STEVENS COMMENT.

~L"'_."'_""_ .1, .t, ." "'.

~. '. mrTJ LL the good work goes on-change after change, and every change an im­, provement. ; This year has seen the great and needed mO\'e of the ]-J igh School to a

_"' ...... ~ .. ... .... ' building of its own, thus vacating the East wing of the Institute, which now provide suitalJ le and roomy quarters for the Electrical and ,\lathematical Laboratories The High School also supplies the students with a Gymnas ium, and anyone who wiil go in there on a winter's afternoon \I'ill be thoroughly conl'inced of their appreciation of it, on seeing the number of scantily clothed, I\'ould-be athletes disporting themseivps. The col lege itself has been divided from cellar to roof by three fire-proof partitions of brick capped with brown-stone, so that in case of a lire it can be confined to one portion of the building.

The I .ibrary.-This much abused <lnd iuisnamed room has at last begun to liVt, up to its book-cases, and instead of a crowd of noisy classmen sitt in g singing on the tables, one finds a quiet, well-ordered place in which to s it ~ind make use of his spa re moments. Of course this change entails some inconvenience upon those lI'ishii~g to enter from Hudson Street, who either have to climb a pair of stairs or take the outside route, 7·ia the Campus or Rialto.

With the LilJrary came the altcrations in the front hall, the letter boxes, and many minor details, all tending to a l1\ore convenient and completc arrangemcnt.

Now that these largcr and more important improl'cments have b:::en completed, let us hope that that" argus-eyed, monster-brain" of the Faculty will be focllssed upon some of the details of the course, and. first a nd foremost, we would like to speak of the Lecture notes· These in the Junior year are particu larly burdensome, no Jess than six being required. ()f these, Professors Mayer's and \\' ebb's cannot be gotten out of books, and are well worth the time. But the others are different. One hour is spent taking down notes, genera ll y so fast

10 '1' 1 I 1-': l~CCENTI~IC.

that the ideds have no time to stick, another hour to copy them, and after all what ha\'e we? ,\ careful examination of a large number of lectures shows the maximum amount to equal two pages in Bioxalll, and these not remembered at a ll by the run of the students. But grant ing they learn them, we still have two hours of hard work for two pages of printed matter; a rather extra\'agant e.\penditurc of time in such a crowded course as ours. Why cannot Professor Seller's plan be adopted, i. t., having the notes made out and distributed to the class. That is a course worthy of the Nineteenth Century, and let us hope it will be adopted ill other departments.

~h()p \\·crk .--The arranging of the Senior inspection trips for the Second term, instead of running them into the Third term, and the new departure in the matter of lectures, both have such obvious advantages as to recommend their permanent adoption.

Examinations are now held ill this department as follows: During, or just before exami­natIon week, a long list of questi')ns is posted and the students required to show written notes on these, and to ('xj/alll these notes. In tlte case of the Juniors, the questions required refercnce to books which are not llsed until Sen:or year. Is not this a good deal like "hitting a man when he's dOll'n ?" We think Professor j)enton is too bilS to need such an advantage in dealing with the men.

l\ propOS of Examinations, a nell' plan is being pursued, t he men ha\' ing term marks of <)0 or over being excused. This, of course, is a great relief to the professors, who hal'e fewer papers to examine, and the students are unanimous in their \I' tllingness to afford them thi'i relief.

Engineering. - lll thi~ department the Llsllal amount of resi,tance to be overcome by the Junic)l'S has been lessened by "Topics," ranging from (;~liileo, 156-+, to "some lime since," thus adding largely to the general knO\\'ledge of the Illen on engineering and kindred ~lIlJjects.

l\lechanics.-Professor Webb's new methud, in which the class asks questions and he recites, has been found admirable in dealing with sueh all author as Rankine. The difficulties thus being gotten at more rapidl)" and better explained than by ord in ary c lass-['(um reci­tations,

'\ ~ II~TY bears in this planet of ours, V A charm which is wide as itself in its range:

Our sensations are ever dependent on change; We appreciate light throu,g-h the night it dispUll"ers­And how sweet seems the landsc;lpe with a small vale, As we end our descent from a desolate trail, Over mountainous passes as rugged as grand.

We assembled the August preceding, to gain A slight foretaste of what was to prO\'e such a strain On our tiller, to sheer orr condition's quicksand, After m()nths of hard laiJor, the last was annexed That we might form an estimate true of the worth Of the pineshacles, or laziness cool by the firth, Or of hea\'en, the havel, of rest for the vexed . Still at last came the days wilen we tossed aside care With a feeling that what we h;ld finished we'd done, And we held an equivalent of knowledge won; And with disburdened minds, 1ll;](.Ie as rapid repair 1\5 we could, to the spots which had missed us so long. The respite we experienced seemed indeed earned, l\ nd we felt at the time if there neyer returned ,\ more stern occupation than thi s pleasant song We would never repine. But it still had its birth \Vhen the Scytheman had leveled these blossoming hours, i\nd had laid them as 10\\' as their co-living Aowers-,\s the souls which seemed fltted to dwell upon earth,

J3

'1' 1-11<: ECCE;--':T l~lC .

So these days fre e fWIll trouble and care pa~sed away. We did not withol1t pleasure return to the scene 'Ve had quit, and the friends and the work and routine, On the lil'es of us all which must hold such a str . And its ch:lracter 11011' had received d nell' side .\n acceptable also, as co ntrast to what We h,lcl suffered before in attempting' to blltt .\gainst fate-where we stooped and were conquered beside. 1\ 11 was bright save the shade, as on Pompey's, \\' hich was caused hy the ghost of wh~~ t was to appear That lI'e'd gleaned, to our grief, from the Seniors last year. And since (;raphical Statical notes have arril'ed They have proved pretty ml1ch of a lIniform load, Though the maximum stn:ss ne\'er solved "ery great; But with \\'eezbach or Rankine to serve as a mate 'TII'as a case of one truss with a multiple load.

There is nothing in Rankine's conciseness that's crude: We admired Steam Engines neve r before, After viewing some lines of poetical lore \Yhich he had produced in an inspired mood . . \h! that Ire might ascend on a bold fancy's wil gs To a height as sublime as we contemplate here. That (lur labor was useless we ne'ie r would fear If one iJlstant so passed wcre the fruit that it hrin)~!:. Even he'd he unable to I'ie with Bonnett, \\'ho \\'it h ease soh'ed a prohlem that's pl1zzled the world Since the poets the horrors of Hades unfurled, With a splendid conciseness unequalled as yet.

'Twas a beautiful proof how, without a compeer, Theory stands e'en when practical tests may he found, \\'hen Echie annou!l(;ed, if he fell to the ground From a drawing-room sill, 'twoulcl distil all his beer. (There's good old Cllstom \\'hich I IllUst abide, This account should always embody a bO:lst Then, in water or wine, here's a brill1J11cr to toast The class of the Futllre-·The 0Jation's Pride ')

We have altered the ,chedule fur good in ~()nIC pclrt, And continucd this year as a parallel boon, By appointing commencement offiei;ds as soon As condit ion permitteu to settle their cartes.

Our work has seemed more to thc purpose this year, And our interest in it has also increased; \Ve va luc it better as soon as released, And the time we can give it is limited here.

\\" e believed that this year the precedent held That we should be dealt with more leniantly, .\fter being e.\jlosecl to [ull rigurs for three . . \ t the first, as II'e started, the passing-be ll knelled, .\s one after another has dropped from onr ranks, l\1any times.

Four ye,lrs ha\'e passed by s ince the moment we stepped Frol1l the level below, to the path we ha\'e kept Ever since. Th en, the summ it which now is so near, The path up whose peak seems so sho rt , looking- clown, Was surrounded by shadows which hid from our eyes The vantage we since have obtained. ,\nd the rise Has shown LIS the wnrld is not sized like a town. The profession within whose broad ranks WE- enrol On the day we commence to t:lke part ill the world, Is the noblest and widest which e'er was unfurled For choice of a life-work, where cannot be missed The sLlceess, and the pleasure and glory attached.

All the greatest creations of man for man 's good, Works which have throughout ages as 1l1OnUl1leilts stOf)d Engineers ha\'e produced, who ha\'e ne'er iJeen outmatched . . \11 that has iJee n accomplished, sure we can repeat; ,\ nd for what still lies hid<1 en in destiny's book, .\nd upon which this generation shall look ,\s our deed~, which the past and its triumphs defeat, May not we, as a part, win a part of tre fame?

No events of a chronological kind Besides these 1 have noted, I bring to Ill)' mind. 1\S others, this year has slipped by much the same, !\nci no sunbeam has shone upon which we ha\'c soared. So the second term passed as the first went before 1\ nd we foune! just before us the unopened door, On crossing who!"e threshold oblation was poured, .\s, effectively, we \I"ere alumni then, And the draperies shook to their place'S again. There is nothing unfinished for whicll we remdin, But the work on our theses; and, \I"ell under \\':1)',

We expect \I"ithout fail, by commencement day, 1 n Professor Wood's book-case they'll snugly be lain , 'Where they']] rest firmly anchored till (;abriel's blow.

In a few \\'eeks more, which shall tl.lO quickly pass, 'When we shall be scattered where harvests abou nd, ,\nd fields which are broader than these will be fOil 1;<1, Eighty-nine will ha\'e ceased to e:-.ist as a class, A nd she will appe'tr as a dream of the past.

.\nd we feel thL: enchantment of youth's sunny sl1ring, \\' hL:n hope, at its strongest. speaks only to sing \nd borroll's the colors which l\'ature can lend.

We each h()ld a lifetime in prospect :thead,

_\nd the mountains which first may before us ari~L, We shall cause to be stepping-stonL:s up toward the skies: So that at the end it Illay truly be said, That we ha\'e not existeu and labored in rain. We shall all together go forth. There will come To us all a moment of trial; and some

The I'I1de world in its coldness will buffet, nor deign , To assist into comfort the poor ca!:>taway, As an eaglet, at last, from the eyrie of thought We shall I()ok upon monarchs beneath us, and naught

i\nd th e quiet and peacefulness pro\'e as a crest For our ll\-es-for the lI'eary aillong us a balm.

And when the high seal of our character Is set, we shall not all be similar.

TH l iS "ang the poet-an obscure and yet withal a worthy pot'l-and thus did '90 cremate Calculus,

Now we didn't intend to personally superintend the eternal c(Jlllbl1~tion of Calculus, but, from the little knowledge we had

picked up <.bout him in our Sophomore Year, we concluded that if we got him once well started, he would go on burning through all the coming ages and with all the accessories of

fire <llld brimstone, Thus it wa~, th;)t one night we elllbroidered our night gOll'n~ with integral~ and differentials and put on high hats similarly decorated and assembled in the room where, but a ft.w hours before , we had [wen examined in Illathematics, Th ere we began the ceremonics so fatal to ('alcllills,

The class first sang a dirge, II'ritten in that lH'culiar \'erse which its inventor, the class poet, calls the" calcllloo::ian," Then the Chaplain prayed- prayed to the god of Calculus (,\h I poor Dominic, would he wcre the ('Ilaplain !low), ,\fter rhe Chaplain came the lligh

Priest (appointed for the occasion ollly), \\'ho poured forth argulllcnt upon argument and charge upon chargc against Calculus, till that poor devil, who was present hy pro"y, nearly went into hystcri cs, Hc reco\'ered, heJ \\'c\'er, sufficiently to nood the class \1 ith "gags," in the fond hope ()f csc~lping the just punishlllcnt of his crimes. It was in \',lin, for after th ~ Dirge, the Dominic and thc High Priest, what \I'ele "gags?" Popular sentilllcnt Il'as dead against him, and the Judge's decree, that he ~hould he "iJurned with (ir(; to " constant weight," was rcceived \\'ith general a!'.sent. Oil hearing the scntel1ce, Calculus said sOll1cthin,t;' about the ,;e\'(~nth differential of Loud's bull-terrier, apd allowcd himself to be tied to a shUlltr that the Institutc hat! kindly supplied fur th e purpose, The class thcn marched I)ut and formed

a hollow square in Ilud"')11 Stre~t. Calculus W;lS put in the middle, and, \yith a drum and fife corps in fron~ and a misc;e ll,lI~eo us crowd behind, t he funeral march began, After marching around HoiJoke n 'till the colored torches g-a\'e OUl, we returned to the campus, '(here three tar lJarrel~ and se\'eral plank-walks were lighted, and Calculus, I'l:alizing the truth of the theory of" heat as a mode of motion, " set out on his journey to a h(;ller (?) land,

'90 sang ancl danced around the funeral pyre till

" Eal'h separate dying emiler \\ToughL its ghost upon the /loor,"

then with a last farewell cheer over the ashes of C;t1culus the \'aiiant class retired-and I ha\'e n't heen able to learn where they retired to,

'90 is the filst class at :-ite\'ens, and wc feel safe in saying the 'I//~I' S,,/>//(////;)/'<' class. that ever cremated Calculus, and we hope that the good old collegl' custom thus successfully introduced may be kept up till the next clas" of '~o celebrates the looth aniversary of that introductIon,

For tllf' next tlYO months the class did nothing collecti\'ely, but a great deal illdi\'idually, and of what '90 does incli\'idu,dly I know nothing. But the poet says, ,lnt! it may also apply to more rational lJei ngs :

We all, i.c., !:iome of us, got back to the shop promptly on the 22d of August. Strange to say" Prelim." didn't begin till a day or two after. For a whil~ we all tried the eight hour system . Then, after making a number of \'ery careful experiments, we finally adopted another system which I shall not mention, iJut which proved to be entirely satisfactory.

,\ltempls were made to organize a double quartette and to reorganize the orchestra, but although Calculus was illdeed a cinder, some of the class secmed to be haunted by vague memories-memories so essC'ntially unmusical that the cinder got there and the music didn't .

. \5 the 19th of September approached we began to see fairy figUles Oittillg through thc spaciolls halls of Ste\'ens. These, lI'e were told, were would-be freshmen, and, sure enough, when the Sophs. and Seniors got back they found a little crowd of great expectations waiting for them.

The first term opened in a characteristic manner with a cheer from \)0, and -- anolber cheer from '90. "Ah! there," '91.

We soon found that several little attractions had been added to the course for our especial benelit. One of these manifested itself in an order from that magnate of experimental mechanics, Prof. Denton, to turn up at 8 o'clock in the morning and take indicator cards. This we did willingly enough, for we had been told confidentially by the Seniors that it wouldn't last long, and that experimental mechanics wouldn't trouble us much anyhow. Ah! would that '89 knew what it was talking about. The 8 o'clock clays, it is true, soon passed away, but where were the days when work would leg-in at I J o'clock? We rushed through with the indicator only to find ourselves on a slide valve (as it were.) Valve setting, valve designing, valves, valves, valves, till Christmas. After Christmas more \'alves; after more valves, strength of materials (with subdivisions too numerous to mention); after strength of

materials-(to ilc continued in our ne.\t), The rcason of (his was that Prof. ilcnton has, for ., some years ~ince," had plans for cxtending and improving (?) his department, and has been waiting for an e.\tra good class to begin with, Unfortunately'90 was the class he wanted, The tours of inspection, however, which " 'C ha\'e nwde with him through all the large machine shops, steel works, State capitols, etc" in the United States, will undoubtedly prm'c of great \'alue in the years to come, and have, more()\'er, given us a ready means of spending our superfluous spondlllix, This Idst was a lllatl<:r of absolulc necl'ssity, for "hop-\\'ork, proper, has becn discontinued, and that great channcl cl()~;ed up, Thus, for inst,lIIce, during the first tcrm my partner and I only \\'orked two IH)urc; in thc shop, In \':hi ch timc we iJored two holes, and conscquently were Oldy all()wed to pay 111'. Ila\\kridge ~I,25 apiece, III the second term we didn't \\'ork ill the shop at all, and our bill for sh()p matcrials amounted to only 33 cents,

,\ nother of the attractions-all this sarcasm is indecd cxtremely withering, but please remember where I was educated-another attraction was graphical statics, This great science was introduced into the Junior yea r, and finding us such skillful draughtsmen, Prof. Webb added Rankine's ,\pplied :'Ilechanics, Sec the connection?

The engineering department ,,\'as also seized with the "extension" mania, and spread itself over several other departments, For one thing, Prof. Wall having neglected to continue the course of ~~elles-l ,etters into the Junior year, an essay was c, dropped" in among the other c, topics," Strallgely e1lough, a large number of errors in grammar were found in these e!'says, with here and there" a " tautology,

Dutch (pardon us Professor, but that's what we call it)--that lan,l!;uage wherein has passed successively before us the joyous pl'attle of the child, thc beauteous ane! elltrancing lyric, thc a Il-absorbi ng- hard Iy-evcr-tu-be-stopped -II' hCll-OIl ce-ilegull melod ra ma, and the short concise and so called scientific discourse, has, since the end of the second term, de\'e loped a new attraction for us-\\'e are done with it.

Turning now to the athletic side of '90's history please glancc at the list of officers of the ,\thletic Association, and of those of the college teams, and you \\'ill get S(1I11/' idea of the class [ am talking about. '90 IS IIII' sturf in athletics, (h'er half the positions on the foot-ball team were fil1ed by '90 mell, and in the game with Yale, nine out of the Stevens cleven \\'ere members of that noble class, Base-ball and lacrosse are just beginning, but both the captains are '90 men, and \\'e shall ha\'e a good representation on the teams,

The infant Glee Club, which '90 started on the road to fame last year, has grown to be the biggest thing of its kind that Stei'ellS Ci'er hacl. The concert ill i'ebl'ual,)' was a great success, ancl the trip at Easter will do a great deal to\\'anl spreading the name of ollr J\lma Mater, anc! showing that it is more than a mere machine ~hop,

one fine Tuesday morn, when the moon, no doubt, lVas dancinl!; its rays on some dusky couple of the antipodes, W110 stood waiting with shining faces and No. 10 boots

the-Pardon me, dear reader; I hal'e neglected to inform you of the fact that this college of ours, this Stevens Institute of Tecllnology, has lately introdun:d into its limit a small body

o[ children, which we lI'ill call fresh boys (small f). \\\:11, ;lS I lIas about to say, this small

Th e aboye is the only definite knOll ledge that I could oiltain of the reported rush of

Tue~tlay morning, September 25, 'XX. One thought suggests another, hOIl'l'ITr, and Ill)'

memory does not fail me when 1 ;;tate that a sort of scrap did occur on the TUl'sday following, at thc athletic grounds; hilt the resul[ of that scrap modesty forbids me to announce. 1 think, howel'er, that eight minutes settled the bill and paid the doctor.

You \I'ill pardon me ag-ain, dear reader, for hal'ing- referred at all to the fresh boys (will the printer please make that f small) in my little narratiye; but it is m)' first offence, and I

hereby promise to cirop entirely all knO\\'ledg-e of, and refll'cnce to their e\istcncc; to takc up once more the thread of my discollrse. ~lnd lI'eal'c to your pl~asure as clean and neat a fabric­

[,;.tst year, when the .\ nl1ual went to press, a mo·t exciting and nOl'el eve11l had happened in which '9 1 was greatly interested, and full accounts of which were made public to the admir­ing populace: the theft of '9o's class dinner. Out of regard for her tender feelings, and UpOIl the principle that" e llough is enough," I refrain froill here rehearsing that happy el'cnt; iJut its results upon the life and prosperity of the college cannot be over-estimated. It revo­lutionized the Institute.

The remainder of the terlll, hO\\'el'er, passed (juietly enough until '90, Illuch vexed over the fact that she could not, even with the help of " I'anoramas," master King Calculus, deter­mined with malice of forethought and actually did bum and bury him, and now-they may need him soon. On the night of that awful crime, while their gossamer forms were flitting alHlul the thoroughfares, a strapping, eiJonized indil'idual appeared among them decked in a complete uniform of red and blue ('yo's class colors). He was backed by a small handful of our noble warriors, IJut, alas! en:n I)ribes could \lot persuade him to keep his clothes on, for he fled, probably hi/lit the idea that the white [orms werr~ spooks, but undoubtedly 711/'tlllilll the un i forlll.

The first event o[ ., I'relim." was the fishing party to the Fishing Banks, e:llbarked on the

steam launch "l\larion," of Ne\\' Jersey. That was the way it \Vas announced and was the poetryor the tale. The prose is slightly different, as the launch did not arrivl', and sour faces hung that day over the rails of a steam tug as she puffed down the bay alJout noon. A little additional prose -.vas the blue fish, bought by the boys on the way home, to gil'e a blue color to the fish stories and to answer otherll'ise unpleasant questions.

Crowding upon our fishing experience was the reception tendered lIon. J ames Owen

O'Connor at Jacob's Theatre, June 25. Onions, potatoes, cabbages, giant torpedoes, extinct cats, etc., met his astonished gaze and more than that, obstructed it. It changed his gaze to daze, alld his appeals to heels. He enjoyed it; so did we. (G. S. H., $1.00 allt! costs.)

.\nother theatre party originated with us and took place on Octuber 11, '88, wloen Ilo),t's " Bunch o[ Keys" tickled the risibles of the boys. .\ snatch of a topical song, sung by a charming damsd on that occasion, comes noating back to me, and I think 1 hear thl: gentle murmur:

,. "'hen a e1a~s g-els ahead of 'I) l

'l'he \\"orJd is cOlning- to an end,"

while the orchestra takes up the strain. Yet, through it all, 1 hear a more prosaic voice whisper, "l\Iany a true word is spoken in jest."

Twice have we frustrated the attempts or a fell' '90 men to hoist to the breeze nags bearing the figures (small f) '92. We can suppose no other reasons [or their actions than childishness and a latent desire to square that little account of last season.

'l~H E l-<':CCE NT I~ I C.

Our work this year has been of a slightly different nature and a deal more confining, but our boys ha ve made a st eady pull and,

" Scorning- the uncxcmpt oll/dill'''1 By which alll11()rtal frailty must subsist,"

we are left masters of the situation. We have iearned to respect the powers of r-Ir. Calculus, and undoubtedly l'Iill Hot treat him as he was treated last year.

A very fitting and capping e\'ent of this year's history, and one well calculated to round off and polish up so succes~ful a career as ours, was the second annual banquet of '91, which took place at Martinelli's, February 28, the anniversary of" that other dinner." It was a most enjoyable alTair, and was bedecked with glowing and ornate speeches, befitting the society of the class. To bind in brotherly love and unity of spirit the hearts of our classmates, a beau­tiful silver (?????? etc.) cup, bearing the insignia," To the first '91 boy," was formally presented to the class by the class. How fatherly did we gaze upon that cup, and how moistened became our eyes as they turned inwards, while we pictured to ourselves the poss:ble events of the next five years--* * * * *

So our history ends; a weight of responsibility rests on our hands. To balance this, have we not the cheerful outlook of prospccti\'e fatherhood; the hopes that our little sons may tread well the paths of their forefathers and point with honor to their pedigree? The echo comes: " \\'e have." HISTORIAN.

HISTORY OF 92.

'''-;''~'--'''-~; HE history of '92 begins with its organization. Bright in the memory of all its

I~ 1l1emb~ rs is that September day, when, 59 strong, frolll many States', from sev­I~ eral countries, we assembled to elect our officers. We had taken by tbe throat

.=_~~:, and had slai n that many-headed monster, Entrance-Exam i nations . \\' e had crc,ssed the Jordan of many bewild ering questions concerning our ancestors, from .\ dam down. We were willing to enter into far-famed Hoboken, the land Oowing with beer and pretzels; we were determined to make ourseh'es and '92 f~mous in the annals of ~tevens. This was our condition (not to mention a fell' the Professors kindly donated us), when we elected the officers, with the exception of the historian, who was chosen later on. Other meetings followed and matters of importance decided. Class-colors and a rattling yell were adopted, and soon caps of the" blue and gray" were adorning, at an acute angle, the c raniums of '92. Rut, meanwhile, we had been gettll1g introduced to the institute and its ways. One morning, as we came out from recitation, we found the Sophs. lined up in that hall, histonc from many battles. They rushed forward to congratulate us; to render genius its just homage. Not to be outdone in politeness, we hastened to meet them, and were haVIng a delightful time, when Prof. Wood appeared with that . c billiard cue." Unfortunately, he mistook demonstrations of friendship for those of hostility. "(;entlemen, this must be stopped," fell on deaf ears . "And forthwith there was a rustling sound and the sudden splitting of a long crack through the atmosphere." Those bumps, that sev_ eral members, of both classes, felt tenderly for a few days afterwards, were not natural bumpsof combativeness, but acquired ones. \Ve determined to return the compliment. It is our turn to wait in the hall. '91 appears and tries to sneak down the back stairs; a yell of derision shames them to action: they [llsh forward only to be swept back into the roOI11S and clown the stairs Hl1t, it grieved us much , that one of our worthy Professors f'hould ha\'e got caught between the lines, and experienced a sensation similar to that of the man on whom the folding bed is getting in its fine work. To stop rushing in the halls and a liability to short time, back-door graduations, a rush at the" grouncis" was arranged. It was given to '9T ;

hut, when a ll ci rcumstances arc taken into account, when it is remem lwrcd that our men did not understand the IIlllrilfS (lper(/lldi, on account of '91's alllbif~uous phrases; that '9 1 I'iolated all agreements, mali)' of their men going back after being pulled out, it will be seen at once that their so-called v ictory is only the ghost of a victory, a n a iry, intangible nothing', But

whatel'er disgrclce we might hal'e incurred in this was completely wiped out in that foot-ball game, I"hen, equally matched, lI'e 1I")n fairly and dl'cisi l'e ly. On that memorable day we marched down to the ,. grouncls," rousing, with our well-known ,tnd nnging

time, To see a clas~rnate IO(lking through a tclcscope and motioning a rodman, focll~sing the unengaged eye on the pretty maiden l1H'andering slowly by, taking care to posc gracefully,

and keeping a genera l lookout for a Professor, was I'ery edifying, Spanish de\'e lojled several members constru('\cd on a plan that Barnum admires , To hear a cla,;smate talk calmly of

hearing \I'ith his e) es, or murmur nonchalantly of sccing with his ears, was startling enough; but when one studcnt assured us he was going to take off his head and put it in his pocket,

do you wonder if Il'e fled) It is rumored that sel'cral lost all faith in the Spanish language \\'hen they found that an English pronunciation of the 1'()\l'cls in "damos" was not allO\l'able,

and they, ti1erelOre, could not \'ent any surplus energy in purely orthodox Spanish, Probahly this e\plains \\'hy we miss a few [aces now, Like ~Iark TlI'ain's youth, \I'ho had a ~illlilar

experience with the innocent (;erlllan "daIllit," they pined away and died aftcr the sho('k, Logic clearly proved that if a Professor held an opinion he wuuld surely ill' opposed, But

how much han' we retained of this knowledge? Reilcctioll would probably rCI'cal to us

vague idea~ of the onomatopoetic sille of the centre 1)[ gral'ity ; of the poeterito historico of dar; of the parallelogram of sonant forces of a fallacy; o[ the in crtia of the imaginary rOuts

of a I'ocal equ;ltion e liminated by rectilinear direresis; o[ the latus rectunl of the Indo­

Europ~an stock of compound penc/ltlUI1lS floating- aiJout in our brains,

'I':l e c lass has been actil'e and el~terpris ing, <lS the foot-ball game and the supper well

showed, Signs and flags Il'ith '92 on them ha\'e been p~lt up man)' times, Of course they

came down, To keep them up bordcrs on the impossible, But did not a !lag showing '92 in blue against a Il'hite back-ground 11 (),It from the pole uf the j nstitute [or Illany hours, ( '0

to them (this being '91'S state) , reminds one strongly of the old fable of the jackass strut­ting around in the lion's skin until it betrayed itself by ih bray, (" \\-e are the stUlTs,") Hut how strangely quiet '9 1 has been ;tbout "suppre~sing m," The fact is s ignifi cant, and shows

its wholesome respect for liS and its recognition of its inability to cope with '92,

Th ere remains little to be told, To say the cla~s is a great one is not necessary, for that is axiomatic truth, In our Freshman year wc havc fought a good fight, Th e name and the

fame of '92 is precious to all its members, and they will guard it sacredly, " 'hat the next

three years will bring,II'hat the future Irill unveil, who ca n tell? Is it a vain hope that '92 may he to Stevens what '25 was to Bowdoin? The historian does not bplieve so,

II is cattle and other stock were destroyed, his house and barns burnt, the brew-house alone remaining.

An interesting incidcnt of this war of 16-1-3 is gil'e n in a book on "The lludson," by Benson J. Lossing (puhlished in 1866). It is as follows:

"The low promontory helow Castle Point was the site of the large Indian \'illage of Holmck. There the pleasant little city of Hoboken IlOW stands, and few of its quiet deni"ens are aware of the dreadful tragedy performed in that I'icinity more than two hundred years ago. The story may he related in a few II'orels: ,\ fierce feud had existed for S()fnc time iJetween the New Jersey indians and the Dutch on ~Ianhattan. Se\'e ral of the lalter had been murdered by the former, and the Hollanders had resoil-ed on \'eng-eance. .\ t length the fierce i\1ohawks, ilent on procuring tribute from the weaker tribes \\'estl\'ard of the I [uti son, came sweeping down like a gale from the north, dri\' ing great numbers of fug-iti\'es upon the Hack­ensacks at llo\)ock. Now was the oppor~unity for the Dutch. .\ strong hody of thcm \\'ith some :I\{ohawks, c rossed the I (udson at midnight, in February, 16-1-3, fell upon the unsuspect­ing Indians, and before morning murdered almost a hundred men, women and children. l\lany were drivcn from the cliffs of Castle I'oint and perished in the free"ing nood. .\t SUIl­

rise the murderers returned to Nell' Amsterdam with prisOl~ers and the heads of sen'ral Indians."'

'1 he farm at Hoboken nolV remained deserted for sOllle tillle. It \l'as leased in r656 to '\icholas Verlet, and on June J9, 17 I I, the land came, by purchase, into the Bayard family, Ilho used it for a sUlllmer residence. The farlll was \l'orked 1>)' tenants and .greatly imprOl'ed by the liberality of the owners. In 1760 there was on it a gardpn of rfl'e acres filled with English fruit trees, and a large dwelling-house and stal>les Irere erected. The Bayard man­sion was on Castle Poi nt, or "Castile," and was ilu rIled by t he patriots on August 2-1-, I7 80,

and the farm laid waste. The ()Imer at this tillIe Iras \ ' illiam Bayard, and as he was a loyalist, his property was confiscated, and \\'a. sold to Colonel John Stevens.

In d~04 a Illap of the place was laid out, entitlt',' f the NelV City of 1 £oboken," and a four days' sale of eight hundred lots, I 1, was advertised ily ('olonel

Ou r cruise to Ticonderago contained more real hardshi ps than the essence of poetry-it \Vas a \,'hole war campaigll crowded into three days, Beans-beans-canned beans for a

Frank and I lay crouched side by side in the bottom of our tent-cOl-ered boat, Irhich we pulled up uncler shelter of the trees; -we couldn't change positions, so that by morning our bodies were pretty well mouldeci to the ribs of the Rushton , Still, we remained dry and managed to sleep the greater part of the night, while the other three fellows, lying on the ground under an ,\ tent, were kept busy digging a channel through their quarters to clrain off the in-streaming water. The next morn­ing, when \l'e found a number of large trees torn up by their roots-we thought we had escaped quite fortunately, By noon the sun had fairly dried our clothes and blankets, and at sunset we reached the lower encl of the lake where we put up for the night. The most strik­ing part of the remainder of the trip wasa square meal at the hotel-the fir,;t meal we took out­side of camp during the sU111mer-~1l1(1 the proprietor came out with a minus quantity, ,\ fter a whole day's tramp along a dusty road we were a harel-Iooking lot, so we remained in the background while ,\ I made the arrangement,; with the clerk,--a capital joke on him, and he seemed to catch on during the course of the meal, for he I>rdered the waiter te) remo\'e the fruit and ga\'e her orders not to duplicate the dishes more than twice, ,\nd noll' came [he row for home, twenty-Il\'e miles against the wind; ilut we made it at the expense of broken

lady; I'll see my man anu\ find out what can be did," and in another moment be saw the cloor open. An idea struck h il1l, he would not look, but turned away and then pushed up to the bar afte, the landlady, whJ) stopped and spoke to her husband. He stood listening to them fOT' fllumen t ~.,d thell offel'ed his ~-:;rvices as escort.

"What., 'rou .. <. ".J I sl'ould think you knowed better'n to tackle such a job; h01,,, never, a~ you Ii kes."

few minutes later he found himself tucking thi" woman up In furs upon a toooggan. Why did his heart beat so fast? He did not care a stral\' for her now and he clinched his teeth. Yet how that "(~ood-nigbt" that ~he said to their hostess thrilled through him. Now they were off, he ahead, pulling the toboggan after him.

At first, it is hard going; the snol\' about the houses is more or less broken and drifted, but once out on the plain it gets firmer. Leaving the settlement they cross the track and pass near the express, buried nearly to the roof by the drifted snow. The conductor was quite right; they would not get out of there in forty-eight hours.

She, sitting on the toboggan, saw before her only the tall fignre of her conductor. HoI\' easily he seemed to move along with that graceful gliding motion of the snowshoes. Little she guessed the thoughts surging through his mind ..-\11 she heard Il'as the crunch, crunch, crunch of the snow, and the occasional howl of a coyote. Not another sound. Silence in the cold, starry blue expanse of heaven; silence on the stretch of seemingly endless plain, each melting off into the other in a sort of neutral tint. Irrapped in her warm furs, she did not feel the first puffs of Il'ind tklt made her guide turn and look uneasily toward the mount­ains. "Shall I stop," he thought, "and demand why she is here? \Vhy) \\' hy? 1\ nd, then, if she will not gi\'e him up, I can slide llS both down into the canon. Hut, no; she is another man's wife. [h ave promised to take her safely to her husband," and he ground his teeth. He little thOLlght that she \I'ho sat so still on the sled there had not intrusted herself on the prairies alone with a stranger unarmed.

She watched his every movel1lent and fought against the sleepine;:s induced by the cold, and that steady monotonous crunch, crunch, crunch. .\t last nature asserted itself, and it seemed but a moment she slept. Awaking Il'ith a start-they had stopped. Before, and to the right, was a dark, deep chasm-to her unpracticed and startled sight a terrible place. Her guide paused. Surely he means mischief. I fer heart beats faster. Why hac! she been so r,lsh? She tries to be brave in vain. Her hand shakes; he comes nearer; she tries to say "Throw up your hands!" when he stooped, and, slipping off first one, then the other of his long shoes, placeJ them in front, and, without a word of explanation, gives the toboggan a push and dropped on behind.

She feels him steady himself, and then they plunged down, down, at a fearful rate.

TOy

Down, clown; faster, faster, they fly. Tears gather in her eyes . She can only see dimly a

yawning 'hasm 011 their rig-ht and a misty, endless slope ahe:td . • , Ah! now I can hal'e my rcveng-e," thinks ~chll)'ler; "one touch wit.h my f' Jt, and at

slower, and, finally, they cOllle to rest. ~he draws a breath of relief; her skillful c. ,o r

silently rises, and then again that monotonous crunch, crunch, crun:;h. 011, Illile after mile,

hour after hour; on, on, on, nothing but snow, and that silent figure going steadily ahead.

The wind comes noll' Illore steadily; crunch, crunch, crunch, tInt el'erlasting sounel.

On, on. A coyotc is heard, then silence, or ~he lon g moaning of the wind and that ne\'e r­

ceasing crunch. Suddenly the blood almust fre ezes in her I'cins. What was that far distant,

long drawn, wailing cry? Iler guide stol's as if frozen to the spot, listens, then tightening his belt, starts forward at a more rapid pace. Stories of Russian \\'ol\"es flash through her

mind, and-again that long-drawn hOII'I Nearer' \'es, it must be acknowled)!;ed . Perhaps

it was the wind. 0io, there it is again. On goes the tall figure. That crunch, crunch, crunch is quickened now; it is no longer monotonous; it is to be her ~ah·ati('n.

This is no boy's play for Schuyler. Often in those two years in the ,,'est had he hlessed his strong Illuscles, and endurance learned on l11any a hard foug-ht field, I Ie had not rowed,

run, and played foot-hall for nothing ()nly a liltlt: farther, scarcely two miles, and they \l'ould

be safe. Again that how\. The Irind is rising; the stars are one by one blotted out.

('runch, crunch, cruilch. Can it be possible' are his legs giving out, or is it fear? lIe

almost stumbles, but recovers himself. The snow is beginning to fall. .\ gain and again that

how\. "He will leav(' her and save himself. I Il)rrible! No, he will die with her." On, on.

1\t last here is the edge of the calion. They follow alo ng the brink for some distance. Can

he have missed the \l'ay? Where is the trail? I Ie stops bewildered. The snow is falling

faster. i\gain, anel now ne:l rer, comes that howl. "lIe l11ust-. \h! here i~ the trail marked by that old rock, now co\"(:red Irith snow, and there is a light in the ranch below." Again

and closer come the howls. He has found the trail, but is it not too late) lie can nel'er pick his way down thitt tortUOtiS path. In an instant his mind is made lip. I Ie sees one of his

pursuers come to the edge of the cliff, not ten yard,.; away. Xo time IS to be lost. Ilis kllife

cuts the lacing of his snowshoes, and, free from these, down they go, the wolvcs' teeth snap­ping at his disappearing heels.

Manya time during the SlIlllmer had he ridden dow\1 that trail, his little bronco, with his

feet planted, sliding and slipping, but never missing his footing, Noll' there is no time to folIo\\"

the lI'inding path, and down, down. .\t first he can keep the light in sight, but soon the snow,

NE day, toward sunset, the following June, two figures on hor~eback might have bee" seen at the head of the trail, sharply outlined against the glmring sky; a man and a woman. I f one had been near enough he might have he:nd the following conversation:

I con­gratulated myself when I secured Illy late chum. I Ie ',ras all that could be desired as a companion and a friend. The sun of our mutual regard shone upon us from a clear sky. Hut one day thcrp

appeared abore the hori/'(m a cloud no bigger than a dog's I'aw, but which grew black and furiot1s till it cOl'cred the whole sky, and all was darkness and storm. Chulllmyentered our room on that day accompanied by him who was to destroy oLir friendship. I fe Il'as a dog- a full-bl( ;oded bull terrier. It would be hard to imagine a

hOlllclier or Illore ill-fal'o red brllte. I I is ears, his no~e, his wicked eyes, his whole appearance,

It is easy to imagine lI'ith \\'hat deliciou,; thoughts I beguiled tbe time, as I dOllned my

Sunday jeans and encased m)' feet in patent leather, on Illy lirst /(:isure evening, before going

to see my charmer. l \S I thrust my best scarf-pin accurately throu ,~' h the point of intersection of the two flaps of m)' llew I'.'\scolt" th(' door opened, ant! in came Illy room-mate and the dog, At the sight of my extensil'e preparations he remarked, sarcastically, ".\h, there! Ain't we hot! Where in the name of goodness are rou going with all those togs on?" To chang'e the subject 1 inquired where in Iloboken he had picked up that miserable apology for a cur. He fired uJl at once, and declared that it \\'a s full-blooded and \'ery valuable, and that if I didn't believe it, to get down on Illy h:1IHls and knces and say" Ho\\,-wow " to the pup, 1 complied, in ordcr to show him how worthless all pretension~ of the beast to full-blood were, and S:lid I, Bow-wow " in a fieree tonc. The miserable animal imnwdiately fle\\' at me, and clung to my tie \\'ith remarkable tenacity, gro\\'ling mean\\'hlle \\'ith restrained fury. \\ he n Chulllmy called him oil, I arose and inspectcd damages. ]\ly ncw scarf lI'as reduccd to rags, my importcd collar cOI'ercd lI'ith dirt. and the Llney \'es ting', the elll y of the entirc class, I\'as ripl'cd in scveral places. Chummy lay back in his chair and roared; noll' and then he \\'ould ej:tculate " lIow foolish !" and go on laughing with all his might. Angry and disappointed, for I could not think of calling in my present plight, I cOlllmenccd fuming at the cause of l11y misfortune. "He isn't as blooded as if he were twice as blooded," remarked 111)' chum, " iJut he gets there just the same," I rather failed to see the cause of his merriment, and thought that he was not reall), as nice a fello\\' as 1 used to consider him.

Thus it was that the pup started the estrangement betll'een us, :\1)' roolll-mate de\'oted all his spare timc to the dog, and \\'e were not together as Illuc h as formerly, for I could not abide the brute, and got into the habit of sitting in other fell(J",\"s rooms. But one night Chummy and J were studying at our respecti\'e desks, and the> cur was roaming ahout at his

own sweet will. Suddenly 1 heard all exci:tmatioll from the other side of the room, The animal had upset Chummy's ink-wcll, and was contcmplating the flow of the contents from
