P ROFESSOR LUELLA CLAY CARSON began her work in thisUniversity in 1888, and si~ce that time has exercised a wide-
spread and deeply felt influence. She is an Oregonian, a most
loyal native daughter, her early life having been passed in Portland.
She spent two years in Mills College, California, but was obliged by ill-
health to leave that institution before she had completed· her course.
Entering St. Helen's Hall later, she was graduated at the end of two
years.
Her work as a college instructor began in Pacific University,
where she taught for five years. Afterward she came to the Univer-
sity of Oregon, where she filled the chair of Rhetoric and Elocution
until 1895, since which time she has been professor of Rhetoric and
English Literature.
During these years she has been a power in the lives of those
students who have received instruction in her department. Her own
interest and enthusiasm in her line of work has not failed to awaken
something of the same interest and enthusiasm among the students.
Even those who feel the routine hard, and the thoroughness and
accuracy required in her classes something of a burden, have found
in their after lives that the strenuous work required by the English
department has proved the most valuable training which they have
received in their college career. While all of her courses require
faithful and earnest labor, yet each one yields its own rich return in
the increased ability of the student. It is a noteworthy fact that in
spite of the many years during which Professor Carson has been teach-
ing the same subjects, the courses each year are given with renewed
freshness, vigor and enthusiasm.
From the beginning she has shown a personal interest in the
welfare of each student, nor does this interest cease with graduation;
it follows the men and women in their life work, with the kindest
sympathy and interest.
No one cali be under her influence and training without feeling
the effect of her sunny optimism and her intense belief in all that is
good and noble in human nature. It is a significant index of her char-
acter that the word most often upon her lips is "beautifu1."

Building for the Future.
In a young, developing institution like our own, progress can not
be correctly measured by the ordinary standards of attendance, teach-
ing force and equipment. A great deal of its energy is necessarily di-
rected to shaping its tendencies, to setting in train the forces which
should go to realize the higher ideals sought in its future develop-
ment. These larger plans, this building for the future, must be con-
sidered in estimating the importance of any period or epoch in the his-
tory of our university.
Keeping in mind this broader basis of judgment, it is believed that
the past year has been singularly significant. In the promotion of Ollf
purely material equipment we can point to the new heating plant and
engineering building, and to the plans of the Board of Regents for
further building impmvements. In the same category falls the gener-
ous appropriation voted for the library one year ago, which has prob-
ably given the institution as great an impulse on its upward way as
any like expenditure could possibly do.
Of a somewhat different order, but in their way equally indica-
tive of substantial progress, are the appointment of the university
steward to assume complete responsibility for the purely business and
financial aspects of the administration; and the development of a sys-
tem of registration on lines similar to those followed by all of the
leading universities of the country. These two changes have already
done a great deal, and promise to do much more, toward securing the
greatest possible ecoilOmy and efficiency in the management of the in-
stitution.
From the standpoint of the relations of the University to the edu-
cational forces of the State, the past year has witnessed the inaugura-
tion of two important movements, the summer school and the system
of accrediting. The first session of the University summer school was
held in July and August, 1901, for a period of six weeks, and was
fairly well attended by those for whom is is especially intended, the
teachers in the public schools of Oregon. A second session will be
held during the present summer, and it i!> believed that a much larger
25
number of teachers will avail themselves of the opportunity thus of-
fered for getting in touch with the higher education, and making use
of the very superior equipment, in some lines, afforded by the Univer-
sity. By thus opening its doors during the summer vacation to those
who could not attend :ljt any other season, the University is simply
recognizing the obligation laid upon it, as the state-supported center of
higher education, to distribute its benefits as widely as its means will
pei-mit.
The system of accrediting authorized by the Board of Regents
within the past year, ha~ for its aim to enable all secondary schools of
the State to bring their courses of instruction into harmony with the
University's entrance requirements, and thus secure the right to have
their graduates admitted without examination. The system involves
inspection by the University, on application, thus bringing the Uni-
versity into much closer relations with the secondary schools than
heretofore, to the manifest advantage of both; for it will enable the
central institution to shape its work to the needs of the State, and it
will, on the other hand, provide a more regular body of students than
the University has hitherto had. If the experience of other states is
any criterion, the system of inspection and accrediting, inaugurated this
year, will in the future be regarded as one of the most momentous de-
partures in the history of the institution. The magnificent high school
systems of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and California
all bear testimony to the efficacy of such a system in developing the
secondary schools, while the state universities of the same states are
witnesses to the favorable reaction exerted by the system upon these
institutions. .
26
The New Building and
Heating Plant.
The new central heating plant and light station for the University
was completed early in the winter, and has since been in successful oper-
ation. Funds for its construction were provided by the last legislature,
which appropriated th-e sum of $25,000 for a "central heat and lighting
plant and hall of engineering."
The new building, which houses the plant and serves also as a hall
of engineering, is made of brick laid in cement mortar, upon concrete
foundations. The main part is 40x80 feet, two stories high, while the
boiler house annex is 41X44 feet, and contains the two boilers and a
concrete walled pit about 12 feet deep, in which are placed the pumps
and receiving tank. •
In the main building, the north half of the first story has a concrete
floor and is divided into two rooms, one of which contains the engines
and dynamo, and the other is to be used for electrical apparatus. The
south half is divided into an entrance hall (in which is the stairway
to the second floor) and two rooms which are used by Professor Mc-
Alister, the one facing the east and south as a draughting room, in
charge of :Mr. Adams, and the other as a lecture and recitation room.
The second story is given entirely to the workshop in charge of Mr.
Dearborn, except one room for lectures or recitations.
The brick for the face walls are of a cherry red color, carefully
selected, and the mortar is stained the same color. Relief is given by a
27
buff-colored belt of cement extending around the building under the
first story window sills, and by arches of buff-colored voussoirs over all
windows. A handsome porch with stone steps adorns the front en-
trance, and a roof of pressed metal, known as "Spanish tile," adds its
share to the appearance of the building.
The lighting plant, with the exception of some necessary changes
in wiring and the replacement of the old inadequate boilers by the new
ones, is practically the old plant in new quarters.
The steam for the heating system is generated in two horizontal
steel-shell tubular boilers of 8S horse-power each. The necessary draft
is produced by a brick chimney 70 feet high. Space has been left in
the boiler room and the dimensions of the chimney have been arranged
to accommodate two more boilers, to be added as the needs of the
institution increase.
From the boilers, the steam, after passing an automatic reducing
valve, is conducted to the various buildings by two main pipes laid
underground. A seven-inch main supplies Villard Hall and Deady
Hall, and a six-inch main supplies the gymnasium, McClure Hall, and
the dormitory, the new building having a separate pipe of its own.
Each room and hallway in the buildings is provided with radiators
of proper size and number to maintain a comfortable temperature in
any weather. The water of condensation is drained back by a separate
system of pipes to a large steel receiving tank in the pit of the boiler-
house, whence it is returned by pumps to the boilers.


The Medical Department of
the University.
The Medical Department of the University of Oregon, which was
chartered by the Regents in 1887, in 1895 became a graded school
occupying the advanced rank of those re'quiring from their students
as a condition of graduation, attendance upon f01tr full courses of
lectures in a regular medical college. The result of this advance as
shown in our work under the four courses system has proven eminently
satisfactory..
The requirements of this school are in strict accordance with those
laid down by the Association of American Medical Colleges, 9f which
this school is a member.
The College of Medicine, while virtually at Eugene, is practically
carried on at the City of Portland, because of the obvious advantages
to be found in a metropolis for the successful prosecution of medical
studies. The course commences about October 1st and continues six
months. The teaching corps consists of fourteen professors and eleven
lecturers and demonstrators. Eighty students were in attendance dur-
ing the season of 1901-02. The alumnae number over one hundred
and fifty..
The college building, located on the corner of Twenty-third and
Lovejoy streets, opposite Good Samaritan hospital, is a model of con-
venience, being furnished with all the aids to medical education which
modern advancement requires. Laboratories for chemical, histological,
pathological j bacteriological and other work are provided, and arrange-
ments made for special attention to these important practical depart-
ments. The dissecting laboratory is most conveniently arranged, is light
and airy and is furnished with artificial stone tables of special design
and electric fixtures for artificial illumination.
Our connection, through members of the faculty, with St. Vincent's
and Good Samaritan hospitals, is such as to afford the most enlarged
advantages for clinical instruction in the wards of those institutions,
31
,
members of the medical staff of each being also members of the college
faculty.
These two hospitals afford opportunities to the students of this
college for clinical work and instruction unequaled anywhere in the
Northwest.
Their proximity to the college clusters the buildings for both
didactic and clinical instruction, so that the necessity for the student to
travel long distances in order properly to carryon his work is overcome
and thus much valuable time saved to him.
A premedical course is given at the University at Eugene, for
which one year's credit is given by the medical school, thus reducing
the time at the medical to three years.
One full scholarship and two half-scholarships are open to grad-
uates of the University of Oregon with the degree of A. B. or B. S., of
not more than two years' standing.


In Metnoriatn.
Vincent J. G. Straub, son of Professor John Straub, died at his
home March 26, 1902. He attended the University until ill health com-
pelled him to discontinue his studies. Thoughtful, studious and am-
bitious in his school work, he was none the less active when separated
from his college associates. Though removed from the activities of
life, yet he never lost his intense interest in them. Keenly alert and of
wonderfully retentive memory, he gave promise of a splendid future.
The noble strength of his character grew daily more evident to those
who knew him best. Even in the midst of suffering he was patient,
self-forgetful and cheerful. The purity and sweetness of the note
which he struck in the great harmony of life will long vibrate in the
hearts of those who loved him, and his memory will ever be held dear
in lives "made better by his presence."

Of the onginal class of 1902 only
five are left to tell the tale, and none
of these have been asked. Twenty-
four will be the number to bid fare-
well to these halls in June, Providence
permitting (Providence includes the
heads of the mathematical and bio-
logical departments). Of this number
only two have plans for the future
which involve the co-operation of each
other. What will become of the others
is-question enough for the prophet, but
it may be expected that in the busy world there is work to be done by
those who are willing to do it, and here it might be well to take a bird's-
eye view of the class for the past four years to see what a labor force it
contains.
On other pages are a lot of pictures, in connection with which are
"little lists of what has been did" by the above or the below. All this
piled up in one heap would be more impressive than scattered about so.
Before doing this it may be stated that in social matters the women have
been the "backbone" of the class, if such a dry simile may be used, but
it is conceded that, on occasions, the men have exhibited "nerve." But
to bunch the evidence in favor of the twenty-four seniors, the following
is a part of the truth:
The class of 1902 happened to get out the first Junior Annual at
the University of Oregon. It has furnished the monthly and the
4 1
weekly each with an editor-in-chief, the former with three business
managers and three assistant editors, and the latter with one business
manager and two assistant editors. Two of three presidents of the
Glee Club have been chosen from this class, while both the Glee Club
and Treble Clef have given better music becal~se the class helped sing.
We have had two men on the debating team and have sent two to
represent Oregon in the state oratorical contest. The only baseball
manager that the University has had since we've been here was chosen
from this class, while one member has managed the football team and
another has trained the track team. Six men have earned places on the
track team, and four on the eleven, while two have been chosen on the
All-Northwest team. The track and football men have each been cap-
tained by '02 men. The class has furnished a president for both the Y.
M. and Y. W. C. A., and nine presidents for the literary societies.
Also,- but this is a good place to stop.
It isn't expected that anyone will read the above, but it is the last
time, perhaps, that the class will have the chance to compliment itself,
and so it has been done-and all in good faith .

lUWUlOJlR{§
All good things have small begin-
nings. As we look back upon those
childish days of our first struggles
after knowledge, we wonder how so
great a matter could have had so small
a beginning.' We were very meek in
those by-gone, freshman days. We
suffered the "oppressor's wrongs, the
law's delay," and every spurn which the ingenious and superior sopho-
more could devise.
From the trying, hobbledehoy freshman we changed into the self-
complacent sophomore. Our one aim was to forget the indignities of
our previous year. The only hap worth 'recording of our sophomore
year is the fate of the play (deceased), that was to have appeared at the
reception to be given on Sophomore Day. This reception was planned
as a substitute for the much-put-off senior farce. The preparations
were to be elaborate. Palms, vines and flowers were to transform.
Villard Hall into fairy land, and the class talent was going to prove its
metal. But.the play and the reception went the way of the senior farce,
and sought the bourne from which no traveler has ever returned.
As juniors we can be readily distinguished from our college
mates by our general air of business, and by the number of books under
our arms. We are now tasting the sweets due the dignity of a junior,
without the bitterness, yet to come, of appearing before the senior credit
committee.
Our achievements-it would take space to relate them! We have
done everything that every junior class before us has thought of, and
more, too. We have accepted, as our fitting prerogative, our share of
offices, declining some positions as befiits the modesty of the truly great.
Our men and women are found in all the walks of college life. We
47
supply brain, brawn, and wonderful lung capacity and enthusiasm to
the class-room, athletics and campus. The junior cap is an exponent
of our rare taste. What we have not done has been as conspicuous as
what we have done. We have not boasted of our superiority over under-
classmen. And, what is much more to our credit, oh ye seniors, we
have not vaunted our happy, care-free existence in the face of your
troublous life.
If anyone reads this history and believes it not we invite him to
inspect the Monthly, the Eutaxian, glee clubs and Y. M. C. A.-all
monuments of our persevering industry and ability, we modestly assert.
The rest of our doings, achievements, aspirations and dead hopes,
behold, are they not all written in the book of the chronicles of the
Webfoot? Read it and see for yourselves the truth concerning us. If
we seem to think more highly of ourselves than we ought, bear with us,
for it is only a matter of a few days when we shall a second time, be
passing through our freshmen experiences, and this time in higher
surroundings.

FroIn the Letters and Diary
of a Sophomore .8 .8 .8 .8
Sept. 23. IgOl.
I did not keep a diary last year. It was just as well, for when
you are a freshman there are many things you need to forget. But
there are so many things a sophomore has to remember that I shall need
one this year. If last year's sergeant-at-arms should really get to be
President of the United States, how useful you might be. little book,
in writing a description of his college life!
Sept. 26, 1901.
I realized for the first time, today, that I really was a Soph. A
freshie asked me if I was a freshman. The dignity with which I
answered him almost made me forget the time last year when I asked
the assistant in the English department if she had registered yet.
Oct. 2, 1901.
Dear Sister: A very rude thing happened today. Our class secre-
tary put a notice on the board that the sophmore class would meet.
Some one put in the "0" and wrote sarcastic comments on it. It was
something like the time last year when the boys printed two hundred
and fifty yell cards on fine white cardboard, and had to throw them
away because they said, "Yell with the Freashmun." Some of the
juniors laughed at that, too.
Oct. 17. 1901.
Dear Father: I handed in my first essay in sophomore English
today. It was an excellent production. I worked about fifteen hours
on it. I am sure of an "A." There is nothing like making a good start.
59
Nov. 6, Igor.
A class meeting was called but we did not have a quorum.
Nov. 7, IgOr.
Got a little c on that essay. Must work harder next time.
Dec. 4, IgOr.
We had a class meeting today, but one of the boys got hungry and
went home, so there wasn't a quorum, and we had to adjourn.
Dec. 18, IgOr.
I was so busy with football that I did not have time to work up
my essay on Criticism. I wrote it after eight o'clock and had to hand
it in at ten. I suppose I'll have to write it over.
Jan. 12, Ig02.
Three people recited "Marmion Paused to Bid Adieu" in elocution
today.
Jan. 14, Igo2.
My Dear Mother: I got back my essay on Criticism today. I
know you are proud of my sticcesses, so I write about it. This was the
comment at the end: "A great improvement over previous work. This
paper shows much thought arid careful preparation." And I got a big
"A"! I wrote it according to a new plan of work, which I shall follow
hereafter.

Dear Father: The report which you heard that the freshman class
president did not go to the class party because the sophomores stole his
best clothes must have been false. I saw him the other day and he had
the clothes. It is true that the freshmen did not make proper provision
for light and spoons, but were not to blame for that.
Feb. ro.
The class is to have its picture in the Junior Annual.
60
Feb. 12.
Thirteen of the class had their pictures taken for the Annual. Most
of them wouldn't come to the gallery because some one hurt their feel-
ings by saying that their picture would be valuable in a collection of
CUriOS.
March I.
We had a class meeting.
March 2.
Dear Mary: I can't imagine who told you that we had no class
spirit. It is a base libel. True, we have not had many class meetings,
but that was because we realized the true spirit of being sophomores.
When you were a freshman you have class meetings because you never
were a class before and need to get used to it. Juniors have class meet-
ings because they have to publish josh departments and adopt caps.
Seniors have meetings because they will soon be out in the cold, wide
world, and it's their last chance to call each other names. But it is a
sophomore's duty to grow in the knowledge of the compilation, and he
has not time for anything else.

The freshman class did not start out with a yell this
year, but settled quietly down to business. After about six
weeks of doubt and uncertainty, getting acquainted with the
profession, meeting the self-appointed hazing committees,
trying to escape the inevitable mathematics, and finding out
where we were "at," a class meeting was called and the following
officers were elected: President, V. W. Tomlinson; vice-president,
Mary Gray; secretary, Alice Merriman; treasurer, David Graham;
editor, A. R. Tiffany.
The class did not follow the illustrious example of the freshman
class of last year and organize a freshman football team, but it con-
tributed its share toward making up the "Varsity" team. Of that
team three were freshmen, and they were among the best of the
players.
In Glee Club, Treble Clef, baseball and debate the freshmen are
well represented. Eight of the sixteen Glee Club men are freshmen,
while the Treble Clef has seven and the indoor baseball team four.
Very distinguished are we already, but there are some things we do not
care to talk about, for instance, geometry and trigonometry.
The freshmen hold the honor of being the first and, until very re-
cently, the only class to have a class party this year. The party was
given at the gymnasium, and was one of the most pleasant social events
of the year. Another is planned for spring, when a coaching or boating
party will be given.
S. A. Pennick was elected class orator. Of course the freshmen
are not supposed to win, but our orator came so near it that even the
seniors held their breath. He lacked very much of being in the fresh-
man's accustomed place, the foot of the list.
More than this, the freshmen will play tennis, will show the others
their heels on the track, and do various other great and noble things.
Watch out for us, we're coming. All hail dear old U. of 0., the glorious
'Varsity of Oregon.

It is always pleasant to write about
something which does not need to be intro-
duced with an apology, and which has
earned for itself the acknowledged right
and license to exist. So it is in talking
about the literary societies,-we need not
come as some societies in the world, we
fear, must needs come, with a mouth fuIl
of excuses to make up for the fact that they
have no high aim and have accomplished
no visible good. The literary societies come
with gladness, "bringing in the sheaves,"
and if the crops have at times been irregu-
lar, and some of the sheaves have been
thin on account of a hot wave from the mathematical depart-
ment or a cold one from the chemical laboratory, stiU the output has
on the whole beel1 fairly satisfactory. Fairly satisfactory we say ad-
visedly. Valuable lessons have been learned and exceIlent work done
in every field of the societies' endeavor. Many an aspiring one has been
encouraged and enabled by society work to think before an audience
and to express what he thinks in clear, forcible English, and that is a
great aim for any man or woman. There is a wealth of knowledge to
be gained, indeed, if one ventures but once before an audience. One
recognizes then that strange feeling of helplessness that comes with the
realization of what a very great difference there is between being talked
to and being looked ~hile talking. One's body seems to be in de-
71
tached, uncorrelated sections, with the head far away from the rest,
while a mad haste to get through seizes the speaker and hurries him
incoherently on. But the' trained society worker is equally at home
discussing questions of parliamentary law, addressing the house, or in
presiding over it. He has learned to look the genus homo in the eye.
He has learned to control himself in thought and statement, and is no
longer helpless in public meeting, but is, instead, a leader of action.
So the societies have done a great work. But it is not yet time
to say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant," for they are not
done. In the last years calamity seems to have laid its hand on the
literary societies with blighting effect. They have reeled and faltered
under the pressure of athletic interests, social interests and many other
interests, which have failed to recognize the claims of the societies, and
which have done much to discredit them and draw attendance from
them. In meeting this difficulty, the results have as yet been far from
satisfactory. This is the critical point in the struggle for existence. If
they adapt themselves to circumstances, they will live. So now is the
time for the societies to gather together all their pristine strength, and
in memory of former glory go to the final struggle. But their methods
must not be the old methods, they must adapt themselves to changed
conditions, take advantage of new opportunities and cut loose from
hampering restrictions. Then, in an enlarged sphere of activity, with
wider scope and wider powers, they will once more dominate among
students by reason of the fact that they have enlisted the intellect and
earnestness of the student body.

There are two clubs in the University that are heartily supported
not only by the music-Ioving people, but by the whole student body.
One of these is the Treble Clef, which is an organization for young
women. This club gives an annual concert, consisting of vocal and
instrumental music. To one particularly interested in music, the work
of this c1ubgives both instruction and pleasure.
The other organization is the Glee Club, a club for young men.
In order to become a member of this a young man must not only have
a good voice and be able to read music weil, but also have a standing of
at least eighty per cent. in his college work. The club gives an a11l1t1al
concert, and often during the Christmas and spring vacations makes a
tour of sorne of the cities of Oregon and vVashington.

The real purpose of the Christian Associa-
tion is "to lead college men and women to em-
brace and maintain such a faith in Jesus Christ
as Lord and Saviour that they will personally
surrender to Him the mastery of their daily lives
and share His passion for the extension of His
kingdom."
From this it is seen that the Associations
have been created for no small task. They aim
to give to men and women a training which is a necessary part of a
well-rounded education. The colleges and universities have their
special departments for calling into vigorous activity all the powers of
mir.d and body; but it has been left to the Associations to develop
the third and most important side of man's nature, the spiritual.
It is evident, therefore, that as the Associations are working not
for themselves but for certain definite ends; to attain these ends they
must use definite means, the most important of which is Bible Study.
As is implied by the term, this is more than superficial reading of the
Scriptures; the courses offered dema\ld a systematic and daily atten-
tion to the Bible and lead to an unprejudiced investigation and prac-
tical application of its tfLlths and to an experimental knowledge of that
power which comes to a more fully devotional daily life.
Christ said: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature." Anxious to learn what influence this is having upon
the progress of the world and how it should touch their own lives, the
members of the Associations have regular missionary meetings and
also a class for the systematic study of missions. And besides a small
library of their own, they have access to a large collection of books on
missions at the Eugene Divinity School.
The work of the Associations has been more palpable though not
more real in other lines. Early in the fall they make themselves felt in
the welcome and aid they give new students who are strangers in Eu-
gene and to the University. They greet them when they first arrive,
help them to find boarding places, and give them receptions at which
they may become acquainted with those who are to be a part of their
college life. Then there follow mid-year receptions and other affairs
which are prominent in the social life of the University.
.But ever since their organization, the Associations have felt that
their work could be more successfully accomplished if they had a
building of their own. Meetings were first held in rooms down town.
Since then they have been forced to move several times: first, to the
north parlor of the dormitory; then to Collier Hall; next to the south
parlor of the dormitory; and finally sought refuge in the basement of
Deady Hall. ow there is some prospect that their hopes will soon be
realized and that their next move will be to a permanent home. In Feb-
ruary, 1901, a moveme.nt was set on foot to raise a $20,000 fund for a
building for the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associa-
tions of the University of Oregon.
The pledges were made subject to the condition that amounts
aggregating $10,000 should be assured on or before December 4,
1901. On March 21, the students themselves pledged over $2800; the
next day the faculty came up with $1500; and the business men of Eu-
gene subscribed over $2000. And on December 4, it was found that
the entire $10,000 had been subscribed and the building thus assured.

Societas Quirinais.
The advantages of seminar work,
or something like it, are very well
known in educational circles. This
method has been utilized here for
the study of the inhumanities
(Greek and Latin) through the or-
ganization of the Societas Quirina-
lis or Classical Club. This half so-
cial, half scholastic sodality meets ~<.,!: ·'.. t' ..<:i: .'" •
on the second Tuesday of each ~-~
month at previously designated
places, and enables the members
thoroughly to slake their intel-
lectual thirst concerning Terence's debt to the preceding Greek
comedians, or any other topic of vital import which cannot be
the earth, as well as strata and voltage, we cherish the Societas Ql1iri-
nalis, and wish it continued life. Vlfe are members of what is going to
exhausted in the class-room. As the applied and profitable sciences are
now enjoying an extensive vogue, while classical culture finds a rather
scant pasturage among us, the society has hardly flourished to the full
ambition of its founders. It is yet alive, and its members are doing and
learning a few things in unobstrusive ways. As an earnest of our in- \
tention to foster here a scholarship considerate of the old perfection of
the earth, as well as strata and voltage, we cherish the Societas Iniri-
nalis, and wish it continued life. We are members of what is going to
be a University, and cannot, therefore, admit the sophistry that the only
profitable or worthy knowledge is that certain to afford net profits.

Educational Club.
This club is composed chiefly of those students who are especially
in education; however, several of the teachers in the city school are
also included among its members.
Meetings are held every two weeks, at which times papers and
book-reviews written by the members are read and discussed. Often
prominent educators address the club on some subject dealing with
education.
To those who expect to make teaching their work in life, the work
of this club is very valuable.
The officers of this club are: President, Dr. Sheldon; Secretary,
Geo. O. Goodall.

Biological Club.
The Biological Club is composed of students taking work in the
Biologicql department who are interested in special research in the
science of biology. The club meets every two weeks, at which time
papers are presented by members of the club. These papers and topics
of interest from current magazines are discussed. The work in the club
is of great benefit to those making a specialty of biology.

ATHLETICS
"
","
",,

·~ OOllB!r\ll~ Th, gmwth and development of outdom
athletics at the University of Oregon has
been most remarkable, considering the fact
that only ten years ago, the entire athletic
equipment of the University consisted of a
swing and a trapeze, which ornamented the
campus just under the grand old oaks. To-
day, the 'varsity points to a' triumphant
athletic record, one of many victories and
not a few defeats, but one which would do
credit to many a larger institution.
Intercollegiate athletics began at the
University of Oregon on February 22, 1894,
when the first 'varsity football eleven won
over Albany College by a handsome score.
The game was played on the west end of
the campus, where the running track is
now situated. In the photograph of this
historic event, which now adorns the wall
of Director Burden's office, Professor Glen, then a student, appears
among the rooters, while Condon C. McCornack, the erstwhile Presi-
dent of our student body, and Philippine war hero, stands on the
fence, with his hands in his pockets, and views the sport from afar.
It was in this game that the Oregon students first saw the "flying
wedge," one of the football executions of the old school and long
since discarded. In the fall of the same year, the 'varsity kickers
were out again in full force, and although the team did not win a
single game, nor score a single touchdown, the season was not with-
. out its results, for Shattuck, Edmunson, "Hank" Templeton and
others who made the '95 eleven invincible, gained their first experi.
ence of the great gridiron game.
The next year's team, that of 1895, was a remarkable
one in many ways, but its chief claim to distinction lies in
the fact that its record is not marred by a single defeat-,
something that no other Oregon eleven ever boasted of. At the close
of the season of 1895, the University of Oregon was in the front
rank of football leadership, and Shattuck, Coleman and Edmunson
had won for themselves college immortality. The next year, Oregon
tackled Multnomah for the first time and was beaten by a score of
12 to 6. It was during this season that Bishop's work as a half-back
began 'to attract attention, and Dick Smith appeared for the first time
in the football arena. In 1897, Oregon lost the intercollegiate cham-
pionship of the state for the first time in three years, but the next year
was a glorious one, the 'varsity winning. back its lost honors. In
1899, the eleven went abroad for the first time, tackled the University
of California, and held the heavy southerners down to a 12 to 0 score.
The same year, the 'varsity held Multnomah down to a scoreless game
and won the intercollegiate championship of the state with compara-
tive ease.
The season of 1900, the year that Oregon triumphed over Cali-
fornia and buried Washington deep under an overwhelming score,
still delights the fancies of those who never tire in talking of athletics
and recounting the prowess of the Webfoot teams. Last season,
the fates were unkind. Graduation and other causes took away
many of the sturdy lads that played on the famous team of 1900.
With a light and inexperienced team, Oregon went through the
hardest schedule in her history and was beaten by teams that could
not have stood against the freshmen team of the year before. -Next
season, the story will be a different one.
Not alone in the record of victories has Oregon's football his-
tory been remarkable, but in the development of great individual
players. Smith, who last season surprised the football critics of
the East and drew enthusiastic opinions from such great writers as
Casper Whitney, is one of the greatest players that the Pacific Coast
ever produced. Jakway, who played left tackle on the 'varsity for
three sea~ons, is the peer of Smith in many respects, but lacks the
former's great prowess as a ground-gainer. The work of Coleman
at end would have won him a position on many an Eastern team,
while Ziegler's performances have been equally as noteworthy. Shat-
tuck and Edmunson could have filled the guard positions on most
106
any football team, and the work of quarterbacks Edwards and Scott
ranks them among the best players ever turned out in the Northwest.
As a ground-gaining half-back, Bishop was one of the surest and
safest men that ever wore the "0."
In the selection of football coaches, Oregon has had rea?on to
congratulate herself many times over. Dr. Frank W. Simpson, now
head coach at the University of California, is the man who, above all
others, has made Oregon's football record what it is. Dr. Simpson's
policy may be summed up in one word, "earnestness." His general
style of coaching was followed by Messrs. Kaarsberg and Smith,
both of whom deserve the highest praise for their work.
The signal triumphs of Oregon's football men have been due, in
no small degree, to a hearty co-operation of all interests. When the
spirit has been lacking, victories have been few. If the University,
and by this is meant everyone connected with the institution, will
stand by the football men, encourage them, co-operate with them,
and be true to them, then our future success is assured. Let us hope
that the season of 1902 'will see victory perched upon our banner and
that the "Rah! Rah! Oregon!" will once more tell of success upon
the' gridiron field.

The work of the 'varsity athletes has
been even more conspicuous than that of
the football men, for out of eleven meets
in which the Oregon team ha'le com-
peted, only twice have they been de-
feated. Track athletics began at the
University of Oregon in 1895 and their
rapid growth and popularity has been something phenomenal. Direc-
tor Weatherbee trained the team the first year, and when Hurley ran
the mile in 5 :56 and Templeton tossed the old wood~n-handled hammer
for 9O-odd feet, folks thought that Oregon had two fine athl~tes; and
they were good men, too, for that day. Records soon began to suffer,
for signal performances were made each year, until the figures are in
such a shape today that it will require speedy men to make new marks
in any of the events. The University has certainly turned out some
wonderful track athletes, and comparison of records show that many
of them would be point-winners at any field meet in the land. In the
vault and hurdles, Heater has proved himself the peer of any Pacific
Coast athlete, while the work of Higgins, Kuykendall, Payne, Red-
mond and Poley would entitle them to run in the fastest company.
Scott was a very fast bicycle rider during his college days, and Smith's
work with the hammer always won him a first place, with the excep-
tion of the time he tackled the mighty Plaw, of California.
The University of Oregon track athletes won the state field meet
five times out of six, won the Northwest championship for three sea-
sons, and last year took second rank among the colleges of the Coast.
Their work against the Californians last spring was a great surprise,
and· they concluded the season by administering a severe drubbing to
the top-heavy Multnomah people. Of all the meets in which the Ore-

The Reign of Terror.
(Prize StOry.)
F the White Cat had ever been a kitten it was a fact on
I which to ponder. It would have been a profitable studyto those interested in the "Development of the Species,"
especially the cat species, for without a doubt it takes
some degree of development to transform that gay, little,
soft, roly-poly firework we call a kitten intv a shrieking,
clawing cyclone, abhorred of dog and man. Of course
the cat evolved, if we may use the word, from the kitten,
for, following the principle of deductive reasoning, every
cat has at ~ome time been a kitten, and the White Terror
was a cat.
One can not help wondering sometimes if Pharaoh's heart would
not have been softened sooner if he had been plagued with cats, ap-
plied at night, instead of frogs and locusts; but Providence must have
understood the dispensing of plagues in Pharaoh's time as well as now.
Why else should the White Terror have held his way in a university
town, where the special demand of Professor Harmon's anatomy class
was an unlimited supply of cats of any age, size or station?
The spinsters of the town did not lavish their preference on cats,
for one day the petted feline might bask in affection that should have
blessed some "other half," the next day's sun would see the remains of
poor puss swimming in the tank of preserving fluid, while the lads
and lasses of Professor Harmon's class sharpened their dissecting in-
struments and carved their way in pursuit of science. But it is only
fair to state that the 'White Cat did not need to swim in preserving
fluid before it claimed the interest of the biology class. It was not a
portion of his muscular foreleg or quivering tail, or the structure of
his lungs, which, by the way, gave every indication of being of the
lustiest order, that aroused the ardent followers of Vesal to turn their
energy and knives toward the White Terror of the town.
Judge Roswell rose at midnight from his well-earned repose to
pronounce judgment on the cat. That one, however, pleaded its own
139
cause from the balcony railinf; with such effect that the Judge trembled
as he passed the verdict. The verdict was not verbal, but leather, at
six dollars a pair, and it passed through the window, and only as an
explanation we may say that it also passed the cat. The Judge did
not usually put so much force into a verdict. A pair of eager eyes
glared at the Judge as he came home late from lodge the next night,
and a lithe body brushed past his feet as he came up to the door. Wasn't
little Mary Finn scared into convulsions by seeing a great, white crea-
ture ~itting on the window-sill gazing in at her with evil, sinister
eyes? When the old doctor came hurrying up the walk something slim
and wiry twisted around his ankles, and he came to grief on the
stone doorstep. Little Mary had a brother in the anatomy class. It
was here that the plot for the extermination of the White Terror origi-
nated. So the White eat's love of mischief brought the crisis, for while
little Mary was ill, the anatomy class took a solemn pledge that she
should never have reason to fear seeing the Terror again.
Their campaign was of doubtful success. A body of eager young
students, armed with notebooks, dissecting sets and a college yell,
14°
against a Fabian, I apoleon, Kruger, Jul-
ius Caesar, Schley, White Cat, even if
they had weapons of the most terribl~
kind, and an inexhaustible variety of col-
lege yells, does not present a spectacle of
equal chance, but rather bespeakS cha-
grin for the weaker party. Professor
Harmon looked dubious when he heard
the destruction of the White Cat discuss-
ed, and heard plump, blonde Emily Kane
request the privilege of cutting up its
eyes. The professor felt dubious then
and he felt the feeling return as, day after
day, the usual black or yellow fe-
lines appeared and disappeared un-
der the knives in the laboratory and
the White Cat was not in evidence. Most
likely it never would have reached the
place if there had not been a wedding at
Christmas. Not that weddings have much
to do with the extermination of yawling
prowlers on backyard fences. But this
wedding was a remedy for this particular
form of tyranny. It was the marriage of
the minister's daughter to the professor of
psychology at the university. We could
tell some very interesting stories about
their courtship; how the professor's hopes
brightened and darkened and brightened
again, but as we have told that the wed-
ding was at Christmas time, you know
that it came out all right.
These two had been out for a walk one afternoon late in N ovem-
ber. The damp twilight of evening caught them as they were coming
back. They were passing the cemetery when Sibyl, glancing up, saw
a crouching form gleaming white among the grave stones. "Oh, there
is that White Cat," she said, almost in a whisper. "What do you sup-
pose it is doing away out here?" "Cats are weird creatures," said the
professor of psychology, who was inclined to be flippant at times.
Sibyl gave a nervous glance backward. The dusk had fallen
but she thought she saw a dim form dodge across the brown furze. She
walked closer to the professor after that.
"The White Cat has a price on its head," said the professor. "The
anatomy class has offered five dollars to anyone who will bring it
dead or alive to the laboratory. Knols had it cornered not long ago,
but it transfixed him with a savage look and while he stood, it ran."
Sibyl laughed as she told him of her brother's attempt to capture the
Terror by entrapping him. "It shrieked on our back porch for half the
night," she said. "We could not frighten it away. Dick is furious and
is trying to perfect a scheme for catching it in a net." "Like a butter-
fly?" asked the professor.
But why waste time telling of this walk in the misty twilight?
We are more interested in the wedding, though it is said that the Clay
was set during that walk home. It is also on record that the White Cat
crouching behind a low wall, grinned an evil grin when it saw the pro-
fessor of psychology kiss the minister's daughter in the shadow of the
holly bush.
It was long re'membered by the students of the anatomy class how
they entrapped the cat one Friday night. They cornered it under
Deacon Harkey's barn. They were sure they had it. \Vhile they made
every way of escape impossible and prepared for the final conflict, be-
hold, the White Terror was crouching on the window-sill of the dea-
con's parlor, with lashing tail and gleaming eyes, frightening the group
of girls within and bringing a sudden end to their merriment. The
deacon was away or the White Cat would have been a corpse that night
-at least so the deacon said. The cat was not heard to make any re-
mark on that special subject. For the remainder of that night it held
the closest attention of the professor of anatomy as it discoursed a
symphony in highest F, sharpened several times and cadenced in the
142
most approved operatic fashion. The professor's appreciation was
doubtful, but he listened with grim resignation.
But the wedding! We might tell how the night before, Sibyl
walked down to the gate with the professor for the last time in their
courtship. She stood alone when he had gone, gazing for a moment
at the splendor of the sky. Then came a light touch on her skirt and
a soft little sound like the call of a kitten. A long, lithe form dimly
white in the star-light rubbed against her· dress; blue sparks flashed
from snapping fur, a long tail lashed across her hand. Sibyl stood
frozen with fright, for the treachery of the White Terror was a house-
hold word. His gleaming eyes flashed back the light of the stars as he
glared up at her, making his little plaintive cries. Suppose he should
spring at her face? With a shriek of horror at the thought, Sibyl flew
to the house. It was whispered the next day that the minister and his
wife, startled at her cry, hurried to the door with a light, to find Sibyl
in a dead faint on the steps, and across her hand from side to side, two
long, red cuts, like deep scratches.
In the happy excitement of the next day ,",he forgot her fright. It
was a church wedding, The students of the university were there in
a body, with many others who had been friends to Sibyl in her bright,
young life. Before the bank of ferns and roses on the altar the young
pair stood, Sibyl in softest white, with a floating bridal veil, a little
circle of gold on her hand. As the last words of the service were pro-
nounced, there was a slight flurry among the bridesmaids, and Pro-
fessor Harmon, who was groomsman, saw with dismay the gleam of
beryl eyes among the roses on the altar. A second later, a quivering
form, as white as the bride's own robes, crouched on the altar rail.
Overhead the wedding bells rang out merrily as the bridal party
turned from the altar and passed down the aisle. Suddenly a lithe form
dropped from the altar rail and, skimming across the floor, wavered
for· an instant in the aisle, then made a spring across the front pews
toward the window.
Oh, White Terror! Oh, infallible strategist! Could you not have
seen the great rosette of satin ribbon draped across the way, as white
as your own gleaming coat, or did the snowy streamers seem but
Lilliput strands, to be broken by your strength?
But the ribbons tangled about his feet and twisted about his body.
In his truggles a treacherous loop of satin tightened around his neck.
They tell yet how the White Terror was clutched by a dozen hands,
and was stifled with a twist of the satin band. The unsuspecting bride
and her half-frightened maids were in the vestibule then, and only
a few of the students had a war dance around their conquered foe.
But the white cat was stained with blood, for every hand that had
touched him was stained without mercy.
"What horrible claws!" exclaimed Charlie Hill. "See, Professor,
he has only ~wo nails .on the forefoot. He must have been caught in a
trap sometime."
The cat had met its fate in a silken snare, and swam with his fore-
fathers, if, ~s we have said, he had any, in preserving fluid, and his
eyes were given to Emily Kane to dissect. But Professor Harmon
actually shivered inwardly as he presented the finest subject ever under
the instruments in the laboratory. The end of the cat's tail hung from
a nail on the wall.
"We will keep it for a trophy," sa~d Charlie, "and at the end of
the year it can be presented to Professor Harmon."
Such an indignity could not be suffered by the cat, dead or alive,
J'H
unrevenged., Its tail cut off! Its tail hung on the wall for such a
purpose!
It was perhaps a month later when Miss Kane met Charlie one
night in the library. "Charlie," she said, "I left my Entomology in
the laboratory. Will you come with me to get it?"
"Lab's locked now," answered Charlie from the top of the ladder
in search of "Greenleaf."
"N0, it isn't. I was just there and the door is unlocked."
"Then why didn't you get your book?" he grumbled, descending.'
Miss Kane was rather pale.
"To tell the truth, Charlie," she said, "I'm afraid of the cat."
"What cat?" asked Charlie, thoughtlessly.
"The White Cat," laughing hysterically. "It was sitting up there
on the table and lashed its tail at me, and, Charlie, it didn't have any
eyes !"
"Oh, stuff!" said Charlie, roaring with laughter. "I'll go up and
gf·t the book and bring the kitty down, too-if it's there."
She ran up the stairs with him, but waited while he went on
aCf(l~S the dim corridor to the laboratory.
"Whew, how dark it is!" he muttered, pausing before the closed
door. From within came a soft, little sound like a kitten's call, but
Charlie, not caring to listen longer, flung open the door and peered into
the long, dimly lighted room. The next instant something struck him
in the chest. It felt large and soft, like a pillow; but he had no time
to investigate, for he was rolling down the stairs, past Emily Kane,
who clung to the banister in terror.
"Charlie, for Heaven's sake!" she gasped. He sat on the floor at
the foot of the stairs and rubbed his forehead.
"I tripped on the matting up there," he growled. "I guess I've
hurt my head."
Across his forehead, over his eyes,were two long red marks.
Professor Harmon noticed a lack of interest in some of his best
students. They seemed to be uneasy during the lecture period and to
welcome the hour of dismissal. Rose Dorry privately communicated
to Jack Ells that "The White Cat seemed to haunt Professor Hannon.
for sometimes he looked at that tail as if he expected to see it move."
"Oh, ho I" said Jack. "The beast was choked to death with a strip
of ribbon at Sibyl Grey's wedding and maybe the Professor's super-
stitious."
This could not have been true, for when' some of the girls who
had extra laboratory work one evening, came to him with a highly-
colored tale of a terrible wailing that seemed to come from the tank,
and the sound of scratching on the wall, he promptly laughed them
to scorn, and held them up to ridicule before the whole class. But
he cast a doubtful glance at the "trophy" on the wall and it seemed to
be bristling.
One evening before dinner he strolled up to the laboratory with
an armful of books. He whistled innocently as he came out. He
had a little, twisted paper parcel in his hand. He went down the
stairs, past the study rooms, 011 down to the basement, where the
great furnace roared and glowed. The fireman chatted with him for
a moment, then as he opened the door, to thrust in fresh fuel, Professor
Harmon flung in the little parcel he had carried in his hand. He did
not watch to see it burn. He turned instead and hastened away. It
seemed to him that all the way up the dark baserpent staris, some-
thing soft and fawning rubbed about his feet, and a glint of white
flashed back into the darkness. When the professor reached the top
of the stairs, he heard the wind blowing around the corner of the
building with a mournful wail.
"Jack," said Charlie the next day 111 the laboratory, "what's be-
come of old Terror's tail?"

In June.
How gaily my lilies shine white in the sun,
And nod to the wind that comes up from the sea!
How kindly they welcome the rovers, each one,
The ruby-crowned bird and the liveried bee!
They have jewels of gold on their stamens' slight tips;
The sculpturesque curve of their petals' clear line
Has the beauty and strength of Apollo's proud lips,
And their fragrance awakens like draughts of old wine.

A Legend 0/ Crater LaKe.
"
IGH up in the misty Cascades of Southern Oregon, Mt. Maza-
ma offers to the azure heavens the haunted waters of its hol-
lowed crest. Here Anna Creek, gushing from the slippery
hillside, winds its way into the Klamath Valley and by the gorgeous
beauty of its own canyon. Once these forests, lakes and streams held
in their rugged grandeur the now departed spirits of primeval nature.
From the cinder cone of Wizard Island looked forth Slao, the great
spirit of Crater Lake, while below in the watery arena huge serpents
played and fought together.
These weird features of mountain scenery have provided the
superstitious Redman with many legends, of which the following is
one:
From the southern Klamath Valley,
Deeply mourning wife and daughters,
Moody Kaput climbing, wandered
Toward these caged and haunted waters.
Out across the wild grass meadows,
Brooding, onward up the steep
Where flows Anna's gorgeous canyon,
And the woods lay locked in sleep;
Never noting whither went he,
But the spirit's kind behest
Drew him in his gloomy wand'rings
Straight unto Mazama's crest.
During all his saddened journey
Tasted neither bread nor meat,
But had eaten only wild herbs
As he plucked them from the steep.
Now he's reached the eastern border
Of the magic Crater Lake,
Sleeping in Mazama's bosom,
While the evening- shadows make
Strange and ghostly figures, dancing
On the rocks, and in the air,
Flitting, flying, airy spirits,
Fleeting phantoms everywhere.
Then it was that Slao took him,
•
Ralph Bacon.•
•
'"
Held him there for days and nights,
Skilled him in the laws of nature,
Taught him alI his mystic rites.
Then the Spirit bade him farewell;
Kaput, down the eastern steep
Traveled to the azure surface
Of the rock-imprisoned deep.
So, the mighty waters parted,
And withdrew the mammoth snake,
And between the waters towering,
Gleamed a pathway through the lake.
Straight he sought the western border
Where the cliffs rise steep and talI,
Up the perpendicular pathway,
Till he scaled the mighty wall.
Never paused to look behind him,
But with face and eyes aglow,
Pressed he forward to the valIey
Of his people far below.
Kaput, there before the firelight,
To his tribesmen told his tale,
And before their wondering senses
Works of magic did unveil.
Long he lived there with his people,
Healing sick with magic lore;
Greatest healer of the Redman,
And his like will be no more.
* * * * * * *
Still the lake lies weird and placid,
And the pale nocturnal E<Yht.
Casts its doleful spectral shadows
Through the trees that nestle tight,
Standing there in awe-struck clusters
As if dazed by inward fear;
Forced to spend the night in silence
'Mid those shadows strange and drear.
And the night winds sadly moaning
Chant, like oracles, the doom
Of the spirits now departed,
Wrapped forever in the gloom.

A Narrative of Freshie.
OUBTLESS if anyone had consulted the family Bible, heD would have found this youth christened as Herbert Adol-
ph. IS. But only from this source might one know, for the
boys called him Freshie! No other name was adequate
to characterize him. There never was a scrape in college
but he figured in it, but his fun was never of the malicious
sort; he was simply irrepressible. We don't know any-
thing of Freshie until he was a junior. What happened
then came about in this wise:
Early in the fall, just after college opened, Freshie
decided, and, mind you, it was a Sunday, too! to row up
the Race to the Point, put the boat into the river and come down the
rapids. For the sake of company, Freshie took one of the new stu-
dents,-a freshman who could row,-presumably to show him the
subtle beauties of our own secret-keeping mill-race. As it happened
others were out that day taking advantage of the warm sunshine. Just
where the rocky ridge juts out to hold in the old dam on one side, and
keep back the river on the other, there were two people, mother and
daughter, enjoying the warm sunlight pouring over the rocks. It must
have been along about five o'clock when these two espied in the river
above, another two. It seemed to them that one of the boys was trying
to work the boat out of the current, and, by and by, the fact forced
itself upon them that the efforts of the small boy were of no avail and
that the boat was caught in the current.
The river here pours over jagged boulders, and surges away
through a narrow channel, seething and swirling on past the old tan-
nery; it beats against its banks hungrily, it sucks at the jetty and
gnaws and gnaws at it in vexation; then it spreads out suddenly into
a deep, treacherous pool, as if to gain by insidious cunning what it
failed to get by tempestuous buffetings.· The scraggly trees hang fear-
fully on the edge, sadly watching the river bearing away their fallen
leaves. The river was full of logs, as it always is after the first rains.
The entire prospect was not a pleasing one to two boys in a boat. Tow
the boat came on swifter and swifter as it neared the rapids. Freshie
was very white. The large young man, he who was a freshman, was
unconcerned. The boat struck a log, then it swung round into the toss-
ing vortex of the river. Here two logs had been caught on a jutting
rock. On either side the current ran angrily over its uneven bed.
Th ~ girl saw that the boat would strike the logs stern foremost.
Freshie saw it, too. Crash! the frail craft stopped. Freshie jumped.
The boat swung down between two boulders into the calm pool below.
The phlc:gmatic youth in the boat laughed. Freshie sat still and white,
rnaroom d on the log. On one side was the water and rushing current;
on the l)ther was more water and more current. The girl and her
mother ;,at on the bank and sympathized. Then Freshie began to re-
move his shoes. The girl and her mother started for home, their
sympathies eclipsed by another wholly feminine sensation. Freshie sat
alone on the log, watching the retreating figures. All was quiet.
By and by the girl came back and sat down. The news traveled fast.
Others came and along about dark some one brought a rope to pull
Freshie off the log. "Get down on your knees, Freshie 1" some one
shouted, and then in the pale light of the rising moon, Freshie, shoe-
less, coatlt:ss, hatless, sought his knees, grasping for the rope tossed
to him. Eich time it fell short and cut the water with a hiss. The rope
could not mffice.
Down the river the girl noted moving shadows. The growing
moon made them vague and monstrous. But on they came, and soon
two men had waded hip deep out from the opposite shore, following
the ledge I)f rocks which here divides the channel. Their work was
dangerous and laborious. The spectators watched breathless. The girl
saw in one of the men the large form of the freshman. The men
worked their way through the rushing waters over slippery rocks, to
a log jam above and began to swing into the current. Just then a
cloud drif':ed across the moon and when it was light again Freshie was
gone, and way down the river under the shadows of the scraggy trees
were seen the vague forms of three men in a boat.
And ihis is all I know of Freshie's Sunday afternoon row, except
next day he came to Latin not the irrepressible Freshie, but a pale-
faced lad, awfully and mysteriously quiet.

A Study in Green.
Scene-Campus; University buildings in background. Two
seniors, in caps and gowns, sitting on the grass.
She, :tdly: "How pretty the hills are beyond the river. Spring
has touch(.d them with artistic brush. See the one next to the horizon;
it is such a beautiful vague green."
He: "A beautiful vague green? You are correct in your adjec-
tives alone, Harriet. The color is blue."
She: "Nonsense. J LlSt below the grey clouds and that strip of
'daffodil sky' the hill is dark and clearly green."
He, shaking his head: "Take away the bar of light and the grey
clouds. Look at the hills alone. Just beyond the river they are verd-
antly green. Higher, where I fancy there is a water-course, there is
the lavender of alder bushes. The hill above is blue."
She: "It is green. However, having only a man's conception of
color, you are excusable in thinking it blue."
He, liis debating spirit aroused: "It is green only by comparing
it with the sky above. Look at it alone and it is blue."
She: "I have looked at it alone. I had a velvet hat last season
the exact color of that hill and it was trimmed with violets. Would
I trim a blue velvet hat with violets? The hat was green."
He: "Do you see the field yonder, back of that white farm house?
That is green. Compare it with the hill."
She, stiffly: "There are many shades of green."
He, with a quizzical look at her: "Have you a pocket mirror?
That hill is the exact color of your eyes and they are-not green."
She, coldly: "I am sorry you find my opinion worthy of so little
respect. However, I must differ with you. The hill is green."
He: "It is the presence of other shades that misleads you. One
is very easily confused by a variety of colors. It is not exactly an
optical illusion-"
She, preparing to rise: "It is not, indeed."
He, with half-closed eyes fixed on her face: "Does it make any
particular difference to us what color it is, Harriet?"
She, haughtily: "As a matter of principle I will not have my con-
clusions lightly treated and considered of no value."
He: "So far as I can see, no reasonable person would take offense
at anything I have said."
She: "It must be wearisome, indeed, for you to talk so long with
an unreasonable person. I will leave you to recover." Walks dis-
dainfully away.
He, falling back on the grass: "Plague on the hills !"
The Old Mill-Race.
Why do I love these drooping boughs,
This willow-fringed watery aisle,
These woodland beauties that till now
Were but a weary, wasted wild?
Is it because one clear, spring night,
When Luna spread her carpet sheen,
And decked with stars the mill-race bright,
We drifted there 'twixt walls of green?
The bridges seemed decaying beams
Built for life's busy toiling feet;
The cat-tail growths mid watery gleams
Were weeds, scorched brown with summer's heat.
How could the gloom there underneath
Transform the bridge like magic spell;
How could one cat-tail plucked, bequeath
A charm to others nought can tell?
The banks did once but cast a shade
Where now the rarest ferns do grow,
The fitful breezes ripples made,
\i\Those breaking sounds are music now.
Is it because through leafy screen
Where ne'er a star could idly peer,
Your voice in music sweet, serene,
With plashing ripples mingled clear?

/In the Garden.
o Roses! my Roses, you glow in sun
And perfume the soft summer air,
Superb in perfection of beauty, each one
A Sovereign as haughty as fair.
Forgotten, long ages and ages ago,
The star-flowered briar from which you descend,
o multiflore Rose! for in Hellas we know
You. of pleasure the crown and of Eros the friend.
Rose Crimson, fit emblem of passion supreme,
Your splendor of color with feeling aglow;
Pink Roses, who blush in a happiest dream
And you whom love hopeless has paled into snow.
And amber-hued Blossoms of sunshine all made,
As warm as dear home-love, the tender and true,
I feel all your charm, as I sit in your shade,
But Roses, my Roses, I'm weary of you.
Long sheltered and nourished, and trained for delight,
Enshrined for the worship of all who may pass,
Your heart of pure gold is deep hidden from sight
By your silkel').-smooth petals' luxurious mass.
Those petals are curved like the eyelids that close;
Your fragrance is full of a Sybarite's dream,
Of indolent languor and slumb'rous repose,
Not flower but enchantress, half-human you seem.

"Falsehoocl mixed with goocl intention is preferable to truth tencl-
ing to excite strife." l just love that olcl Persian that saicl that, and
l guess Arthur cloes, too, from the way he always aclopts his counsel-
oh, l clon't mean that he's always falsehoocling, 'cause he isn't-not
quite always,-but l meant the special time when he triecl to give Al
a proper understanding of himself and his merits.
AlIie was· the prettiest boy,-a perfect cloll,-who hacl arrived at
the opening of the semester with the general influx of brain, brawn and
hot-air. (Al was mostly of the last.) He had macle a feeble but creclit-
able attempt to commence his college career, but the cluties were too
strenuous. Perhaps it was his poor health, p'r'aps 'twas because a
society man neecls lots of time.
If you only could have seen him! The dearest soft complexion, all
peaches-and-cream kind! Vou'd think he was just born to blush, but
he never did, that l saw, excepting once, when he saw Arthur the clay
after he,-but that's getting ahead of my story.
\VelI, then, he had the tenderest brown eyes, just sweet and be-
guiling, ancl he'cl turn the clark parts down into the corners of their
sockets so that the white would be all on the other side away from you,
and his dark sweeping lashes would flop so languidly, just like a fish's
tail in water, ancl he'cl look clown at the you so sweet, you coulcln't help
loving him. He was real talI, you know, with a little stoop, just enough
to make him interesting. Then his mouth,-I never in ail my life saw
157
such a divine mouth before, a perfect little Cupicl's bo\V, \Vith a teenty-
weenty little clroop on the sicles ancl a little s\Velling in the middle of
the upper lip, hanging clown,-oh! l can't tell just how.
Weil, for some reason or other Art didn't aclmire hil11 (Art's a\V-
fully queer), and he wantecl to teach him a lesson. About this time Al
was zealously hLtnting the acquaintance of a certain Ruth L--, of
whose pretty face he \Vas exceeclingly enal110recl, though not half so
mL1ch as he believed her to be of his. Thursclay Allie received a
dainty little note, signecl Ruth L., asking him to be on the corner of
Twelfth and High streets that evening at nine. Just imagine his de.-
light, till finally it dawnecl upon his quickly-perceptive mind that the
two Ruths could not be the same, as he was engaged to l11eet the other
at her home that evening. Delight gave way to misgiving, then to
curiosity. In an evil moment he confided his troubles to his friencl,
Matlock, who aclvised him to camply \Vith the note's request and go
see what \Vas in the affair. \Vell, \Voulcl you believe it,-Mat wouldn't
for a long til11e,-Allie persistently refused to run such a risk as he
thought impliecl therein. Mat thought 'twas an awful shame to let such
a promising venture go to waste, so he tolcl Mac, and they two decidecl
to go in Al's place. They arrived on the spot in time to see Allie beat-
ing a hasty retreat. They wantecl to laugh awfully, then, at his asser-
tions of indifference, but they let him go unmolested, in view of the
possible chance of their own sale.
1 Meanwhile, ail that lacing, tight shoes, wigs, hats, ciresses and
veils could do was being done for Arthur. Art made a hit last year in
"Ingomar, the Barbarian.·' The boys went wilcl over him, or rather
over "her," and so did every one. \Vell, the work \Vent on swiftly and
quietly, excepting the continued outbursts of merriment from his assist-
ing friends, and frequent cries from himself, such as "Jove, it's tight!
How can l breathe?" and "Hil11mel, there goes another string! A
shoe string, please; cow-hicle thong this til11e, l guess !"
But finally his toilet was complete ancl a young lady of surpassing
beauty and cliscomfort stood beforean aclmiring circle of friends. Her
clark brows were toyed with by bewitching curis of flaxen rope, and her
rcci lips ponted and smileci charming-ly from a mass of powcler. An
enormous black hat shaclecl her face, lencling more style than balance
to the heacl, and a blue veil softenecl the effect of the powder within.

The fonn was exquisite, ancl everything was perfect if only the hancls
woulcl moclestly stay in the pockets and the feet woulcl shyly refuse to
peep from uncler the gown. Loaclecl clown with good wishes ancl heavy
skirts, she at last salliecl forth to High street, in a hurry, since she was
late for her appointment.
Strolling along languiclly on one side of the street, she noticecl with
alarm that she was closely followed at every turn by two men on the
other sicle. This seemecl quite clifferent from meèting one pretty b0Y,
and she was just meditating precipitate flight when she saw that
~scape was impossible. Her two pursuers had separated at the cross-
walk, and now the enemy were closing in from the van and the rear.
\Vith heroic sacrifice she decided to put up with the inevitable, so
walked unconcernedly on till she came face to face with Matlock.
"Good evening," says ~i[at.
No reply but a haughty tilt of the head and an attempt to pass on.
Mat, a trifle disconcerted by this dignity, stepped aside with "1 beg
your pardon." But Mac, coming up from behind, was not content to
let it end so.
"Good evening," says Mac.
No reply.
"\Vhat's your hurry?"
"If you gentlemen will allow me to pass l shall proceed on my
way."
"Excuse me," answered Mac in a more polite tone. "We just
came to fill an engagement for another party who couldn't come. \Ve
thought you were the lady, and the other party wants to come to-mor-
row."
The bait almost c\id its worle Ruth wavered a moment only.
"There's some mistake," she said coldly, and tried to pass on.
But that moment's hesitation was enough to arouse suspicion again,
and venturesome Mac, flicking up her veil, grabbed her arm and shook
her, when lo! a white wig attachecl to a top-heavy black hat lay at his
feet! The ensuing scene was affecting-to one's mirthful elements.
Mac and Art had to lean Mat up against the fence for relief. However,
Art had found two valuable confederates, who told him the weak and
the strong points of his make-up, and promised to renew AI's curiosity
and retickle his vanity judiciously the next day.

w
The next evening came. Mac and Mat had represented the person
of the evening before in such glowing colors that AI, while recognizing
the special attention as his just due from every rational girl, still felt
sorne satisfaction in the way he alone had been selected and in the fact
that his two friends had been llnable to cut him out. However, profess-
ing no interest in admiration so common to him, he expressed his pur-
pose of going to dancing school instead. The boys, recalling a certain
retreating figure of the preceding evening, said nothing. To the dance
AI went, with Mat a close second. Mat stood guard at the door till he
saw AI start to leave. Then he ran down the street and shot through
the alleys and by-ways to warn the enemy to retire into ambush.
In the meanwhile excitement reigned supreme on Twelfth and
High. It's safe to say that for the last hour there hadn't been an alley-
opening or a gateway within a block in any direction unoccupied that
evening. Heads were anxiously bobbing out to see if developments had
begun. Arthur was pacing nervously up and down, up and down, try-
ing to decide whether the joke was on AI or Art. But, hark, a familiar
whistle is heard. The pacing is resumed, no less nervously, but more
coquettishly. The heads behind the fence-posts bob eagerly. The
crisis is coming.
"Oh! l'II have to do something," Art gasps. "Good, there's a
hole; 1'11 tumble in." And in he tumbles, and the crisis cornes at last.
The fence-posts heave a sigh of relief.
"Did you fall down?" says Al.
"No, of course not," in mock anger. "How can you be so foolish?
l just went down to ascertain the depth of the hole, of course."
"l'm sorry," very brilliantly. "Did you hurt yourself?"
"Yes, l'm afraid l sprained my ankle." Then, in terror lest AI
might offer to look at the injured member, "Oh, ifs ail right, l guess."
AI stood there just as awkward as anything, wondering what to
say, and then Providence smiled on him. A black cat popped out of
the fence.
"Kitty, kitty, pretty kitty," cooed AI's musical voice.
This broke the spell and Art laughingly said: "Weil, we can't
stand here ail evening."
"That's so," said AI. "Let's walk," and they straightway faced
about and walked. The cat followed.
160
UWhat did you say your name is?"
"Ruth Long," very innocently.
"Oh! Why, say, Ruth--"
"Pardon me,-Miss Long."
"Oh, ah, yes, of course, Miss Long;" then an effective pause for
several moments. At last, in despair, "Kitty, kitty, pretty kitty." The
cat unappreciatively sidled away.
Second cali for relief. "Do you like cats, Mr. S--?"
"Yes, but not as "vell as 1 do girls."
"Oh, now, Mr. S--" coyly; "As weil as you like boys?"
"Better. Boys aren't as good company as cats."
"Oh! that's why you cali this cat so often." Ruth swallowed a
laugh, and choked over it. AI didn't see the point, but he laughed
obligingly anyway. P'r'aps he thought it would hurt her feeling-s if he
didn't.
Then Ruth noticed AI's red rose in his buttonhole.
"Oh! what a pretty rose," she exclaimed.
A warm discussion followed. Ruth wanted the flower and AI
wouldn't give it to her 'cause the girl who gave it to him would be
very ~lgry. He said the girl thought a deuced lot of him. The Ruth
part looked sober; and pretended to be very much piqued, but the Arthur
part inside nearly died laughing and hugged itself with delight. You
see, Art, before he underwent this metamorphosis, had given it to AI
that afternoon.
\iVhile Ruth was trying to keep Art's laugh in, the conversation
(lied a natural death. AI fidgeted.
"Here kitty, kitty, nice kitty," broke in his melodious voice at last.
"Number three," says Art. "You seem to want good company
again ?"
"Ye-es," blankly. "Say, let's go boat-riding."
Arthur wondered if Allie could feel Ruth trembling on his arm.
Could he really kl10w and was he just waiting for a good chance?
"N0; it's too cold for boating."
"Cold nothing. Come on. 1 got the boat ready this afternoon.
Lots of cushions, you know; you'lI be warm enough."
But Art didn't propose to walk into a trap open-eyed, especially
161
vVhat class clid you say?"
Say, it's kincl of cool this
such a cold and watery one, so he trumped up a cold, and began to
cough now and then.
"Got a cold, haven't you ?"
"Yes. The climate, you know; it's hard on my throat. l've hacl
a cold ever since l came from Arizona. Notice how funny and deep it
makes my voice?" Then, aside: "That's a clever idea, if l forget my
falsetto." Alourl: "Do you attend the University here, Mr. S-, and
what class are you ?"
"Hem! Er-kitty, kitty, pretty kitty!"
"Number four. That cat is charitable.
"yVhy-er'--about freshman, l guess.
evening, isn't it?"
"Yes, a little.. How d'you like Professor --, and who has you
in history?"
"Oh! l sai, don't Iet's talk school. l rlon't like ta talk about it
outside."
"\iVhat, d'you mean you never talk about it?"
"Only in school hours. Hey. kitty, kitty. Here, let's turn down
here," turning rather precipitately.
Ruth saw in a second that he was just trying ta escape the next
street light. Then she remembered they hadn't gone under a single
light yet. Sa she macle a resolve. She began ta talk sa fast-and
funny, too-that he was kept on a regular gallop ta keep up with her,
and to a~oid the breaks that her quick-wittedness led him ta. Even the
omnipresent cat was forgotten under the stress of the moment, and
first thing you knew, there they were passin/{ under the light in front
of Mac's home. Just imagine! AI and Mat and lots more boys stayed
at his house, and of course Ruth knew there'd be an attentive throng on
hand. Sa clid AI know it-after he got there. No matter how loudly
Ruth talked, he could hear the rustle of grass and a perpetuai snicker.
The next place they got ta was the mill-race bridge. Then it was
Ruth's turn ta want ta swear. The way she did,-it was something like
playing "Pussy wants a corner," without the pusS. (The cat had
stopped down the street somewhere.) \iVhenever Al would be on one
side of the bridge Ruth would go on the other. Then he'd come over
to her side and she's just exchange. Guess he got tired of that pretty
saon, sa he suggested going ta the dance. Ruth nearly jumpecl with
162
delight, and consented with an alacrity that didn't seem just what he
expected. She led him off the bridge and had him half way to the
dance hall before he remembered that he couldn't very well go in his
old sweater. Ruth very wisely forgot that he had just come from there
in that self-same old sweater, and went back, after a little pouting.
vVhen they got back to less frequented streets Al got affectionate some
more. He demanded a kiss. Ruth said no. He insisted and Ruth, in
alarm, cried out, "No, Mr. S--, you shall not kiss me." Two boys
passing on the other side set up a whoop, and gave three cheers for
S--. He subsided in embarrassment, and, seeing his old friend fol-
lowing again, he called, "Kitty, kitty, kitty."
;;Goodnes~, l've lost count ! Let's say it's the last cali."
Weil, AI kept on getting spoonier, and Ruth deelared she was
going home. Allie, meek little Allie, became obstreperous and wouldn't
take her home. Ruth saiel she'd whistle for her brothers, who were
sure to be somewhere near, and Al decided to take her home. Ruth
only laughed and whistled. Mat and Mac stepped out from behincl a
tree across the street ancl came over. l guess Allie wished for the olel
cat then, his friend in neecl, but Art clidn't give him a chance to cali it.
"Here's this ML S-- l've been with for the last hour," he saicl in his
natural voice. Luckily for Al he was in the shaclow, but they could
guess at it when, after he'd been joshed a good deal, he rallied a little
and said in a shaking, rather doubtful voice, "Oh, fellows, you s'pose
l didn't know it? l knew who she was ail the time."
"vVho is she?" challenged lVlac.
"1t's, it's,-well-it's a boy," he stammerecl, as ,Art removed his
wig. He insisted he knew it wasn't a girl till Mac asked if that was the
reason he c1eanecl out the boat and filled it with cushions before going
out that evening. Al clicln't think it was 'necessary to answer such an
irrelevant question.
l coulcl tell lots more; how AI got so angry Mac had to take Art
home; how Al lay awake ail night planning how to prove he was next
ail the time, and then, after al1, decided 'twas best to keep still and
make friends with Art so that he wouldn't tel1; how Mat limped for
two days after, he was so sore from laughing. But ail that's left for
me ta cio is ta give my moral ancl quit.
Moral-Never fill the boat with cushions if you want people ta
think you're going ta cluel" your companion.

On the Steps.
ELL, l won't forgive you, and you needn't ask it again. l'veW said l wouldn't, ancl even if l wantecl to, l woulcln't cio
it now. l think it was mean of you, ancl nothing you can
say will change my mincl."
"Vith an air of great clignity, Dorothy startecl clown
the stairs, when she was stoppecl by a flying figure which
clartecl arouncl the corner.
"0 there you are! l've been looking for you ancl Dick
ail morning. "Vhen are we going ta have that committee
meeting? l can't stay at noon, but we've got to have it
toclay. The president says it can't be put off any longer."
"I hacl just been talking to Dorothy about having it at three
o'dock," said Dick with a slight smile at Dorothy. "Woulcl that suit
you ?"
"0, yeso But what is the matter with you? You surely coulcin't
have been quarreling over a committee meeting."
"We haven't been quarreling. \Vhat an iclea 1" answerecl Dorothy,
anxious to forestall any more questions. "VVe never quarre!. Two
more peaceful peoplè than we could scarcely be found in the whole
schoo!. VVe never fincl anything to quarrel about." In her efforts to
keep her secret she was getting hopelessly embarrassed.
Dick, ready to help her, but rather enjoying the situation, said:
"QuarreIing? \Vhy we were just talking about an economics qlliz, ancl
l guess we clicl feel rather bille."
Dorothy threw him a grateful glance and triecl to change the sllb-
ject. "What are you going to cio?" she said quickly.
"Do? Study, of course. Dicl you ever know me to clo anything
else? l'm always digging. ~1y brother says l study so harcl it makes
me cross. Maybe it's stuclying, but maybe it isn't. Weil, goocl-bye.
l've got to get my history before next hour." She disappeared around
the corner and they were alone again.
"That was very kind 'of YOU. l woulcl never have thought of tel1-
16 5
ing her it was a quiz. But we clicl look rather cross, clicln't we?"
Dorothy was beginning ta fecl sarry.
"Don't you believe you could forgive me novv? 1 told you 1 was
sarry, and 1 am sa anxious for you ta go ta the-"
"Hello! who's on the steps? l want ta st.ucly, ancl there is some
one every place l go."
"Weil, you can't stay here," muttered Dick, under his breath.
Dorothy was curious. She wanted ta know what Dick hacl started
ta say, sa she suggested: "You might go further up the steps. l think
there is no one on the second floor."
When she was gone Dick triecl to continue. ''l've been wanting to
ask you something for some tim~, but you woulcln't listen ta me. l
wish you woulcl forgive me and show me that you have forgiven me by
going ta the --"
"Hush! There cornes a teacher. l have a quiz ta him next hour
and if l don't know anything, he'll say l ought to have been studying.
What did you do with my book?"
"Here it is. Open it and look studious," whispered Dick, oblig-
ingly, and the professor with a kind ward passed on.
166
"If we're interrupted again 1'11 lose my temper," growled Dick.
"But as l've startecl to say a dozen times, l wish you wouldn't be so
hard on a fellow, and would let him make up for ail the shabby things
he's done. l want you to go to the Glee Club concert with me. Vou
won't be mean enough to refuse me now, will you?"
Dorothy didn't like to give in so soon, so with a hesitating look,
she answered: "1 suppose it would be rather mean to be angry yet,
especially after you've been so good, but-"
"Say, Dick, we fellows are going to have special football practice
this afternoon at four. Want every one to turn out, sure. Don't for-
get, because the big game comes off next Saturday and we've got to
train." The captain was in a hurry, but he stopped for a minute to say:
"Oh, Dorothy! Couldn't you get up a crowd of girls to come out and
help us along? lt does us lots of good to see the girls out there. Glad
to see you if you can come. You'lI see some pretty gooù playing today.
We play against the scrubs."
Just then the students began to come out of the class-rooms, and
Dorothy had only time to say, "1 guess l'Il go with you. Vou might
• come this evening and we'lI talk it over." E. M.} '04,
sThe Flowers of Other Days.
TUDYING botany in the early years of our University
seemed a natural consequence of its surroundings. One
could hardly walk through a floral garden day after- clay
from the time the furry coats of the pussy-willows were
first flecked with gold till the sweet-briar was in blool11,
without learning to love the wild flowers.
Perhaps you remember the day you strollecl clown to
the northwest corner of the campus when the early Feb-
ruary sunshine had started the frogs into a contented
chorus. The warm spring wind came gently from the
southwest,ancl a meaclow-Iark was perched on the topmost
twig of the tallest balm tree singing. 'Twas not so much the beauty of
his song that stirrecl the soul, as the exultant joy with which he faced
the future. But you had come for flowers, ancl here, shelterecl by a
clump of wild rose bushes, were three haH-open buds of Dentaria. Oh!
who can grow so olcl as to lose the strange thrill of joy the first whiff
of Dentaria fragrance brings in early February! And how clelicately
bright their half-folcled lavencler petais. Not enough for class-work
yet, but just enough to enjoy.
Later in the spring we stucliecl mechanics uncler the oaks; the
leaves were only showing a delicate green and we coulcl see the white,
fluffy douds sa:!ing across the clelicate twigs and sturcly branches. But
mechanics grew so tiresome. \iVhat hacl weights and levers and equilib-
rium to clo with the life of a young soul in spring? Down went the
book, left to the care of an inquisitive robin, ancl we strolled away over
the campus hunting wilcl flowers.
In walking from the old oaks towarcl the west, we founcl crow bills
growing everywhere. The beautiful Easter lilies were always tempting
us to gather just one more. Fuzzy catears, modest little Nemophelas
and strawberry blossoms were hiding in the grass, while near the foot
of the slope the ground was blue with the historic Inclian camas. Here
were two or three different kinds of buttcrcups, and an aquatic species
lived in a fine pond just west of the old stile, where its small white .

blossoms floated on the surface of the water. On the campus, too, one
could find wild morning glories, larkspurs, the spotted toad lilies, blue-
eyed veronicas, St. John's wort, and many other flowers ail blooming in
perfect freeclom in the days before the lawn. Then there were four or
five different Brocleas, one of them with milk-white bells, the others in
different shacles of lavender and purple. A fine group of the lavender
species used to bloom year after year in front of Deady hall, just for the
botany c1ass. And a few c1usters of the straw-colored Brodea, perhaps
the most delicately fascinating of ail, could be found in the west en<:i
of Dr. Patterson's yard uncler the fir trees.
Besicles the campus flowers, there usecl to be a clelightful walk be-
ginning northwest of Skinner's Butte ancl wincling eastwarcl along the
river. Here could be found rich c1umps of lady-slipper, and the beauti-
fui lilac-colored shushula, here the columbine bloomecl. Ancl if we
were tempted up among the firs of the butte, we coulcl fincl Trilliums
and the rich coral root orchid, ancl here grew the clelicate bells of
Prosartes. If we followecl along the river beyond the tannery, we
entered a fine grove of trees where Solomon's Seal grew in long pend-
ant sprays, often almost prost rate with the weight of its dense raceme of
creamy blossoms. Here, too, Aourished its clelicate star-like cousin, the
Stellata. But this woodsy retreat has long since drifted out to sea on
Willamette's floods.
Sometimes, too, there was an expedition up the mill-race. It might
be a gay party with several hoats, but two persons were ail that were
really necessary-just two, a strong-armed senior to row the boat, and
a bright-eyed junior to sit in the stern and steer the wrong way while
she watched for flowers along the rich green banks. Perhaps the early
moon had risen before they lancled at the bridge, and a red-winged
black-bird greeted them with his musical och-a-Iee-ah. But they carried
Calypsos from Judkin's Point, or yards of white Clematis founcl trail-
ing its starry blossoms in the race. There was meadow rue, maiden's
hair fern and blue Mertensia, and,-best of all,-they had c1iscovered
that botany was a delightful study.

A Strength Serene.
l see it ail, dear heart, as when we stood
In surging storm that bleak IvIarch day,
On yonder bridge and watched the Rood.·
You said, "No storm can last alway."
The rain-beat waters before me now again
In rhythmic swell go sweeping past ;
l hear the monotone of their refrain,
Like a deep bass beneath the blast.
The slender willows bending, swaying low, .
With sound of cIanking swords in strife;
The lofty pines moaning in the winds that blow-
Ali nature seemed to us to accord with life.
But yet, one lonely oak withstood the gale;
You pointed to its kingly mien,
That spoke repose and power that will not fail,
And symbolized a strength serene.
Your meaning, dear, in full, l now divine.
The storm has passed and in my heart
There reigns a calm and peace forever mine,
A peace that faith and trust impart.
This morning early toward the gate of heaven,
A robin poured its palpitating song.
To-day a golden crocus woke; and seven
Stars of Bethlehem, Pleiads, glistened in a throng.

Helen.
HE words came to Jack's ears through the high hedge back
T of the kitchen garden. He knew it to be little Ellie'svoice, and it was broken with sobs.
"Her tan't tel1 me no more stories, Dolly Dean," said
the child's voice, "'Cause her's .dyin'-Helen is."
That was ail, but the boy's heart leapecl to his throat
ancl there came a roaring in his ears that clrownecl the
childish sobs.
Helen dying? It could not be! True, he had seen
Dr. Dalen coming from her house a few clays before-
he thought at the time perhaps little Ellie was sick.
It coulcl not be! So young and strong when he hacl last seen her
a month ago. That clay they hacl quarrelecl, golfing. Pooh! it wasn't
a quarrel, a little difference like that! Gnly-he hacln't seen her since.
How he had missed her! But his pride had made it seem impossible to
meet her frankly as before that day.
They had been chilclren together. He remembered her as a curly-
headed mite sitting demurely across the aisle at school-as a bright
maiden with a strap of books-as a graceful young girl at college.
They had fought out Latin together. She hacl encouragecl him always.
He recalled, with a sudden knot in his throat, how when his
mother died, Helen had come to him with her beautiful eyes clark with
tears.
"1 am so sorry, Jack," was ail she said, but it helpecl to comfort him.
And now. He put up his hancl sucldenly to shut out the bright
spring sun, to shut out the sight of the violets by the heclge, to shut out
the thought of what the world would be without her presence.
Ali through his after life the breath of violets always brought back
that day to him, the first shock of his manhood, the first glimpse he had
into the clepths of his soul,-ancl a sense of desolation that he never
forgot.
The child's voice was still now. Perhaps the little maid had crien
17 1
herse1f ta sleep, grieving at the loss of that sweet eider sister passing
away forever.
Jack went softly around ta the door. How strangely still every-
thing was! How brightly shane the soft, spring sun! . J <ick choked
back the lump in his throat when he heard light steps within. A slender
girl, enveloped in an apron, came forward with a smile.
"Good morning, Jack," she said; "1 am dyeing my olel red jacket,
and it's going to turn out beautifully. Come in."
Sunshine and Mud.
It was one of those high, blue days that makes Oregon a Feb-
ruary paradise, ail the dearer because the shining angels of the
rain are sa soon to bar us out. They stood on a little rise and rejoiced
in the strong fresh air, the hurrying clouds, and the forty shades of
green that clothed the land, from the solemn masses of the fir-trees
ta the delicate new verdure of the grass, sa thinly disguising the
fiooding life that is ta work the miracle of spring.
"vVhat a beautiful day overhead," said the sophomore. "Yes,
indeed," said the junior, "but sa few of us' are going that way-'cept
you, that is." And to a practiced observer it would have seemed that
parts of the sky-line had melted together.
The Real Thing.
"One or t,vo surprises have jarred into the even tenor of my
short life," remarked the senior, "but the fates cannot touch my
serenity again, not if they use nitro-glycerine. l'm case-hardened,
shock-proof, insulated and isolated. It was quite disturbing that sum-
mer of the freshman vacation when l was trapping quail down on the
ranch. Came along after sunset and stuck my fool fist into the cage
expecting ta feel the feathers and fiutters of some innocent but greedy
game-bird. Instead of that a nine-button rattler whirred in the dark-
ness and sunk two red-hot teeth into me. No, it wasn't fatal, save ta
the snake. Had the contrary experience last year, when l proposed
to a girl in our junior c1ass. She might have said 'yes.' But these
trifies are over, and 1'11 face life with an unwrinkled brow. The old
man gave us a section of calculus for tomorrow that we can get in
seven hours. Said he realized we had other work ta do."

The Point of View.
1.
OOD heavens, man, do you expect me to eat that fearfulG mess? On your "vay, do you hear, ancl tell that limb of
Satan in the kitchen to take a brace!"
Speechless, the c1arky gatherecl up·a trayful of un-
touched dishes ancl started ruefully to the end of the car.
Hastings, Beta Chi, Stanford naughty-odd, settling his
recl tie with an impatient hancl and hitching his upturned
trousers farther above his low shoes, began to stare out
of the window.
"Weil," he said to himself, "1 can make up for this
when we hit 'Frisco. l'cl as soon eat at the Inn as live on
a c1iner! Now, why in blazes are we stopping here?"
The leather seat creakecl as he bouncecl around to peer out. It was
some !ittle Southern Oregon hillsicle settlement, principally composed of
gray-green station buildings and recl section houses, on which the
ll10rning sun beat down through a coppery haze of August smoke. An
engine bumpecl along the sicletrack and began to take on woocl, stick by
stick, after the leisurely manner of way freights.
The fireman and a couple of helpers began to toss on the heavy,
splintering chunks. The engineer prowled about the cylinclers with a
long oiler.
Hastings found 'himself watching the men on the wood platforms.
There was an easy swing about the movements of one of them that
seemecl to inclicate the athlete; he wore no gloves, ancl his hat was a
batterecl antique; in fact he'was unusually shabby, even for a freight
brakeman-nevertheless, he worked with admirable grace and precision.
"Shoulclers like 'Skate' Thompson," thought the Stanforclite.
"\Vhat a man for the team!" The fellow's hair was black, and it kinkecl
delightfully; there were, moreover, gOQd-humored curves about the
dean-eut mouth, visible even through the soot, tan and two weeks'
bearcl that darkened his skin.
173
"Is that fellow a brakeman, Sam ?" The waiter had come back
heavy laden, and glanced careIessly out of the window, just as the two
trains started to pull out.
"Man wif holes in his hat? No, sah!"
"What's he doing there, then?"
"Yo' see him gettin' down in de cab? Hobo pitchin' wood fo' a
ride-dat's aIl!" The colored aristocrat sniffed and contemptuously
deposited his load.
"WeIl, there are worse things than breakfast in a diner, poor devil !"
thought Hastings, Stanford naugl~ty-odd.

"PoIly, you're the only redeeming feature! 1 wanted to stay in
'Frisco this Christmas, but the pater wouldn't stand for it. l've posi-
tively taken root in Portland-dampness favorable to vegetation, you
know!"
"Ted Hastings! You're mean!" His cousin, Miss Seymour,
flashed her shoulders into a cloud of black lace and pouted.
"Oh, Polly, 1 didn't mean any disparagement, but you are from
Eugene, and how should you know what loads of fun are doing now in
'Frisco ?"
She facecl him with eyes snapping. The lace fell to the Aoor.
"Look here, Ted, if 1 guarantee you a good time, a la Eugene, will
you be nice?"
"What is it?"
"Don't ask-just promise!" she begged, and she was dangerously
pretty.
"WeIl, perhaps; what is it?"
"Come with me to our Glee Club concert at the Marquam tonight t"
"Polly!"
"You must, now-reaIly, it won't ruin you, Ted. Run along,
spoiled baby!"
They were late-a little. The carriage drew up before an empty
lobby, and the rousing chorus behind the foyer doors was softened by
the distance. Polly hated to go in, but she had inveigled her cousin into
it, and wouldn't cIraw back. Tecl got seats far down toward the front,
and they went in, PoIly's head a !ittle too high and Ted's demeanor a
174
little too reluctant. The chorus ended as they found their seats, and
after the applause people about them lookecl and buzzed. Ted's ears
reddened.
"You've put an awful chap on me by bringing me here," he whis-
pered, discontentedly.
"You are very complimentary-one wouId think you were
ashamed-"
She broke off as a soloist rose and came to the foot-lights. The
hush before the song was intense. Polly was looking at the stage; Ted
glared at the floor. She had forgotten him. '
As the pure, rich baritone throbbed out in the wHd beauty of the
"Bedouin Love Song," with little Frazer's piano singing it in unison.
Ted's eyes wanclered to the empty orchestra, then ta the footlights, then
to the man who sang.
He started, caught Polly's arm, looked again-
175
"No, it can't be," he whispered, more to himself than to her. Al-
most angrily she shook off his hand and listened.
The song beat on, and swelled to the last note of infinite tender
passion, hands applauded-all but Polly's-she sat very quietly, lips
apart, with a somber starlight in her eyes that Ted had never seen be-
fore. The baritone saw it, too, and smiled to her across the footlights
as he bowed-and he sang the repeated verse for her-for her alone.
She knew, but so did Ted; and he watched the broad-shouldered,
erect, immaculate figure closely. Polly looked around, rosy, but on her
guard, and wondered if it would be raining after the concert. Ted's
eyes left the singer at his seat, and looked around straight into PoUy's.
"eut that out, cousin mine-who is he, and where from?"
"Who?" artless innocence!
"The singer. Tell me that, you can 'fess later."
"Johnnie-lVIr. Gray? "Vhy, from Ashland-crack hurdler-foot-
.:~.
bail man-ever so popular, Ted, he's working his way through school."
"People poor?"
"Awfully-he fights so hard!"
"Does he ever work on the railroad?"
"Oh, yes, he's worked his way up from home and back three
times now, on freight trains. But why-"
Ted thanked his stars for Frazer's solo that came just then.
* * * * * * * * * *
"So you truly liked the concert?"
"Immensely, little girl."
"And-John ?"
"He sings beautifully."
"Yes ?".
"He is handsome-"
"Is that . . . ail?"
"And a splendid man, to juèlge from-"
"0, Teddy, l'm so glad you Iike him! I-"
"What?"
Polly tiptoed to kiss her cousin good-night, then Rea to the stair-
way. Leaning over the banister, she held out a dimpled hand. An
inexpensive little golcl love-knot circled the third finger.
"Don't tell-that's-his ring!"
She vanished.
Edward Hastings, Beta Chi, Stanford naughty-ocld, sat clown in
the library and smoked very many cigarettes and reflected--on breadth
of shoulders, and breadth of minci, ancl things. His thoughts contrasted
the magnificence of the great Quad with the few Iittle buildings at Eu-
gene. He pictured a roystering crowcl of wealthy frat. men running
wild in San Francisco--himself among them-then he saw the tramp
pitching wood to earn his way.
A figure crept up behind his chair, somebocly wrapped in a white
kimona whispered, "Are you angry, Teddy?"
He dicl not hear her, and starecl on into the fire.
"Lucky devill" was ail she heard. R. F., '03.
Hegel and Bah.ounin.
Weil worth recording is the hap today.
Bakounin, since his death, has liberty
To range as free and nauseous as smoke
From each to each of Hell's confines. 'Tis known
He was but Satan's shadow cast on earth',
Made palpable, the Anarch's voice to men,
Therefore, he has his wish, Hell's license, here.
But Hegel, soul of patient order, toils,
Burdened with chains whose links are mountains, ever
Ta do the task that Satan lays on him,
To make an habitable world of Hell ;
Shakes not his shackles, but grows thereunto,
TiII they begin to fit him as a coat
Light and of g-auze, and still he mighty grow~,
Liker that God of order and of Iight
"'/hom he embodied dimly upon earth,
Till in despite of ail Hell's adamant
He'lI presently c1iscard this sooty mail
And spring ta Heaven. But why babble thus
What every denizen of darkness knows.
Taunts hurled Bakounin at the slave today,
And tempted him ta seek escape from chains,
Escape that were away from Heaven. Him
Sternly the sage rebuked, and spun the wheel
Of three sun's orbits which doth clear the pit
Of aIl the sulphury chaos fiends enkindle.
178
Then spake Beelzebub: this task perform;
Theu, Hegel, tl1rn a verse to voice thy faith,
Anel thou, Bakounin, as thou lovest night
U pholel the reign of chaos in bolel lines.
To whom Bakounin:
Restraint is the raot of ail that is sinfui anel hatefl1l,
What might men not be
Were it not for the laws of Goel for which the priests biel them
be grateful,
Anel the laws of men, the stem of that tree!
A hunelreel ages have built up a worlel of society,
What is it but a prison-house?
Destray it! Tear e10wn the walls of morality
Anellet the soul of humanity seek Freeelom, its sponse.
Set loose the vast giant mankinel from the fetters of custom anel
legend,
Break the neck of that bottle he's sealed in,
Then mark his expansion like smoke from the cannon that raar
by the thousand preparing the siege end,
At a bounel he'l1 fill his set-for-a-cycle's achievement's field in.
To whom, as he spake with outbursting, unhuman raar,
Hell's hollows re-echoeel a howling of horrid applause
Which rumbleel yet by the utmost Stygian shore
'YVhile Hegel replieel, and drew to a quiet pause:
The river, you wou lei say, shoulel rush unelammeel,
The ox anel horse know not the yoke or bit,
Yes, Pegasus himself uncurbeel shoulel Ait
From dusk to dusk, and feel no guiding hanel,
The apple should in thorny sourness stand
Untraineel, and chief, no human soul should sit
At ancient wisdom's feet to learn what's fit
To do, or leave undone, from old commando
Rash rebel! hast thou missed the secret, then?
Ourselves we shape not, man no more than horse,
But are to selfhood urged against our will,
Torn from our paltry wildness, taught by force
A task above our knowledge to fulfill.
And, goaded upward, thus graw tntly men.
Herbert Crombie H muc.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPH SY LEE MOOREHOUSE, PENOL ETON
The Red Man's Soliloquy.
Bleed on, poor heart,
Bleed on and ache;
Who cares if you throb or die?
Who cares if your SOlH is bathed in tears?
\Vho cares if you hunger or sigh?
If the blood of hope, poor spirit,
Is cold within your breast,
. Like the grim, relentless lava
Of the rock on which you rest,
Who cares?
Rush on, wild waves,
Rush on and dash,
Do these rocks swerve for you?
Does the sky grow dim when you curse at him,
Do the hills list what you do?
Ah, sa am 1, mad river,
Sa does my hate seethe on,
But l am wom in the battle
And only 111Y strength is gone.

Senior Distinctions.
In these days of senior caps and gowns, the similarity in appear-
ance of the various individuals has become most perplexing, As a
preventative of embarrassing situations, therefore, we suggest sorne
characteristics by which the seniors may be distinguished from one
another. Apply the formulas.

The Test of Scholarship.
FTER one has registered in a subject and manifested aA more or less intermittent interest through the dreary
hours of lecture, recitation and quiz, he is apt to find
himself confronting some malign arrangements known
as examinations. Y. M. C. A.-ers, people who have
contracted the habit of looking up references, and sorne
others, have peculiar methods of getting through such
crises, but this paper is intended to suggest ways and
means to the average student. It is obvious that help
must be obtained either before, during or immediately
after the actual conflict, and either single-handed or in
collusion.
The most satisfactory procedure is to obtain the questions before
hand, and then to prepare for the examinations on almost identical
lines. This plan is of much difficuity, involving access to the pro-
fessor's study and possession of the needed keys, etc., hence it is con-
fined to the masterfully few, by whom sorne brilliant successes have
been scored. Such operations are ail the safer from their very bold-
ness, as the inquisitor is then usually unsuspicious, confining his
watchfulness to the period of trial. The masterly strategy is to take
your opponent unaware.
If ail preliminary attempts fail, the student may fall back on
the world-old device of concealed aids. The simplest and most brutal
is to place the text in sorne unobtrusive yet helpful spot (as under
your coat), thus getting the required knowledge at first hand. This
results in a happy accuracy of scholarship, but cannot be recom-
mended, as the strain on eyes and nerves is very wearing. Abstracts
or notes may be taken in, on suitable paper, cuffs, etc., thus obviating
mental friction and reducing an otherwise distressing function to a
test of skill in deciphering' and copying. These methods are, however,
ail so old and well-known, as to necessitate the utmost circumspection
on the part of the user.
Help from classmates is not to be relied on, unless definitely ar-
ranged before hanc1 and divisions of the subject assjgned. The ob-
jections are two: study is inevitable, and commlKlication is· easy of
detection. With the collusion of outsiders any inventive collegian can
devise his own system of amelioration to meet the specifie exigencies
of place and time. A seat by door or window may be made to yield
valuable results while the authorities are otherwise engaged. A COI)Y
of the questions may be handed the messenger boy who brings the
expected telegram, and the needed information may be brought to
hand an hour or so later by a second friend who seeks an interview on
college or other business. This is the artistic plan, and, if confidently
carried out, may be adapted to almost any environment.
But even if ail these shifts fail, our intellectual Ulysses need not
despair. He may still rely on fulfillment by substitution.. Let him sit
composedly an hour or two and scrawl over several sheets with an
account of the latest footballgame, the merits of his favorite professor
or any other timely topic. Having turned in this composition he can
then repair to his room with a light healt, a copy of the questions and
a supply of the orthodox paper. Here, in privacy, and under condi-
tions more favorable to scholarship than the noisy, crowded recitation
room, our student may turn out a paper fairly representative of his
ability. He must, of course, have access to the professor's desk, that
he may be able to effect the necessary exchange at once. This plan.
is of known and tried merit among the scholastic elite. Failure here
leaves only the grosser methods of direct tampering with the records,
a procedure which cannot be too strongly condemned as clumsy, dan-
gerous and dishol1orable.
Finally, the importance of this much-neglected topic of circumlo-
cuting scholarship is urged upon the attention of ail thoughtful col-
legians. With the other aids in language and composition now offered
by enterprising publishers, a college course can thus be made to
yield ample time for social, competitive and other duties. The indi-
vidual's further gains in keenness, self reliance, etc., are too obvious
to mention. The professor is relievec1 of the sac1ness and di stress
consequent upon the discovery that his sowings have failed to take
root in the minc1s of his putative auditors. The most untowarc1 sign
in American education is the tendency to frown clown the practice
herein set forth.

How It Happened.
A bunch of Dormitory boys who didn't care to dig
Found out a prof. was there one night-the plan they formed was big!
While he was busy in the room they stole along the Roor
And tied a radiator fast to that unlucky door.
The hour was late, the night was damp, the prof. was sleepy, too;
He placed his hand upon the knob, and said, "Mein frienc1, adieu"-
The door refused to open at so tender a caress,
So he twisted on the knob again, with not much gentleness.
And then he fell a-knocking, and he knpcked with might and main-
Till a voice said, "You're a knocker-)'ou give studious guys a pain!"
lt is saic1 a sudden fury seemed to seize upon him then;
And the words he chose to utter woulc1 if written break the pen-
For the room was shortly kalsomined a brilliant azure hue,
And e'en the other fellow there began to look quite blue!
The knocks became bombardments-the culprits muttered "cinch!"
A panel went-a hinge came off-it didn't budge an inch!
With a howl of rage he charged it, hands and feet and maybe heacl,
Ancl he lancled in the hallway, right sicle up, but nearly dead.
* * * * * * * * * *
As the Dorm push slowly gathered, rubbing study from their eyes,
So the man who broke the door down rubbecl his head, in mild sur-
prise-
Ga7ing on the devastation he had scattered ail arouncl-
He remarkecl, "l'm very sorry clat de
door
broke
down!"

'Twas April and the sun was bright;

V/ho loved hùn too and ail was weil.
The poet penned a lightsome song,
But cut it short ere it was long. ,
"0 April with your blooming fiowers,
You come with sun, you come with showers;
With tears you fill the blossoms up,
The lily's tender chalice cup;
"YVith radiance bright you smile anew
Till ail the world seems smiling too."
But April came around again
With changing days of sun and rain.
The girl he loved last April's 1110rn,
Had left that poet ail forlorn.
His soul was crushed with grief and pain,
And so he sang a different strain:
"0 April with yom rain and shine.

Made up of sl11iles and bitter tears;

Microscopy In Education.
During the examination period not long past, material was af-
forded for very unL1sual and instructive research in the abnormal
histology of the brain, by the decease of three students from over-
examination. Through the courtesy of the surgeon performing the
autopsies, special investigators from the "Webfoot" staff were enabled
to secure materiai for the following PTeparations:
This is a section of part
of the hypothetical lobe of
the pons asinorum, from
the brain of a student of
Ostwald's "Foundations of
Analytical Chemistry. Tt
affords an invaluable proof
of the absolute truth of the
theories enunciated in that
immortal work. The brain
substance is seen to be
totally liquefied and trans-
parent, but at the magni-
fication of all the figures,
6500 diameters, small round
bodies are to be noticed,
which are the "ions" of
Ostwald. The tissue was
luckily sectioned and
mounted just as the process
of analytical dissociation
induced by over-examina-
tion was affecting the
brain, and the "ions," in
various stages of combination, are beautifully evident.
'--
----=-
A similar wasting of the brain tissue is evident in the next prepara-
tion, a section made from the sadly atrophied and withered bump of
• 221
reverence in the brain of an unfortunate student in the biology depart-
ment. As will be seen,
nothing is left but the use-
less connective-tissue retic-
ulum-the brain cel1s hav-
ing been ruthlessly devour-
ed and destroyed by the
huge parasite so beautiful1y
shown in the center of the
field. This organism, armed
as it is with insidious wea-
pons of offense, and pro-
vided with a large number
of feather-like cilia or. its
hinder limbs, is known as
Washburnia bialagica, and
is frequently accompanied
by the smal1 organism seen
to the right. Students in
the biology department
have frequently reported
the observation of this par-
asite with the unaided eye.
Of late, however, no fur-
ther cases have been re-
corded in this vicinity, and we trust that the recent appearance of
similar afflictions in Minnesota may prove the theory that this organism
is migratory, and that we are no longer endangered by its attacks.
The last, and by far the most impressive example of mental decay,
is a section from the lamina rhetorica, immediately posterior to the
corpus anglico-linguale, in· the crammed and overcrowded brain of a
student of Sophomore rhetoric.
222
The tendency here is evi-
dently the graduaI exclu-
sion and effacement of the
normal brain-cells by the
encroachment of innumera-
ble tiny organisms, as yet
unidentified, which tend to
take the shape of various
letters of the Roman alpha-
bet, and in certain localities
are largely aggregated or
thickened, producing the
effect of continuous lines.
The investigation of the de-
velopment and classification
of this singularly obnoxious
and deadly organism is a
broad field for original
workers along the line of
abnormal histology; and
we would suggest as a basis
for future work that they
first of ail determine what
possible use or aid to the
unfortunate victim could be found in snch an
though more or less voluntary supersatnration
traneous organisms.

AP- PLE BLOS-SOMS.
Roy was a good lit-tle lad. He told Lou he would
bring her sorne pret-ty flow-ers. She said, "Oh, how
nice 1 Run, koy, run 1"
Roy ran home and climbed a tree. It was an ap-ple
tree. The blos-soms were pink and white. Roy plucked
sorne fme, large twigs, and laid them on the ground.
Then he went a-way.
Lit-tle May knew Roy and Lou. She knew Roy liked
Lou, She passed by the tree, and saw the pret-ty
flow-ers. .
"Those are for Lou," said May, "1 will take them and
say Roy sent me."
Was not May naught-y?
O-ver the fence she went, and got the blos-soms.
Then she took them ta Lou.
Lou was ver-y hap-py; but she would have been more
hap-py had Roy come.
Aw-ful-Iy hap-py!
Roy went ta see Lou.

Oh, no.
Then Lou thanked Roy for send-ing them. Did Roy
rage?
Not at ail.
May was Iis-ten-ing.

Then Roy knew who had done it. Did Roy swear?
No, Roy was a good lit-tle lad.

LIT-TLE ALF AND HIS BIRTH-DAY CAKE.
Lit-tle Alf had a birth·day.
His mam·ma made him a cake. Was she not kind?
It was a large cake. It had nuts in it. How hap-py Alf
should have beenl
But he was a greed-y boy. He hid it in his tie box.
A tiebox is not a good place for a birth·day cake. He
should have giv-en his friends a par·ty.
Pret·ty May was his friend.
May lik·ed cake, but she had no birth·day. Girls do
not of·ten have birth-days.
Hal and Em·my and Lou weresor·ry for poor May.
What did they do?
Hal got the cake and took it to Em· my and Lou. He
put an Or-e·gon Week·ly round it to keep it dry. He ran
ver·y fast to Em-my and Lou.
Did they eat the cake? Oh, no! It was ail for May.
They took it to her and did not wait for thanks.
Alfwent to see May. He had done this be fore. He
told her how his birth-day cake was gone. Then May
gave the cake back to Alf.
Was he glad?
He cried for joy.
Then Hal and Em·my and Lou came to give Alf a sur-
prise. They knew where to find him.
Were May and Alf glad to see them? They lock-ed the
door. Did they let them in? Yeso They would not go
a·way.
Did Hal and Em-my and Lou get an-y cake? Oh, yeso
May and Alf want-ed them to go home.
Did they go? The sil·ence made them sleep-y and
they went home.
"A Youth to Fortune and to Fame Unhnown."
Young Si Pumpkin came up from Squash Haller,
(He'd decided ta be a great scholar),
And he offered ta bet his last dollar
That he'd graduate here \Vith high honor.
That-in Calculus or Analytics
Mechanics, e'en, or Graphie Statics,
Or i' fact any mathematics-
He'd never meet his Appomatox.
As for Lit., 'twas simply fun-
Anc! he swore by his Genung-
In translating Aurelia's son
He couIc! easily beat-well-Dl1nn !
This, my friends, you must remember,
V'las \vay long in last September,
Now his thoughts are like December-
And, expressed, "1 cton't remember."

Yours respecfiIly,
Caleb CIoverpatch.
Eugene, OL, Jan. 12, 1902.
Mr. Caleb Cloverpatch, Cougar Creck, Oregon-
Dear Sir: As the president of this university was a little rushed
the day he received yom letter (it was one of his busy days), he just
asked me to give him a lift with his correspondence, and l write at
once to give you the information you desire.
You know some people can draw a crowd by talking, and again,
some can't. For this latter c1ass societics have been established. where
the members agree to listen to each other once a week. The Philologian
is one of these societies.
There are about thirty-five members of the Philolog'ian Literary
Society, two of which have paid their dues this year. (You see, every
member has ta pay dues,-except the treasurer.) The attenclance
varies from three upwards. The president, secretary and censor are
usually there, but on election night there is aways a good attendance.
The program begins \Vith three little taps of the president's mal-
let, upon which the secretar)' calls the roll, and the censor responcls
with a quotation. If there is a visitor present the president appoints
the censor sergeant-at-arms to preserve orcier, and then clelivers an
aclclress of welcome to the visitor. The censor's report is then callecl
for ancl the meeting acljourns.
But on election night there is most always a clebate. Each speaker
has eight minutes aIl to himself. If he makes a point, the secretary
334
records a fine of twenty-five cents. (No fines have been recorded for
three years.) Then the question is open to the house, and candidates
for office speak on "the duties we owe our Iiterary societies."
Occasionally, the president invites some one from outside the so-
ciety to give a prepared address. Then the number present is some-
what increàsed-the increase being dependent upon the size of the lec-
turer's family.
The Philologians who have gone out from these halls have taken
up work in many avenues of life's activities. More members have
gone into the ministry than any other profes:<ion,-a few have gone
into the penitentiary. Wherever you find a Philologian, be he in the
ministry or penitentiary, or any other institution, you will find a talker.
l am sure whichever profession you are going to follow you will
receive great benefit from this training.
Hoping to weIcome you soon as an enthusiastic Philologian, l re-
main, very truly,
P. S.-You know you have to pay your dues right away when )'ou
join. Don't forget.
N. B.-Oh, the fellows aren 't so bad. You have to watch out a
little for the sergeant-at-arms, but then he'lI turn out aIl right when
he gets his wild oats sown, you know.
Tapferh.eit.
Es war ein pretty Maedchen,

Ach, viel erschreckt was she!

Ein braver Mann war Atkinson-
Though klein, doch stark and finn-
Er brachte schnell das Chloroform
