With  wind  and  sunshine,  rain  and  sleet, 
And  drifting  snows;    the  hours  fleet. 
Of  pleasure,   sorrow,   joy  and  care, 
Of  one  more  year  are  past  and  gone: 
Lord,  grant  that  each  his  best  hath  done. 


And  now  dear  friends,  as  thee  we  greet, 
May  this,  our  work,  approval  meet. 
For  now  we  place  it  in   thine  hands; 
Such  record  of  our  toil  and  thoughts 
As   in   its  passing  hath   been   caught.

RICHARD      SWANN     LULL

MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Richard  Swann  Lull 


MERSON  has  said:  "  The  universe  has  three  children,  born  at  one 
time — the  Knower,  the  Doer  and  the  Sayer.  These  stand  respec- 
tively for  the  love  of  Truth,  for  the  love  of  God  and  for  the  love  of 
Beauty.  Each  of  these  three  has  the  powers  of  the  others  latent  in 
him, — his  own,  patent."  To  each  man,  following  out  his  own 
instincts,  comes  the  choice  which  of  these  three  shall  be  his  inherit- 
ance. 

The  class  of  Nineteen  Hundred  Eight  has  elected  to  dedicate  this  book  to  one  who 
chose  for  his  lot  the  knowing,  the  pressing  on  to  one  field  of  research  after  another,  that 
he  might  read  what  Nature  has  written  of  her  history  upon  the  earth's  face. 

Richard  Swann  Lull  was  born  with  the  love  of  the  sea  in  his  veins,  while  in  his  father. 
Captain  Edward  Phelps  Lull,  U.  S.  N.,  he  had  a  most  illustrious  example  of  patriotism. 
With  all  the  traditions  of  his  family  calling  him  to  the  life  militant,  it  may  seem  strange  that 
Dr.  Lull  chose  rather  to  study  the  records  of  the  warfare  between  the  primal  forces  of 
creation.      Perhaps,   as  in   the   case  of  Agassiz. 

"  Nature,    the    old    nurse,    took 
The  child  upon  her  knee. 
Saying,  'Here  is  a  story  book 

The  Father  has  written  for  thee,' 

Born  in  Annapolis,  Md.  thirty-nine  years  ago.  Dr.  Lull  was  prepared  for  college 
at  the  State  Model  School,  Trenton,  N.  J.  He  entered  Rutgers  College  with  the  class 
of  1  892,  but  dropped  his  college  work  for  a  year,  to  engage  in  teaching.  Returning  to 
college,  he  elected  the  course  in  Biology,  and  was  graduated  with  the  class  of  1 893, 
receiving  the  degree  of  B.  Sc.  In  1  896,  he  took  his  Master's  degree  from  Rutgers,  and 
in   1 903,  was  awarded  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  by  Columbia. 

Following  his  graduation,  Dr.  Lull  obtained  the  appointment  of  Special  Agent  of 
the  Division  Entomology,  with  headquarters  at  the  Maryland  Experiment  Station.  Six 
months  later  he  was  appointed  Assistant  Professor  of  Zoology,  at  the  Massachusetts 
Agricultural  College,  as  well  as  Curator  of  the  Museum,  being  advanced  to  the  Associate 
Professorship  in  1 903. 


THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


During  his  career  at  this  college,  Dr.  Lull  has  steadily  pushed  forward  in  his  work 
as  an  investigator.  One  summer  was  spent  at  the  Biological  Laboratory  at  Cold  Spring 
Harbor,  while  on  the  invitation  of  the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  Dr.  Lull 
spent  two  summers  working  among  the  fossil  deposits  of  the  Bad  Lands.. 

Among  the  published  results  of  his  investigations  are — "Memoir  on  the  Fossil  Foot- 
prints of  the  Jura-trias  of  North  America;"  a  monograph  on  "The  Ceratopsia,"  (with 
J.  B.  Hatcher)  ;  articles  on  "Adaptive  Radiation  in  Vertebrates,"  published  in  the  Amer- 
ican Naturalist,  as  well  as  frequent  contributions  to  The  American  Museum  Bulletin,  The 
Journal  of  Geology,  and  others. 

In  June  of  1906,  Dr.  Lull  accepted  an  appointment  to  Yale  University  as  Assist- 
ant Professor  of  Vertebrate  Paleontology,  and  Associate  Curator  of  Vertebrate  Paleon- 
tology in  the  Peabody  Museum.  Because  of  the  wider  field,  the  greater  opportunity. 
Dr.  Lull  is  to  be  congratulated  upon  his  new  station.  Equally  should  Yale  be  congrat- 
ulated that  she  has  added  to  her  corps  of  instructors  a  man  with  whom  Massachusetts  most 
reluctantly    parts. 

To  the  quality  of  his  work  at  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College,  a  host  of 
enthusiastic  students  speak  most  eloquently.  Another  witness,  silent,  but  none  the  less 
eloquent,  may  be  found  in  the  results  of  his  curatorship  of  the  Museum.  His  influence  has 
been  felt  in  all  departments  of  college  life,  and  always  for  good.  With  a  keen  love  for 
the  out-door  life,  he  sympathized  most  heartily  with  the  athletic  interests  of  the  college, 
while  the  weight  of  his  influence  has  been  thrown  toward  clean  spcrt  and  the  love  of  the 
sport  for  itself  rather  than  as  a  means  of  self-aggrandizement. 

What  records  of  the  early  days  may  still  be  hidden  within  the  earth,  unread,  one 
cannot  know.  But  it  is  certain  that,  in  the  future  as  in  the  past.  Dr.  Lull  will  work  on 
steadily  in  the  path  that  he  has  chosen,  "Searching  Nature's  secrets  far  and  deep." 

For  what  he  has  given  the  college  through  all  his  years  of  service  here,  we  rejoice, 
to  his  career  in  the  future  we  look  with  anticipation,   and  with  all  good  wishes   for  his 


When  "through  many  a  year  his  fame  has  grown,"  we,  his  associates  at  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College,  passed  far  beyond  those  days  but  not  beyond  their 
memory,  shall  hold  in  pleasant  recollection  the  years  when  we  were  all  workers  together.

THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


Foreword 


HE    1908   INDEX   BOARD   for  the  Junior  Class  presents  this,   the 
thirty-eighth    volume    of    the    Index.      In    compiling    the    book    two 
main   objects   were   kept  in  view.      In   the   first  place,   to   make  it  a 
class  book,   a  book  to  which   the  men  of    1 908  may  turn  in   future 
days  and  find  chronicled  and  pictured  therein  the  many  happenings 
and  incidents  which  go  to  make  the  days  spent  in  college  the  hap- 
piest days  in  life.      Secondly,   to  picture,   in  a  more   general  way,   the 
life  of  the  college  as  a  whole  in  a  manner  that  will  be  pleasing  to  the  student  body,  inter- 
esting to  the  general  public,  and  iristructive  to  secondary  school  men  who  are  considering 
the  choice  of  a  college. 

If  we  have  succeeded  in  doing  these  things,  the  work  is  a  success.      The  reader  must 
decide. 

Finally,  we  earnestly  thank  every  person  who  by  thought,  word,  or  deed,  has  helped 
to  make  the  book  less  unworthy  of  "  Old  Massachusetts."

Senior  Class  History 


E  WHO  READS  the  class  histories  in  the  Index  cannot  help  being 
impressed  by  certain  features.  The  freshman  history  is  filled  with 
nervous  expectancy  and  anticipation  for  the  class  really  exists  in  the 
future.  The  Sophomore  historian  writes  with  all  the  enthusiasm 
which  the  emancipation  from  Freshman  bonds  brings  to  him  and 
the  class  which  he  represents.  The  history  of  the  Junior 
Class  outlines  those  incidents  occurring  when  it  was  a  part 
of  "the  other  half,"  and  is  characterized  by  the  dignity  of  which  plug  hats  and  corduroys 
and  canes  are  only  the  symbols.  With  the  Seniors  it  is  yet  different.  One  who  writes 
the  history  of  the  highest  class  in  college  feels  only  too  vividly  that  it  is  the  last  account 
of  his  class  which  will  appear  in  the  annual — next  year  he,  and  his  classmates,  will  be 
numbered  among  the  alumni.  The  ambitions  and  desires  of  the  freshman,  the  wise  fool- 
ishness of  the  sophomore  and  the  ostentatious  dignity  of  the  junior  roll  in  upon  him  and, 
together  with  that  large  interrogation  point  looming  above  the  horizon  whence  lieth  the 
next  commencement,  are  apt  to  tinge  his  writings  with  a  sadness  and  misanthropy  quite 
out  of  place  in  an  historical  sketch. 

Of  no  class  is  this  more  true  than  of  1907.  Three  years  ago  we  first  became  a  part 
of  that  unit  which  is  the  student-body  of  Massachusetts.  Then  we  were  filled  with 
bright  plans  for  our  coming  college  career.  The  future  stood  before  us  unrevealed,  but 
flushed  with  the  roseate  dawn  of  a  new  day.  Now,  as  our  sun  has  passed  its  meridian 
and  is  sinking  in  all  its  crimson  glory  to  illuminate  a  new  world  beyond  this  sphere,  we 
pause  a  moment  to  consider  the  work  which  we  have  accomplished  and  to  express  our 
regret  at  the  feats  which  we  have  not  achieved  and  which  must  be  left  to  our  successors. 
It  is  not  my  intention  to  describe  our  career  during  the  first  two  years  in  college  for 
my  predecessors  have  ably  performed  that  task.  Our  records  during  the  constructive  age 
as  freshmen  and  the  destructive  age  as  sophomores  are  given  indelibly  on  the  pages  of  the 
Index.  Rather  is  it  my  task  to  recount  our  experiences  as  juniors  during  the  past  year. 
We  found  an  interesting  and  willing  class  waiting  last  fall  to  be  inducted  into  college 
life  and,  thanks  to  "Shorty"  and  other  members  of  our  victorious  rope-pull  teams,  '09  easily 
defeated  their  opponents  in  the  tug-of-war.  Besides  guiding  the  freshmen  in  the  right 
paths  we  got  out  our  Index  and  is  not  that  a  sufficiently  difficult  task  for  one  year?  One 
or  two  disappointments  awaited  us  as  juniors.  The  greatest  of  these  was  the  failure  of 
Tabby's  renowned  Chemical  Trip  to  materialize.  Anxiously  we  awaited  the  visit  to  the 
pulp  mills  and  breweries,  down  the  river,  but  in  vain.     To  make  up  for  this  there  was  the 


THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


banquet  tended,  to  us,  by  09,  in  New  York  City,  an  entirely  unsurpassed  affair  for 
the  junior  year.  Truly  volumes  might  be  written  of  it,  how  many  of  our  staid  classmates 
from  Abe  down  to  Chimmie  and  Chauncey  flew  off  on  a  tangent,  in  the  big  city — but  let 
us  charitably  draw  the  curtain  upon  that  never-to-be-forgotten  episode  of  our  college  life. 
And  so  our  junior  year  rapidly  passed.  We  waded  through  Seager  in  Political 
Economy  and  most  of  us  skidded  through  the  Kid's  course  in  Mineralogy  on  averages  of 
65  and  70.  This  fall  when  we  strolled  down  to  the  bald-headed  row  m  chapel  we 
found  three  more  of  our  bunch  numbered  among  the  "unreturning  brave."  And  thus  it 
is  that  from  sixty-six,  we  have  diminished  to  twenty-five  in  number.  Our  freshman  his- 
torian prophetically  said: — "Watch  us  grow  not  in  numbers  but  in  strength."  The 
intricacies  of  the  course  of  study  in  the  first  two  years  have  entangled  many  of  our  number 
and  the  mastery  of  the  physics  course  was  accomplished  by  some  of  us,  only  as  the  whistle 
blew  for  the  last  time.  But  this  veritable  "survival  of  the  unlike"  has  moulded  us  into 
a  class  which  is  unexcelled  for  its  spirit  and  loyalty  to  self  and  college.  For  the  last 
time,  the  snows  of  winter  are  falling  on  the  hills  to  the  westward,  and  ere  "the  orb  of  day" 
has  completed  another  cycle  of  the  seasons  we  shall  have  passed  beyond.  If,  however, 
"the  good  that  men  do  lives  after  them,"  the  fame  and  the  honor  of  '07  will  continue 
through  the  years  as  a  tradition,  even  though  the  class  is  no  longer  enrolled  on  the  books 
of  the  college.  And,  in  closing,  it  only  remains  to  express  what  has  been  the  sentiment 
of   1907  from  the  beginning,  is  now  and  forever  shall  be: 

"All  up  for  dear,  Old  Bay  State,  ring  out  the  tune. 
Loyal  forever  to  the  white  and  maroon."

THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Junior  Class  History 


WAS  MOONLIGHT.  My  restless  spirit  was  seeking  for  some 
quieting  influence,  and  I  went  out  into  the  open,  skirting  the  college 
buildings,  and  going  up  through  Lover's  Lane  to  Mt.  Pleasant, 
where  I  seated  myself  upon  a  decaying  stump,  to  contemplate,  and 
drink  in  the  beauties  of  the  evening.  I  fell  to  thinking  of  the  college 
which  lay  below  me,  the  m.any  events  which  flashed  through  my  mind 
seeming  to  tumble  on  each  other's  heels  as  did  those  rolling  clouds 
above,  swiftly  and  silently  streaming  across  the  heavens,  the  pale  moonlight  lighting  now 
and  then  their  turbid  forms  with  a  glorious  radiance.  And  those  thoughts  which  were 
most  illuminated  in  my  mind  were  of  the  class  which  honored  me  with  her  name,  the 
class  of  1908.  It  seemed  to  me  that  at  least  a  part  of  the  history  of  that  college  was 
the  shadow  of  the  history  of  that  class,  just  as  the  fleeting  forms  which  raced  across  the 
earth  beneath  were  shadows  of  those  clouds  which  pursued  above.  And  I  fell  to  watching 
those  shadows  as  they  sped  along,  noticing  the  fantastic  forms  as  they  hastened  away 
forever.  The  Chapel  stood  dim  and  majestic  in  the  fickle  light,  and  at  its  feet  lay  in 
perfect  tranquility  the  College  Pond,  dark  and  forbidding. 

Suddenly  the  moon  burst  clear  of  the  tumultuous  clouds,  and  threw  a  beautiful 
light  across  the  dark  form  of  the  Chapel,  illuminating  it  as  some  huge  panoramic  screen. 
And,  as  the  Clouds  broke  in  again  upon  the  victorious  moon,  small  shadows  flitted  across 
the  front  of  the  Chapel,  and  I  seemed  to  see  written  there  the  words  "Massachusetts  1908." 
A  light  shadow  sped  across  the  screen,  followed  by  a  picture  of  the  Chapel,  with  doors 
flung  wide  open  and  many  forms  streaming  out  like  a  river  of  life.  I  saw  the  four 
classes  as  they  issued  forth,  last  of  all  coming  the  hesitating,  uncertain  freshmen,  numbering 
almost  as  many  as  the  other  three  classes  together.  And  as  I  looked,  I  recognized  my 
worthy  class-mates,  friends  who  have  stood  the  test  well,  and  still  go  in  and  out  of  those 
Chapel  doors,  just  as  on  that  first  morning  of  college. 

Scarce  had  this  picture  been  thrown  upon  the  screen  when  a  huge  dark  cloud  wiped 
it  away,  leaving  all  in  a  threating  and  murky  silence.  The  clock  pealed  twelve,  and  im- 
mediately a  flash  of  escaping  light  revealed  a  picture  of  the  midnight  campus,  with 
dim  forms  gathered  in  breathless  awaiting  at  either  end.  The  flash  of  a  pistol,  a  sharp 
report,  and  the  two  bodies  of  beings  were  hurled  at  each  other  in  dim  confusion,  swaying 
hither  and  thither,  but  always  pushing  towards  the  South,  showing  that  those  who  came 
from  the  North  were  superior  in  the  dark  conflict. 


36  '  THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVIII 


Another  pause,  and  then  a  series  of  scenes  revealed  the  freshmen  practicing  for 
the  rope-pull  upon  the  hill,  with  anxious  sentinels  standing  guard,  and  a  dim  figure  on 
horse-back  skirting  the  ever  watchful  company  in  vain  endeavor.  Another  threatening 
cloud,  followed  by  a  flash  of  angry  light,  and,  there  was  pictured  a  band  of  disappointed 
sophomores  as  they  retreated  from  the  fatal  hill,  gently  bearing  the  battered  form  of  our 
friend  on  horse-back.  This  was  closely  followed  by  a  view  of  the  campus,  with  happy 
sophomores  bearing  away  the  pieces  of  a  well-fought-for  rope,  and  disappointed  fresh- 
men dispersing  to  their  rooms  in  grim  silence. 

Then  again  the  dark  shadows  of  the  clouds  chased  across  the  scene,  revealing  here 
and  there  glimpses  of  '07  in  midnight  gatherings  at  the  edge  of  the  pond,  or  by  the 
reservoir  on  the  hill,  watching  intently  the  forced  antics  of  frightened  freshmen.  Another 
stream  of  light  revealed  the  gridiron,  with  '07  and  '08  lined  up  against  each  other,  and 
'07's  set  of  backs  making  those  gains  which  finally  resulted  in  victory.  These  were 
dark  scenes,  joyless  and  sorrowful,  and  yet  through  them  all  '08  seemed  to  be  drawn  still 
closer  with  the  ties  of  class  spirit  and  enthusiasm.  And  now  burst  upon  the  screen  a  flood 
of  joyous  light.  The  scene  showed  the  Drill-hall,  and  a  hard  fought  game  of  basket-ball, 
with  the  joyous  freshmen  victorious,  and  lighting  for  the  first  time  on  the  campus  ttieii 
pipes  in  token  of  victory, — glorious  victory. 

Again  the  scene  was  long  delayed,  revealing  only  here  and  there  the  studious 
freshmen  poring  over  French  and  Math,  with  the  grim  and  threatening  figures  of  Johnny 
and  Billy  plotting  in  the  back-ground.  But  in  vain  they  plotted  and  schemed,  for  '08 
wouldn  not  be  stuck.  The  time  slipped  rapidly  by  until  June,  and  then  came  the  base- 
ball, with  '08  again  victorious,  and  '07  defeated  in  her  last  class  game. 

The  Chapel  doors  again  swung  open  after  a  long  period  of  darkness,  and  I  knew 
that  another  college  year  had  begun,  and  1  908  were  sophomores,  gay  and  happy  in  their 
condescending  toleration  of  a  new  freshman  class,  1  909.  The  scene  rapidly  changed  to 
one  of  the  campus,  with  again  a  body  of  beings  at  either  end,  but  this  time  the  conflict 
was  illuminated  by  the  bright  sun.  A  pole  stood  in  the  middle  of  the  field,  seeming  to  be 
the  goal  of  ambition  of  both  sides.  A  signal,  and  the  contest  was  on,  hard  and  fierce,  but 
with  '08  victorious — over-whelmingly  victorious.  Then  another  dark  shadow  crossed  the 
screen,  revealing  '08  going  down  in  defeat  before  the  well-trained  rope-pull  team  of  '09. 
Meanwhile,  the  scurrying  shadows  revealed  glimpses  of  the  "Widows,"  the  pond,  the 
reservoir,  and  many  a  dark  and  terrible  path  trodden  by  quaking  and  fearful  freshmen, 
unable  to  get  together  in  class  unity  and  endeavor.  A  flash  revealed  the  gridiron  again, 
with  '08  bearing  off  on  their  shoulders  a  victorious  team.  Another  flash,  and  the  Drill- 
hall  rang  with  cheers  of  '08  victorious  in  basket-ball,  while  creeping  through  the  door 
in  abject  disappointment  was  the  class  of  '09,  with  '07  close  at  their  heels.     Still  another 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


burst  of  light,  and  again  the  base-ball  diamond  was  lined  with  hilarious  men  of  '08,  win- 
ning the  last  of  their  series  of  class  games. 

A  second  pause  in  the  panoramic  scenes,  and  the  dark  shadows  brushing  away 
revealed  '08  as  juniors,  staid  upperclassmen,  doing  their  share  in  the  advancement  and 
government  of  college  affairs.  The  scenes  flitted  across  peaceful  days,  days  full  of  joy 
and  accomplishment,  days  when  the  class  stood  as  one  man  for  all  that  was  noble  and 
best  in  the  college  life,  free  from  the  least  taint  of  dissention,  striving  for  that  goal  which 
at  last  seemed  within  reach — the  completion  of  a  college  course.  And  then  the  moon  burst 
forth  in  unrestrained  splendor,  its  beautiful  refulgence  lighting  that  panorama  of  1 908 
with  a  glorious  promise  of  success  and  fulfillment.

MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Sophomore  Class  History 

NCE  AGAIN  the  march  of  Father  Time  and  his  ever  increas- 
ing band  of  warriors  halts  us  in  our  onward  march,  and  as 
we  pause  and  look  back  upon  the  events  of  our  Freshman 
year  and  forward  to  the  duties  which  are  detailed  to  us  as 
Sophomores  we  feel,  for  the  first  time,  that  our  efforts  as 
members  of  the  undergraduate  body  have  not  been  entirely 
in  vain. 
Our  record  in  athletics  during  our  freshman  year  was  an  enviable  one.  After 
giving  the  sophomores  a  merry  tussle  in  the  "  pole-rush,"  our  efforts  were  concentrated  on 
the  rope-pull,  which  we  won  decisively,  to  the  unbounded  delight  of  our  1  907  instructors. 
The  foot-ball  game  was  a  hard  proposition  with  us,  as  we  had  several  men  debarred  from 
playing  by  the  rule  of  the  senate  which  states  that  no  "M"  men  shall  participate  in  class 
foot-ball,  but,  nevertheless,  our  opponents  scored  but  once  and  then  only  in  the  last  minute 
of  play.  The  basket-ball  game  was  truly  an  exciting  affair  and,  although  we  had  two 
'varsity  men,  1 908  had  three  and  we  were  beaten  only  after  a  plucky  fight. 

As  the  fierce,  icy  grip  of  Winter  relented,  we  began  to  think  about  a  banquet  and, 
notwithstanding  the  extreme  care  with  which  we  were  watched  during  our  allotted  time 
given  by  the  senate,  we  slipped  cut  of  town  and  made  merry  in  a  highly  successful  banquet. 
The  period  immediately  following  this  was  marked  by  1 908's  persistent  efforts  to 
gave  swimming  lessons  to  members  of  our  class  at  unseemingly  hours  of  the  morn,  and  this 
was  so  strenuously  opposed  by  1 909  that  we  retaliated  one  warm  night  in  June  and 
1  908's  efforts  to  quell  our  means  of  retahation  resulted  in  an  historic  encounter  over  near 
the  Drill  Hall. 

The  base-ball  game  coming  just  before  Commencement  was  generously  conceded  by 
us,  after  a  magnificent  exhibition  of  the  great  American  game  by  a  score  of  3  to  1 . 

Returnmg  to  college  for  our  sophomore  year  we  were  appalled  at  the  losses  sustained 
in  our  ranks.  Of  the  ninety-one  who  responded  to  the  first  roll-call,  but  a  scant  sixty 
returned  to  uphold  the  prestige  of  1  909. 

We  were  undismayed,  however,  and  in  the  new  tug-of-war  across  the  college  pond 
we  succeeded  in  dragging  1910,  bag  and  baggage,  through  its  miry  depths,  thus  initiating 
them  into  the  college  customs  in  a  fair  and  sportsmanlike  manner. 

We  also  showed  1910a  few  tricks  about  pulling  rope,  our  invincible  rope-pull  team 
taking  over  twenty  feet  of  rope  away  from  them  in  two  minutes. 

Our  policy  toward  this  latest  acquisition  to  the  ranks  of  the  student  body  is  intended 
to  be  productive  of  a  cultivation  of  college  spirit  above  all  else  and  then  indeed  will  we 
feel  that  our  mission  among  the  classes  has  been  fulfilled  and  the  maroon  and  white  of 
1  909  has  led  the  way  toward   a  new  era  in  the  college  hfe  of  old  Massachusetts.

Freshman  Class  History- 


AS  1910  A  HISTORY?  Her  history  has  scarce  begun,  and  yet 
that  which  she  has  is  worth  relating,  and  shall  be  truly  told.  Per- 
haps we  may  say  that  it  began  months  and  even  years  ago,  when 
a  kind  genius  directed  our  eyes  and  hearts  towards  "Massachusetts," 
our  grand  old  "Bay  State,"  and  we  threw  ourselves  heart  and  soul 
into  the  effort  to  become  fit  and  worthy  of  the  honor  which  she  has 
at  last  reposed  in  us.  And  then  came  the  high  school  graduation, 
the  parting  from  erstwhile  friends,  a  short  vacation,  entrance  exams,  and  then  a  new  life, 
puzzling  and  incomprehensible  at  first,  college  life. 

And  so  we  are  living  to  learn.  'Twas  not  long  after  our  advent  into  the  college 
life  that  we  were  told  of  an  approaching  contest  with  '09,  a  tug-of-war  across  the  pond. 
The  prospects  were  not  very  alluring,  and  yet  when  we  heard  of  the  pole-rush,  and  its 
predecessor,  the  campus-rush,  which  this  new  contest  was  to  replace,  w<;  indeed  appre- 
ciated the  wisdom  of  the  student  governing  body.  The  day  of  the  pull  arrived  and  '  1  0 
prepared  herself  fit  for  the  contest.  The  sophomores  had  choice  of  sides,  and  chose  wisely. 
A  false  pistol  shot  shook  our  nerves,  and  strained  our  muscles  in  eager  effort.  Then 
came  the  true  signal,  and  with  rope  pulling  taut  clear  above  the  shoulders  of  our  foremost 
men,  the  unequal  contest  began.  A  moment  of  suspense  and  the  rope  came  our  way,  and 
these  of  our  worthy  members  who  could  get  the  rope  under  their  arms  felt  a  new  tingle  of 
joy  and  hope,  and  threw  new  effort  into  the  struggle.  But  it  was  in  vain.  Slowly  the 
sophomores'  firm  hold  began  to  tell,  and  the  rope  went  back,  and  then  down  to  the  water's 
edge,  where  a  last  gritty  stand  was  made,  and  even  as  the  struggle  entered  the  water, 
not  an  instant  was  it  relaxed.  The  honors  were  '09's,  and  yet  '  1  0  claims  her  share  for 
grit  and  pluck. 

Then  came  the  regular  rope  pull,  with  its  secret  practices,  and  kindly  help  of  the 
juniors.  We  were  given  to  understand  that  the  sophomores  do  know  how  to  pull  rope, 
llhcugh  in  other  things  they  are  pretty  lame.  So  we  threw  ourselves  with  good  spirit  into 
developing  a  good  rope-pull  team,  but  an  early  challenge  cut  short  the  practices,  and 
again  '  1  0  went  down  in  defeat,  this  time  with  good  grace  before  a  fair  victory. 

It  was  at  this  time  that  '  1  O's  yell  first  rang  across  the  campus,  and  may  it  ring  many 
times  more  in  token  of  victory  and  indomitable  courage.  We  are  confident  of  winning 
the  really  important  class  contests,  football,  basketball,  and  baseball.  And  meanwhile 
we  are  doing  our  part  in  support  of  varsity  honors.  Our  heart's  ambitions  are  first  for 
our  own   "  Mass'chusetts,"   and   then   for  the  class  of    1910.

Foot  Ball 


HE  SEASON  of  1906  presents  new  features  in  the  game  of  Foot- 
Ball  at  Massachusetts.  In  the  past,  the  Dartmouth  system  of 
coaching  has  been  in  vogue.  With  the  graduate  system  of  coaching 
practiced  this  year.  Coaches  O'Hern  '04,  and  HaUigan  '03,  have 
made  but  few,  if  any,  changes.  The  new  rules,  all  through,  would 
be  to  the  advantage  of  lighter  teams,  but  as  all  our  early  games  were 
with  larger  colleges  and  heavier  teams,  which  had  not  up  to  that  time 
started  the  open  play,  our  team  of  only  1  60  lbs.  average  had  to  fight  with  indomitable 
spirit  to  hold  down  scores.  This  was  especially  true  in  the  Brown  and  Harvard  games. 
At  Harvard,  the  first  appearance  of  a  Massachusetts  team  at  the  Stadium,  the  men  played 
one  of  the  best  games  of  the  season.  In  open  play.  Burr,  the  famous  Harvard  punter, 
found  Cobb  his  superior  in  the  art,  and  in  order  to  score  Harvard  was  forced  to  open 
her  line  attack.  Here  her  heavy  men  forced  their  way  through  our  lighter  line,  though 
the  men  fought  grittily  to  the  end,  creating  a  most  favorable  impression  for  Massachusetts 
teams  and  spirit  at  Cambridge.  The  approach  of  the  game  with  Amherst  is  the  pleas- 
antest  feature  of  the  season,  and  with  her  name  once  more  upon  the  schedule,  the  student 
body  is  as  a  unft  in  spirit  and  enthusiasm. 

With  the  hardest  schedule  the  college  has  ever  played,  it  is  very  difficult  to  say 
whether  or  not  the  season  will  be  a  success  from  the  standpoint  of  victories.  The  out- 
look for  1907  is  the  brighest  in  the  history  of  the  college,  as  the  eleven  loses  but  three 
men  from  the  present  squad.  Our  alumni  need  not  fear  that  we  have  for  any  length  of 
time  succumbed  to  larger  institutions,  for  the  spirit  here,  as  ever,  seems  to  be  expressed 
in  that  stirring  song — 

Hail !   Hail !   Massachusetts, 

Loyal  and   true. 

Thy  sons  are  gathered 

To  cheer  for  you 

And  whether  victors  or  vanquished  we 

Still  we'll  be  cheering  for  M.  A.  C.

Baseball 


ROM  EVERY  standpoint  the  base-ball  season  of  1906  was  a  suc- 
cessful one.  The  secret  of  the  success  lies  in  the  facts,  that  the  team 
had,  for  a  time,  the  services  of  a  good  coach,  and  the  co-operation  of 
the  entire  student  body.  Never  before  has  the  enthusiasm  been  shown 
that  was  evident  last  Spring.  The  one  misfortune  encountered  was  the 
losing  of  the  coach's  services  so  early  in  the  season.  The  squad  had 
been  given  a  good  start  however,  and  did  justice  both  to  the  college 
and  themselves.  Although  the  percentage  of  games  won  was  no  larger  than  during  the 
previous  year,  the  general  opinion  was  that  the  team  played  a  faster  and  headier  game. 
The  majority  of  the  games  lost  were  to  larger  colleges  and  by  small  scores  so  that  no  dis- 
credit should  be  given  the  team  for  these  defeats.  The  spirit  shown  by  both  the  players 
and  student  body  all  through  the  season  was  indeed  encouraging  to  the  manager  and  Cap- 
tain. I  sincerely  hope  that  this  spirit  will  continue  to  prevail  because  it  means  much  to  the 
welfare  of  the  college.  Next  year  the  best  team  that  ever  represented  Massachusetts  will 
be  put  in  the  field.  It  will  lose  the  services  of  but  two  men  and  with  a  captain  possess- 
ing both  experience  and  ability  there  is  no  reason  why  the  team  shouldn't  keep  pace  with 
the  other  colleges.  The  principle  thing  is  the  consistent,  clean  game  so  characteristic  of 
Massachusetts  to  keep  our  college  where  she  belongs.  In  closing,  I  would  like  to  say 
that  I  consider  the  success  of  the  season  of  1 906  due  in  no  small  part  to  the  untiring 
services  of   Manager   Cutter.      Wishing   you   success   for   the   coming   season,    I    remain,

I  THE  PROSPECTS  for  a  strong  basket-ball  team  this  season  are  very 
encouraging.  With  the  whole  of  last  year's  team  back,  and  what  the 
freshman  class  will  furnish  us,  we  ought  to  turn  out  a  winning  team. 
In  past  years  the  basket-ball  team  has  drifted  through  the  season 
without  the  aid  of  a  coach,  but  this  year  the  management  hopes  to 
secure  some  one  who  will  coach  the  team  for  the  first  part  of  the 
season  at  least.  The  manager  is  arranging  some  hard  home  games, 
and  if  the  team  is  to  win  these  games  the  student  body  must  show  their  interest,  and 
promote  that  spirit  which  gives  a  team  determination. 

Because  basket-ball  has  not  been  a  popular  sport  at  M.  A.  C.  in  the  past,  it  is  no 
reason  why  we  cannot  make  it  a  drawing  card  this  season.  If  every  one  helps  the  team 
along  by  his  presence  at  the  practice  games,  or  his  persistent  work  on  the  squad,  I  am 
sure  that  basket-ball  will  become  a  thriving  branch  of  athletics. 

This  season,  practice,  in  many  cases  will  be  held  directly  after  drill,  so  there  will 
be  no  excuse  for  a  man  not  coming  out  because  he  cannot  spare  the  time.  When  the 
call  for  candidates  is  made  I  hope  that  a  large  number  will  respond.  We  want  men  out 
who  are  going  to  stay;  men  whom  we  can  depend  upon  when  the  varsity  needs  a  strong 
scrub.  Let  us  all  enter  into  this  season  with  a  new  spirit,  and  put  out  a  team  that  will 
make  Old  Massachusetts  proud.

MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Musical  Organizations 


— ' 1^ 

^^M 

^M 

OR  SEVERAL  YEARS  previous  to  last  year  our  college  has  lacked 
even  the  attempt  at  any  organized  special  music,  aside  from  the  cadet 
Band.  Last  year  in  order  to  supply  a  long  felt  need  the  Massachu- 
setts Agricultural  College  Musical  Association  was  established  and 
made  its  first  public  appearance.  The  gratifying  success  of  the  Min- 
strel show^  and  the  entertainments,  certainly  proves  that  if  this  can  be 
maintained  as  a  permanent  organization,  it  may  well  become  an  im- 
portant as  well  as  a  very  pleasant  feature  of  our  college  life. 

There  seems  to  be  a  tendency  on  the  part  of  those  who  might  make  good  to  be 
backward  about  coming  out  and  doing  what  they  can.  This  is  not  the  spirit  we  want 
to  see,  in  fact  it  is  not  the  Massachusetts  spirit  at  all.  Each  man  should  at  least  make 
the  effort  if  he  has  any  music  whatever  in  him,  for  he  can  certainly  make  someone  work 
harder  through  the  proper  spirit  of  competition.  We  need  the  earnest  support  of  all  to 
achieve  the  success  this  work  rightfully  deserves. 

To  those  who  cannot  help  us  directly  we  would  suggest  that  you  be  lenient  in  your 
judgment  and  remember  we  are  inexperienced.  Give  us  your  encouragement  and  hearty 
support  at  all  times.  As  a  new  organization  we  are  somewhat  handicapped  financially 
and  any  contributions  will  be  extremely  welcome.  But,  perhaps,  the  most  urgent  need 
of  all  and  still  the  one  least  likely  to  be  supplied  is  the  want  of  thoroughly  competent 
musical  instruction.  The  wealth  of  undeveloped  talent  we  find  here  is  a  strong  plea 
for  training  in  this  line.  The  Band  has  set  the  example  and  why  not  give  the  Orchestra, 
Mandolin  Club  and  Glee  Club  an  equally  good  opportunity?  Let  us  hope  for  some 
generous  benefactor  in  the  near  future.

THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlIl 


Sons  of  Old  Massachusetts 

Bay  State's  loyal  sons  are  we. 
In  her  praise  our  song  shall  be. 
Till  we  make  the  welkin  ring 
With  our  chorus  as  we  sing. 
With  the  tribute  that  we  bring, 
Holyoke's  hills  prolong  the  strain, 
Echoing  to  the  glad  refrain. 
And  the  gentlest  winds  proclaim 
Far  and  near  thy  peerless  fame. 
Praising   e'er   thine   honored  ^ame — 
Massachusetts  ! 

Chorus  : 
Loyal  sons  of  old  Massachusetts, 
Faithful,    sturdy   sons    and   true. 
To  our   grand   old   Alma   Mater 
Let  our   song  resound  anew. 
Cheer,  boys,  cheer,  for  old  Massachusetts, 
Give  our  college  three  times  three; 
Sons  forever  of  the  Old  Bay  State, 
Loyal   sons,    loyal   sons,    are   we  ! 

For   thy   colors   pure   and  bright. 
For  thine  own   maroon  and  white. 
Glorious  victories  we  crave. 
Symbols  of  thy  spirit  brave. 
May  they  long  in  triumph  wave! 
All  thy  sterling  worth  reveal. 
Grant    us    nobler,    manlier,    zeal. 
So  though  borne  by  Time's  command 
Far  beyond   thy  sheltering  hand. 
Still   devoted   sons   we'll   stand — 
Massachusetts  ! 
Chorus  :

Our  College  dear,  'tis  e'er  for  thee 

We  raise  on  high  our  hymn  of  praise; 

For  thee  and  thy  maroon  and  white. 

Our   own    Bay   State,    and   colors   bright. 

Our  chorus  shall  in  triumph  roll, — 
Thy    praises    be    forever    told  ! 

We  praise  the  hills  and  valleys  near 

That  watch  o'er  thee  with  their  sweet  cheer. 
Thy  sterling  worth,  thy  manly  zeal. 

Thy  willing  hands  and  hearts  of  steel. 
Thy  spirit  brave  that  knows  no  fear, — 

To  these  we  echo  back  our  cheer  ! 

Our  prayers  shall  ever  be  for  thee. 

Our  Alma  Mater,  M.  A.  C, 
The  college  of  all  others  blest. 

The  college  that  our  hearts  love  best. 
May  God's  own  blessing  rest  with  thee. 

Our   Alma    Mater,    M.    A.    C  !

Hurrah  !      Hurrah  ! 
We  shout  and  sing  as  we  march  along, 

Hurrah  !      Hurrah  !

Then  up,  boys,   up  for  the  grey  and  maroon 
Off  with  your  hats  while  we  sing  our  tune 
Now  sing,  boys,  sing  with  all  your  might  and  main.      Rah  !      Rah  ! 

Chorus :

For  Alma   Mater  bright. 
The  College  we  hold  most  dear.

THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlIl 


A  Review  of  the  Year 


E  HAVE  BEEN  admonished  not  to  put  our  "hand  to  the  plow  and 
look  back,"  yet  when  a  year  long  furrow  has  been  turned  and  we 
reach  its  end,  we  have  a  desire  to  see  how  well  we  have  done.  And 
as  the  plough-man  turns  and  notes  where  the  furrow  ran  deep  and 
true,  where  the  snag  or  stone  threw  out  the  point,  or  where  the  turf 
refused  to  turn;  so  we  shall  note  the  improvements  and  set  backs, 
and  land  marks  of  the  year. 
We  came  back  as  Sophomores  to  find  things  in  an  apparently  prosperous  condition. 
The  crops  were  bountiful,  especially  grapes  and  peaches  and  many  a  visit  was  paid  to  the 
hill  both  day  and  night  for  the  first  few  weeks.  The  new  Horticulture  building  was 
well  under  way.  The  Freshman  class  brought  in  some  good  strong  men  and  some  much 
needed  football  material. 

During  the  first  few  weeks,  numerous  entertainments  were  given  by  the  talent  of  the 
Freshman  class  in  the  old  "Hash  House."  This  blot  on  the  landscape  has  since  been 
removed  and  embryo  orators  of  future  classes  will  have  to  exercise  their  ability  elsewhere. 
So  the  autumn  wore  on  with  the  football  team  winning  now  and  then  a  game  but 
things  looked  rather  discouraging,  when,  with  a  magnificent  burst  of  enthusiasm  the 
students  made  preparation  for  the  Springfield  Training  School  game.  Right  in  the 
midst  of  this  preparation  came  what  was  perhaps  the  greatest  catastrophe  this  college 
has  ever  seen.  Waking  to  the  cry  of,  "Fire!"  we  saw  black  smoke  billowing  up  from 
the  college  barn.  Not  one  of  us  will  ever  forget  the  scenes  of  that  night.  Every  man 
worked  as  he  had  never  worked  before.  The  students  saved  a  large  part  of  the  stock 
and  some  of  the  machinery  but  it  was  heart-breaking  work  and  the  barn  which  had  been 
the  pride  of  the  state  was  down  in  an  hour.  That  was  Thursday  night  and  Saturday 
the  Student  body  almost  to  a  man  went  down  to  Springfield  and  helped  the  team  trim 
the  Training  School  by  the  best  score  we  had  ever  beaten  them. 

The  spirit  roused  for  that  game  is  with  us  yet,  manifesting  itself  in  many  ways. 
It  is  the  spirit  that  made  the  fellows  pay  double  taxes  without  growling  and  bring  the 
Athletic  Association  back  to  good  standing.  It  is  the  spirit  that  has  made  Massachusetts 
back  up  a  losing  team  as  well  as  a  winning  one.  It  is  the  spirit  that  has  made  this 
college  tackle  big  propositions  in  athletic  lines,  and  not  only  tackle  them  but  down  them, 
too. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Another  milestone  in  the  history  of  our  college  was  the  re-organization  of  the  Y.M.C. 
A.  From  a  poorly  supported,  poorly  organized  society  which  was  almost  a  standing  joke  to 
many  students  it  has  become  a  powerful  influence  here.  Almost  simultaneous  with  this 
movement,  and  somewhat  connected  with  it,  came  the  revival  of  the  musical  clubs.  This 
phase  of  college  life  had  been  pracrically  dead,  but  we  hope  now  to  have  a  musicale  once 
in  a  while  to  distract  our  attention  from  our  over-studied  books. 

The  informals  through  the  year  have  been  successful  and  have  been  made  all  the 
more  pleasant  by  serving  the  lunch  at  the  intermission  at  the  Dining  Hall.  The  Junior 
and  Senior  Proms,  were  well  attended  and  were  heartily  enjoyed  as  much  in  their 
preparation  as  in  their  realization. 

Another  innovation,  and  one  which  caused  a  lot  of  amusement  while  it  lasted,  was 
the  '06  Minstrel  Show.  This  genuine,  all  star,  black  face,  aggregation  roasted  everyone, 
from  the  powers  that  be,  down  to  the  poor  fellow  who  lost  the  last  car  from  Holyoke. 
Who  can  forget  the  tender  tributes  to  certain  members  of  the  faculty  in  the  topical  song 
or  the  agonizing  discords  of  the  "Imperial  City  Quartet." 

Just  before  college  closed,  contracts  were  let  out  for  the  building  of  a  new  barn 
and  a  new  building  to  be  devoted  to  Botany.  Both  of  these  are  now  being  constructed. 
The  landscape  has  changed  hardly  any,  and  when  the  new  barn  is  completed  an  alumnus 
can  come  back  and  feel  at  home.  He  will,  however,  miss  the  first  thing  that  used  to  greet 
his  eye,  namely  the  stars  and  stripes  flying  from  the  old  flag  pole,  for  after  over  forty 
years  of  service  it  was  blown  down  last  November. 

Through  the  winter  we  heard  rumors  from  time  to  time  about  a  new  president  and 
finally  we  found  out  who  it  was  to  be.  Then  the  base-ball  team  went  down  to  Kingston 
and  brought  back  a  favorable  report  of  him.  In  June  we  caught  a  glimpse  of  him  on  the 
commencement  stage.  On  the  first  day  of  college  this  September  we  welcomed  Kenyon 
L.  Butterfield  and  his  policy  of  the  "Square  Deal"  with  all  the  enthusiasm  of  which 
an  expectant  student  body  is  capable.  The  Inauguration  meant  little  more  to  many  of 
us  than  did  that  first  morning.  Now  "Massachusetts"  and  our  new  Prexy  are  well 
started  upon  another  year;    the  first  year,  we  hope  of  a  new  period  of  glorious  activity.

THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


The  New  President  of  the  Massachusetts 
Agricultural  College 


HEN  A  COLLEGE  seeks  a  new  president  it  has  a  difficult  task  to 
perform,  but  the  trustees  of  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College 
had  not  only  the  ordinary  difficulties  to  contend  with,  but  those 
peculiar  to  a  college  of  its  kind.  It  has  mastered  these  in  the 
selection  of  Kenyon  L.  Butterfield  to  take  the  place  of  President 
Goodell. 

While  born  in  Michigan  in  1  868,  he  comes  of  old  Massachusetts 
Bay  stock — the  Butterfields  and  Davidsons.  Among  the  pioneers  of  Michigan  was 
his  grandfather,  a  man  prominent  in  farming  and  also  of  experience  in  the  Michigan 
Senate.  The  new  president  thus  has  the  pioneer  capacity,  which  is  esential  in  a  leader 
in  any  progressive  educational  institution.  He  takes  from  his  father  those  elements 
and  characteristics  of  agricultural  life  which  are  also  essential,  for  the  father  has  been 
a  leading  farmer  of  Michigan,  a  member  and  secretary  of  the  Board  of  Agriculture  of 
that  state,  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  Michigan  Agricultural  College  and  is  now 
secretary  of  the  Michigan  State  Agricultural  Society,  in  charge  of  the  State  Fair. 

President  Butterfield  had  the  experience  of  a  dairy  farm,  was  educated 
in  the  public  schools  of  Michigan  and  graduated  from  the  Michigan  Agricultural  College 
in  the  agricultural  course  in  189L  with  the  degree  of  B.  S.  He  then  had  an  exper- 
ience upon  an  agricultural  periodical.  In  1895,  he  was  made  superintendent  of  the  farmers' 
institutes  of  Michigan,  and  here  he  met  with  great  success,  thoroughly  organizing  an 
institute  system.  He  was  also  field  agent  of  the  Michigan  Agricultural  College  for  a 
number  of  years. 

The  University  of  Michigan  honored  itself  in  1  902  by  admitting  him  to  the  degree 
of  A.  M.,  as  a  result  of  his  work  in  sociology  and  economics.  In  the  same  year,  1902, 
he  was  made  instructor  in  rural  sociology  at  the  University,  and  in  December  was  elected 
to  the  presidency  of  the  Rhode  Island  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts,  where 
his  ability  and  fine  character  have  been  thoroughly  recognized  and  appreciated. 

President  Butterfield  has  written  quite  freely,  especially  on  the  various  phases  of 
rural  sociology,  a  matter  in  which  he  takes  great  interest.      He  has  contributed  to  the 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Outlook,  Review  of  Reviews,  the  Forum  and  the  American  Journal  of  Sociology.  He 
gained  considerable  reputation  and  prominence  by  a  paper  on  The  Social  Phase  of  Agri- 
cultural education  before  the  convention  of  the  association  of  American  agricultural 
colleges  in  Des  Momes  in  1 904.  In  the  same  year  he  gave  one  of  the  two  papers  read 
before  the  Congress  of  Arts  and  Science,  St.  Louis,  in  the  section  of  rural  community,  on 
'the  subject  of  "The  Social  Problems  of  American  Farmers."  The  other  paper  was 
given  by  Weber,  of  Germany. 

The  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington,  an  institution  given  to  original  and  scien- 
tific research,  organized  a  department  of  economics  and  sociology  for  the  particular 
purpose  of  preparing  or  coUectmg  the  facts  for  a  monumental  economic  history  of  the 
United  States,  and  the  head  of  that  department,  after  canvassing  many  gentlemen  sug- 
gested for  the  division  of  agriculture,  selected  president  Butterfield  as  the  man  most  thor- 
oughly fitted  and  competent  to  take  up  so  great  a  work.  All  who  know  President  Butter- 
field  consider  him  a  man  of  sterling  integrity,  excellent  scholarship,  modest  and  retiring, 
but  forceful  and  efficient,  a  man  of  initiative  who  sees  a  problem  through  and  has  the  power 
to  carry  out  his  plans  connected  with  it.  He  is  a  man  possessing  the  elements  of  strength 
and  growth,  a  worthy  and  capable  successor  of  President  Goodell.  He  is  a  clear  thinker 
an  excellent  writer,  and  a  good  speaker. 

It  is  a  great  thing  for  him,  a  young  man  only  thirty-eight  years  of  age,  to  have  won 
the  respect  and  confidence  of  his  associates  in  the  Rhode  Island  institution,  for  they  all 
speak  of  him  in  the  highest  terms  and  are  exceedingly  sorry  to  lose  him,  but  they  feel  that 
his  field  in  Massachusetts  will  be  larger  than  that  in  Rhode  Island,  so  they  have  reluc- 
tantly but  very  graciously  relinquished  him  to  our  commonwealth.  He  has  many  friends, 
among  whom  may  be  counted  president  Faunce,  of  Brown  University,  who  speaks  in  the 
highest  terms  of  him.  President  Snyder,  of  the  Michigan  Agricultural  College,  predicts 
a  brilliant  future  for  President  Butterfield,  and  President  Angell,  of  the  University  of 
Michigan,  commends  him  as  a  man,  a  scholar,  and  an  administrator,  well  equipped  men- 
tally and  who  is  sure  to  grow. 

Of  course.  President  Butterfield  was  not  an  applicant  for  the  position  at  Amherst. 
He  was  sought  by  the  trustees  and  was  surprised  when  the  position  was  tendered  him, 
but  the  trustees  had  the  commendation  for  President  Butterfield  of  the  leaders  in  agricul- 
tural education,  such  as  Professors  Bailey,  of  Ithaca,  Jordan,  of  Geneva,  Jenkins,  of  New 
Haven,  Hills,  of  Burlington,  Wheeler,  of  Rhode  Island  and  others,  all  of  whom  are 
familiar  with  his  steady  advance  and  growth.  He  combines  the  elements  of  the  best 
New  England  stock  with  the  western  energy  and  optimism. 

As  indicated,  his  particular  field  of  study,  or  that  which  interests  him  as  much  as  any, 
is  in  the  sociology  of  the  farm.  His  syllabus  for  the  proposed  work  of  the  Carnegie 
Institution  stamps  him  as  most  thoroughly  imbued  with  the  science  he  has  taken  up.      He 


THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      xxxvIII 


appreciates  every  element  of  the  farmer's  life,  his  work  on  the  land  as  a  forester,  and  all 
those  social  and  ethical  relations  of  the  farmer  to  society,  rural  schools,  rural  churches, — 
everything  that  can  help  to  make  up  the  true  and  the  grand  life  for  the  agriculturists —  are 
subjects  dear  to  President  Butterfield,  and  I  predict  that  he  will  introduce  an  influence, — 
not  new,  but  invigorating, —  which  will  extend  the  work  and  the  value  and  the  importance 
of  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College. 

He  will  have  an  active  and  appreciative  coadjutor  in  Prof.  Brooks,  who  will  have 
charge  of  the  experiment  station,  and  these  two  will  give  the  Amherst  institution  a  pair 
of  workers  that  may  be  matched  somewhere  but  cannot  be  surpassed. 

This  leads  me  to  predict  increased  prosperity  and  enlarged  influence  for  the  state  of 
Massachusetts.  These  men,  with  a  good  faculty  and  the  equipment  at  hand,  ought  to 
convince  the  old  commonwealth  that  it  has  not  yet  been  sufficiently  liberal  in  its  treatment 
of  the  agricultural  college,  and  that  whatever  aid  it  can  be  induced  to  offer  will  be  not 
only   appreciated,   but   discreetly   and  wisely   administered. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


The  Agricultural  Department 


HE  WORK  in  the  Agricultural  Department  in  the  Massachusetts  Agri- 
cultural College  is  required  of  all  students  for  the  first  two  years  of 
the  college  course.  The  selection  of  subjects  during  this  time  is 
determined  mainly  by  two  considerations: 

First,  the  subjects  taken  up  at  the  outset  must  be  such  as  require 
on  the  part  of  the  student  the  mmimum  of  preparation  in  such  fund- 
amental sciences  as  geometry,  chemistry  and  botany.      Those  which 
pertain  to  the  various  classes  of  live  stock  seem  best  to  meet  this  condition  and  the  study 
of  these  accordingly  follows  a  brief  general  survey  of  the  history  of  agriculture. 

Second,  so  far  as  the  preparation  of  the  students  in  the  abstract  sciences  make  it  prac- 
ticable, such  subjects  are  covered  during  these  two  years  as  are  most  fundamental  in 
connection  with  special  branches  of  agriculture  which  come  later  in  the  college  course, 
such  as  fruit  growing  and  market  gardening,  taught  in  the  Horticultural  Department, 
as  well  as  dairy  farming  and  other  subjects  taught  in  the  Agricultural  Department  proper. 
These   considerations   determine    the   position   assigned    the   study   of   soils. 

The  work  of  the  last  two  years  is  taken  only  by  those  students  electing  agriculture 
and  during  these  years  such  subjects  as  agronomy,  dairy  farming,  the  science  of  feeding, 
rural  economics  and  methods  and  results  of  agricultural  investigation  engage  the  attention 
of  students. 

It  is  the  object  in  the  course  in  agriculture  to  cultivate  in  so  far  as  may  be  possible 
the  capacity  to  observe  and  to  think  and  reason  from  observed  facts.  It  is  the  aim  to 
stimulate  mental  development  along  these  lines  as  well  as  to  lay  the  foundation  for  a 
vocation  in  some  of  the  many  fields  open  to  our  graduates.  There  are  three  rather  dis- 
tinct lines  of  agricultural  employment  toward  which  students  of  the  Massachusetts  Agri- 
cultural College  may  look  forward:  first,  farm  management;  second,  teaching;  third, 
experimental  work.  The  student  may  aim  to  fit  for  farm  management  either  as  a  bus- 
iness conducted  on  his  own  account,  or  as  a  salaried  profession.  Men  who  understand 
the  teaching  of  agriculture  are  in  demand  for  positions  in  agricultural  colleges,  for  posi- 
tions in  secondary  schools  and  as  school  superintendents  in  rural  districts.  Experimental 
work,  already  extensive  and  liberally  supported  by  state  and  national  governments,  calls 
for  many  men  and  besides  the  fields  of  employment  to  which  attention  has  been  called. 


36  THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlIl 


there  is  one  other,  already  extensive,  in  the  national  Department  of  Agriculture,  the  Sec- 
retary of  which  reports  it  to  be  difficult  to  find  qualified  men  for  the  numerous  lines  of 
work  with  which  this  Department  is  charged. 

The  facilities  of  the  college  for  teachmg  agriculture  are  extensive,  but  should  be, 
and  undoubtedly  will  be,  in  the  near  future  greatly  extended  and  improved  through  the 
provision  of  new  buildings  designed  for  the  work  of  the  department.  Of  particular 
importance  in  connection  with  the  course  of  training  in  so  far  as  this  relates  to  preparation 
for  farm  management,  but  importance  in  other  directions  as  well,  is  the  portion  of  the 
college  estate  generally  spoken  of  as  the  college  farm.  This  includes  I  60  acres  of  im- 
proved land,  40  acres  of  pasture  and  1  6  acres  of  wood  land.  With  the  completion  of 
the  new  buildings,  the  college  farm  will  be  well  equipped.  The  stables  and  silos  will 
illustrate  the  latest  ideas  in  the  construction  of  such  buildings.  Both  are  fire  proof. 
The  dairy  will  also  be  fire  proof,  the  walls  being  constructed  of  hollow  cement  blocks. 
The  stables  and  the  dairy  have  been  designed  with  especial  reference  to  the  production 
of  milk  as  nearly  germ  free  as  possible.  Both  will  be  equipped  with  the  latest  and  best 
types  of  equipment  and  machinery.  The  farm  will  be  stocked  with  the  best  breeds  of 
horses,  cattle,  sheep  and  swine.  Those  breeds  especially  suited  to  New  England  con- 
ditions will  be  most  largely  represented.  All  students  desiring  farm  practice  are  given 
the  opportunity  to  take  part  in  all  the  various  branches  of  work  which  are  carried  on. 
The  fields  of  the  farm  have  been  brought  to  a  high  state  of  productiveness  and  no  effort 
is  spared  to  make  them  teach  valuable  lessons  in  connection  with  all  the  various  phases  of 
farm  practice. 

The  agricultural  laboratory  is  provided  with  all  the  latest  forms  of  apparatus  for  the 
mechanical  analysis  of  soils  and  for  the  determination  of  their  physical  characteristics. 
Some  pieces  of  apparatus  are  of  original  design  and  undoubtedly  superior  to  any  other 
forms  used  for  similar  purposes.  The  laboratory  provides  facilities  for  the  study  of  seeds 
and  crops.  It  is  also  equipped  with  the  apparatus  needed  for  pot  experiments.  Power 
has  been  introduced  into  the  laboratory  so  that  farm  machinery  may  be  operated  for 
purposes  of  demonstration. 

The  department  is  equipped  with  a  line  of  instruments  for  use  in  drainage  and 
irrigation  practicums  and  students  electing  the  subject  will  be  given  actual  practice  in  the 
laying  out  and  construction  of  drains. 

Dairy  practice  is  provided  for  in  a  fairly  satisfactory  manner  in  basement  rooms  which 
have  been  adapted  to  the  purpose.  These  rooms  are  equipped  with  all  the  latest  forms 
of  dairy  machinery. 

The  agricultural  museum  contains  a  collection  of  implements,  seeds,  plants,  fertilizer 
materials,  and  models  of  animals  all  of  which  are  designed  to  illustrate  the  theory  and 
practice  of  agriculture. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE

The  department  at  present  uses  one  lecture  room,  with  museum  attached,  and  five 
rooms  for  laboratory  and  dairy  purposes.  The  work  of  instruction  is  shared  in  by  the 
head  of  the  department,  an  associate  professor  and  an  instructor  throughout  the  entire 
year  and  by  three  special   instructors   for  the  dairy  practice. 


Qk..(^i:^^r^ 


Department   of   Horticulture  and   Landscape 
Gardening 

N  THIS  department  the  work  may  be  classified  into  three  groups,  in 
each  of  which  various  things  are  being  done.  These  three  kinds  of 
work  are  as  follows: 

1 .  Teaching. 

2.  Experimentation. 

3.  College  Extension. 

The  department  is  undoubtedly  best  known  through  its  teaching. 
In  the  minds  of  many  people  this  seems  to  be  its  only  function.  While  that  opinion  is 
wrong,   the   teaching  work  has  in   fact  usually  been   the  most   prominent. 

As  at  present  organized,  the  teaching  work  runs  in  three  fairly  distinct  lines  viz: — 

1 .  General  horticulture. 

2.  Floriculture. 

3.  Landscape  gardening. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Each  one  of  these  subjects  practically  constitutes  a  course  by  itself,  although  the 
required  semester's  work  in  the  sophomore  year,  dealing  with  the  subjects  of  propa- 
gation and  pruning,  is  taken  by  all  students  alike.  Aside  from  this  one  semester,  all 
the  work  in  the  department  is  elective.  The  general  horticulture  work  consists  of  courses 
in  fruit  growing,  systematic  pomology,  commercial  pomology,  market  gardening,  arbor- 
iculture, and  plant  breeding.  The  floriculture  work  occupies  the  senior  year  and  covers 
greenhouse  construction,  greenhouse  management,  florists'  crop  with  the  propagation,  culti- 
vation and  management  of  each,  exhibition  and  scoring  of  flowers,  with  a  few  exercises 
in  vegetable  gardening  under  glass.  The  landscape  gardening  course  includes  practical 
work  in  surveying  and  mapping,  a  study  of  classic  designs,  the  design  of  grades,  road 
design,  grouping,  planting,  the  various  styles  of  landscape  gardening,  reports,  estimates 
and  contracts,  and  a  thorough  drill  in  the  plants  used. 

As  evidence  of  the  growing  interest  in  these  subjects  and  of  the  increasing  degree  in 
which  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  is  meeting  the  demands  of  the  day,  it  may 
be  pointed  out  that  this  differentiation  of  the  horticultural  work  into  three  groups  has 
taken  place  within  the  last  four  years.  We  may  also  indulge  the  hope  that  the  future 
will  show  equal  improvement  in  otlier  directions. 

TTie  work  of  teaching  is  greatly  facilitated,  and  to  some  extent  improved  in  quahty, 
by  the  completion  of  Wilder  Hall.  The  recitations  and  lectures  can  be  comfortably 
carried  on.  The  stereopticons  give  frequent  assistance.  The  laboratories  and  drafting 
rooms  make  opportunity  for  maiiy  valuable  exercises  which  formerly  had  to  be  omitted 
altogether. 

Besides  the  regular  classroom  and  laboratory  work  there  are  given  numbers  of  field 
exercises,  especially  in  floriculture,  arboriculture,  and  pomology.  The  weekly  seminars 
of  the  senior  class  add  their  share  to  the  value  of  the  training.  Moreover  every  student 
has  abundant  opportunity  (opportunities  improved  by  too  few  students)  to  gain  practical 
experience  by  working  in  the  department  out  of  hours.  Most  of  this  work  is  paid  for 
at  the  rate  of  12  1-2  cents  an  hour,  but  its  educational  value  is  enhanced  rather  than 
diminished  by  this  circumstance. 

The  experimental  work  of  the  Department  of  Horticulture  is  not  so  well  known. 
Nevertheless,  one  division  of  the  Hatch  Experiment  Station  belongs  in  this  department. 
The  principal  lines  of  experiment  are  three: 

1 .  The  propagation  of  fruit  trees. 

2.  The  pruning  of  fruit  trees. 

3.  The  systematic  study  of  fruits. 

The  experiments  under  the  first  two  heads  which  have  thus  far  attracted  most  atten- 
tion are  those  with  dwarf  fruit  trees.  The  department  has  a  garden  of  dwarf  fruit  trees 
which  has  borne  considerable  fruit,  large  quantities  of  experience,  and  one  small  book. 


140  THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVIII 


Other  experiments  are  being  conducted  with  market  garden  crops,  in  plant  breed- 
ing, a  study  of  physiological  constants,  etc. 

The  college  extension  work  in  which  the  Department  of  Horticulture  is  engaged  is 
not  so  well  organized  as  the  teaching  or  the  experimentation;  but  it  is  still  of  consider- 
able present  importance  and  possess  great  possibilities  of  future  development.  Some 
of  the  more  important  extension  schemes  in  which  the  department  has  recently  been 
engaged  are  as  follows: — 

1 .  School  gardens. 

2.  "Better  farming"  train. 

3.  Spraying  demonstrations. 

4.  Outside  lectures. 

5.  Journalistic  work. 

The  department  has  assisted  directly  in  the  school  garden  work  in  Amherst,  and 
last  Spring  conducted  a  school  garden  institute  in  Boston.  The  horticulture  branch 
was  well  represented  in  the  "better  farming  special"  train  which  covered  a  large  portion 
of  Massachusetts  last  Spring.  Several  public  spraying  demonstrations  have  been  held. 
Outside  lectures  before  granges,  farmers'  institutes  and  other  organizations  are  fre- 
quently given  by  all  members  of  the  horticultural  staff.  The  experience  collected  at  the 
college,  and  the  results  of  experiments,  are  also  made  known  to  the  public  in  a  somewhat 
regular   and  systematic  manner   through   contributions   to  various   periodicals. 

The  equipment  of  the  department  consists  of  land,  buildings,  orchards,  gardens, 
greenhouses,  tools,  scientific  instruments,  etc.  There  is  supposed  to  be  roughly  1  00  acres 
of  land  on  the  horticultural  side  of  the  college ;  but  the  best  surveying  instruments  now 
available  do  not  discover  quite  so  much.  It  is  extra  fine  land,  what  there  is  of  it;  but  only 
a  comparatively  small  portion  of  it  can  be  used  for  crops.  Some  of  it  is  in  forest,  part 
of  it  serves  the  general  purposes  of  college  campus.  Wilder  Hall  has  devoured  a  section. 
Dr.  Stone  has  cribbed  some  acres;  but  there  is  always  the  resource  of  intensive  cultiva- 
tion to  make  up  for  diminishing  area. 

The  principal  buildings  of  the  department  are  Wilder  Hall,  the  plant  houses,  the 
stable  and  tool  houses.  Of  these  only  the  first  is  modern  and  satisfactory.  Wilder 
Hall  can  stand  any  reasonable  amount  of  praise.  It  is  a  beautiful,  practical,  substan- 
tial edifice  of  brick  and  terra  cotta,  containing  a  surprising  amount  of  room  and  uncom- 
monly well  adapted  to  the  purposes  for  which  it  was  built.  The  Durfee  plant  house 
was  the  wonder  of  its  day;  but  its  day  was  contemporaneous  with  those  men  whose  sons 
are  now  coming  back  to  college.  In  the  way  of  tools,  scientific  instruments  and  minor 
equipment  the  department  is  well  provided.  The  mathematical  and  surveying  instru- 
ments, some  of  them  designed  and  made  especially  for  our  work,  are  worth  a  day's 
study  any  time.

This  recital  of  the  good  things  belonging  to  the  Department  of  Horticulture  and 
Landscape  Gardening  must  not  leave  any  impression  of  self-complacency,  nor  suggest 
the  thought  that  the  department  managers  are  in  any  way  satisfied  with  what  they  have 
got.  There  are  great  improvements  yet  to  be  made.  The  department  is  to  be  "bigger, 
busier  and  better"  in  every  respect,  from  the  size  of  the  cauliflowers  down  to  the  salaries 
of  the  instructors. 

This  improvement  is  to  cover  every  hne  of  departmental  activity.  In  the  way  of 
instruction  the  teaching  force  is  to  be  strengthened.  The  courses  are  to  be  extended 
and  improved,  especially  in  market  gardening,  forestry  and  floriculture.  The  exper- 
imental work  will  have  added  support  from  the  fimds  appropriated  by  the  Adams  bill 
which  recently  passed  Congress.  Plans  are  already  formed  for  important  advances 
along  this  line.  In  the  way  of  extension  work  new  schemes  are  already  outlined,  the 
development  of  which  waits  only  for  a  little  more  time  and  money.  The  material  equip- 
ment of  the  department  will  be  increased  just  as  rapidly  as  the  legislature  can  be  con- 
vinced that  this  is  the  most  important  enterprise  under  the  protection  of  the  state.  First 
of  all  an  entirely  new  and  modern  range  of  greenhouses  is  imperatively  required.  These 
should  offer  space  for  the  demonstration  of  violet  culture,  rose  growing,  lettuce  growing, 
and  the  management  of  all  the  standard  glass-house  crops  under  strictly  modern  com- 
mercial conditions.  New  tool  houses  are  also  an  immediate  necessity.  The  next  need 
will  be  for  a  good  fruit  house  with  cold-storage  equipment,  in  which  fruit  can  be  handled, 
graded  and  stored  in  twentieth  century  style. 

But  what  is  the  use  of  starting  in  to  tell  of  the  things  we  want  (and  expect  to  have)  ? 
Before  we  get  them  there  will  be  dozens  of  other  things  which  will  be  equally  necessary 
in  their  time  and  place.  We  may  comfort  ourselves  with  this  reflection  that,  unless  there 
should  be  some  radical  failure  somewhere,  the  time  will  never  come  when  there  are  not 
improvements  going  forward  in  the  Department  of  Horticulture  with  other  and  greater 
improvements  just  ahead.

The  Chemical  Department 


PORTION  OF  WORK  allotted  to  this  department  of  the  college 
consists  of  the  study  of  everything  which  in  any  way  appeals  to  the 
senses.  That  is,  all  kinds  of  materials.  These  are  especially  studied 
with  reference  to  their  use  in  the  production  of  food  and  shelter  for 
man.  This  is  agricultural  chemistry.  Agricultural  chemistry, 
together  with  all  other  kinds  of  chemistry,  occupies  merely  a  corner 
in  the  great  domain  of  physics.  With  the  evolution  of  the  latter,  this 
corner  continually  becomes  smaller  and  smaller,  and,  as  something  distinct  from  physics 
it  may  ere  long  entirely  vanish,  like  the  "  imponderable  gases  "  of  the  old  chemists. 
Students  in  chemistry  need  have  no  fear,  however,  that  their  favorite  domain  is  doomed. 
They  should  know  that  the  field  in  which  they  must  make  themselves,  at  home,  is  grad- 
ually becoming  more  and  more  extensive.  For  the  time  is  close  upon  us  when  a  chemist 
must  also  be  a  pretty  good  electrician,  and  mechanic  as  well.  He  must  know  not  only 
how  to  watch  for  colors  and  smells,  but,  in  addition,  how  to  generate  and  apply  electri- 
city, mechanical  and  other  forms  of  energy.  Not  only  how  to  direct  the  chemical  process 
in  a  mill,  for  instance,  but  how  to  construct  the  mill  itself,  in  all  its  manifold  equipment. 
Our  courses  aim  to  inculcate  accurate  observation,  logical  thinking  and  systematic 
and  constant  industry,  together  with  a  comprehensive  knowledge  of  the  subjects  taught. 
Instruction  is  given  by  text  books,  lectures,  and  a  large  amount  of  laboratory  work  under 
adequate  supervision.  The  laboratory  work  at  first  consists  of  a  study  of  the  properties 
of  elementary  matter,  analysis  of  simple  combinations,  and  their  artificial  preparation. 
This  is  followed  by  a  quantitative  analysis  of  salts,  minerals,  soils,  fertilizers,  animal  and 
vegetable  products.  The  advanced  instruction  takes  up  the  chemistry  of  various  manu- 
facturing industries,  especially  those  of  sugar,  starch,  and  dairy  products;  the  prepara- 
tion of  animal  and  plant  foods,  their  digestion,  assimilation  and  economic  use;  the  official 
analysis  of  fertilizers,  fodders  and  foods;  and  the  analysis  of  soils,  waters,  milk,  wine, 
and  other  animal  and  vegetable  products. 
The  courses  are  as  follows: 

Freshman  ^ear,  second  half  of  second  semester,  four  hours  a  week.      General  chem- 
istry. Part  1 ,  principles  of  chemistry,  non-metals. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


Sophomore  year,  first  semester,  six  hours  a  week.  General  chemistry,  Part  2, 
metals. 

Second  semester,  five  hours  a  week.      Subject  continued,  dry  analysis. 

Junior  year,  first  semester,  eight  hours  a  week.  Qualitative  and  quantitative  analysis, 
organic  chemistry.      Four  hours  a  week.  Special  subject. 

Second  semester,  ten  hours  a  week.  Organic  chemistry.  Five  hours  a  week. 
Special  subject. 

Senior  year,  first  semester,  three  hours  a  week.  Chemical  industries.  Eight  hours 
per  week ;   quantitative  analysis  and  physical  chemistry. 

Second  semester,  eight  hours  a  week.      Advanced  work  with  lectures. 

A  special  course  in  dairy  chemistry  is  conducted  every  winter. 

As  soon  as  adequate  facilities  are  at  hand  other  special  courses  will  be  introduced. 
At  the  present  time,  in  the  old  laboratory  building,  it  is  impossible  to  arrange  for  or  to 
execute  experimental  work  in  agricultural  chemistry  because  of  lack  of  room  and  of 
appliances.

Zoological  Department 


HE    ZOOLOGICAL   DEPARTMENT    conducts    the    courses    in 
Physiology,  General  Zoology,  and  Geology. 

Physiology 

Freshman  year,  one  half  of  the  second  semester,  four  hours  a 
week.  The  general  acquaintance  which  the  student  already  has,  from 
previous  work,  of  the  anatomy  of  the  body  and  the  physiology  of  its 
parts  permits  of  a  review  of  the  subject  in  a  short  time.  The  human  skeleton  is  dealt  with 
more  especially  from  the  standpoint  of  the  fitness  of  its  several  parts  for  the  functions  of 
the  body,  with  some  attention  to  its  more  primative  and  more  specialized  characters;  the 
muscles  as  modifiers  of  the  skeletal  framework,  and  so  forth ;  the  body,  as  a  whole,  as 
a  complex  system  of  machinery  of  which  heart,  alimentary  system,  brain,  glands,  etc.,  are 
parts;  the  organs  of  special  sense  as  connecting  links  with  the  world  outside  the  body. 
A  few  lectures  deal  with  the  relation  of  the  organism  to  the  medium  in  which  it  lives  and 
the  effect  of  function  on  structure. 

The  relations  of  conduct  and  exercise  to  the  normal  functions  of  the  body  are  dis- 
cussed. 

Considerable  attention  is  paid  to  the  mechanism  of  digestion  and  the  changes  under- 
gone by  food  m  the  alimentary  canal,  in  connection  with  diet,  mastication,  and  so  forth. 

Questions  of  sanitation  such  as  ventilation,  house  construction,  water  supply,  disposal 
of  sewage  and  garbage,  transmissable  diseases,  and  the  hygienic  principles  involved,  are 
dealt  with  quite  fully. 

Zoology 

The  courses  offered  in  Zoology  include:  an  introductory  course.  Zoology  II 
Sophomore  year;  a  more  advanced  course.  Zoology  III  Junior  year;  a  graduate  course, 
as  a  minor  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  Zoology  IV. 


Zoology  II 
Sophomore  year,  first  semester,  two  periods  per  week.      The  aim  of  this  course  is 
to  give  the  zoological  part  of  an  elementary  course  in  Biology.      It  consists  of  a  laboratory 
study   of   such    types    as   rhizopod,    flagellate,    ciliate,    sponge,    campanularian,    medusa. 


MASSACHUSETTS      AGRICULTURAL      COLLEGE  145 


starfish,  annelid,  lobster,  bivalve,  squid,  acraniate  and  vertebrate.  Lectures  deal  briefly 
with  related  forms,  classification,  systematic  position  of  forms  dissected  and  principal  points 
of  interest  in  each  form.      This  course  or  its  equivalent  is  a  prerequisite  to  Zoology  III. 

Zoology  III 
This  course  includes  a  suitable  amount  of  lecture  and  laboratory  work.  Four  per- 
iods per  week  through  the  Junior  year.  A  large  number  of  types  are  dissected.  The 
course  aims  at  giving  a  much  more  complete  knowledge  of  each  group  than  it  was  possible 
to  obtain  in  Zoology  II.  The  lectures  deal  with  the  comparative  morphological  features 
in  each  group  and  among  the  different  groups;  with  interrelationships  and  taxonomic  val- 
ues as  a  foundation  for  further  work  in  phylogeny.  Questions  of  ecology  are  empha- 
sized in  those  groups  that  have  relations  with  insects,  or  plants,  or  the  soil, — or  which  are 
of  practical  importance  in  the  life  and  affairs  of  the  commonwealth.  Questions  of  origin, 
adaptation,  and  development,  and  kindred  topics  are  discussed.  Attention  is  given  to  the 
technique  of  microscopic  preparation  in  connection  with  the  laboratory  study  of  animal 
forms. 

Advanced  Course 
Three  semesters,  as  a  minor  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy.  The  work 
here  is  of  a  more  advanced  character.  It  consists  of  lecture  and  laboratory  work  and 
required  reading.  The  student  is  expected  to  undertake  the  investigation  of  some  pro- 
blem in  ecology  such  as  the  distribution  of  seeds  by  birds,  the  relations  of  birds  to  inseclj, 
the  habits,  adaptive  modifications  and  practical  importance  of  burrowing  mammals  native 
to  the  state,  etc;  or  of  some  problem  connected  with  sanitation,' or  fishing  industries,  or 
parasitic  forms,  such  as  the  Myxosporidea  and  their  devastations  and  life  histories,  etc. 
Lectures  treat  of  the  historic  aspect  of  zoology,  ecology,  of  the  various  groups  from  Pro- 
tozoa up,  comparative  zoology,  invertebrate  and  vertebrate  comparative  embryology,  phy- 
logeny, philosophic  zoology,  geographic  distribution,  cytology.  Reading  is  required  in 
connection  with  the  lectures.  The  laboratory  work  is  an  examination  of  types  and  work 
in  histology  and  embryology. 

Zoological  Club 
The  zoological   club  meets  once   a  month   for   the  discussion   of  papers  on   various 
topics  of  zoological  interest,  and  the  review  of  current  literature. 

The  Museum  and  Equipment 
The  Museum  is  one  of  the  most  complete  for  its  size  anywhere  to  be  found.      The 
equipment  for  physiological,  zoological,  and  geological  instruction  is  ample. 


THE      1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


Geology 

Junior  year,  second  semester,  three  hours  per  week. 

Petrography 

The  course  begins  with  a  consideration  of  the  rock  forming  minerals  and  the  prin- 
cipal rock  types.  The  crystallography  and  cleavage  of  the  rock-forming  minerals  are 
dealt  with  briefly  as  an  aid  to  the  determination  of  the  constituent  minerals  in  the  hand 
specimens  and  the  chemical  composition  is  briefly  outlined  for  the  sake  of  an  easier 
understanding  of  the  process  of  weathering.  Then  follows  a  discussion  of  the  igneous  rock 
masses  and  their  structural  features.      Lectures  and  laboratory  work. 

Surface  Geology 

Under  this  caption  are  considered  the  destructive  processes  leading  to  the  breaking 
down  of  rocks.  The  mechanical  and  chemical  agencies  in  the  process  and  the  resulting 
changes  are  all  considered.  The  subject  of  soils  belongs  here.  The  sedimentary  rocks  are 
also  treated  here,  and  the  reconstructive  processes  of  swamp  and  flood-plain  making, 
estuarine  deposits,  tidal  marshes  and  other  physiographic  phenomena,  such  as  land  sculpture, 
river  adjustment,  erosion  cycles  and  various  topographic  forms  are  considered  here. 
Laboratory  work  with  topographic  maps. 

Stratigraphy  in  its  relation  to  surface  geology  is  illustrated  and  discussed. 

Economic  Geology 
This  deals  with  rock-masses  or  mineral  deposits  of  non-metallic  character  which  are 
of  practical  importance,  coal,  natural  fertilizers,  oils,  etc. 

Field  Geology 
Field  work  in  mapping  areas,  working  out  structural  features,  stream  erosion,  and 
so  forth. 

Historic   Geology 
This  traces  the  progress  of  life  on  our  globe. 


The  above  sketch  has  been  prepared  at  my  request  by  Prof.  Gordon.

MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


English  Department 


HE  ENGLISH  DEPARTMENT  gladly  accepts  an  invitation  to 
speak  from  the  pages  of  the  Index  and  congratulates  the  class  of  1 908 
on  being  allowed  to  bring  out  its  Class  publication  at  a  time  so  full  of 
interest  in  the  history  of  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College.  We 
are  approaching  the  fortieth  anniversary  of  the  opening  of  the  College. 
The  hopes  of  its  founders  are  beginning  to  be  realized,  and,  although 
the  history  of  these  forty  years  is  yet  unwritten,  a  review  of  their 
prominent  events  cannot  fail  to  strengthen  us  for  present  work  and  to  inspire  us  with 
lofty  ambitions  for  the  future. 

As  it  is  with  the  College  so  is  it  with  individual  departments.  Hence  our  purpose 
to  emphasize  a  few  facts  connected  with  the  history  of  the  English  Department  in  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College. 

The  work  in  English  during  the  first  few  years  of  the  life  of  the  college  was  upon 
orations,  declamations,  and  compositions.  There  were  also  lectures  upon  English  liter- 
ature. In  the  seventh  annual  report  of  the  Trustees,  published  in  January,  1870,  there  is 
found,  among  the  names  of  the  Faculty,  the  name  of  "Henry  H.  Goodell,  Professor  of 
English."  For  the  next  fourteen  years,  the  same  name  is  found,  but  with  the  title,  "Pro- 
fessor of  Modern  Languages,"  instruction  in  French  and  German,  as  well  as  in  English, 
being  a  part  of  Professor  Goodell's  work.  In  the  twenty-first  annual  report,  published 
in  1884,  Prof.  Goodell  has  the  title  "Professor  of  Modern  Languages  and  English  Lit- 
erature," and  "Provisional  Instructor  of  flhetoric  and  English  Composition."  From 
1885  to  1888  his  title  was  "Professor  of  Modern  Languages  and  English  Literature." 
In  the  report  of  1888  he  has  assumed  the  title,  "President  and  Professor  of  Modern 
Languages  and  English  Literature,"  which  title  he  carried  until  1890  when  the  "English 
Literature"  was  dropped  and  thereafter  he  was  "President"  and  "Professor  of  Modern 
Languages." 

It  will  be  seen,  therefore,  that  during  the  first  twenty-three  years  of  the  history  of 
the  college  the  work  in  English  was  planned  and  directed  by  one  man.  He  brought  to 
it  cultivated  taste,  accurate  scholarship  and  inspiring  enthusiasm.  He  laid  broad  and 
stable  foundations  for  the  department  of  English  in  this  college;  his  ideal  for  the  super- 
structure was  high  and  not  easily  reached. 


THE      1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


During  the  last  seventeen  years  the  work  of  the  English  Department  has  been  con- 
ducted along  the  lines  of  written  and  oral  expression  and  of  familiarity  with  some  of  the 
master-pieces  of  English  and  American  literature.  The  history  of  the  English  language 
and  literature  is  receiving  more  and  more  attention,  and  the  principles  of  argumentation 
have  practical  illustration.  The  Department  holds  strongly  to  the  idea  that  young  men 
need  to  learn  the  art  of  writing  clearly  and  vigorously  and  of  being  able  to  express  their 
thoughts  in  public  speaking  so  as  to  interest,  to  convince  and  to  persuade.  They  need, 
too,  to  share  in  that  liberal  culture  which  comes  from  the  discovery  of  the  jewels  hidden 
in  "Kings'  Treasuries."  Especially  do  the  graduates  of  our  Agricultural  Colleges  need 
this  training  if  they  are  to  become  leaders  in  that  work  of  bettering  the  conditions  of  life 
in  our  rural  communities  for  which  there  is  such  crying  need,  and  responsibility  for  which 
lies  pre-eminently  at  the  door  of  the  Agricultural  College.

Department  of  Veterinary  Science 

URING  THE  PAST  twenty-five  or  thirty  years  the  subject  of  medi- 
cine, both  human  and  vetermary,  has  undergone  a  complete  revolution. 
These  changes  have  resulted  from  a  study  of  the  modern  science  of 
bacteriology  through  which  we  have  become  familiar  with  the  nature 
and  life  history  of  the  causes  of  many  of  the  infectious  diseases  for- 
merly shrouded  in  deep  mystery.  Many  of  the  diseases  belonging  to 
this  class,  that  were  formerly  supposed  to  be  due  to  the  influences  of 
unfavorable  surroundings,  are  now  known  to  be  caused  by  specific  organisms  or  their 
products  of  which  we  possess  a  definite  knowledge  regarding  their  morphology,  environ- 
ment and  chemistry.  This  knowledge  enables  us  to  attack  the  organism  or  its  product 
in  such  a  manner  that  it  is  either  prevented  from  gaining  access  to  the  body  or  its  effects 
are  neutralized  or  counteracted  in  the  system  so  that  the  occurrence  of  the  disease  is 
prevented  or  is  quickly  cured. 

The  highest  aim  of  modern  medicinal  science  is  the  prevention  of  disease.  The  pos- 
sibilities in  this  direction  are  fully  as  much,  if  not  more,  in  the  hands  of  those  who  have 
to  deal  with  the  individual  when  in  health  as  when  under  the  control  or  direction  of  the 
medical  practitioner  whose  services  are  not,  as  a  rule,  sought  until  disease  has  made  its 
appearance.  To  cure  disease  then  is  one  of  the  chief  functions  of  the  practitioner;  to  pre- 
vent it  is  of  greater  concern  to  the  layman.  Most  of  our  farm  animals  start  out  in  hfe 
with  a  strong  constitution  and  a  clean  bill  of  health.  By  the  proper  application  of  the 
rules  of  modern  animal  hygiene  it  is  possible  to  maintain  this  condition  in  them.  One 
of  the  principle  objects  of  having  a  course  in  Veterinary  Science  taught  in  an  agricultural 
college  (where  students  are  not  graduated  as  veterinary  practitioners)  should  be  to  so 
famiharize  the  student  with  the  nature  of  the  cause,  course,  and  effect  of  disease  as  to 
enable  him  to  prevent  its  occurrence  or  to  avoid  its  ill  effects  when  this  can  be  accom- 
plished in  a  simple  manner. 

In  the  arrangement  of  the  courses  of  instruction  in  the  Veterinary  department  in 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College  this  important  phase  of  the  work  has  been  kept  in  view 
and  carried  out,  without,  in  too  great  a  measure,  neglecting  the  demands  of  prospective 
students  of  human  and  veterinary  medicine.  It  is  the  intention  to  teach  more  of  funda- 
mental principles  of  medical  science,  rather  than  too  many  of  the  details  of  special  path- 
ology or  surgery.  To  accomplish  the  purpose  in  a  most  satisfactory  manner,  two  lines  of 
work  have  been  taken  up,  a  course  in  Veterinary  Science  proper  and  a  general  course  in 
Bacteriology. 


THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVllI 


In  the  former  course,  instruction  is  given  in  veterinary  hygiene,  veterinary  anatomy 
and  physiology,  general  pathology,  materia  medica,  minor  surgery  and  practice  of  medicine. 
The  course  in  Bacteriology  covers  the  subjects  of  the  classification  of  bacteria,  methods  of 
growth,  spore  formation,  spore  germination,  environment  of  bacteriology,  chemistry  of  the 
same  and  their  relation  to  such  phenomena  as  fermentation,  putrefaction,  pigment  pro- 
duction, production  of  disease,  prevention  and  cure  of  the  same,  nitrification  in  the  soil, 
relation  of  bacteria  to  the  dairy,  etc.  To  carry  on  these  two  lines  of  work  advanta- 
geously the  department  has  been  provided  through  the  generosity  of  the  legislature,  with  a 
commodious  laboratory  and  hospital  stable,  with  the  necessary  equipment  for  the  same, 
consisting  of  miscroscopes,  incubator,  miscrotomes  and  other  valuable  scientific  apparatus 
and  material  for  laboratory  study  or  demonstration  purposes.

Mathematical  Department 

NUMBER  OF  SUBJECTS  which  are  more  or  less  related,  are 
in  charge  of  this  department,  and  the  object  sought  to  be  ac- 
complished is  dependent  to  a  certain  extent  upon  the  character  of  the 
subject.  During  the  freshman  year  instruction  is  given  in  algebra, 
solid  geometry  and  plane  trigonometry.  The  primary  object  of  this 
training  is  to  familiarize  the  student  with  those  portions  of  the  subjects 
which  are  necessary  for  a  proper  understanding  of  a  number  of  studies 
which  come  later  in  the  course.  The  main  object  then  is  utilitarian,  that  is  to  familiar- 
ize the  student  with  tools  which  he  must  subsequently  use.  The  educational  and  culture 
value  of  the  instruction  is  however  never  lost  sight  of.  Logical  thinking  and  the  develop- 
ment of  the  reasoning  powers  of  the  student  are  sought  by  the  instructor  in  the  presentation 
of  the  subjects.  The  instruction  also  aims  to  train  the  student  in  conciseness  of  expression 
and  to  emphasize  the  necessity  of  accuracy. 

The  course  in  analytic  geometry  and  calculus  given  as  an  elective  in  the  junior  year 
embraces  only  as  much  of  those  subjects  as  are  necessary  for  a  proper  understanding  of  any 
but  the  most  elementary  portions  of  physics,  chemistry  and  the  applications  of  mechanics 
to  construction.  The  drill  afforded  by  these  subjects  in  mathematical  processes  is  of 
great  value  in  affording  the  student  a  mastery  of  the  mathematics  of  the  freshman  year. 
The  very  limited  time  allowed  to  physics  in  the  curriculum,  and  the  absence  of  any 
facihties  for  laboratory  instruction  cause  the  instruction  to  be  confined  to  the  presentation 
of  only  the  most  fundamental  parts  of  the  subject.  The  department  especially  regrets  the 
adverse  conditions  under  which  it  is  obliged  to  present  such  important  subjects  as  mechan- 
ics and  electricity  and  its  inability  to  give  even  an  elementary  laboratory  course. 

The  course  in  surveying  is  designed  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the  use  of  the 
compass,  transit  and  level,  so  that  he  may  be  able  to  perform  the  ordinary  problems  of  land 
surveying  and   drainage. 

The  aim  of  the  instruction  in  civil  engineering  is  to  qualify  the  student  for  immediate 
usefulness  in  the  field  in  the  subordinate  positions,  and  also  acquaint  the  student  with  the 
principles  of  a  few  of  the  most  important  divisions  of  the  subject.  Especial  attention  is 
given  to  the  courses  in  road  construction  and  earthwork  on  account  of  their  prominence  in 
landscape  engineering.  The  courses  in  strength  of  materials,  elementary  structures, 
hydraulics  and  foundations  are  given  considerable  attention.  The  student  is  also  given 
considerable  drill  in  the  use  of  the  surveying  instruments  adapted  to  topographic  and  land- 
scape work.

The  Botanical  Department 

HE  OBJECT  in  the  course  in  botany  is  to  teach  those  topics  pertaining  to 
the  science  which  have  a  bearing  upon  economic  and  scientific  agri- 
cuhure.      The  undergraduate  work  extends  through  six  semesters. 

In  the  freshman  year  the  work  consists  of  a  study  of  the  histology 
and  physiology  of  the  higher  type  of  plants,  including  a  study  of  the 
minute  structure  of  the  plant  organisms,  such  as  stems,  roots,  leaves, 
seeds,  etc.,  together  with  their  functions  and  their  chemical  and  phys- 
ical properties;    followed  by  a  study  of  the  relationship  of  plants,  their  gross  structure  and 
extensive  individual  practice  in  flower  analysis.      An  herbarium  of  200  species  of  plants 
is  required. 

In  the  junior  year  the  study  of  the  lower  forms  of  plant  life  is  taken  under  the  head 
of  cryptogamic  botany,  followed  by  a  course  in  pathological  and  physiological  botany  in 
which  the  common  fungus  diseases  of  crops  are  studied  and  methods  of  prevention  and 
control  discussed.  The  plant's  functions  as  related  to  susceptibility  to  diseases  are  also 
studied. 

Plant  pathology  and  physiology  are  taken  up  in  the  senior  year.  This  year's  work 
is  adapted  to  the  requirements  of  students  who  desire  a  more  detailed  knowledge  of  plant 
diseases  and  plant  physiology.  Each  student  works  along  the  lines  which  will  aid  him 
most  in  after  life.  The  diseases  and  care  of  green-house  plants,  garden  crops,  farm  crops, 
shade  trees  or  orchard  trees,  etc.,  are  taken  up  according  to  the  individual  needs  or  tastes  of 
the  student.      Tree  surgery  is  an  important  feature  of  the  work. 

A  graduate  course  of  one  year  and  a  half  leading  to  the  degree  of  Master  of  Science 
is  given  in  which  the  work  may  be  listed  as  general  and  special  botany,  and  special  prob- 
lem work. 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy  is  given  after  a  three  years'  graduate  course, 
which  includes  a  special  problem  for  investigation  and  courses  in  physiology,  pathology, 
mycology,  ecology,  taxonomy,  histology,  history  of  botany  and  the  theories  of  evolution. 
A  monthly  botanical  conference  is  held  for  the  senior  and  post-graduate  students  at  which 
subjects  of  either  a  botanical  nature  or  of  general  interest  are  discussed. 

Heretofore  the  department  has  been  handicapped  by  lack  of  facilities,  but  Clark 
Hall,  now  in  course  of  construction,  has  been  designed  to  meet  the  exacting  requirements 
of  the  department,  and  as  soon  as  completed  will  place  the  department  of  botany  in  a 
position  to  handle  easily  and  completely  the  work  required  to  give  a  thorough  training  in 
this  important  science.

THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlIl 


Department  of  Entomology 


NSECTS  ARE  THE  CAUSE  of  much  financial  loss  in  nearly  every 
occupation  followed  by  man.  Particularly  is  this  true  in  the  various 
lines  of  agriculture,  where  it  is  conservatively  estimated  that  over  four 
hundred  million  dollars  worth  of  crops  is  lost  by  their  attacks  each 
year,  while  this  sum  is  frequently  doubled  by  an  unusual  abundance  of 
one  kind  of  insect  or  another. 

Much  of  this  loss  can  be  avoided  by  proper  methods  of  treatment 
applied  at  the  right  times  and  in  the  right  ways  and  with  this  in  view  the  general  subject 
of  insects,  their  lives,  habits,  injuries,  and  the  best  methods  of  control  is  taken  up  during 
the  last  half  of  the  Junior  year. 

Such  a  course  must  be  very  general  in  its  nature,  however,  and  in  the  Senior  year  the 
subject  is  also  offered  as  an  elective.  During  this  year  the  work  is  mainly  individual  in 
its  nature,  being  arranged  to  best  meet  the  needs  of  each  one  taking  it.  The  student  who 
plans  to  become  a  fruit  grower  studies  the  insects  which  attack  fruit  and  fruit  trees, 
learning  to  recognize  these  and  their  work  during  all  stages  of  their  growth,  how  to  pro- 
tect his  trees  from  their  attacks  and  the  best  methods  for  their  destruction  when  they  are 
already  present.  The  would-be  market  gardener  investigates  the  insects  attacking  market 
garden  crops  in  a  similar  way;  the  florist  learns  of  green-house  pests  and  the  future 
teacher  of  nature  studies  learns  of  the  insects  most  important  in  all  the  different  hnes  of 
agriculture. 

For  the  future  physician  careful  training  in  anatomical  and  histological  methods  is 
available,  and  a  careful  study  of  structure  and  cell  is  made.  Insects  affecting  stock  are 
considered  by  those  who  expect  to  take  up  stock  raising  or  dairying,  and  in  each  line  the 
student  specializes  with  direct  reference  to  his  future  occupation. 

The  ravages  of  insects  have  greatly  increased  during  the  last  half  century.  Not  only 
have  we  our  native  pests  to  contend  with  but  over  a  hundred  kinds  of  foreign  ones  have 
rc=iched  this  country.  This  has  resulted  in  a  demand  for  speciaUsts  in  Economic  or 
Applied  Entomology,  either  as  State  or  Experiment  Station  Entomologists  or  as  busmess 
men  caring  for  trees  and  other  plants  on  large  and  small  estates.  Such  men  need  a  more 
thorough  and  extended  knowledge  than  can  be  given  in  the  time  available  durmg  an  under- 
graduate course,  and  to  meet  the  increasing  demand  for  these  experts,  graduate  courses  of 
a  year  and  a  half  and  of  three  years  have  been  established  for  the  purpose  of  giving  to 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


such  men  the  requisite  training.  In  these  courses  two  subjects, — a  major  and  a  minor, — 
are  required,  the  major  subject  occupying  twenty  hours  and  the  minor  subject  averaging 
from  twelve  to  sixteen  hours  each  week.  At  the  end  of  a  year  and  a  half  of  this  work 
the  M.  S.  degree  may  be  obtained  by  passing  examinations  and  presenting  a  satisfactory 
thesis  containing  original  work.  Another  year  and  a  half,  the  minor  subject  now  being 
a  different  one  from  that  first  taken,  followed  by  examinations  and  a  satisfactory  thesis, 
entitles  the  student  to  the  Ph.  D.  degree.  With  entomology  as  his  major  subject  the 
student  in  such  a  course  may  choose  from  botany,  zoology,  chemistry  or  horticulture,  which 
two  he  will  take  as  minors  and  thus  select  those  more  directly  applicable  to  the  particular 
lines  of  his  future  occupation. 

Such  a  course  as  this  provides  a  thorough  training  for  men  of  ability,  and  the  demand 
for  such  thoroughly  educated  specialists  has  thus  far  exceeded  the  supply.  In  fact,  many 
who  have  begun  the  course  have  felt  it  necessary  to  leave  before  completing  it,  to  accept 
offers  which  they  believed  they  could  not  afford  to  refuse.

Military  Department 


HILE  THERE  is  yet  a  great  deal  to  be  done  to  make  the  Military 
Department  all  that  could  be  desired,  it  is  felt  that  improvement  has 
been  made  and  that  a  great  deal  more  will  be  accomplished  in  the 
future.  It  is  believed  that  students.  Faculty  and  Trustees  are  becom- 
ing more  and  more  convinced  that  a  proper  course  of  training  along 
military  lines  is  an  excellent  thing.  Excellent  because  of  its  training 
along  lines  of  discipline,  because  of  its  great  benefit  from  physical 
exercise  given  and  because  it  trains  each  year  a  number  of  men  who  in  time  of  national 
peril  could  take  hold  and  help  train  the  volunteer  armies  that  might  be  needed. 

It  is  not  felt  that  Military  drill  is  given  the  time  that  might  well  be  granted  to  it. 
At  present  the  battalion  only  has  three  drills  each  week.  A  daily  exercise  would  be  of 
great  value.  The  importance  of  regular  daily  exercise  under  intelligent  direction,  cannot 
be  overestimated  and  nothing  else  conduces  so  perfectly  to  effect  this  as  military  drill  under 
a  competent  instructor.  The  military  drill  produces  an  erect  and  graceful  carriage,  and 
a  manly  and  self-respecting  bearing  towards  others.  Nor  is  there  any  element  of  training 
which  so  cultivates  the  habits  of  regularity,  neatness  of  person  and  quarters,  promptness, 
obedience,  and  self-control,  as  the  military  discipline.  Under  this  training,  stooping  forms 
become  erect,  narrow  chests  expand,  an  uncertain  and  shuffling  gait  becomes  steady  and 
elastic. 

During  the  past  year  the  War  Department  has  allowed  the  College  to  turn  in  the 
old  and  obsolete  Springfield  Cadet  Rifles  and  have  issued  in  their  place  the  new  and 
modern  Krag-Jorgensen  magazine  rifles.  No  better  rifle  is  made  and  it  is  to  be  regretted 
that  we  have  no  suitable  rifle  range  on  which  to  hold  target  practice,  the  old  range 
being  condemned  last  spring  as  not  safe.  In  the  near  future  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  a  new 
and  larger  range  will  have  been  erected. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


The  military  instruction  has  covered  substantially  the  same  ground  as  in  previous 
years.  Cadets  have  shown  even  more  than  their  usual  interest  in  the  various  drills  and 
it  has  been  possible  to  attain  a  higher  degree  of  precision  and  to  cover  the  ground  more 
thoroughly  than  in  the  past.  The  Commandant  has  been  particularly  pleased  and 
gratified  by  the  marked  faithfulness  and  efficiency  that  has  been  uniformly  displayed  by 
the  cadet  officers  and  non-commissioned  during  the  present  semester.  These  young  gentle- 
men have  in  almost  every  case  appeared  to  the  Commandant  to  have  been  constantly  act- 
uated by  a  high  sense  of  duty  and  as  a  body  to  have  had  a  thorough  understanding  of  the 
responsibilities  and  obligations  of  their  positions. 

For  the  purposes  of  discipline  and  practical  military  instruction,  the  Battalion  is 
divided  into  three  companies,  a  staff,  and  band.  The  Cadet  officers  are  chosen  from 
those  Cadets  who  have  been  most  exemplary  in  conduct,  and  most  soldierly  in  bearing, 
and  who  are  proficient  in  their  College  work.  Thus  feeling  that  he  has  the  support  of 
the  college  authorities  and  being  placed  on  his  honor  properly  to  discharge  the  duties  of 
his  position,  a  Cadet  Officer  becomes  an  efficient  aid  in  the  maintenance  of  discipline,  and 
reports  such  breaches  of  regulations  as  come  under  his  notice,  for  the  most  part,  without 
antagonizing  the  Cadets  reported.  The  importance  of  having  the  Battalion  officered  by 
the  most  faithful  and  efficient  of  its  Cadets  cannot  be  overestimated,  for  through  them 
the  greater  part  of  the  discipline  and  instruction  of  the  Corps  has  to  be  effected.  To  this 
end  it  is  usually  required  that  a  Cadet  shall  have  served  two  years,  at  least,  before  receiving 
a  commissioned  office,  and  at  least  one  before  receiving  an  appointment  to  any  non- 
commissioned grade,  and  that  he  shall  pass  satisfactorily  both  theoretical  and  practical 
tests  of  his  efficiency. 

Military  drills  as  conducted  in  this  department,  are  found  to  be  as  valuable  in  teach- 
ing the  Cadet  self-control,  alertness,  and  thoroughness,  as  they  are  beneficial  as  an  exercise. 
Implicit  obedience  and  close  attention  are  required,  and  executing  command  after  command 
the  Cadet  soon  becomes,  perhaps  without  even  special  effort  on  his  part,  subordinate  and 
well  disciplined.  Thoroughness,  precision,  and  the  closest  observance  of  details  are 
insisted  upon;  no  improperly  executed  movement  is  permitted  to  go  uncorrected,  and  being 
taught  to  undei  stand  that  the  general  efficiency  of  the  Battalion  is  determined  by  its  weak- 
est men,  and  that  each  Cadet  is  individually  responsible  for  the  general  excellency  of  the 
command,  the  Cadet  becomes  interested  in  seeing  how  well  he  can  execute  each  move- 
ment, and  how  much  his  individual  efforts  can  contribute  to  the  general  efficiency  of  his 
company.      Friendly  rivalry  between  the  companies  is  encouraged  in  various  ways. 

The  facilities  for  Drill  and  General  Military  Instruction  at  the  College  are  not  all 
t'lat  could  be  desired.  For  indoor  drill  the  present  hall  is  entirely  too  smal'.  During 
the  winter  all  sorts  of  devises  are  resorted  to  to  keep  all  Cadets  busy.  The  gallery 
practice   room   has   however,    been    improved   by    adding   more    targets    and   will    greatly

facilitate  that  practice.  Owing  to  the  large  increase  in  attendance,  the  present  parade 
ground  is  hardly  large  enough  for  the  ceremonies  and  is  entirely  inadequate  for  battalion 
drills.  During  the  winter  months,  when  the  condition  of  the  weather  prevents  out-door 
work,  the  drill  hours  are  largely  devoted  to  gymnastic  exercise.  Butts'  Manual  of  Phy- 
sical Drills,  as  approved  by  the  Secretary  of  War  for  the  use  of  the  regular  army,  has 
been  adopted  for  the  use  of  the  Corps,  with  gratifying  results.  The  variety  offered  by 
these  exercises,  and  the  musical  accompaniment,  make  them  especially  pleasing,  and  care 
is  taken  to  prevent  distaste  resulting  from  fatigue. 

The  scope  of  military  instruction  includes  Infantry  drill  in  the  school  of  the  soldier, 
school  of  the  company,  school  of  the  battalion,  battle  exercises  and  all  the  ceremonies. 
In  Artillery,  the  school  of  the  cannoneer  and  mechanical  movements;  Rifle  practice  in 
nomenclature  of  the  Rifle,  and  its  care  and  preservation.  Position,  Aiming,  Sighting  and 
Estimating  Distance  Drills,  Gallery  Practice,  and  Practice  on  the  Range.  The  band 
is  trained  by  an  experienced  band  leader  and  musician  who  devotes  two  hours  each  week 
to  this  instruction.  Theoretical  Instruction  is  given  as  prescribed  for  Colleges  of  Class 
B  in  G.  O.  No.  101  War  Department,  Washington,  June  25th,  1905,  by  means  of 
text  and  lectures;  in  the  drill  regulations,  principles  of  military  science  and  ordnance  and 
gunnery.

Naughty  Eight  On  The  War 
Path 


"  Challenge's  up,"  a  Freshman  shouted. 

From  the  door-way  of  North  College. 

And   the   news  flew  round  among  them 

That  before  another  sunset 

They  must  play  a  game  of   football. 

With  their  mortal  foes,  the  Sophomores. 

And  they  played  the  game  and  lost  it. 

Griltily   they  played,   but   fortune 

Smiled   upon    their    adversaries. 

But  'tis  not  to   football  memories 

That  I  dedicate  this  story. 

But  to  wild  events  that  happened 

On  the  night  and  morn  preceding. 

While   the   tired  Sophomores  slumbered, 

Wearied  by  the  hours  of  practice, 

They  had  spent  in  preparation 

For  the  game   upon   the   morrow, 

Forth   the  verdant    Freshmen  sallied, 

Armed  with  paint  pots  and  with  brushes, 

And  their  numerals  boldly  painted 

On  the  walks  and  on  the  goal  posts; 

While  the  workmen's  shed  up  yonder, 

Where  Chief  Waugh's  new  lodge  was  building 

Bore  the  hideous  numbers,  stretching 

Full  six  feet  from  top  to  bottom. 

And  around  them  and  among  them, 

Like  a  guide-board  filled  with  bird  shot, 

Smaller  ones  were  intermingled. 

Now,  when  rose  the  sun  next  morning. 
Sore  displeased  were  all  the  Sophomores, 
And  wild  shouts  and  yells  ascended, 
Mixed  with   threats   and   imprecations. 
And  they  soon  were  on  the  warpath; 
Out  for  blood  were  they,  and  vengeance. 

Soon  some  artists  they  selected. 
From   among   the   passing    Freshmen, 
And  ere  long  the  face  of  nature 
Smiled   in    grateful    approbation; 
For  each  nine  was  changed  in  contour 
By   the   skillful    Freshman    artists 
To  an  eight,  that  shone  upon  us 
From  the  workmen's  shed  up  yonder, 
By  the  side  of  Waugh's  new  tepee, 
Visible   to   all   the   valley.

Next   the   party    travelled    townward, 
Down  to  where  the  trails  are  blended, 
Just  below  the  humble  wigwam 
Of  the  great  chief  Billy  Hasbrouck. 
Here  upon   the   sidewalk  glarmg 
Was  more   work  of  the  marauders. 
Even  the  black  lar  walk  looked  grateful 
When  the   Freshman  paint-brush  wielders 
Had  closed  in  the  lower  circle 
Left  before  so  widely  gaping. 

Next  in  order  came  the   goal-posts, 
Well  besmeared  with  Freshman  symbols, 
On   the   posts,    and   on   the   cross-bars. 
Tired   were    the   first    few   artists 
By   their   long,   sustained   exertion. 
And  the  cry  was  raised  for  others 
Who  might  shinny  up  the  goal-posts 
And  paint  out  the  offending  numerals, 
Some  obeyed  without  contention ; 
But  one,   sullenly   dechning 
To  proceed  as  he  was  bidden 
Felt  strong  hands  upon  his  shoulders, 
And  a  wrathful   band  of  Sophomores 
Bore  him  like  a  Kansas  cyclone 
Downward  to  the  pond  so  slimy, 
Known    as    Freshman    Purgatory. 

Meagre  was  the  ceremony. 
Short  the  time  of  expectation. 
Far  out  on  the  placid  waters. 
With  a  mightly  splash  he  landed. 
While    a   war-cry    woke    the    echoes- 
Meanwhile   from  his   lofty  tower. 
Shaking  fist  and  shouting  warnings. 
And  dire   threats  and  imprecations. 
Leaned  the  mighty  chief,  Ostrander, 
He  so  great  with  chain  and  transit; 
Black  his  face  and  flushed  with  passion. 
With  his  anger  at   the  outrage. 
Back    the    dripping  victim   hurried. 
And,   lest  rheumatism  catch  him. 
His  speed  was  accelerated 
By   the   war-club's  vigorous   usage. 
As  once  more   the  band  was  gathered 
On   the   campus  near  South   College, 
Two   great  chiefs   came   forth   to   parley 
And  to   talk  the  matter  over. 

Full  of  wrath  was  chief  Ostrander, 

And  a  cloud  seemed  darkening  o'er  us, 

But  the  other  chief  was   greater. 

And  his  reasoning  was  wiser. 

And  Quite  soon  the  strife  was  settled, 

And  the  hatchet  and  the  war-clubs 

Laid   aside    for   future  battles. 

And  once  more  peace  dwelt  among  us.

A  Pea  Green  Freshman 


There  are  always  a  few  Freshmen  who  overrate  themselves  in  their  work  and  make 
themselves  out  a  hero  too  soon.  A  letter  which  was  found  on  one  of  the  desks  in  room

"Zipp-Boom!"  "Crash!"  "Bing!"  "Slam-bang!" 

Hail  the  North  College  Roughhouse  Gang. 

Joe  Beals  the  leader  and  close  behind 

Squire  and  Rouge  and  Dot  you'll  find. 

And  a  room  is  stacked,  or  a  bed  upturned, 

A  Freshman  scared  or  an  old  trunk  burned. 

"Raus  mit  der  studying;  '   what's  the  use. 

There  is  no  study  when  they  get  loose, 

When  a  couch  breaks  down  'neath  the  weight  of  nine. 

They  all  declare,   "It's  something  fine." 

Many  a  night  have  Juddy  and  Raas 
Choked  each  other  till  both  saw  stars. 
Art  and  Bull-foot,  and  Nervy  and  Chet 
Have  had  many  a  mixup  we  wont  forget. 
Larry  and  Dexter,  and  Doc.  and  Bug 
Somehow  got  through,  but  they  never  plug. 
But  'taint  wise  to  tell  just  all  you'  know, 
This  all  transpired  a  year  ago. 
Still  if  all  we  hear  is  true. 
It's  the  same  old  place  with  a  brand  new  crew.

Stands   for  Mathematics, 
The  subject  we   all   dread; 
It  also  stands   for  "Muggsy," 
The  king  of   the  devils  red. 

Stands   for   the   answer 
For  which  we  vainly   strive; 
If  we  could  get  them  right. 
It's  a  cinch  we  all  would  thrive. 

Stands    for    temperature 
Which  over  us  does  creep 
When  under  the  eyes  of   "  Billy  " 
At  our  cribs  we   take  a  peep. 

Stands    for   , 

The  place  so  nice  and  warm, 
A  word  to  the  wise  is  sufficient; 
Get  busy  and  reform. 

Stands  for  endeavor, 

The  thing  we  often  make 

To  get  through  "  Johnny's  "  subject 

On  nothing  but  a  fake. . 

Stands   for   the   microscope, 
Which  makes  small  things  look  big. 
If  "  Billy  "   had  them  in  his  specs 
I  think  he'd  make  us  dig. 

Stands   for    average, 
Which  sometimes  gets  so  low; 
Sometimes   it   gets  still   lower, 
Then  comes   the  time  to  go. 

Stands   for  trouble. 
Of  which  we  have  our  share. 
There's   lots  of  it  in  math., 
So,  Freshmen,  have  a  care.

The  Tour  of  the  Faculty 


The  following  account  was  found  in  the  archieves  of  the  Chapel ;  The  tour  was  out- 
lined by  Longfellow. 

They  left  'T/ie  Beleagured  City"  by  the  "Light  of  the  Stars,"  and  wended  their 
way  to  "The  Terrestrial  Paradise,"  guided  by  "The  Celestial  Pilot."  After  walking 
into  "TomorroTv"  never  thinking  of  "Sleep"  they  saw  beneath  "The  Hemlock  Tree" 
"The  Child  Asleep"  dreaming  of  "The  Happiest  Land"  and  watched  over  by  "The 
Cood  Shepherd"  and  "The  Black  Night,"  Prof.  Howard  immediately  suggested  singing 
the  "Song  of  the  Bell"  to  "Beatrice"  "The  Child  Asleep." 

After  rendering  that  selection  they  journeyed  on  "To  the  River  Charles,"  singing 
"Remorse."  Following  along  the  banks  of  the  river  and  listening  to  "The  Slave  in  the 
Dismal  Sivamps,"  singing  the  "Wanderer's  Night  Songs"  and  becoming  tired  of  "the 
murmuring  pines  and  hemlocks,"  they  soon  found  themselves  in  the  vicinity  of  "Boston." 

They  journeyed  onward  until  they  found  themselves  near'T/ie  Castle  by  the  Sea," 
which  upon  investigation  by  Philip  was  found  to  be  the  "Wayside  Inn."  Here  they 
sat  down  to  a  hearty  meal  and  after  sipping  a  little  "Cataivba  Wine"  from  "The  Cohlel 
of  Life"  and  singing  the  "Drinking  Song"  they  unanimously  agreed  to  retire.  On  the 
way  to  their  room  which  was  "The  Haunted  Chamber"  they  passed  "The  Old  Clock 
on  the  Stairs."  Seated  upon  the  sill  of  "The  Open  Window"  the  never  sweet  quartet 
rendered  a  song  entitled  "The  Day  is  Done"  by  "Sir  Humphrey  Gilbert."  The  twink- 
ling of  "The  Evening  Star,"  attracted  the  attention  of  Johnny  and  as  he  called  them  all 
over  to  see  the  rare  phenomena  Dr.  Paige  tipped  over  "The  Sand  of  the  Desert  in  an 
Hour  Glass." 

After  the  faculty  had  quieted  they  were  sung  to  sleep  by  "The  Singers."  They 
dwoke  at  "Daybreak"  much  refreshed  and  eager  for  the  sights  around  the  Hub. 

At  the  breakfast  table  they  enjoyed  "The  Sermon  of  Si.  Francis,"  entitled  "Three 
Friends  of  Mine"  and  then  it  was  suggested  by  Dr.  Stone  that  they  take  "Paul  Reveres 
Ride."  This  did  not  meet  with  the  approval  of  all  as  some  wanted  to  see  "The  Haunted 
Houses"  and  "The  Statue  over  the  Cathedral  Door"  stuffed  with  "Excelsior"  while  others 
had  a  pressing  desire  to  see  the  paintings  of  "King  Robert  of  Sicily,"  "Hawthorne"  and 
"The  House  of  Epimitheus."  But  "Tabby"  knowing  that  there  would  be  "Children's 
Hour"  at  the  Public  Library  suggested  that  they  pass  "A  Summer's  Day  by  the  Sea." 
This  met  with  the  approval  of  all  and  they  decided  in  favor  of  Tabby.  After  arriving 
at  the  sea  shore  it  was  suggested  that  "The  Phantom  Ship"  be  chartered  and  take  a  sail 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


to  Plymouth.  This  was  done  and  in  a  short  time  the  good  ship  went  bounding  over 
"The  IVaves"  with  "The  Discoverer  of  the  North  Cape"  as  a  pilot  and  "The  Belfry 
of  Bruges"  as  a  landmark,  "The  Four  Winds"  blew  from  the  "Souse  East"  and  the 
merry  throng  was  seated  upon  the  top  of  the  cabin  singing  "Over  the  Bounding  IVaves," 
and  telling  stories  of  "The  Boy  and  the  Brook"  of  "The  Revenge  of  Rain  in-the-Face," 
and  "The  Secret  of  the  Sea." 

Soon  "The  Lighthouse"  loomed  up  like  ancient  "Olympus"  or  "The  Tower  of 
Prometheus  on  Mount  Caucasus,"  and  they  saw  the  "Children"  around  "The  Fire  of 
Drift  Wood." 

This  was  Plymouth  harbor  and  the  pilot  put  the  ship  up  into  the  wind  and  the 
faculty  stepped  gently  one  after  another  in  the  tender  "Endymion"  and  were  rowed  ashore 
by  Cooley  with  "The  Broken  Oar." 

Landing  upon  the  beach,  Osmun  went  searching  for  algae  known  as  Fucus,  a  species 
of  "SeaTveed."  Prof.  Gordon  in  hunting  for  snails  found  a  pretty  little  shell  and 
exclaimed  "The  Sea  hath  its  Pearls." 

Now  the  merry  makers  made  their  way  up  "The  Rope  Walk"  to  "The  Golden 
Mile  Stone"  and  they  all  sat  down  to  rest. 

During  the  few  moments  of  rest  Prof.  Mills  and  Mr.  Holcomb  had  a  warm  dis- 
cussion over  "Youth  and  Age"  and  the  subject  was  interrupted  by  Prof.  Brooks  who 
suggested  that  they  go  to  "Woodstock  Park"  3n<i  see  the  statues  of  "John  Alden"  and 
"Priscilla"  while  Prof.  Waugh  related  the  few  stories  connected  with  their  "Love  and 
Friendship"  and  "The  March   of  Miles  Slandish." 

After  plotting  the  park  and  noting  the  different  trees  Prof.  Waugh  made  the  motion 
that  they  embark,  as  he  saw  "The  Warden  of  the  Cinque  Ports"  coming  and  thought 
"The  Warning"  was  sufficient. 

After  partaking  of  a  light  lunch  below  they  all  congregated  on  deck  again  ready 
for  the  sail  back  to  "Boston." 

It  was  now  "Twilight"  and  the  jolly  crew  were  homeward  bound. 

On  their  way  out  they  saluted  "The  Cumberland"  with  "The  Bells  of  Lynn"  and 
started  in  singing  again,  while  Prof.  Goessmann  was  relating  the  story  of  "My  Lost  Child- 
hood." 

When  they  arrived  in  "Boston"  it  was  "Moonlight"  and  the  "Bells  of  San  Bias" 
tolled  them  that  it  was  time  to  hasten  to  "The  Meeting"  of  "The  Children's  Crusade." 

After  the  meeting  they  returned  to  "The  Haunted  Chamber"  and  discussed  the 
enjoyable  trip.  "There  is  'Something  left  Undone'  "  said  Prof.  Neal.  "Yes"  spoke 
up  Ach  Looey  "We  did  not  see  'The  Building  of  the  Ship'  but  is  too  late  now.  Let  us 
return   to  Amherst."

Between  Periods 

Under  the  shade  of  the  sheltering  trees, 
A  group  of  forms  is  seen. 
Some  are  fat,  some  are  short. 
Some  are  tall  and  lean. 

Some  smoke  their  pipes  of  joy  and  peace 
Some  lie  there  fast  asleep; 
A  few  discuss  their  m.orning's  work 
And  the  tens  they  did  not  reap. 

Then  all  too  soon  is  heard  the  bell. 
That  does  so  loudly  ring 
And  then  to  all  the  thought  does  come 
"How  fine  are  the  days  of  spring."

Spring  Fever 

When  the  days  are  getting  longer. 

And   the   river's   running   free. 
And  the  buckets  are  a-hanging 

On  the  sugar  maple   tree; 
We  know  the  snow  is  melting 

On  the  North  side  of  the  camps. 
Scattered  o'er   the  ridge  of  Toby, 

And  we  long  for  springtime  tramps. 

Just  forget  the  coming  hours 

Glarmg  on   the  schedule  card. 
It  won't  do  to  study  lessons 

When  the  fever  strikes  you  hard. 
When  all  Nature  seems  to  beckon. 

You  must  answer  to  the  call. 
Go  and  learn  what  she  can  teach  you 

'T'will  beat  Math,  Dutch,  French,  and  all. 

Start  some  morning  bright  and  early. 

Throw  all   thought  and  care  away. 
Tramp  until  you're  good  and  hungry. 

Buy  some  grub  along  the  way, 
Test  the  new  made  maple  syrup. 

While  your  at  the  sugar  camp. 
You  may  find  some  early  May  flowers 

For  a  souvenir  of  your  tramp. 


When  the  shadows  swing  to  eastward 

And  the  air  begins  to  chill. 
Then  its  time  to  hustle  homeward 

And  of  supper  get  your  fill. 
Don't  sit  up,  just  turn  in  early. 

Rest  your  weary  legs  and  brain. 
You  are  safely  through  the  fever 

Till  the  longing  comes  again.

Those  Bills  of  Daddy's 

Oh,  I  wish  I  had  a  miUion,  yes,  perhaps,  a  thousand  biUion, 
To  pay  the  bills  as  they  come  slowly,  slowly  from  upon  the  hills: 
For  I  worried  about  my  dinner,  every  day  a-growing  thinner. 
And  I  never  was  a  winner,  because  I  had  a  bunch  of  bills 
To  be  paid  to  "Daddy"  Mills. 

Then  I  felt  my  ribs  a  raving,  on  account  of  my  money  saving 
And  my  palate  had  a  craving,  for  a  juicy  oyster  stew: 
And  the  bills,  still  a  running,  kept  on  coming,  coming,  coming. 
Till  the  pockets  in  my  trousers,  with  the  bills  marked  overdue 
Burst  the  shabby  linings  through. 

Surely  I  lasted  till  September,  and  t'is  then  that  I  remember 
How  the  bills  still  kept  a  coming,  yes  a  coming  from  the  hills : 
What  a  lesson  it  was  teaching,  and  how  low  was  Daddy  preaching 
As  my  hand  went  slowly  reaching,  for  the  nice  new  crispy  bills 
Just  to  pay  dear  "Daddy"  Mills. 

Now  no  more  bills  am  I  a  paying  and  in  my  room  I  feel  like  staying 
While  dear  Daddy  still  is  sending,  yes  a  sending  all  my  bills. 
But  the  bills  they  will  diminish,  for  if  not  I  see  my  finish 
And  the  boys  will  call  me  Dinnis  and  it  all  adds  to  my  ills 
Which  were  caused  by  "Daddy"  Mills. 


But  now  my  troubles  are  all  over  and  my  heart  is  wreathed  in  clover 
And  as"Daddy"  held  his  paw,  he  surely  cleaned  me,  cleaned  me,  dry. 
Now  I  find  the  path  a  winding,  and  I  see  the  boys  a  dining 
And  the  bills  no  more  I'm  minding,  but  I  slowly  heave  a  sigh 
Waiting  for  them  bye  and  bye.

Prof.    Hasbrouck:    "Now,    Browne   you  haven't   any  breath   to   waste   on   this   nor 
have  I.      If  anyone  doesn't  understand  this  I  want  him  to  say  so."

Chase    (in    final    "exam."    in    Physics,  raising    his    hand)  :    "What    is    that    under 
'How'  ?" 

Prof.  Hasbrouck   (looking  at  the  word  indicated)  ;    "That's  water." 
Howe  looks  under  his  seat  and  everyone  laughs. 

Prof.   Holcomb:    "Mr.   Chase,  what  is  economics?" 
.Chase:    "Er',-economics  is  the  relation  of  men  to  women." 

Eastman  pauses  in  recitation  upon  the  love  poems  of  the  1  6th  century. 
Daddy:    "Perhaps  you  are  not  interested  in  that  subject.      You  may  sit  down,  Mr.

Charles  Francis  Allen.  This  busy  and  hard-plugging  youth  first  began  his  course 
of  events  in  the  city  of  Worcester,  sometime  in  January,  1 886.  He  is  a  graduate  of 
the  EngHsh  High  School,  but  never  let  his  mind  lead  him  to  athletics.  He  was  treas- 
urer of  the  class  in  his  freshman  year,  and  is  an  honorary 
member  of  the  Sons  of  Rest.  Charlie  is  a  member  of  the 
C.  S.  C,  and  is  often  known  around  College  as  "Dr." 
"Fat,"  "Bottle,"  "Pinkey,"  or  "Librarian." 
'Bottle"  is  a  great  one  for  the  ladies,  often  going  to  Smith 
on  a  fudge  party.  Very  few  can  lose  him,  and  he  is  a 
loyal  rooter.  If  there  were  a  ping-pong  team  or  a  marble 
team,  Charles  might  make  good,  but  as  it  is,  he  will  have  to 
continue  making  his  letters  in  books.  Charlie  is  going  to 
try  to  take  horticulture  and  landscape.  We  wish  him  suc- 
cess. 


John  Albert  Anderson.  Was  born  in  West  Brookfield,  July  1,  1884.  By  his 
courses  in  math,  he  is  able  to  figure  his  age  and  finds  it  to  be  2 1  years.  When  Albert 
was  a  "little  feller"  he  lived  in  North  and  West  Brookfield.  Having  played  foot-ball 
and  being  a  star  runner,  he  easily  found  himself  a  very  pop- 
ular alumnus  of  the  N.  B.  H.  S.  Albert  is  a  member  of 
the  "S"  club  of  "'08"  and  by  his  muscular  appearance 
made  the  class  rope-pull  and  foot-ball  teams.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  fraternity,  and  plays  Var- 
sity Football. 

By  his  upright  stature  and  military  tread  he  has  assumed 
the  names  of  "Major,"  "Blokey"  and  by  his  democratic 
spirit  and  gold  tooth  smile  for  all,  he  acquired  the  name  of 
"Andy."  "Blokey"  is  a  fine  fellow,  very  seldom  mingling 
with  the  fair  sex,  although  it  is  known  that  he  has  frequen- 
ted Westfield  somewhat.  For  his  love  of  nature  and  roam- 
ing disposition   "Blokey"   is  going  into  landscape.

Kenneth  French  Anderson.  This  good-natured  and  ever-obliging  youth  was 
born  in  Cambridge  sometime  before  the  23rd  of  June,  1887.  He  has  hved  in  Cam- 
bridge, RosHndale,  and  Boston  and  attended  the  West  Roxbury  High  School.  Owing 
to  his  "not  yet  but  soon"  style,  he  never  ventured  into  any 
athletics,  but  he  stands  a  fine  chance  of  making  the  dough- 
nut team  as  he  never  eats  the  holes.  Having  found  the 
easy-going,  swinging,  side  wheeler  so  obliging  and  so  honest 
in  all  his  efforts,  "Bush"  or  rather  "Shylock"  gave  him  the 
honor  of  being  store-keeper  when  he  was  out  on  business. 
"Sleuth"  is  a  terrible  sport,  having  bet  ten  or  fifteen  cents 
on  every  class  game  since  he  came  to  M.  A.  C. 
"Sleuth,"  "Teeter,"  "Creeper,"  or  "Mossy  Head"  as  you 
prefer,  will  study  agriculture. 


Ernest  Winfield  Bailey.  Was  first  captured  in  Worcester,  Mass.,  March  28, 
1885.  "Ernnie"  claims  that  he  is  21  years  of  age,  but  all  the  co-eds  are  of  an  adverse 
opinion.  After  successfully  passing  through  the  grammar  schools  and  the  Worcester 
South  High  School,  "Bill"  flipped  the  coin  and  decided  to 
enter  M.  A.  C.  with  '08.  This  was  a  lucky  move,  for  if 
little  Bill  had  ever  got  mixed  up  with  any  smaller  classes, 
his  lady-like  complexion  and  nice  silky  hair  would  have 
undergone  a  terrible  transformation. 

"Bill"  belongs  to  the  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity,  the  Man- 
dolin and  Stockbridge  Clubs,  and  the  Water  Cure  Society, 
and  he  is  a  member  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  This  name  "Bill" 
originated  from  the  song  of  "Bill  Bailey,"  which  was  one 
of  the  first  he  ever  played  on  his  mandolin.  "Bill"  has 
a  quiet  disposition  and  keeps  away  from  all  roughness. 
He  was  once  a  famous  basket-ball  player  on  the  girls'  team 
at  High  School,  and  made  his  winning  smile  playing  "cro- 
chet" with  the  ladies.      "Bill"  is  taking  "wheat."

Bradley  Wheelock  Bangs.  Uttered  his  first  war-hoop  in  Amherst,  July  3,  1885. 
Always  having  a  desire  to  obtain  knowledge,  and  to  make  something  from  nothing, 
sometime,  somewhere,  he  entered  with  '08  and  has  never  been  sorry.  Bradley  grad- 
uated from  the  Amherst  High  School  with  high  honors, 
having  taken  all  the  medals  (from  Millett's  to  the  school) 
on  the  evening  of  graduation.  Bradley  is  a  member  of  the 
C.  S.  C.  He  is  often  called  "Bud"  or  "Big  Beagle"  and 
delights  in  trimming  "Little  Beagle"  in  pool.  "Bud" 
pulled  on  the  Class  Rope  Pull  Team. 
As  "Bud"  was  born  the  day  before  the  4th,  we  can  readily 
see  why  he  takes  so  much  enjoyment  in  hunting,  fishing,  and 
the'  like.  He  is  a  regular  huntsman,  and  has  succeeded 
in  killing  nearly  all  the  big  game,  such  as  sparrows, 
squirrels  and  "suckers"  around  Amherst.  "Bud,"  think- 
ing he  stands  in  with  "the  Kid"  and  "Billy,"  is  going  to 
elect   chemistry. 


Thomas  Addis  Barry.  The  easy-going  chap  with  the  blue  eyes  and  pink  cheeks  was 
born  in  Southwick,  Mass.,  Nov.  18,,  1885.  Not  satisfied  here,  he  moved  about  in  a 
restless  disposition  until  finally  he  landed  in  Amherst.  Having  a  good-sized  head  and 
plenty  of  room  for  knowledge  he  reaped  what  he  could  from 
Hopkins  Academy  and  the  Northampton  and  Amherst 
High  Schools.  Thinking  that  he  did  not  know  it  all  yet, 
he  decided  to  polish  up  at  the  M.  A.  C. 
"Beagle"  is  quite  a  boy,  having  been  president  of  the  class 
during  the  freshman  year,  toastmaster  at  the  freshman  ban- 
quet, captain  of  the  class  sophomore  foot-ball  team,  and 
tried  real  hard  for  the  Varsity.  On  account  of  his  bus- 
iness-like appearance  and  his  "graft"  at  figures,  "Tom" 
was  chosen  the  assistant  manager  of  the  base-ball  team. 
"Johnnie, "knowing  his  qualities  as  a  "bluffer,"  chose  him 
to  "bluff"  out  the  weather  report  each  day.  He  is  above 
us  all  now,  as  he  rooms  in  the  Tower,  and  always  has  room 
for  another  on  a  "stormy"  night.  "Tom"  is  a  member  of 
the  C.  S.  C.  and  will  elect  math."

Persis  Bartholomew.  In  this  promising  young  lady  we  have  another  chaperon  and 
mother  for  1  908.  Although  not  entering  with  us  she  had  the  ability  and  perservance  to 
skip  a  peg  and  join  our  merry  throng.  She  was  born  in  Melrose  Highlands,  November 
27,  1885.  After  preparmg  for  a  higher  education  at  the 
Melrose  High  School  and  Simmons  College  she  came  to 
M.  A.  C.  for  a  specialty  in  the  Horticulture  profession. 
Miss  Bartholomew  is  a  very  noted  hostess  and  entertainer 
and  whenever  the  select  few  go  calling  they  are  always  wel- 
comed with  a  freezer  of  ice  cream  or  a  box  of  fudge. 
She  is  a  member  of  the  Peek-a-Boo  Fraternity.  She  and 
Miss  Turner  being  the  Charter  Members. 


Carleton  Bates.        This  good  looking(?)  youth  first  learned  the  art  of  house  keeping 
in  Salem,   Mass.,   May    12,    1886.      "Willie"   was  born  in   a  very   witchy  city   and  he 
retains  some  of  the  ancient  qualities  as  yet.    He  entered  the  Salem  High  School  in  i  900  and 
after    four    years    he    received    a    good    liberal    education. 
"Willie"   played   on   the   class  base   ball,   basket  ball,   and 
foot    ball     teams     and    used    his    head    at    critical     times. 
"Willie"    has    a    pull    with    Prof.    Mills    and    succeeded   in 
procuring    a    janitorship.      He    is    a    second    John    McLane 
and    any    Saturday    morning    you    will    find    him    hunting 
through    the   waste   boxes    for   relics   to   decorate   his   room. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  and  is  study- 
ing chemistry.

Lloyd  Warren  Chapman.  Practically  the  oldest  of  the  Pepperell  tribe  now  at  M. 
A.  C.  He  first  paddled  his  own  canoe  in  that  quaint  town  about  the  year  1885,  and 
having  the  power  of  speech  not  unlike  a  Webster,  he  found  himself  a  popular  youth  in 
the  Pepperell  High  School. 

By  his  mellifluous  sentences  and  pleasing  smile  he  enrap- 
tures all  the  ladies,  and  after  a  few  consoling  words,  he 
has  them  trained  so  that  a  call  would  not  be  improper. 
He  has  been  the  "Best  Man"  they  could  find  for  a  few 
weddings,  and  he  lives  in  hopes  of  being  married  himself. 
"Chappie"  harmonizes  with  the  "Kids"  tenor  in  the  choir, 
and  also  is  a  member  of  the  band,  glee  club  and  orchestra. 
He  has  been  vice-president  of  the  class  and  president  of 
the  Fussers'  Club,  '08.  He  has  great  analytical  powers, 
but  not  in  a  geometrical  way.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Q. 
T.  V.  fraternity,  S.  '08  Club  and  expects  to  study  chemistry 


Henry  Clinton  Chase.  Was  chased  into  the  dear  old  city  of  Lynn,  March  4, 
1885,  by  a  raw  north  wind.  He  has  been  chased  or  chasing  ever  smce.  He  was 
caught  long  enough  in  Swampscott  to  obtain  a  diploma  from  the  Swampscott  High  School 
which  he  used  as  a  pass-port  into  M.  A.  C.  During  his 
Freshman  year  he  right  manfully  protected  his  class  as 
Sergeant  at  Arms.  He  has  been  prominent  in  Athletics, 
having  played  a  good  game  at  foot-ball  and  a  star  game 
as  catcher  in  our  Sophomore  base-ball  game.  His  great- 
est athletic  event  was  his  sensational  work  as  end  on  the 
'06  Minstrel  show.  "Heime"  is  the  champion  penny 
pitcher  of  the  college.  He  plays  "with"  the  snare  drum  in 
the  band,  wears  his  trousers  turned  up,  is  a  member  of  the 
Co-ed  Fussing  Club,  the  "S"  '08  Club,  and  belongs  to  the 
C.  S.  C.  Fraternity.  He  is  on  the  1  908  Index  board,  and 
has  elected  biology. 

Perhaps  "Heime"  has  given  as  many  "cuts"  in  his  subject, 
"Shaving"  as  the  Kid  has  in  his  beloved  study  of  Alchemy.

OrtoN  Loring  Clark.  Here  we  have  the  champion  debater  of  the  class.  By  his 
gracefulness  as  a  man,  by  his  eloquence  as  a  speaker  and  by  his  earnestness  as  a  worker, 
he  has  found  himself  allied  to  the  notorious  ashbarrel  detective,  John  McLane.  Never 
mind,  "Orton,"  by  going  to  school  in  Dorchester,  Somer- 
ville.  Maiden  and  the  Foster  School,  and  by  deciding 
to  enter  M.  A.  C,  you  will  rank  with  the  highest.  Orton 
never  cared  to  play  the  games  of  life,  although  they  say 
he  has  played  "Drop  the  Pillow"  at  North  Amherst. 
This  is  a  rather  rough  game  for  him.  Orton  is  a  member 
of  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  fraternity  and  he  often  "lens"  his 
hours  of  surveying  to  the  little  posies.  Orton  thinks  he  is 
not  "Loring"  his  ambitions  by  giving  his  time  to  agriculture. 
He  was  born  in  Dorchester,   April    18,    1887. 


George  Robert  Cobb.     This  athlete  or  quoting  G.  Wurdz,  "A  dignified  bunch  of 

muscles,  unable  to  split  wood  or  sift  the  ashes"  was  born  in  South  Hadley,  Mass.,  Aug. 

26,    1885.      They  say  some  people  are  born  with  a  silver  spoon  in  their  mouth  but  we 

have   the  idea   that  he  was  born  with   a   foot  ball  or  base 

ball  in  his.      Ever  since  he  has  been  large  enough  to  move 

about  he  has   played   some   game   or   other.      "Roger"   has 

played  on   the   Varsity   Base   Ball,    Foot   Ball   and   Basket 

Ball  Teams.      He  also  sings  a  little  in  the  College  Choir, 

plays  in   the  band   and  is   a  member   of  the   Index   Board, 

"Roger"   is   next   year's   captain   in   Base   Ball   and  we   all 

wish  him  a  grand  success.      He  is  a  very  prominent  factor 

in  athletics  and  is  just  as  prominent  among  the  ladies. 

He  is  a  member  of  the  C.  S.  C.  and  will  elect  landscape.

William  John  Coleman.  Claims  that  on  October  27,  1885,  he  landed  at  Natick, 
but  this  is  disputed  by  his  colleague,  Hen  Gowdey.  "Bill"  has  always  lived  in  Natick 
and  was  graduated  from  the  High  School  of  that  town.  "Bill"  is  quick  to  learn  (some 
things,)  and  by  his  quickness  he  was  given  a  chance  to 
make  his  numerals  playing  basket-ball.  By  his  gentle  dis- 
position and  never-ceasing  patience  he  was  made  the  guard- 
ian and  nurse  of  our  only  child,  Craig  Gowdey.  Bill  has 
brought  him  up  well  and  now,  after  his  years  of  kind  de- 
votion, he  finds  time  enough  to  go  to  Springfield  every 
Sunday,  no  one  knows  what  for.  "Bill"  is  a  member  of 
the  C.  S.  C,  S.  '08  Club  and  landscape  is  his  choice. 


WiNTHROPE  AtheRTON  CumMINGS.  Belched  his  head  off  in  Belchertown,  December 
7,  1885.  He  acquired  his  education  at  the  Palmer  High  School,  and  while  there  he 
strengthened  the  base-ball,  basket-ball  and  track  teams.  This  boy  is  a  hard  worker,  and 
very  quiet,  but  somehow  he  is  acquainted  with  very  many 
of  the  fair  sex.  He  made  his  numerals  playing  base-ball, 
keeping  the  rain  out  of  the  right  field.  But  "for  a'  that" 
he  is  a  man.  He  is  claimed  by  the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity 
and  elected  landscape  gardening.

Leroy  Edward  Cutting.  "A  peculiar  contortion  of  the  human  countenance,  volun- 
tary or  involuntary,  superinduced  by  a  concatenation  of  external  circumstances,  seen  or 
heard,  of  a  ridiculous,  ludicrous,  jocose,  mirthful,  funny,  facetious  or  fanciful  nature,  and 
accompanied  by  a  cackle,  chuckle  chortle,  cachinnation, 
giggle,  gurgle,  guffaw  or  roar"  is  an  exact  description  of  our 
dear  friend  "Roy"  when  he  sees  a  joke.  Perhaps  we 
will  overlook  it,  as  he  was  born  in  the  noisy  "townlet"  of 
Pelham  June  4,  1 884.  He  used  to  walk  from  Pelham 
center  to  the  Amherst  High  School  for  four  years,  through 
the  "Cutting"  winds  of  winter,  and  beneath  the  raging 
radical  rays  of  the  summer  sun.  His  nickname  is  "Cut" 
and  "Prof.  Howard,"  knowing  of  his  ability,  never  gave 
him  a  "Cut"  in  his  subject  or  in  the  choir. 
Cut  is  a  member  of  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  and  will  elect 
chemistry. 


John  Daniel.      First  heard  the  surf  splash  on  Osterville  shores  April   1  6,    1  887.      He 

attended  the  grammar  schools  in  "Oysterville,"  but  graduated  from  the  Barnstable  High 

School.      "Jack"  is  a  quiet  sort  of  a  lad  and  is  seldom  heard  or  seen.      He  never  seems 

to  contribute  to  "Billy's"  egg-basket,  as  he  has  got  the  art 

of   study   down    to   a   science.      He   lives   far   down   on   the 

Cape,   and  only  gets  out  of  town  once  a  year  and  that  is 

when    he    comes    to    Amherst.      "Jack"    has    lived    on    the 

"sand   which"    is   there    for    1 9   years,    and   he   thinks   now 

that  if  he  elects  agriculture  he  might  learn  how  to  grow  a 

Cape   Cod   dinner.      He   is   a   member   of   the   Q.    T.   V. 

fraternity.

SteaRNES  LoTHROP  Davenport.  Here  we  have  the  John  D.  of  Amherst.  Stearnie 
was  a  good  scion,  and  was  grafted  to  the  town  of  North  Grafton,  Mass.,  December  10, 
1885.  He  took  a  thorough  business  course  in  the  pubhc  schools  of  that  "burg"  which 
enabled  him  to  find  employment  as  clerk,  salesman,  sten- 
ographer and  shipper  in  the  house  of  "Waugh  &  Conners." 
Stearnes  is  a  worker  and  there  are  times  that  he  hardly  has 
time  to  turn  around.  He  has  a  liking  for  math,  as  he  has 
stuck  to  it  for  two  years.  He  is  claimed  by  the  Kappa 
Sigma  Fraternity,  and  after  all,  he  is  going  to  stick  to 
horticulture,   as  he  can   "Grafton"  his   own  town. 


Arthur  James   Farley.      This  tall,   well-built  and   good  natured  piece  of  humanity 

was  born  in  Waltham,  September  2,   1  885.      He  played  fbot-ball  with  the  winning  Wal- 

'tham  eleven,  and  then  by  our  good  fortune  we  found  him  ever  ready  to  hold  his  own 

in  our  front  ranks.      "Art"  plays  Varsity  foot-ball,  although 

he  has  been  up  against  it.      We  all  wish  him  success  in  his 

future    attempts.      He   has   had   experience   at   the   oar   and 

was  a  good  man  on  the  Rope  Pull  team. 

As  "Artie"  was  always  a  good-looking  boy,  he  easily  found 

employment  in  the  "Watch  City."      Here  it  is  said  he  made 

faces  for  the  watches  but  we  are  ready  to  discredit  all  such 

statements.      "Art"  is  a  quiet  sort  of  a  fellow,  but  is  always 

on  hand  in  case  of   trouble.      He  is   a  member"  of  the  Q. 

T.  V.  S.  '08  Club  and  will  support  his  family  by  going  into 

agriculture.

Paul  AugusTIN  Davis.  Was  born  in  Lowell,  March  31,1  886.  Here  he  studied 
hard  and  eventually  came  to  Massachusetts  with  '08.  He  is  perhaps  one  of  the  most 
quiet  sort  of  lads  that  you  would  care  to  meet.  He  never  comes  around  and  mingles 
with  the  fellows  but  lives  a  life  of  recluse  in  his  room.  He 
is  a  pleasant  fellow  to  meet  and  to  talk  with  and  is  always 
on  hand  with  the  class  in  any  trouble.  Perhaps  most  of 
us  would  be  better  off  if  we  took  young  Paul  as  our  model. 
He  will  study  agriculture. 


Clifford  Dolan.  Bom  in  Hudson,  Mass.,  the  "Skidoo"  day  of  June  1884,  and 
soaked  into  his  head  all  possible  knowledge  obtained  from  the  public  schools  of  that  town. 
"Hersum"  is  his  maiden  name,  and  one  will  always  find  him  either  in  class-room  with 
"Babby"  or  taking  special  courses  from  Forristall.  "Her- 
sum" is  going  to  elect  agriculture  and  expects  to  plow  his 
way  through  the  world  and  reap  a  harvest.

"Townsend"    than    a 


Eastman.  This  clothes-pin  first  hooped  a  bucket  in 
1 9,  1 884.  This  dignified  bunch  of  muscles  was  more  of  a 
God-send.  But  Perley  has  been  a  good  worker,  having  the 
"Townsend"  him  through  the  schools  and  later  on  he  sent 
himself  to  "Aggie."  "Gramp,"  "Abbie,"  "Yeast  Cake" 
or  "Jackknife,"  as  he  is  called,  has  been  Sergeant  at  Arms 
and  he  has  had  many  a  perilous  encounter.  "Gramp"  is 
an  all  around  athlete,  and  the  trouble  is  that  he  is  always 
around,  and  on  account  of  his  muscular  appearance  he 
holds  the  teams  in  suspense.  "Gramp"  is  taking  a  few 
lessons  in  the  art  of  fussmg  and  always  attends  the  dances. 
He  is  not  so  bad,  after  all,  and  after  he  studies  a  few 
years  on  landscape  gardening  he  will  shape  into  a  proud 
young  man. 


Frank  Lawrence  Edwards.  We  don't  claim  this  Oriental  specimen  of  a  man  as 
Shakespeare's  Shylock,  but  had  he  been  livmg  at  that  time  we  are  afraid  that  Bassanio 
would  have  got  his.  "Bush  "  or  "Shylock,  "  to  be  more  exact,  gave  a  "weigh  "  his  first 
cry  of  "When  can  you  pay  your  bill?"  in  Boston,  May 
13,  1885.  As  he  has  lived  in  the  cities  of  Somerville  and 
Boston  all  of  his  life  we  expect  him  to  be  more  -or  less 
shrewd,  but  for  all  his  faults  he  is  a  game  one  and  has  taken 
a  good  many  hard  knocks  in  his  day.  He  received  his 
first  one  or  two  in  the  class  foot  ball  game,  where  he  played 
at  full-back.  Next  he  got  it  from  the  Freshmen  in  a  class 
mix-up.  No  one  "nose  "  how  much  "Bush"  "nose  "  about 
his  nose,  but  we  think  that  after  all  its  pushing  and  bump- 
ing and  squashing  its  crookedness  and  Roman  style 
have  departed.  Bush  kept  the  College  store  and  is  a  firm 
believer  in  the  cold  water  cure.  He  has  not  failed  to  have 
at  least  one  or  two  each  year  since  he  has  enlisted  with  '08. 
He  will  elect  agriculture,  as  his  brain  is  too  highly  devel- 
oped for  math.

Allan  Dana  FarRAR.  This  fattened  parasite  was  born  in  South  Framingham,  Decem- 
ber 30,  1884.  After  a  few  years  of  sporting  Hfe  in  that  "burg"  he  moved  to  Amherst 
and  graduated  from  that  High  School.  He  came  up  to  iVi.  A.  C.  and  looked  it  over 
and  '08  found  him  stowed  away  in  the  "Kids"  baby  car- 
riage Mr.  Farrar  was  Vice  President  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
and  a  member  of  the  Glee  Club.  He  played  foot  ball  and 
being  good  on  "Farrar"  way  shots  he  made  good  on  the 
basket  ball  team. 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.   fraternity  and  will  study 
biology. 


Parke  Warren   Farrar.      First  thought  of  entering  into  society  June    17,    1883,   in 

Keene,    N.    H.      On   account   of   his    "Keeneness"    and   good   nature   he   has   worked   at 

many  different  trades.      He  has  been   an   advertising  agent,    a   salesman,   postmaster   and 

conductor,  and  one  would  think  by  all  these  trades  that  he 

should    be    married    and    settled    down.      He    changed    his 

mind  and  came  to  Massachusetts,  where  he  was  claimed  by 

the  Kappa  Sigma   fraternity.      Parke   is   another  quiet  lad, 

but  often  goes  fussing  for  a  little  vacation.      Parke  has  had 

plenty  of  education,  having  been  to  Newport  High  School, 

St.   Johnsbury  Academy,   Springfield   High  School  and  now 

he    feels   rather   confident   that   he    can   elect   math,    without 

getting  stuck.

Clifton  LeROY  Flint.  The  town  of  Dedham  has  produced  some  "dead  ones"  but 
on  July  I  6,  1  884,  it  broke  the  record  and  gave  to  us  a  species  closely  allied  to  steel, 
Cliffie  Flint.  Mr.  Flint  attended  the  public  schools  of  Dedham  and  Amesbury,  and  in 
the  latter  town  he  was  noted  as  a  foot-ballist,  and  ice-polo- 
ist.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  and 
is  generally  known  as  "Clif."  Even  if  his  name  is  Flint, 
he  has  never  struck  a  "light"  course  as  yet,  but  we  hope 
that  next  year  he  will.  "Clif"  has  promenaded  around 
Mt.  Holyoke  and  Smith,  and  studied  the  different  curves 
and  character  of  the  road  beds.  He  is  good  at  this  and 
expects  to  elect  landscape. 


Chester  Socrates  Gillett.  Was  not  bom  in  Athens,  as  one  would  anticipate, 
but  started  his  manly  career  in  Southwick,  Mass.,  some  time  in  May,  1884.  He  studied 
about  "Socrates"  in  the  Westfleld  High  School,  and  came  to  M  A  C  to  live  the  man. 
"Chet,"  or  as  we  will  call  him,  Socrates,  has  many  like- 
nesses to  this  venerable  philosopher.  He  is  pious,  full  of 
self-control,  and  has  unfailing  powers  of  endurance.  Soc- 
rates once  said  "To  want  nothing  is  divine;  to  want  as 
httle  as  possible  is  the  nearest  possible  approach  to  the 
divine  life."  So  it  is  with  this  Socrates.  Like  his 
ancestor,  he  is  "observant,  acute  and  thoughtful,"  and 
exercises  his  mental  powers  as  a  pastime.  He  is  just  as 
true  a  patriot  to  the  class  as  Socrates  was  to  ancient  Greece. 
"Chet"  belongs  to  the  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  and  is 
taking  biology.

Kenneth  Edward  Gillett.  First  trilled  with  the  frogs  in  Southwick,  Mass.,  March 
28,  1885.  After  graduating  from  the  Westfield  High  School  he  came  to  M.  A.  C. 
While  in  High  School  he  captained  the  track  team  and  played  on  the  basket  ball  and 
foot  ball  teams.  By  his  winning  ways  and  business 
like  manner  he  was  elected  Assistant  Manager  of  the  Foot 
Ball  team.  He  is  a  member  of  the  College  Senate,  Frater- 
nity Conference,  Captain  of  the  Varsity  basket  ball  team, 
captain  class  basket  ball  team  and  played  on  the  class 
foot  ball  team.  Perhaps  the  "Co-eds"  would  like  him  to 
be  manager  of  the  Croquet  team.  We  will  see  what  we 
can  do  for  him.  He  and  Heime  are  the  only  ones  ever 
known  to  eat  a  freezer  full  of  ice  cream.  This  was  done 
at  an  exhibition  grub  match  at  Draper  Hall. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  <I>2K  fraternity  and  will  study  land- 
scape. "Gillie"  is  at  home  every  night  but  Sunday. 
"Wilson"  that's  all. 


Carlton  Craig  Gowdey.      This  pigmy  was  found  hiding  under  a  piece  of  sea-weed  on 

the  shores  of  Bridgetown,  Barbados,  December  I  2,  I  884.      He  was  taken  good  care  of 

and  eventually   found  himself   seeking   knowledge.      After   going   to   school   in   Harrison, 

he  yearned  for  a  change  and  with  a  pocket  full  of  lemons, 

Beeman's  Pepsin  Gum  and  a  chest  of  sea-sick  powders,  he 

sailed  for  New  York.      Here  he  heard  of  M.  A.  C.  and 

with  his  same  appetite  for  knowledge  he  entered  with  '08. 

He  has  a  few  childish  pranks  left  yet  but  his  nurse  "Bill' 

Coleman  is  doing  fine  with  him.      Gowdey,  or  "Pamelia" 

or  "Amelia"  is  "crazy"  over  bugs,  and  expects  to  study 

biology,    ultimately   branching   into   entomology.      He   is   a 

member  of  the  C.  S.  C.

Herbert  Kendall  Hayes.  Joined  the  society  of  this  world  at  North  Granby,  Conn., 
March  II,  1 884.  He  strove  for  a  little  learning  at  Gushing  Academy,  where  he  pre- 
pared for  M.  A.  G.  This  light-haired  youth  has  always  the  same  winning  smile,  but 
it  lost  its  combination  on  Prof.  Howard's  course.  He  is 
a  shark  at  pitching  pennies,  having  bought  the  receipt  from 
"Heime."  He  never  goes  fussing  on  "Hayesy"  days,  and 
always  keeps  good  hours.  He  got  the  habit  from  "Soc- 
rates" Gillett.  "Smiler"  is  a  member  of  the  Kappa  Sig- 
ma fraternity  the  Y.   M.  G.  A.   and  will  study  biology. 


William  Llewellyn  Howe.     "  'Howe'  Would  You  Like  to  Spoon  With  Me?" 
has  been  sung  ever  since  July  3,   1885,  in  Marlboro,  Mass.      This  has  been  his  song  for 
years  and  at  last  he  has  found  a  girl  in  Amherst. 
He   graduated   from   the   Marlboro   High   School   and   later 
decided  to  come  to  M.  A.   G.      Howe  claims  that  he  has 
never  done  "nothin"   to  "nobody"  but  somebody  has  done 
something    to   his   body.      Howe,    in    appearance,    resembles 
Huss's  "Kleiner  Muck"  and  with  his  stocky  build  and  side- 
wheel  motion  he  was  given  a  chance  for  a  trial  spin  in  the 
College   pond.      Howe   is   a   great   fusser,    and   his   winning 
smiles  and  witty  witticisms  have  made  many  a  close  friend. 
He  is  anxious  for  a  "graft,"  so  he  will  elect  horticulture.

James  Augustus  Hyslop.  This  far-sighted  Amoeba  first  thought  of  Entomology  in 
Chicago,  July  7,  1884,  where  he  got  sick  eating  "tainted  meat."  He  has  had  a  good 
prep.,  coming  from  the  Rutherford  High  School.  James,  or  "Nervy  Nat,"  has  been  the 
president  of  the  class,  plays  in  the  orchestra,  the  band,  yells 
in  the  choir  and  is  the  artist  of  the  Index.  James  got  a 
few  bumps  playing  football  on  the  class  team  and  got  other 
bumps  from  the  New  Jersey  mosquitoes.  "Naty  Pinkle- 
toe"  hopes  that  after  his  course  in  entomology  he  will  be 
able  to  reduce  the  size  of  the  mosquito,  if  not,  he  can 
reduce  the  bump.  "Lolly  Pop"  has  changed  a  great  deal 
since  he  first  bought  them  "two  for  a  cent,"  and  after  four 
years  he  will  be  completely  changed  into  a  "man." 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.,  S  '08  Club  and  is  taking 
the  biology  course. 


DORSEY   Fisher   Ingalls.      This   young   "Fisher"    man    first   learned   how   to   hook   a 

sucker  in  the  little   town  of  Cheshire,   September   20,    1 883.      After   going   through   the 

Adams  High  School  and  keeping  on  the  sunny  side  of  the  ladies  he  was  ushered  in  to 

M.  A.   C.   with   '08  and  has  improved  much  since. 

"Dort"  is  a  particular  friend  of  "Bush"  Mills  especially  at 

the   end   of   each   week.      "Dort"   has   been   shining   up    to 

the  ladies  for  some  time  and  has  become  very  proficient  in 

the   art.      He  is  a  lover  of   the  vile  weed   and  relies  upon 

Joe  Beals  for  cast  off  pipes.      If  he  enjoys  them  let  him 

smoke  here  rather  than  hereafter. 

"Dort"   is  a  member  of  the  Q.   T.   V.   fraternity  and  will 

study  agrotechney.

Raymond  HobaRT  Jackson.  First  listened  to  the  birds  sing  in  Amherst,  May  22, 
1885.  He  attended  the  schools  in  that  town  and  graduated  from  the  Amherst  High 
School.      As  "Snap"  is  a  quiet  sort  of  a  lad  and  very  careful  not  to  overwork  himself, 

he    decided    to    stay    in   Amherst    and    go    to    M.    A.    C. 

"Snap"  played  center  on  the  class  football  team,  and  find- 
ing he  had  plenty  of  wind  he  entered  the  band.  He  also 
is  a  member  of  the  Glee  and  Mandolin  Clubs,  and  belongs 
to  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa.      He  will  study  chemistry. 


Harry   Milliken   Jennison.      The   young   "Walnut"    first   studied   about   the    Para- 

moceium  in  the  stagnant  waters  of  the   Blackstone  River  in  Worcester  July  24,    1 885. 

After  studying  hard  in  the  neighboring  schools  "Millie"  with  the  advice  of  his  elders 

decided  in  favor  of  M.  A.  C.      "Doc."  as  he  is  more  often 

called  is  a  great  speaker  and  has  a  pleasant  and  articulate 

mode    of    persuasion.      With    his    dress  suit    and    winged 

collar  and  his  high  set  "little  head,"  he  may  be  likened  to 

the    true    Daniel    Webster.      "Doc"    made    the    Burnham 

Eight,    was   manager   of    the   class   base   ball    team,    and    is 

assistant  manager  of  the  Varsity   Basket   Ball  Team.      He 

also  is  a  member  of  the  "S,"  "'08"  club,  and  a  member 

of  the  C.  S.  C.   Fraternity. 

As  first  Sergeant  of  Company  C.  he  struts  around  with  his 

head  back  and  his  pseudopod  out  and  makes  a  hit  with  the 

Freshmen.      He  also  shacks  the  Laundry  about  College. 

"Walter"  will  study  biology.

Frederick  Andrew  Johnson.  Here  we  have  the  "famous"  Johnson  so  often  heard 
about  in  the  Enghsh  class.  He  was  born  next  door  to  "Archie"  Hartford  in  Westford 
Mass.,  May  25,  1887.  After  passing  through  Westford  Academy  he  decided  in  favor 
of  M.  A.  C.  Since  that  time  he  has  been  a  very  inter- 
esting factor  and  his  growth  and  development  have  been 
wonderful.  He  is  a  large,  powerful  (?)  youth  and  always 
has  a  glad  hand  for  every  one  except  the  (Co-eds).  To 
"Ginger"  or  "Big  Raz"  as  he  is  called  we  fellows  owe 
much  thanks  for  his  kind  contribution  of  "Pseudonyms." 
"Ginger"  played  on  the  class  base  ball  and  foot  ball  teams 
and  is  a  member  of  the  C.  S.  C.  and  "S"  '08  Club.  He 
will  elect  biology. 


Thomas  Henry  Jones.  Here  we  have  "Tad"  Jones,  not  of  Yale,  but  of  Massachu- 
setts. He  began  his  quite  simple  life  in  Pawtucket,  R.  I.,  September  25,  1885. 
"Tad"  has  lived  in  nearly  every  town  in  Massachusetts,  but  finally  he  was  ostracized  to 
R.  I.  Here  he  developed  into  an  athlete,  and  he  tells  us 
that  he  played  foot  ball  and  base  ball  while  a  student  in 
the  Oliver  Ames  High  School.  "Tad"  has  made  his 
numerals  by  playing  foot  ball  and  on  the  rope  pull  team. 
"Tad"  is  a  quiet  sort  of  a  fellow  and  will  never  go  out 
of  town  unless  "Ginger"  goes.  He  very  seldom  associates 
with  the  ladies,  his  only  friend  being  his  pipe.  He  would 
make  a  fine  "Parson." 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.  and  will  elect  biology.

David  Laruetsius  Larsen.  Young  "Dave"  first  noticed  the  golden  sun  set  in  Stock- 
holm, Sweden,  September  I  8,  1  886.  After  bidding  farewell  to  old  Sweden  he  came  to 
the  U.  S.  and  moved  to  Peekskill,  N.  Y.  From  here  he  went  to  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  and 
finally  came  to  Amherst.  "Dave"  has  that  persistency 
allied  to  his  ancestors  and  always  is  ready  to  uphold  the 
rights  of  '08.  In  fact,  he  did  so  well  that  he  had  his 
hand  in  a  sling  for  quite  a  while.  "Dave"  is  somewhat 
of  a  florist  and  started  in  raising  peanuts  but  they  turned 
out  to  be  sweet  peas  and  was  arrested  for  "larceny." 
"Dave"  is  a  member  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  and 
will  study  horticulture. 


Lai  Kwei  Liang.  This  Oriental  gentleman  of  whom  we  are  all  so  proud  was  found 
in  a  package  of  tea  in  Canton,  China  in  the  year  of  1  883.  He  studied  his  native  lan- 
guage in  Tientsin  from   1  890  till  1  90 1    and  then  having  the  desire  to  become  proficient  in 

the  art  of  growing  rice  he  came  to  America  with  His  Ex.  

Sir  Chentung  Liang  Cheng,  Chinese  Minister  to  the  United 
States  in  1 903.  After  coming  to  America  he  went  to 
Amherst  and  prepared  for  M.  A.  C.  at  the  Amherst  High 
School.  It  is  quite  an  honor  to  have  with  us  a  gentleman 
of  so  much  renown  and  he  is  just  as  good  as  his  pedigree 
given  to  him  by  Abbie  Eastman.  "Lai"  is  a  fellow  who 
always  believes  in  a  good  time  and  never  has  he  missed  a 
class  banquet.  The  first  one  which  he  went  to,  he  induged 
in  all  the  festivities  of  the  evening  and  then  was  looking  for 
more.  He  is  a  fellow  who  is  never  "Liang"  around  but 
very  active  and  somewhat  of  a  tennis  shark.  It  is  rumored 
that  he  won  a  series  of  games  from  Gowdey.  Liang  will 
elect  biology.

Danforth  Parker  Miller.  Was  found  singing  "Rigity  Gig  and  Away  we  go" 
in  the  archives  of  the  City  Hall  in  Worcester  October  28,  1  888.  He  was  graduated 
from  the  Worcester  South  High  and  entered  with  '08  at  Massachusetts.  "Dan"  is  a 
member  of  the  Signal  Board,  is  class  Historian,  a  member 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Hash  Kicker's  Union.  Each 
year  he  moves  nearer  to  the  Co-ed  table  and  gets  his  style 
from  the  fair  ones.  "Smiler"  Hayes  says  he  is  a  great 
fusser  but  no  symptoms  have  been  noticed  as  yet.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  fraternity  and  will  study

George  Paige.      Was  bom  in  Charlestown,   Mass.,  July   15,    1883.      After  becoming 

acquainted  with  everybody  in  Charlestown  he  moved  out  here  where  he  could  find  many 

more  and  increase  his  acquaintances.      After  going  the  "Rounds"  in  the  Amherst  High 

School  he  had  an  inclination  to  come  to   M.   A.   C.      We 

are  all  glad  that  "Roundy"  as  he  is  called  did  this,  as  he 

has   been    energetic   worker    for   the    foot   ball    team   having 

played  on  the  Varsity  for  quite  a  while.      When  "Roundy" 

is    on    a    trip   he   has    a    resemblance    to    the   Ancient   King 

Tantalus.      King   Tantalus   suffered   in    Hades    the    agonies 

of  hunger  and  thirst,  which  were  always  in  sight  but  beyond 

reach.      "Roundy"   says   "The   table   d'hote   dinners   which 

he   gets   are   about   as   bad   and   besides   it   costs   him   quite 

a   lot   to    feed."      "Roundy"   is   a   good   classman    and   we 

all  wish  him  success.      He  is  a  member  of  the  Q.   T.   V. 

fraternity  and  will  study  agriculture.

School  he  decided  to  roll 


Was  born  in  some  isolated  town  in  Connecticut  by  the  name  of 
t.  After  going  through  the  Windsor  High  and  Mt.  Hermon 
along  with  '08,  at  M.  A.  C.  Perhaps  "Bob"  is  the  only 
fellow  in  the  class  whom  the  "Co-eds"  really  like.  With 
his  cute  smiles  and  golden  curls  as  well  as  his  handsome 
ties  which  he  earned  pitching  pennies  he  has  broken  the 
hearts  of  many  a  fair  maiden.  He  actually  cares  nothing 
for  them?  "Bob"  is  a  member  of  the  K2  fraternity,  is 
Editor-in-Chief  of  the  Index,  was  class  president,  played 
on  the  class  baseball  team,  is  on  the  Senate.  The  Frater-

years  old  but  the  Co-eds  figure  it  to  be  23  and  he  does  not  go  over  to  Draper  Hall  as 

he    used    to.      "Johnnie"    made    good    on    the    Somerville  

Foot  Ball  Team  and  came  to  M.  A.  C.  to  do  the  same. 
He  is  one  of  the  Reading  Room  Directors  a  member  of 
the  Signal  Board  and  Manager  of  the  Basket  Ball  Team. 
"Phil"  is  good  on  telling  his  troubles  to  the  Co-eds  whom 
he  knows  will  sympathize  with  him,  he  never  tells  them 
to  us.  Johnny  is  a  sticker  so  was  Green,  but  he  is  doing 
better  now.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Phi  Sigma  Kappa 
and  will  plug  on  wheat.

E  BiGELOW  Reed.  Was  born  in  Brookfield,  Mass.,  July  8,  1884.  As  he  is 
sort  of  a  fellow  and  cares  httle  for  the  society  of  the  "Silk  Stocking"  class  he 
it  a  wise  move  to  go  to  the  large  city  of  Worcester.  Here  he  studied  hard  as 
he  always  does  and  after  a  few  years  of  hard  persistent 
work  found  himself  among  the  members  of  the  South  High 
School.  Here  he  spent  four  long  years  and  later  entered 
Massachusetts  with  the  class  of  1908.  "Biggie"  very  sel- 
dom mingles  with  the  fellows  but  when  he  does  takes  up  a 
lot  of  room.  When  he  and  Verbeck  get  together  there  is 
no  room  for  anyone  else.  He  never  goes  fussing  and  no 
one  knows  what  he  does  to  take  up  his  spare  time,  unless 
he  puts  it  in  at  plugging.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Kappa 
Sigma  fraternity  and  will  elect  agriculture,  having  a  good 
pull  with  Prof.  Cooley.  He  is  the  trainer  for  Cooley's 
fast  trotter,  "Sapolio." 


William  Swift  Regan.      This  anything  but  "Swift"  piece  of  human  nature  was  born 

in  Williamsburg,   Mass.,   the  21st  of  August    1885.      "Willie"   attended  the  schools  in 

Northampton  and  having  a  creeping  desire  for  bugs  came  to  M.  A.   C.      As  "Bill"  is 

so  "Swift"  he  made  good  on  the  class  basket  ball  team  and 

helped  us  out  immensely.      "Bill"  is  an  Honorary  member 

of  the  "Sons  of  Rest"  and  "Never  Sweat"  Clubs  and  has 

an    application    in    for    membership    to    the    fussing    club. 

"Bill"  is  a  fine  fisherman  but  Prof.  Gordon  seems  to  think 

that    "Binary    Fission"    is    the   best    for    "Willie."      He   is 

a  member  of  the  K2  fraternity  and  will  study  biology.

William  Francis  Sawyer.  This  gifted  musician  and  five  cent  sport  first  uttered  his 
notes  of  harmonious  music  in  the  town  of  Sterhng,  September  20,  1887.  He  went  to 
the  Sterling  Schools  from  the  lowest  to  the  highest  and  now  he  is  Sterling  all  through. 
"Tom"  as  he  is  called  is  an  allround  sport  and  tries  real 
hard  to  make  good  where  ever  he  goes  but  has  a  little 
trouble.  He  has  caught  the  habit  of  fussing  from  Clinton 
King,  his  room  mate  and  there  is  no  cure  for  him  now. 
He  never  played  the  games  of  life  except  lawn  tennis  and 
he  is  a  shark  at  this.  Tom  plays  in  the  College  orchestra, 
is  a  member  of  the  Q.   T.   V.   and  will  elect  horticulture. 


Leroy  Altus  ShatTUCK.      Is  another  member  of  the  Pepperell  tribe  and  first  smoked 

Indian  tobacco,  March  29,   1887  in  the  Pepperell  plains.      After  travelling  around  with 

the  big  boys  Leroy   finally   sneaked  into   High  School   but   they  say  he  had   no   trouble 

in   sneaking   out.      He   played   base   ball    and    foot   ball    at 

High   School   and   after   coming  to  Aggie  he  was  listed  in 

the  hall  of  fame.      The  Rogues  Gallery  would  have  been 

good    but    Larry    showed    improvement    each    day    and    he 

missed    the   opportunity.      "Leo"   played   on   the   class    foot 

ball,    base    ball    and    basket   ball    teams,    has    been    captain 

of  the  class  as  well  as  the  "Prexy"  and  perhaps  he  will  be 

up  as  a  candidate  for  the  fussing  club.      Larry  has  roomed 

with    two   "hustlers"    as   he   says,    Jas.    Draper   and   Heime 

but  Larry  has  been  "Hustled"  once  or  twice  himself. 

He   is  a   member   (if   the   C.   S.    C.    "S"    '08   Club   and   is 

studying  to  be  a  horticulturist.      Let  us  wish  him  success.

Frank  Eugene  Thurston.  As  "Daddy"  Mills  says  "thirst  is  the  strongest  word  in 
the  English  language,"  why  should  not  "Jake"  be  one  of  the  strongest  in  the  class  as  he 
was  born  with  a  "Thurston"  his  lips  May  30th  1 88-7,  in  Worcester,  Mass.  "Jake" 
got  a  good  prep  in  Worcester  with  the  other  Worcesterites 
and  enrolled  with  naughty  eight.  "Jake"  or  "Spud"  is 
the  progenitor  of  many  a  merry  song  and  his  latest  is  "The 
Merry  Bowl."  At  the  table  "Spud"  has  all  the  fellows 
outclassed  in  polished  etiquette.  He  is  a  poet  of  no  mean 
ability   and  his   latest  production   is: 

"Crisp    green    notes, 
A  gay  p — rade. 
Two  tired  sports. 
In  bed  are  laid." 
He  will  study  agronomy  and  is  claimed  by  the  Phi  Sigma 
Kappa,   and  "S"   '08  Club. 


Olive  May  Turner.      Miss  Olive  May  Turner  was  bom  in  Amherst,  September  20, 

1  886.      After  completing  a  course  in  the  High  School  of  that  town  she  decided  to  come  to 

Massachusetts.      We  are  all  glad  that  she  did  for  such  a  class  as  ours  needs  a  chaperone 

and  a  mother.      "May"  has  never  played  on  the  class  teams 

as  we  know  of  but  it  is  rumored  that  she  and  Dan  Miller 

were    trying    out    for    the    Marble    team.      May    is    a    very 

pleasant  girl  to  meet  although  most  of  us  have  never  really 

been  introduced  to  her.      She  always  has  a  pleasant  smile 

and  a  sweet  good  morning,  now  and  then  commenting  upon 

the  weather.      She  acquired  quite  a  pull  with   Prof.  Blake 

and  it  looks  now  as  if  she  would  elect  horticulture.      We 

hope  the  course  "May  Turner"  out  well  quahfied  to  uphold 

the  standard  of  '08  of  which  she  is  so  proud. 

She  is  a  member  of  the  Peek-a-boos.

William  Ffjanklin  Turner.  "String"  as  we  boys  like  to  call  him  was  born  at  New- 
ington  N.  H.  May  6th,  1887.  They  say  that  "String"  when  young  had  the  misfortune 
to  get  tangled  up  in  a  wringer  and  when  he  came  through  he  was  more  or  less  elongated. 
Nevertheless  it  had  no  effect  upon  his  brain  as  "string" 
stands  good  in  his  class  and  no  one  has  anything  against 
him  as  a  mathematician.  He  has  attended  the  public 
schools  in  Reading  and  after  a  fashion  came  with  '08  to 
M.  A.  C.  "String"  is  at  all  times  one  of  the  boys  and 
always  believes  in  doing  the  right  thing  by  everybody,  he 
even  says  "grace"  at  the  breakfast  table.  He  took  his 
room  mate  "Deker"  Howe  over  to  the  show  in  Holyoke 
one  evening  and  if  I  recollect  rightly  came  home  without 
him.  "Bill,"  "String,"  "Jack  Sprat"  or  "Dubrey"  as  he 
is  called  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity  and  "S" 
'08  Club  and  he  will  elect  landscape. 


Roland  Hale  Verbeck.      This  colossal  was  found  stuck  on  a  pedestal  in  the  public 

Gardens,    Boston,    January    1 8,    1 886.      Having   been    given    a    good    understanding   he 

weathered  many  a  winter  without  losing  his  equilibrium.      He  passed  through  the  schools 

in  Maiden,  no  one  knows  through  which  doors  but  at  any 

rate  he  had  gray  matter  enough  to  enter  with  '08.      After 

coming  here  and  doing  his  best  he  has  won   many   friends 

by  his  social  smile  and  attractive  manner.      It  is  said  that 

"Dowie"  borrowed   Bill  Craighead's  shoes  one  day  to  go 

to  an  informal  and  after  getting  tangled  up  with  the  many 

feet  and  losing  one  shoe  he  has  been   called   "Cinderella" 

ever  since.      He  has  a  contract  with   a  shoe  firm   to   make 

the    "Verbeck    Plantation"    a    very    tasty    shoe    for    ladies. 

Jud  Wright  being  the  Agent. 

"Dowie"   will  elect  agriculture. 

He  is  a  member  of  the  <1>2K  fraternity.

Thomas  Francis  Waugh.  This  gifted  speaker  was  born  in  Worcester  March  26, 
1 886.  After  completing  his  course  in  the  High  School  he  became  a  prominent  factor 
in  the  "H.  A."  debating  society  and  decided  to  come  to  M.  A.  C.  to  take  the  course 
under  Prof.  Mills,  his  guardian.  "Tom"  is  a  notable 
speaker  and  easily  won  first  prize  on  the  Burnham  eight. 
He  has  several  medals  which  he  has  won  but  no  one  has 
ever  seen  them  except  "Tom."  He  is  a  favorite  among 
the  Smith  College  Girls  and  enjoys  their  company  at  all 
the  dances.  "Tom"  is  a  member  of  "Bum's  Aid  Society 
and  the  "Never  Flunks." 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity  and  is  studying 
biology. 


Theoren  Levi  Warner.  "Levi"  was  bom  in  East  Hampton,  June  13,  1884. 
After  going  through  the  schools  in  Sunderland  and  Amherst  he  decided  to  come  with  the 
bunch  to  M.  A.  C.  "Levi"  is  a  little  fellow  but  very  fast  not  only  physically  but  men- 
tally and  morally.  He  entered  athletics  at  High  School 
and  then  helped  us  out  at  College.  He  played  on  the 
class  base  ball  team  and  the  Varsity  in  his  Sophomore 
year,  and  was  President  of  the  class  during  the  second 
semester.  "Chet"  is  a  bright  active  young  man  and  very 
seldom  goes  out  of  an  evening.  Perhaps  he  would  if  his 
big  brother  was  not  around.  Next  year  he  may  loosen  up 
a  little  and  see  part  of  Pelham  by  moonlight.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity  and  will  elect  math.

Joseph  Worcester  Wellington.  "Joe  Beals"  came  to  this  merry  world  when 
a  mere  boy  March  1  st  1 886  in  the  village  of  Waltham.  Joe  has  a  brother  who  was 
fortunate  to  graduate  from  Massachusetts  and  who  kept  a  watchful  eye  over  him  during 
his  first  two  years.  But  after  Dick  went  away  Joe  began 
a  career  which  no  fellow  has  ever  been  able  to  cope  with 
since.  After  leaving  the  Waltham  High  School  Joe  en- 
tered with  '08  as  a  quiet  little  fellow  but  soon  studied  how 
the  big  boys  did  things  and  it  was  not  long  before  he  was 
trying  out  a  few  Freshmen  himself.  On  one  dark  night 
he  had  two  Pee  Wees  up  in  a  tree  singing  him  to  sleep. 
Whenever  there  is  any  "rough  housing"  to  be  done  Joe  is 
always  there  feet  first,  and  that  is  why  so  many  panels 
have  been  missing.  He  was  manager  of  the  class  basket 
ball  team  and  tried  for  the  class  foot  ball  team  but  on 
account  of  a  scratch  over  his  eye  he  was  ordered  by  a  phy- 
sician to  give  it  up.  He  had  the  idea  that  he  was  good  on 
math,  and  went  to  Rennselaer  Polytech  but  finding  the 
fellows  much  unlike  the  M.  A.  C.  boys  came  wandering 
back  with  us  again.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V. 
fraternity  and  "S"  '08  Club  and  will  elect  landscape. 


HeRMON  Temple  Wheeler.  Young  "Bull  Foot"  was  born  in  Acton,  Mass.,  Jan- 
uary 25,  1  886.  After  going  through  the  Concord  High  School  he  came  to  M.  A.  C. 
with  his  little  gray  valise  and  has  stayed  for  some  time.  He  is  a  fine  soldier  and  when 
the  Capt.  reads  the  clause  "Heels  together  and  toes  out" 
Wheeler  gets  angry.  He  can  put  toes  together  and  heels 
out  and  by  walking  backward  fulfills  the  requirements. 
He  was  Capt.  of  the  Rope  Pull  Team  and  Class  Captain 
during  his  Freshman  year.  "Bull  Foot"  is  a  nice  fellow 
to  meet  and  always  has  a  pleasant  smile  for  all  his  class 
mates.  "Hermon"  or  "Human"  is  an  expert  on  raising 
crops  especially  of  "hair."  He  will  study  horticulture 
and  undoubtedly  will  profit  by  it.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity.

Albert  Lemuel  Whiting.    "Lem"  was  born  in  Stoughton,  Mass.,  May  12,  1885. 

He  is  a  bright  looking  fellow  but  a  person  can  never  tell  anything  by  the  looks  nowadays. 

During  his  "boyhood"  days  "Lem"  went  to  school  in  the  village  but  as  he  grew  older  and 
his  folks  could  trust  him  more  they  let  him  go  to  High 
School,  where  he  played  base  ball  and  pillow  dex.  Some 
say  he  was  better  at  pillow  dex  than  at  base  ball  but 
we  are  in  doubt.  Now  since  "Lem"  has  grown  up  his 
parents  have  let  him  come  to  M.  A.  C.  and  it  has  just 
been  the  making  of  "Lem."  He  is  not  much  of  a  society 
man  but  once  in  a  while  he  and  Wheeler  go  fussing  over 
to  Sunderland.  They  call  him  "Redas"  for  a  nick  name 
but  I  think  Goldenrod  is  just  as  appropriate  and  prettier. 
"Lem"  is  a  member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity  and  a  loyal 
supporter  to  the  Rooting  Club.        He  is  talking  agriculture. 


Raymond  Dean  Whitmarsh.  This  rare  military  genius  first  gave  out  his  orders  in 
Dighton,  Mass.,  July  21,  1885.  After  entering  High  School  in  Taunton,  Mass., 
"Whit"  became  proficient  in  Military  Science  and  knowing  that  there  would  be  a  chance 
for  a  promotion  came  to  M.  A.  C.  and  entered  with  '08. 
"Whit"  has  been  Capt.  of  the  class  Basket  Ball  team  and 
played  on  the  Varsity  Basket  Ball  team.  When  in  high 
school  he  was  Capt.  of  the  Track  team  and  played  basket 
ball. 

"Rube"  should  be  called  Napoleon  Bonaparte.      His  name 
being    Napoleon    and   his    legs    making    the    Bony    Part. 
However   "Whit"    enjoys   drilling    the    Freshman    and   they 
all  like  his  instruction?    He  is  a  member  of  the  K2   frater- 
nity and  is  taking  biology.

Samuel  Judd  Wright.  On  November  22,  1885  in  South  Sudbury  there  came  one 
of  the  cleverest  "Regal"  peddlers  that  ever  walked  up  the  little  road  of  bye  and  bye, 
that  leads  to  the  house  of  never.  "Judd"  who  is  a  hard  worker  skun  through  the  Sudbury 
High  and  it  was  not  long  after  that  he  met  with  a  serious 
accident,  he  ran  into  M.  A.  C.  with  08.  "Juddy"  was 
Vice  President  of  the  class  and  a  member  of  the  Soph- 
omore Rope  Pull  team.  He  is  now  in  the  shoe  business 
having  got  the  stingy  habit  from  "Shylock."  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Q.  T.  V.  fraternity  and  will  study  agro- 
techney.

HE  EDITOR  is  treading  new  ground.  Never  before  has  he  contrib- 
uted to  the  editorial  columns  of  a  publication.  Yet  his  step  is  firm 
and  elastic.  He  is  not  over-confident  in  his  own  powers  of  expression, 
and  yet  he  has  become  so  thoroughly  imbued  with  that  inherent  spirit 
of  "get  there"  which  marks  all  undertakings  of  the  class  of  1 908 
that  he  feels  he  cannot  fail.  He  must  be  worthy  of  the  confidence  and 
trust  which  the  class  he  proudly  claims  has  placed  in  him.  His 
classmates  have  stood  behind  him  and  answered  faithfully  every  call,  and  now  he  wishes 
to  step  aside  and  ask  them  to  accept  the  good  work  which  they  have  done.  He  does 
not  pretend  to  thank  them.  That  is  a  debt  which  the  class  and  college  owe  them.  Our 
best  recompense  is  in  the  satisfaction  of  something  well  done,  and  according  as  we  have 
wrought,  so  shall  we  be  rewarded. 

But  what  for  editorials !  the  Editor  realizes  the  humble  part  he  plays  in  college 
affairs.  He  realizes  that  he  has  his  failings,  and  that  they  are,  after  all,  not  so  much 
worse  than  other  people's  faults.  He  appreciates  that  he  has  his  own  peculiar  ideas,  and 
that  they  may  not  always  coincide  with  other  people's  ideas.  Why  should  we  not  differ? 
And  yet  we  are  all  interested  in  a  grander,  truer,  and  still  better  "Mass'chusetts,"  and 
what-so-ever  we  say,  and  what-so-ever  we  do,  may  it  always  be  with  the  firm  conviction

that  it  is  for  the  good  of  the  College.  May  our  prayer  for  her  future  be  that  nothing 
but  what  is  beautiful  and  true  and  noble  and  good  may  enter  into  her  life.  "Prayer 
for  aught  else  is  vicious."  So  may  we  help  one-another  and  our  Alma  Mater  with  our 
cooperation,  even  tho  our  separate  acts  may  seem  irreconcilable.  Our  acts  must  show 
conformity  if  each  one  of  us  does  as  his  better-self  indicates. 


I  was  walking,  some  months  past,  with  a  youth  among  the  mountainous  tracts  of  Ver- 
mont. It  was  a  beautiful  moonlight  night.  The  moon  had  just  reached  the  full,  and 
flooded  the  earth  with  that  glorious  radiance  which  so  strangely  affects  us  wondering 
mortals.  The  mountains  rolled  away  from  beneath  our  feet  in  soft  billows  of  various 
greens,  shaded  so  gently  and  softly  by  that  wondrous  radiance  from  above.  Below  us, 
far  below  us,  twined  the  silvery  thread  of  the  White  River  as  it  flashed  here  and  there  in 
the  moonlight,  only  to  disappear  the  next  instant  in  some  dark  blot  of  forbidding  pines. 
The  spell  of  the  evening  was  upon  me,  and  I  spoke  to  my  young  companion  of 
the  wonderful  hills,  the  beautiful  river  like  unto  the  River  of  the  Lost  Footsteps,  the 
woods,  the  fields,  the  sweet  odor  of  ferns,  the  tinkling  of  weary  cow-bells,  the  plaintive 
bleat  of  the  Iamb, — even  of  the  merry  cricket  that  chirruped  'neath  the  rock  below  us. 
"Yes,"  said  he,  "but  sometimes  I  wish  I  might  never  hear  a  cricket  again." 

'Tis  a  glorious  division  of  labor  that  directs  our  paths  in  different  ways.  My  ambi- 
tions are  not  your  ambitions,  and  yours  are  not  mine,  and  so  each  of  us  takes  his  individ- 
ual part  in  the  work  of  the  Whole,  and  mankind's  work  rolls  on  smoothly  thru  mutual 
dependence.  It  is  a  welcome  sign  of  the  day  that  our  young  men  from  the  city  are 
beginning  to  appreciate  the  beauties  and  possibilities  of  country  life,  and  that  in  turn  the 
country  youths  hunger  for  the  activities  of  the  city.  The  infusion  of  new  blood  into 
established  activities  is  good.  Our  agricultural  colleges  show  each  year  an  increased  per- 
centage of  students  drawn  from  city  communities.  It  is  also  true  that  the  number  of 
students  from  the  country  also  is  increasing,  but  the  rate  of  increase  is  not  so  large.  Aca- 
demic colleges,  on  the  other  hand,  show  a  greater  percentage  of  increase  of  students  drawn 
from  rural  communities.  The  present  era  is  emphatically  one  of  educational  progress.  I 
was  much  surprised  to  find  in  the  little  country  town  of  central  Vermont  where  I  spent 
the  summer  so  many  of  the  young  people  intent  upon  a  higher  education.  In  fact,  now 
that  the  academic  year  has  fairly  begun,  the  little  town  is  nearly  deserted  of  its  young 
men  and  women.  But  I  was  still  further  surprised  to  find  that  without  exception  all 
these  young  people  were  taking  academic  courses.  On  the  contrary,  as  I  look  back  upon 
the  last  three  classes  which  have  graduated  from  the  high-schools  of  my  native  city,  I  find 
that  some  twenty  or  thirty  students  have  enrolled  upon  the  books  of  M.  A.  C.  alone,  to 
say  nothing  of  other  colleges  of  a  similar  technical  nature. 


214  THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


What  does  this  all  indicate?  In  the  first  place,  more  profitable  times  are  opening 
up  the  educational  possibilities  of  the  rural  communities.  This  is  of  supreme  importance. 
Too  long  have  the  country  localities  been  shut  off  from  that  educational  progress  which 
has  characterized  city  life.  The  country  boy  has  grown  up  and  received  most  of  his 
education  on  the  farm,  and  so  lived  and  died  there  without  bettering  his  father's  condi- 
tions. And  worst  of  all  he  has  been  satisfied.  Is  it  any  wonder  that  he  has  become  the 
hero  of  the  comic  newspapers?  But  during  the  past  decade  times  have  changed.  The 
country  boy  has  become  ambitious,  and  is  reaching  out  for  that  domain  which  of  right  is 
his.  The  intelligent  farmer  has  become  a  type  today.  Yet  too  often  have  our  country 
young  men  become  dissatisfied  with  the  home  conditions,  and  sought  for  what  they  con- 
sider broader  fields  of  work.  It  seems  ill-fitting  to  them  that  they  should  apply  their 
intelligence  and  training  to  the  farm  work,  so  that  today  one  of  the  greatest  questions  of 
our  farming  communities  is  the  question  of  capable,  reliable,  help. 

To  partially  meet  this  demand  has  come  a  considerable  body  of  young  men,  tired 
of  the  rush  and  scramble  of  city  life,  and  seeking  only  for  an  opportunity  to  settle  down 
to  the  quietness  and  beauty  of  a  life  out-of-doors.  True,  they  are  many  of  them  idealists 
who  have  much  to  learn  of  actual  farm  life,  yet  the  inborn  desire  for  out-door  freedom 
is  so  great  that  no  minor  disappointments  can  divert  them.  They  are  ready  and  eager  to 
work,  and  have  the  faculty  of  making  pleasurable  whatever  they  do.  They  are  not 
above  their  work,  and  can  much  easier  adapt  themselves  to  conditions  than  their  more 
staid  country  cousins.  Above  all,  they  seek  to  apply  their  intelligence  and  knowledge 
to  the  work  they  have  chosen.  An  agricultural  college  offers  them  the  first  opportunity, 
to  be  supplemented  by  practical  work.  The  college  course  opens  to  them  an  invaluable 
supply  of  literature,  and  acquaints  them  with  the  workings  of  those  great  implements  of 
agricultural  progress,  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  the  State  Exper- 
iment Stations.  In  a  word,  they  have  done  themselves  the  justice  of  a  standard  college 
education,  and  then  further  justified  themselves  by  applying  that  education  intelligently  to 
their  every-day  work. 

The  strength  of  every  nation  is  fundamentally  agricultural.  If  our  agricultural  in- 
terests decline,  so  must  our  national  standing.  If  they  progress,  so  shall  we  take  a  still 
higher  place  in  the  rank  of  nations.  This  foundational  importance  of  agriculture  in  the 
framework  of  our  countries'  welfare  was  long  ago  appreciated  by  our  legislators.  The 
"Land  Grants"  insured  a  college  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts  to  every  state  in  the 
Union.  These  state  colleges  have  become  the  leading  educational  institutions  of  the 
day.  In  contrast  with  our  academic  colleges,  they  are  bound  to  progress, -they  cannot 
retrograde.  The  national  and  state  governments  stands  behind  them.  The  Department 
of  Agriculture  and  the  State  Experiment  Stations  supplement  their  work.  Students  flock 
to  their  doors,  seeking  for  a  practical  education,  something  which  they  can  apply  to  the 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE

making  of  a  livelihood  when  they   graduate.      And   the  study  of  scientific  agriculture  is 
not  the  least  of  these  practical  sciences. 

And  so  today  we  are  glad  to  claim  "Mass'chusetts"  as  our  Alma  Mater.  We  are 
glad  that  her  primary  object  is  agricultural,  and  that  it  has  been  incorporated  in  her  name. 
We  are  glad  of  the  opportunity  to  fit  ourselves  for  an  mtelligent  and  noble  life  "out-of- 
doors,"  close  to  that  which  is  nearest  to  God's  own  perfection, — the  beauties  of  Nature. 
We  are  glad  of  the  opportunity  to  fit  ourselves  for  other  fields  of  work,  equally  impor- 
tant, equally  enticing.  We  are  proud  of  this  old  college  which  shelters  us,  proud  of  her 
alumni,  her  president,  the  trustees,  the  various  departments,  and  those  who  conduct  them 
so  ably,  and  lastly,  proud  of  the  democratic  body  of  men  who  are  enrolled  as  students 
upon  her  books.  May  they  be  governed  by  that  intelligence  and  progressiveness  which 
characterizes  Mass'chusetts  men.  The  future  of  the  college  is  in  their  hands. 
"Then  give  three  cheers  for  Old  Mass'chusetts, 
And  then  give  three  cheers  more." 


Sunday  Chapel 


Have  I  launched  upon  turbid  waters?  The  "religious"  question  is  a  delicate  one  to  handle 
in  a  body  of  young  men.  In  these  days,  we  seem  to  put  further  and  further  away  the 
theoretical  questions  of  creeds  and  doctrines.  It  is  the  practical  side  of  religion  that 
appeals  to  us.  We  admire  the  man  who  is  honest,  square,  and  clean  in  every  way.  We 
look  no  further  into  his  beliefs.  The  religious  prig  or  crank  does  not  count  one  iota  in 
our  estimation.      Such  is  the  sifting  of  college  opinion. 

There  is  a  strong  sentiment  now-a-days  among  the  fellows  in  favor  of  chapel  ser- 
vices on  Sunday,  provided  they  be  conducted  along  specific  lines.  Under  no  condition 
would  the  students  favor  a  return  to  the  old  system  which  proved  so  unsatisfactory.  That 
system  was  built  on  fundamentally  wrong  ideas,  and  so  could  not  succeed.  In  the  first 
place,  attendance  was  made  compulsory,  until,  under  stress  of  circumstances,  it  was  proved 
that  no  state  institution  of  any  kind  whatsoever  had  the  right  to  force  religious  matters  in 
any  way  upon  the  people  connected  with  that  institution.  Probably  no  such  conclusion 
would  have  been  forced  in  this  particular  instance  if  the  standard  of  Chapel  exercises  had 
been  what  it  should  have  been.  And  this  brings  us  to  the  second  cause  of  failure.  One 
man,  a  member  of  the  faculty,  conducted  all  the  exercises.  There  was  no  variation. 
Five  days  in  the  week  he  lectured  in  the  class-room.  On  Sunday,  his  eccentricities  of 
thought  and  manner  were  transmitted  to  the  pulpit, — the  result  might  have  been  expected. 


216 


THE       1908      INDEX      VOLUME      XXXVlII 


Familiarity  breeds  contempt.  The  optional  system  of  attendance  now  prevailing,  nobody 
went  to  chapel,  and  finally  the  whole  business  was  abandoned. 

Then  why  should  we  advocate  a  return  to  the  Sunday  chapel  system?  There  seems 
to  be  a  demand  for  it.  The  fellows  are  nearly  all  practical  moralists,  tho,  perhaps,  they  do 
not  claim  any  great  religious  propensities.  The  churches  in  town  are  too  far  away  to 
stimulate  regular  attendance.  Then  too,  are  not  our  young,  thinking,  college  men  entit- 
led to  better  preachers  and  thinkers  than  the  small  churches  of  Amherst  can  afford? 
Young  men  at  that  age  are  apt  to  get  skeptical,  and  sometimes  even  atheistic.  It  takes 
strong,  practical  thinkers  to  keep  the  trend  of  their  thought  in  proper  lines.  If  proper 
services,  were  held  in  the  chapel  on  Sunday,  a  greater  number  of  students  would  attend 
rather  than  make  their  way  weekly  to  the  various  churches  in  town.  Thus  the  greatest 
good  would  be  extended  to  the  greatest  number. 

But  what  specific  lines  should  chapel  services  be  conducted  upon?  In  the  first  place, 
they  must  be  non-denominational,  and  to  this  end,  a  variety  of  speakers  must  be  secured. 
One  man,  no  matter  how  liberal  and  fair-minded  he  may  be,  cannot  help  but  leave  an 
impression  of  his  own  particular  creed  and  doctrines.  This  must  be  avoided.  A  con- 
sideration of  fifty  dollars  would  bring  noted  speakers  of  different  denominations  to  our 
services,  speakers  who  have  proved  their  worth,  and  who  always  command  attention  and 
respect.  Would  an  expenditure  of  fifteen  hundred  dollars  a  year  be  ill  advised  in  such 
a  cause?  The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  turns  out  one  hundred  students  to  listen  to  its  speakers. 
Surely  these  hundred,  and  many  more,  would  support  a  speaker  of  even  greater  reputation 
than  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  can  afford.  Those  who  witnessed  the  old  experience  with  Sunday 
chapel  services  are  apt  to  be  skeptical  when  we  speak  of  renewing  these  services.  Have 
they  been  witnesses  of  the  progress  and  success  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  during  the  past  year? 
That  alone  is  enough  to  sweep  away  all  doubts.  We  are  none  of  us  religious  prigs,  or 
even,  perhaps,  enthusiasts,  but  we  are  all  susceptible  to  the  better  and  nobler  motives  which 
actuate  men  in  their  belief  in  a  higher  and  better  Being.  Humanity  has  always  worship- 
ped a  Deity. 


Track  Athletics 


First,  a  bit  of  history.  In  the  spring  of  their  freshman  year,  the  class  of  1908  formed 
a  track  team,  elected  a  manager,  and  took  steps  to  arrange  for  the  use  of  Pratt  field,  and 
secure  a  meet  with  the  Amherst  freshmen.  At  this  point,  the  upper  class  men  interferred, 
choosing  to  call  up  again  the  old  feud  with  Amherst,  and  tho  the  class  had  every  promise 
of  success  in  that  direction,  the  matter  was  dropped.    This  was  a  dampening  blow  to  'OS's 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE

aggressiveness.  Yet  the  idea  was  not  abandoned.  The  exact  state  of  affairs  regarding 
a  Mass'chusetts  athletic  field  was  learned.  Disappointed  again,  the  class  committee  met 
with  the  committee  of  the  trustees  on  "New  Buildings  and  Arrangement  of  Grounds," 
with  the  result  that  a  favorable  report  was  given  sanctioning  the  placing  of  a  running 
track  around  the  campus,  and  such  other  work  as  should  be  necessary  to  fit  the,  campus 
for  temporary  field  athletics.  But  at  this  point  things  came  to  a  stand-still,  tho  the  class 
did  erect  bars  and  prepare  a  piece  of  ground  for  the  running  broad  jump.  Mr.  Draper, 
the  heart  and  soul  of  the  movement  on  the  part  of  the  trustees,  was  taken  sick,  and  the 
members  of  the  class  did  not  feel  competent,  or  that  they  could  spare  the  time,  to  make  the 
track.  No  help  was  offered  by  the  faculty;  in  fact,  it  was  rather  urged  that  the  matter  be 
dropped  entirely,  and  there  it  stands  today. 

The  reasons  why  an  enclosed  athletic  field  is  not  a  present  reality  are  well  under- 
stood by  graduates  and  undergraduates.  We  can  only  hope  that  the  near  future  will 
bring  a  change  in  the  present  rock-bound  conditions.  But  in  the  meanwhile  can  we  not 
at  least  make  the  beginnings  of  a  track  team?  Tho  we  have  no  track  and  no  well  arranged 
field,  the  campus  offers,  with  a  Httle  work,  all  that  is  necessary  for  track-team  work.  A 
running  track  encircling  the  campus  and  drill  hall  would  be  of  fair  length,  and  the  soil 
is  of  the  proper  constituency  to  pack  well.  Such  a  temporary  track  would  by  no  means 
disfigure  the  campus, — in  fact,  would  give  it  a  business-like  aspect, — and  could  be  easily 
covered  again  in  the  advent  of  an  athletic  field.  1  908  has  demonstrated  that  it  takes  but 
little  effort  to  erect  bars  for  the  pole-vault  and  high  jump.  A  patch  of  the  soft  campus 
soil,  loosened  and  pulverized,  could  not  be  bettered  for  jumping.  The  hammer  can  be 
thrown,  and  the  shot  put,  just  as  well  upon  our  level  campus  as  upon  the  most  costly  of 
enclosed  fields.  What  else  do  we  need?  A  few  hurdles,  poles,  bars,  shot,  hammers,— 
a  very  simple  equipment.  The  money  for  this  equipment  could  easily  be  raised  by  pop- 
ular subscription.  The  making  of  the  track  presents  the  greatest  obstacle,  merely  because 
the  students  themselves  cannot  perform  the  labor.  No  grading  is  necessary, — simply  the 
removing  of  the  turf,  and  the  packing  of  the  soil, — a  simple  operation,  if  only  someone 
with  authority  would  undertake  it,  and  see  it  thru. 

What  shall  we  do  about  it?  In  the  first  place,  we  must  create  the  proper  enthu- 
siasm in  the  student  body.  The  students  must,  by  their  determination  and  sincerity, 
impress  upon  the  alumni,  the  trustees,  and  the  faculty,  that  they  are  in  earnest,  and  mean 
business.  Very  few  men,  proportionately,  can  play  football,  baseball,  and  basketball. 
What  becomes  of  our  other  athletes?  They  must  remain  inactive, — a  retrogradation  from 
that  which  they  have  done  in  high  school  days.  The  track-team  offers  athletics  in  the 
broadest,  most  general,  sense  to  the  greater  majority  of  students.  The  other  special 
athletic  contests  are  not  going  to  suffer  from  track  work, — the  track  work  will  develop 
football,  baseball,   and  basketball  players, — speedy,   enduring  men.      In  the  near   future.

athletics  will  be  self-supporting  at  M.  A.  C,  so  the  question  of  additional  expense  is  but 
transitory, — and  never  very  great.  A  track  team  today  will  hasten  the  coming  of  an 
athletic  field  tomorrow, — and  then, — athletics  on  a  self-supporting  basis. 

1 908,  it  is  up  to  you.  It  has  always  been  a  question  close  to  your  hearts.  Will 
you  not  see  it  accomplished  before  you  graduate?  Let  us  leave  at  least  this  monument  to 
the  prowess,  the  energy,  the  indomitable  spirit,  the  implacable  Tvill  of   1  908. 


Massachusetts  Spirit 


Have  you  not  heard  those  cheers  ringing  out  from  two  hundred  voices,  echoing  and  re-echo- 
ing as  they  chase  one  another  from  mountain  to  mountain,  finally  to  die  away  in  the  vast 
stretches  of  the  valley?  Have  you  not  heard  those  glorious  songs  of  spirit  and  fire  as  they 
fill  the  air  with  their  message  of  cheer  and  victory,  impressing  even  the  echos  to 
sound  their  strains  of  pluck  and  defiance?  Have  you  not  seen  that  glorious  democratic 
body  of  young  men,  united  as  one  for  the  sake  of  Old  Bay  State,  and  all  that  she  repre- 
sents? Have  you  not,  I  say,  witnessed  all  that  unity  of  thought,  expression,  and  action, 
that  college  spirit,  which  is  characteristic  of  Mass'chusetts  men?  If  you  have  never  wit- 
nessed this,  you  know  not  what  true  college  spirit  is. 

It  is  the  spirit  which  supports  our  athletic  teams, — of  the  men  who  get  out  there  day 
after  day  on  the  campus  and  plug  and  grind  to  turn  out  a  good  team  for  the  sake  of  the 
rest  of  the  fellows, — the  spirit  of  the  varsity,  the  spirit  of  the  scrub.  It  is  the  spirit  of 
those  who,  tho  trembling  with  eagerness  to  get  out  there  and  play  the  game,  must  stand 
on  the  side-lines,  cheering  and  singing  to  encourage  those  men  who  can  play,  and  urge 
them  to  put  forth  their  best  energies.  It  is  the  spirit  of  those  who  can  overlook  a  poor 
play,  encouraging  the  player  to  profit  by  his  mistakes,  and  devote  all  his  energies  to  play- 
ing a  better  game.  It  is  the  spirit  of  those  who  stand  ready  to  offer  their  services  to  the 
slightest  need  of  a  player, — of  those  who  go  down  into  the  rubbing  room,  or  take  a 
tired  player's  place  at  the  Dining  Hall. 

It  is  the  spirit  which  treats  with  commensurate  courtesy  a  visiting  team,  offering  its 
members  as  guests  the  best  hospitality  the  college  can  afford;  the  spirit  which  treats  an 
opponent  courteously  on  the  field  of  contest,  and  plays  a  clean  game  for  the  sake  of  clean 
sport. 

It  is  the  spirit  which  supports  with  equal  courage  and  equal  endeavor  our  other  stu- 
dent organizations;  that  has  built  up  our  Y.  M.  C.  A.  to  a  forceful  factor  for  good  in 
our  college, — that  has  spent  many  a  precious  evening  hour  to  develop  a  musical  organ- 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


ization  that  is  a  credit  to  Mass'chusetts  talent  and  energy, — that  has  supported  the  college 
paper, — sometimes  a  thankless  job, — grinding  thru  the  spare  hours  of  the  week  to  turn 
out  copy, — the  spirit  of  those  who  support  our  seminars  and  clubs, — every  institution  of 
student  activity  and  progress. 

It  is  the  spirit  which  seeks  the  greatest  good  of  the  college,  which  believes  heart  and 
soul  in  this  grand  old  Alma  Mater  of  ours,  the  work  she  does,  the  things  she  stands  for, 
and  the  men  who  represent  her.  It  is  the  spirit  which  presupposes  no  evil,  but  looks  for 
the  best,  aims  for  the  best,  and  believes  that  the  best  does  exist.  It  is  the  spirit  which, 
seeing  an  evil,  will  forget  it,  and  rushes  in  to  rectify  the  mistakes,  rather  trymg  to  replace 
evil  with  good  than  to  punish  evil, — the  spirit  that  overlooks  another's  faults,  realizing 
that  we  are  none  of  us  perfect,  and  looks  for  all  that  is  good,  and  noble,  and  manly,  and 
true.  Yes,  it  is  the  spirit  of  love, — love  for  college,  and  love  for  one-another.  God 
bless  our  own  Mass'chusetts;  God  bless  Mass'chusetts  men,  and  Mass'chusetts  spirit. 


Scholastic  Revival  of  China 

For  ages  China  has  maintained  a  formidable  bar  against  western  civilizations,  because  she 
had  her  own  civilization,  literature,  music  and  other  arts.  Printing,  the  mariner's  compass 
and  gunpowder  were  known  to  her  long  before  they  were  used  in  the  western  world. 
During  the  ages  of  San  Huang  Wu  Dee  fH  ^  ^  ■f.  (2953-2300  B.  C.)  the  spirit  of 
scholasticism  crystalized,  not  only  from  the  classical  point  of  view,  but  morality  was 
regarded  as  a  principle  element  of  character.  Through  800  years  of  peace  which  the 
Chou  ^  dynasty  enjoyed,  interest  in  the  civil  service  encouraged  the  use  of  the  pen 
instead  of  the  sword.  Since,  then,  the  foothold  of  scholasticism  has  been  firmly  estab- 
lished. 

About  950  years  before  Queen  Elizabeth  came  to  the  English  throne,  new  ideas 
looking  to  thorough  reformation  were  advanced.  The  poetic  revival  simultaneously 
found  its  ideals  in  fullest  manifestation.  The  "Chinese  National  Anthem"  is  the  only 
piece  of  Chinese  music  ever  printed  in  English  form.  It  expresses  seven  passions  belong- 
ing to  the  ancient  hfe. 

Chinese  literary  scholars  devote  their  lives  entirely  to  literature;  humanity  is  the  only 
interest  agreeable  to  their  nature.  During  these  two  centuries,  the  scientific  discoveries 
of  the  western  world  sprang  up  with  added  activity.  Then  the  resultant  of  these  two 
main  sources  appeared  with  a  great  divergence.  About  thirty  years  ago,  the  western 
civilization  made  its  first  headway  into  the  empire.      (A  group  of   1 20  Chinese  students

was  just  sent  to  the  United  States  to  be  educated.  Unfortunately,  they  were  suddenly 
recalled  when  they  were  making  good  progress.  Then  these  ambitious  youths  were  forced 
to  return  to  their  country,  much  against  their  own  wishes.  Toward  the  latter  part  of  last 
century,  institutions  for  the  study  of  western  learning  were  established.  The  scientific 
studies  seemed  to  be  the  most  favorable  subjects  for  learning.  Upon  the  opening  of  this 
century,  the  movement  of  the  "Open  Door  of  China"  impressed  the  people  most  strongly, 
so  much  so  that,  fortunately,  the  resultant  of  internal  and  external  influences  finds  its 
greatest  strength  in  no  way  impeded  by  partial  inclination  to  former  methods  of  study. 
At  the  present  time,  we  have  already  found  quite  a  number  of  Chmese  students  scattered 
in  the  leading  institutions  of  this  country  as  well  as  in  Europe;  the  incoming  steamers 
from  the  old  Empire  continually  increase  the  number.  This  we  believe  to  be  a  healthy 
scene,  which  will  serve  as  the  morning  star  of  the  revival  of  China.

The  moon  shone  calmly  down  through  fleeting  clouds  whose  foamy  aspect  contrasted 
weirdly  with  the  dull  blue  of  the  sky.  At  times  a  star  would  peep  through  a  rift  in  the 
clouds  and  its  clear  cool  sparkle  fairly  made  one  shiver.  The  wind  swept  across  die  valley 
with  a  low,  dull  murmur  like  the  inarticulate  rage  of  a  giant  captive.  Everything  betoken- 
ed a  change,  a  change  as  irrevocable  as  the  ceaseless  swing  of  old  Earth  upon  her  axis. 

The  bare,  bleak  fields  lay  wrapped  in  the  white  radiancy  of  the  night  sun.  Soon 
Winter's  cold  mantle  would  be  over  them.  And  Winter  all  too  soon  would  be  slowly 
retreating  before  the  pulsating  life  and  warmth  of  a  springtime.  And  thus  the  ceaseless 
cycle  of  seasons  rolls  on,  thus  it  is  that  the  old  faces  and  forms  pass  out  beyond  our  ken 
and  are  lost  in  Life's  stern  struggle.  Soon  we  shall  be  numbered  on  the  dark  pages  of  the 
past.  But  behind  us  comes  a  sturdy  and  ever  increasing  line,  the  faces  and  forms  of  those 
to  take  our  places  in  this  college  world. 

"The  old  order  changeth  giving  place  to  new." 

Steadily  and  surely  the  years  roll  on  to  each  new  Commencement  time.  We  see 
proud,  happy  faces  among  the  throng,  a  father,  a  mother,  a  sister,  a  brother,  all  rejoicing 
in  the  honors  gained.  The  goal  of  graduation  has  been  reached  after  four  long  years. 
Did  I  say  long?  Yes,  they,  perhaps,  are  long  when  measured  by  the  ceaseless  routine  of 
study.  But,  oh  how  short  they  have  been  as  all  the  tender  recollections  of  tlie  past  crowd 
in  upon  us,  of  jolly  times,  and  good  friends  made. 


MASSACHUSETTS   AGRICULTURAL   COLLEGE 


There  is  the  chapel,  the  shrine  of  all  our  morning  prayers,  the  walks  where  oft  we 
wandered  on  studies  bent,  the  dear  old  campus  with  its  memories  of  contests  lost  and 
won.  Far  to  the  southward  the  grand  old  Holyoke  mountains  are  rearing  their  patri- 
archal heads  as  somber  sentinels  of  the  valley.  Many  a  Commencement  have  they  seen, 
many  a  youth  with  hopes  and  ambitions  has  passed  out  beyond  their  shadow,  but  still  firm 
and  changeless  they  stand  in  the  march  of  Time. 

As  the  years  pass,  we  grow  to  love  this  beautiful  valley  of  the  mighty  Connecticut, 
the  meadows,  the  mountains,  the  brook,  and  the  river.  Throughout  our  college  days  they 
have  been  with  us,  and  in  after  years  they  still  will  greet  us  as  in  our  wanderings  we  return. 

September  comes  again  and  college  doors  are  opened  wide.  But  what  causes  that 
indefinable  feeling  of  a  vacancy  to  be  filled,  of  some  missing  face  or  voice?  Ah!  you  for- 
get the  Commencement  with  its  attendant  graduation.  A  class  of  college  friends  and  asso- 
ciates has  passed  out  into  the  great  world  and  behind  them  is  a  void,  a  vacancy  in  this 
litde  world  of  ours.  Old  faces  are  no  longer  to  be  seen  on  the  campus  or  in  the  class- 
rooms but  in  their  places  are  new  ones.  And  yet  the  gap  is  not  bridged,  nor  the  vac- 
ancy filled.  The  memories  of  jolly  student  brothers  still  assail  us ;  each  had  his  own  par- 
ticular traits  and  humours  to  be  remembered.  And  there  is  a  pang  in  our  breasts  that 
will  remain  until  memory  sinks  into  forgetfulness.

Improve  Your   Dairy 


"^[O  matter  how  good  a  herd  of  cows  you  have,  or  how  well  they  are  taken  care  of, 
or  how  carefully  they  are  fed,  your  efforts  are  more  or  less  wasted  if  the  milk, 
the  result  of  it  all,  is  not  taken  care  of  in  the  best  way  possible. 

Before  cream  or  butter  can  be  obtained  the  milk  must,  of  course,   be  skimmed, 
and  to  do  the  skimming  most  easily,  quickly  and  profitably  you  need  a 


U.S. 


CREAM 
SEPARATOR 


in  your  dairy.  If  the  gravity  or  setting  method 
is  now  used,  a  U.  S.  will  increase  your  butter 
yield  from  1-4  to  1-2.  That  is,  if  the  skimmed 
milk  from  the  old  way  were  run  through 
a  U.  S.  Separator  it  would  take  out  from  1-4 
to  1-2  as  much  cream  as  was  obtained  by  hand 
skimming. 

Now  there  are  other  cream  separators 
which  will  effect  a  saving  over  gravity  systems, 
but  because  the  U.  S.  Separator  holds  the 

WORLD'S  RECORD 

For   Clean    Skimming 

it  is  a  greater  saver  and  bigger  money  maker  than  any  other  for  it  gets  the  most  cream. 

We  want  to  tell  you  how  this  record  was  made,  and  what  it  means — our  attrac- 
tive new  catalogue  will  do  it,  and  at  the  same  time  fully  explain  the  operation  and 
construction  of  the  U.  S.  with  the  aid  of  many  fine  and  accurate  illustrations  of  the 
different  parts.  We'll  be  glad  to  mail  you  a  copy  on  request.  Ask  for  "Construction

"If  a  man  can  write  a  better  book,  preach  a  better  sermon,  or  make  a  better 
mousetrap  than  his  neighbor,  though  he  build  his  house  in  the  woods,  the  world 
will  make  a  beaten  path  to  his  door." — Emerson.
