The HANDSOMEST CATALOGUE OF 1900
ast year we printed and distributed 300,000 catalogues. This year we printed and shall distrib-
ute 350,000 catalogues of the now world famous "Planet Jr. Goods." Our last year's cat-
alogue was acknowledged to be the best, most instructive and handsomest catalogue ever
issued devoted to a similar subject. Our 1900 catalogue will be superior in every way to
that one. It is profusely and handsomely illustrated with photographed farm scenes from
all Europe. Australia, South America and other foreign lands. In addition to being beautiful it will be
most instructive as to the quality and utility of the goods it represents, and as to the agriculture,
gardening, etc., of foreign lands. The new catalogues are now ready and will be mailed free on
application. The " Planet Jr." line comprises Seed Drills, Wheel Hoes, Horse Hoes. Cultivators,
Harrows. Two Horse Cultivators and Sugar Beet Seeders and Cultivators.

his Society aims to give to the poor and to
those of moderate means the best home nurs-
ing possible under existing circumstances.
The nurses visit all classes, and while a mod-
erate fee is asked no case is refused if unable to
contribute to the service.
The Society at all times stands in need of money to pay the salaries of its nurses, who are
trained women, and to maintain the household for them. Rent is not required as the owner of the
house very generously remits that. Another need of the Society is clean rags, (either cotton or linen)
for which its work makes a constant demand.

Edited bv the Class of /goo
N attempt was made in 1899 to make
the Athletic Annual more truly
indicative of general college life by the
addition of College and Class Depart-
ments. This met with such approval that
we have taken a step farther and assigned
one half the space to the Senior Class to
be edited as a Senior Class Book in accord-
ance with the custom of many of our
sister institutions.
This Department has been conducted by
the Class Committee entirely indepen-
dently, and all credit or responsibility must
be given to them alone.
"We trust our many friends and Alumni
will give this yearly report, now published
for the seventh time, the same cordial
greeting as in former years, and consider
any failures of the present year as pre-
paratory efforts for a strong athletic future.
The editor would express his appreciation
of the work of the Class of 1900 in prepa-
ration of their department, and also render
thanks to Mr. Chase for photographic
assistance.

SEASOn
t this season of the year, foot-ball can claim but little space, still
a resume of the season must be given, to preserve the complete
athletic records of the year.
For the most part, the foot-ball season was a thorou,ii^hly
successful one, as a glance at the list below will prove. JNIany
large and important games were won, and we feel that the circumstances
which allowed the defeat in ///e great game with Swarthmore were most
unfortunate.
We also fully believe that the prospects for the season of 1900 are
more than favorable.

perhaps the most important Gymnastic event of the year was the joint exhibition with
Columbia University, at Witherspoon Hall, February 17th, comparative criticism
upon which was very favorable to Haverford, and it is to be hoped that these mutual
relations may be sustained. While the blizzard weather prevented the financial
element of success, at least to the degree expected, the audience was thoroughly
representative and enthusiastic.
Other events of importance were the Wilmington exhibition on March 3d, and the joint
competition with Rutgers College, on the 17th. In the latter honors were pretty evenly
divided save for two-specialty events of our opponents. W. P. Philips, 1903, won a place for
the College in fancy club swinging, at the Intercollegiate meet in New York.
The beautiful new Gyqinasiura, the gift of loyal Haverford Alumni, is now well under way
and with its spacious Hall, Trophy, Alumni and Reading rooms, baths and swimming pool,
should promise an eventful future for Haverford, in physical upbuilding, and inter-collegiate
Gymnastic standing. The Director would here add his heartfelt appreciation for loyal
Haverfordian support in aiding the movement for the much needed addition to Haverford'&.

large aud enthusiastic company
of Haverfordiaus witnessed
the annual game with Har-
vard, a game which resulted in over-
whelming victor}' for Haverford. The
features of the game were the mag-
nificent stands of Hinchman and
Sharpless for 40 and 70, respectively,
and the superb bowling of the latter,
with 9 wickets for a total of 8 runs.
This victory presages well for the
trip across the water and will sharpen
general Haverfordian interest in the
outcome. Little need be said of this
game, as the appended score tells its
own tale.

THE CRICKET TOUR
he cricket team sails for England on the " Pennland,"' from Philadel-
phia, on June i6th. Air, Cope, of the Class of '69, has had
charge of the arrangements, most of which have been com-
pleted. Fourteen matches will be played, the tirst at Malvern,
and the last at Cambridge. Between these two the most impor-
tant opponents will be Harrow, Eton, Winchester, Clifton, Cheltenham, and
Rugby, although it is safe to say that all the Englishmen will give good
accounts of themselves. The personnel of the team has not as }-et been
made up, but it will be chosen from the following : Allen, Carter, Justice,
Emlen, Alifflin, Sharpless, Hinchman, DeAIotte, Patton, Sharp, Gummere,
Dennis, Roberts, Wood, Cookman, and Drinker.
It is hard to predict the batting strength of the team, as onl\- two innings
have been completed. Up to the present writing, Sharpless, Justice, Carter,
Patton, and Hinchman have done the most consistent scoring. Sharpless
and Patton have been the most reliable bowlers. The fielding, at times good,
has been somewhat below the average of recent Haverford teams. Of the
seven matches played, three have been won, one lost, ana four drawn. All the
draws have been largely in Ha\-erford's favor, howe\-er. ^\'ith good weather
conditions, the team should be quite successful on the other side. W. S. H.

HAVERFORD IN ENGLAND, 1896-1900
^::;:;^^he writcr having l)ccii nr<;c(l ])y the editor to furnish a little
=-— ^'^ " copy " for this number on the above subject, would preface it
by sayin<^ that he does not wish to pose as a prophet (did anyone
ever know a reliable one in cricket ?) ; anjthing said as to the
future will be only ''guesses ;" as to the past, the readers of this
are as able, mostly, to form an opinion as himself, being familiar
with the record.
Of course, the first thing everyone remarks, even the " kids," is :
*' There is no Lester in this team." If they would enlarge that by adding
that Lester has been practically lost to American cricket since itSgj, and that
we look around in vain for someone who seems at all likely to fill his shoes
from among all the " colts," they would be giving utterance to a much broader
truth. It is as an object-lesson to the said " colts " that this loss falls heaviest
on our American cricket ; for where can we show them, independent of
Lester's mere cricketing abilities, such a model of infinite patience, pains-
taking perseverance and endurance in an athlete ? The way Lester played
in 1896 and 1897 makes one remember what "Tom Brown" said: "It's
more than a game ; it's an institution I"
During the past four years the writer has heard the judgment of some
of the best critics in England to the effect that his record there in 1896, when
lie compiled about 1 150 runs (with an average of nearly 80), always on strange
grounds and always against new bowlers, was the finest record for a \oung
batsman that the}' ever knew of. And at the same time he was hard worked
in the bowling and constantly traveling. Space will not allow more to be
said of Lester, however, than that he holds at least a unique place in the
annals of American cricket. Next to Lester a " record " was certainly made
for our cricket by Scattergood. To illustrate this it is only necessary to
recall the delight of old Titmarsh (who was umpire) w^hen he stumped 3 and
caught I or 2 in the ]\Iarylebone Cricket Club innings at Lords ? It was on
this occasion also (another illustration) that he hit 6 successive balls into the
ropes ; and more than one of the fielders turned somersaults of joy. Adams,
though not in the same class as Lester, often piled up a goodly score (once
125), and as a more showy bat he appeared to score the faster, but Lester's
constant on-side play kept him ahead. Adams bowled even more than Lester,
and, like him, with great judgment. He got top average. A. B. Miflfiin two
or three times rolled up a good score in his sturdy fashion, but Howson and
Wistar failed to come off except once or twice. Hinchman (C. R.) did a lot
of hard work in bowling, and some others in fielding, but mostly they did
not come up to their home records.
The Haverford team who will go this year is made up largely of players
who have been well known in coUegfe and local cricket durinof the last few
seasons. The reader therefore is pretty familiar with their records. Six of
them have played once or more for the Philadelphia's Colts' teams, in some
places with considerable success. The captain, W. S. Hinchman, first came
into notice as a Belmont Junior about 1893, and in him and F. C. Sharpless
the Merion last season had their most reliable run-getters. W. W. Justice,
€. J. Allen, S. \V. Mifflin, R. H. Patton, and C. H. Carter are also likely to
_give a good account of themselves at the bat. L. W. DelNIotte can punish
loose bowling severely, and A. C. Wood and R. M. Gummere both bat in
good form, the aggregate making a much more " level " batting side than the
'96 lot, when little was added to the score, as a rule, after the fall of the sixth
wicket. In bowling, Sharpless, DeMotte, Patton, Justice, Hinchman and
Wood will likely average quite up to the "bowling trio" of 1896, with the
great advantage of being able to relieve each other, besides giving more
variety in style. There are also two or three more who can "trundle a bit"
if needed. De]\Iotte's bowling has had a great deal of criticism, but on
favoring English pitches and against batsmen who have never played him he
is quite as likely to be as effective as he was against the Englishmen here two
or three years ago. He will have excellent support behind the stumps and in
the field. While not equal with the gloves to Scattergood at his best, D. A.
Roberts and S. W. Mifflin will be able to do between them what the former
did alone in 1896 in a satisfactory and eflScient way. They both showed
excellent form in this department last season. Among the one or two others
who are likely to go, W. \\ Dennis has shown himself to be one of the surest
and quickest fielders, both near the wicket and on the boundary, lately seen
in Philadelphia, besides being a very hard hitter.
The English public school elevens go up and down from year to year, as
do our scholastic teams here, and it is useless to guess which will show the
strongest sides this year. They may be quite different from 1896, some of
the weak ones of that year proving quite strong, and vice ve7'sa. As a rule,
of course, on the average, Eton, Harrow, and Winchester are rated in the first
class, with Clifton and Cheltenham not far behind, and Rugby, Malvern,
Haileybury, and Marlborough following them closely. The others on the
present schedule are Charterhouse, Repton, and Shrewsbury. What the sides
at Lords', Oxford, and Cambridge will be is " one of those things no fellow
can find out" at present, largely " have-beens."
A great effort has been successfully made not only to limit the actual
playing days (four) in each week, but also the amount and times of traveling
between them. Geographically the fixtures follow nicely, and this team will not
spend two weeks in London during the hot days and nights of July, but have
engaged lodgings on the river up at Richmond. The experience and mistakes
of 1896 will be profited by, and it is believed the players can all be thus kept
quite "fit" during the month's tour. Whatever the total result, cricketers
(and others) are asked to reserve both criticism and judgment — final judgment
— till the end. Luck (in which the weather figures largely) has a great deal
to do with cricket in England. The " flip of the coin " and Jupiter Pluvius
often almost settle the results in advance. If the 1896 record is nearly
approached everyone should be satisfied.
It would almost seem ungracious not to allude in this article to the many
words of goodwill and kindness which have come over the sea this Spring.
That best friend of American cricketers, Mr. Alcock, when asked if he could
undertake fixing the schedule once more, replied that he would not only " be
proud to do it, but would have felt hurt had he not been asked." This and
such expressions as, "So glad to welcome Haverford friends again," and
" Of course, you will stay with me, as before," give some idea of the spirit
and tone of the many letters received. Are there any finer men than real
gentlemen cricketers ? The writer has not found them, in many lands.
And Haverford is proud to know that she has earned their goodwill on both
sides of the sea. H. C.

THE MUSICAL CLUBS
lie present season has been one of the most successful in the
history of the ^Musical Association.
Be^^-inning with a most cre(lital:)le " Alusicale" in Ahnnni
Hall on January ninth, well attended and financially renumer-
ative, they next extended their services to the Gymnasium
Team for the Joint Gymnastic Meeting with Columbia on February 17th,
and this was followed by a similar joint entertainment with the Gymnasium
Team at Wilmington, on March 3d.
Two benefits at Wayne, several church gathering entertainments in
Philadelphia and suburbs, and opening selections at College Oratorical Con-
tests concludes the summary of work for the busy musical year of 1899- 1900.

he Haverfordia)i still pursues the even tenor of its
way. Supported as it is on the one side by the
Alumni, on the other by the student-body, whose
demands in some measure conflict, no radical
change is to be thought of without deep con-
sideration. A proposition to discard the present cover in
favor of one more artistically designed was laid upon the table
indefinitely. Within the magazine, however, there have been
several alterations. On the second page of the cover has
been placed a directory which gives the officers of the most
important college organizations — a rather difficult matter, by
the way, since they seem to be in a constant state of re-
election. The general tone of the magazine has, if possible,
turned more toward literary effects than heretofore, and this
was brought about chiefly by means of the productions of the
advanced theme course. During the winter some good short
bits were unearthed and given to Haverfordians as " Sketches,"
while longer articles came from the same source. It argues
well for a higher literary standard to say that the great bulk
of the matter published since last fall has come from this new
course of theme work. An exchange department, which
flourished long ago in past Haverfordians^ has been restored
to its old place as a part of the magazine, but is confined to
the last page. Here also, such new books as are interesting
to Haverford men are briefly reviewed.
The prize of five dollars for the most work accepted and
published by the Haverfordian was awarded to R. H. Patton,
1901.

»s every Haverfordian knows the Loganian has been for a long series
of years an active literary organization, bnt of recent years it has
devoted its entire energy to the fostering ot college debating.
All the college debates are held under its auspices and the inter-
class debates form an interesting feature of its mid-winter program.
The Sophomore Freshman debate in Alumni Hall on February 23d was
won by the Sophomores, who had the affirmative of the question : Resolved
that strikes are productive of more harm than good to the laboring classes.
The unusally large number of college lectures, added to the college func-
tions, which take so much of an upper classman's time, made it advisable to
have no Senior-Junior debate this }'ear.
Much interest was manifested in the second annual debate with the Pliilo-
mathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania. The debate was held
in the University Chapel on ]^[arcli 30th and a large number of Haver-
fordians w^ere present. Messrs. W. B, Bell, F. R. Cope, Jr., and H. \\ Bullinger
(G. J. Walenta, alternate), represented the Uoganian vSociety. The question
was, " Resolved that the action of Great Britain in regard to the Transvaal
since 1884 is justifiable/' Haverford had the affirmative and were finally
defeated by Messrs. Tryon, Rice and Kellam of the Philomathean.
Though the debate was lost the year must be judged by the increased
interest in debating to have been a successful one, and the generous approval
of those Haverfordians who attended the debate leads us to hope that
Haverford on the debating platform is marked ])y the same stamp of excel-
lence that characterizes her on the field and track, in the study and
librarv.
YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
lie object of tlie Christian Association in the Colleg-e is to promote
j^rowth in grace and Christian fellowship among its members,
to stimnlate aggressive Christian work by and for the students,
to train them for Christian service and to influence them to
kad consecrated lives as well in distinctively religions callings as in secular
pursuits.

PREFACE
11 presenting this record of
onr class to }-ou, our class-
mates, we hope that you
will pass over the omis-
sions and errors that we
have made. We have endeavored to
compile as briefly as possible the events
of the four years spent here, and if in
the years to come, when }ou pick it
up, it will help you to live over again
those halcyon Haverford days, our
purpose will ha\'e been accomplished.
Our strongest wish and dearest hope
is that it may be an additional link to
bind us more closely to our Alma
Mater.

FRESHMAN HISTORY
ineteen Hundred — the largest Freshman Class up to date — crept
on the campus in sections late in September, 1896. It was
<;enerally supplied with sore-throat mixtures, Latin dictionaries,
and other useless impedimenta. Beery, who had spent a year at a
revered institution of learning up the State — and therefore
was, so to speak, on to the curves of revered institutions — brought eleven
trots. Frank Cope had a stuffed troUeeloo bird. Our Native American Hens,
and nine gross of D. V. O. C. postal cards. Nap Logan just came along with
his suit of twenty- seven dollar English pajamas, which were the pride of the
class until Dan ]\Iiller had his new wall paper hung. So equipped, we
started to avoid the pursuit of knowledge.
The first few days were crowded with history. The Sophomores
" visited " us. Ed Freeman put a new front on his patent interchangeable
socks, we elected our class officers, J. M. was late to English, and Rryan made
a great speech in Boston, ^^'e also won the foot-ball rush from '99 and gave
the greatest soapslide in histor_\-. It was during the former of these two
interesting events that the festive Dog and Charlie Yocum first came into
prominence. The Dog's fair hair will long be remembered slipping lightly
along towards the Sophomores' goal in the run that won the day, and Charlie,
lying flat on his l)ack, with the ball on his stomach and two entire classes on
the ball, is something a wise man should keep in mind always — as a warning,
if somedav he should love a son, and the son should clamor to rush.
Then came the Y, 'Si. C. A. reception where we first heard one of B 's
ironclad jokes shriekhig throngh the air. It was there, too, that Harry
Drinker broke all existing records for eating ice cream and E. B. under the
languishing glare of the electric lights devoured seventy-nine lady fingers
and cried for more. On the whole that first fortnight was a state of chaos.
But, dim through the dust of the blanket tossings the first recitations, the
pride of taking our early "cuts," the factions sworn to and forgotten, and
the passionate friendships, born and dead within a week, we see the onward
march of formation until, about the middle of October, we emerged a kind of
shapen Thing, which bore fair promise of some day becoming a class. We
had in that time learned to borrow one another's collars without asking for
them, to make fair cocoa, and to swear easily at the bell that roused us from
our shortened slumbers. The sky was red with the torches of the great
political campaign which burned across the country as no other had done
since the Rebellion, and filled Frank Cope with all kinds of gloomy premoni-
tions and horrifying statistics. As became the intelligent youth of America
we attended e/i masse all the political meetings in the neighborhood, and to
Cope's great disgust frantically cheered every point on both side, with the
impartiality of Anglo-Saxon Freemen. Discussions of all kinds were hot
and furious. The imperturbable Baa Baa alone maintained the dignity of a
neutral. At one time he was strongly suspected of favoring sound money,
because the tobacco trust was backing the Republican party, and he is said
to have spent several hours in attempting to evolve a fitting song — to the
tune of Lorellei — in which to embody his convictions. Fortunately he
could find no rhyme to McKinley, so he gave up politics and took to Hoyle,
wath E. B. and \'olups. On election night we all went to the city to see the
returns come in. I still shudder at thought of that dreadful next morning,
when, sleepy, dirty and ignorant, we trailed back to college with our eyes full
of cheap tobacco smoke, and our heads empty of everything but a painful
desire for sleep. We straightway eschewed politics and turned to foot-ball
and Thanksgiving.
This veritable History is being written far from the walls of Barclay, and
far from even the meagre records of our Freshmen ]Minute Book. And for
these reasons it is impossible to enter into the details of that time as the
veritable Historian would like to do. John Richard Green might have filled
seven Shorter Histories with the doings of our Famous Forty, and yet have
told but the nth part. And so I shall try to take only a few random shots at
the fleeting flock of memories (metaphor) and if I happen to hit anything
worth eating, you may have it — bones, feathers and all.
First, the Professors. Who is it tliat looms up largest across the shadowy
" Mirror of Recollection " — rising " rather in sorrow than in anger," and
standing with one foot at an angle of 76° X. W., and the other wagging
S. E., like a broken crab leg in the rear. Poor old Br , oh, ye long
greaved Greeks, mind you the thoughtless days when the pipe bounced
merrily even from Kingy to Drinker, and the mouse fled lustily from foot to
foot? Shades of a howling P'orum I Come, too, those memorable hours with
Ik and P>nie, when Bobby Burdette drained Lake Erie through a tw'o inch
pipe in eight minutes, and Levick proved conclusively that, if one leg of a
right angle triangle was 4 and the hypotenuse 5, the other leg was x
because the logarithm of i is Infinity. A. C. L. — " What memories rise
before us at the very name I " One's thoughts run rapidly to a roaring room
with stammering orators proclaiming in stricken tones that they had an
animated desire for either liberty or death, while their fellows pelted them at
opportune intervals with sheets torn from Wendell's Rhetoric, and cheered
furiously whenever anybody forgot his lines and tried to improvise. The
others — their names, like Love, tell their own story.
Of what mischief we did? Perhaps it is heretical, but as oi.e looks back
to that good old year, it is the mischief one likes the best. Xight after night
we sat robed in spotted dressing gowns, drinking chocolate by candles, until
the world slept — if it could sleep while we sang. One by one, the grinds or
luxurious took up their lights and stole off to bed, and then, at after midnight,
there was nearly always the same small circle left: — Beery in a corner,
hugging Nap who was trying to drink his ninth cup of chocolate — Goat,
Dashing Dan. The Oont, Ratty Jenks, Pete Febiger, Skwinks, and One Other^
nameless for sheer modesty. How we sallied forth with Flags and Silence,
how we swarmed fire escapes, and climbed squeaking stairs to the Belfry —
how we dragged innocent sleepers out from pleasant dreams to ruin in the
cold hall — how we planned and plotted and succeeded and failed — these
things Ik, the all-wise, can tell you — he who said we had done more mischiet
than any other class in five years. A compliment for which we thanked him
heartily and got as much worse as we dared. For it was thereafter that one
night in the light of the moon, B stole down on us as we crouched under a
bush by Barclay, and Ikilius, taking him for a tramp, tackled him hard at the
knees, and for a space the two struggled, sweating, on the grass, while the
rest of us stood by, joyously chortling, and swearing inwardly for the pure
joy of combat. And thereafter also, in the wee hours, we were raising a
monument to College Rebellion in the shape of a huge 1900 flag, and Charlie
Allen was perched high on the top of a ladder, fastening the snspending
strings on the rope we had run from the big maple between Barclay and
Founders. And up from the corner where the Rhododendron grows, came
B . He caught us there, cold, with the blood on our hands, and he
turned each of us at the foot of the ladder so that the thin moonlight shone
on our criminal faces, and as he thus recognized each, he said gleefully our
names— Mr. Eshleman ! Mr. Lloyd! .Mr. Jenks ! :\Ir. Febiger ! Mr. Miller!—
and so on. And then he went in, ordering us " to report at my office "
to-morrow — and congratulating himself excessively on his deep cunning — not
knowing that through it all, sitting four feet above his head, on the ladder
we were supporting, was the arch-sinner, Charlie — undiscovered !
" God send Rome such another sight,
And send me there to see."
As to the good we did the college, it was great and worthy. We started
the Trophy Room — oh, ye Freshmen who know us not, see the Case we gave.
We instituted the Committee of Five, and, best of all, we introduced the
Honor System. If this last were all that we left behind us at the dear little
college it would be enough to keep our memory green with those who love
what is best at Haverford. There are two members of the class whose share
in working up the system has ne\-er been fully appreciated. I mean Volups
Seager and Ad. Logan. It was very largely owing to their efforts that the
scheme was carried through so successfully, and that the rules and regulations
Avere so well planned. They .were others, of course, but the others won at
least their full need of praise.
Now, of the seasons shall I pipe awhile on my oaten reed. Fall I have
touched on already — we shan't forget that wonderful time when the trees
turned, and the campus was gold and scarlet — and we stalked about in our
dressing gowns with our mouths full of tuneless songs, and our hearts
brimming with the jo}- of our coming to our first '' really truly own " king-
dom— namel)-, one bed room and half a study. The winter crept on us
before we knew it — that first college winter. Do you remember how the
pond was — ice for month after month. It was an early freezing and a late
thawing, and we kept out skates ringing from early afternoon to late night.
The best ice, the brightest stars, the prettiest girls in the world ! And then
we said good night, and went up the hill, to light our chafing dishes — and
talked it all over, far into the night across steaming cups of Goat's best brew,
and to the dreamily thrummed music of Skwink's guitar and Buck Stuart's
mandolin ! The winter Sundays, too. Shades of Beery's Sunday ]\Iorning
P>reakfasl Association ! We never rose nntil the apologetic Cooper had
ronsed ns tliree several times, when, armed with nin<i^s, we trailed down to
Beery's room, and after cheerfulh' dragginj^' him out on the floor, scrambled
eggs and bnttered rolls and mixed cocoa until dinner time. Well's Coffee
House ? Ah, if you had heard our early Sal^bath wit !
Spring came pseping around the corner at Quaker Week, and when we
drifted back, the campus was glorious with green and white and crimson.
I defy anyone to be out of iiumor in a Haverford Spring. The gentle spirit
of love sweeps over \ou, and you can only dream, and play tennis, and read
Bob Herrick, and idle aloug through ]\Iay and June to the music of stringed
instruments. Listen — you foreigners who read — in the time towards dusk,
when the bats are clicking in the circles playing French Cricket, and you
have been at the Merion Courts all afternoon, winding up with a cold shower,
and a supper of iced tea and strawberries — then, if in your sweater, with
each arm over the shoulder of a fellow you love as only P'reshmen do love,
you w^ander, singing, under the white dogwood blossoms, down to the ice
cream shop in Ardmore. And if you stroll back under the "]\Iay moon,
hearing the music of the mandolins and guitars on the steps, grow louder
as you come from the pond up the slope by the big chestnut trees. Then
you shall know in part what it was to be a Freshman in Haverford in the
year of grace eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, Nap and Beery being
consuls, and the year behind us thick with memories of brown cider jugs
and midnight escapades, and " the love that one young man hath for another."

THE SOPHOMORE YEAR
lie class of Nineteen Hundred sat in the English room. The
late Prof. A. C. L. B was at bat. The Professor started
from a reverie.
" Remember you are gentlemen — and Sophomores," he
said.
" Never ! " thought the class to itself in its humble Freshman way.
" Well, we might begin the lesson, now," the Professor went on. " But
vou understand about that Sophomore matter, don't you ? " he added : " You
see it's this way — it's like the Twentieth Century business ; when you quit
you're just ready to begin — see ? So although you are in the Freshman Class
you are really Sophomores."
Much the class wondered, at that rate, where the Senior Class was
then situated. But being very young Sophomores — or very old Freshmen as
you care to read it, we didn't say anything.
66
We just took his word for it — for the Professor came from Harvard.
And so all that Summer we wore an important air and a cane. But it didn't
fit — it wasn't our cane.
As soon as we came back a.<;ain an important class meeting was held.
The Fall of the year was beautiful in the varied color of the foliat^e — but the
Freshmen went it one better in the color line after the cane-rush. It was Sep-
tember Twenty-third, it was also Ten to Seven, in the Sophomores' favor.
We noticed some differences in our line-up this year from the Freshman
Year. Bell and C. H. Carter, both from Westtown and both " Honor ]\Ien,"
joined ns this Fall ; wdiile the following men had left, but were not forgotten
l)y " The Class They Left Behind Them " :— Shobcr, Miller, White, Hoopes,
Kingston, Logan and Yocum, and soon after the great Sophomore year was
under way, Ross also. But he found that there was really no place like home
and he's back at the old college once more.
Not long after this we met the Freshmen in the regular foot-ball game
and after a short struggle the game stood two touch-downs and a goal for
Nineteen Hundred, and a future full of possibilities for the Freshmen. So it
was not surprising that the track and field events followed suit — forty-six
points for the Sophomores and twenty-six for the Freshmen.
All this time the world of books wasn't ignored, not by a howling
majority. Phvsics was most thrilling and novel to many of us, how inno-
cently we asked what laboratory work was like ? We came, we saw — we
learned to know better than ask such foolish questions. Conic Sections was
really barbaric this year, it often came at two in the afternoon when the aver-
age brain is as distant from the " mystic X " as a Freshman is from Class
Day, Still we survived, and bluffed ! Our English w^as wdiat we prided our-
selves upon, as a class.
'Round about the time of the Swarthmore game an important class-
meeting was held — to decide upon the quality and quantity of cane we should
wear. After mature deliberation and the peculiar conservatism which has
always marked the class, a committee was appointed with adequate powers
and car-fare to go into the neighboring city and select canes. After some
days the samples came out. Patriotism is strong in Nineteen-Hundred — and
the Irish thorn o^ot the office. It felt a little odd the first time it was worn
at the Swarthmore game — something like a golf stick. But only one was
broken — by a passing yell, tradition affirms.
And so the year wore on : " vShall we raise the Haverford standard?"
was a question which was prominent then — and we lent it our support — not
financial, of course, simph- the strong, unswerving support of a Sophomore
67
Class. One night a vigilance committee of ten fellows of onr number were
simply overrun with work and "good times" industry — and the next
morning "Old Curfew" up in Founder's was silent as a deaf mute. The
clapper had disappeared — history doesn't tell how, but soon the same old note
was heard and the official business of the College went on as ever, with
recitations uninterrupted and everything on time. Only, ten Sophomores
felt as though they had signed the Declaration of Independence, or another
petition for a half-holiday.
But the monotony was relieved by the Sophomore Play. "Buck"
Stewart was the joint hero with IVIurphy — and the play was encored. Two
nights of fun, with money in the treasury. The first night had a big crowd
out — for it was the opening night ; the second one had a bigger crowd — for
it was the closing night ! No wonder there were bouquets to burn. Not
long after this the Gymnasium Exhibition came off — and Nineteen-Hundred
was well represented as usual.
Then came the ]\Iid Years ; we had met them once before so we didn't
get the Buck Ague — though no one was singing when we struck Conies
amidships. It was rather steady work for a week or so and some of the
Sophomore varnish was worn off — we didn't own the whole earth after they
were through ; all we Avanted was our grave. Soon after this, we learned
upon earnest inquir}^ that Dr. Hall was still in College. That first recitation
in Chemistr)- — who will ever forget it ? " And do Republics forget ? " as we
used to sing in our Freshman Year. And WHO put up those feet ? It was the
nearest to a squad drill that we'd ever struck in this dear old Quaker College.
" Stand up when you speak — sit down when you think ! Taylor !
TAYLOR ! Which am I looking at ? There— sit down again ! "
Then came Chemical " Lawb " ; bottles and fumes and stinks — more
stinks. " Stay till }'ou see your finish " were the orders of the day. Often
while working in " the din and smoke and sabre stroke " of that battle's strife
we thought of the brave who hadn't lived to see the day. We often heard
from Murphy and " Ad " Logan. Murphy enlisted in the First Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers in April, 1898, at the first call for troops. He was
sent down to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and there received a staff appointment
of Captain, which he served during the Summer. Then he entered West
Point Military Academy in the class of 1903.
" Ad" Logan went out with Battery "A " and was soon made Captain
on General Wood's staff, General Wood being then ^Military Governor of
Santiago. After that "Ad" went to the Phillipines, with the rank ot
Captain, staff appointment, Nineteen Hundred was also represented in the
Naval Reserves by Aloorhoiise. One time he passed in review before a crowd
of his class who enjo\'ed his double quick march as he hurried down to the
station, where the official reports say that he was transferred to headquarters
in a baj^-.^ati^e car. lie that as it may — we had three fellows out of our
number who enlisted in their country's service — and we all feel proud of them.
When April came around it found some changes in the class,
Murphy had gone and soon after the Spring vacation, ^Marshall and
Chand^erlain also left us. Wendell had also left, deciding in
favor of 1901. Now came Biology — a never to be forgotten course;
for the walks we took were surpassed only by the artistic efforts in
the laboratory work. But those walks ! " Tramp ! Tramp ! Tramp ! " And
the time some went in swimming — and the Presentation Day, when wedonated
a handsome present to Dr. Pratt. We were "hot mud-puppies'' we were !
The Class Dinner was a huge success — even if it was the first of April !
We all shed a tear for Mr. B , the hero of the year before, and then
read the menus at sight. We missed Frank Eshleman, who was at home
sick ; but the class gave him a cheer that he must have heard — for we gave
it with all our breath. And remember we were a Sophomore Class.
Not long after this vacation was upon us, and then before we knew it, the
Finals were here — the Commencement Day exercises were over — and we were
Juniors ! So passed that eventful year in our history — interesting to histo-
rians, we suppose ; to casual readers, we hope ; and to ourselves, we know !
69
CLASS HISTORY— JUNIOR YEAR
Mitle reader, these were such delectable da}-s to us. Looking
back now it all seems infinitely beautiful, painted in the
glamour of the past.
Why the casting of the kevels should have alloted the
telling of it all to the present raconteur is hard to say, for to
him it is all beautifully exaggerated. However, if he seems to wander from
the path of probability remember that he has decided to follow that most
laudable advice of Erasmus and — lie with circumstance.
Much of this will be an old story to you. It has already been
threshed over and now comes again as a twice-told tale.
The imfortunate losels of the world who have not experienced a Junior
year probably glance over a class history with a suffering sneer and mumble
something to themselves which sounds very much like tautology. But to
the knowing ones it is a texture of rare pattern, a tapestry on which stand
out in rich colors the innumerable little incidents which, bound together by
sentiment, will always lie sweetly in our memory.
We returned to College in the fall to find many of the old faces lack-
ing, but immediately set to work with energv to carrv out the various func-
tions of life which we rightly believed belonged to Junior prerogatives.
Incipient cases of " fussing " developed very early in the autumn.
Some of our members, believing that it was essential to the reputation cf
the class as Juniors to live up to tradition, developed some unmistakable
instincts. The question, where is so-and-so ? would be asked, but only
knowing looks were received as answer. He had probably gone to town —
" on business."
Several lads — whose names we keep suppressed — believed that they
were strongly gifted by the muse of harmony and one day the following was
heard through an open door :
" So she praised my singing, did she? "
" Yes, she said it was heavenly."
"John I Did she really say that ?"
Then came the answering voice :
" Well, not exactly, but she probably meant that. She said it was
unearthly."
After that, for many days, no music reigned in the halls.
On the foot-ball field we kept up the reputation we had established
and maintained through other years, and went into the game hard. At the
end of the season after making a brilliant showing in the big game, seven
men, including Manager Eshleman, received their " H."
We have always had much pride in the fact that we initiated the Honor
System at Haverford. Early in the fall three of our members laid the
plan of the honor system in examinations before the Freshmen, and were
rewarded by the adoption of the system by the Class of 1902. And now as
the Class of Xineteen-hundred goes out from the college walls we can say
with pride that every class has adopted this praiseworthy and strictly Haver-
fordian institution.
In Bell, Cope and Carter, with Lutz as an alternate, we had a very
strong debating team. In the debate with '99 the 1900 team was victorious
in a very interesting contest. The debate with 1901 failed to come off owing
to some mysterious reason. In the Loganian-Philomathean Debate, however,
on March tenth. Bell carried off the laurels and contributed largely to the
defeat which the University of -Pennsylvania Society suffered at the hands of
the Quakers.
Of our feats in the gymnasium we must needs feel proud. In the
annual winter inter-class Gymnasium Exhibition the 1900 contestants scored
a very decided victory by winning 32 points as against 13 by the Class of
igoi, the next in the race. On the College gymnasium team the class was
represented by the excellent Captain Jenks, Mifflin and Allen, while
"Ousty " Moorhouse reigned as IManager.
In the literary way the Class had its hand in it, too. On the Haver-
fordian IJoard in Junior Year we had the Editor-in-Chief Bell, and the posi-
tions of Managing lulitor and Chief of the Editorial Staff were filled b)'
Justice and Unrdette. The paper can speak for itself.
The social event of the year was the Junior Reception. We do not
need to recall the busy ])reparation of the halls — the artistic talent displayed
in metamorphosing the exceeding plainness of the "math" rooms, nor the dili-
gent rehearsing for the show we gave in Alumni Hall. Bob Ihirdette is to
be thanked for the writing of " a lamentable tragedy mixed full of pleasant
mirth," as one of our members aptly styled it, and although much of the
pleasant mirth seemed deathly before w^e were through, it served to amuse the
people for some forty -five minutes.
And then we swarmed out of doors into the beautiful night — under the
Japanese lanterns that blinked here and there like fire-flies amongst the white
dresses. The lanterns stretched away in long lines on the various paths and
disappeared in the distance down towards the Serpentine.
The attendance at this fete champetre was far larger than at any previous
one. Eight hundred invitations were sent out and more than seven hundred
persons accepted. The beautiful evening enabled most of these to be present,
thus taxing the new hall to its utmost.
On the track we found the one field in wdiich we failed to hold the highest
honors. Here w^e missed some of our old point-winners — Ross and Marshall —
and the stress of winning the events fell on some few men. However we
fought it out bravely, being but five points short in the end and finishing
second to 1902, by a score of 45^2 to 40 ^X.
The year 1900 and the word cricket have always seemed to us reciprocal ;
perhaps because we always had a latent hope of a cricket trip to England in
that year ; perhaps, because we had so many representatives on the college
eleven — the greatest honor which comes to a man at Haverford.
In our Junior Year we defeated the Senior Class by the score of two runs
and seven wickets, 65 of which were made by " Brer" Allen and 20 by :\Iifflin
— both well set and batting splendidly when the stumps were drawn. Then
a few days later, we met the Freshmen, and defeated them by seven wickets,
thus winning the college championship.
On the College Eleven the class was represented by Hinchman, Sharp-
less, Allen, ISIififlin and Justice. On the Ground Committee we had Hinch-
man and Sharpless. In the Cricket Club organization \ve liad A. G. Tatnall,
the Vice President ; and W. W. Justice, Jr., Secretary.
CLASS FEED
Wildlings there were amongst us whose gay and capering spirits had
not yet acquired the decorous instincts attributed to upper-class men.
On the night of the 17th of December —a date the present historian has
cause to remember — a great hubbub and fuss was heard about midnight in
quiet old Barclay. Stealthy creatures glided hither and thither in the furtive
liofht of lanterns. One had stolen from their midst — unbidden — to seek
sweet sleep in quieter regions. Rut the lust for the hunt was on them and
the wildling: blood was eager. Finally thev found the maverick and broken
panels told the tale. But again the wily fugitive fled and again pursuit — this
time in vain. Sober dawn came — later, a bill for damages incurred. The
bill reading " To pursuit of Justice — $6.00."
" Rather expensive justice," was heard to remark our worthy President.
And }et this wildlin^ blood is good. It is this spirit wliich will lead us
on to will in the battle of life. It is the untaiiied s])irit of Hotspur, "to ride
up a hill ])erpc'n(licular and pluck bri<^ht honor from the pale-faced moon.'"
After all perhaps " Le bois tortu fiit le feu droit.''
Long- will we remember the walks up the vista to meeting ; the
tramp, tramp of the feet ; the arm about the friend's shoulder ; the quiet of
the old meeting-house with only the orioles whistling in the trees outside.
We may recall too how from one of us, settling back in the corner of a
secluded bench, came the whisper in a resigned voice, " Now I lay me down
to sleep."
l)Ut perhaps the days that will linger longest in our memory were those
all too short spring days — from Easter until Commencement, the " golden
days and glittering nights " of May and June. Through the open windows
the soft wind came idly, rustling our curtains ; the crack of the bat was heard
in the land and the glad sounds of happiness. After the afternoon's game
came the iced-tea suppers, the French Cricket on the cool turf, the tinkle of
a mandolin at dusk, some good fellow playing to himself
Then perhaps through the quiet and peace of the summer night so that
it seemed from afar, came the sound of a deep voice singing " We won't go
there any more ; we won't go there any more ; we won't go there any more ;
way down — on — the — Bingo — Farm."
After that at Haverford nothing but sleep and much forgetfulness of
things.
SENIOR HISTORY
" The saddest of all tales z^'e have to tell
Is luhen rev bid old Haverford fareiuell y

hese words will be in the hearts of lis all when the Class of 1900
steps up and receives the various dijDlonias on Commencement
Day. For four years have we looked forward to this time
and now when it draws near, how hard it will be to have it
realized, and to have our course as undergraduates at an end.
But we will still be Haverfordians, stronger and better for
ha\ing spent these good years here "in the little Quaker college 'neath the
Scarlet and the Black."
However, it is my task to record the events and happenings of only one
of these four and that, the last, the best, the happiest of them all. I shall
try to follow out our class motto: ''■Scire quod Sciendum'!'' and make knowm
what ought to be known.
When we left college at the end of Junior year, we had twenty-six
members all of whom returned for Senior year, at which time, four more
were added to our list — Allen, W. W., Hiatt, Peelle and White, and thus we
•started out the year with thirty men. The usual class foot-ball team was not
organized in deference to the college captain's wishes. Our spare afternoons
during the autumn were spent in watching the foot-ball practice, taking
walks 'cross the country and doing the amount of college work necessary to
make a fair showing in the class-room.
It was for this ambition of ours to keep from "flunking" that won for
us the the title of the "Faculty's Pets." The foot-ball "H" was received
by eight 1900 men, and it is needless to mention that the final game of the
season caused us all to come away from the scene of battle with heavy hearts,
but this is offset when we remember that we had three roaring bonfires during
our college course.
About this time the class suffered a loss in Howson's leaving college.
Howson was compelled to leave us owing to trouble with his eyes, and while
he cannot graduate with us, he will always be considered a loyal member of
our class.
Throughout it has been our lot to have been most fortunate. Whitall
Hall was completed just in time to usher in our class of forty Freshmen.
The Senior Dining Room was the improvement made during our Sophomore
year, in anticipation of our becoming Seniors. For 1900 as Juniors it was
found necessary to enlarge Alumni Hall and the Library, and in this year the
growing needs of the college, greatly augmented by our class, necessitated
the starting of a Gymnasium fund, and, although we shall not be here to
derive the benefits from the new "gym," we can justly feel proud that it is
the result of the advancement and progress of the college, aided by the
earnest and untiring efforts of Haverford 1900.
To cap the climax, when the time for drawing lots for rooms came
around it was announced that a new dormitory would be built during the
summer to accommodate the increasing number, of students.
We, being Seniors, of course received first choice of rooms in Lloyd
Hall, for that was the name which the Board of Managers gave to it in honor
of our track captain, " Oont " Lloyd. The reason for this action on their
part can only be accounted for by his having such a name.
The plans of the new building stated that it would hold sixteen men
and the necessar)^ number at once made application.
The contract with the builders called for its completion on October the
first, but " tristiim dictu " when college opened, we found out that we could
not take up our abode there for several weeks. Consequently we lived
around the campus in some place or other in sleeping-car fashion, until by
the united efforts of " Pete" Febiger and Professor Collins, we took np onr
beds and walked to onr little colonial establishment.
And what a comfortable dormitory it was, too ! with its hard wood-work,.
pretty mantelpieces, stationary window-seats, and, the best of all, the /7V7/ fire-
places. We had had so-called fire-places in old Barcla)-, bnt they were merely
ornamental, so as soon as we had gotten settled, one conld see nightly, gronps
aronnd the hearths, poking the embers, roasting chestnnts, toasting marsh-
mallows, drinking cider or chocolate and listening to '' Goat " or " Bill " spin
some yarn.
Oh, who will forget those nights we spent as Seniors ! They were not
spent in midnight mischief or in watchful waking for some Freshman's
pranks. They were not wasted in boning " Pol. Econ."or in attempts to get
into absorbing ecstasies by means of Sedgwick's handbook. We had learned
in our three former years how to bluff the Faculty, and so this year we prof-
ited by our experience and studied nothing very diligently except Greek
Scripture, which is the hardest course in the classical curriculum — hardest
in which to keep awake.
Lloyd Hall was initiated shortly before Thanksgiving by having a class
feed in the attic, when and where the old-time life and jollity of our class
were added to by the presence of Professor Walter, ex- 1900, and a frisky
shoat from the College farm, together with some good songs and boxing
bouts.
Then after the short holiday, we returned to enjoy the skating pond and
a winter at Haverford — a winter which was spent in various ways, by some
in working, by others in gymnasium and cricket practice, and by many more
in loafing. However, I can say that the month of January found us all
"cramming" hard for our last mid-years which we realized had to be passed.
Mid-years past and passed, work was begun on our theses which were
handed in on the first of May. The month of March brought with it the
annual debating contests in which Bell and Cope ably represented the class.
Before w^e had recovered from our examinations, the Easter holidays
came around and we left college for our last vacation. Immediately on
our return, the welcome sound of the cricket bat was heard once more and
six of our members made the first XI. During the first week of May, the
class planted an elm tree, on the plot between Founders and Lloyd, and
shortly afterwards " Baba " Freedley's hospitality was greatly appreciated
when he gave a class smoker at his house.
At the present writing, it is probable that the class cricket championship
will be won by 1900 as was the case last year and in the track sports we made
a good showing.
The latter part of May and the early part of June was spent by the
class in being feted by its numerous friends. Dr. and Mrs. Branson received
the class on the 29th of May and on June the first, the President and Faculty
gave us a reception on the Campus. It was this latter function that brought
back the memory of our "Famous Forty " at President and Mrs. Sharpless'
reception in Freshman year. How we had changed in those four }'ears, both
in quality and quantity ! What a great deal Haverford had done for us ! It
was during these last few weeks of our under-graduate life that we fully-
realized and appreciated how fortunate our lot had been. Let any man spend
four years at Haverford and he will tell you where the best qualities in a man
are brought out and developed. Oh, that we could live our course over
again !
The highest aim of a college should be to turn out men — men in the
truest sense of the word and while we do not profess, by any means, to com-
pletely come up to this standard, yet I am sure that we one and all feel that
the nearest approach to it can be made by being a true Haverfordian — a
Haverfordian both in word and deed, and let each one of us remember that
every good act done by us reflects to the credit of Haverford College and that
as we disgrace ourselves, we disgrace her.
Commencement will soon be here with its many attendant pleasures but
it will bring with it also the day when all good-byes must be said, when we
must pack our trunks and suit cases, dismantle our rooms and start on the
journey that is before each of us, where greater things will be expected of
us and greater responsibilities put on us, but let each one of us go forth
strengthened by the benefits of our Haverford life and the close friendships
and associations formed in our class, ever bearing in mind the words :
We'll staud together for Nineteen Hundred
Bound by ties that shall ne'er be sundered
And all through life we'll loyal be
To Haverford Nineteen Hundred
And all through life we'll loyal be
To Haverford, Nineteen Hundred."
CLASS ODE.
{I'o the time of '' Auld Lang Syne.'')
1
The four great years are almost gone,
The books aside are cast ;
And the life at Haverford is one
With the memories of the past.
Chorus
For the sake of Haverford, my boys,
May it ne'er due honor lack !
We'll sing for College days gone by
And the scarlet and the black.
In years to come the thought of days
That now are soon to pass.
Will bring to mind the College joys
And the memories of the class.
Chorus
For the sake of Haverford, my boys.
We'll sorrow not or pine ;
But raise our voices clear and strong
*' For the days of Auld Lang Syne."
The studies now are laid to rest —
With dust the books are gray ;
The halls deserted, echo low
To "the songs of yesterday."
Chorus
Tho' the class may be fore\-er gone —
Its members scattered wide.
Yet within our hearts shall be its shrine
Where dwells the College pride.
As on life's threshokl mute we stand
These halls we would revere ;
And turn to gaze once more in love
On the scenes we hold so dear.
Chorus
For the sake of days that now are gone —
For the sake of years gone by —
For the sake of College, Class and friends
We raise this parting cry.

Way down where ruuibles Hades' flame
And Pinto holds his swa\-,
The 1900 spirit came
To drive helTs hordes awa)-.
With ghosts that roar and roast he fought,
And met each fiend's attack,
As all of us do whose hearts are true.
To the Scarlet and the Black.

Classmates, when the years have swept
Us far from college days,
And gray strains o'er our heads have crept,
And time has dimmed our gaze.
Firmer then we'll breast the fight.
When memories' accents low,
Shall call as of old, in tones of gold.
To the da)-s of long ago.

CLASS POEM
WHAN ONCE the Mid-Years with their questions swoot— ah
The draught of thought had perced to the root— ah,
Befell that on that season on a day
Near " Founder's " at the " Uo>d " as I lay ;
At night was come into that hostelrie,
Wei, nyne and twenty in a companeye.
A Knight there was and that a worthy man,
Who, from the moment that he first began
To go out hunting o'er the trackless waste,
Had had the hope that some day he would paste
The raging, yapping tiger— horrid baste ;
And thereto had he ridden— no man furder—
To— hardly kill or yet perchance to murder I
Now DRINKER was the name this Knight did wear
In bloody trail aud wild beasts' lonely lair.
With him there was his Sonne, a young squy-er.
With locks as yellow as if chrome liquor
Had been his favorite shampoo all his life,
He, too, had grown up in the midst of strife.
You must have heard of MIFFLIN'S famous name
In talk about the gridiron's glorious game !
It's said that when he hit the Swarthmore's line.
That all but Swarthmore thought the play was fine.
At cricket, too, he played in times of peace ;
But thinks the gridiron's "hotter " than the crease.
A Yoeman had he ? Well, they say he had
" GOAT " HINCHMAN, who is quite a cricket lad ;
95
Who wields the willow in a wondrous way —
Once he gets " sot " he stays there all the day,
Till bowlers tire and faint and puff and blow —
And " centuries " to teons slowly grow.
This year he will invade the Briton's shore,
And rich as " creases " come with cricket lore.
A monk there was, who loved to hunt most dear ;
Sure Charley ALL,EN is the name you hear,
When talk is of the streams or trails or game ;
No matter what, to him they're all the same.
For shooting ducks or hunting swift foot hare.
Was all his joj' : no troutjle would he spare
To track the game-bird to its high built nest
The taxidermist alwaj'S did the rest.
A Frere there was — a lively lad and merr}- —
Sure " Eby " TAYLOR ne'er with joke was chary.
Unto his order he was a noble post —
He loved to shoot the Jersey red-bird most.
His room was alwaj-s full of guns and knives,
And relics of the merr\- hunt, that thrives
Where game laws lose their harsh, relentless grasp,
His tales of hunt would make a stout heart gasp.
A Merchaunt was there, who his reasons gave
So stern in manner and in tone so grave,
That questions, which had set the lips of Sphinx
Were conquered by him as the rolling Links.
For he played " Go'ff " ! And since his name was BELL,
When he called " 'Fore ! " the chimes would ding ! doug ! dell !
But once he gave up joys of outdoor life.
And set to hitting books and tomes — till knife
With blade of Damask steel was duller far
Thau his keen brain which shone like glistering star.
The College Scholarship they gave to him ;
Phi Beta Kappa, too, with orgies grim
The last of the initiation's woes
Being a Chemic lecture — groans and throes !
A Clerk there was, of Haverford also,
That long had studied : for he'd rather go
To where his books in red and black were set
Than practice cricket in the three-walled net.
CARTER his name—" C. H." his title fair.
In meetings of the class he took most care
Never to use more words than there was need,
For as the clerk he'd write down word and deed ;
So, when a stormy tide of shouts arose,
' I move we do !" " We don't!" " I move we close !"
His quiet voice would rise above the babel
' That question is already on the table !"
A Sergeant of the Law comes next,
A noble figure for this humble text.
He'd study Blackstone, when not playing " Go'ff,"
Or trying to fine in cricket which was " h'off !"
But FREEMAN held that cricket games went tame —
Just give him fool-ball and the " National Game !"
Sometimes he'd fight with spiders — bloody strife
Or play at shuffle board — then life for life.
At trap ball, too, he'd pass the weary day
When foot-ball with the Fall had passed away.
A Frankeleyen was in this companeye —
' Hot " was his tie as is the day-es-e.
Of sanguine mind, at sorrows he would rail.
At Lancaster there's no such word as " fail."
When foot-ball Manager, his team just jumped
On Swarthmore's neck, and hit, and cuffed, and thumped.
The Garnet wasn't granite firm— nay more,
The Whittier F"ielders didn't even score !
So to the Mott-Haveu Conference we sent
FRANK ESHLEMAN, our cause to represent.
A Haberdasher, too, there was with them —
TAYLOR, the OTHER Taylor— dear "J. M."
Oft had he tried the various ways of life,
Photography and golf, and study's strife ;
But books were all too rich for his young blood —
One mustn't over " chew the contemplative cud."
A Carpenter there was, a quiet man.
Who'd always view afar the rush, and scan
The battle's fray ; then cry " Enough !" and hope
That each side's feelings would be soothed in " dope."
For LEVICK was a quiet, peaceful lad.
E'en tho' the breakfast hour would make him sad.
A Dyer— yes, JOHN CARTER'd rather die
Than let a single idle moment fly !
For all day long he'd work and work and work ;
And never for an instant stop or shirk,
In smoke and din of laboratory's strife.
Then practice on the " scrub " at risk of life.
Or, if his anger got the upper sway.
He'd shoot somebody with the kodak's ray.
And who comes next ? A Tapicer-ah ! yes !
Sure LLOYD'S length would measure yards, I guess.
And when you'd see his languid, careless air,
And note " the mild-eyed wonder of his stare,"
You'd feel as if Apollo had once more
Come on his winged flight to this dark shore.
Although he'd play at cricket, foot-ball too.
He never once got rattled, mad, or blue ;
Although a lad of elephantine height
His equilibrium was always right.
A Cook there was with them, or any way
A man who could combine most harmless stuff
And with a match and test-tube, flame and puff.
Change that same harmless into " Rough on Rats."
He worked for Science, toiled in gloomy vats
To bring a smile to that fair goddess' face
Whom men call Knowledge. But within him burned
Another fire— for LUTZ loved dear Bloomsburg.
Her citizens were ancient Rome's strong wall—
And Frank was Bloomsburg's herald, shield and all.
A JUSTICE of the peace there was, whose love
Of precedence was such it made him rove
In scenes of old Colonial days, when men
Wore swords that sang to insults base—" Amen ! "
But when he sat at head of learned board
And doled to each his task, he often poured
From out his soul an ancient song of love—
And vowels— that made youth's upper lip to shove
W^ith sympathetic smile and nervous curl.
" The song's good— but the music— that's the pearl ! "
A hatter was there— skillful and adept
To such extent that HIATT he was yclept.
And truly, though he only joined us late,
So jovial was he, that 'ere soon his state
Was of an ancient member of the class.
We hope his former College friends, en masse.
Are like their representative that's been
With tis this year— three years too late, I ween.
With us there was a Doctor of Phisik !
There's no ill in this world he couldn't lick ;
For when he'd say " The trivial humor's pawst ! "
The Bombay Plague would pale and stand aghawst !
Full many an hour he'd toiled in Chemic " Lawb "
Or analyzed the cat, — heroic job !—
But never did " Doc " JENKS'S iron nerve
Flinch with the deadly razor— but with curve
Of practiced hand he'd cut the muscles out.
And leave at length but memory's bloody clout !
The Reeve who was a slender, studious man
Knew very well that Government would span
The earth's broad surface in a short decade.
For Weinerwurst, in books of highest grade
Translated from the German into French,
And thence thrown into English with a wrench
Of grammar and of idioms untold.
Explained at fullest length, and very bold
In style, proclaimed the wondrous fact
That Spregghof said the same with Prussian tact!
But marvel not that thus he toiled— perceive
His last name COPE— his surname FRANCIS REEVE.
A Schipman was there who had often sailed
Along the Jarsey coast ; and sometimes hailed
Great Neptune as " old string " when he felt ca'm.
His skill was far renowned for hunting clam.
What's in a name ? Hunt TATXALL in the scroll
Of battle's story, and 'ere long there'll roll
Into your ken the title Commodore ;
And after it the name this schipman bore.
The Miller was a warm lad— an' it please
He'd do the quarter mile with utmost ease.
For WHITE was one of four to represent
The class upon the track. Once he gave vent
To feelings that should make a class feel proud—
' At Haverford there's sure a pleasant crowd."
Now since we can't do more than imitate
Such generous feelings— we'll reciprocate !
A man there was who came 'neath Southern skies
Whose only joy was in his noble State.
For ALLEN- William Williams his surname-
Thought much of North Carolina's sunny fame.
For there they didn't break the precious peace,
Or slay the ruler lest the votes increase.
For North Carolina holds Kentucky wrong-
Unworthy subject for the tale or song.
" But North Carolina "—then would ALLEN soar
To patriotic heights till time was o'er.
A man from Germantown there was who played
At cricket— and at golf if time delayed.
But first and last he looked on Art's fair face ;—
For EMLEN claimed that books have second place ;
The pen is mightier than the sword he taught ;—
And from experience this phrase he's caught :
"The brush is mightier than the pen "—that is
For svork that's going to be a lasting " biz."
Another Philadelphia man was there.
Who when he thought on Schuylkill broad and fair,
Was straightway filled with various kinds of ' ' grouch ,
And troubled was till very Nature crouched.
What bard can rightly tell Achilles' wrath ?
What Senior tell of FEBIGER'S ? A lathe
Might try as well to hold our theses' weight —
Which all in all would overflow a crate.
But when this varying mood would pass away
'Twas hard to find a lad as free and gay —
For with the Higher Math he'd lightly toy
And call the latest Lunar Theory coy !
A man from Maine, with patriotic zeal,
Was there — Who'd also praise his commonweal
Till men who thought they'd loved their States grew cool ;
And realized the deep and gloomy pool
In which their ignorance had plunged their mind ;
Because, in truth, they'd never seemed to find
That Maine, so HAL,LETT argued, sets the pace—
And ne'er will wear a shadow of disgrace.
A man of fame was of the merry throng,
Whose name was born by one " crack " team — so strong
That they were " SHARPLESS " named— and carried bats
And eke some mighty scores — and plays galore.
For Sharpless was with Hinchman in this game.
Which by a foreign trip will spread its fame
In this fair land of ours. And foot-ball, too.
Was of the many things he'd often do
When studies weren't, as often, " just a few."
Give me the crease," he'd quote, " and take the ground ;
Give me the crease, and all the world goes 'round !"
But SENSENIG was the " Blue Flower's " truest friend,
In all his way he'd never swerve or bend —
But keep right on with perseverance strong
Till he'd attain that ead for which he'd long.
But when he reached the goal — this flower, alack !
Was changed to a diploma — red and black I
But such is life," the poet truly says —
The surest way to win is bluff — or guess !
From great Ohio's famous Commonweal
Came one who sang Mac's praises, peal on peal ;
Peelle was no sluggard ; when it came to " Pops,"
Sure G. O. P. was solid as the crops
Which spoke of good times and Protection's sway.
We some of us agreed, and some said " Nay !"
But what's the use? When College work is done
We'll dabble in the politician's fun.
Another was there of the company
Who held the Boers were sons of liberty ;
And with some others firm maintained the view
That England's was a greedy, grasping crew,
That came to Afric's shore for diamond mines.
But then this same Pro-Boer, BURDETTE, dec'Ik'^s
To tell why he wore overshoes — nor shed
The things till midnight's drowsy hour cried " Bed !'
Towards even, while the day was yet aflame,
I thought I heard tlieni speak a certain name ;
And as they did their faces brightened fast
And loud they sang his praises ; till at last
I asked them' what this name and man might be.
And answer gave they none ; yet you might see
That joy was in their hearts, as loud they sang
Their class song till the very echoes rang.
Then turning to me, " Truth this name is dear
To all of us," said one, " who saw each year
His cheery face. For HOWSON is in truth
The bravest of the brave." And all said " Ay 1"
And, while the class endures, so say I.
Now have I told you shortly in a clause,
The name and manners of each man. I pause
To recollect the merry times we had
When at " The Lloyd ;" — sunny day or bad—
The time went cheerily. And may our class
E'er hold its record till Old Time says " Pass !"
Farewell, ye gentil knyghtes and laides, too ;
For NINETEEN-HUNDRED " bids a fond adieu.
FOOT-BALL REPRESENTATIVES
THE CLASS IN FOOT-BALL
he Class entered Haverford with a good lot of foot-ball material
and to show its ability in this direction, started out by defeating
'99 in the Class game earl}^ in our Freshman }ear. Only three
men were awarded the "H," but in Sophomore year this number
was increased. We then vanquished '01 and failed to win the
college championship owing to the fact that the '98-99 game was not
finished. By the beginning of Junior year, several of our best men had left
•college, among whom may be mentioned — ^Marshall, Murphy, Hoopes and
Logan. No class games were played this year and the same can be said of
Senior year.
However, 1900 was ably filling most of the positions on the first eleven
with Mifilin, Sharpless, Drinker, Freeman, Hallett, Lloyd and Sensenig.
Moorhouse was busy captaining the "scrub," while J. P. Carter, e/ a/., assisted
him. Eshleman managed the team successfully throughout two seasons and
Tatnall for the same length of time took charge of the moneys of the foot-
ball association.
It may very truthfully be said that foot-ball at Haverford has made a big
advance during the four years through which 1900 helped to win games on
the gridiron for the Scarlet and the Black.
THE CLASS IN CRICKET
ineteen hundred entered Haverford in the fall of the same year in
which the '96 team made such a successful tour through England.
It was a most opportune time for Haverford to reeeive the good lot
of cricketers w^hich our Class brought in with it. Many of our
men had played on the different club teams around Philadelphia^
and we immediately made ourselves true Haverfordians by taking up the game
of cricket with great interest. Hinchman was the only 1900 man to receive
his colors Freshman year, but in the next year Sharpless and C. J. Allen won
theirs. Justice and C. H. Carter made the first XI in Junior year and Mifflin
played in most of the first eleven matches.
Lloyd, Emlen and Tatnall have played on the second XI for several
years and the class has been represented on the crease by the well-known
" Wheelless," off and on during our four years.
We lost our first class game in the spring of '97 with '99, but in Sopho-
more year after having beaten '01, we were barely defeated by '99 for the
championship. In Junior year we won the College Championship with
comparative ease and everything points in the same direction for a repetition
of last year's work for our Senior year.
It is unnecessary to add that the English trip which will be taken this
summer is largely due to the excellent cricket material of our class and to the
able leadership of Walter S. Hinchman, the second Haverfordian Cricket
Captain who will help our college to keep her place at the head of American
College Cricket.
103
THE CLASS IN DEBATING
t was a proud lot of Freshmen who greeted their victorious team
on the evening when Nineteen Hundred won its first class
debate. Few of us will soon forget the splendid ^arguments
which Murphy, Marshall and Freeman put forward on that occa-
sion to prove that the United States would endure forever. And when the
first two speakers, assisted by Walter, competed with '97 for the College
Championship it was only a minor constitutional point which caused their
defeat. In the Sophomore year the veterans, Marshall and ^^lurphy, were not
in form, and though Bell did his best to uphold the cause of Cuba, the team
succumbed before the Freshmen. By the following year Bell had developed
into the star speaker, and, aided by Cope and C. H. Carter, the Seniors were
defeated. It was during this same winter also that Billy Bell so ably repre-
sented the class on the victorious Loganian team which debated against the
Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania. Owing to an
unfortunate hitch in the negotiations no final class debate was held in the
Junior year. The same might be said about the Senior year, but in this case
the defect was somewhat atoned for by the fact that the class was represented
in the Loganian-Philomathean contest by two of its members, Bell and Cope.
" Discimus disputando.''
THE CLASS ON THE TRACK
11 the cinder-path 1900 has established a reputation for herself of
which we should be proud. We have broken four college records
and still hold them, as follows : Schober's record of 2 minutes
48 seconds in the mile bicycle. R. J. Ross' record of 5 minutes
3/5 second in the mile run. J. E. Lloyd's record of 17 seconds
in the 120 yards high hurdles, and W. W. Justice, Jr.'s, record of 355 feet
6 inches in throwing the cricket ball.
In Freshman year we won the spring meeting held May 4th and 7th,
with a total of 44 points as against 28 by '99, the next class in the race for the
championship. This was the most notable of our many victories, for during
the few years we lost many valuable point winners.
In the Fall of '97 we defeated the Freshman Class by a score of 46
points to 26 by 1901.
In the spring meeting ol Sophomore year held April 11, 1898, we won
38 points as against 44 by '99.
In Junior year we again came out a close second.
In Senior year, handicapped by the loss of many of our best track men,
we succeeded in finishing in a very creditable manner and breaking two
college records.
Lloyd has won 35 points for his class in the spring meetings, Justice 34,
and Sensenig 2,3-
Considering that the stress of winning points in the spring sports has
fallen on some few men we cannot but congratulate ourselves on our showing
as a class.
THE CLASS IN MUSIC
linost before 1900 became settled for its first winter's work at
Haverford it discovered that it possessed a mandolin player of
unusual merit in the person of Harry Stuart. Nor was his skill
confined to that instrument alone, for at almost any hour of the
day or night Buck could be heard on the third floor playing his
guitar and lustily singing the latest light opera airs. Stuart was elected
leader of the Mandolin Club in his Sophomore year. To him, too, we owe
the music to which the success of our Sophomore play may be largely attrib-
uted. Kingston, Stuart and Hoopes were three members of the Man-
dolin Club who unfortunately left before their college course was com-
pleted. Jenks and Moorhouse were the two other 1900 representatives on
the Mandolin Club. The former was leader of the Club in his Junior Year,
and the latter besides being leader of the Banjo Club for one year, held
throughout his entire course the enviable reputation of the best guitar player
in college. F. M. Eshleman and J. E. Lloyd were our other representatives
on the Banjo Club. Jenks was the president of the Musical Association in
his Junior and Senior years.
For music of a more serious and classical vein 1900 possessed in Harry
Drinker a pianist of great ability and one who frequently delighted a select
coterie of classmates with his rendering of Chopin and Grieg.
Thus it may readily be seen that 1900 has been prominent in musical
affairs throughout its entire course. It has always endeavored to increase the
interest in music at Haverford and especially to Harry Stuart and Kennedy
Moorhouse credit is due for whatever success in this direction it may have had.
106
SOPHOMORE FENCING TEAM
THE CLASS IN GYMNASTICS
he crvninastic contest of February 26, 1897, was honored by the
presence of C. J. Allen, Drinker, Emlen, Eshleman, Freedley,
Jenks. Uitz, Sensenig, Sharpless, Stnart, Tatnall, E. B Taylor
and White. In spite of our large representation we did not
receive any consideration from the judges. The next year,
however was a trifle more successful as we managed to secure two points
through 'Preedley and Jenks. In 1899 our third struggle for the champion-
ship was successful and 1900 easily won the prize banner.
In our Sophomore year the Gymnastic Team was organized. 1900
became interested in the team and gave it hearty support. ^Joorhouse was
the first manager and a more conscientious and able one would be hard to
find Harrv Stuart tumbled with the team one year. ^Iiffiin was a most
valuable "thrower" for two years until his studies compelled him to leave
the team. C. J. Allen and Jenks were the other members of the team, the
latter being captain for two years.
The o-vmnastic reputation of the class was further increased by the fenc-
ing of Drinker and Justice and the wrestling of ^lifflin and Sensenig. Lutz,
toS, afforded enjoyment to many with his novel and well executed electric
<:lub swinging.
May 1900 ever give the hearty support to the more earnest affairs ot lite
that it has to gymnastics and the Gymnastic Team.

STATISTICS
A fea' lJii)igs about us.
he best characteristics in a man are considered to be honesty and
strai.^htfor\vardness \vhile in a woman sincerity receives the
hif^hest vote. E. B. says the best quality for a man is ability to
o-et alons^ well with ladies. Another whose name we withhold
voted in the latter case for "love of young."
Brunettes are preferred to blondes by a vote of fifteen to seven while
eight ha\e no preference.
We rise on the average at nine and a half minutes past seven and retire
at four and a half minutes before eleven. We first shaved when seventeen
years one month and three days old.
Eight of us have seen a prize fight, twenty-one believe in hazing and
twenty-two in the theatre. Twenty have kept cash accounts and six have
succeeded in making them balance ; ten are smokers. Six think this is the
twentieth century while twenty-two believe that it is still the nineteenth.
We are much divided on the subject of an ideal man, the highest vote
being divided between Abraham Lincoln and Oom Paul. One of our
promising chemists voted for John Pym. Our favorite smoke is a pipe
though one prefers Dupont's smokeless and another an open fire. Our
favorite amusement varies from sleeping and mixing chemical smells to
writing ethics theses.
The college institution which we think needs most reforming is meal
hours. We want more of them. Ice cream is conceded to be the best dessert.
Tennyson is our favorite poet and Maud our favorite poem although
Paradise Lost is a close second. We are not well agreed as to a prose writer,
Eliot, Hugo and Emerson being tied for first place. One droll youth votes
for Sidgwick. The Philadelphia Ledger is considered the best newspaper
with the New York Sun second. The Little Minister is our favorite play.
For the best college waiter John received eleven votes, Albert eight,
Lewis four, Joe three and Dumb Waiter one.
Milk received the highest vote as our favorite be\'erage with water
second. Ice tea, coffee, beer, Schuylkill water, Scotch High Ball and
Whiskey Ricky also received votes.
Foot-ball, cricket, and tennis stand as our fa\'orite sports with six votes
each, while golf, crokinole, tiddleywinks and bumblepuppy are preferred by
some.
Ten believe that the early morning is the best time for study, while nine
prefer the evening. One thinks that the time between collection and 8.30
mav be profitably employed in this way.
Poached eggs received seven votes against six for fried-and -turned, and
five for scrambled. Two require only that they be fresh. Brer Allen likes
his " loose boiled " and the bloody Oont, that "rare old wag," relishes his
most " when they walk to the table."
Next to Haverford, Harvard is our favorite college with Princeton
second ; while for our favorite woman's college Swarthmore easily carries off
the honors. Wells was mentioned, we think, in one list.
Freshman year was voted the hardest by eleven men ; Sophomore
receiving seven and Junior and wSenior five each. Senior and Junior are con-
sidered the easiest with nine and eight respectively, and Senior is by far the
most pleasant, twenty-two votes being cast for it.
English we take to be the most valuable study, with philosophy second.
Tlie hardest study is mathematics by a large vote, while biology and Scrip-
ture are the easiest. The most pleasant is English.
The quality which we consider most desirable in a Professor is ability to
make one work. One of us, however, considers illness the best quality.
Our highest aims in life are very variable. Among them we find " The
Attic," " To make the girls love me — "(now who could that be?) "5 feet
8 inches," " Cramming green-backs into sacks," " Bar-tender," " To have a
good warm-hearted wife," " Shaving grasshoppers" and " To be the father of
a big large family."
On the average we are twenty-one years eight months one da}- old,
5 feet 9)^ inches high and weigh 154 9/10 pounds.
Ten of us trace our blood to English sources, four to French, and two
Swiss, besides a Welsh, a Dutch, an Irish, two Negroes, a Mongrel and many
others. In religious preference, fourteen stand for Quakerism, three Baptist,
three Presbvterian, two Episcopal, one Unitarian. The others have no pref-
erence. Wc have in oiiv munbcr sixteen Republicans, four Independents,
three Democrats, two Proliibitionisls, and one Deweyite, besides numerous
Mug-wumps.
Althouoh many of us stoutly maintain that Hymen will never get his
claws into us, the average age that ^ve expect to marry is about thirty. If
we take Pres. Sharpless' advice on this point we should all send out invitations
for June 15, 1905. We have been in love all the way from 0 up to
Since entering college we have had four cases of La Grippe, four
tonsilitis, two whooping cough, and one typhoid, pneumonia, pleurisy,
malaria, bronchitis and rheumatism, besides corns, spring fever, pmk eye,
stomach-ache and love. ^ Our Will " reports " freckles on larynx " and two
mention "nausea from large clay pipe." E. B. has had heart trouble "at
Wells."
In the pursuit of glory on the athletic field we have received injuries as
follows : Nine ankles, five water on the knees, four fingers, two noses, two
shoulders, three broken hearts, and numerous sprains, bruises and nose-bleeds.
Manv of us will not admit that we will ever have male descendants.
Goat for 'instance, answers " only daughters," but by such as do, various bits
of advice are given to the future little Haverfordian " Oonts " and " Pretzel
Eaters" such as "Beware of B ," "Bring a lamp," " Don't buy a crokmole
board," "Bluff"," " Don't let anybody jolly you."
We have seen many laughable things while at Haverford, perhaps the
most amusing being April ist when he rose "in sorrow not m anger."
Some of us were most amused in A. C. L.'s class, some by the ^lorley
kids ice-cream episode while others still prefer the B- -Sharpless wrestling
match at 2.00 A. M. under the laurel tree.
:^Ianv occurrences have tempted us to swear, the most frequent being
*' flunking exams." Several answer "when making out this list." Golf is
also a prominent promoter of oaths.
We consider that the greatest good which Haverford has derived from
our stay here lies in the introduction of the honor system in examinations.
We expect longest to remember our first night at college and the '98
Swarthmore game.
Broadening of character we deem to be the greatest benefit we have
derived from our course.
Our future occupations are distributed as follows :
Business 8
Teachers 3
Law 3
Doctor 3
^Minister 2
Working 2
Journalism '
Chemical Analyst
Gentleman
Ice Cutter
^Machinist
Architect

The most valuable college organization is considered to be the Y. ^I. C. A.
Fourteen of us expect to pursue study further, five at Harvard, two at
Columbia, two here, two at U. of P., and the rest in other institutions.

HOSE who are I'ond of nature in her wilder moods, who
love the forest-walled lake, the overhung inlst, the far-
reaching wilderness — but who shrink from "roughing it"
in camp — should send for the Back Log circular, which
tells of a camp whose managers are experts in the art of
■• smoothing it."
Those who want to " rough it " will also be interested. With
its mountain climbs, its trips to the distant deer-haunted ponds, and
its tours by water and carry,
BACK LOG CAMP
will satisfy all craving for prudent adventure, and for the vigorous
care-free life of the woods. Address.
THOMAS K. BROWN. Westtown. Penn>.
Especial
for
Young
Men
Having in mind the fact that there are a good
many young fellows who don't want to buy ready-
made clothing and who can't exactly afford to
pay some swell tailors' prices, and yet want to
avoid the cheap tailors — we have made a snug
corner in our made-to-measure tailoring, and
put into it some of the newest, dressiest and
most stylish stuffs that we have put especial
prices on.
The tailoring and trimmings will be first-class
and dependable, yet not as fine as our finest.
Yet. to insure finest fashionableness for cut and
fit. they will be measured for and cut by our
best cutters.
