Williams defeated Hamilton’ in a well played game of basket—ball last night in the gymnasium at Williamstown. For -the first few minutes of play the work of both _teams was fairly equal, and during the first half the visitors held Williams’s score down well, but in the second half the superior training and team work of the home team was shown by the large score they made. Toward the close of the game Captain McLaughlin, of the Hamilton team, collided with the paral- lel bars, receiving a severe cut over the right eye, but pluckily continued the game after having his wound bandaged. His work throughout the game was ex- cellent, four out of the five goals made by Hamilton being scored by him. Al- though both teams worked hard, the game was remarkably clean and free from rough play. For Williams, Cap- tain Vose played a superb game, throw- ing I2 goals from the field, some of them difficult. Hosmer also played a star game, having five goals to his credit The whole team played in excellent form and by their good team work made the high score possible. The large crowd that attended showed great inter- est in the game. The line—up: VVilliams (70). Hamilton (16). Left Forward. McMul1en. Swab. Right Forward. Vose, (Capt.) McLaughlin, (Capt.) Hosmer.

On last Wednesday morning the Bas- ket-ball team took the 7:50 a. m. train for Williamstown. Arrived in Utica, we proceeded to the Central depot and learned that our train was 3 hours and 20 minutes late. Manager Lewis would not let a little thing like that discourage his team for one minute, so he trans- ferred them to the Lewis House for din- ner. While partaking of this repast we saw the Glee and Mandolin clubs go straggling past on their way home from St. Johnsville. Vt/'hen finally the train did come, no time was lost in getting aboard. Williamstown was reached without other incident, except that “Tommy" almost succeeded in getting a mascot at Hoosick Falls. Hamilton appeared first upon the floor, and was cheered. Williams soon followed, and the game began. But it soon became evident that Hamilton had other things beside the skill of the op- posing team to contend with. The gym- nasium was dimly lighted, and poorly equipped for basket-ball. However, even against these odds, the score at the end of the first half was 19 and 7, in Williams’s favor. In the second half, both teams started in with even fiercer work than before, but after a few minutes’ play "Tommy,” in going for the ball out of bounds, ran into a parallel bar and received a bad cut just above the eyes. After a mo- ment’s delay “Tommy” was back in the game again, and it was at this time that he threw the most phenomenal basket ever thrown on the Williams’s floor. Seizing the ball from his opponent he took a try from the centre of the field and lodged the ball in the basket. “Tommy” played the star game for Hamilton, and Vose excelled for Wil- liams. One can not justly judge the game by the score. Williams has a strong team, and Hamilton felt the loss ‘ of'l-’eet. All praise is due Williams for their sportsmanlike conduct during the game, and also for their generous treat- ment before and after the game. Ubi Terrarum Sumus. Winter term has been made a winter in more than weather respects. We are absolutely snowed under by the ava- lanches of demands and requisitions made upon us. The faculty seems to think that the progress and advance made along lines of work collateral to the curriculum must be offset and out- done by their increased demands. Each member apparently considers himself obliged to sprint in the competition of exactions. One department is, as a rule, in the lead, and the rest ply the pursuit with few cessations. During winter terms, and especially the current one, the attention of men ag- gressive in the initiation of enterprises and ventures along the lines of college spirit and energy is demanded. With- out these departments our college lapses in the race for prestige. It is with the knowledge of the activity of such schemes in other colleges that our efforts here are devoted to their outdoing and betterment. But this maintenance of the general enthusiasm requires enormous sacrifices on the part of those in charge. When it is considered that in so small a college the helms of perhaps many, if not all, these ventures must be held and guided by a limited number of men it impresses on a sane and reasoning mind the fact that some stress and tension is exerted on the endurance of these same men. It can not be quibbled that these ventures are other than for Hamilton College and its preferment; for the en- couragement of concerted endeavor and cemented interests. Why, then, can not those who observe this with half an eye, consider it. Why is it that the burden of our obligations grows with such lack of discrimination? The regular lecture and text-book courses do not seem to suffice in the minds of our ambitious tutors. Theses and theses, reports and dissertations are thrown in haphazard. On the week. of the inter-class debate, several of such HAMILTON LIFE. requirements are due. There is no sys- tem, no accommodation, in the whole regime. lt’s now as though each depart- ment considered itself in undisputed primacy and takes, as a consequence, without regard for other duties and irre- spective of convenience, an arbitrary precedence. There is such a thing as the final feather, and surely there's such a thing as the last endurable millstone. If it does not break the intellectual back as our treatment of the demand will not permit, we must prescribe for our release the dismissal of submission. We've got to have less outside work and more time to indulge in other business. No won- der that orations do not follow dictated and prescribed references. No wonder that there is general depression and de- ficiency on the part of some men who have no time to attend to these heaped obligations. With musical clubs, de- bates, athletics, exhibitions and social duties, we have some few responsibilities to discharge. “Ring off" is our war cry. and the peeon is one from a pipe that has the backing of stout and formidable forces. Proceeds of the Prom. There has been no little speculation as to the intended disposition of the pro- ceeds from the Prom. Acting on prece- dent, the committee has seen fit to set the price of the tickets at $4.00 per. This proceeding involves the observation of the other phase of the precedent, name- ly, the utilization of the surplus receipts. The college, of course, understands that this price is charged in order to defray unquestionably the expenses contingent to the reception, with the reservation that all excess be devoted to the support of general or departmental athletics. It would make no difference, save on grounds of immediate expediency, to what department or branch of athletics this sum be presented. As it is now the receipts will inevitably cover all ex- penses to be met and will furnish forth a small or perhaps considerable emolu- ment. It will be with the confidence that this profit will be given to the advantage of athletics, that the college will sanction tqe exaction. Every one feels this and we consider the committee to have taken a preliminary cognizance of -the senti- ment. The precedent is only valid as a whole and carried to the complete im- port of it. We shall all feel that we are making a twofold contribution: one dona- tion to the success of the dance, and the other a present, in the nature of volun- tary subscriptions, to the athletic deficits or demands. About Books. In his “Battle of the Books” Swift gives a very interesting account of a contest between ancient and modern books. A glance into the library just at present brings this story to mind. One can imagine the hot engagement ensu- ing upon the arrival of each consign- ment of new books. The Ancients fight every foot of ground, but nevertheless steadily retired before the heavy on- slaughts of the Moderns. That there has been a severe battle, and that the Moderns have found it necessary to call upon all the available reserves is evident from the present appearance of the camping ground. The Ancients have retreated to the hills, and down below the Modems are busily engaged erect- ing barracks and breaking in the re- cruits. But all this is done at the ex- pense of the non-participants. They also have been obliged to retreat and have now taken up their abode in the Faculty Room. Apparently either the advance of New Books must cease, at no distant period, or floor space must be added to the building. Rows. On the opening day of fall term, ac- cording to our custom here, the usual row between the sophomores and the entering class took place. With the ex- ception of one or two slight disturbances there has been nothing of the kind since. The sophomores already know, and it should be impressed upon the freshmen, that nothing tends td promote and main- tain class spirit to such an extent as these rows between the underclassmen. It is on such occasions that the true man in every person is brought out. The fel- lows who have struggled side by side for the honor of their class are drawn to- gether by their common interest. It is an acknowledged fact that winter term, with the exception of dance week, is dull. Why can't we have a show of class rivalry in the shape of a snowball fight. Everything is favorable for such a contest. It will do the participants an immense amount of good by presenting an opportunity for giving vent to their pent-up enthusiasm, which we see shown in Wednesday chapels. Concert in St. Johnsville. It is hardly necessary to record here the sort of a time enjoyed by the musical clubs in this blooming village on the Central. Ask “Web” and Lambert, ask Dewey and Chas. Harwood.

On Thursday afternoon a small but dangerous blaze was started in the base- ment of the Psi U house. Conjectures as to the cause seem somewhat indeter- minate. With the timely arrival of some of the fellows at the house and those who were at hand the fire was extinguished. The departments from the town had hur- ried up to the scene of danger, but ar- rived too late to be of material aid. The Psi U’s and the college at large take oc- casion to express their gratitude for the services so willingly proffered by the Clinton boys. --The gymnasium is in constant use now by candidates who are trying for the. records of the winter exhibitions.

THE question of prize orations has been the subject of much comment on the hill during the past week. Various reasons have been given for the dismal failure in this department this year and the general concensus of opinion seems to be that it was due to a lack of time and that that lack was caused by a cer- tain subject made compulsory, which by all means ought to be an elective one. The book used was written in exceed- ingly crude and unpolished language and it is no wonder that the literary style of the seniors became warped by its perusal. There wasabsolutely no time left after struggling with MacKenzie on ethics or somebody else on cumulative evi- dences for five hour recitations weekly to write senior orations. These subjects ought not to be rejected altogether, but they should be made elective so that men who care to write orations will be given a reasonable chance to do so. In vain have we cried for more time, and the more we appeal the less sympathy we receive. This utter lack of good orations can- not be laid at the feet of the senior class but at the doors of the faculty. We have not been idle, we have not been shiftless, but we are so supremely hu- man that we are unable to do all that’ has been asked of us. We have been willing enough to work to the full ex- tent of our capacity but we can’t do everything. Give us a little pity, for mercy's sake, and we will show the ef- fect in K. P. THE coalescence of the Liz‘. and Re- view Boards is one that should com- mend itself to the college. There is HAMILTON LIFE. room for one good monthly here, but more than one is unnecessary. So we ha‘il,the new and revised Board with editorial pleasure and sincerely hope that» they will get out a publication en- tirely worthy of the college. THE entire college was grieved last week to hear of the serious illness of the father of Gilbert, ’o2, whose death oc- curred this week. The deepest sympa- thy is extended to him who has been called home on so sad a mission. "Gil.” is one of the most popular men of his class, and their respect to him is shown by the fact that the banquet which was to be given tonight and which in a large measure had been the product of his efforts, was postponed until some future date can be arranged. LIFE joins in extending deep condolence. Great Convention of Students in Toronto. The Fourth International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement will meet in Toronto, Canada, February 26th to March 2. The previous conven- tions were held at Cleveland in 1891, in Detroit in 1894, and in Cleveland in 1898, and were the largest meetings of students ever held. The last one was attended by over 2,200 delegates. Stu- dents will be sent as delegates from the institutions of higher learning from all sections of the United States and Canada, and it is probable that 500 institutions will be thus represented. Those in at- tendance will also include professors, national leaders of young people's or- ganizations, returned missionaries, rep- resentatives of Foreign Mission Boards, and editors of religious papers. The program will consist of addresses during the morning and evening ses- sions, and section meetings for the con- sideration of missions from the stand- point of phases of work. the different missionary lands and of the denomina- tions which are represented. The ad- dresses which will be given will d-eal with the obligation of promoting the missionary enterprise, the means which are essential to its success and its rela- tion to the students of this continent. Among the speakers are Mr. Robert E. Speer, Mr. John R. Mott, who will re- turn from his tour around the world to» preside at this convention. Right Rev. M. L. Baldwin, Bishop of Huron, Mr. L. D. Wishard, the first college Young Men’s Christian Association secretary, Bishop Caelslowaiy. President Capen of the Ameritcan Board of Foreign Mis- sions, Dr. and Mrs. F. Howard Taylor of China, and many returned mission- aries andrsecretaries of. Foreign Mission Boards. Student Christian leaders of other lands will also participate. The Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, which calls this con- vention, is one of the most remarkable‘ enterprises of students the world has- seen. It was started in 1886 when at the first Northfield Student Conference Ioo students expressed their desire and pur- pose to become foreign missionaries. The call to missions was taken the fol- lowing year by two Princeton students- to the colleges of the country. Two years later the Movement was definitely organized. As a result of its work sev- eral thousand capable college men and. women have been led to form the pur- pose to spend their lives on the mission» field,—-I,8oo have already been sent out by the regular missionary boards,— while similar movements have been in- augurated in Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia, South Africa, Australia and other countries. The citizens of Toronto will entertain delegates to the number of 2,500, and Hamilton is entitled to three such dele- gates. It will be an honor to be repre- sented at this World's Student Conven- tion. Concerning a Baseball Coach. During the past year every branch of athletics at Hamilton has finished its season without debt, and not only with- out debt, but also with a good surplus. Baseball made up a large deficit and had over $80 ahead at the close of the season. During the season about $125 was spent for coaching purposes. Last week the Advisory Board appropriated $50 for the expenses of coaching for the coming season. This action is practical- ly voting not to have a coach. It is im- possible to get a good man for any length of time with such a sum, and if a good coach can not be obtained it is bet- ter to go without. Football has had several successful seasons. When the subject of football coach”is brought up there is no hesitan- cy, and liberal grants are made. Ought any branch of athletics. ought baseball, to be slighted because it has had an un- successful season and is likely to have another? If so, baseball will always be i . i i -5 Ti 1/ '9; N. ? . .—u.._-_~_.r.(:.~_~.~__¢,4,;(,..“_-....e‘..;;.a_.._~,._ ,_ _g,_ _ _ , HAMILTON LIFE. 5 unsuccessful. It is the time to show your loyalty and college spirit when a team needs your support as well as when a team is highly successful. Offers of assistance are sure to pour in on us when it is evident we need aid. The outlook for baseball is dismal, but it would be a disgrace even to mention the possibility of not having a team, and it is a worse disgrace not to make the team the best that we can. To develop the material which is in college a coach is necessary, and a good coach, who can stay at least a month. Such men are available, and the Advisory Board ought to reconsider their action and appro- priate at least $200 for coaching pur- poses. J. DUBoIs HUNTER. Senior-_| unior Basket-ba ll Ga me The second game of the inter-class basket-ball series resulted in a decisive junior victory. The issue was never doubtful. The seniors were at no time in the game; and yet, struggling against the inevitable, they made a plucky up-hill fight. Although not closely contested, the game was “fair to look upon." Amusing incidents and sensational plays, chiefly the former, were frequent, and were well received by the small number who had gathered to witness the strife. Few of the grave old seniors were on hand to encourage their representatives, while the juniors were supported bya goodly bunch. The score, 54-6, tells the story of the game. The “Borrowing" of Sleds. During the past two weeks the whole college has suffered at the hands of somebody who seems to think the sleds used here on the hill are common prop- erty. There are times when it is incon- venient to draw a sled to the dormitory or place it on the porch of your house. But of late this has been a necessity. It should not be so; a sled should be as safe anywhere on the hill as under the seal of the United States. Of course, there is no fellow in college who would commit such a misdemeanor. But we should be more aggressive in the protec- tion of our common interests and en- deavor to detect the offender. It be- hooves every one of us to keep a sharp lookout and when a sled is taken by a party whom we know has no right to it to administer the punishment which we think justifiable.

Some difficulties were to be obviated in deter- mining upon the decisive date, but the’ committee has officially announced that such it shall be, and consequently it be- hooves the entire college body to have this demonstration in prospect. We need not say that the event will acquit all expectations. Those who enjoyed the part of spectators at the one of last year can vouch for its merit and may corre- spondingly predict its complete eclipse this year. The committee, conjointly with “Uncle John," has labored unremit- tingly and will continue to do so in order the; the anticipations which the event will arouse may not be roughly soused. The interest of all in the approaching fete is presupposed. and we need not exhort and urge the inevitable support which will be accorded the efforts of the superintendents and participants. The contestants include well-nigh all the underclassmen and the select per- formers of the college at large. The event is an assured success as an intrin- sic one of merit, and nothing must con- tribute to frustrate its satisfactory exe- cution on the consideration of receipts. We must have our proceeds. Let every man center his enthusiasm on the day and its duties. Many are hard at work and they deserve unstinted requital. Dis- seminate the interest, each and every one. Whoop it up‘ For college, “Uncle John,” and for ourselves. The Northern Trip. Yesterday at II o’clock the Glee and Musical Clubs started on the “bruited" Northern trip. Owing to some inad- vertency the demonstration in Water- town fell through and the constituents confessed their inability adequately to entertain the representatives of the col- lege. This was at best a bad misfor- tune, since the good impression which the concert ind sputably would have en- grafted on the up—state mind might have wrought us no little advantage. But “the best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley;” and yet we regret to see foundations undermined. The clubs are to give their concert proper in Carthage, where Hamilton is already represented in both graduate and undergraduate constituencies. By the time this proclamation shall have been read in column the thespians and min- ions of the muse will have trudged back in serried file. Aside from the entertainment to be furnished by our immediate‘ representa- tives in the “concerted way" the towns- men intend to reciprocate by proffering to the members of the organizations an opportunity to banquet, yet we trust not to drain the bowl. Hospitality in the nature of a plenteous “feed" is to be ac- corded the inner and more susceptible man. 1 One of_ the requests forwarded by those in charge of these arrangements was that a representative of the faculty should accompany the clubs, in order to exploit and prospect the intellectual fields in the interests of Hamilton. It was with great self-congratulation that the management learned from “Prex" that he could act in this capacity. There will surely be a feast of fun and a riot of revelry, as well as sound and solid rep- resentation of old Hamilton in the post- edible addresses. Neither the body nor the mind need pine, but both must ban- quet. The program will present sub- stantially the same attractions, varied here and there by innovations. Here's to the safe, secure return of each minstrel to his haven. Inter-Class Debate. The inter-class debate which was scheduled for the first of February has been deferred until the 22nd. No one of the contestants saluted the intelligence with a February face; so at least we are informed. This will assuredly give all the competitors ample leisure for their preparation and research. The cause of the transfer was the communication from the intended speaker for the anni- versary of Washington's birthday, stat- ing his regretted inability to address the college. The debate will be held in conjunction with other entertainment on the forenoon of the day, beginning at half—past ten o'clock. The question reads: “Resolved,That the recent franchise restrictions in the Southern States are justifiable.” The juniors for the affirmative are represented by Messrs. Carmer, Blakely, Allbright and Root. The seniors for the negative will be represented by Messrs. Warren, Ward, Frear and Drummond. Opinion. All sorts of rumors are rife as to the now famed Hall of Commons. These comments run every gamut from the severest of stricture to hilarious approv- al and congratulation. the idea absurd while others plaint with- out a fear their satisfaction in the face of opposing sentiments. As to the pur- poses of this intended domicile the spec- ulations are even more diverse and wifd. Some say that it is intended to compel all the students to eat at the common board; others have diffused reports that the faculty was even to partake of the Commons’ fare. But these wildcat ex- pressions of conjecture we hope have no foundation. Some consider I __-«;..‘...=..>z;.:«.\ ,.- . . .. .2 .: - 'j‘:_,.’.‘?f~;::_;».j-:"s2~,_:-- _ -.... HAMILTON. LIFE. Some insist that before we Commons we must have a commodious and modern dormitory. They say that the snares are to be in series and that the trap must be led up to by a series of successive snares. At the present writing opinion seems to assert that the house is built for no prospective tenant. The expres- sions on this point vacillate as pendu- lums ’twixt smiles and tears. The college proper has its beliefs and trusts well guarded. But we believe that before the Commons should be erected a well accoutred dormitory. We be- lieve such an edifice takes precedence of the other. Since we are to have the Commons Hall now without a doubt we need say nothing of other needs which - might in all good order supersede it. But we certainly believe in the dormi- tory first, for the accommodation of the men who are supposed to be its pros- pective patrons. All prefer bed to board and consequently this preference must be deferred to. VVhatever the intentions_ of the architects and contractors unpro- fessional may be, it is worth delibera- tion, namely, that the prepossessions of the students be considered. The inau- guration of this regime. if perfected and established, will involve considerable revolution in some way or other. It will mean perhaps migration and re—institu- tion of old interests on new and untried ground. It will involve executive and economic problems the solution of which will prove momentous if not stupendous. Those in charge of the project must needs anticipate antagonism at any odds or in any event, and this must be thawed and not throttled. The opposition to the scheme, wherever it is, is based on a failure to foresee and penetrate the pur- pose and philosophy of this procedure. Some derive from it no cue to its philan- thropy if such is pondered. Many con- sider it desirable yet doubt its feasibility; others resent it thoroughly; others with unreasoning sanguineness predict its un- exampled and inevitable success. The former class is the one to which mem- bership is most desirable. We want it, but we want to be assured of its purposes and practicability. Can we know before the tide of opinion sets strong in an op- posing current?

Having left New York with a strong ‘westerly breeze, we soon reached the usual pleasant southern route of steam- ers bound for the Mediterranean. The weather was perfect and we landed in Naples on December 21, a warm, Indian- summer-like day. Crossing the Atlantic was the same old story; watching the daily runs of the ship, betting on them; out-of-siglit-out-of-mind friendships; girls flirting, as soon as they were able to keep »-down the sloppy tea and soups which they would take; swearing and drinking ‘young fellows, who prefer to pick up an education on the wing rather than by '“bohning" at prep. school or college; the gay widow, who is rapidly laying off her mourning-—none too rapidly for the at- tentions she accepts; sedate middle—aged people going to sunny Italy, Greece or Egypt; the bad brass band, composed of stewards in disguise, and so on. My room-mate, or “choom,” as he ex- pressed it, was a German architect who had been traveling in America and ad- mired our clothes, shoes and women more than our buildings. He had six pairs of American shoes, of which he was as proud as he was of his resem- blance to Emperor William. He did look like the emperor, but barring his turned-up moustache he had no warlike bearing. He was a bachelor of thirty-six and was crazy over the American girls, who could not understand his English. “Ach, Gott,” he would groan, “if I knew English more perfectly these young la- -dies would already stop laughing at me.” He knew not a little English, French, Italian, but pronounced very badly and insisted upon transferring the German modal adverbs and auxiliaries into every language. He carried a pocket diction- ary and constantly appealed to that or to me to finish a sentence, the gist of which the American beauty or the Italian beast (the cabman) had caught long ago. For twenty-four hours he was charmed with Naples. “Ya, ya; see Naples and die,” and wrote the most effusive post cards to Germany. Then came the sirocco,which lasted five days, accompanied by thun- der, lightning and hurricane. “Wahers Hundes Wetter,” growled he, “and this is sunny Italy!" The African coast was grand and cold, the mountains snow-covered, yet when we entered the harbor of Algiers it was warm and summer-like, so well protect- ed is it. Gibraltar and Algiers were lighted by glorious sunsets. Naples is the same dirty city that it was thirty years ago, endowed by nature with the finest views, blessed with a great museum, and close at hand are Capri, Sorrento, Vesuvius, Pompeii, but it is cursed with a filthy populace and a corrupt government. CROSSING THE APENNINES. New Year’s day I saw the most beau- tiful sunrise behind Vesuvius and Cas- tellamare and a glorious sunset on the bay of Tarentum. I had crossed the Apennines from Naples to Brindisi, taking twelve hours for it.‘ Cross-coun- try trains are slow the world over. The through trains from one country to an- other are as fast and as fine as any. The railroad itself is a great feat of engineer- ing, with its galleries and loop tunnels, but there is little chance for reading and much smoke and dust. It was very cold. Three times they changed the hot water cans, which were coils of lead pipe. The train crept slowly up the ascents at a snail’s pace and rushed madly down the inclines, at such a pace that the brake- man could hardly stop the train at the switches, to wait there half an hour for coming up trains to pass. The Ap_en- nines are bleak and barren, stripped of trees, the highest, snow-covered. Only a few small birds are to be seen, a few magpies, now and then a discouraged herd of mules, donkeys, goats and sheep. The shepherds looked half I starved, and neither they not their dogs showed any interest in theitrain. Just before reaching Sor.rento we stopped at Metaponto, a more modern village now, but near and beneath it lies a powerful ancient Greek city, in which Pythagoras died, aged 90 years, in 497 B. C. Rome laid it in ruins because it took part with Hannibal. CROSSING THE ADRIATIC. At Brindisi I took an Austrian Lloyd steamer for Patras, stopping at Santa Anaranto in Albania and at Corfu, and passing Ithaca at night. The weather is still fine. There are two parties of Americans on board. One man, a young architect, is on a trip around the world. Waiting for the'train at Patras, I bought two Greek newspapers, but rubbed my eyes when I found each dated December 21, a gain of twelve days, giving me an- other Christmas and another New Year's day. The train from Patras was very slow, giving plenty of time to observe the country and people and to read the long names of the stations. The capital letters bother me. It is like reading an old Greek manuscript. In the newspa- per headings are a great variety of them. As Dr. Johnson was amazed that even the children in France spoke French, so I was surprised to hear the children speak Greek so rapidly. One barefooted boy called “Sweet apples” in a melodi- ous voice. I bought some. Oneida county apples are better. At the next station I gave them to the handsomest little children, dark-haired, dark-skinned and barefooted, who received them with smiles and delight. At one station we took on a carload of turkeys, who talked Turkish like American turkeys. Poor things! the Italians and Greeks are cruel to animals. The street car horses are poorly fed and overdriven. The porter who speaks English, or thinks he does, says that the horses will be "demolished" next month, when the “electrician” car will be “introductioned." ATHENS. This morning, though it began to rain, ‘I went out to the Acropolis, following Baedeker’s route. Oh, but the Acropolis is great! In spite of the rain and the 2 HAMILTON LIFE. slippery rocks and the guide who tried to find out whether I spoke English, French, Italian or German,who finally left me in disgust as a “spacheless Irish- man." What a wonderful people these Greeks were! The Roman Forum is not nearly as imposing as these ruins. When the Persians had destroyed the Acropolis of Peisistratos, Perikles planned and built a new and finer one. Those abom- inable Turks made a fortress of it, the Venetians shelled the Parthenon, Lord Elgin robbed it. It is a wonder that there is anything left. Christmas eve. Today has been very fine, the sun rose clear behind Hymettos. In the evening I called at the American Archeological Institute, which has a fine house a little out of town toward Lyka- batos, which is a high hill commanding a grand view of the plain, the city and the mountains. The climb took several hours, but is worth while. Professor Richardson, of Dartmouth, who is per- manent director, is out of town, but I found a young man and two young wom- en at work in the library of the Institute. Any college which subscribes $250 a year has the privilege of sending a graduate there for study. Hamilton should be a subscriber. Are we not a classical college that gives no A. B. with- out Greek? Is there not a generous alum- nus who will give $5ooo to make Hamilton a permanent member of the Institute? In summer the American Institute is digging at Corinth. The German, French and English have their Institutes and are doing valuable work in investigation and in training specialists. The head of the German Institute, Dr. Doerpfeld, is now digging at Ithaca, for which work a pri- vate citizen of Athens is hearing the ex- pense. Dr. Doerpfeld thinks that Leo- kos, not Ithaca, is the Ithaca of Homer. Surely, the spade is mightier than the pen! At four, I went again to the Acropolis to see the sunset, a. grand sight! The Acropolis is much larger than I ima- gined, and the plain and the moun- tains of Attica are smaller. Last evening I went to the Olympian, which has been laid bare by the French Arche- ological Society. Sixteen large columns are still standing on a broad terrace, which forms a fine promenade. One hundred Corinthian columns formed what Livy called “temgfilam ummz in ter- ris inclwatem pro magnitudzhe zz’ez‘." Hadrian finished it in 129 A. D. It was not built in a day. The Stadium is now being restored through the munificence of a wealthy Greek. Herodes Atticus restored it in 140 A. D., but all the marble seats have since been used for forts, churches and lime-making. They are now partly rebuilt. Hundreds of men were working there last Sunday. The revived Olympian games were held there. When the work is finished it will be a grand place for sports. VVhile I was prowling about alone in the dark, the great bells of the Metro- politan Church began to ring for evening service. The Greek Church gives more stress to bells and bell—ringing than to the adornment of the churches. When on top of Lykabettos I sawa large cross erected, and wondered what it was for. This evening, illuminated by electric lights, it shone far over the country. Small bands of boys, singing and play- ing primitive instruments, are going about the streets celebrating Christmas eve. Christmas day, though it was clear and cold, all Athens was out of doors. Men without overcoats, thin1y—clad women, bare-legged children, thronged the squares or sat shivering about little iron tables. All look hardened and bronzed by the weather. The modern Greeks are still an outdoor people. I prowled about all the morning, looking for the Tower of the Winds, the old cemetery, the Dipylon. The Tower of the Winds is really an old timepiece and weather sta- tion, having had a water clock, sun dial and weather cock. In the frieze eight winds are represented, besides the cus- tomary fnur—these are Lips, S. W.; Kackias, N. E.; Skiron, N. W., and Ape- liotes, S. E. Athens is the only Greek city with a street of tombs. The finest of them is the tomb of Dexileos, a young Athenian who distinguished himself in the Corin- thian War. 394-395 B. C. A large bull and a Molossian hound decorate other tombs. I have given up Egypt, which I fear would be an anticlimax. Athens is good enough for me. Nothing can be grander than the Acropolis. —The Pentagon was treated to a fine dinner at Prexy’s on Thursday evening.‘ —The Misses Benedict entertained right royally last evening at Houghton. —The basket-ball team plays Roches- ter at Rochester tonight and Yale at Utica Feb. 8. —The musical clubs will entertain in the college chapel Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 P.

On Wednesday evening the basket- ball teams of Hamilton and Colgate met. in the gymnasium of the latter, and after‘ a fierce struggle Colgate was victorious- by the score of Io—g. The band of itinerant minstrels, led by Hawley, left us at Deansboro, and- gave us a cordial yell as we moved? majestically out of that metropolis. At Hamilton we put up at the Park‘ House. After supper we adjourned to- Colgate’s gymnasium, where a large- crowd was awaiting us. After a little; practice the ball was put in play. Colgate rotighed it up from the start, and in a short time scored a difficult basket, followed by a foul. Tommy had. a chance at a foul and accepted it. From then on till the end of the half the game was very fast. Little team work was exhibited by either side, the- guards merely throwing the ball to the other end of the hall. After fifteen. minutes of play Tamblin scored a beau- tiful basket, anil followed it with an- other foul, leaving the score at the end of the half 8-2. During the intermission Colgate fav- ored us with a few selections, whereupon Busch, Naylor and A. S. Davis, our sole representatives, gave a regular yell with great eclat, amid terrific applause. The second half was a repetition of the first. Hard, earnest playing pre- vailed throughout, the lack of science being atoned for by the earnestness of the combat. Colgate threw a basket after five min- utes of play. Tommy got our first goal and second foul about the same time. At this point the referee was knocked down, by mistake, it is presumed.. Schwab a little later was almost knocked down by being hit in the face with the ball, and had a foul called on him for it I’ Peet presumed it was for pushing the ball with his face. Up and down the floor went the ball. Colgate ran her total up to nineteen, and we got one more goal and another foul-, before time was called. The line up: Hamilton. Colgate, Left Forward. P‘-‘let.

THERE has been much comment in the press during the past week on the matter of painting in the town during fall term. Without condemnation of those who are unsullied by personal re- venge and ‘who believe in justice in all cases, we cannot refrain from expressing our opinion of those who, catering to our patronage and greedy for the gains which college men by nature find pleas- ant to spend, have seen fit to condemn by speech and in some cases publish opinions upholding the attorney, who, looking forward to petty prominence and a good share of the lucre to be obtained by exorbitant charges, has sent bills to the sophomore class for painting alleged to have been done by them on “paint night." As a matter of true evidence the class in question has offered at divers times to put all buildings said to be dam- aged in just as good condition as they were previously; but to be asked by these persons, who seek by this method to take advantage where they think there may be a possibility of receiving money beyond that which honesty ap- proves, is considered by it as unjust, un- fair and unworthy of the citizens of a place which, by its very nature and posi- tion, receives gratis the best talent and good. money that the student body and faculty possesses. This attorney, who has put himself on record as one who is willing to extort money beyond that which justice demands for the sake of personal gain, breathes not the breath of anghonest purpose. Untrue, indeed, would we be to our ideals if we did not,u,rge with all forces in ourgpower that the. class committing theofffense, if such. there he, did not pay a reasonable sum for their fun. But equally do we urge with the same earn- estness of purpose that they resist with all materials in their power this attempt on the part of a greedy attorney and an extorting populace to wring from their pockets that which they have no reason to expect and no right to demand. This is a matter which concerns not only the sophomore class but every per- son on College Hill. Pay what reasona- bly appears proper, but by no means allow such unprincipled demands to draw unjustly from your well-earned means. THE necessity of a press association in this college has been proven con- clusively by the glaring misstatements of some correspondents of the Utica pa- pers for the past two or three weeks; one of these refers to the new Commons Hall; the “clannishness” of anything but the dormitory system of rooming, etc. As a mere matter of history, it may be well to say that there never was such ill- feeling in college as there was at the time when all the men were in the dor- mitories, and that there never has been better feeling than at present under the Lodge system. This press association should be formed before spring term, so that all these matters can be properly reported and Hamilton may appear in her true light before the world. Is THERE any reasonable excuse for the reading room remaining unlighted until after heavy darkness has fallen? Can there be any mitigating circum- stances which can offer the slightest pre- text for compelling men to read in the dark or light the lamps themselves when some one is paid to do that work? We leave the answer to every reasonable man in college, and unless a change for the better is manifested we earnestly recommend that some one be appointed who will do the work properly and on time. THE game with Colgate Wednesday evening disclosed two weak spots in our team; one, is the lamentable failure of each man to remember the rest of the team and forget his own man at the proper time in the game. Individual members are not aggressive enough; hey don’t play with the concerted action which alone can bring them‘ victory; they don't pass the ball well; they fol- low along behind their opponent too m._,uch;. they need to “get into the game" morei aha‘ they allow the opposite side to lead, instead of doing it themselves. The second weakness is in the lack of train- ing. The team must realize that they cannot play a game unless they are pre- pared for it. What can we expect to do with Rochester today or Yale next Sat- urday unless some good, consistent train- ing is done right away. Any man on the team who willingly fails to train so that. Hamilton can be represented at her best is liable to the censure of the student body, and it doesn’t pay to incur the dis-» pleasure of the college too often. LIFE adds its entire sanction to the- recent appeal of the baseball captain for‘ more money for a coach. Let the Ad- visory Board do as well at least as it did. last year. THE letter from Dr. Brandt, which ap- pears on another page of this issue, is gratefully acknowledged by the LIFE Board. We wish our absent professor the best of times and trips. D. T. Banquet. Last Saturday evening, at the Butter- field Hotel in Utica, the D. T. Club held its annual banquet. At six o’clock the members assembled in the hotel lobby, and shortly afterwards repaired to a dining-room secured for their especial use. The elaborate menu prepared by the hotel management was certainly ap- preciated, if one can judge from the- rapidity with which the different courses- disappeared. During the banquet stories were told by several fellows and imper- sonations rendered by Louie Ehret. After eating, the club indulged in a few songs and then left in a body for the Orpheum. Here all enjoyed themselves immensely, and before taking the eleven. o’clock car for Clinton voted the affair a. great success. New Flag on the Campus. On all patriotic occasions it is ex- tremely fitting for Old Glory to be dis- played, not only from some stately flag- pole, but also from every private resi- dence. To every thinking and patriotic person the sight of this emblem brings to his view the image of the past and the hopes of the future. This morning, however, there was put to the breeze from the third story of Old South a conglomeration of colors, an apology for a flag, presumably to com- memorate some patriotic action. From HAMILTON LIFE. 5 a distance I judged the materials in this flag were somewhat similar to those em- ployed in making the first American flag, raised over Fort Stanwix. The most deplorable fact, however, was that the owner was hauling in this flag, undoubtedly in recognition of de- feat. But I suspect a deeper reason was the impending lack of bed and wearing apparel for the night. This flag of un- known nationality brings to one's mind the picture of a practical joker doing a good stroke of mischief for his room- mate to unravel and put to rights. ——/1. H. M., '05. Society News, “Bugs" gave a reception to about thirty juniors and sophomores at his rooms in Science Hall Wednesday. Cats were served. Prex announces that the senior-junior “brain barbecue” scheduled for January 31 has been postponed until Washing- ton’s birthday. The committee has decided that stu- dents wearing sweaters at the junior promenade will not be permitted to dance. A stag party was given by one of so- ciety’s leaders at his rooms in North College Thursday night in honor of “Schnitzie’s” “skie terrier.” Several dogs were present. A committee from the freshman class is arranging. for a trolley ride to Summit Park on Washington's birthday. There will be dancing on the pavilion and strolling through the grove. This will be hot stuff. A prominent society leader denies the published reports that the recent meet- ing of the inter-class debaters was for the purpose of forming a chin band. It is authoritatively denied that the charming terrier, Robert McDuff, broke one of his wisdom teeth while chewing a sofa pillow in room 27, South College, Friday. It is believed that the report was circulated in the interest of a. local dental firm. Society buds will be delighted to hear that Miss Daisy Hardchaw has found her gum.

Clinton, St. Johnsville, Carthage—all that the musical clubs had of a longed- for week's trip. But if, as the saying goes, "all‘s well that ends well,” last week was arecord breaker for good times. The clubs went to Carthage last Friday with the purpose of capturing that town for the buff and blue, and they came back “in the consciousness of duty done”. We shall all look forward to the harvest of this trip, in the way of a number of Carthagenians enrolled in “Square’s" little account book. The start was made at twelve o'clock from Clinton; and from that time until the clubs were back on the Hill on Sat- urday, no one could complain of dull times. The foresight of the manager saw at once that his men must “eat to live”, so with a generous hand he al- lowed every man a. quarter for noon ra- tions. The time between trains in Utica was spent in using the allowance to its fullest extent, although it is said that Knox scrimped himself on dinner to buy a box of cigarettes. The three hours’ ride on the train was rendered enjoyable by many devices. Most of the fellows who knew how, and were not busy “sitting with afriend”, played cards. The glee club practiced in one end of the train, while “Web", with his familiar old coffin by his side, showed ofi the mandolin club in the smoker. It is a question whether the passengers realized what a good time the fellows were having. The concert in the evening was the best that the clubs have given. It was held in the Methodist church, and at-’ tended bya numerous and enthusiastic audience. As to the program it was practically the same as the one given at St. Johnsville, exceptlthat there was great improvement in the rendering. The instrumental selections showed what a difference constant practice makes; and the glee club although it sang from a rather disadvantageous position ac- quitted itself in the usual commendable manner. Downey's impersonations and Dewey's stunts were enjoyed and en- cored as always. After the entertainment came the most enjoyable part of the whole trip. In a room adjoining the church a ban- quet was prepared, at which about one hundred and twenty-five people sat down for an hour or two of good eating and toasting. Handsome menu cards suited to the occasion and tied with Hamilton ribbons were at each plate. The fellows have nothing but words of praise for the young ladies who waited on the tables. At intervals throughout the evening the college songs were sung and the yells given. The toasts after the banquet were especially entertain- ing. "]ohn” did himself proud in re- sponding to the music of Hamilton, and “Prexie” finished the program with a ,, .___ _,-..,;a.-..;..~ - ,. :../. .\...;..... .r... ; ;.,..:-afixtw .., .~_.,§«..x._-‘.~—_..L.;r ..~;. -.

Nothing impressed the people of Carthage more than to see our President "out with the boys” and helping them along; and we too admire him for it. Saturday morning at 9:30 We left with regret the scene of our short but pleas- ant sojourn. The station was the place of many a fond farewell. Our special car had a temperature of 10 degrees Far- enheit, but as everyone rode in the other coaches enjoying cards and "friends", the cold brought no inconvenience. The entertainment at Carthage was in the hands of the Y. M. C. A. That or- ganization and the townspeople them- selves Prex. well commended when he said that if every place that the clubs visited furnished such enjoyment there would be but little college at Clinton. Indoor Exhibition. Gratifying progress is being made along all the feats and stunts which are to be executed at the approaching in- door exhibition. “Uncle John” assures all that the demonstration of this year will outvie in every detail that of all precedent. He is preparing at least eight novel events which had no part or pros- pect of one in last year's program. By the 19th of the month perfection will be perfected.

The Weekly» P1/tblZ'66lf’l'0fi of Hezmzfion College. Vol. IV. CLINTON, N. Y., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1902. A Communication. T 0 the Ea’z'z‘ors of Life .' As briefly as possible I would like to mentionafew of the ways in which a press association or news bureau would be of benefit to the college. Your edi- torial of last week seemed to take for granted that such a bureau would be valuable as a censor of news. To me it seems that its greatest value would be, not asa check on the sending out of ‘news and news matter, but as a stimulus to just such efforts. If I am right in as- -suming that any honorable means of ad- vertising would be acceptable to the college, then a news bureau could be made very valuable. At present there are a number of the fellows sending out college news and gossip. The Utica pa- pers, the Associated Press, the New York Sun, the New York E7/eizing Post, and probably some others, have repre- sentatives here. In every case, except that of the Post, which takes only edu- cational matters, many opportunities are lost which might be turned to good ac- count in keeping Hamilton before the people. If we were to form a news as- sociation next week, it could begin right away to advertise the coming inter- scholastic field meet. Besides the reg- ular matters of news that take from one to ten inches space in the papers, there is a class of gossip that is always read. By this I mean personal mention. Im- mediatelyupon hearing the announce- ment of prize winners, commencement speakers,ietc., there should be someone to sit down and write the news to the papers at homesrof the successful men. In this class of news matter should be included appointments and the names of the winners in “K. P.,’? prize and inter- class debates; menielected to class of- fices, and whist club offices; appoint- mente on dance committees; winners of scholarships, medals, prize speaking, prize essays;‘ elections to fraternities, men chosen for the Pentagon, men ma- king‘ the ‘various athletic teams and other items of a personal nature. If Hamil- ton is beaten at basket-ball, and but one of her players makes a brilliant play, the play should be told about in the player‘s home paper. The people there won’t know or care who Won, but they are interested in their iellow—townsman. The same is true of all games, prize winnings, etc. But you say that sort of thing is of no importance. There's where you are wrong. The best adver- tising is not done by periodical column “ads,” but by smaller “ads” kept run- ning all the time. People out in a Mon- tana village might see a column article once a year about Hamilton College and never read it. But when these same people run across the name of their minister’s or doctor’s or grave diggers son every month in the personal col- urnns, and see it coupled with the name of Hamilton College, they begin to won- der and soon to investigate. That’s all we want. Let them make inquiries and they are coming our way. We have the goods here and we can deliver them,and oncea man is interested it won~’t take long to persuade him. Another way in which a news bureau could do good would be in encouraging the students to write about interesting or unusual events at college. If there is anyone at Hamilton, and there must be some, who can write a good, original, half-column description of the next chapel or flag row, of the coasting, or of some other local feature, he can sell it any day to the New York papers and get five, dollars for it. This is not muni- ficent pay, but it represents what you will get for a week's work after you have taken your degree. If, however, you don't care for the money, send your story to a‘Utica or Syracuse or Albany paper. If it isn’t published you may conclude that it is pretty bad," and the experience will be good for you. Don’t be afraid of tramping on anyone’s toes. If some other fellow is recognized as correspondentfor a certain paper, that's no“reason- why you ‘should not ‘ write for it. Send in your “stuff” every week; twice, three times a week. create an extra demand. The extra demand will please the editor and--her will raise the pay of his regular corres- pondent. Any pay that might be earned by writing for papers should not be turned into the common fund. plan would fail inside of six months, he- causeafew would be doing the work», and all would be getting the glory-—if it reallv wereglory. to be raised by subscription. take at least thirty dollars a year for paper, envelopes and stamps. Now as to a news bureau acting as a: censor. The ideais not practical. News to be of value must be sent as soon as it is gathered. No time can be spared to; hunt up a censor who would pass or re-. ject it. there is a stronger one why the censor- ship is out of the question. In conver- sation a few days ago with the corres- pondents of two Utica papers, the New York Sun, the Associated Press and the» Scripps-McCrea Press Association I was, told by them that it would be neither practical nor convenient for them to sub-- mit their news matter, such as it might) be, to censorship. To sum it up, let me say that a news bureau at Hamilton, to be successful, must have for its aim the encouragement of news writing; it must not interfere with the individual mem- bers; it must be run at a loss; its ef-~ forts must be sustained and continuous.‘ and not spasmodic. —At the Yale bi-centennial there were representatives of one hundred and" thirty American colleges and‘u‘ni-versi-B ties, and thirty foreign institutions. -—-The schedule of the_ Triangular League football games next fall is as follows: Nov. 8, Amherst vs. Williams at Amherst; Nov. 15, Williams vs. Wes- leyan at Williamstown; Nov. 22, Wes- leyan vs. Amherst at Middletown.

On Sunday or a day, prior the mail- maulers were alarmed at the unwonted bulk of each outgoing carriage of letters. As this is an effect and a result which had a cause, we must attribute the amassed correspondence to the fact that the last cumulative summons had been forwarded to all our invited guests. In- deed, we postulate this as the only ra- tional for the fact, as in view of the sub- sequent events it has no other basis for our consideration. The communications must have been cogently couched with all finesse of indited emotion, since each dispatcher seems to have survived his expectancy to his and the general glee. Sunday was as the dusk which pre- curses the eve of an approaching dawn. Chapel was a chaos of irresponsive paces. All seemed to bend their gaze across a vacancy upon a green. The weather was highly out of touch with everybody's touched condition. Storm and stress in -the atmosphere portended the delay and tarriance of trains, and this meant “hopes which was then mock” to the solicitous. Monday dawned more doomedly than ever Sunday did. No hopes to come to fruition, apparently. Expletives freight the air. Exclamations more or less strenuous load every tongue. The weather is the objective of each impre- cation and orthodox anathema. But with the dawn of Tuesday appearances were bettered as far as the rampancy of the storm concerned itself. But the snow! Wowser! It seemed as though upheavals from below and avalanches from above had been our portion. Snow- flakes lay in serried ranks so firm as to prostrate the pedestrian. Drifts were insurmountable and impregiiable to all save the reliable “Bill” Dawes, who saved the day. So we were prepared for the co-operation of Wednesday and Thursday with their suns in making the coasting fair and reputable. DELTA UPSILON. On Tuesday night the gentlemen of Delta Upsilon gave their reception. The immense crowd was well provided for and entertained in the manner Hamil- tonian. The music was such as "soothes the savage ;" the floors were fine and the entire function favored all. As guests at the D. U. house were Mrs. Shepard, Mrs. M. W. Stryker, Mrs. Benton, Mrs.White and Mrs. M Jackson as chaperons and patronesses. Others in attendance were Miss Landis of Philadelphia, Miss Seely of Waterville, Miss Ruane of Water- ville, Miss Schmidt of Ilion, Miss Mc- Carthy of Carthage, Miss Timian of Hamilton, Miss Leverrnann and Miss Martin of Utica, Miss Haight of Water ville, Miss Mix of Clinton, Miss Childs of Utica, and Miss Young, also of Utica. CONCERT. On the afternoon of Wednesday the musical clubs showed their willingness to entertain the guests of the week. They sang. played and recited in the same way as of yore. Its complete success means that henceforth this will form one of the most enjoyable functions of dance week. The special numbers were enthusias- tically received. Dewey never sang bet- ter, “Web” did himself proud and Downey was in his element. The pro- gram follows: I. “With Word and Will,” Glee Club 2. Coon Town Melody, Mandolin Club 3. Reading, Downey, '05 4. Mazurka, Banjo Club 5. Solo——Dreams, l-lawley 6. Interlude, Webster 7. “Honey, I Want Yer Now,” Glee Club 8. Championship March, Mandolin Club 9. Reading, Downey, ’o§ IO. Life's Lessons, Glee Club PSI UPSILON. On Wednesday night a threefold fes- tivity was on. The gentlemen of Psi Upsilon, Alpha Delta Phi and Chi Psi received in characteristic manner, eclip- sing even precedent. At the home of the Psi U's the dance was its own perfection. What music, what assisting. floors, and the crowd——well, it was a “corker” of a dance. Mrs. I. S. ‘Signor of Albion, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. McCarthy of Auburn and Mrs. Nichols of Clinton were patron- esses. The other guests were Miss Signor of Albion, Misses Prescott and Porter of Rome, the Misses White of Taberg, Miss Hough of Chicago, Miss De Land of Fairport, Miss Zimmerlin of Lyons, Misses Schott and Garrison of VVater- loo, Miss Boswortli of Rochester, Miss Inman of Ithaca, Miss Miller of Utica and Miss McCarthy of Auburn, Messrs. Bacon, Yawger, Smith of Hamilton, I900 and bi; respectively, Mrs. Foster of Rochester University, and Mr. Garrison of Waterloo. L CHI PSI. Those who attended the Chi Psi dance were certainly the most satisfied com- pany that could be imagined. There was no drawback to abandoned enjoy- ment. The floor was great and the music better; the function had no flaw and 'twas a bird of paradise, in short. Mrs. Dr. Frost of Rome and Mrs. Fred Smyth of Clinton superintended as patronesses. At the house party as guests are Miss Florence Fowler of Syracuse, Miss Ger- trude Leggett of Albany, Miss Claudia Edwards of Rome, Miss Murry of Utica, Miss Knox of Penn Yan, Miss Russell of Elmira, Miss Erskine of Mt. Vernon, Miss Bessie Porter of Rome, Miss Pipe of Brooklyn, Miss Florence Benedict of Clinton, Miss Searles of Rome, Mr. Frank Ostrander, Union, 1902, and Rick and Charlie Hatch, 1901, Hamilton. ALPHA DELTA PHI. On account of the other two dances taking place on the same night, the guests of the Alpha Delta Phi were corn- ing and going throughout the evening, thus avoiding the inconvenience of an overcrowded floor. Dancing continued until three o’clock, interrupted by a half hour for light refreshments at twelve. The patronesses. for the evening were Mrs. Brandt. Mrs. Benton and Mrs. Shep- ard. Among the guests were Miss Os- trom, Miss Evarts, Miss Smith of Bing- hamton, Miss Hutchins and Miss Reid of Lowville, Miss Day, Miss Retter and Miss Pomeroy of Utica, Miss Metcalf and Miss Wicks of Clinton. It was an especial pleasure to see so many of the members of the faculty present. THE PROM. The class of ioo3 made up for their loss of Sophomore I-lop by giving an excellent Prom. The numbers present equalled if not eclipsed those of any so far held. It was a grand dance and the dream of it will not fade from memory when those present shall have scattered to their homes. The committee consisted of Elihu Root, In, M. B. Landers, F. D. Croft,- P. T. Harper, J. S. Carmer, R. H. Jones, L. A. Harlcness, R. E. Morris. The patroness were: Mrs. Stryker, Mrs. Brandt, Mrs. Root, Mrs. Fitch, Mrs. Shepard and Mrs. C. H. Smyth, Jr. The boxes were decorated very pret- tily and showed well the wisdom of hav- ing no booths. sold. Gartland furnished the music. SIGMA PHI. On Friday night the gentlemen of Sigma Phi received at their hall. This was one of the good dances of the week. Although it was given after junior prom... About 90 tickets were _/ HAMILTON LIFE. the previous night's revelry did not seem to detract in the least from the enjoy- ment of all. Every one had a right royal good time. The patronesses were Mrs. Stryker, Mrs. Root, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. C. H. Smyth.

The long—cherished fair ones have been in our midst; they have -feasted at our tables and watched our feeble efforts to entertain with uncon- cealed pleasure; we have coasted the hill, feeling proud of the responsibility and glad of the chance to s/zaw /zow well -we could steer; we have heard the gentle flattery of our dancing ability and worked our hardest to receive that token of ap- probation. And we have talked; Lord, how we have talked! The vast storehouses of knowledge, the comic papers, the college publications, have all been used and worn threadbare. The discipline com- mittee has formed a goodly portion of the conversation among certain members or the college; they have been sent to all sorts of hideous places for their “ar- bitrary conduct.” A gentle hearer would draw the conclusion that the committee didn't behave well last term, and they wouldn't come far amiss. We will not attempt to say how much romance has been connected with the week; we will not pry into nor gossip about friendships tried and true which this week may have brought. We leave all such to the little man with the bow and the arrows. We venture that he has done much shooting. ‘And oh, the anguish of the week to come! That which has been is no more, and we must trust Uncle Sam and the rural free delivery to do what we haven’t had time nor opportunity to do this week. Well, its over, and we are sorry that it is, but in the records which shall shortly appear in those little notes of [thanks we shall find solace for our-lone- liness and balm for our grief. NOW that Junior Prom. is over the col- lege must turn its attention to athletics. Every man who has ever seen a basket- ball must get out and try for the team. The track men mustbegin work indoors; dates have been arranged for dual meets, and as these are to come early, we must be prepared to do our old trick of win- ning. The baseball men ought to begin active work Monday. It is practically assured that more money will be given for a coach, and as no man has a cinched position on the team all who can play at all are expected and ought to try aIId make it. Hamilton must have good ath- letics from now on. Our opportunities are good and we possess abundant ma- terial. Why not win every scheduled game in baseball? Why not win every track meet? It can be done ifievery man will do his best. Let every one show his college spirit, wake up from his dreams and fight old Hamilton’s battles to the finish. LIFE hails with pleasure the increased interest shown by the members of the faculty in attending the fraternity recep- tions. It is to us an evidence of that in- creased fellow feeling which we believe now exists between faculty and student. We do not mean to say that we are any- where near the ideal in that respect, but we do say that such a feeling is growing rapidly here in Hamilton. Let the good work go on. Dr. Stryker, Dr. Root, Dr. Shepard, Profs. Robinson and VVhite have set the pace by attending and showing their interest. Where are the rest? THE letter which appears in this issue urging a press association shows clearly what could be done by organized effort. The representatives of every newspaper in college ought to hold a meeting and discuss the matter of an association. There is no time like right away to do things. Within the next week we expect to see such an organization formed. and to it we will give all assistance in our power. In junior Week. Why this sad and tired expression? Why this demoniac frown? Harsh the answer grates upon you: “Darn the luck! She turned me down!” ——The universities of France have no papers, no glee clubs, no fraternities, no athletics and no commencement exer- cises. The Indoor Exhibition. The arrangements for our much her- alded indoor exhibition are unfolding in the most luxurious, extended and ap- pealing manner. All the individual events are prospered and approved perfection. This state of affairs, of course, insures the collective and general merit of the whole. Every- thing is on the move. Progress toward excellence in every feat and feature is the persevering report. Indeed, the- training has so far materialized that we this weekcan announce somewhat speci- fically as to the program. More than 50 men will participate, in drills, exercises, pantomime gymnastics, athletics and acrobatics. There will be several un- precedented events in store, such as the terrible scene which “Rat” VVhite and. Schermerhorn will create in their pugi— listic prance. In addition to this princi- pal (?) there will be several incidental boxing matches. Bristol and Edgerton are in the pink of fine condition and are continuously improving. The punching bag will be banged and boomeranged up until it's punched to pulverized pelt. These and other events novel to the schemes of former years are in store aside from the regular but not less interesting attractive features. It is surprising to count the men who, irrespective of size, longitudinal or avo1r- dupois, can hoist the Ioo-pound dumb- bell to arm’s length. Verily, we have a squad of Sandows. The committee has decided to award in the more strictly athletic events first and second prizes in the nature of rib- bons,similar to those awarded at the col- legiate field meets, to be preserved more from extrinsic than intrinsic value, how- ever. More as souvenirs, don’t you know? There’ll be no kick coming. Just wait, and bustle while you wait. Thus comes luck and a look. ~—There is nothing of more importance to a university than the character and conduct of its students. But among two thousand or more young men the chances are that some will be unworthy or worthless. Not only the good name of a university, but its tone and morale, imperatively demand that these shall be eliminated. No university can tolerate with impunity a single vicious, or drunk- en or lecherous student.—From Annual Report of President Schurman, Cornell. , . a ‘T ,\ _:_:.f . HAMILTON LIFE. ,5 ‘la . The Ancient Seminary Maid. MARY'S LITTLE LAMB. ( Boston 71ersz'o7z.) . Tradition testifies, and history verifies the ‘testimony, that one Mary was at one time possessed of ayouthful member of the genus sheep, Whose excellence of blood and neatness of manner rendered his, or her, ex— terior fringe as beautifully trans- lucent as the driven beauti- ful snow; And it is stated in the most authentic manner (pp. 2 and 3, vol. I, “Nursery Rhymes," q. v.) that nowhere did the charming little la dy (probably a Boston girl) perambulate, But the aforementioned quadrupedal vertebrate did with alacrity approx- imate thither. —Ex.

We thank him for his spirit and his help. ——McLaughlin, '01, of Columbia Law School, was on the bill for the week, both to coach the basket-ball team for the coming games and to attend the prom. From Carthage. “The concert ‘given by the Hamilton College Glee, Mandolin and Banjo Clubs at the Methodist Church last evening, was largely attended and was a treat. At the close of the entertainment, a large company, including the members of the clubs, repaired to the parlors of the Y. M. C. A., Where an informal re- ception was held. Following this, a banquet was served by a committee consisting of Mrs. W. B. Kesler, Mrs. Ray Stoddard, Mrs. C. F. McCoy and Mrs. Thomas Williams. After feasting upon the many delicacies, toasts were in order. I’. R. Wrape acted as toast- master. The following toasts were re- sponded to: “Reminiscences of College Life," by Rev C. M. Dodge; “The Music of Hamilton,” by John W. Van Allen; “Wellesley College,” by Mrs. W. B. Van Allen; “Smith College vs. Ham- ilton College,” by Miss Ruth Strickland; “Our Village," by A. F. Mills; “Our Y. M. C. A.," by Rev. F. O. Belden; “Ham- ilton College,” by President Stryker, of Hamilton College. The toasts were full of wit and humor, and were heartily applauded. The address of President Stryker ably set forth the life and spirit of Hamilton College, the moral at- mosphere, and pleasant location of the institution. Dr. Stryker seemed well impressed with Carthagenian hospitality and expressed a desire to make another visit.” Rochester, I5; Hamilton, L2. The game with Rochester Saturday evening was one of the closest of the season. Twenty-minute halves were played. The score at the close of the first half stood 6-6. At the end of the seconclitwas 12-12. It was agreed to play off the tie and Rochester won. The line-iip: Hamilton I2. Rochester 15. Right Guard. Mangan. Love. Left Guard. . Busch. Jameson Center.

Last night, after burning the midnight oil and being carried back through the medium of Livy’s history to the far dis- tant past, after wandering in the mazes of thought through the streets of Rome and Carthage, and seeing in my mind‘s eye the spectacle of two great civiliza- tions girding themselves for one of the most crucial contests in the history of the human race, I retired to rest with the spirit of the past unconsciously spread about me. >i< >l< * * >l< The battle rages hotter and still more hot. Overhead in the fair blue Italian sky float light flecks of cloud. The sun: shines down with dazzling glory. Nature- seems striving, but in vain, to calm by’ her own tranquillity and beauty the surg- ing passions of men. I stood on an elevation overlooking the field on which Hannibal was contending’ with Rome for the mastery of the world. And as I looked behind the Romans there seemed to rise up hosts of unpar- alleled strength and beauty, the armies of future ages on whose side was to be arrayed the unconquerable power of God’s providence, all working for one great end and all, unknown to them- selves, together striving for the final glory of the human race! And behind the Carthagenians rose the ranks of those who would struggle in times to come against the progress of mankind. Then the Romans and their allies seemed to be gaining a great victory. But as I gazed, awe-struck and filled with wonder, an unpleasant clangiiig smote upon my ears. It was the bell. summoning me from the land of dreams to duties real and immediate. R. W. F., ‘o5.

The Weekly» Publzmzfion of Hamilton College. CLINTON, N. Y., SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 1902. No. I8 Yale vs. Hamilton. Dance week concluded, it augured well for the persuasive powers of Ham- ilton men that they were able to keep so many of the fair ones over for the Yale game on Saturday night. The flurry of snow and the increasing volume of the wind aroused fears of belated trains and stalled trolleys. And the fears were not in vain. Hour after hour was spent waiting for the afternoon “tram" but it did not appear. Finally a group of about 250 gathered in the O. & W. sta- tion waiting for that train reported “on time”. But the time table for the even- ing had been changed and the new time was 7:30 p. m. A few men assum- ing choral ability crowded together in a mass and sent forth loud wails of discord. At last the train came and was boarded. Utica was reached safely and all repaired to the Armory to watch the the combat between the best big college and the best small one. A preliminary game was on. Utica Free Academy bat- tled with the 44th Separate Company. C. T. Ives was the umpire, and it is un- necessary to add that the game was ex- tremely rough, and unsportsmanlike. Yale appeared on the floor between the halves of the preliminary and was greet- ed with a yell from Hamilton. U. F. A. -defeated their larger neighbors 26—1o; and the “big" game was on at 9:50 with McLaughlin, ’or, Hamilton, as referee. The teams were evenly matched in weight but Eli's sons were taller and «could reach farther. The game was fast ‘throughout and was devoid of rough playing. Four fouls were made by each side, but they were entirely uninten- tional. Weymouth, the Yale center was easily the star of the game; he was heavy and quick but little Sherrill's tricks kept him guessing. They were the most interesting pair on the floor. Yale won the toss and within a short time W. Hyatthad landed the ball in the basket. Hamilton got possession of the ball and after a series of passes by Sherman, Peet and Tommy, Hamilton tossed a basket about three minutes after play began. After the ball had surged across the room, back again and to Yale’s territory, W. Hyatt added an- other basket. Hamilton fouls and Yale fails on try for goal; Tommy dribbled the ball to Yale’s territory where Colton recovery it. W. Hyatt makes another goal. Colton soon added three more points for Yale. A double foul followed and Colton and Tommy were both suc- cessful in throwing goals. Hyatt throws another goal and Weymouth followed. Sherman fouls and Colton fails to score. Another foul by Hamilton and another failure for Colton. The half ended with the score of 19 to 4—Ya1e. The second half opened faster than the first. Hall was in Colton’s place at right forward. For the first three min- utes no goals were thrown but Davy made a pretty dribble. Peet and Sher- man had good chances for the basket but fail. Yale fouls. McLaughlin makes the goal. R. Hyatt throws a basket on a pass from Weymouth. Yale fouls and Hamilton fails of goal. W. Hyatt swells the score by three and two minutes are left for play. Yale then gave a fine ex- hibition of basket ball, throwing four goals in rapid succession and the final score is 40 to 5 in Yale’s favor. The line up and summary: Yale. Hamilton. Right Forward.

Tommy cut loose several times and had a good opportunity to make a goal, but wild throws from other members of the team prevented him from doing all that he could have done if more care had been used in passing. Peet was in- variably too low in his throws and this is his greatest fault. Mangan played a steady game but ought to use his head more. He is wild on his passes. How- ever, he played the best we have yet seen of him. Busch was too slow Satur- day night and appeared to have lost dis- cretion. When the ball came his way or he saw his opponent about to receive a pass, he ought to keep the other fellow guessing more. Sherman played a good game considering the proposition he had to meet. Although his man threw the most goals Sherrill did some very clever work in handling the big man, but he was also wild in passing and didn't get after the ball enough when it was rolling about on the floor within a few feet of him. The whole team can be criticized on this point. And now let’s get into the game and rip up the rest of the schedule. We can do it. Why not ? Train. practice and fight for it and the college will help you along. Program for Indoor Meet.

The titled “dress rehearsal" of the events to be presented at the exhibition will occur on Tuesday afternoon, the 18th, the day previous to the princi- pal and proper demonstration. As this is the only opportunity to get orienta- tions and general bearings, it is especial- ly urged that each and every participant be present to fulfill his part. The re- hearsal will begin punctually at 4 P. M. It is desired that, aside from competitors, the officials of conduct be in attendance also, since their presence is as requisite as any. It is besought by “Uncle John" that none save those who assume a part put in an appearance. It is a strictly exclu- sive affair and the college will have ade- quate acumen to appreciate the ratzbnale request. The practice will be more pan- tomime than play. Let every man be prompt and punc- tual, as there will be no waiting on any- body's leisure. At 4 o'clock the per- formance will be commenced! Let no one fail. Track Team Prospects. The winter term is half gone. Spring comes late on the hill; and our track meets come early. Those who wore the‘ spikes last year know of the uncertainty‘ of fair weather in the springtime and of’ the necessity of an early training to corn- pete successfully against southern or‘ western opponents. Thus far our physi-- cal energy has been spent in other lines; of work. Junior prom. is now behind us and our thoughts are turned once more to the realm of athletics. The question» naturally arises, “What kind of a track’ team are we going to have this year?” And the answer immediately followsr: “Our prospects were never brighter." Athletic interests are now uniformly‘ centered in the gymnasium exhibition‘ which will be given in a few days. Im—- mediately following this,systematic work: for the spring will begin. Of course, some work has already been done along; certain lines of athletics, but no earnest training such as is imperative to making’ the track team has commenced. . Those who are intending to try for the team- will be called out earlier this year, owing‘ to the exceedingly short time that will‘. be allowed them to get into shape. In- view of the fact that the spring field meet will be held during the first week of May, hard, systematic work will be’ demanded in a short time. Full negotiations have not yet been concluded, though we are prepared to« announce that the track men will be treated to an unusually large amount of good sport. We shall undoubtedly have no less than four meets, including the spring field day. These will all be given- within thirty days, which means that not more than one week will intervene be- tween any two meets. Though we are not prepared to an- nounce finally, as has been said, in all probability we shall meet Rutgers on the- track in Binghamton soon after our own preliminary trial contests. The Roches- ter track team will, if satisfactory ar- rangements as to date can be made, con-- test for honors on Steuben Field about the middle of ‘May. The management intends to bring the season to a climax by introducing to the home grounds the sturdy sons of Colgate. This meet, with its assured interest and friendly rivalry, will be not only a noble incentive to harder work, but also a fitting consummation for the season. We shall not have the old-time track athletic championship to win or lose,. __ ____._h.... .. “D—~—~—- HAMILTON LIFE. -but the glory and honor which will be- long to the college in each and the last meet, will fully repay with interest every -man who helps to win. If we are to win this year and make the name of Hamil- ton feared upon the track, we must be willing to train long and faithfully; and '.tI]eI1'tO go in determined to breast the tape first; the weight men must “keep .at it”; the jumpers and vaulters need continued and patient practice, and the runners must “hang on” and run until their legs begin to wabble; keep going until they are ready to drop, then shut ‘their eyes and sprint. When the call comes for candidates every man who thinks he can do any work in track athletics should respond. There are a number of men in the class of 1905, who are showing up well and who will unquestionably win their track "H” in the spring. There will be plenty of opportunities to win the necessary two points to qualify as eligible to wear .the letter. “Uncle John” and the cap- tain wish to impress upon the minds of the men the necessity of an early start and of hard work in order to realize the expectations of the college. So be ready. Enjoy your pipe while possible; then when the time comes join in mak- ing this the most successful track team Hamilton ever had. If all my smiles united were In one continuous smile, I’m sure that I have grinned about A happy half-a-mile. —Ex. —-Several candidates have reported 'forYa1e’s next season’s football team.

Advertising rates given on applica tion to the Business Manager. THE administration has entered into the field of journalism. Henceforth accord- ing to an announcement in the first is- sue, there will be published quarterly from the college a magazine, whose editor, proprietor and business manager is the president of the college. Its avowed purpose is to furnish informa- tion to graduates concerning “the life and work of their alma mater." Prize awards will be published, the Com- mencement Bulletin will be the larger "part of the July issue, and the mail book will constitute an issue every two years. Athletics will be reported, alumni notes will be a feature; in short the Record so far as we are able to judge, is to par- allel the work hitherto done by the Lit- erary ./llom‘/tly. Just why a new maga- zine was started in place of all loaning their efforts toward improving the Lit. the editor does not presume to say. Henceforth there are to be two magazines, one published by the stu- dents and the other by the administra- tion. The result of the slaughter will be watched with interest by the student body. Meanwhile we await the issue of the L2't., whose field has been trampled and whose work is to be duplicated. THE second gymnastic and athletic indoor exhibition will take place in the “gym” next Wednesday evening. The proceeds will be used for athletic inter- ests. This was one of the most pleasing sights seen on the hill last year and the reputation of its worthiness as a pleas- ure ,to onlookers, has been steadily growing ever since. Let’s seize the chance to shake up the old building ‘and give some good old Hamilton yells. So everybody out and yell it up. THROUGH carelessness, thoughtless- ness or some other inexcusable reason, those using the “gym” dressing-room have borrowed, on several occasions, the suits, shoes and other paraphernalia be- longing to the basket-ball team without taking the care nor the trouble to return the same, or if they did their position in the room was so changed as to require a half hour’s search to find them. Who is guilty ? We know the names of some, and for downright petty selfishness for their own pleasure we have never seen their equals. They have earned a repu- tation which no one will care to steal from them. Be considerate of other people and return what you borrow. IT seems rather unfortunate that so many of our important basket-ball games come so near together, but it has been unavoidable. The game with C01- gate will be played this evening. They are coming up with the intention of winning, but let us repeat our experi- ence of last year and win the game, al- though they defeated us on their floor this year. We ought to have a big crowd to yell. On the 20th is the game with Rochester and on the 24th the game with the University of Pennsyl- vania. Both of these games are very important and as their guarantees are necessarily big, good support is de- manded. These will be all the games on the hill this year, so let everyone show a large amount of college spirit and get out for each game, and yell it up so that old Hamilton will win. Baseball Prospects. Now that winter term practice has be- gun in the gymnasium LIFE offers to the college a brief sketch of the prospects for the season in baseball, so far as can be prophesied at the present time. The two greatest losses from last year’s graduating class are Captain Keogh, center field, and “Jess” Millham, 3d base. These places must be filled with new men and they are open to every man in college. Of the remaining men Captain Hunter is one of the strongest on the team. He can play behind the bat or take care of first base in good shape. He is sure, steady and strong and keeps his head well. He will be a reliable man in whatever position he chooses to go. Peet played 2d base last year and is also a good catcher. He is a good man to steady the team and keeps matters well "talked up". He will take care of his place all right. "Tommy" was at: short and did well considering the fact. that he was in a new position. With: conscientious, regular and careful work he can make himself into afirst rate‘ player. He needs to practice batting.. Durkee is the only pitcher left of the- old team. He did well last year as a. substitute, but he needs special lessons- from some reliable pitcher. He is swift enough but needs more tricks. Morris played some last year, but as- yet he has been unable to bat well. This is his weak point and he needs to» work hard to fill his position to full credit. Judd is a good man for 1st base. He has a good eye, bats well and keeps his head. With consistent training he can take care of the initial bag. The baseball men outside of the freshman class now in college and who» have been, or ought to be, on the field are: Church, Naylor, Burgess, Foreman, Arthur, Courtenay, Croft, Grant, Bas- tian, Bullard, A. S. Davis, Dowling,. Knox, Soper, M. White, Carr, and. Strickland, besides a score of others who can help fight old Hamilton’s battles- Every member of the freshman class who has ever handled a ball at all is ex-» pected to commence now and try and. make the team. There’s a good chance to make it this year and if everyone- will do his level best and each will offer to the captain and coach his entire" ability, then Hamilton will put out a. better team than last season's. It be- hooves everybody to help the team. If you can’t play, encourage the others.. Get out and show your interest. Give the team something to work for-your approbation-—and you will be doing as great service. The team is fighting for you, not for personal glory. So all to- gether and as abody let’s throw our-— selves into baseball, track, and basket- ball and stir up this old hillside as it. never was before. Clinton Scollard, A. M. The new novel promised by Mr. Scol- lard of the class of ’8x has appeared. It is entitled “The Cloistering of Ursula." The scene is laid in mediaeval Italy: It is handsomely printed on antique laid paper, bound in red. The book is dedi- cated to Prof. W. P. Shepard of the col-- lege—a very intimate friend. The vol- ume has been well received and prom- ises to exceed in its sale former books- by the same author. We congratulate Mr. Scollard and Prof. Shepard. <Q'~".‘.~ , . '3‘-:.-, HAMILTON LIFE. 5 “Come Back." Man is in truth but the oscillating “pendulum betwixt a smile and tear". We have all swung from the festive pole through the waning space until our des- tination, which is the polar opposite, seems our destiny and doom. The pen- dulum seems staid. But we have ex- perimented with this experience in sea- sons prior and realize the validity of re- action, gravitation, and the level-seeking laws of liquid senses. Yet time is a slow and tedious medicator. His cures tarry in their insidious career. The darkness of a disillusioning dawn has palled upon us. What was but a short space ago is not. The flight of time and trams has altered transportation even. Studies which lapsed once now have us in their lair and we are stricken with an effort to subordinate our too repugnant mental powers to the demands imposed upon them. Talk of “darkling plains swept with confused alarms”! They are plainly outdone in manner productive of our consternation. But “all’s well that ends well”. The dances are now of “such stuff as dreams are made on" and we pirouette on meditative tiptoe, swirl to music of the spheres and curvette to a harmony which is but a bodiless crea- tion of a cunning ecstasy. Past us in defiling columns promenade the specters of our visioned dreams. We now live in a two-shelved cosmos. The best we can do is to be impartial and endeavor to shell each with, of course, inadequate projectiles of insufficient range and erratic trajectory. But as we have ob- served, it will all come out in the wash, especially if we watch the process and attempt to regulate it. The tunes of which we modulate our piping whistles will soon grow stale and quite unprofitable. The ‘visions which haunt our ruminations now. will speedily grow vapid and life will assume its wonted monotony of tenor and fall back into the old main rut which is so ruth- less. “Hence vain deluding joys” leave us in peace, even if in pieces, and will mend even though the repair be but a patch. —On last Sunday evening, observing the day of universal prayer or students, 5 ecial services were held in the Clinton hurches under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Allbright, '03, spoke in the Stone Church and Scoville, ‘oz, in the Baptist Church. The Methodist Church united with the Stone Church for the ‘evening.

There was an unusually large attendance, and the address was both instructive and enjoyable. After the address Dr. Terrett was given a ris- ing vote of thanks, and light refresh- ments were served.— Utiaz Press. A Dethroned Monarch. “Pop" Clark mourns the loss of a dis- tinction which he has held ever since en- tering this old college. He passed suc- cessfully through freshman, sophomore and junior years, happy in the thought that he of all others in his class was of a dual nature-two halves; and now in the second term senior comes the announce- ment that his seat has been taken from under him, his horse has thrown him to the ground, his sword broken, and his crown dashed in pieces; while rocking the cradle of his young hopeful he grates his teeth and curses the luck which de- throned him. No more can his class- mates point to the one man as authority on “petticoat perfidy.” Another has sought and obtained what “Pop” has so long cherished, and the anguish of it har- rows up his usually placid soul. But never mind, “Pop,” you still have the chin heard, the air of domestic tranquili- ty and the age of wisdom. Farewell, Oh dethroned monarch, and hail Oh prince who hereafter shall reign with you! “Pop" and Weaver; husbands of years and a day. Good-bye to the old and all bail to the new. ‘ Thejunior Prom. Committee. Last year the committee appointed to look after the arrangements for a class dance, announced that if the participants in the Prom. festivities would stand an extra assessment of 50 cents on each ticket they could give better satisfaction, and the proceeds, beyond the expenses, would be given to athletics. This year a committee, notorious for its novelties, charged the same amount; the college supposed of course, that they would follow precedent and public spirit and do their duty likewise in returning the funds borrowed from each man who at- tended the Prom. Either this commit- tee is exceedingly slow or intends to quietly pocket the money so intrusted to them. Feeling on the subject is running high just at present, and it is safe to say that the college knows the men and is waiting to see whether they possess pub- lic spirit or personal greed. Certainly they should have made a mint of money, with such programs and with no other extras! The age of miracles has not yet passed.
