Fellow  Students  : 

In  submitting  to  you  tliis  volume  of  the  Index,  we 
have  to  offer  a  congratulation  upon  being  enabled  to  look 
back  on  a  year  full  of  prosperity  and  satisfaction,  and 
replete  with  facts  which,  as  bearing  on  the  future  of  our 
institution,  are  significant. 

We  allude  to  the  growing  popularity  of  our  college 
and  the  rank  it  is  taking  among  institutions  of  learning. 
From  the  year  of  its  foundation  the  college  has  had  to 
encounter  oppositions  of  every  sort  and  magnitude  ;  and, 
worse  than  all  others,  that  know-nothing  opposition  that 
opposes  simply  because  it  don't  know.  We  are  slowly 
but  surely  living  down  all  this  unfriendliness  ;  and,  fel- 
low-student, don't  leave  all  this  work  of  conversion  to 
the  man  at  the  wheel.  Although  the  ship  is  in  good 
hands,  yet  we,  as  students,  in  onr  peculiar  relations  with 
one  another  and  with  the  public,  act  an  important  part 
in  giving  character  and  place  to  the  college. 

We  suppose  it  is  our  province  to  criticise  departments 
and  practices.  As  for  the  former,  they  are  all  that  could 
be  desired  ;  we  are  instructed  by  live  men  whose  con- 
stant effort  it  is  to  give  us  the  latest  and  best.  Especial- 
ly do  we  notice  the  activity  and  interest  that  has  sprung 
up  in  the  Military  Department,  since  the  advent  of  the 
new  Professor.  Much  has  been  urged  against  the  ex- 
tended system  of  military  instruction  recently  started  in 
this  country.  In  this  age  of  rivalry  a  people,  to  be 
great  and  to  maintain  its  greatness,  must  be   a  nation   of

soldiers, — veterans  in  all  the  details  of  war.  To  be  able 
to  marshal,  equip,  arm  and  set  in  motion  an  army  of 
drilled  men  at  a  moment's  notice, — this  constitutes  the 
reliable  independence  of  a  country.  Our  military  or- 
ganization has  always  been  a  great  feature  of  the  college, 
and  it  bids  fair  to  become  doubly  so  under  the  present 
instructor. 

As  regards  practice,  we  knoAv  of  none  so  demoralizing 
as  to  deserve  censure.  College  students  are  usually  de- 
nominated wild  ;  perhaps  there  are  some  of  us  who  come 
under  the  general  epithet.  But  we  know  that  wild  gen- 
erally means  wide-awake,  and  the  more  of  such  men  we 
get  here,  the  better. 

The  athletic  games  were  a  success.  A  comparison  of 
our  records,  with  those  of  other  colleges,  will  show  that 
we  are  far  from  being  behind  in  field  sports.  The  thanks 
of  the  college  are  due  the  Committee  for  their  judicious 
selection  of  prizes  and  complete  arrangements.  We  hope 
to  see  a  continued  interest  in  these  games,  believing  that 
there  are  real  benefits  resulting  from  them. 

We  have  a  word  to  say  to  the  succeeding  class  :  Do 
not  fail  to  publish  the  Index  ;  there  are  some  in  every 
class  who  will  be  indifferent  or  opposed  to  the  publica- 
tion. This  is  the  only  exponent  there  is  in  college  to  rep- 
resent the  students,  which  ought  to  be  a  sufficient  reason 
for  its  continuance.

'76. 


In  accordance  with  the  regular  course  of  yearly  change, 
the  class  of  '76  linds  itself  enrolled  at  the  head  of  the 
College  lists.  One  after  another  of  the  classes  preceding 
it  have  completed  their  four  years  journey  through  the 
different  branches  of  science,  and  have  departed  with 
their  sheep- skins  to  plow  their  way  to  fortune  or  fame, 
and  '76  has  been  left  in  the  responsible  position  of  Sen- 
iors, the  leaders  and  mentors  of  the  College. 

In  any  question  of  importance  or  interest,  all  eyes  are 
directed  towards '76  for  advice  and  guidance,  and  they 
find  us  not  unprepared.  We  have  only  to  consider  the 
immeasurable  influence  that  a  Senior  class  may  exert  up- 
on the  College,  to  remember  that  our  efforts  will  be 
seconded  by  the  other  classes,  no  matter  in  what  direc- 
tion they  may  be  turned  ;  to  resolve,  that  whatever  in- 
fluence we  may  exert  may  be  for  the  benefit  and  im- 
provement of  our  institution.  Already,  under  our  di- 
rection and  management,  many  of  the  old  fashioned  col- 
lege customs  have  vanished  ;  hazing  and  cane  rushing  are 
for  us  things  of  the  past,  and  in  their  place  has  sprung 
up  a  worthy  class  rivalry  in  manly  sports,  that  for  so 
many  years  have  been  here  either  entirely  unknown,  or 
only  very  tamely  carried  on.  On  every  pleasant  evening 
men  may  be  seen,  stripped  to  the  waist,  running  around 
the  "mile  square,"  and  in  every  spare  hour,  during  the 
day,  base-ball  and  other  athletic  exercises  are  pursued. 
In  all  these  various  games  many  members   of  our  class

take  a  prominent  part ;  more  than  one  half  of  the  Wilder 
Base  Ball  Nine  consists  of  '76  men,  and  one  or  two  of  us 
can  "put  the  heavy  stone"  or  "swing  the  heavy  ham- 
mer" further  than  any  one  in  College. 

'76  will  graduate  twenty-four  men,  the  largest  gradu- 
ating class  from  M.  A.  C.  since  '72.  We  have  been  pe- 
culiarly fortunate  in  retaining  our  members  ;  since  our 
Sophomore  year,  we  have  lost'  but  two  men,  and  their 
places  have  been  filled  with  new  comers.  Since  our  en- 
trance into  College  we  have  had  continually  a  higher 
average  in  scholarship  than  any  cotemporary  class,  and 
our  members  are  all  singularly  equal  in  rank,  the  differ- 
ence between  the  highest  and  the  lowest  in  grade  being 
comparatively  slight. 

We  hope  that,  by  our  perfect  recitations,  our  few 
"  cuts  "  and  "bolts,"  and  by  our  strict  attention  to  lec- 
tures, we  have  demonstrated  to  our  Faculty  that  our 
purpose  in  coming  to  College  is  being  carried  out,  and 
that  we  have  co-operated  with  them  to  the  best  of  our 
ability  in  their  efforts  in  our  behalf. 

Fellow  students,    we  would    say,    in   conclusion,  that 

through  all  our  course,  we  have  endeavored  to  do  the  best 

for  you  and  for  ourselves,  and  when   the  time  comes  for 

us    to   leave   this  institution,    which  has  considerately 

cared  for  us  for  four  long  years,  we  sincerely   hope   that 

we  may  retain  a  bright  spot  in   the   memory   of  all  with 

whom  we  have  been  associated.

'77. 


The  earth  has  swung  around  again  into  its  former  posi- 
tion ;  thus  having  our  premises  established,  we  will  pro- 
ceed with  our  "•  communication." 

Our  class  numbers  seventeen,  a  loss  of  one  from  our 
number  of  last  year.  We  are  sorry  to  have  him  leave 
us ;  his  presence  is  missed.  We  wish  him  success  in 
whatever  path  he  may  tread.  There  also  seeiiis  to  be 
some  danger  of  a  loss  of  two  others,  owing  to  their  as- 
pirations. 

One  half  of  our  college  course  is  completed.  We  have 
entered  the  petted  Junior  year,  the  prominent  feature  of 
which  is  "ease."  Alas  !  Believe  it  not,  ye  young  aspir- 
ants for  Junior  prerogatives.  It  is  but  a  fable,  a  thing 
of  the  past,  and  exists  only  in  song  or  as  a  myth.  We 
spend  the  flying  moments  thumbing  the  leaves  of  an 
"Adler,"  or  pouring  over  the  formulae  of  "Deschanel." 
We've  compassed  the  farm  and  "  tested  grapes,"  the  lat- 
ter going  under  the  head  of  "practical  horticulture." 
These,  witli  some  minor  things,  such  as  beating  '76  at 
base-ball,  occupy  our  time. 

Time,  with  relentless  hand,  has  deprived  us  of  '75. 
We  rejoice  at  their  advancement,  but  mourn  our  loss. 
They  were  our  true  class  friends  and  did  much  to  initiate 
us  in  college  ways ;  they  seemed  to  be  a  set  of  men  bound 
to  succeed  in  life.     We  have  high  hopes  of  their  future. 

As  we  advance  in  our  course,  do  we,  as  college  stu- 
dents, fill  the  quota   of  manners  that  is  expected  of  us  ? 


THE    INDEX. 


Perhaps  we  are  not  yet  altogether  undeserving  of  the 
wild-cat  reputation  which  students  used  to  have.  The 
Junior  class  is,  perhaps,  as  bad  in  this  respect  as  any 
other  ;  now,  classmates  and  collegeniates,  can't  we  obtain 
a  higher  perfection  in  this  respect,  and  overcome  some  of 
this  thoughtlessness  and  carelessness  ? 

Among  other  things  that  have  transpired,  in  the  past 
year,  is  the  very  acceptable  change  in  military  instruct- 
ors. We  feel  now  as  if  we  had  a  military  teacher  who 
understands  us  and  takes  an  interest  in  his  and  our 
work.  Militaiy  matters  begin  to  have  a  pleasure  and  to 
have  an  object. 

Early  in  the  term  the  Sophs,  came  like  birds  of  prey, 
who  scent  their  flesh  from  afar.  The  amount  of  burnt 
cork  they  destroyed  was  astounding.  The  old  clothes 
they  wore  were  peculiar.  They  were  bent  on  doing  glori- 
ous things  to  Freshmen,  but  their  designs,  like  other  bad, 
barbarous  ones,  amounted  to  but  little  ;  they  doubtless 
had  good  reasons  for  this  attack  ;  their  assembled  wis- 
dom must  have  been  great,  for,  when  we  consider  that 
"one  Sophomore  is  wiser  in  his  own  conceit,  than  seven 
Juniors,  who  can  render  a  reason,"  it  is  not  strange  that 
they  should  follow  unkind  and  ungentlemanly  college 
customs.  Is  it  not  about  time  some  of  these  poor  thread- 
bare customs  were  done  away,  and  a  step  taken  above 
these  things  to  something  more  worthy  of  our  time  and 
better  calculated  for  our  powers  ? 

Who,  classmates,  would  have  thought,  two  years  ago, 
that  this  time  would  be  here  so  soon.  We  can  look  back 
to  some  of  the  pleasant  times  and  enjoyments  that  we 
have  passed,  to  the  little  that  we  have  learned  compared 
with  what  there  is  to  learn  in  this  vast  field  of  knowl- 
edge we  see  spread  out  before  us.  It  behooves  us  to  make 
a  better  use  of  our  time,  that  we  may  get  a  full  benefit 
of  our  two  remaining  years. 

Let  us  do  what  we  can,  as  students  and  athletes,  to 
maintain  our  spirit  of  class  independence,  and  remember 
the  requirements  of  our  motto. 


S. 


One  year  of  college  life  lias  passed  away,  and  we  are 
again  called  upon  for  our  communication  to  the  "Index." 
Several  of  our  men  have  left  during  the  past  year,  but 
others  have  come  in  and  we  are  still  the  largest  class  in 
college. 

Our  first  year  here  passed  very  pleasantly,  and  we  feel 
sure  that  during  that  time  we  have  gained  the  confidence 
of  t]ie  Faculty,  and  have  taken  a  high  rank  in  scholar- 
ship. We  can  boast,  especially,  of  excellence  in  chem- 
istry and  mathematics  ;  and  we  think  no  class  ever  read 
more  French,  in  the  same  time,  than  we. 

We  have  aided  in  ornamenting  the  college  grounds  by 
setting  out  about  fifty  elms  along  the  various  drives  near 
the  college.  This  custom  is,  cei'tainly,  a  good  one,  and 
we  hope  it  will  be  kept  up  as  well  by  the  classes  to  come 
as  it  has  by  the  preceding  ones. 

We  have  departed  from  the  old  custom  of  the  college, 
by  getting  class  canes  instead  of  class  pins.  The  canes 
are  neat,  solid  looking  sticks,  and  are  fully  able  to  sup- 
port our  youthful  frames  at  all  times. 

The  Freshmen,  no  doubt,  appreciate  our  kindness  to 
thein.  With  tlie  exception  of  administering  a  little 
medicine  to  one  of  them,  who  was  very  ill,  if  his  pale 
face  was  any  indication  of  his  feelings,  and  kindly  re- 
lieving another  of  the  weight  of  a  cane,  with  which  he 
seemed  inclined  to  burden  himself,  we  have  let  them 
alone.     Strange  to  say,  on  the  second  night  of  the  term. 


10  THE  INDEX. 


when  it  was  the  custom  of  the  Sophomores  to  tuck  the 
Freshmen  nicely  into  bed,  so  as  to  make  them  feel  more 
at  home,  only  five  or  six  of  the  Freshies  could  be  found 
around  the  dormitories,  as  a  mania  for  sleeping  down 
town  seemed, to  have  possessed  most  -of  them.  This 
same  night  our  "infant,"  at  the  head  of  a  valiant  crowd 
of  Sophs.,  made  a  midnight  visit  to  one  of  the  new  ar- 
rivals, but  finding  himself  confronted  by  a  graduate  of 
Yale,  he  thought  it  would  be  prudent  to  retire  and  in- 
gloriously  retreat.  One  evening,  near  the  first  of  the 
term,  when  we  were  quietly  studying,  we  suddenly  heard 
a  cry  for  '78.  Of  course  we  obeyed  the  call  and  found 
that  it  proceeded  from  the  Freshmen,  who  were  on  the 
Campus,  yelling  as  loud  as  they  could.  By  the  noise 
they  made  they  must  have  been  inspired  with  a  great 
deal  of  courage,  but  we  soon  formed  our  men  and  sent 
the  thermometer  of  their  ardor  down  to  zero,  by  giving 
them  a  little  rush  backward,  for  exercise.  After  this, 
we  shook  hands,  and  since  then  our  relations  with  them 
have  been  very  pleasant  and  friendly. 

There  is  a  great  deal  said,  at  the  present  time,  against 
rushing  in  our  colleges.  But  we  can  see  no  harm  in 
rushing  as  we  do  here,  where  such  good  feeling  exists 
between  the  classes. 

Now,  we  will  close,  hoping  that  when  we  again  have 
occasion  to  write  for  the  Index,  our  numbers  will  not 
have  decreased,  and  we  shall  have  gained  much  in 
knowledge.  H. 


We  are  respectfully  requested  to  communicate  to  the 
Index.  What!  we,  "Freshles,"  so  low  down  in  the 
depths  of  ignorance,  and  so  awkward  and  uncouth  in 
military  evolutions,  to  place  a  communication  beside  that 
of  the  learned  and  stylish  "Sophs."  Are  we,  who  are 
expected  to  retire  at  the  latters'  commands,  and  to  be 
suffocated  with  smoke  at  their  pleasure,  to  receive  equal 
courtesy  from  the  upper  classes  'I  If  so,  an  inconsistency 
is  apparent  ;  and  either  the  Juniors  have  descended  from 
their  proper  level,  or  the  Sophomores  lack  the  civility  of 
gentlemen.  To  facilitate  a  solution  of  this,  we  beg  leave 
to  refer  any  one  to  the  President's  tal^  on  the  morning  of 
Sept.  3d,  which,  by  the  way,  is  the  happiest  lecture  we 
have  yet  heard,  and  one  that  we  fully  appreciated.  JSTow 
we  do  not  propose  to  take  up  your  space  with  our  griev- 
ances and  trials,  but  we  earnestly  hope,  and  do  believe, 
that  the  day  is  not  distant,  when  all  class  prejudices 
will  have  been  banished  from  the  colleges  throughout  our 
land. 

We  are  pleased  to  note  that  the  better  sense  of  stu- 
dents, in  many  of,;  our  institutions  of  learning,  has  gained 
the  ascendency  over  hazing,  while  in  others  rigorous 
measures  are  taken  for  its  suppression.  Of  the  many  in- 
stances that  we  might  cite,  we  notice  Williams  College, 
which  has  recently,  through  the  efforts  of  its  Faculty, 
put  an  end  to  the  disreputable  practice.  Commenting 
upon  the  same,  a  leading  educational  journal  remarks : 


12  THE    INDEX. 


"We  hope  for  the  good  order,  good  sense,  and  good 
reputation  of  one  New  England  College,  if  in  no  more, 
that  the  execution  is  as  eif ectual  as  the  hangman' s  knot, 
and  that  there  will  be  no  resurrection  of  a  barbarous 
practice,  either  in  body  or  in  spirit." 

In  some  colleges  Sophomores  are  required,  on  pain  of 
expulsion,  to  sign  papers  to  the  effect  that  they  will,  un- 
der no  circumstances,  haze  a  fellow  student,  while  differ- 
ent methods  for  its  abolition  are  resorted  to  in  others. 
How  the  change  is  effected  matters  not,  but  that  it  be 
done  we  believe  all  candid  persons  will  admit. 

Class  of  '79  !  How  distant  does  that  sound.  What 
endearing  friendships  will  be  consummated,  and  what 
ties  dissevered,  ere  Old  Father  Time  brings  'round  that 
now  distant  year.  But  the  moments  pass  quickly,  and 
the  days  glide  by,  and  the  months  and  years  roll  on,  0 
classmates,  slowly,  but  yet  so  surely  that,  ere  we  are 
aware  of  it,  our  four  years  will  have  passed,  and  we  be 
launched  upon  life' s  fluctuating  tides.  Hence  the  need 
that  we  improve  to  the  utmost  our  opportunities,  and 
that  we  cultivate  those  virtues  and  principles  which  are 
requisite  for  our  guidance  when  our  college  days  are 
over.  In  the  Faculty  of  this  college  we  are  fortunate. 
Of  them  with  whom  we  have  had  intercourse,  we  speak 
in  unqualified  terms  of  praise.  We  appreciate  their  in- 
terest in  us,  and  hope  to  merit  their  constant  favors.  Let 
us  not  receive  the  false  impression  that  to  them  alone  is 
intrusted  our  success  in  the  pursuit  of  knowledge  ;  that 
they  are  responsible  for  any  failure  in  the  fulfillment  of 
our  mission  here.  Classmates,  it  lies  with  us ;  it  is  for  us 
to  decide  what  progress  shall  be  made  and  what  attain- 
ments acquired,;  what  duties  perfoimed,  and  what 
slighted  ;  and  it  is  we  who  are  amenable  for  any  lack 
there  may  be  in  our  acquirement  of  the  studies  here 
pursued.  Then  may  we  so  improve  the  present,  and  be 
so  influenced  throiighout  our  course  that,  looking  back, 
we  can  see  not  one  cause  for  regret.  The  future  is  be- 
fore us.     May  it  bring  days  of  prosperity  to  us  all.

Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  has  been  in  successful  ope- 
ration since  1867.  The  students  reside  on  the  College  farm,  which  is 
^M\  beautifully  situated  in  the  town  of  Amherst,  about  three  miles  from  the 
Connecticut  river,  and  contains  nearly  four  hundred  acres.  The  course  of 
study  and  training  continues  four  years,  special  attention  being  given  to  Agri- 
culture, Horticulture,  Veterinary  Medicine,  Chemistry,  Botany,  and  Civil 
Engineering.  Graduates  receive  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  from  the 
College,  the  diploma  bearing  the  signature  of  the  Governor  of  the  State,  and 
those  who  desire  it  may  also  take  a  corresponding  diploma  from  Boston  Uni- 
versity. The  expenses  are  moderate,  and  the  education  thorough  and  practi- 
cal. For  a  copy  of  the  Twelfth  Annual  Report,  containing  scientific  papers  of 
interest,  and  full  particulars  concerning  the  Institution,  address
