The age in which we live demands progress in the means and in
the methods by which young men prepare for the duties of life.
The course of study at the State College is not the result of tra-
ditional methods. It recognizes the fact that the sciences are now
applied in every department of practical affairs in a larger degree than
ever before. The course makes due provision for the teaching of
Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Geology and Mathematics.
Since the dead languages ■ are not required, the time devoted to the
study of Latin and Greek in many of our higher institutions, can here
be given to other studies.
The study of the English Language and Literature, and of Modern
Languages, and the frequent exercises in Elocution, furnish excellent
opportunities for developing the powers of expression. The study of
the Modern Languages also enables the graduate of the State College
to avail himself of the latest scientific results reached by French and
German scholars.
But the course is not limited to the Natural Sciences, Languages,
and Mathematics. History, Political Economy, and the Science of
Government, with special relations to the government of the United
States, receive large attention. Nor are those studies in any sense
neglected that are adapted to give one a knowledge of himself and of
his highest interests.
Mental and Moral Science constitute an important part of the cur-
riculum. While these ample opportunities are offered at this College
to every young man, whatever may be his vocation, the student who
wishes to engage in any department of field work, whether farming,
market gardening, the care of hot-houses, or any other kindred em-
ployment, here finds special aids.
It is the aim of the College to teach every science, as far as may
be, in its relations to Agriculture, and to give all the technical instruc-
tion in this department that our facilities allow. The ample grounds
of the College, comprising nearly four hundred acres, furnish wide
and increasing means of illustration and practical teaching.
Physical training and discipline are promoted by the instruction
and training in the military department, under an officer who is a
graduate of West Point.
In brief, the object of the course is to form the true man and the
effective workman.
The expenses are moderate that the advantages of the State College
may be enjoyed by a large number of young men.
Catalogues furnished upon application to the President.

/'^^ OMING to our many readers and friends with the chronicles of
^^^ our inner college life, we would first of all beg you to look
<^ with great forbearance upon our work, remembering that a
sufficient punishment is brought upon the rash and inexperienced
Index Board when the liabilities are brought forth. However, we
shall strive to fill our place in the unbroken line of those who, since
the first Junior Class, have toiled and suffered in like manner, wring-
ing from their inmost souls those wondrous productions only to hear
the heartless remark — stale jokes.
Thus anticipating our fate, we would only ask that those errors
which may occur be kindly overlooked, and, furthermore, that a suffi-
cient amount of pity be felt to induce every one to invest in a full
stock of this number of the Index.
Dviring the past year President Greenough has proved himself
capable of not only governing the College, but also of raising its
standard both in an intellectual and moral way. Although the ex-
pulsion of men is no doubt an unpleasant duty and frequently excites
strong feeling, it is often no more than just to those remaining, and
when judiciously done must elevate the tone of the College. It is at
the same time a serious matter, and should have good and definite
reasons.
The various unpleasant episodes and apparently foolish acts which
have occurred all round the past year, and which have caused no end
of trouble and ill-feeling, are, we hope, things of the past which may
never occur aarain.
11
Perhaps the greatest misfortune which has befallen the College
since the death of President Chadbourne is the resignation of our
highly esteemed Professor of Mathematics. During his short stay
with us, Professor Basset has gained such an unbounded respect,
admiration, and affection from every student as lies in the power of
but few men to command. His patience and kindness, his untiring-
efforts in our behalf, have made him a model which all must desire to
follow. In leaving his professorship here to pursue higher studies,
we can assure him that he will always hold a place in the heart of
every man who was in his classes, and that each and every one wishes
him the best of success. Our best wish for our College shall ever be
that he may sometime return to fill an honored place among the fac-
ulty of this institution.
We shall miss Professor Goodell, who has been called by a large
vote to represent this district in the Legislature.
Beside his usual duties, which are always so thoroughly performed.
Professor Goodell has attended to the purchasing and recataloguing
of the books of our rapidly increasing library.
Professor Goessman's department, containing as it does the over-
sight of both the College and Experiment Station work, has been
steadily growing until he has finall}' been obliged to relinquish the
recitation of the lower classes to Professor H. E. Stockbridge, attend-
ing only to the upjDer classes and work of the laboratory and station.
Besides Professor Stockbridge, whom the College has been fortu-
nate in securing and we hope may succeed in retaining, we have
during the past year received instruction in Physiology from Dr.
Tuckerman of '78, and in Mathematics, Professor C. D. Warner of
'81 has assumed the chair left vacant by Professor Basset. To all
these we extend a hearty welcome, and hope their connection with
the College may be a long and pleasant one.
Of Dr. Miles there is need of much being said which it does not
become us to say. That his services were secured by our late Presi-
dent Chadbourne with the intention that he should hold a prominent
place in the direction of the Farm and Experiment Station was a
well-known fact. That he is most eminently fitted to fill such a place
has been thoroughly proven to all unprejudiced minds. That it is
the one place wherein his vast stores of knowledge and experience
13
have the least chance to show to the world his wonderful power of
applying the theoretical to the practical is a matter to be most sin-
cerely regretted by all who wish to see a strong union between the
science and the practice of Agriculture. In addition to his regular
duties as Professor of Agriculture and Instructor in Biology, Dr.
Miles has this year instituted a very interesting series of experiments,
involving extensive and accurate measurements of every man in Col-
lege; Dr. Tuckerman assists Dr. Miles in this work.
The Horticultural department is now better supplied with assist-
ants and workmen than formerly, and is in a very prosperous con-
dition. It is blessed this year with a handsome new barn and store-
house.
The President's house, so beautifully situated on the hill east of
the Plant house, is an ornament to the place and affords a suitable
residence for our President, at a convenient distance from the Col-
lege.
The general condition of affairs is excejDtionally favorable to the
rapid advancement of the College. Ample means are now afforded
here for a thorough scientific education and college training at a
moderate expense, and we feel confident that, was the exact condi-
tion of this institution more thoroughly understood, there would be
more to enter each year than the College could accommodate. We"
believe that a great change has been made within the last few years.
Although all useless class-work has been abolished and only that
which is most useful retained, yet the agricultural part of our train-
ing is under such a thorough and skillful Professor that it is now one
of the most instructive and popular branches in the course, as the
experiences of the past year have shown conclusively.
The Military department has been restricted to three drills a week,
but it still seems too much to require of each Senior Class that it be
obliged to spend about one-third of its time on military studies and
drills. The last year of the course is far too valuable for literary or
scientific work to be thrown away upon military.
Athletic sports have been well sustained during the past year; our
base-ball and foot-ball teams have been quite strong, although from
lack of time we have played but few games. We can also boast of
good tennis players and riders of the wheel. Our lack of a properly
13
arranged Gymnasium is strongly felt, especially during the winter
term.
There are many other matters which might be commented upon
either to praise or to criticise, but we will forbear. The new Chapel
is too large a subject to be treated of in as short a manner as would
be necessary if undertaken here; its description will be treated of
further on. Suffice it to say that it is a source of great rejoicing to
see such a fine structure really making its appearance where it is so
greatly needed and where it will be so thoroughly appreciated. It
will be a fit place for the library, which, through the liberality of the
Alumni and friends of the College, has obtained such a good start.
The chapel building will furthermore be an honor to the place, and
we hope that the end has come to the erection of cheap buildings
on the College grounds, and that in future all may be substantial
structures worthy of the State which builds them.
Thus it is with great rejoicing that we record the progress of
events. Thus, as in all progress, something must be left behind in
the onward rush, and we assure you, dear reader, that it is with
the greatest possible pleasure that the '86 Index Board drop out of
the line and fall back into the regular duties of our course. In leav-
ing this volume to your tender mercies, we would once more pray you
to tread lightly above our ashes.

^|T is with a feeling of commingled sorrow and joy that we, for
y^ the fourth time, take up our editorial pen to contribute our
^■^ mite to the Index. We cannot but regret that the pleasantest
period of our lives is fast drawing to a close. Soon we must enter
upon life's turbulent sea to battle with the waves. But with the
moulding our honored professors have given to our intellects, the
spirit of integrity that has been graven upon our characters, and the
energy and push which the class has never lacked, life's battles will
be ours. The storm waves may beat, but with a steady hand at the
helm the ship of state will glide smoothly o'er the waves.
We would take occasion to thank our instrvictors for the ardor and
enthusiasm shown in guarding our interests, and in bestowing upon
us their fruitful store of knowledge. We shall feel assured that
their best wishes accompany us " where'er life's path we tread."
We have at last reached the goal which three years ago seemed so
distant, and the pressure of Senior life rests upon our shoulders.
Let us sustain it with dignity, and, profiting by the mistakes of others,
strive to hold that respect which our situation should command. Let
it never be said, "The College lacks a Senior Class," while '85 remains
within these walls. Forgetting the follies of the past, we should
push forward with undaunted courage, improving to the best of our
abilities the few short months that remain.
The new Chapel, small though it be, yet grand in its design,
promises to fill a link which has long been open, and one for which
the College has waited with patient endurance, to have closed. It is
34
with pleasure that we look forward to the time when our friends and
neigh boi's can gather with the College in its weekly worship and feel
that they are enjoying the same privileges furnished in the best
sanctuaries.
Our genial Professor of Mathematics, who has but recently left us,
carries with him the highest esteem of the whole College. Never
shall we forget the noble truths he endeavored to instill into our
minds, or the still nobler soul from whence they flowed. Whatever
his vocation, or where'er on life's strand his banner may wave, he can
rest assured that the best wishes of his former pupils accompany him.
And now, in closing, we would say to our younger friends, do not
feel that gaining knowledge from books is all that can be accom-
plished in a college course. The mental and physical discipline, the
experiences passed through by our contact with those around us, and
with the world at large, cannot be too highly valued. The man
imbued with sound and just principles, with integrity of character,
and carrying within his breast a Christian heart, is what the world
seeks to-day. Equip yourselves, then, for life's battles ! In the
future, when active in the turmoil of life, you will look back with
pleasure on the useful and happy days spent at your old College
home.

'OR the third time the Class of '86 hands in her communi-
cation to the Index, having attained the enviable position
j^5^ of Junior, with the still more enviable position of Senior only a
step in advance. We have passed the second mile-stone of our
course at College, and in less than two years we shall be launched into
the world to earn for ourselves a name, and put in practice the
training we have here received.
We began the year with only three members, who entered in the
fall of '82; yet enough men entered last year, so that the number of
men in the class has not decreased very much.
The Class of '86 has always taken a lively interest in sports;
although small in numbers, yet she has in her ranks one-third of the
foot-ball players, and four-ninths of the base-ball players; she also
takes the lead in tennis, which has become quite popular during the
last year.
We look forward with pleasure to the years remaining us at Col-
lege, and when we leave our College home, the remembrance of the
happy years spent here will act as a stimulus for each one to do his
duty, and thus become an honor to his class and to his Alma Mater.

^^jyOr^E have at last reached the second year of our College
y^^^\^ course, and congratulate ourselves that we have passed
^-^^~r^^- gJ through the trials and vastitude of our Freshman year, to
the honor and dignity of Sophomores.
We return from the long summer vacation, invigorated and ready
for the year's v^ork. In the year that is passed we think we have
learned the art of applying ourselves to our tasks, and therefore we
look forward with a great deal of pleasure to the studies of this year,
and expect to reap great benefit therefrom, and hope that we may
not only show ourselves wise fools, as the title of our class implies,
but wise men also.
We were very much disappointed in returning to College not to
find a larger class entering, expecting to find it analogous to eighty-
seven in numbers, but do not find it analogous in pluck and spirit.
They are so timid that we take pity on the dear little " freshies,"
knowing that they have not the protecting care of their dear mothers,
and so are very careful not to bruise them in any way; yet we are on
the lookout for some of the latent forces that may be found in their
physiological units, and any day may make their appearance.
Eighty-seven has of course carried everything before her thus far,
namely, tug-of-war and cane rush; the former proved a very slim
affair.
30
We welcome the new additions to the Faculty (though we miss our
former Professor of Mathematics very much), and hope they may find
a very pleasant and profitable residence with us. And now, class-
mates, as we are settling down to the solid work of the year, let us
do it well, so that we may feel that the second year of our course was
not lost or trifled away.

fHE Class of '88 has twenty-six members, and though we
are few in numbers,- we hope to hold together well. Some of
our class, however, have already decided to take up studies
with the Sophomores.
Perhaps some of us were homesick at first, but, if so, this feeling
was soon overcome.
Although we did well in the cane rush, numbers told against us,
and the " Sophs " got the cane.
On the 25th of September, some of the '87 men tried to stop our
class-meeting by throwing into our midst burning chemicals (a trick
which '86 so successfully practiced on them, and from whom they
learned it), but '87 did not succeed.
One or two of our numbers have lately been relieve'd of a bath,
and one or two of the Sophomores also.
We think our lack of interest in out-door sports is made up in our
studies.
The class of '88 fully appreciate the favors the Juniors have shown
us, and the points they have given us.
33
We understand the bill of fare ait the boarding-house has been
improved this year, but, in our opinion, no harm would be done by
a still greater improvement. Some of the class have proved that they
can store up more pie and pudding in fifteen minutes than they can
knowledge in two hours.
The spring of '88 seems a great way off, but if the days and weeks
fly past us as quickly in the future, as they have done in the short
past, we shall be dignified Seniors before we can really comprehend it.
This being our first communication to the Index, we hope any
error will be overlooked, and believing that "practice makes per-
fect," we will try and do better in the future.

A new departure was taken by the Washington Irving Society
during the past year in giving an exhibition of Oratory. This
occurred near the end of the winter term, and the practice in speak-
ing afforded by the society was shown by the excellent declamations
given by Messrs. Leary, '85; Wheeler, Ayres, Sanborn and Kinney,
'86; and Shaughnessy, '87. Music was furnished by the Aggie
Quintette, consisting of Messrs. Barber and Brooks, '85 ; Mackintosh
and Wheeler, '86; and White, '87.
This year a prize debate will occur at the end of the fall term,
which promises to be of considerable interest.

»#^- THE NEW CHAPEL. ^^'
'-X^'
T last the much needed library and chapel building is about to
become a reality. In response to Prof. Goodell's earnest
appeals at commencement in 1883, a committee was chosen
by the Alumni to look the matter up and enlarge the library, which
was at that time wholly inadequate to the wants of the students and
agriculturists who will in time make it a center for investigation and
research.
President Greenough eagerly joined in the work, and through his
efforts the Legislature appropriated $25,000 for a chapel building,
the lower story of which should be used as a library.
The corner-stone was laid November 6, 1884. As the weather
was very cold and disagreeable the exercises accompanying it were
held in the old chapel, where addresses were made by the Alumni
and gentlemen interested, among them, Hon. C. L. Flint, O. B.
Hadwin, Esq., and ex-President Stockbridge. Beneath the corner-
stone were laid a copy of the original charter of the college, an '82
Index, which contains the pictures of the Presidents, a copy of the
last Cycle, and several daily papers.
The building will be of a simple Romanesque style of architecture,
two stories in height, with a tower ninety-six feet high on the south-
east corner. It is being constructed of Pelham granite, from the
quarry owned by the college, and trimmed with brown sandstone.
There is a gable on each side. The first story will be used for a
library and reading-room, and the upper as a chapel. The whole
will be finished in ash and hard pine.
Much has been done already toward placing the books, numbering
about twenty-seven hundred, in an available condition.
Under Prof. Goodell's watchful eye, they have been re-catalogued
this summer, and owing to the present accessibility three times as
many books have been taken out this last term than during any other
sinirle term.

1. AND it came to pass in
the first year of the reign of
James the Green'ite,
2. That a -^certain of the
elders had taught ^those who
were sojourning at the temple
of learning for the second
year,
3. The uses of many cu-
rious instruments, machines,
and tools, with which they
did much sorcery in dividing
land;
4. Thus causing the ^young-
er men who were ignorant of
these practices, to greatly
stare.
5. Now, near the tent of
*Levi the Bursarite (at whose

land
6. Which belongeth unto
that ^Station which doth vast
Experiments in the land of
Aggie.
7. And it came to pass one
day that the elder, which was
learned in all sorcery, called
unto him "Sanborn, the Law-
rencite, and Mackintosh, the
Dedhamite,
8. And John, the Fowler-
ite, and Kinney, the Lowel-
ite; and George surnamed
the Stony.
9. And lo, they were men
of might and of goodly stat-
ure and bold in all daring.
10. And he spake unto
them, saying, "Gird up your
loins for, behold, ye have
much hard labor before you,
and take ye, each, one of
these instruments."
11. And he straightway
69
giy^eth unto each one some
machine of magic. And he
commanded them again, say-
ing,
12. " Go ye to a field near
the house of ^Levi the Bur-
sarite which doth belong to
that Station which perform-
eth wondrous researches in
our land." ^
13. "And when ye shall
find it, deal ye with it in all
manner as I have before
taught you, and find ye the
length thereof with the
breadth also."
14. " And when ye shall
have performed this thing I
will come unto you and see
that ye have done all things
even as I have commanded."
15. And they ^spat upon
their hands and did lift their
burdens everyone to his
shoulder and departed unto
the land of Samuel toward
the tent of ^°Levi;
16. And when they had
found the parcel of land of
which the learned man had
warned them, they did com-
mence their magic art.
17. And lo, the day was
hot and the labor heavy, but
they halted not nor "blas-
phemed.
18. And when they had
done in all things even as
they had been commanded,
they did gather up their in-
struments of magic and sor-
cery;

Dulcet-
Voiced.

that they

in his tent.

passed.

doubted by
some
authori-
ties.
14 For he
had a
big head
and imme-
diately
mistrusteth
where
they have
gone.
19. And when they had
placed them together in a
mass, they did sink upon the
ground from ^%unger and
thirst.
20. And when they were
a little rested they com-
muned one with another as
to how they might get re-
freshment, for they were sore
an hungered.
21. And one said unto
them, " Lo, yonder is the
garden of Samuel. Let us
go there and eat."
22. But another saith, " It
is forbidden fruit and we may
not touch it." ^^ But they
heeded not his word.
23. And when he behold-
eth they will not hearken
unto him, he saith, " Lo, me-
thinks I will not delay lest I
faint, but will share with
them the dangers of the gar-
den."
24. And he did run and
overtake the brethren.
25.. And as they all came
to the garden they entered
softly therein and did eat and
became much refreshed.
26. In the meantime com-
eth the wise man and finding
not the disciples goeth forth
to find them.
27. And lo, he searcheth
for them straight toward the
^*garden of Samuel.
28. And when he findeth
them he saith unto them,
"• Little Bo-Peep has lost her
70
sheep and knows just where
to find them." ^^
29. For lo, he was learned
in ancient lore also.
30. And he looketh and
beholdeth the garden to be
full of fruit and goodly and
he yieldeth to the Devil and
picketh and ^^eateth.
31. And when by chance
Levi, the servant of Samuel,
seeth the devastation of the
garden of his master he
rusheth forth like the wind,
even like the chariot of Jehu
rusheth he forth.
32. And when he is yet a
long way off he calleth
.^^aloud unto the learned
scribe saying,
33. " How is this that thou
not only allow these young
men to eat of the forbidden
fruit but doth eat thereof
thyself and bringeth great
devastation ! "
34. And when he ap-
proacheth nearer he deliv-

scribe is very much ashamed
and blusheth even to the
roots of his mustache.
36. And he confesseth his
transgression and depart-
eth ashamed and the youth
also.
37. But when Samuel
heard of it he was exceed-
ing wroth and goeth to the
'^king and complaineth of
the devastation of his gar-
den.
38. And the king was an-
gered against his servant the
scribe.
39. And when the scribe
had fulfilled the term of his
office, lo, the king dismisseth
him and driveth him away in

BY THE EDITORS.
How dear to my heart are the haunts of old Aggie,
As fond recollection presents them to view;
The drill hall, the chapel, the temple, the campus.
And every loved spot which my college days knew.
And now far removed from the fair town of Amherst,
I think with regret of the bright days of yore,
And remember the school in the village below us,
And e'en the knee breeches the Intellects wore;
The skin-fitting breeches, the old-fashioned breeches, .
The primeval breeches the Intellects wore.

" 0 monstrous ! hut one half-pennyv^orth of bread to this intolerable
deal of sack ! " — King Henet IV.
|NE thought has comforted us in assuming to be the mouth-
piece of the Alumni. What we shall say will be carefully read
by the compositor, proof-reader, and the editors of the Index,
but beyond this point our thoughts will be undisturbed — by rude
and disagreeable criticism. None ever read the Alumni contribution
save those who are obliged to. It is overshadowed, buried, lost be-
neath the excruciatingly funny and highly interesting matter with
which the volume is otherwise replete.
Contributors of previous years have left a well-worn path behind
them, along which we must proceed with great caution to avoid a
species of plagiarism. But none of them ever offered their contri-
bution at a time when their congratulations to the college students
and Alumni were more sincere or better grounded than at present.
To-day there are signs giving hope and confidence to those familiar
with the College history. Many of us remember its dark days all too
well, and to such the present outlook is thrice welcome.
The evidences of prosperity are many, but none is more promis-
ing than the increased interest in the College expressed by the agri-
cultural community. This means a better appreciation of the insti-
tution, and then, inevitably, a better support. It is encoitt-aging to
feel that men are willing to know something of us — that we are able
to attract their attention. Once it was difficult to find a farmer out-
side of those who had labored directly for the College who had any-
thing like a correct idea of it, and, what was worse, they evinced no
desire to learn. The College was never vigorously antagonized, but
it has suffered through the apathy and indifference of the very class
whose direct interests are involved in its success or failure. Even
farmers whose homes are in sight of the College have exposed a
woful ignorance of its affairs. Now a change is working. We have
84
gained many friends and more acquaintances, and it goes without
saving, that every intelligent person who has become even in a slight
degree familiar with the College, finds much good in its aims and
efforts. This state of affairs is the most natural thing to be ex-
pected. There is a growing appreciation of all advanced ideas in
agriculture, of which the College aims to be the exponent. The
labors of devoted men in the past are beginning to bear fruit, and
over two thousand copies of every bulletin from the Experiment
Station sent to actual applicants are oft recurring reminders of what
the College exemplifies. The increasing numbers and influence of
the Alumni are working for the College to a degree hard to estimate.
Each individual has an influence on the popular view of the College,
and a greater one than he realizes. In distant villages the whole
community has an interest in the young man who has graduated
from the farmers' college and come back to toil among them, and
their views of the institution will be modified by their unconscious
estimate of his character in after life. It behooves every alumnus,
therefore, to first realize his responsibility in the matter, and then
live up to it. And so from all the sage advice which we are sup-
posed to offer you as students, we only urge you to be loyal to the
College that has fostered and educated you, after you have borne
away her last gift.
As Alumni we watch with gladness the tangible evidence of
growth at our college home, — the new buildings, free scholarships,
new instructors from the ranks of graduates, and the realization of
Alumni efforts in the new library. At last comes the assurance of
Alumni representation upon the board of trustees, a progressive
step, but one for which it would seem the time had arrived. The
confidence thus displayed in our body will not be misplaced. None
can act with greater interest or sympathy in the affairs of the Col-
lege than its graduates.
The radical changes in the curriculum during the past year do not
meet with our approval. They practically make the study of Agri-
culture in the abstract optional, allowing the student to substitute
History and Languages. One who wishes to make agricultural
science a life work, finds himself obliged to choose a course which
shall omit Agriculture, or omit French, German, Mineralogy, and
Microscopy, any or all of which are essential to his progress. No
student can escape military exercise, but all can reject Agriculture.
In short, the very feature which should lend individuality and char-
acter to the College is bereft of its importance, and even relegated
to a secondary position. At this time, however, we only criticise in
a general way, and endeavor to point out what seems to us an un-
wise change.
85
The College of Ag-riculture is pre-eminently a college of the natural
sciences, and even if we modify its plan to the scope of a liberal
scientific education, the sciences related to Agriculture must still
constitute the leading lines of study. We sincerely hope, therefore,
that the day is near at hand when Chemistry, Botany, Geology,
Zoology, and Physiology may be represented by departments of first
and equal importance in the course of instruction. English should
be taught first, last, and continually, as an incessant drill, so that at '
least the graduating theses may be written correctly and expressed
clearly; and, finally, as an aid to advanced scientific or literary study,
let the modern languages receive thorough consideration.
These suggestions seem to us to be in harmony with the acknowl-
edged educational tendencies of the times, and with the plan and
scope of the College.
In conclusion, we offer to College, faculty, and students, in behalf
of former pupils and associates now scattered through our own and
foreign lands, hearty and sincere greetings, with wishes for your
highest prosperity.

Not to the oak, whose aged limbs
The shock of wintry blasts withstand,
Nor to the fragrant sandal tree.
Whose odor fills the Eastern land,
Nor to the lily, beauteous, fair.
Free from all tinga of earthly stain,
Nor to the blessed herbs, whose powers
Are potent to relieve from pain,
But to a very common tree.
Although in blossom wondrous fair
Since promising of future fruit, —
Would I our class compare.
The apple tree, a common thing.
But, useful as it has been made
To please and profit all mankind.
It puts all others in the shade.
The seedling's size at first was small.
But strong of root and full of life;
At one year old the bud was set.
Yet parent stock ne'er knew the knife.
95
So, onward from that time they grew,
Seedling and bud toward the skies,
Still reaching up into the light
E'en though held down by earthly ties.
Its roots are long. They stretch away
Across a broad expanse of ground,
From Williamstown to Boston Bay
And clear to Hudson's banks they'rq found.
But what shall be their ripened fruit.
When, from the tender, fostering care
Of Alma Mater's nursery row.
They seek a wider field elsewhere ?
"We cannot tell. In after years
Some branch may slowly wither down.
The axe of Time will thin her limbs
And mar the beauty of her crown.
Still, let us hope that kindly Fate
Will all her vigorous shoots preserve,
And in our onward pilgrimage
Make beauty unto use subserve.

THE ONLY DISSOLVER OF THE POISONOUS URIC ACID WHICH
EXISTS IN THE BLOOD OF RHEUMATIC AND
GOUTY PATIENTS.
SALICYLICA is known as a common sense remedy, because it strikes
directly at the cause of Rheumatism, Gout, and Neuralgia, while so many
so-called specifics and supposed panaceas only treat locally the effects.
It has been conceded by eminent scientists that outward applications,
such as rubbing with oils, ointments, liniments, and soothing lotions, will
not eradicate these diseases, which are the i-esult of the poisoning of the
blood with Uric Acid. SALICYLICA works with marvelous effect on
this acid, and so removes the disorder.
REMEMBER that SALICYLICA is a certain cure for Rheumatisnn,
Gout, and Neuralgia. The most intense pains are subdued almost in-
stantly. Give it a trial. Relief guaranteed or money refunded.
Thousands of testimonials sent on application.
$ I a Box. 6 Boxes for $5.
Sent free by mail on receipt of money.
ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR IT,
But do not take imitations or substitutes, or something recommended as
"just as good." Insist on the genuine with the name of WASHBURNE & CO. on
each box, which is guaranteed chemically pure under our signatiire, an
indispensable requisite to insure success in the treatment. Take no other,
or send to us.
