Editorial.
IT is said that every year the Index grows poorer in quality. Perhaps
the present issue will help confirm this opinion, yet we present this to
the public hoping it may be found as nmch better as it is larger, than
our immediate predecessors.
Our labor has been arduous, with trials such as losing two members
of our board in the midst of our work, but we shall feel amply repaid
if our critics decide that the perusal of this, the twentieth volume of
the Index has been one of pleasure and perhaps of profit.
Our purpose has been to prepare a book containing something more
than a mere compilation of facts, and in this endeavor we have made a
few, perhaps radical, changes from previous issues, among which we may
mention the simple style of cover we have adopted. It was thought
more fitting to spend our time and money on the inside rather than to
expend so much on a fanciful cover, to the beauty of which, but few
would give a second thought.
Our college has been unusually prosperous the past year, and has
taken a long step in the front rank of Agricultural institutions. The
faculty, with one exception, remains unchanged. Prof. Alvord, the for-
mer Professor of Agriculture, resigned at the close of the winter term to
accept the position of President of the Maryland Agricultural College.
Ex-President Stockbridge kindly consented to take his chair until a new
professor could be secured, and many have expressed the wish that he
could be induced to remain permanently.
During the first portion of the year, the instruction in Agriculture
was necessarily much broken, but now all seem to feel that they have
received so much valuable and practical information during the short
time that Prof. Stockbridge has been instructor, that it is hard to be
reconciled to the thought of having to change to a new professor in
January. Prof. Brooks of the Agricultural College of Japan has been
secured by the Trustees to take the position vacated by Prof. Alvord,
and he is expected to assume his duties in January.

THE INDEX
Many improvements have been made on the farm during the year,
though the work has been much hindered by the lack of a permanent
head. The land in the valley west of the campus has been cleared of
stumps and seeded to grass, while the land on the border of the creek
running through the farm, has been ploughed for the purpose of growing
corn next season. A substantial wire fence has been built by the edge
of the road on the western side of the farm and the land graded, giv-
ing it a much more finished appearance. Under the efficient supervision
of Mr. Wright the farm is fast approaching a state which may make it
a model for all good farmers.
Prof. Maynard is still filling our minds with horticultural knowledge
and yet finds time to steadily improve the appearance of his department.
W. M. Shepardson '88 now holds the position formerly held by S. B.
Green, '79, who resigned, to become Prof, of Horticulture in the Minneso-
ta Agricultural College. New varieties of fruit are constantly being add-
ed and thoroughly tested as to their value. A new plant house has been
built near the site of the old rose house, one part of which is to be
devoted to experimental work under the direction of L. F. Kinney, '88,
and the remainder to the general work of the department.
Prof. Fern aid steadily holds us spell-bound as he discourses on the
strange behavior of certain animals called Protoza. The only fault we
find in relation to his department, is that we can only be instructed by
him three hours a week, when we would all prefer a dozen.
Uuder the direction of Prof. Wellington, we have been endeavoring
to get the principles of mineralogy into our brains, though to many it
seems as if they knew less and less about it each day. We could work
to much better advantage in the "Lab" if we could have two hours a
day for a part of the week instead of working one hour every day. We
no sooner get fairly under way in our tests than we hear the sound of
"Johns" No. 10 shoes as he crosses the "Gym." giving us warning that
the bell is about to ring.
With Prof. Warner's help, and by our many noble efforts at the end
of each term, we have passed with honor (?) from Algebra through Sur-
veying and are now "dissipating our energies" in attempting to under-
stand the "composition of forces" which constitutes the wonderful sci-
ence of Mechanics.
Dr. Walker, our college pastor, is laboring hard to convince us that
a knowledge of the art of Rhetoric should be the chief aim and end of
man. Yet, thus far, it appears as if each man considered the calcula-
tion of whether he was going to be so fortunate (?) as to be called upon
to recite, a far more important consideration than the knowledge of the
art itself.
THE INDEX,
Pres. G-oodell gives the two lower classes thorough instruction in the
Latin and French languages as far as the limited time will allow, but it
would seem of more use to the students if these languages could be drop-
ped and a two years' course of study in the German language given in
their place.
At the beginning of this term an effort was made to give the stu-
dents a better opportunity to obtain a knowledge of declamation and
composition. Previous to this, each class has been under the instruction
of four professors during their course, which has resulted in a confused
jumbling of ideas without much benefit to any one. Prof. Lane now
has charge of this department, and there is no doubt but what he will
succeed in his attempt to raise the literaray standard of the college.
The cadets under the command of Lieut. Sage are obtaining a fair
idea of military science and tactics. They have had an opportunity this
term to show their skill in drilling at the Belchertown and Springfield
fairs. Most of the term has been devoted to company drill, no artillery
nor mortar practice having been ordered. There is hardly the interest
taken in drill that there should be. The majority go on drill with the
feeling that the more "place rest" there is, and the sooner the drill is
over, the better off tbey are.
During the year Col. W. S. Clark's picture has been given to the
College by some of the Alumni. The Trustees have also presented us with
a complete collection of Japanese agricultural implements which will be
brought here by Prof. Brooks. The old gymnasium is to be fitted up as
an agricultural museum of which these tools will form the nucleus.
The interest in athletics is not what it should be. Both the Base-ball
and Foot-ball Associations have been well supported financially, but the
students can hardly be induced to go out and practice as they should.
They seem to think that the teams should win all the games played with very
little or no practice. While this sort of feeling lasts, we must not expect
our teams to do good work. If we cannot have a ball nine that will do
better work than that of last year, we had better have none at all. The
foot-ball team has done fairly well considering the number of men to
choose from, but still it should do better. Tennis seems to be our most
popular sport, and the four society courts are occupied the greater part of
the time.
At last it seems as though a start has been made towards having a
good gymnasium. By subscriptions from the students and others, about
two hundred dollars was raised, which is being expended for clubs, dumb
bells, chest weights, etc. The drill hall has been sheathed, and heating
apparatus put in, and it is expected that by the first of January, it will
be in readiness for use. A great impetus would be given if the Alumni
THE INDEX
would start an Athletic fund, the income of which should be used in the
interests of athletics in general.
We welcome our proteges, the class of '92, as by far the largest that
has entered the college for a number of years. If some of them were
only sensible enough to realize that it is not necessaiy to be fresh, though
they are Freshmen, it would be a great improvement. It seems to us
that a mild amount of hazing might be a good thing for these, and it
would hardly be injurious to some of the members of '91.
Classmates : We have now completed the undertaking with which you
have honored us, though the poor business manager is still growing thin
at the thought of the bills he must collect. We have tried to prepare an
Index that shall be remembered hereafter as a credit to our class, and
now we lay aside our pens with feelings of both joy and sorrow that our
editorial days are over.

" Fly, envious Time, till thou run out thy race;
Thy speed is like the fiery coursers pace."
" And in their nightly watchful spheres,
Lead in swift rounds the months and years."
UvOW fast time flies! It seems but yesterday that, as Freshmen, we first
*-L came to begin our college life amid new scenes and new surround-
ings.
Yet now, in the words of the old song: "As grave and reverend Seniors
gaze we on the verdant past ;" and we realize that soon four of the pleasantest,
and we hope most profitable, years of our lives will have gone by forever ; that
soon the bright scenes and pleasant occupations of our college days will exist
for us only as cherished memories of what we once enjoyed.
Since we entered, our ranks have kept thinning, until but half our original
number are left to graduate. We cannot but miss the absent ones, yet at the
same time we would heartily wish them success.
During the past year our time has been partly occupied by an investigation
of Physical phenomena and electricity; but our experiments with the latter
often had shocking results.
With net in hand we have explored the country in search of new or strange
Insects, with which to prove our knowledge of Entomology.
Our proficiency in Chemistry is quite remarkable, as evinced by the won-
derful reactions, and peculiar formulas we have been able to produce; while
oar talent for understanding and solving deep and intricate Psychological
problems, though as yet not completely developed, is never-the-less remarkable.
It augurs well for the future of the college to see the numbers increasing as
they do from year to yeai\ May they continue to increase until these buildings
shall not suffice to contain them; and let each man as he pursues his course in
college remember the advice of Sir Thomas Buxton to his sons, — "What you
know, know thoroughly," and success will crown his efforts.

THE INDEX.
lb is not without a feeling of sadness that we send our last communication
to the Index; for in doing so we feel it is to say good-bye to old friends with
whom we soon must part, perhaps never to meet again; but the memory of our
pleasant associations will be with us always.
And now, Classmates: Let us not be discouraged because our numbers are
not as large as we had hoped to have in our last year. Let us rather emulate
the worthy deeds of our ancestors, the little band of Pilgrims, who years ago
landed on our coast where, " The breaking waves dashed high; " and, like them,
make each obstacle only another incentive to push on, and we shall succeed
at last.
As upper classmen it devolves upon us to be leaders and mentors of the
college in all its workings. May our example be such as can be safely followed,
and may our remaining days here at college be so spent as best to fit us for the
work that lies before us when we leave our Alma Mater; and let us bear
in mind that as the world moves, so must we, or be left behind ; that there is
always room (it the top ; and, that if we desire an open road to prosperity and
happiness, we must make it ourselves.
Our college duties soon must end. As the curtain falls and '89 retires from
this stage of action, may hers be the welcome plaudit, " Well done."

TT CAIN the time has come for the the class of '90 to send its greet-
@s 1 ing to the readers of the Index, but now, having reached the age
of Juniors, we cannot appear as in former times when we were full of
stratagems so characteristic of the lower classes.
So far upon our College course our experience has been wide and vari-
ed, each year bringing forth new elements with which to test our ability.
Yet many members of the class who entered are not now with us, death
has taken one, others are engaged in their pursuits for life, and only one
has joined us from the class lower.
We sincerely regret the loss of '88 and their kind advice always given
for our benefit.
Many pleasant memorials recall to us past associations with them.
Knowing we had many friends in '88, we heartily wish them prosperity in
whatever profession of life they may follow.
Notwithstanding our losses, we have a bright side to our history. We
are now the next to the largest class in College, and a well-organized class
it is. Experience has taaght us that in order to accomplish our purposes,
we must work together, and this unity is only gained by placing the great-
est confidence in each; then we can accomplish wonderful results.
In the class-room our instructors have, without doubt, realized our effi-
ciency in the sciences, after having faithfully studied the laws which govern
the universe or establishing by calculus the distance from earth to infinity,
as well as other hidden secrets of nature that have proved worthy of our
investigation.
Many of our men have taken a lively interest in the athletics of the
College and have occupied very prominent positions, but we hope more
interest will be taken yet, as there is much room for improvement.
In our class games we won a good score from '89 in base-ball, but did
not succeel so well in foot-ball, although we are well satisfied with the
(20)

result. Our base-ball game with '91 was lost through the absence of some
of our best players.
Now that we have a gymnasium there should be more ball players
among us, for a gymnasium affords an excellent training for all our ath-
letic sports.
Among the many improvements which have been made this term is the
establishing an observatory on the top of South College tower, thus giving
the Juniors an excellent opportunity for star-gazing, saving them the
trouble of going down town.
By permission of the President, we celebrated Arbor Day by setting
two very choice trees between North and South College, replacing those set
by '72, for the reason that their trees had grown very irregular and injured
the beauty of the College grounds.
Classmates: Two very important years of our life have passed, and we
have entered far upon our third year, soon our College life will end. Amid
the scenes of reflections let us see wherein our mistakes have been made,
that by so doing we may correct our future by the experience of the past
and spend the rest of our College days with profit to ourselves, our friends
and those who follow after us. S.

J I T HE thought arises as we send this, our second, communication to the
i- Index, how rapidly our Freshman days have glided by, bringing us
around to the enviable position of Sophomores, which is always looked for-
ward to with interest by the Freshmen.
The feelings with which we came back to College this year are entirely
different from what we experienced last year at this time, for our Fresh-
man shyness has passed away and more confidence in ourselves has been
aroused, causing us to feel that we are indispensable to the institution. One
must not for a moment think we intended to be conceited, as there can be
no such trait of character attributed to us, for the Class of '91 is not char-
acterized by that overwhelming sense of importance common to the pre-
ceding Sophomore classes; but, on the contrary, has attained a great degree
of (gravity), of which kind it is not necessary to (specify).
Ten of those who entered with us upon the trials and vicissitudes of the
Freshman year have not returned, and as the class was a small one, their
loss is keenly felt; but their loss is partially made up by the addition of
four new members. It is hoped that those remaining have the determina-
tion to finish their course and graduate with the honor due to '91.
In regard to our intellectual development there is but little to say,
except that we certainly have had the chance to broaden our mental facul-
ties if we so desired, and without doubt the opportunity has been embraced
by every one, so that there has been quite a perceptible addition to our
store of knowledge; and now as we come into our Sophomore year there
should be a closer application to work, as we find the studies more difficult,
and therefore requiring more time and thought.
In athletics, '91 has been prominent in furnishing men for the College
foot-ball and base-ball teams, and although not having had the experience
which comes from three years' practice, as the upper classmen have, yet
they take hold with a proficiency which does credit to them and their class.
The subject of athletics is coming to be one of great importance in the
(23)

THE INDEX
College, and it is absolutely necessary to have the sympathy of every
student to ensure success in this matter, and it depends upon us in a large
measure to promote this interest.
The ins and outs of College life have been learned with a proficiency
quite excelling anything in the line of our regular studies, and we can now
converse with the Juniors when they speak of going to see their cousins at
Hamp. or Hadley.
We would like to ask the Freshmen if they are waiting for their men
to grow in order that they may be strong enough to have a rope-pull ? If
so we would advise them to try Dr. Barrows' Phosphate, as that is good for
young and growing bones, and perhaps they will be strong enough by their
Junior year.
Now, Class of '91, gather around while we renew the hopes and ambitions
with which we started out so resolutely upon our College course, and may
we realize more fully the possibilities which lie before, the chances that we
have here to make the most of ourselves. We have now fairly started in
upon our course, and all that is necessary is diligence to obtain what is
more valuable than gold or silver, and that is a cultivated mind. G.

IN submitting an article for the Index to the public gaze, we beg that
in her criticisms it may be remembered that this is our iirst con-
tribution to the pages of the Index and that we have not as yet, the
experience in this form of journalism which comes only by familiarity
with the work.
The class of '92 is one of the largest which has entered the college
for several years. This seems not only to be indicative of the value of
the class to the college, but to show the gradually increasing interest
which the public is taking in the institution. Many members of the
class are taking a lively interest in athletic sports and we have succeed-
ed in organizing a very fair foot ball team which in the class game
played a better game against the sophomores than has any freshman
eleven for several years.
There is an excellent prospect for a good base ball team in the spring,
and we have plenty of good material to put at work in that direction.
The rope pull is, as yet, a matter of conjecture. It is hoped, how-
ever, that '91 will in time gain sufficient backbone to pull us on equal
terms, and should that time arrive, we shall be happy to return the
compliment, and do all we can to make the contest interesting.
The sophomore class which last year lacked, (as a '90 man remarked) ;
the silica to take part in a rush, seemed to have gained a little of the re-
quisite matter this year, but when they had been distributed over the hall
and the walk one morning after chapel, the silicious materials seemed to
leak out of their boot heels, and such a thing as a rush hasn't been heard
of since.
But of greater importance than these minor affairs of college life, is the
fact that we now stand at the threshold of one of the most important
(27;

THE INDEX
epochs of our lives. It is here that many of us will finish our education,
and complete the final preparations for life's struggles. As we stand at
the beginning of this period of such infinite worth not only to us, but to
our friends and associates in future life, may we be impressed with its val-
ue and enter faithfully and energetically into the duties as well as the
pleasures of college life, with the hope that four years hence we may grad-
uate a goodly number, whose careers in after life shall not only be an hon-
or to the M. A. C, but shall give credit to ourselves, s.
"^•Co Boston
The Christian Gentleman.
The art of pleasing is essential to success in life. Without it the
highest worth is defrauded of its rightful glory, and real merit is rob-
bed of its power. By means of it the man of moderate ability multi-
plies his influence a thousand fold ; the man of genius cannot do without
it.
Of this art every young man should make himself master. A sancti-
fied art of pleasing is the substance of the golden rule, and is that
which makes godliness profitable for this life, as well as for the world to
come. Simon Stylites on the top of his pillar, disgusting men with his
agonizing corruption is not the representative character of our religion ;
but Jesus Christ, going about among men exerting himself to please.
In what does the art of pleasing consist, and how may it be acquir-
ed ? This question may best be answered by presenting for our contem-
plation a sketch of the Christian gentleman.
The disposition of the Christian gentleman is good will to men. He
has a benevolent heart. He loves his neighbor as himself, and is pos-
sessed of a genuine desire to please. A true simplicity is his. He is
free from a propensity to cunning or stratagem. He will have nothing
to do with those base and deceitful arts with which the man of the
world steals the hearts of the confiding. He hates duplicity. He is al-
ways sincere. Whatever may be his rank or station, however great may
be his wealth and worth, he is neither proud nor arrogant. The lowly
man may approach him with ease and feel at home in his presence. He
is no egotist. Unconsciousness of self is one of his most beautiful traits.
He thinks and cares for others, sympathizing with them and looking at
things from their point of view.
The manners of the Christian gentleman are such as become his real
character. They are a part of himself. They are natural, the outward
manifestation of the man. He understands that he ought to seem to be
(29)
SO THE INDEX.
what he is. He knows that it is just as bad, if not worse, for one who
is a real gentleman to disguise himself in the manners of a boor, as it
is for the clown to assume the manners of a gentleman. So he makes it
his study to give the best possible expression to what he is. The Christ-
ian gentleman proclaims himself by the carriage of his body, by the
glance of his eye, by the varied expression of the face, by the motion
of his head, by the grasp of his hand, by his walk, by the intonation of
his voice, and by a thousand other movements which defy analysis; his
manners are themselves a song, a poem, eloquence.
The Christian gentleman pays proper attention to dress; "the apparel
oft proclaims the man." You can tell a coxcomb as far as you can see
him ; he is a man who has degraded God's image into an effigy on which
to exhibit fine clothes. The Christian gentleman feels himself to be of
more importance than his wardrobe. The dress is subordinated to the
man and not the man to the garment. Neither warmth, nor comfort, nor
convenience, nor beauty is sacrificed to fashion, or cost or vanity. His
great aim is to so arrange his dress as to make himself and others forget
it entirely. He does not dress extravagantly, for that would excite envy.
He does not dress shabbily, for that would call forth pity. He avoids
everything grotesque. He dresses with perfect taste. Above all things
he avoids whatever is a sham. He wears no paste for diamonds. His
dress is as simple, as honest, as beautiful as his manners and his character.
The Christian gentleman is known by his conversation. He despises
gossip and hates slander. His speech is pure ; he tells no story and ut-
ters no word that he would blush to have understood by the most
chaste. He deems it ungentlemanly, as well as wicked, to emphasize
his talk with profane oaths. He respects the feelings of others too much
to speak lightly of Jesus Christ, or God, whom the Christian loves better
than the dearest friend or the nearest relative. He speaks his native lan-
guage in its purity. He avoids slang ; for be knows that false syntax,
mixed idioms, the prostitution of sublime words to mean uses and slang
phrases, betray want of culture, and vulgarity in spite of all disguises ;
that they frequently indicate a lack of moral character. The conversa-
tion of the Christian gentleman is truthful. He never utters for any
purpose a falsehood. He would not lie to escape any difficulty, or to se-
cure any reward or emolument. He guards against exaggeration and
careless errors. He speaks always with authority, for his declarations
may always be relied upon. His conversation never degenerates into an-
gry disputation. He is free also from that overbearing dogmatism which
mars the character of so many men of real talent. At once instructive
and entertaining, with no assumption of airs, he teaches you as though
he taught you not. He interests himself in those things which interest
THfi iNDtiX
31
you. He discovers your best thoughts and gives to them beautiful ex-
pression. He excites those emotions of your heart which please you, and
then shares your enjoyment. And, if perchance, he strike a tender chord
that reminds you of your grief, he heals the wound with his genuine
sympathy. He strengthens your good resolutions with new motives that
you had not discovered. Avoiding base ridicule and biting ssrcasm, he
cheers you with his genial humor and banishes gloom with his sparkling
wit.
The Christian gentleman is welcome wherever he goes, for at the head
of the table, or the center of the drawing-room, he is the life of the
company, and the joy of the social circle. He is recognized and loved
wherever seen. All men delight to honor him. If one, then, would make
himself master of the art of pleasing, he should take the Christian gen-
tleman for his ideal, and strive earnestly to attain to his perfect realiza-
tion of the golden rule. c. s. w.

What of the College ?
7~j S in the varied departments of the world's work agricultural industry
®fi is the basis on which all else rests, and the existence of which makes
all else profitable and even possible, so in the College of Agriculture, sci-
ence, culture and discipline are but the accessories in securing the end for
which such an institution is endowed and conducted, and but for which it
could have no standing before the public.
The standard by which the Agricultural College is to be measured, by
which it is to be finally judged as a success or failure, is not the rank it
may secure among our older educational institutions, but by its influence in
elevating the industry of agriculture and increasing its products, through
the men it educates as students, and the principles affecting plant growth
which its officers may discover, elucidate and make public property. There-
fore its system of instruction, its curriculum, however comprehensive and
extended, has one main, final object in view, and that is to make the edu-
cation, culture and discipline it gives a practical industrial force, and its
farms, farm crops and stock, its conservatories, nurseries and fruiteries, its
laboratories, cabinets, apparatus and libraries are only the means for secur-
ing the desired end.
It is believed that the Trustees of our College, when accepting the great
trust committed to them, fully understood and appreciated its intent, and
that through good and evil report, when assailed by enemies from without
and injudicious friends within, when hindered and thwarted in their efforts
by want of pecuniary means, and when supported by legislative favor or
private aid, have, without swerving or hesitation, kept that intent in view
as their guiding star, and in this course have been ably supported by their
faculty corps.
It is a little more than twenty-one years since our doors were first
opened for the admission of students, nineteen years since agricultural
investigations were fairly inaugurated, and seventeen years since the grad-
uation of the first class.
(40)
THE INDEX. 41
Results ai-e now apparent, and our Trustees could with pride and satis-
faction give an account of their stewardship.
Since 1868 there has been no advance in agricultural science, no positive
discovery of principles in any department of agricultural effort, no demon-
stration of improved methods to secure the advantage of natural law, no
effort made to elevate the farmer and secure him from fraud on the right
hand and on the left, but what the College has led the way or been an
active co-worker, until at the present time, by general consent, it is the
ai-biter of contested questions of science and practice.
The number of students who have pursued the full curriculum course
and received the State diploma is 288, and the specials who have taken the
agricultural course 470. making a total of 758 who have here received
preparation for their field of labor. A large proportion of these men are
now engaged in their life work. This is quite varied, but it is overwhelm-
ingly agricultural. Forty per cent, are engaged in practical agriculture,
and a very large number in pursuits intimately connected therewith. Many
are teachers of the science and practice of agriculture in tbe field and in
the younger agricultural colleges in all parts of our own country and in
foreign lands, while many others are officers in the experiment stations of
the different States.
In one season of financial distress the College farm in its improvement
has been the greatest sufferer, yet there has been a steady advance.
The grass fields, which in 1868 produced barely 100 tons of hay, have
the present year yielded 300 tons. The pasture lands nave increased their
feed in the same proportion, and the same may be said of the other farm
crops.
The botanical, horticultural and floral department, which had no exist-
ence in 1868, has grown to large proportions. By the introduction, im-
provement, propagation and dissemination of sbrubs, fruit and flowers, it
has given a great movement in this direction over a wide extent of
country, improving the tastes and beautifying the homes of our people.
The College has become an acknowledged power for usefulness in other
directions, though strictly attentive to the prime object of its organization,
and these results it is believed are but the precursor of still greater ones
which the future will unfold. S.

The College Herd.
] I [ HIS herd consists of forty-seven animals all told, representing five dif-
1 ferent herds— Holstein, Freisians, Jerseys, Devons, Guernseys and Ayr-
shires. Only the most prominent animals will here receive special mention.
The Holstein Bull, Pledge's Empire, two years and eight months old the
10th of November, is a very promising creature ; sired by Empire 588, he
by Billy Boelyn 189, and out of Empress 339. Billy Boelyn won seventeen
first prizes, and sold for $10,000. Sire's Dam, Empress, has a record of giv-
ing 19,714 pounds 14 ounces of milk in one year, a trifle over 54 pounds per
day, as an average for the whole year.
Dam, Pledge 1,506 H. H. B., during the past summer has given the largest
yield of milk on record in the world. During July and August she gave a
total of 6,105>£ pounds, an average of over 98 pounds per day. For 36 con-
secutive days, from July 6 to August 10, she gave 3,601% pounds, or a trifle
over 100 pounds per day. The largest yield for any one day was 110)^
pounds, July 31st. During this time she ran at large in a pasture where
there was plenty of good feed and drinking water from a stream that ran
through the lot. No additional food was given her except 16 quarts of
grain per day up to July 19th ; from then on 20 quarts. Grain fed dry and
mixed in the following proportions: 4-9 ground oats, 4-9 coarse middlings,
1-9 corn meal. Occasionally a little oil cake was fed with the grain. Pledge
is seven years old, sired by Billy Boelyn, and out of Plenty 542.
Among the Jerseys is Edithson, 8,948 A. J. C. C, six years old ; sired by
Ramapo 4,679, who took the double gold medal at the New York State
Fair in 1885. Dam, Lass Edith 6,290, half Alphea blood. She has a record
of 17 pounds 8 ounces of butter in seven days, after second calf. Sire's dam,
Eurotas, has a record of 22 pounds 7 ounces butter in seven days, and 778
pounds in eleven months.
There is nothing to attract attention among the Devons, except, per-
haps, the size of Bull Senator. He weighs just one ton.
Among the Guernseys the chief attraction is Fanny 410, aged 10 years.
Sire and Dam both on the Island of Guernsey. She has a record of 16)^
pounds butter in seven successive days, on feed from an average pasture,
with two quarts of corn meal per day. She has won two silver medals, be-
sides taking first and second premiums at different State and County fairs.
During the past summer it was estimated that four quarts of her milk
would produce one quart of cream, she having no feed except what she
could get from an ordinary pasture.

A Brief Outline of the Work to be Conducted by Prof.
C. D. Warner at Mass. Agricultural College.
TT7 HE extreme top of the tower of South College has been removed, and a
-L platform 10-4 square substituted. The room immediately beneath,
which heretofore was used only as a store-room occasionally, has been finished
off, and is to contain the instruments to be used in this work. This observatory
is patterned after the general plan of the one at Central Park, New York, con-
ducted by Dr. Daniel Draper, though, of course, on a much less elaborate plan.
The following instruments will be used; made and patented by said Dr. Draper:
Draper's Self -Recording Thermometer, which will give a permanent and con-
tinuous record of the temperature at all times; Draper's Sun Thermometer,
registering the amount of sun-light ; Draper's Self -Recording Mercurial Bar-
ometer; Draper's Direction of Wind, Velocity of Wind, Force of Wind and
Rain Guage. Space will not permit of a description of these instruments.
Suffice it to say they are the best obtainable.
As far as possible, a complete record of all meteorological phenomena will
be kept. The temperature and pressure of atmosphere, quantity of sun-light,
direction, velocity and force of wind, amount of rain-fall and depth of snow
will be noted. All electrical phenomena, quantity of electricity in the atmos-
phere, magnetic disturbances, and the general appearance of the heavens will
be recorded.
Daily, weekly and monthly records will be kept, bound and placed among
the archives of the station for future reference.
Especial attention will be given to the subject of dews, which is occupying
so much attention at present. Various experiments will be tried in connection
with this subject.
The reason why we have so many late, cold, north winds some springs, and
not others, will be looked into. Also the causes of various disturbances of
the atmosphere — for instance, the turning of a storm from the track in which
it started, compelling it to travel in an entirely different direction from that in
which it moved at the outset, will be investigated, and brought to light as far
as possible.

Class Poem.
CLASSMATES, almost three years we've spent
In our pursuit of knowledge,
And only one more year is left
Before we're done with College.
And as we pass without these doors
Into our work of life,
Let us all try to fit ourselves
To the burden of the strife.
Each man must fashion his own life ;
We'll find it always so,
But if each one will help himself
The Lord will help, we know.
We'll scatter over all the world,
In many different lands,
While some among us may be known
In undertakings grand.
Some will go North and some go South,
Yet no one can foresee
But what he'll soon be called upon
To dwell in eternity.
Then let us act from day to day
With purpose clear and wise,
So when this fleeting life is done
We'll meet above the skies.

^ TT7HE marriage choice of others is the inscrutable puzzle of those
1 who have no eye for the fact that such choice is the great
match of cajolery between purpose and invisible hazard, with the
blessedness of many lives for stake, as intention happens to cheat acci-
dent or to be cheated by it."

Respites.
TVT OT least among the pleasures of the "Aggie" student, are the visits
©/ i to the annual cattle shows, which occasions are hailed as gala days,
in the midst of the dreary routine of college life. During the present year
we have been more highly favored than in previous ones, as to the number
and quality of shows exhibited.
Of course, we had a day off to attend our own county show at Amherst,
and despite the dampening effects of rain, and a postponement, it proved to
be one of the finest exhibits the society ever held.
" Later on" we were pleased to accept a cordial invitation, sent us
by the committee in charge, to attend, as a military company, the cattle
show to be held at Belchertown on Oct. 2nd; the number of men to be
limited to fifty, the expenses of coming and going to be defrayed by them,
and a dinner to be furnished free of charge. Of our entertainment there
we can speak only in the highest terms. A prominent feature was the
turkey dinner, served by the ladies of the M. E. Church. Words fail us in
our attempt to express the satisfaction we experienced while partaking of
the abundance there provided, either as to the quality of the viands, the
manner in which we were served, or the refreshing glimpses of the intelli-
gent and attractive faces of our entertainers, that we occasionally caught as
they moved about among the tables and to and from the kitchen while
waiting upon us. In the afternoon we were to have given an exhibition
drill, but owing to the inclement weather nothing but dress parade was at-
tempted. After supper we fell into line, the company was put in motion,
and to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me" turned our backs to the
scene of the day's pleasures, with a mixture of feelings, the predominant
one being that, despite the disagreeable state of the weather, the day had
been an enjoyable one.
Six days after this trip occurred the nee plus ultra of our anticipa-
tions, namely, a trip to Springfield to attend the second exhibition of the
174)
THE INDEX. 75
Bay State Agricultural Society. At seven o'clock on the morning of Oct.
8th the assembly was sounded, and the battalion formed in line, then
marched to the Central Massachusetts station and took the train for Spring-
held, via Northampton. On board the cars military restrictions were
relaxed and our trip enlivened by many an old "chestnut" college song.
We arrived at Springfield about ten o'clock, and falling into line the bat-
talion marched to Hampden Park to the lively music of the drum corps.
After stacking arms near the grand stand the battalion broke ranks, a
guard was detailed to take charge of the equipments, and we were at liberty
to ramble at will about the grounds, examining the fine stock, machinery,
etc., on exhibition. At two o'clock the assembly was sounded, the battalion
formed and marched to the track in front of the grand stand, where dress
parade was formed under the inspection of Gov. Ames and staff, followed
by a sabre drill, which was well applauded by the spectators. Then came
the long tramps through Horticultural Hall, which were enjoyed and
appreciated to a greater or less extent by all. As we looked at the dis-
play of fruit from the "Aggie" farm we could not help wondering from
what part of the college domains such enticing looking fruit had been
gathered, for, during our rambles over the farm, we had never met with
anything half so tempting. Of course, not having made special search for
anything of the kind, such an oversight on our part is excusable; still, we
could not help "wondering" for all that. In the evening some went to see
a presentation of "McKenna's Flirtation" at the Opera House, while others
visited with friends in or about the city.
The next day, after visiting various points of interest or taking another
look at the exhibits, we boarded the train at about five o'clock and were,
all too soon, obliged to wend our way back to our college quarters. Thus
it is we enjoy the short respites from the tedium of college routine, and for
the sake of those that come after, we earnestly hope that trips to various
points of interest, as a college, will become an established custom in the
years to come.
Tale of the Cannon Racket.
IN THREE PARTS.
PART I.
You whose hearts are full of mischief,
While your College life are living,
Who believe that in all ages
Each and every heart is human,
That in every student's bosom
There are longings, yearnings, strivings,
To put up little rackets
On the simple, silly Freshmen.
You, who once have felt these yearnings,
Though your College life's completed,
You, who now start in upon it,
Listen to this simple story;
Listen to the " Cannon Racket."
In a peaceful, placid valley,
Where a pleasant water courses,
Lies a quiet little village;
And about a mile beyond it
Stands the grand old Aggie College.
There it is an honored custom
(76)
THE INDEX. 77
For the Freshmen, 'ere the year ends,
To attempt a celebration.
Now the reckless Sophs, who dwell there
Do not wish to hear the booming
Of the Lieut's two big brass cannon,
As they echo o'er the campus
At about the hour of midnight.
So one Wednesday, 'ere the term closed
All the Freshmen got together,
And the Juniors came to help them,
To prepare a mighty scheme there,
Which would balk the class of '90
In the bold, bad undertaking
Which 'twas thought they would engage in.
'Twas the stealing of their cannon
That the Freshmen wished to hinder.
When the hour of drill was over
They were gathered on the campus.
Quick they seized upon a cannon,
Braced their muscles all together.
Billy Pond was head director
With the help of Woodbury Junior,
And the line of march was taken
Bapidly across the campus
To the Armory, barred and bolted.
Deacon Gay was there, with glasses,
Watching, lest that class of '90
Should make one last, bold endeavor
To obtain the sole possession
Of, at least, the sponge and rammer.
But the Sophs, were out of hearing
Quiet all, as on a Sunday.
So they pushed it through the doorway,
Ruggie heaving on the rear wheel,
Long-legged Carpenter assisting.
Even Kizer, Mike, and Tutsy,
Came around to do the bossing.
And at last they rolled it in there,
Saw that all the locks were fastened
Then departed, well contented
That the Sophs, they'd circumvented
By this easy undertaking.

THE INDEX.
PART II.
'Twas a Thursday eve in June time,
Dark and foggy were the heavens;
All the students there were sleeping,
And the Freshmen, ail were dreaming
Of the way they'd beat poor '90 ;
When, a little after midnight,
Each on tiptoe softly stepping,
Noiseless forms passed down the stairway,
Out across the campus glided
To the Armory, barred and bolted,
Where was safely placed the cannon.
Jack was out and so was John S ;
Marblehead was represented,
Hadley, Berlin, Westfield, Dedham,
Ashby, Littleton, and Cuba.
All the towns that could be thought of,
Had sent out a delegation.
Quickly to a window went they,
Raised it up and then they entered,
Tried the door, and soon it yielded
To the unknown code of tactics
Which the men had come prepared with.
Softly now a few went in there
By the side of the lone cannon.
While without, the rest were watching,
Lest some poor belated student
Should by chance come wandering by there.
THE INDEX. 79
Many times they started moving,
But some sudden noise would stop them.
Rich, was hindered by his best girl
Prom retiring to his slumbers
At his usual early hour.
But at last all was auspicious
And the time for action coming,
Gently back — the door — they pushed it,
Fearing, lest the creaking hinges
Should disturb the peaceful slumber
Of the unsuspecting Freshmen.
Seized they then the brazen field piece,
Seized they every one upon it,
And with greatest care, preventing
E'en the slightest sound escaping
Rolled they it upon the greensward.
Then the line of march was taken
Down the roadway, towards the barnyard,
Round the corner by the sheep-pen
Where they stopped, and gathered quickly
All the implements for digging.
Then, within the sheep-pen going,
They commenced their task of labor.
Soon a grave was dug as deeply
As would hold a class of Freshmen.
Then "dismounting piece," they laid it
Gently in the grave's wide bosom.
Back again, they took the limber,
Quietly placed it in the Armory
And the other piece they drew off,
Which they put with its companion
In the grave prepared so well there,
In the sheep-pen by the barnyard.
Carefully they threw the earth back,
Scattered straw with skill upon it,
Stamped it down, then drew the sheep-rack
O'er the place of excavation,
Lest the Freshmen, in their searching,
Should discover signs of burial.
To destroy all trace of wheel tracks,
Went those men into the milk-room,
Took the hose and sprinkled water,
O'er the earth for yards about there.
JO THE INDEX
Now at last their labor ended
As the dawn was coming fast.
To their bedrooms they ascended
And again all slumbered sound.
Thus it was that '90 " got there,"
And, with skill no craft could beat,
Spoilt the "racket" of the Freshmen
And returned in peace to sleep.
PART III.
Gleefully arose the Freshmen,
Thought they then with great delight
Of the way they'd saved their cannon
By the Juniors' good advice.
Soon they started out for breakfast,
They must eat strong food to-day,
For to-night 's the celebration,
And their strength must be kept up.
As they walk along the campus
Lo! they see one piece is gone,
But of course the other's ready,
Kept by two or three strong locks;
Still they think they'll take a peep in
Just to see how nice it looks.
But one glance has made them shiver,
For they see their cannon's gone.
Consternation rises quickly,
Where? How? When? What shall we do ?
Are the questions that come pouring
THE INDEX
As they gather in a crowd.
Richy says, " Class meeting quickly."
There they talk, 'tis little good,
For they cannot be decided
On the thing they'd better do.
Out they come and then they scatter,
O'er the country far and near,
Looking in the strangest places
For the means to shoot this evening.
Down the drains, and in the cornfield,
In the swamp, and 'round the barn,
Wander the heart-sickened Freshmen,
As they try to find their gun.
Farmer Wright, who knows their greenness,
Gives them each a fork in hand,
And down cellar quickly speed they
Where they labor, but in vain.
Thus the day is spent in looking
For the guns they never found,
And by evening they are tired,
Both in body and in mind.
Still they think that noise they must have,
And they to the mortal's go;
But again they are disheartened,
For the noise their powder made
Did not reach the ears of students
Who near by in slumber lay.
Thus the Freshmen's night was ended,
And 'tis said by all around
'Twas the poorest ever held here,
Thanks to '90's skill so sound.

An Ideal Love Letter.
TYT Y DULCINEA :
* Here you have at your feet, Oh Queen of Beauty, a
mortal who adores you and in whose heart there has been an aching void,
since the very first moment that he had the good fortune of gazing at your
majestic countenance. I have seen in you the angel of my secret adorations
and words are a little less than nothing to express my feelings. 1 love you
as the butterflies love the sweet flowers from which they suck the honey.
I love you as Abelardo loved Eloise ; Paulo, Virginia, and Romeo, Juliet.
As a wrecked mariner clings to the life-preserver, which in the dark tem-
pest and among the turbulent waves is his only hope of salvation, so my
darling, do I cling to you. Fail me, Oh fail me not. Let thy love buoy up
my soul. Take me for thine own, and by your acceptance of my all, save
me from a dark fortune, turning fear into gladness, earth into heaven!

Historical Reminiscence.
0UR special detective has presented us with the following, which he
is said to have clipped from historic faculty records during his re-
cent investigation of the most interesting and instructive proceedings of
that most highly honored board.
April — ,
Whereas, It is generally understood and acknowledged that the farmer
is a brute, and by his profession wholly and utterly incapable of enjoying
or in the slightest degree appreciating those pleasures of life which are
known among men as social, and
Whereas, In times past efforts have been made which, if continued, are
likely to dangerously alter public sentiment in this respect.
Resolved, That WE, the undersigned members of
on this day of April of the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and do hereby denounce and abolish from this time forth
and forever all efforts to improve in any way shape or manner, by any
means whatsoever, the social life and privileges of the students of the Mas-
sachusetts Agricultural College; and, further,
Resolve, That as an aid to the above humane sentiment, we throw
open the gateway which leads to the slums of the street. And be it further
Resolved, That in so doing we are not only saving OURSELVES much
needless trouble and anxiety for our respected and beloved proteges, but
are doing an act worthy of gentlemen of our standing and pulling wool
over the eyes of the public in general.
Signed,
Members of
Notice. — We are happy to announce that the sentiment expressed in
the above has to some slight degree been modified during recent years, but
there is still further opportunity for improvement in this direction.— Ed.

Stolen Thunder.
1 I T HERE is a youth whose eyes and hair
-L Are of a darkish hue,
Whose face was always bland and bare,
Till after studious thought and care,
A gentle moustache grew.
In the seclusion of his room
He studies night and day;
His modest features ne'er assume
Ecstatic joy or dreary gloom,
Nor arrogance display.
His time-piece on his table lies:
With measured promptitude,
Each moment's duties he descries,
And Time's demands at once supplies,
In steady working mood.
His task it is the bell to ring,
To call the classes in;
Upon the bell-rope doth he cling,
Before 'tis time the bell to swing,
And at the dot begin.
And as the bell rings out its cbimes,
Then tolls its steady stroke,
Then rings again its half-way rhymes,
Then tolls along, and lastly mimes
Rush of a rapid brook.
It seems the manner to resound
Of him who rings the bell;
To place in order duties found,
And only in its proper round
Upon each one to dwell.

December 10, 1886.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
SAMUEL CLARENCE THOMPSON, '72,
HENRY FRANCIS HUBBARD, '78,
JOHN ASHBURTON CUTTER, M. D., '82.
The Club was called into existence by seven graduates and two non-
graduates, who met at the ARISTON October 27, 1886. December 10 the
organization became permanent by vote of over twenty-five graduates and
non-graduates at a dinner at Martinelli's. The second dinner followed in
December of 1887 at Clark's, where the Club will hereafter dine. These
dinners are a success. Some travel comparatively Jong distances to attend,
and all present are busy men, who take it to be a delight to come together
as children of our dear Alma Mater, meet those who have not been seen for
years, recall memories of past glorious days, hear an account of the actual
condition of the institution, rejoice over its progress, and finally part say-
ing that the best thing they ever did was to "enter the M. A. C."
All guests of the Club are considered its honorary members, and all
graduates and non-graduates who dine with the Club its active members.
Fees are assessed at the time of the dinner for the expenses of printing and
per plate, but there is no constitution, neither are there any by-laws.
The next dinner will be held December 14. The Club usually dines at
7:30 o'clock, to accommodate those coming late from business, and hereafter
arrangements will be made so that the parlors at Clark's will be open in
the latter part of the afternoon for social intercourse.
It is earnestly desired that all graduates and non-graduates of the
M. A. C. who have not before received notice of the Club's dinners, or who
have changed their addresses, will communicate with the Secretary-Treas-
urer, Dr. J. A, Cutter, The Ariston, Broadway and 55th Street, New York.
