YE who would read history's pages,
And glance at the fame of heroes passed by,
Don't stop to peruse this beautiful binding ;
We simply record the lives of the guy.
Ye who would pore o'er pages of science,
Learning the secrets of Nature s broad breast,
Better keep on with the work you are doing —
You are wasting the time that you spend with our jest.
But ye who are blessed with a slight tinge of humor,
And enjoy a joke or a good story told.
Or want to know how the rope-pull was managed,
And all about " wheats " that the College controls.
Ye are the ones that the Index was made for,
Ye are the ones for whose pleasure we strive ;
To you, fellow students and graduates.
Ninety-eight offers this book of her pride.
IN RECOGNITION
OF THE HIGH ESTEEM IN WHICH HE IS HELD BY THE STUDENTS,
AND OF THE HIGH STANDARD AT WHICH HE MAINTAINS
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH,
WE TAKE PLEASURE IN DEDICATING THIS VOLUME

( ^JPreface.
]INTER is upon us, and with it, of course, must come " the largest
and most expensive volume of the Index ever published." We
have for a long time been considering whether, on account of
the small numbers of our class, it would be advisable to im-
prove on former volumes in size and quality. We finally came to the con-
clusion that, as the college has so greatly increased in numbers during the
last three years, it would be very inappropriate for the little class of Ninety-
Eight to publish a small book. In accordance with the custom of former
Boards, we have an exalted opinion of ourselves ; and we do not hesitate
to say, as the eminent Senior J. B. puts it, that we have published " the best
thing that ever happened." There are the usual number of valuable statistics
to be found in none of our college publications but the Index.
We have tried hard to tell you something about the prominent men in
college in a manner which would please them and at the same time save us
from a lawsuit. If you find your name in a conspicuous place, never mind ;
pass it over, and see what you can find about your room-mate.
We hope no one mentioned in the following pages will bear us any ill-will,
as we have simply been trying to do our duty to the college. And now.
Students, Faculty, and Alumni, if you wish to find out anything about "Aggie,"
do not waste your time looking in vain in the College Catalogue, but buy a
Ninety-Eight Index and learn all about the M. A. C.

ROM the standpoint of the undergraduate how enticing the world
looks. What possibilities nerve one to prepare for the struggle
toward success which, fortunately perhaps, appears so easy of
attainment. And none realize this more strongly than those of
us whose college days are over, and who are bound to face the
stern realities of life, whether we will or not.
How gladly would we, if we could, let you profit by our errors and mistakes,
that you might leave our Alma Mater well grounded in the lessons which we
have been obliged to master, and which seemed to us, as they do now to you,
only slightly harder, perhaps, than a little extra grind on physics or geometry.
It is hard, too, at times, to overcome the realization that we can no longer
assist, decorously of course, in the festivities of Freshman night, or in upholding
the honor of " Aggie " upon the campus.
Oh yes, we had our little experiences, in which figured at various times the
old chapel, the flag pole, the cannon, and — yes, occasionally perhaps, some of
our four-footed farm companions. We had, of course, our proportion of cuts
and bolts, no doubt all that were allowed us, and we have been through, as you
soon will, one of the hardest ordeals of college life — the parting — the getting
through — the end.
And how short those four years were as we look back upon them now. The
rough edges are all rubbed away, and even those of us who worked while we
played, are disposed now, I am sure, to look back with more or less regret
toward the familiar college walls.
True, we see changes — changes for the better ; it would be ungenerous of
us not to wish it so ; but the associations are still there, the general surroundings
which call to mind each incident of our college course are ever prominent, and
with these before us, very rare is the man who can become entirely forgetful of
the institution to which he owes so much.
And right here it may not be out of place to speak a few words in behalf of
one who has ever had the very best interests of the college at heart, and who
has already proved his devotion to its welfare, our President. We have all at
different times come under his careful guidance ; and we would say to you who
have not yet received your coveted degree, make the most of him while you
may, for you will find very few in after years who will be a truer friend, or who
will take a greater interest in your life work and progress than he.
We note with pleasure the improvements in the government of the college,
and we feel that our trustees have fulfilled their obligations to the best of their
ability with the material and resources with which they have been provided.
It is said that experience is the best teacher, more often it is the only teacher ;
and being but young in years, and of a radically different policy from the older
classical universities, it is but natural that our college should have been obliged
to feel its way in its own particular line, and that it should have at times encoun-
tered obstacles requiring the keenest adaptability to overcome.
But we realize that it is no longer an experiment. The people of the State
should be convinced long ere this that its usefulness is of a character that will
broaden and enrich the powers of our Commonwealth, because it strikes at the
very root of all progress and development — production.
And we are watching your attainments as well as the college ; for all that you
may do, whether for good or bad, is part and parcel of the progress of the
whole ; and we can assure you that your influence is very far from being the
smallest factor in shaping the destinies of M. A. C. We have watched the
development of the Index, from the older issues into the finished volume of
to-day, and we are glad that successive classes have kept unbroken the old
custom of its yearly publication from the very first.
We have followed with increasing interest the continuation of Aggie Life,
and trust that its support may be such that it too will hereafter be considered
as one of the essential features among the student organizations.
We take an interest in your wants and in your accomplishments, because we
realize that you are making college history of to-day, as we did in years gone
by ; and we trust that these closing years of this century of progress mark but
the beginning of a life of usefulness for you and an era of prosperity for our
Alma Mater.

Gone — gone — gone,
From the campus ground
They stole away when their work was done.
Forgotten they'll be, their joyous sound;
They have gone away, they 've had their fun.
Another class, on the campus lawn,
Fills the place of the class that 's gone.
And so — so — so,
As the years roll by,
Many a name you '11 forget to write ;
And so — so — so,
You may heave a sigh
For many a friend that 's lost from sight ;
And so — so — so,
They go.

EPTEMBER has come
and gone, but it
has bequeathed to
"Aggie," as an evi-
dence of its interest
toward the institution, the class of
1900. It is our good fortune to
be the century class. As to our
being unaccustomed to college life
we will admit it, but as to being
green, — never !
During our first days here we heard, now and then, allusions to the " Owl
Club." Though we had heard of this club, yet we could not come to any definite
conclusion as to its mode of operation. It presented to our minds only vague ideas
of a something, — what shall we call it ? — with which in due time we would become
acquainted. And so we did ! On a certain memorable Friday night we were
unceremoniously introduced to the secrets, — heretofore unknown, — and the
mysteries of the " Owl Club " forever vanished. Now, I believe, there are none
M'ho have not the most complete mental image of that order. But we soon suf-
ficiently recovered from our informal midnight reception to win the rope-pull.
It was a closely contested struggle. At the signal to drop, the Sophs., as they
were more experienced, took in at least a foot of the rope, but they could not
hold the advantage thus gained ; for, when our men began to heave, the rope
was slowly pulled back. When time was called we had fairly won by an inch
and a half. It was only a small gain, but sufficient to give us the victory. As
this was our first class victory we naturally felt very jubilant, and, as you may
imagine, we passed the night in celebration.
But our supremacy was short-lived. In a few weeks the Sophomore-Freshman
football game came off. Here we were defeated by a score of 6 — - o. Our
men were quite the superiors in regard to individual playing, but as for team
work, we were completely surpassed by the motherly Sophs. Although we were
worsted by that wise and honorable body we would not, however, have it thought
that our men cannot play. That would be a great injustice to ourselves. Think
for a moment ! Five able-bodied men from our class are on the 'Varsity team !
Does that look as though we had no players ?
Nor have we been slow in other directions. We are represented on the Glee
and Banjo Club. And (for we certainly must mention it) we are well repre-
sented at the " Hash House."
We have come here with a determination so to acquit ourselves that we will
do credit to our college, and so to train ourselves that we will be the more fitted
for life's work. And what is our life's work to be ? Some of us have already
chosen, but by far the most have not made known their preferences. But let us
all, who have not decided, be ever alert to those opportunities which come to
every man. Let us not be compelled to say in the next Index that we have not
chosen our life's work.

ES, dears, the Index has not forgotten you. We hope that " Chil-
dren's Page," in connection with the Y. M. C. A. Handbook, will
furnish you all the information and advice you need. When we
first gazed on such verdant specimens as Shutesbury, Lewis, and
Fat Adams, we were surprised and astonished beyond measure.
However, we notice that the early frosts of " Sophomorism," so common about
" Aggie," have had a very beneficial effect. What the Index wants is to have
you grow up and become men. Put away all childish thoughts of Susie and pet
calves, and settle down to the stern realities of college life.
Of the wily Sophomores,
You '11 have to be quite shy ;
They like to fool the Freshies,
Some day you '11 see why.
Always mind the Juniors,
And do just as they say ;
Don't refuse to lend them mon.
You '11 see why, some day.
Show the Seniors great respect,
Salute when they pass by ;
They have much to worry them,
Some day you '11 see why.
O O
The other day little Mark Munson came running into South Barracks and
said, " Oh, Mr. Junior, mamma sent me another box of those sugar cookies. I
28
am so glad, because I get so tired of the crackers and cheese at the Hash
House."
O
Dear Children :
Do not have anything to do with the Sophs. They are a bad lot. Of
course you have heard about their trip to Shutesbury. Somebody wrote an
awful bad letter to a Greenfield paper, telling all about them, but the Sophs,
denied every word of it. Of course they would, they always deny everything.
Another thing, never kick about anything connected with the college. It
makes the Faculty real mad.
If any of you should happen to get through algebra, please write and let the
Index know about it, and we will immediately see the Mathematical Department
and find out if there is any good reason for it. This thing must be stopped ;
first thing we know we shall have a Freshman here without any conditions.
Your best friend,
The Index.
O
Once upon a time there was a lot of little boys went to a school on a large
farm, where they kept cows and pigs, and where grapes grew up on top of a very
steep hill. And some of these boyS were awful bad, and a few were very good
little boys.
Now, the bad little boys would, once in a while, be found upon this high hill,
and then a gentleman who lives part way up this hill would scold them awfully,
so that they would never go there again. Once some of these awful bad boys
were out late at night, and a " good man " who was afraid they might take cold,
told them to go to bed like good little boys, and try to be like men. A little
while afterwards, however, some more bad boys stuffed a lot of hay in a good
boy's room, and afterwards laughed and played about a big bonfire.
The good boys were very quiet, and went to Sunday School every Sunday
morning, and upon the high hill every Sunday night ; not always, though ; some-
times they went to a place where they squeeze apples, so that they could watch
the water run out, and often they would bring a little home to see if it tasted
like the water on the farm.
Good boys do good deeds ! Some very thoughtful, good little boys once
stretched a nice wire across a wide country road, so that the little birds could
have something to go to sleep upon when it grew dark.
Such thoughtfulness is always rewarded. It is much better to be numbered
among the good Uttle boys and always be thoughtful of others. Do you not
think so ?

I was sitting in my study,
Working hard a problem o'er,
When I chanced to tliink of records
Of our class the year before.
Then my thoughts, they left the problem.
And its sines and cosines all,
And then turned to our history.
Which occurred from spring to fall.
Y reveries carry me back to the early winter term, when this epoch
opens. Among things which I see are two bolts ; one secured by
us, the other by the English Department. Our practice games with
Ninety-seven, Hopkins, and the High School, together with thorough
training, prepared the way to a more renowned exploit, namely, our
hard-earned victory over Ninety-eight on the diamond. How the horns shrieked !
How loudly the drums beat! Who, by future hearth-stones, will tell of their joy-
ful freshness while dancing, yelling, howling, exultant o'er their good success ; of
blazing torches, grotesque figures, white-robed youngsters on their triumphant
march ? Ask Keenan, forget not Armstrong.
Now memory brings up before my gaze delightful visions of our class ban-
quet; of tempting morsels and savory viands, and of our Toastmaster as he arose

and said, " Perhaps Mr. will tell us what he remembers of ' mathematics ' ;
I take great pleasure in announcing that we have with us the Hon. F. H., who
will address you on 'The Present Occasion.' " At midnight, our Freshman year
over, the clock proclaims us Sophomores.
Returning in the fall to enter our second year in college, our one question
was, " Who has not come back " ? Several of our dear classmates had not re-
turned, but it was with deepest sorrow we learned that one, beloved by all, had
crossed the Sea of Life and gained the Eternal Shore.
Then our thoughts wandered to the Freshmen — not the poor, starting, trem-
bling novices you read about, but good, soUd, well-built fellows — and we made
no threats that we would subject a larger class to dire contingencies. Weight
and firmness won them the rope-pull; aptness and experience gave us the foot-
ball game. Again, with the thundering roar of those ancient mortars, did we
reinstate our honored symbols upon " Aggie's " historic walks.
Other pleasant reminiscences have we had in our several botanical trips with
Prof. Smith and Dr. Stone. Who will forget those varying scenes ? The bound-
ing coach as it descended the hill, the red, ripe strawberries and their attractions,
the cooling waters of the Connecticut, the photographs, the rustic village of
Shutesbury and its illustrious inhabitants, — all these we will ever remember.
In athletic organizations, in literary lines, our men are to be found holding
the best positions accessible to a Sophomore. As regards our course, our social
nature, our future advantages, it has been said by a learned professor that the
standard of the college depends, in great measure, upon Ninety-nine. Surely,
classmates, if it devolves upon you to set the example for succeeding classes,
you will so conduct your persons that whatever befalls our Alma Mater there can
be cast upon you no bitter reflections.
Was it wonder that I pondered
Over all our doings, late,
And when I 'd finished pondering,
That the problem had to wait ?

F I should wait for an
inspiration to write
upon this class, I
fear its description
would remain a per-
fect blank, with its illustration the
reciprocal of the bygone incident
on the top of page io6, '96 Index :
"Now then, Mr, Baxter, isn't
that meaning clearly conveyed ? Well, you can spend four hours to think it
up. I can do it in thirty minutes."
Our class needs no description ; you all know that we won the rope-pulls from
'97 and '99, and that we helped 1900 to win theirs from the " Sophs." How we
did yell over the victory of the Freshmen. How business-like Warden did look
when Eaton would n't " holler," but the "giant " sings on the Glee Club with me,
so " that will be all right." Twice we have had our mountain day trip. Twice
we have enjoyed ourselves without " Jimmy, the Turk," who thinks he is among
nothing but " boys and hard men."
When we came back last September, we learned that there was not a " stuck "
man in the class. In Military — well, words won't express it — if there hadn't
been other men to get the offices, we would have had them all. "Nick " struck
34
the job of rubbing down the cannon, while " Julian " carries the flag of his
country. Yet it might be well to say that the decision was close between
"Stiles" and the "Turk." But " Avedis " would be too much of a colored
sergeant, so this great honor fell to " Lengthy." If tradition be true, we must
not leave out the fact that. we, the class of '98, Juniors at the Massachusetts
State College, are indeed climbing the long and ancient hill to the B. M. It was
here, in this room, that we gave up what little knowledge we did know as Fresh-
men, on our entrance examinations. Here it was we met "Q," that subject of
curiosity, and here it was we met Washburne, that old , who did n't "fire "
a man.
As upper classmen we have struck something new this term, the "Zoological
Lab.," where we are daily supplied with morceaux des rois, from the American
Ambassador to Turkey. We also attend the exercises of that learned Professor
of Chemistry, who says : " Well, Mr. Clark, just what are you doing now ; can I
assist you any " ? In leaving these favorable impressions of these once famous
departments, I would not fail to mention :
Those scenes in the classroom
Where Philly we meet, but we '11 soon take our flight ;
And then we will ugre all the Freshmen to bolt him,
Glad to get out of " exams." and his sight.
" We will not argue the matter further," for I wish to inform all readers that
this dirge is written " on a purely scientific basis."
Our class also has the characteristic of being ambitious. Twice, thrice
have we attempted to h^e Junior Electives ; twice, thrice have come back those
familiar words, " Not granted." We understand that the Sophomores are living
in hopes, — we did, too, — yet we do wish you success.
And when we are done with your ' Trig.' and Mechanics,
Then we will have a bonfire, we will;
And then we will roast you and talk of your prantics,
How you 've been fooled. Oh ! we '11 drink to our ' Phil.'
I must not fail to mention the good that resulted from the coaching '96 gave
us. True it is we were sorry when you went, and we will try and profit by your
many mistakes.
" Sam." no longer drives his little black horse back and forth to college, but
carries his books in a green book bag, and it is often puzzling to know whether
it is Prof. that is coming or his satellite.
35
The Index, the Index, you "11 ever be weary
Of reading this poem so strong, yet so true :
But I hope you '11 not stick me, nor make me leave college.
Because I have done what the rest failed to do.
What a great change has taken place in the class since we had our Freshman
picture taken. Baxter has begun to grow ; Warden has sideboards ; Wright ( ? )
and the "Turk" have moustaches, while J. S. and Alex, failed in the attempt.
Kinsman has gone, his beard queered him. Charmbury and Birnie have been
classed as things of the past.
Looking through some of the older copies of the Index, I came across a
picture of that famous old pill box, which exists to the present day. Some
curious persons may think it contains remedies for headache or indigestion ;
not so, but a sure, guaranteed remedy to bring on consumption (of English
matters).
Yet still from my heart I can say that I like you,
As will some of the rest when they 've thought awhile ;
And when '98 leaves you and your presence.
Then we will rest from your zero and smile.
Now then, " Georgia," we understand you intend to take mathematics next
year, but just remember that you are on the Index Board, and with what measure
ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Thus, you readers of the '98 Index, see the situation of our class. Fooled
out of Junior Electives, we are going to take physics. It gives me great honor
to deliver to you this history of the class of '98, by which I hope no one will be
affected or cause me to be.
And thus, at the end, I would say to you Philly,
Learn and be wise, for there 's much you don't know.
Whenever you 're stuck in the study of physics,
Just send to this class and we '11 sing you this ditty.
How dear to my heart are those scenes of the classroom.
Where Philly we met, but we '11 soon take our flight;
And I trust you '11 not stick me nor make me leave college.
Because I have done what the rest failed to do.

p
uhe Class of TJen,
O O
OETS sing of deeds at arms,
Of love, of Spring,
Of beauty's charms.
I 'II sing in another strain
Of a single class,
A class of fame.
We entered college in ninety-four,
Some large, some small,
But half a score.
Yet with strength and might and will,
We claimed respect
In class and drill.
Some have come and some have gone.
Still this little band
Is just ten strong.
And lest our fame be forgotten in the years to come,
Here 's a short historical sketch.
Of interest, perhaps, to some.
Mr. Baxter! fair reader, wee et petit,
A prodigy of learning
As great as his feet.
He 's a sticker, a stayer,
A Champion chess player;
And barin' his squinting he 's a " bang-up " surveyor.
This is Mr. Clark. Would you know him.''
He's called Clifford Gay,
Old Sunderland City's
Brightest ray.
39
He 's a dandy, loves Mandy,
Walks out from Sammy,
And he 'd rather take the window than the door.
Have you ever seen our giant ?
Have you never heard him talk ?
Have you ever seen Jule Eat (on) ing ?
Did you never see him walk ?
Just turn to the Junior members,
And there you '11 see in style.
The many prominent ofhces
Of Eaton Julian Stiles.
Ah! Mr. Fisher, Mr. Willis Sykes Fisher,
Quite the loveliest boy, and the sweetest creature
That ever wore a dimpled feature.
He is so bright that sometimes he 's not quite right;
And yet, he 's as sweet as the honey of the bees.
I wonder? Does he yet say "hard cheese ".^
And now, gentle reader,
I come to our most eminent Editor,
Montgomery, Jr., The Great Alexander.
Now hear me ;
I speak not of old Alexander, nor his conquests.
But of young America's budding florist;
And should there be
A passage more beautiful or flowery than the rest,
You may know it is plucked from the Editor's best.
This is John P. Nickerson, happy old Nick,
Makes all the fellows pay their board quick.
He helps Tab in the lab.
Make an infernal smell.
And he has a higher seat than the doctor in chapel.
Now, as you can plainly see.
Comes Mr. Warden, Randall D.,
He 's the smartest in the class,
He 's the college best gymnast.
40
In base-ball well he swings the stick;
At polo, tennis, he is slick.
Hotheaded, literary, poetic, quite,
And he thinks that Boston is out of sight.
The next character I wish to present
Is one of " Aggie's " famous Amherst talent.
You 've heard of Hubbard and Charmbury, Wentzell and Shaw,
Of Tisdale, of Roberts, of Dana — Well, I could call
So many — There 's Ranney,
But our Sam. Wiley,
He 's the most talented man of them all.
Ladies! know ye not some handsome laddie,
Some hero! A noble, fearless laddie!
There was once a Deerfield chappie
Dwelt among the "wheats" at " Aggie."
Once he made a famous sally,
Fell upon the great John B ry ;
No excuse have we to sight,
There is no excuse, for this was(W) right.
The last to appear of this little band
Is a most noted foreigner, Adjemian.
He has sworn to kill the Sultan
With a " bull-dog" Smith & Wesson.
Oh ! he 's born to be a famous Turkey man.
Now he wants to be the mother
Of the Turkish Agriculture,
And to write a Noble Science
Or to form a close alliance
With a rich and very sweet American.
Here stand the Ten : After they 're gone.
Perchance, should some Soph.
In passing along.
See a '98 across the moon
Let him stop;
Not another drop —
He 's drunk if he sees this in the moon.

■IHE last year of our
college life at " Old
Aggie " is swiftly
fleeting, and it is with
a sad heart that the
historian for the last time turns
over the history of '97 to the
Index. As he writes it, his mind
wanders back over the events which happened during his college course, now
all too swiftly drawing to a close.
Again the class takes its place in chapel for the first time, and is the object
of many comments from the other classes. Again are we on the campus giving
our class yell, which, alas, fails to cheer our team on to victory. Still other
scenes present themselves, and at last, at the end of the year, we are gathered
together at Springfield for our Freshman night supper. Who will forget it ?
How proud we are because we outwitted the Sophs. What a feeling of pride
and joy is in every heart as they realize that the second round of the ladder is
reached.
Now he recalls the looks of surprise and incredulity as the class meets for
the first time in the beginning of the second year. How fast the questions fly !
UsA^S.
42
Where is the rest of the class ? Is this all that remain of those who entered
with us ? Alas ! Too true ! Mathematics had descended upon us, and like the
leaves in a fall breeze, many of our classmates were blown we know not where.
This only bound us more closely together. Then the events pass rapidly before
his vision until Commencement has come once more, and each one realizes that
another round of the ladder is reached ; that the goal for which they are striving
will soon be theirs.
Again we are Juniors, enjoying that most delightful trip to Boston. Again we
skip the Professor, and go to Keith's. The scene suddenly changes, and grief
visits us for the first time. In the spring of the year one of our members passed
into the realms of eternal peace. A loyal classmate, a true friend, an earnest
Christian, the memory of Chas. Austin King will always remain dear to every
one of us.
Then the time changes. He no longer thinks of the past, but of the future.
He wonders what will be in store for each one after next Commencement.
There is a place in this world, classmates, for each one of us, but we must
gain it for ourselves ; so let us make the most of our opportunities, not only that
we may uphold the honor of '97, but also that we may become worthy represent-
atives of M. A. C.

S it becomes my unwelcome task to submit the last of the class
histories of the two year men, is it out of place to ask a question
or two?
In the first place, in what way could the shorter course injure
an agricultural college ? We can very well understand that in a
school in which the science of agriculture has no place the above course would
have no importance, but in a school dedicated to the advancement of the young
men, I may say the young farmers of a State, a comprehensive course in agri-
culture of the length best suited to the requirements of those intending to
become farmers is absolutely necessary.
As far as history goes the class of two years, '97, has little to boast, for the
simple reason that in the present year there has been no first-year class on which
our superior strength and sagacity might have been exerted, but the fates have
not submitted it to our tender care, so, for a change, we will draw this expression
of regrets to a close, renewing once more our allegiance and loyalty to old
" Aggie " and our many college friends, who will long remain in the memories of
the various members of the Two Years Class of '97. B.

Jx freeze froTn Old Ocean,
WRITTEN FOR THE INDEX BY HERMAN BABSON.
O O
flE WERE sitting in Dick's room. Dick was a Freshman. His full name
was Richard Purling Shiper, and he came from the eastern part of the
State of Maine ; in fact, from the very seashore. When he entered col-
lege he did not know a single soul, and when he had been among us two
weeks he knew everybody. How was it, you ask? Well, it was due to
his jollity and good nature. I suppose we thought him a little fresh, too, but his fresh-
ness was different from that shown by other classmates of his; it was a breezy, good-
humored freshness. It reminded me of a bright, sparkling day on the ocean. Perhaps
I have overdone that comparison, but I say what is true, nevertheless. He was always
talking about the sea, until we pretended that we were very much bored. P remember
one fellow, however, — a Freshman, of course, — who had never set eyes upon rolling
billows. He would listen with astonishment to the stories young Shiper poured into his
ever-receptive ears.
As I said, we were sitting in Dick's room. It was a frosty evening in November.
We had just returned from town and had piled into his room, thinking to tease him a
little. We were going to request him to stand on his table and repeat the fish story he
liad lately circulated about college ; but as we opened the door and saw him lounging
before his fire, so warm and cosy, we gave up our plan for the moment, and quietly
seated ourselves around him.
"What do you fellows want? " Dick asked, straightening himself up in his chair,
and casting his eyes round upon us.
" Oh, nothing," gravely answered a Senior named Purley, " except to hear you
talk."
Dick grinned. Of course, after that remark, he could say nothing.
" Come, Freshman, spout away ! " exclaimed my room-mate, and I chimed in to the
same effect.
The youngster got on his feet, thrust his hands in his pockets, and walked over to
the window.
'• Look here, fellows," said he, " It's too late to make a racket to-night, and besides,
I 'm a little tired. I knew what you were up to when I heard your steps in the entry.
I could have locked my door and have kept you outside, but the fact is, I 've something
that 's good for you. See?"
A series of half-uttered exclamations broke from us all, and we advanced toward
50
where he stood as though to correct his disrespectful demeanor. But he waved us
back, and went on :
"You've stacked my room, and ducked me In the pond, and made me wear my
clothes wrong side out, and I don't know what else. Now you can do something
to-night, of course, but you won't get a peep inside the box that is locked in that
closet. Agree with me, however, for a truce to-night, and we '11 have a feast. Is
it a go?"
It took us about a second to reach a decision.
Dick went to the closet, unlocked it, and drew forth a large box. When he
removed the cover, our eyes rested upon a sight fit for the gods. There were cakes,
and pies, and doughnuts in that box; and a jar of jam, two bottles of olives, one of
pickles, and a tin of sardines; and in the bottom lay a note. The Freshman had not
intended for us to see this last, but as you may suppose, we pounced upon it, and made
a show of reading it. As we bore the letter across the room, a photograph fell from
the envelope, upon the floor.
I picked it up. It was the picture of as sweet a girl as I ever hope to see. We
made a great deal of talk over it, of course, and during our feast — and it was a feast,
I can tell you — we gave it a place of honor on the centre table. We asked Dick a lot
.of questions about the picture, but he evaded our questions as best he could.
The evening wore away, and midnight found us still in the Freshman's room. As
the electric light went out, however, we started to leave. Dick called to us through the
darkness to remain. As we paused, undecided, he remarked :
" I suppose you fellows don't care, then, to know the story of that girl ? "
" Look here, Freshman," said I, " It 's too late to hear any story now, especially one
of your stories. I suppose you want to tell us how you saved her life, how you found
her floating on a raft, or something of that sort."
" No, it 's nothing like that," he replied, striking a match and lighting a candle
" It 's a good, honest story, and I thought that since you all seemed interested, you
might like to hear. I've never spoken about it before."
Several of us looked at our watches, and then at Dick. He really seemed eager to
speak, so we once more sunk into the chairs.
" I don't know whether any of you have ever been down my way," he began, " but
the place is nothing more or less than a stretch of rocky shore, along which a few houses
are scattered as though cast up by the sea. I lived in one of those houses, and used to
help my father in his ' 'long-shore ' fishing. He would go out in a saihng dory at night, set
his trawls, and return the next morning to make the haul. He had several men to work for
him, and when I got old enough to know the difference between 'hard up' and 'hard
down' he set me also to work. It was a terrible life, I can tell you! One spring —
it was only three years ago — the catch was very small, and we made but little money;
things went from bad to worse until the climax came. One night my father did n't
SI
come home as usual; we waited and waited until after twelve o'clock. Then I went
down to the little stone wharf to see if his boat was there. It was not. I ran back to
the house and told my mother, but we could do nothing. When morning came I spread
the news among our neighbors, and several of them started off in their boats. At noon
they came back, towing father's dory; they had found it about five miles up the coast,
drifting among the rocks — empty. He was probably drowned while setting trawls.
" I tried to carry on the fishing, but it was of no use. My heart was n't in it, and I
longed for a change ; so did my mother. We were beginning to despair, when, one
day in June, a handsome forty-foot yacht dropped anchor in our cove. Anxious to see the
craft, I hung about the wharf while the tender put off from the boat and came toward
the land. When it drew alongside, a pleasant, elderly-looking man rose from the stern
sheets and stepped upon the pier. As he was about to pass by, he turned and said:
" ' You don't happen to know of any one out of employment here, do you — one
that would like to take a berth on my yacht ? '
" iMy own case flashed before my mind, and before I realized it I had told him of
my position.
" ' Well, you '11 be as good as any one,' he answered ; ' I '11 give you thirty dollars a
month for the summer. It seems a queer thing to do, but one of my men left last night
at S , where we put in, and I need another man to handle the craft.'
"Two hours later, after a hurried explanation to my mother, I boarded the
' ?klartha' of Boston, and sailed away for Bar Harbor.
" I wish I had time to tell you fellows of that summer. It was glorious ! To be
sure I was only a common hand, and I had to keep my mouth shut; but I don't know
how I should have gotten along had it not been for the pay I earned. We cruised up
and down the coast, the owner taking as many of his friends as he could. And later
on, there was the racing at Marblehead. We were fast, but not the fastest. Well, the
summer wore away, and September came ; the last race of the season was on the 19th.
We entered, and hoped to win; but somehow there was but little interest in the affair,
and no other yachts were on hand. We sailed over the course, nevertheless, and got
what is called a ' walkover.'
"The next morning the owner discharged three of the crew of six, and told those
of us whom he retained, that we were to take the yacht along the coast to a town where
she was to lie during the winter. It was a long sail from Marblehead, and we left as
soon as possible.
" It was a perfect evening as we drifted out by Baker's Island lights. I say
drifted, for there was n't a breath stirring. In the west the sky was crimsoned with the
setting sun. As the day faded into night, and the stars came out, a light breeze came
in from the open sea, and we slipped along past the North shore, rounded Cape Ann,
and shaped our course for the eastward. About two o'clock the following morning the
breeze freshened, bringing along a great bank of fog. When daylight broke the breeze
was still stronger, and the fog thicker than ever.
" Ordinarily, in such weather, we would have run for a harbor; but we were in a
hurry to get the boat off our hands, so kept on. All day long the fog hung with us, and
what was worse, the wind backed around to the northeast, compelling us to trim sheets
for a beat to windward.
"That night we were still tacking; and we had a choppy sea to butt against, too.
According to the captain's reckoning we hoped to reach our post about three the next
morning. It was only guess work, however, in the face of so unfavorable a wind. We
had an uneventful evening, and midnight found us with a changed course, bowling along
toward the shore. We now had the wind over our stern, and our speed was much
increased.
52
" It was half-past two — I remember because I happened to be looking clown
the companionway, and saw the cabin clock — when the sailing-master cried out :
" ' Keep your eyes open, lads, we ought to be somewhere near Sparkle Point Light.'
" The three of us peered into the watery gloom ahead, but to no purpose. Suddenly,
however, we heard a short, sharp, metallic grunt, — I can call it nothing else, — apparently
off our starboard bow.
"'There it is, boys ! ' shouted the master. 'That's the 'whistler' off the land.
Look sharp, now ! '
" I left the cockpit, and went forward to get an unhindered view. The splash of
water under our bow was so loud that for some moments I could hear nothing else.
" ' See anything ? ' called the skipper.
" ' Not yet,' I hollered back.
" On we went, straight toward the land. Every moment I expected to see the gleam
from the lighthouse lantern shoot through the fog. Presently the whistling buoy
shrieked again; this time dead ahead. I said nothing, for I knew the others must have
heard it. in a moment the dismal sound once more broke upon our ears; and before the
mournful wail had died away 1 saw the buoy looming out of the fog not one hundred
feet under our port bow. A sharp, icy chill surged through my veins. I could not speak,
so suddenly did my eyes behold the threatening danger ; larger and larger grew the great
conical object, as we bore down upon it; at last I found my voice ; I turned my head
and shouted with all my might:
" ' Hard down ! hard down ! Quick, man ! the buoy is close under our bow ! '
" I think the suddenness of my cry must have frightened the skipper ; or perhaps
he misunderstood me. At any rate, I saw him put the tiller hard up. Like a startled
bird the yacht bore off the wind. I cried out again, but it was too late. A sickening
shock sent me overboard. Even as I fell headlong, I heard the weird howl of the whistle
above my head, as the buoy settled in the trough of a wave.
"When I came to the surface I found myself about fifty feet astern of the yacht,
which, having slipped by the buoy, was rapidly disappearing in the darkness. How
much she was injured by the terrible blow, I could not tell. In a moment she was gone,
and I was left struggling in the water alongside the iron buoy.
" A dozen strokes took me to the slimy, barnacled mass of metal, and I swam round
it trying to find the iron ladder that leads to the whistle at the top. Sometimes these
buoys are made without these ladders, and I knew if this one was lacking it, my life was
not worth a fig. But I found it, and reached upward to grab it. I failed. I waited
until the buoy settled down, and tried again. This time I was successful. Exerting all
my strength, I hauled myself out of the water, and climbed up the sloping side until I
reached the top.
"I don't think there is any need for me to expatiate much upon the sufferings I
endured for the next three hours; I can leave it to your imagination. But it was up and
down, swirl this way, swirl that way, roll forward, roll backward, every moment. And
with it all, the irregular and deafening blasts from the whistle close to my ears. It was
flood tide, and the waves grew larger as daylight came on. Now the buoy would lift
me to the crest of a billow, until it seemed like being upon the top of a hill; and now,
with a horrible sensation, it would drop me into the watery valley that followed after.
" How I managed to hang on, I don't know. But finally the daylight broke, and
with it the fog disappeared, leaving Sparkle Point, with its lighthouse and other buildings
plainly visible half a mile distant.
" It was not until my attention was attracted toward the land, and thus drawn from
myself, that I found out how exhausted I was. I tried to holler, but could not utter a
'5-3
word; and then I looked round to see if I could discover the yacht, but she was no-
where in sight.
"And so I hung on, and the sun rose out of the ocean and lifted itself above the
fog that now lay along the horizon. The light in the distant tower was put out, and I
could see men walking on the shore. I tried to wave my hand, but needed both to cling
to the ladder. And so I clung, moment after moment, hoping that before long some
one on shore would see me. It was horrible ! So horrible that I can't fully realize
it, even as I tell of it. It affects me like the remembrance of some terrible disease. I
know I passed through it all, but my feelings are blunted — I can't recollect the acute
agonies I endured.
"At last I saw a boat with two people in it put off from the landing and head in
my direction. For a moment or two I was not sure whether it was coming to me or
not; but when I found out it was, I nearly fell off into the water from sheer emotion.
On it came, bobbing up and down on the waves, but, oh ! so slowly did it approach. It
seemed as though hours passed before it got within hailing distance. And when it did,
some one rose in the boat and waved a piece of cloth.
" It was a girl.
" Of course it was an easy matter for me to get into the dory when it came along-
side the buoy. They rowed me ashore, — I was told all this afterward, for I was too
weak to hear it then, — and put me to bed. That afternoon I was as well as ever.
"There isn't much else to tell. Just as I was starting for home I found out that
the force at the life-saving post was short one man. I applied to fill the vacancy, and
got the position. A year later, when the government established a weather station
near the light, I managed by good luck to become an assistant. There I remained until
last May, when I got an idea into my head that I wanted an education. So I studied a
bit, and came here."
Dick reached over to the table and helped himself to one of the few remaining
cakes. There was a short silence, broken by my room-mate.
" See here, my friend," said he, " I want to ask you two questions. One is, what
became of the yacht ? "
"Oh," answered Dick, "she got in all right, but in pretty bad shape. She was
built of steel, you see, and managed not to sink. But it was a close shave."
" The other question," continued my room-mate, "is, when are you going to tell us
about the girl. Where does she come in "?
"Eh? Oh — I — you see — well, it was this way. She saw me clinging to that
buoy and gave the alarm. One of the men at the station rowed out to get me, and took
her along, too. That 's all there is about it."
" Do you really think so, Dick ? " I whispered in his ear.
Dick's only reply was a blush.

WHEN to your arms, my lady fair.
You first did welcome me,
'Twas just as warm and pleasant there
As anything could be.
But ere a week its days had told,
My room became intensely cold,
And ne'er a day ahead I knew
If chills or fever would ensue.
I 'd see the marks of other men,
On looking o'er my small domain ;
'T was strange that from this cosy den
They should so soon depart again.
But though I 'd strive my eyes to blind,
Yet still on every hand I 'd find
These relics which 'twas plain to see,
Of tenants who 'd preceded me.
But these were only little things,
Beside your final act;
I could forget their biting sting,
But for the woful fact
That I, the chosen of your heart.
Who played so meek and mild a part,
I was without a day of grace
Evicted from my boarding place.

SMOOTH the floor and fair the ladies,
Sweet the music floats aloft,
Wafted o'er the gay decked drill-hall
In a waltz, as low and soft
As the whispered cooings
Of some boyish soldier wooing.
There are many stripes and chevrons,
Captains, privates, whirl about
In a maze of giddy dances,
Slowly winding in and out,
Like the fragrant roses
Intertwined among the tresses.
Here and there among the dancers,
In the whirl of some gay reel.
Darts a gray-haired, grave professor ;
Once again he seems to feel
A spark of youthfulness.
Too oft forgot when teaching us.
Thus I sit up in the gallery,
Dreaming of the fete below.
Yes! Sometimes I rather long to dance,
But you see I have no show.
Why ? Why ! The reason, sir ?
Well, because I have no girl.

Side Valks With ^oys.
Under this heading I have cheerfully answered, to the best of my ability,
several questions sent to me by my boy readers.
RuFus Mashmore.
J. R. D-T-H-R. — When you call on your young lady at half-past eight in the
evening, it would be proper to leave before 2.00 a. m.
T-R-E-R. — If your hair keeps falling out, I would advise having three or
four inches cut off the ends of it.
J. M. B. — It would not be proper to receive lady visitors in your college rooms
unless two or three chaperons accompany the party.
W. Arius D. — That lovely poem which you sent us, entitled " How to Raise
Razor Back Hogs by Electricity," could not be published in this issue owing to
lack of room.
C_L_Y, — If you love the young lady as you say you do, it would be right to
ask her to be your wife.
G. D. L. — All vegetables containing starch tend to fatten one. As you wish
to gain flesh, avoid all acids. Do not over exercise.
S-m-y's II-w-rd. — I do not think that a boy under fifteen should be
allowed to go to North Amherst.
Three Freshmen. — Through diligent scheming Prexy has been enabled to
secure an unlimited supply of Agricultural Reports, containing a full account of
the rainfall in China from 1 640-1 644, inclusive. Apply to Prof. Canavan for
copies of this valuable work.
Sam. S. — ^(i.) No, Sam., T am not a woman. As I have said before, I
have never had my picture taken, and so can not send you one. (2.) I think
those Freshmen were very rude to put a haystack in your room.
E. M. W-i-HT. — If you feel, my dear boy, that the little girl no longer cares
for you, I should advise you to discontinue your visits, and thus she may be able
to forget you.

J^rom 7/fi/ S^ipe Smoke,
I
SAT with my pipe one evening,
Watching the smoke curl aloft,
In a magical sort of dreaming.
Where visions are light and soft.
And there in the smoky vapor
As it rose and curled on high,
I saw my old Alma Mater
Rise, and go floating by.
There were the joys of the campus,
I could hear the tiresome bell,
And the grand old crew victorious.
Rose in the magical spell.
I saw my dear old room again,
And the things that once were there,
And I heard the laughter of the men
As they loitered on the stair.
Ah! Many years have come and gone ;
How quickly the old ways pass !
How many, many, many times
I have longed for the dear old class.

It is because he heard that attention to small things makes a successful man
that Dutcher takes such good care of his moustache.
Mr. J. W. Allen writes from the M. A. C. : " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. I used part of a
bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor, which stopped the falling of the hair, and
started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair, growing vigorously,
and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation, I should never
have been captain of the football team at ' Aggie.' "

^Popular Course of Juectures
To be Delivered at the ]VI. fl. C. During the Wir^ter Tcrnn o¥ '97.
On December 25, an address by the Rev. L. F. Clark on the " Evils of In-
temperance." This is one of Mr. Clark's best known lectures, and it is hoped
that a large number will attend. The lecture will be fully illustrated with
stereopticon views by John Marshall Barry.
On January 32, several members from the classes of '97 and '99 will speak
before the N. H. S. on the difficulties of pulling rope against the even classes.
These men are recognized authorities on this subject, each having had practical
experience on a losing team for two years in succession.
Lecture before the Boarding Club. On Saturday evening, February
steenth, Mr. L. Bert Cheney will give a lecture on " How to Find an Oyster in
a Hash House Stew." Mr. Cheney was fortunate enough to discover an oyster
in his stew one night last Avinter. Let every one take advantage of this grand
opportunity, and learn how to capture one of those rare animals.
Of the accomplishments possessed by Mr. W. R. Crowe 11, 1900, none is so
well known as his talking ability. We have been fortunate enough to secure
this gentleman to appear before the students at chapel some Sunday during the
winter term. He will deliver a sermon, to which it is hoped the students will
pay the usual attention given to our Sunday sermons.

EditoriaU.
Freshmen, competition for next
year's Life Board begins now. It is
unnecessary to say that none but unusu-
ally talented men need apply, as the
present Board of Editors is rather
above ordinary, and we should be very
sorry to see the paper deteriorate from
its present high standard. Any one
who can write wrappers, do errands,
etc., is urged to compete.
Now that another very small Fresh-
man class has entered, we feel com-
pelled to ask the Faculty where the
fault lies. It certainly is not with the
students. Show us another institution
of our size that is any larger ; show us
another college that makes its Faculty
support its athletic teams ; show us a
place where the students do more kick-
ing. No, we believe the students are
doing their part.
Then the fault must lie in the way
the college is advertised. To be sure
the Sophomores have given us consider-
able advertising lately, but as we have
all seen, their ideas on the subject are
rather crude. Now the Board has a
proposition to make. Stop advertising
in farm journals and give a full-page
ad. to each of the following well-known
publications : The Christian Herald^
the New York Standard, and the Police
News. It would be well to give special
prominence to the Class of '99, showing
their connection with sheriffs, courts,
etc.
We wish to remind the Faculty of a
much needed improvement, and hope
to see it completed within two days.
We must have water in the North Bar-
racks. If the Trustees could realize
what an inconvenience it is for stu-
dents rooming there to be obliged to go
to the South Barracks for water, some-
times as often as twice a week, they
would either put in water, or else let all
the students move into the South Bar-
racks, as there are plenty of empty
rooms there.

Vhe Prize drills.
O O
A. M. KRAMER.
URING the past year a great
deal of interest has been
manifested in prize drills. On
the last day of the winter
term forty men competed for a beautiful
gold medal offered by Mr. I. C. Greene, '94,
and a military uniform presented by Mr.
Glynn. Capt. Pettit of Yale acted as judge,
and, after an hour of close and exciting
drilling, awarded the medal to C. A. Peters,
'97, the suit to A. Montgomery, '98.
For the last few years Technology and
Brown have been holding competitive prize
drills. This year the invitation was ex-
tended to, and accepted by Harvard and
M. A. C.
As soon as Lieutenaftt Dickinson received the invitation, he set about making
preparations. A squad of the best drillers was selected from the battalion,
and thoroughly drilled in the manual of arms, bayonet exercise, and firings. To
this, additions were made from time to time until it numbered twenty-one.
The squad left Amherst on the morning of May 15 ; arriving in the city they
proceeded at once to Copley Square Hotel. The drill took place in Mechanics*
Hall, the hall being well filled with an appreciative and fashionable audience.
Wellesley, Lassell, and Radcliff were well represented, each occupying a section
set apart for them. The platform was occupied by the Governor and staff, the
Faculty, and many prominent members of the Alumni.
114
The programme opened with a dress parade ; Brown and Tech. being repre-
sented by their entire battalions, Harvard and M, A. C. by squads. Following
the parade the floor was cleared and the individual prize squads from each col-
lege assembled. M. A. C. was represented by the following men : First Lieut.
Marshall, First Sergeant Kramer, Sergeants Emrich, Drew, Smith ; Corporals
Norton, Pejers, Warden, Montgomery ; and Privates Eaton, Beaman, and E. M.
Wright.
After a few minutes of drilling in the manual of arms the men were marched
out and a dozen dropped. The remainder then came in for the bayonet exer-
cise. In this the training of the M. A. C. men began to show, especially in the
combined movements. After going through the scheduled list of commands
several times, but four men remained ; one each from Harvard and Tech. and two
from M. A. C. Ten minutes of continuous drilling, and the four left the hall to
await the decision of the judges. A short delay followed, after which the judges
announced First Lieutenant Corse, of M. I. T., winner of the gold medal, and
First Sergeant A. M. Kramer, of M. A. C, of the silver medal.
After the individual drill Brown and Tech. had a competitive battalion drill.
This was very long and uninteresting, many of the spectators leaving the hall
before it was over. The battalion prize, a flag, was awarded to Tech.
For the last time the Cadets were marched in, forming three sides of a square.
Lieutenant-Governor Wolcott and stafi: was stationed in the centre, and as soon as
quiet was restored he announced the decision of the judges and presented the
medals to the individual men, and the prize flag to the M. L T. Battalion. The
hall was then cleared, and dancing was in order until taps was sounded.
"S
i^lue i/iapids Surprise*
O O
" To-morrow, then, at one, girls ! Now don't keep us waiting ; Nell and Eva
will see to everything for ." {Suppressed giggles.)
Blue Rapids was decorated in a gorgeous manner. A triumphal arch over-
hung the broad street. The State House and the Public Library had been
turned into a veritable flower garden, while on the common the parade ground
was as fresh and green as skill and nature could make it.
The Winnona College Corps of Cadets were to hold their annual Field Day,
and prizes had been offered to the three companies that should make the most
points out of a possible hundred.
The next day a long column of cadets passed in review before the Governor.
First came the Colonel and his staff, followed by the band. Behind the band
three battalions marched in lines of platoons, each headed by its Major with his
staff. As the column marched by, each Captain brought his company to carry
arms, and every officer saluted.
By the arch stood Nell and Eva. On each side of the line rosy-cheeked
girls were applauding the skill of the young soldiers. No company came to
carry arms as the regiment passed through, yet many an eye was not to the
front, and some of the officers, I am afraid, saluted. They were the Clyde
College girls from over the river.
The twelfth and last company was just completing its movements amidst
deafening applause, when some one was seen to step up to the judges and enter
into conversation with them. The noise ceased; evidently something was
wrong. The stranger was a tall, military gentleman ; his hair was white, and it
was observed that he carried a scar on his cheek. He talked quietly, yet firmly.
Finally one of the judges made a sign, saying, " Colonel Dean requests that
ii6
he may be allowed to enter a company to compete for the prizes which have
been offered, stating that they are a company from a near-by college, where,
knowing the high standing of the Winnona Cadets, they are anxious to try their
skill against them. He believes he has the right to compete, for the individual
who offers the prizes distinctly states that three prizes will be presented to the
three best companies competing before Capt. Lowery, Capt. Hursh, and Lieut.
Wilson, judges, no particular companies being specified. Though the request is
peculiar, in view of the circumstances we have consented to his request."
At that moment a drum sounded, and into the common, through the further
gate, a company wheeled ; across it came on the double time, passed the
battalions standing at ease, and halted before the white-haired Colonel. Then
such a cheer went up from the crowd and from the battalions ! It must have
pleased the old man, for he smiled as he gave his last word to Capt. Nell Newell,
and her first lieutenant, Eva Frowe.
It was the crack company of the Clyde Battalion from over the river. The
girls had arranged it all and had won over the old colonel, who was so strict,
and swore if they chewed gum.
Well ! the prizes were awarded ! First prize, Capt. Nell Newell ; second prize,
Co. B., Capt. Paul Munford ; third prize, Co. M., Capt. Alexander Clinton.
That night there was a grand ball at Clyde College and all of the Winnona
officers were present.
Capt. Paul Munford danced with Miss Nell Newell, and Capt. Alexander
Clinton with Miss Eva Frowe, and the old colonel laughed.

ONCE, 't is said, that naughty boy.
Sweet Cupid, seeking to destroy
The peace of cold Minerva's heart,
Did make, with every cunning art,
A 'witching lane,
A lovely lane,
The first and fairest Lover's Lane.
And failing there, but not downcast.
With every snare he followed fast.
And e'en on earth the goddess staid
He still pursues, 'neath learned shade
Of some fair lane,
In Wisdom's fane.
Some most beguiling Lover's Lane.
Thus every college has its lane.
With mem'ries filled with joy and pain ;
But none, though very Eden's bowers,
Can in our hearts e'er rival ours, —
Our Lover's Lane,
Dear Lover's Lane,
The good old Amherst Lover's Lane.
124
What happy days the name recalls
To those long gone from " Aggie's " halls !
What long, bright dreams of coming days
In young hearts, when the moon's soft rays
Shone down the lane,
Our Lover's Lane,
The old, traditional Lover's Lane !
How callow Freshmen long to take
Sweet maids they know to walk, and make
Their eyes grow large, their fair cheeks glow
With wondrous tales of long ago
In that same lane,
That Lover's Lane,
On soft spring days in Lover's Lane.
Even when Wisdom gains control
And seres our hearts, we love to stroll
Beneath its shade, and breathe a sigh
When we at length must say good-bye
To Lover's Lane,
Green Lover's Lane,
Familiar, storied Lover's Lane.

f^evicu; of the Year.
HE past year has been an eventful period in the history of our col-
lege. The Two Years' Course, which was tried as an experiment,
proved to be a failure, and has been discontinued by the Trustees.
It is believed that this course has been, in a measure, the cause of
the college having so few students during the last three years.
Already we can see an improvement, and we believe that within a few years
" Aggie " will have the large number of students which a college with its facilities
should have.
During the winter term a very successful dairy school was conducted under
the direction of Prof. Michels, of the Wisconsin Dairy School. This will be in
operation during the coming winter term, and, together with the short winter
course, which is offered for the first time this year, gives an opportunity for
an agricultural education that is surpassed by no other college in the country.
The usual petitions were made for Junior electives, but with no success.
The object of this college is to give a good general education that will be a foun-
dation for any kind of business, but in these days when specialists are in such
demand in all departments of business, we believe a man can get the most good
out of his college course when the last two years, at least, are elective. We hope
the present Sophomore class will do all in its power to obtain this much-needed
improvement.
The College Catalogue made its appearance later than usual. Although it
is not considered a great success from the undergraduates' point of view, still it
contains much valuable information for the farmers of the State. It is hoped
that in the future we shall have a catalogue that will contain a more extended
account of the educational advantages offered at " Aggie."
Last winter term the Faculty adopted a rule requiring all students to attain
a mark of sixty-five in examinations, but later abolished it in response to a peti-
tion from the two upper classes. The new rule was directly contrary to the
principles of the popular eighty-five exemption grade, and also encouraged cram-
ing just before examinations. A man's daily work during the term should effect
his standing to a greater extent than an examination of two hours. The prompt-
ness with which the Faculty treated the matter is evidence of their fairness and
of their interest in the students' welfare.
In the summer vacation several improvements were made around college.
A large addition has been built on to the Hatch Experiment Station, thus greatly
increasing the usefulness of that department. The rooms in the college dormi-
tories were papered and varnished, making them look brighter and more comfort-
able. Improvements of this sort show the desire of the authorities to make
college life as pleasant as possible, and are always appreciated by the students.
The Aggie Life was obliged to suspend publication for two or three issues
during the spring term, owing to lack of support from its regular subscribers.
Is is hoped that those subscribers who take an interest in the success of the col-
lege will not allow this to happen again.
One of the new men who is getting a secure hold in the students' good- will
is Mr. Wallace, the college electrician. During his connection with the college
he has introduced many little conveniences which are greatly appreciated by the
students.
\An important event of the year has been the forming of an Athletic Com-
mittee, consisting of three members each from the Students, Faculty, and
Alumni. This arrangement is satisfactory to all concerned, and it is expected
will help to further the athletic interests of the college^
Lieut. Walter M. Dickinson, his term of office having expired, left the com-
mand here last June and joined his regiment at Columbus, Ohio. Lieut. W. M.
Wright, the present commandant, has already won the respect of the Cadets.
Lieut. Wright is a strict disciplinarian, and we are confident will maintain the
usual high standard of our battalion.
Altogether the year has been a very successful one, and with an increased
number of students we may look for still greater success during the coming year.

HIS issue of the College Annual, the Index, is published by the
smallest class that has entered the M. A. C. during the last ten
years. In view of this fact we feel justified in saying that, in pre-
senting this book to the students and alumni, we have probably
overcome as many obstacles as did any of our predecessors. We
have tried to maintain the high standard set by former Boards ; with what suc-
cess we have met we leave to the decision of our readers. We trust that no one
mentioned in these papers will consider anything he may read about himself as
personal, because if we are to be funny, as of course we are expected to be, we
must have somebody to write about ; so we hope if any one is not amused with
what he sees concerning himself, he may like better what he reads about the
" other fellow."
We have devoted a few pages here to editorials, expressing not so much the
ideas of the editors as the ideas of the students in general.
Forty-six years ago the idea of this institution was conceived. Born of the
thought of such men as Webster, Edward Everett, Gov. Briggs, Horace Mann,
and Josiah Quincy, its destiny, it would seem, should be ever bright. But ah !
these men little knew of the warfare that public opinion was to wage against the
scientific investigations that they so early saw necessary.
To-day, let us ask whether this opposition has ever ceased. We do not mean
to say that it is violent in its nature, but we do mean to say that the citizens of
Massachusetts, by their silent contempt, injure this college far more than it was
injured in the old days when public feeling was so bitterly opposed to book-
learning in farming.
Let us go back. In 1850 the first bill for the establishment of a State institu-
tion or agricultural college was before the Legislature, but public opinion was so
strong against the measure that not until Morrill's bill was introduced in Con
gress, twelve years later, could the public acquiesce in a measure they had
139
believed to be ridiculous and absurd. After Morrill's land grant many of the
States founded State universities, at which was located the college of mechanic
arts and scientific agriculture.
Massachusetts had for years been endeavoring to establish a school of agri-
culture ; but not until after the war was the start made, then it was deemed
desirable that the two schools of Massachusetts be separated. Thus it was that
Massachusetts located her Agricultural College at Amherst.
It is not necessary to dwell on the trials and hardships encountered, nor need
we comment on the bitter sarcasm with which the press throughout Massachu-
setts strove to injure the cause ; suffice it to say, here stands the college to-day.
Is it what its founders meant it to be ? Massachusetts has done almost every-
thing in her power to support her Agricultural College ; she has furnished
opportunities for learning surpassed bj' no other college of its kind ; she has
been liberal beyond measure in her generous offers of scholarships, and in her
beneficence and liberality she has provided a working fund to assist her sons in
obtaining an education ; and yet, notwithstanding all this, we find public
opinion, or what we are pleased to call public opinion, withholding its support.
Why is it that the fathers of this Commonwealth will not send their children
here ? We ask the reason why ? There must be some fundamental reason.
Massachusetts is not turning off her thousands of children without educating
them. They go somewhere ! Yet, how few are sent here ! The question is
asked, is the college known ? Yes, more or less. Then, why is it ? Let us look
at some of our sister colleges. How does the agricultural department compare
with the scientific in them ? In every case the scientific is far more prominent.
Careful investigation of the past and present leads us to conclude that when
the name Massachusetts Agricultural College was given, a mistake was made ;
and further, we would add, that public opinion never has supplied and never will
supply enough encouragement to justify the continuance of a strictly agricultural
college.
It may be urged that the excellence of any educational institution does not
depend upon a large number of students. This we grant ; and still, the friends
of the college are well satisfied that there are many Massachusetts boys who
desire an education and yet are not looking to the Agricultural College as their
future Alma Mate?-. Why is this so ? Is it not because the name of the college
is misleading ? And if the difficulty does not lie in the name, where does it lie ?
Certainly not in its educational advantages, certainly not in the opportunities
that it offers.
140
There have been in the college, on an average, thirty students per class, let
us say. We think it will be found we are not putting the number high, when we
say that hardly ten students in each of those classes have chosen farming as
their life work.
Is it one of our American doctrines that one third of the constituency of an
institution should give it its name, while two thirds stand passively by and have
no voice whatever ?
Why not, then, name this the Massachusetts State College, extending the cur-
riculum on broader lines, providing agriculture but as an elective, and thus
opening the way for a " boom " at "Aggie."
You say this is taking away a right from the farmers of Massachusetts. We
say the farmers have had forty-six years' enjoyment of a good, big right, and no
doubt it will be a thousand and forty years before they know they have lost it.
It is fitting that our College Gymnasium should receive notice in these
columns. There seems to be an erroneous idea anjong some of the college au-
thorities that military drill takes the place of a gymnasium. Nothing could be
more misleading than this. Any one who will for a moment compare drill with
good systematic gymnasium exercise under a competent instructor, can readily
see that each has a distinct bearing on a student's physical development. To
be sure drill does give some exercise, but does it in any way train a man so that
he can become a successful athlete, a football or a base-ball player ? Most as-
suredly it does not. Every season there is a great deal of dissatisfaction ex-
pressed among the student body and also among the alumni, because our college
teams are not more successful. Now we respectfully ask those who have the
oversight of this institution if it is reasonable to expect that men who have had
absolutely no training whatever can hope to win in any athletic contests with
colleges that have the advantage of good gymnasiums. Even if we could not
have a physical instructor for the entire year, it would be especially desirable to
have one during the winter term.
There is absolutely no incentive for a man to try for any team here at " Aggie."
In the first place, he is almost certain that he will play on a losing team, and
again, as we have no gymnasium or trainer, it is very discouraging for any one
to have to play, knowing that his strength and his knowledge of the game are
much inferior to what they would be under proper training.
141
We know that there are many of the Faculty who are heartily in favor of giving
us a physical instructor, and were it in the power of these gentlemen to do so we
should have had one long before now.
We do not wish it to be understood tliat we desire the Faculty or the Alumni
to furnish us with this necessity, for we believe the time has now come when the
State should give this college that which nearly every college in the land con-
siders one of its most important courses.
Several years ago an athletic field was laid out, but very little was done
towards putting it in shape until this year. We are glad to see the work going
on, but still it is not progressing as rapidly as we should like to see it. Now that
a College Athletic Committee has been elected, we would suggest that one of
the first duties of this committee will be to see that " Aggie " has an athletic field
worthy of the name.
We hope that this year when the list of appropriations for the college is
being made out, that the authorities will deem it advisable to ask for a suitable
appropriation from the State in order that the students of the Massachusetts
State College may have proper physical instruction.
A NEW intercollegiate contest was added to our list the last year. Although
somewhat different from the athletic sports it became popular at once, and if
we may judge from the interest taken in it, it has surely come to stay.
In all colleges of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts the military department has
occupied a prominent position. M. A. C. is no exception to this rule, for when-
ever our battalion has appeared before the public, whether in Amherst at Com-
mencement time, or at Boston in individual drill, we have always won respect and
admiration.
Last year's Intercollegiate Drill was but an experiment. We hope to see it
become an annual event. Why could not all the colleges in New England meet
at least once a year for this purpose ? It would certainly bring the colleges
into closer touch with each other, and be of mutual benefit to all.
Three years ago the first class in the two years' course entered "Aggie," num-
bering twenty-two men. Since then there have been two other classes number-
ing twenty-one and eighteen. The first two classes graduated thirteen and nine
men respectively, while the class that is to graduate this year contains only six
142
members. You can draw your own surmises as to the small proportion of those
entering who were graduated. Does this look as though it were worth while to
keep up this course, at considerable expense, for the sake of so few who are
willing to take advantage of its opportunities ? We think the trustees must have
realized this when they decided to discontinue it this year.
Ever since the course was established it has been difficult to learn the exact
position it held in the college. One day they were the bona fide members of the
M. A. C, and the next, they belonged to the Wilder School of Agriculture. At
first the members were practically considered a part of the Freshman class, and
assisted that class in its athletic sports. This arrangement, however, proved
unsatisfactory, and they have since organized as separate classes.
The course injured the college by taking men into its ranks, who might, after
another year of preparation, have entered the regular course. In fact, it has
been these very men who have kept its standard up to somewhere near where it
should be. The great majority of its members have been far below the average
in ability and scholarship.
So, having been tried as an experiment and proved a failure, we congratulate
the trustees on their wisdom and foresight in abolishing it.
Last winter there was a special course in dairying given at the college, under
the instruction of Prof. Michels, of the Wisconsin Dairying School, which was
very successful. This year the trustees have arranged a set of short winter
courses of eleven weeks, in agriculture, dairying, horticulture, botany, chem-
istry, and zoology. We believe that the outlook is favorable for a large attend-
ance, for there have been many applications already received. We think that
these courses will be of considerable aid to the college, if it be in no other way
than to advertise its many advantages and opportunities. Of course this is all
conjecture, and these courses must necessarily be an experiment in a measure,
like the two years' course. However, there can be no question as to their exact
standing with the college. They are simply auxiliary courses offered by the
State for the benefit of those people who wish to acquire a knowledge of those
sciences. They form no part of the college ; they lead to no degree, and are
simply located here for convenience.
It is perhaps not out of place to say a few words here in behalf of our
College publications, especially the Aggie Life. All the alumni of the M. A. C.
143
know, or at least they should know, that during the past year the Aggie Life
was obliged to suspend publication for a time, owing to lack of support from the
alumni. The list of subscribers for the Life has greatly increased in the last
few years, but the list of loyal alumni who pay their subscriptions still remains
about as small as when the paper was first started.
Our publications cannot be supported wholly by advertising. The Aggie
Life has a larger list of advertisers than many similar publications of colleges
twice the size of ours, but still, in order that the paper may be self-supporting,
subscriptions must be paid.
One of our most learned professors says : "A college lives in its children,"
and as we have been told that the alumni of the M. A. C. are very loyal to their
Alma Mater, we have naturally concluded that they, in their busy lives, have
simply been thoughtless.
It is a fact not generally known, perhaps, except to former business man-
agers of M. A. C. publications, that the men who were graduated in the early
classes are the ones who give " Aggie" the most loyal support. We know of
no good reason why this should be so, but the fact remains that it is ; so the
only thing we can do is to hope that our younger alumni may become aware of
their duty to their Alma Mater before it is too late.
For the benefit of those who do not know, we would say that publishing a
paper at "Aggie " to-day is different from what it was when the college had double
the number of students. If the alumni would take the trouble to inquire about
the actual number of students at present enrolled here, they would perhaps better
understand the condition of things. We do not wish to be considered as com-
plaining, or giving advice, or anything of the sort, still, as the learned professor
above quoted says: "We must have facts," "Facts are what we want." Now,
gentlemen, these words are facts, and we give them simply to show you that we
need your most hearty support, both financial and otherwise, in order to present
to you in the future, publications equal to those you have been accustomed to
see in the past.

I^AAST to its end the lingering year draws near,
X Turning bright Autumn into Winter drear ;
And back to boyhood now our minds with pride
Turn to our college home this Christmas tide.
Could we but see again those faces long grown dear,
Scattered upon life's pathway far and near ;
Where duty calls each one upon his way,
There beats a heart in sympathy to-day.
Back for a moment turn each heart and mind,
Back to those happy years left long behind ;
Back to old "Aggie's" doors, and let us stand
In spirit, at least, the old united band.
The purple clouds their silver linings show.
And tinged with gold rolls every wave below ;
Here sadly we behold the fading light,
And o'er the distant mountains lose our sight.

To THE '98 Index Board,
Dear Sirs : — Realizing the fact that it is not proper for a Freshman to
give advice to a Senior, yet taking into consideration that the Juniors have
been busy lielping '97 straigliten out their car-fare problem, I beg leave to
offer a suggestion.
It is a wise step to appoint as chairman of the Freshman first class meet-
ing a member of the Junior class. But it is reasonable to presume that by
the beginning of the Sophomore year the spirit of independence and self-
reliance is sufficiently developed to warrant the removal of upper class author-
ity and advice. However, it is really getting to be a matter for serious con-
sideration, whether or not the fostering care of our Senior Legislators should
not be extended to the class of '99 in her dire need.
After having rung the fire-alarm bell several times, stacked the Fresh-
men's rooms when they were away, defaced South Barracks, strung wires
across the county road, disturbed the peace at Shutesbury, " swiped " the
tongue from the bell, stolen Doc's chaise, and committed numerous other
" prep " school tricks, we think it time to call a halt. Do we overlook these
things because they are committed by Sophomores ? Ought not the Seniors to
be the first to condemn such acts of rowdyism ? Let us then rise as one
man and stamp out the spirit of vandalism that has recently crept into the
Sophomore Class.
Respectfully,
A Freshman.

IT IS A THOROUGH REVISION OF THE UNABRIDGED,
The purpose of whicli has been not display nor the provision of materia 1 for boastful
and showy advertisement, but the due, judicious, scholarly, thorough perfecting of a
work whicti in all the stages of its growth has obtained in an equal degree the favor
and confidence of scholars and of the general public.
IT IS THE BEST FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES, BECAUSE
Words are easily found * ** Pronunciation is easily ascertained.
Meanings are easily learned * * * The growth of words easily traced,
and because excellence of quality rather than superfluity of quantity char=
acterizes its every department. * * * GET THE BEST.

A rare chance to obtain a liberal and thoroughly practical education.
The cost has been reduced to a minimum. Tuition is free to residents of the
State. An opportunity is offered to pay a portion of expenses by work.
Three courses of study are offered : an eleven weeks^ practical coiiJ^se
in agriculture and kindred sciences; a foic?^ years' cotirse leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science ; and a graduate cotirse leading to the degree
of Master of Science.
Instruction. The courses of study as at present constituted include : — ■
1. Agriculture, theoretical and practical, stock-breeding, drainage and
irrigation, special crops.
2. Botany, including horticulture, market gardening, arboriculture, care
of greenhouses, types of cryptogamic orders, and histology.
3. Chemistry. Practice work in the laboratories, qualitative and quanti-
tative analysis, inorganic and organic.
4. Zoology, entomology, the preservation of plants from destructive in-
sects, human anatomy, physiology, and hygiene.
5. Veterinary science. The hygiene, anatomy, physiology, and diseases
of domestic animals, giving the student requisite knowledge for the care of
stock.
6. Mathematics and physics, including practical work in surveying and
road making. Meteorology in its relation to agriculture. Electrical engineer-
ing with problems, and practical work with instruments.
7. English. Care is given to the study of English language and liter-
ature, that the student may be able to understand his mother tongue, and use
it correctly and efficiently in the expression and enunciation of thought. As a
means to this and other ends, Latin may be taken as an elective in Senior year.
8. Modern languages. French and German are taught so as to give
the student means of acquiring a sufficient mastery of the languages to have
access to scientific authorities of France and Germany.
9. Political science. The course provides for instruction in political
economy, that a knowledge may be gained of those established laws of the
business world which control the market, finance, and the production and
distribution of wealth. Especial attention is given to the economics of agri-
culture. Science of government is studied, that the duties and privileges of
the citizen may be understood.
10. Military science. Instruction and drill in military tactics are
required of each student, unless physically debarred.
Advantages. Facilities for illustration include a working library of
17,123 volumes, properly classified and catalogued; the State collection of
birds, insects, reptiles, and rocks of Massachusetts, with many additions ; the
Knowlton herbarium of 10,000 species of named botanical specimens; the
1,500 species and varieties of plants and types of the vegetable kingdom,
cultivated in the Durfee plant-house ; the large collections of Amherst College
within easy access ; a farm of about 400 acres, divided between the agricultural,
horticultural, and experiment departments, embracing every variety of soil,
offering splendid opportunities for observing the application of science to
the problems of agriculture.
Worthy of especial mention are the laboratories for practical work
in chemistry, in zoology, and in botany, well equipped with essential apparatus.
A chemical laboratory for advanced students has been provided. For illustra-
tion of veterinary science a clastic model of the horse and other additions to
the museum have been secured. The Durfee plant-house has been recently
rebuilt and greatly enlarged, and a new tool-house and workshop provided for
the horticultural department. For the agricultural department, a model barn,
containing the best facilities for storage of crops, care of horses, cattle,
sheep, and swine, and management of the dairy, including also a lecture room
for instruction, is now completed.
Electives. Out of sixteen courses provided for the Senior class, four-
teen are elective, Latin and advanced English having been added during the
present year.
Expenses. Board in clubs is about $2.50 per week, and in families,
$3.00 to $5.00 ; room rent, $8.00 to $16.00 per term; fuel, $7.00 to $13.00
per year; washing, 40 to 50 cents per dozen; military suit, $15.75; books
at wholesale prices ; furniture, second-hand or new, for sale in town.
Requisites for admission to the several courses and other information
may be learned from the catalogue, to be obtained by appplication to the
President.

There used to be a shop
Where a man could buy some pop.
But there is n't any now.
A dirty kind of dive
Where the loafers used to thrive,
But it's gone.
Now you go around in vain ;
No "set ups" on the game.
O ! the way that things are run is pretty bum !
And there used to be a band
Marched and played throughout the land,
But there is n't any now.
A miscellaneous concern.
Hard its music to discern,
But it 's gone.
Now they march along the ground
While the little drum they pound.
O ! the way that things are run is pretty bum !
Sure, there used to be some privates
Of the Senior Class in tactics.
But there are n't any now.
They carried little flags
And they called themselves the wags,
But they 're gone.
Now these men are all commissioned,
Come and see their hard position.
O ! the way that things are run is pretty bum !

The Business Manager leads a life
That few would care to follow ;
Though he has his share of gall,
There 's many things to swallow.
If you had his good in mind
You could make him happier.
Trade with those who " ad." in here,
And money will be freer.
It is hard to stand on bluff
And little satisfaction :
The man who finds his "ad." of worth
Is the man that 's moved to action.
So, students, friends and classmates dear.
As a parting word I 'd say,
Don't buy your merchandise of those
Who say our "ads." don't pay.
