.
Files, Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. Wilder and Mrs. F..
W. Brown.

THE LIMITATIONS SCHEME

In closing the formal discussion of the plan of
limitation of student activities, the Orient
throws out the following extract from a personal'
letter from the "School and College" editor of
the Boston Transcript, to show the general inter-
est in the problem :

"This limitation of student activities is one of
the things in which I am greatly interested and I
hope that Bowdoin will move in the proper direc-
tion. In the average small college altogether too-
much work is done by a few men. The situation
in the large universities is bad enough but in the
institution of five or six hundred students it is
almost intolerable. A good many colleges have
tried to limit the number of activities in which a
man may participate and the results have been
uniformly good. Technology, I think, has almost
an ideal plan, and everyone agrees that extra-
curricular affairs were never so well managed at
the Institute as right now. The limitations im-
posed have given the most active an opportunity
to do some much needed study and have been the
making of a good many men who otherwise
would never have had the chance to manage a
team or a club of one kind or another. I sincere-
ly hope that Bowdoin sees the light."
Very truly yours,

HENRY T. CLANS.

CLASS SQUADS

The class squads are now being formed and
night practise is being held in the new gymnas-
ium in preparation for the Indoor Meet. The
leaders and pianists are as follows:

1913 — John A. Slocum, squad leader; Charles
A. Hatch, pianist.

1914— Percy D. Mitchell, squad leader; Her-
bert M. Shea, pianist.

.1915— Harold E. Verrill, squad leader; Francis
P., Mc^enney, pianist.

,1916— Herbert, H. Foster, squad leader; Ora L.
Evans, pjanist.^ ,." \ _ / .." \.^

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Y.M.C.A-SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE REPORTS

The Y.M.C.A. election will be held immediately
after Chapel on Wednesday, March nineteenth.
Students are asked to be seated for a few min-
utes for this election. Ballots will be passed to
all members of the Association, who will be asked
to indicate their choice for each office. To expe-
dite matters, the Recording Secretary has been
instructed to cast a ballot for the Alumni Advis-
•ory Committee, as follows : Professor Mitchell,
for three years ; Dean Sills, for two years ; Rev.
Chester B. Emerson, for one year. A brief sum-
mary of the Y.M.C.A. work for the year follows :

Probably the most important thing that the
Y.M.C.A. at Bowdoin has done the past year, is
-the Brunswick Boys' Association which was or-
ganized some months ago and now has 109 boys
enrolled as members, meeting twice a week in the
old gymnasium ; soon each group of ten boys will
meet with some student for a social gathering in
the corner of the gymnasium, which has been
fixed up with a piano, games, etc., as a club room.
Four hundred dollars was raised in town for
this work, and it is probably the most important
thing the College has ever done for the town. It
is an outgrowth of the Grammar School gym-
nasium class run by the Y.M.C.A. for some years,
and the Boy Scouts organized by the Bowdoin
Association last year. It is hoped that the tempo-
rary quarters in the old gymnasium may be used
next year, after which some permanent place will
ie secured down town.

The Deputation work, begun last year, has been
•even more effective during the past months. Ten
places have been visited, including three prepara-
tory schools, and nearly a dozen men have helped
in this work. Letters were sent out to one hun-
•dred nearby towns and cities, offering to send
Deputations if they would be helpful, and in this
way the influence of the Bowdoin Association has
been extended throughout the State. Bowdoin
and Dartmouth are probably today the most
prominent in Deputation work of all New Eng-
land colleges.

Two hundred sixty-five men have been en-
rolled as members of the Association this year,
the largest membership on record, and probably
the largest percentage of the student body en-
rolled in any college Y.M.C.A. The plan of hav-
ing the Association dues included in the Blanket
Tax seems to have worked well, and very few
men now doubt that the Y.M.C.A. is on a par with
the other student activities. The basis for mem-
bership adopted by the Bowdoin Association
some few years ago, and since imitated by a ma-
jority of the other New England Associations,

will possibly be adopted by the whole Student
Y.M.C.A. movement of the country, so that in
this respect Bowdoin was the forerunner in a re-
form movement.

The Bible Study and Mission Study has not
been as effective numerically this year, as last
yea'r, due largely to the lack of trained leaders.
About 125 men were enrolled in Bible study, with
an average attendance of about 75. The enrol-
ment in Mission study is somewhat smaller. Next
year it is proposed to have only two courses in
Bible study, in order that the interest may not be
scattered, as has been the case when too many
courses were offered. It is hoped that leaders
for next year may be trained by a special course
in leadership this spring.

The Social Service Committee has continued
its effective work, raising and spending about
sixty dollars for the poor of Brunswick, sending
collections of old clothes and magazines to places
where they would be helpful. A careful investi-
gation was made of the opportunity for educa-
tional classes for foreigners in Bath, but no real
need was found, so this matter was given up.

The meetings for the year have not been well
attended, and it is probable that in the future
fewer religious meetings will be held by the As-
sociation. It is seriously to be doubted whether a
regular religious meeting once a week should be
added at an institution where there is compulsory
Chapel, Sunday Vespers, and where many men
attend church. The special Week of Prayer
meetings, and the three Vesper services in Feb-
ruary, were particularly effective. The music
has been more important than in the past, and it
is hoped later to have a special musical service.
The usual monthly Cabinet meetings have been
held, and one Bowdoin Night, simply for the pur- <
pose of sociability, was held in Memorial Hall.
A number more will probably be held under the
auspices of the Y.M.C.A. and the Student Coun-
cil another year.

Closer church relations have been promoted by
correspondence with the pastors of men who are
entering college, by inviting men to become as-
sociated with local churches, either as temporary
members, or by joining on confession of faith.
A larger number of students than previous have
been teaching in the local Sunday schools. It is
suggested that next year a special committee on
church relations be appointed.

The Freshman Religious Committee was more
effectively organized than ever before, and co-
operated successfully in the collection of old
clothes, and in preparing for the State Student
Y.M.C.A. Conference, of which the Bowdoin As-

BOWDOIN ORIENT

sociation was the host this year.

Through the Press Committee this year two
general reports have been sent out to all the pa-
pers in the state, and more effort than previously
has been made to have the Association's activi-
ties generally known.

The usual reception, employment bureau, loan-
ing of text books, etc., have been carried on as in
the past.

Club anD Council Meetings

Professor Moore of Harvard University deliv-
ered a lecture before the Classical Club in Hub-
bard Hall Thursday evening. He discussed the
value of the study of Greek, Latin, History and
the Sciences to the modern man with a vocation.
He especially emphasized the need of accuracy
in thought and expression, which can best be
gained through the study of some classical sub-
ject.

At the last meeting of the Student Council the
main topic of interest was the Spring Rally
which has been tentatively arranged for April 11.

( 1 ) According to the provisions of by-laws of
the Student Council a standing Music Committee
of the college was announced. This committee
consists of Crowell, ex-officio, George Eaton '14,
ex-officio, C. Brown '14 and Sam West '15.

(2) A number of amendments to the Student
Council by-laws proposed at the last meeting
were adopted and the committee was instructed
to go ahead with the securing of the funds for
publishing the constitutions of student organiza-
tions.

(3) A large number of the fraternities re-
ported in favor of abolishing the interfraternity
baseball league. None were reported as formal-
ly opposing its abolition.

(4) All the fraternities have not yet communi-
cated to the Council their attitude in regard to
postponing initiation until the end of the first
semester. This matter will be taken up at a later
meeting when they have all been heard from.

(5) Professor Ham was re-elected to the posi-
tion of faculty member of the Bowdoin Publish-
ing Co., to serve for two years.

(6) The matter of publishing a booklet illus-
trative of Bowdoin undergraduate extra-curri-
culum activities was very favorably considered.

This matter was suggested to the Council by a

letter from the acting Dean.

(7) The Rally Committee made a report of
plans for the Spring Rally and a general discus-
sion of speakers, etc., followed.

(8) The second committee on regulation of
undergraduate activities made a written report

which was adopted by the Council. The report
follows : —

"Your committee appointed to devise a scheme
for the limitation of individual participation in
undergraduate activities with the aid of the sug-
gestions made at the recent students' meeting has
come to the conclusion that, although there may
be a need for such limitation at Bowdoin, no
artificial plan such as was suggested at that
meeting, or has been heretofore proposed by the
former committee of the Council, or none that its
members can devise will adequately meet the
problem. It recommends that the matter of such
a system or rules of regulation be dropped."

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Syrene, Snow, Boyd) defeated the Bowdoin
Freshmen (Richardson, Hall, Garland, Sayward)
at the Bates interclass meet at Lewiston last
Thursday night. Each man ran 300 yards ; the
time of the winners was 2 min. 48 sec. Captain
Leadbetter was alternate of the Bowdoin team.
Shepard of Bates, present holder of the M.I.A.A.
shot put record, broke his own record with a put
of over 42 feet.

According to the present plans there will be
trials Saturday in the field events for the inter-
class meet on the following Tuesday.

Two teams have been temporarily organized
among the six men chosen for the intercollegi-
ates, in order to give the debaters practice on
both sides of the question. A trial debate will be
held in the near future. The permanent teams
will be chosen probably by the first of next week.
The judges for the debates in the League will
soon be announced.

Miitb t&e Jfacultp

Through its alumni the College has become
prominent in arctic exploration, and now one of
its professors is going north in the interests of
science. Professor Copeland will start about
July first from New York with an expedition
led by Donald B. McMillan '98. The first shop
will probably be Boston ; then the expedition
pushes on to Sydney, the start of most of Peary's
famous expeditions. Leaving Sydney the expe-
dition will continue north, making two stops on
the Labrador coast. Soon after leaving Labra-
dor the ship passes the line of the arctic circle,
and goes on in the light of the midnight sun.
Etah, at latitude 78, is to be the base of supplies
and summer camp. McMillan and his party will
then arrange for their journey to explore Crocker
Land, an unexplored territory seen by Peary on
one of his explorations. While McMillan ar-
ranges his winter camp Professor Copeland with
the other party will collect biological material,
especially invertebrates, in the vicinity of Etah.

Later in the summer the party Professor Cope-
land is with will go south to Jones' Sound, the
region where Harry Whitney did his famous big
game hunting and also met Dr. Cook. There
they will shoot big game — musk ox, polar bear,
rein deer, and walrus.

After pursuing the big game the scientific
party, with all their collections of rare and prob-
ably some unknown forms of arctic life, will re-
turn on the ship about the tenth of September.
The ship will go back to bring home McMillan
and his party after they have s'peht two winters
exploring the unknown' Crocker Land. '/' f".

This is the first expedition to the far north
purely for scientific investigation, and it is a great
honor that Professor Copeland should be chosen
along with several other eminent scientists. The
very latest modern equipment will be used by the
party, even a moving picture machine being taken
to show the animals in life, especially the huge
musk ox, so common there.

INDOOR MEET TONIGHT

Bowdoin's 27th annual exhibition and 18th an-
nual indoor interclass meet is to be held tonight
in the Hyde Athletic Building. Nearly half the
men in the College have entered in the various
events and each class is promising to win the
meet.

In addition to the events between the four
classes, there will be the usual four man relay
race between the Bates and Bowdoin Freshmen,
while Lewiston High and Brunswick High will
race for the interscholastic championship of
Maine. This last event should be well worth
watching, as each school has a fast team.

Twenty-seven years ago, when the first inter-
class competition of this nature was held, there
was no running or jumping, but the event rather
resembled an old fashioned circus with all its gilt
and spangles. The growth of Bowdoin in the
past quarter of a century can well be shown by
the nature of tonight's meet, held in one of the
best gymnasiums of the country, and including
practically all the events of an outdoor meet.

The clay track is the same as that used in the
interscholastic meet. Ample seating accommoda-
tions have been provided.

The list of officials follows :

Referee : — Dr. W. W. Bolster of Lewiston.

THE VACATION TRIP

Thirty-three men, composing the 1912 Bow-
doin Musical Clubs, will leave Brunswick Thurs-
day morning on the longest spring trip yet under-
taken. Aside from the usual Boston concert the
clubs will give a concert in New York, this being

the first appearance of the musical organization
of any Maine college in that city.

The concerts are as follows: Portsmouth,
N. H., March 27; Reading, Mass., March 28;
Boston, Steinert Hall, March 29; New York,
March 31.

The concert in Boston, as usual, is conducted
especially for the alumni and after it the younger
Bowdoin men in Boston will hold a reunion with
the members of the chilis

The New York concert is to be held in the ball
room at Delmonico's. It is run jointly by the
New York Bowdoin Alumni Association and the
State of Maine Society of New York. John W.
Frost '06, Max P. dishing '09 and James D. Mer-
riman '92, president of the Maine Society, have
made elaborate preparations for the affair and
have planned a dance following the performance.
The number of tickets has already been over-
subscribed and a large attendance is expected.
The club members are to be entertained Monday
night by the many younger alumni of that city.

WHO WINS?

The following statements, made expressly for
the Orient, will prove beyond a shadow of doubt
that someone will be disappointed when the meet
is over tonight. The only suitable solution that
the Orient can see is to have four first places, —
one for each class.
Here they are :

the seniors
Although two (2) of our best men have gone
to Texas, we still can see no chance for the other
three classes.

The Juniors' chances of winning are very
bright. Each member of the Junior team is so
bright his mother calls him son.

As we look back over the
The Orient Year record of events during the

appearance of the forty-sec-
ond volume of the Orient, the lasting impression
is one of work unfinished. This results from the
realization of many things begun, something ac-
complished, and many problems yet to be solved.
The agitation which has been manifest in all
phases of Bowdoin life may be said to have as its
underlying principle the attempt to improve the
relations of individuals and their interests.

In response to the dissatisfaction expressed
with the old subscription system, the undergrad-
uates have through the organization of the Asso-
ciated Students succeeded in establishing a
sound financial basis for activities ; but they have
yet to devise a workable scheme for protecting
the individual against himself by limiting his par-
ticipation in these activities. They have founded
the Bowdoin Club to provide a home for non-
fraternity men, but have yet to make a reality of
a Union where all may meet as members of the

College and not of its groups.

Just as these instances are typical of under-
graduate problems, so the Bowdoin Illustrated
Lecture and the plan for establishing an Alumni
Council show the attitude of the administration
in seeking to develop sympathetic relations with
prospective students and to secure the coopera-
tion of the alumni in meeting college problems.

With the Orient, the question of rendering in-
creased service to the College is partially an-
swered by the decision to increase the number of
issues to thirty-three and to strengthen each de-
partment by making the individual responsible.
We welcome the new Board to the task of carry-
ing out these decisions and of keeping before the
College the problems which must be met by the
Bowdoin of the future.

FRESHMAN CANDIDATES

Competition will begin immediately for assist-
ant managers of the Bowdoin Publishing Co.
Candidates should hand their names to A. E.
Gray '14 sometime this week. The increased im-
portance of the managership of the Bowdoin
Publishing Co. should be an incentive for a keen
competition this year.

Competition is open also for the Orient edi-
torial board. Candidates should hand their
names to A. H. MacCormick '15 during the pres-
ent week. The competition is for one member of
the Board from the present Freshman class to be
elected next fall and candidates who were in the
competition just ended may continue in this com-
petition.

CHAPEL MEMORIAL SERVICE

Bowdoin College held a memorial service for
Professor Chapman Sunday, March 16, at the
Chapel Vespers. Professor Wilmot B. Mitchell,
who was long a close personal friend of Profes-
sor Chapman, gave the memorial address.

This is the first opportunity the Orient has
had to make adequate mention of the service and
we take this opportunity to publish Professor
Mitchell's address.

PROFESSOR HENRY LELAND CHAPMAN

When a good man dies, he bequeaths to his
friends a heritage of precious memories. To all
of us who knew Professor Chapman as a teacher,
a colleague, or a neighbor, and counted among
our choicest blessings the gift of his friendship,
there have come during the days since his death
many consoling memories of his life among us.

For more than forty years he was a teacher of
Bowdoin boys. With a discriminating apprecia-
tion of the artistic and noble in literature, with a

BOWDOIN ORIENT

*4S

seasoned judgment that detected unerringly the
fleeting and the false, with an ear acutely sensi-
tive to the rhythmic music of verse, and with a
cultured voice able to interpret that music, he
revealed to generations of Bowdoin students, in a
manner never to be forgotten, the truth and the
beauty of a great literature.

Skilled teacher that he was, he taught his stu-
dents more than the history of English letters ;
he helped them to know and feel what clear-eyed
prophets and poets have thought and written
concerning the great passions that have moved
mankind and the problems and mysteries of hu-
man life. Not simply to teach history or biog-
raphy was his aim, but to lead young men to the
love of great books, — those that could hearten
them in moments of discouragement, and humble
them when they were over-proud, and rebuke
them when they erred in folly, and inspire them
with high ideals when satisfied with low stand-
ards of thinking and living.

To teach young men was his chosen work, and
from that work he let no alluring voices call him
away. No other tasks, however attractive they
might seem, however well fitted he might be to
perform them, could interfere with that work.
He did many different things, to be sure, and did
them well. His interests were broad and varied;
church and town and State will feel his loss.
But his profession as a teacher was always first.
Although he possessed the coveted art of ex-
pressing his thoughts in a language that was
easy, finished, and chaste, that was touched with
the charm of his winning personality, the print-
ing press could not tempt him to forget his class-
room. Indeed, we may well regret today that
we have not more of his essays and verses in
print, but characteristically free from any stnv
ing for publicity, he interpreted his duty more
narrowly. Thinking, perhaps, that too much of
our modern book-making savors of self-adver-
tisement, he gave to his classes his most care-
fully expressed opinions by word of mouth. That
he spoke with grace, virility, and persuasiveness,
we all know. As a result of this, and of the love
and respect in which he was held, invitations to
preach, to read, or to lecture came to him almost
without number. "If a person once does a good
thing," says Goethe, "society forms a league to
prevent his doing another. Because he has done
one thing well, he is urged to squander himself
and do a thousand things ill." To such urging
Professor Chapman did not unwisely yield. In
the twenty-six years that I knew him, I never
saw him do a piece of work carelessly. Turning
from calls that might easily have appealed to

selfish pride, he remembered tenaciously his
chosen task, and graciously but firmly refused to
be led away from it. Bowdoin College should
remember with profound gratitude his devotion to
duty, unceasing even to the day of his death.
"The work of a college professor," says Dr. Bliss
Perry, "is a petty calling for a man of petty
mind; but it is is a noble profession for the noble-
hearted." For Professor Chapman it was a noble
profession.

Like most great teachers and noble-hearted'
men, Professor Chapman had a keen sense of
humor, a humor like that of the gentle Elia,
whose essays he much enjoyed, — "a mixture of
wit and love, a diffused good humor that cani
come only from a mind free from all taint of
morbidness, a merry-heartedness that 'doth good
like medicine,' an overflowing friendliness
which brings a laughter that is without scorn."
As today we gratefully recall this friend and
teacher who has gone from us, how the mem-
ories of his playful humor come thronging back !
The merry jest, the happy anecdote, the ready
repartee, the subtle play on words. It is the mis-
sion of such humor to brighten disappointment
and sweeten bitterness, to relieve tense discus-
sions and strained relations, to win the loyalty of
young men and the friendship of little children.
It never wounds, for it is the humor of the gentle
and the courteous.

Twenty-two years ago, in closing his last lec-
ture to my own class, after expressing the desire
that our lives might be crowned with success,
Professor Chapman read to us a poem. It was
the epilogue to one of Thackeray's Christmas
stories. I well remember the impressiveness
with which he spoke these lines:

"Who misses or who wins the prize?
Go, lose or conquer as you can,
But if you fail or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman."

At that time I knew Professor Chapman only
as a student knows his teacher, but I felt, as did
my fellows, that those words could come from no
other lips more fittingly. Since then I have
known him intimately, and have seen him in the
varied relations of life, but that feeling has only
deepened. I have seen his unswerving loyalty to
the college, his firm advocacy of what he be-
lieved was right, his gracious acceptance of de-
feat, his freedom from unseemly striving, his
generosity to every worker in a worthy cause,
his love of truth, beyond the bounds of which no
special pleading or unrestrained enthusiasm
could ever carry him, his courtesy alike to high
and low, his kindly chivalry to little children;

and I have felt that here indeed was one of whom
we could say with truth what Alfred Tennyson
wrote as the highest word of praise for his loved
friend, Arthur Hallam : "He bore without abuse
the grand old name of gentleman."

Just what was the secret of his power, why
men admired and trusted and loved him, cannot
easily be put into one word. All the influences
that played upon his mind and heart to make
him the whole man that he was we can never
know. The alchemy of human influences is
subtle, and which transmute to gold no man with
certainty can say. Inherited strength, the asso-
ciations of family and of friends, personal be-
reavement, years of close contact with young and
eager life, wide wanderings in the "realms of
gold" where he had "many goodly states and
kingdoms seen" — each of these doubtless played
its part. But there is one force which I believe
he would say had been more potent than all oth-
ers. I may fittingly speak of it in this chapel
where we have so often heard his voice in prayer,
in sacred song, or as he spoke to us of the deep
things of God. He had the old-fashioned faith
that the spirit of his Divine Master can come into
human lives and lift them up from the slavery of
selfishness and fear into the glorious liberty of
the sons of God. In that faith he faced un-
daunted the eternal realities of life and death.

On a Sabbath evening in the autumn of 1885,
speaking from this pulpit, he said: "Somewhere
in the uncertain future lies the shadow of death
into which we shall enter and straightway be lost
to earthly eyes. Every returning Sabbath, every
setting sun, nay, every fleeting breath brings us
nearer to that shadow. Shall we enter it tonight,
or tomorrow, or after many days ? Certainly no
one can answer that question nor need we greatly
care to answer it. There are other questions of
graver import that press upon us. Is that
shadow something to shrink from and to fear?
Is it the end of our being and all our hopes ?
Are we really lost when we enter it ? There is an
answer to these questions. The revelation of our
Lord Jesus Christ, to him who will receive it,
makes that shadow as harmless and as little to be
feared, as the mist that closes around one who
climbs some high mountain in the assured faith
that he will find the sunlight at the top."

After many days our friend and teacher has
passed into the shadow. We shall see him no
more in his familiar place. His last lecture has
been given. Not again in this chapel shall we
harken to his voice. No more shall we see him
strolling along the paths of this campus rich with
the memories of his earlier years. No more will
Bowdoin graduates, as they come back to their

alma mater, receive from him the genial word
of welcome or the hearty handclasp. But we
have for our consolation and for our guidance the
memories of a life well lived among men in the
firm faith that this life in the valley is not all but
that somewhere beyond the mist, on the moun-
tain top, is the sunlight.

Clufi anD Council Meetings

The Central Committee held a meeting last
Friday evening. A circular was issued to the
members to be distributed among the preparatory
school men and the evening was spent in an in-
formal discussion.

The Orient Board held a meeting last Satur-
day evening at the Kappa Sigma House with old
and new members present. The policy of the
new Board was discussed. It was decided that
the present Orient is inadequate in meeting the
needs for special articles and that as soon as the
financial management would consent, the so-
called "Outlook idea" should be inaugurated.
This is, in short, the making of a double size
issue once a month which will contain features
and special articles.

A Musical Art Club has recently been formed
among a number of the upper-classmen espe-
cially interested in the study of music as an art.
E. O. Baker '13 is president of the new organi-
zation and F. Twombly '13 is secretary and treas-
urer. The plans of the club's activities have not
been completed as yet but there will probably be
a series of recitals in which undergraduates, fac-
ulty members and townspeople will participate.
The membership will be made competitive.

Dr. Pettengill of Harvard gave an illustrated
lecture on Mediaeval German architecture- in the

'58. — George Bacon Towle, head-master of
Trinity School, New York City, died suddenly of
angina pectoris on Jan. 6 last at Upper Mont-
clair, New Jersey.

Mr. Towle was a native of Saco, Me., where he
was prepared for college, and was a member of
an old and prominent York County family. Opon
leaving college he entered on mercantile pursuits
in Boston and for several years prior to the great
fire of 1872 was Secretary to the Boston Board
of Trade. Commercial affairs were not greatly
to Mr. Towle's bent of mind. He was a natural-
born educator and he seized the opportunity pres-
ent at the time, to become principal of the High
School at Medway, Mass., where he resided and
was member of the School Board. He was un-
usually successful in this position and later was
called to the famous St. Paul's School at Salem,
New York then under the charge of the Rev. Dr.
Houghton. He was made instructor in mathe-
matics, his favorite branch of study in his college
course and where he was a prime favorite with
Prof. ("Ferox") Smyth. Mr. Towle had his
usual success at St. Paul's, but he longed for a
more independent if not larger field for his work.
Leaving Salem he opened a private school for
boys in New York City. Here his reputation
soon reached the directors of Trinity School and
he was offered the position of head-master, which
he accepted and filled with most gratifying re-

suits till his death.

Mr. Towle was the possessor of an uncommon-
ly happy disposition. No member of his college
class ever saw a frown on his face or heard an
acerbious word from his lips. He was always a
gentleman as well as scholar. It was ever easy
for him to maintain discipline with his pupils
without harshness. As one who was near to him
said : "He had the gentle gift of inducing boys
to do the right thing because it was the right
thing to do." Many letters from former pupils
amply testify to this faculty.

His wife, Mrs. Laura Stepens Towle, without
children, mourns his loss while his surviving
classmates and many other friends will always
hold his memory in fond regret. — H. M. J., Sec.
'58.

'67. — Former pupils and friends of James Wal-
lace MacDonald are planning a memorial to him,
in the form of a portrait which will hang in the
Stoneham High School. Mr. MacDonald was
principal of this school from 1876 to 1892, and
from that time until his death last summer was
an agent of the Massachusetts Board of Educa-
tion.

'71. — In the sudden death of Edgar Foster
Davis of Machias which occurred on February
23rd, Bowdoin has lost another of her older sons
who was prominent in literary, religious and
educational lines.

Mr. Davis was born April 17, 1851 in East
Machias on the site of the house in which he
died. He was the youngest son of the late Fred-
erick and Elizabeth Foster Davis, and a direct
descendant of Col. Benjamin Foster of Revolu-
tionary fame. He prepared for college at Wash-
ington Academy. On graduation from college
at the age of twenty years he became principal
of Thomaston High School, a position which he
held for two years. The next year he spent
teaching in Rhinebeck, N. Y., and then for two
years he resided at Middletown, Conn. In 1874
he was granted the degree of A.M. from this
college.

In 1876 he entered Yale Divinity School, and
for nearly twenty-five years was in the ministry.
During that time he was pastor at Perry, Me.,
Milltown, N. B., Gardiner, Me., and Hamilton,
Mass. His pastorate at the last place he termi-
nated in 1889 and for the next five years was
Professor of English at Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. Then entering the ministry again he en-
tered the field at Wolfboro and Whitefield, N. H.,
and later went to Detroit, and also to St. Louis,
Mich. Two years at Grand Haven, Conn., com-
pleted his work in the ministry, and since that
time has resided in East Machias, spending his

entire time in literary work. In this large field
Mr. Davis did a great deal of good as a pastor
and left hosts of friends in the towns at which he
served. However, it is as an author that he was
best known. He was always interested in gen-
ealogical and literary work. Many of our read-
ers will remember with pleasure his little book of
poems which he recently published under the
name of "Pine Cones and Needles." The noble
thoughts expressed in these poems, and the
smooth rhythm of their lines impressed one with
the poetical power of the man.

As pastor, teacher and author his aim was al-
ways to uplift the poorer classes, and to help his
fellow men — an aim which made him a son of
which Bowdoin may justly be proud.

'yy. — Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary is on his
way to Europe with his family. While there, Mr.
Peary will receive several decorations in honor
of his achievement in reaching the North Pole.

'92. — Another severe loss the great Bowdoin
family has received this last week in the death of
Rev. Charles S. Rich, a graduate who was promi-
nent in the religious and educational life of the
West.

Mr. Rich was a native of Portland, where he
was born in 1870. A graduate of Portland High
School, he, after graduation from this college,,
went to Andover Theological Seminary from
which he graduated in 1895.

On graduation from there he returned to Bow-
doin as instructor of rhetoric for one year, and
then took a pastorate at Stockbridge, Mass.,
where he remained for five years. On leaving
there he went West for his health, locating first
in Sierra Madre, Cal., and later in Claremont,
Cal. From there he went to Colorado Spring for
a year, but. finding Claremont the best place in
which he might regain his health, he returned,
there.

Although most of the time so far removed from
the college he was always interested in Bow-
doin, and in his death she has lost a loyal and
successful son.
