A LOST AND FOUND BRUNONIAN POET SANDS GRANT COLE, WHO CHOSE KING PHILIP FOR EPIC CELEBRATION Among those whom Brown University graduated in 1825 — the class of George Ware Briggs, George Gordon King, George Washington Patten, Barnas Sears and other famous men — there are several whose names stand upon our records with no indication of their after careers. The first of these in alpha- betical order is Sands Grant Cole, of whom we have known only what was known when he was in college, that he came from Stonington, Conn. But now, after ninety years from the date of his entrance to college, there has come to the university not only some account of his short life, but also a poem wdiich he read to his classmates in the year of their graduation, and a letter to his father. A short time ago Mr. Nathan S. Carr of Ashaway in this state, in looking over a drawer containing papers left by his father, the late Sands Cole Carr, found the poem that has just been referred to. He knew nothing of its authorship or history; but its finding led to inquiry, and the following facts, for which we are indebted to JMessrs. Edward G. Cundall and Eugene B. Pendleton of Westerly, have been brought to liHit : Sands Grant Cole, the son of Sands Cole and his first wife, Esther Grant Cole, was born at Stonington, in the sec- tion now known as North Stonington, Conn., July 31, 1800. After graduating from Brown in 1825 he taught school, presumably in Detroit, Mioh., where he died Sept. 29, 1827, and was buried. His sister Susan married Sands Cole Carr, and it was she who preserved his class poem. Another sister, Phebe, married Nathan Pendleton. He was also related to the family of the former State Sena- tor John S. Cole of Hopkinton. ]\Ir. Cole's class poem, which extends to nearly three hundred lines, is of un- even merit, and is obviously the w^ork of one who was a sojourner rather than a dweller on Parnassus. Though passa- ble, it is not always parsable. But in view of its occasion and its remarkable preservation and discovery, as well as its real merits, the poem seems worthy of presentation to the Brunonians of this distant day. -The letter above mentioned is appended to the poem. The whole poem is preserved in the Harris Collec- tion at the Universitv Librarv. MOUNT HOPE AND THE DEATH OF PHILIP A Poem delivered before the Senior Class of Brown University at Mount Hope April 29, 1825 Oh Hope, who e'er at early dawn hath been Thy mountain crags and solitude around, Hath gazed upon as lovely sight, I ween, As e'er a summer's morning smiled upon. Whilst enriched with deeds of former days. And calmly brightening in the sunny rays. Then towers the Sachem's throne with time grown gray. Where rose the death song on the midnight gale, Where prayers were breathed and tears were shed in vain, Where to the stake was bound the victim pale, Where dying forms lay quivering on the plain. And blood gushed out like showers of wintry rain. Now lightsome hearts and smiling fronts ap- pear, Brisk song and laughter peal their evening strain, A band of kindred souls in friendship dear Are met in festive hour for warm and kindly cheer. Oh Hope, within thy mountain scenery yet All we admire of nature in her wild And frolic hour of infancy hath met, And never hath a summer's morning smiled Upon a lovelier scene than the full eye Of the enthusiast revels on when high Among thy forest solitude he climbs O'er crag that proudly towers above the deep, Nor knows that sense of danger, that sublime, That breathless moment, when his daring step Is on the verge of the cliff and he can hear The low da-^h of the waves with startled ear. In such an hour he turns, and on his view THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 87 Ocean and earth and heaven burst before him, Clouds slumbering- in the heavens and the clear blue Of summer's sky in beauty bending o'er him, The city bright belov^', and far away Sparkling in golden light his own romantic bay — Tall spire and glittering roof and battlement And banners floating in the sunny air And white sails o'er the calm blue waters bent, Green isle and circling shore are blending there In wild reality. — When life is old And many a scene forgot, the mind will hold Its memory of this ; nor lives there one Whose infant breath was drawn or boyhood's days Of happiness were passed these climes among. That in his manhood prime can calmly gaze Upon that bay, or on this mountain stand. Nor feel the prouder of his native land. 'Tis nleasant on thy towering top to tread And gaze upon the soft and vernal sky. I seem to wander 'mong the far-famed dead. And lost in contemplation cast my eye On scenes in cold remembrance long gone by, Which round this staff have wove a magic spell When thro' thick forests rung the battle cry. When prowling panthers wandered in the dell, And Hope's tall cliffs sent back the distant Indian yell, Or cast a glance adown the stream of time. When superstition lit her flames afar. When the stern pilgrim sought this western clime. Led by the light of freedom's guiding star. Their eyes on heaven, their weapons faith and prayer, On Plymouth's rock they stood, a fearless band, Pouring their blood in every hostile war. Yet cast a sigh towards their native land, And often breathed a wish for merry England. All powerful time, beneath thy giant hand Man falls and crumbles all his deeds of pride Like figures drawn upon the baseless sand. When o'er them comes the ocean's whelming tide. Nor shall the heavens themselves thy course abide. But like a gathered scroll shall pass away; Like bubbles on the darksome deep that ride. Or like the foaming torrent's lightsome spray. A nation comes and goes — the wonder of a day. Perchance that cities here have rose and fell. And sages toiled and godlike heroes bled ; Beneath the crush of stouter hearts they fell, And these rich vales are peopled with their dead, And o'er their dust the mindless rustics tread. Perished alike their greatness and their woes, Oblivion's pall is o'er their story spread. Time hath rolled on, and neath its stormy flow Their names and deeds lie crushed in one sad overthrow. They passed away; the savage roamed the wild. Where dark interminable forests grew, Fit haunts for Nature's rude and daring child. Disporting on yon bay with light canoe, Or dash with glancing foot the feathery dew, Or chasing through thick woods the bounding deer. Or paint the swarthy cheek with varied hue ; Smiling in Nature's dress those forms appear, Seen through the gathering mist of long re- volving years. Here long in happy innocence they dwelt, Nor knew the tyrant's frown, the statesman's wile ; To one great power in solitude they knelt. Who rides the storm, or in the sunshine smiles. Ah ! little knew their simple hearts the while These sweet enchanting scenes would soon be o'er. And they be trodden like the sea-weed vile. The white man's foot is on this western shore, And Hope's sweet star has set to rise no more, And all the shore is red with foeman's strife. The Indian, girded in his war attire. The tomahawk, the murder-dealing knife. The painted visage, rages in his ire. The infant bleeds, the village sinks in fire. But nought avail those hearts untamed and bold, Their chief, their nation, all must soon expire. For Philip's hunted to his last, last hold And like Chaldea's king his days on earth are told. 'Twas now the hour when summer smiles On Narragansett's lovely isles. When Nature wears her greenest hue. And sunbeams bathe in morning dew. The sky is pouring summer showers. The forest blushes thick with flowers. And many a light and pearly blossom Is strewn upon Earth's kindly bosom; The air is balm, and every grove Is redolent with song and love. 'Tis night, the beauteous moonbeams stray O'er fields all red with foeman's slaughter. And stars which hid their light by day Are dancing on the glassy wate:r. No leaf is stirred, no light cloud driven. Nor evening wakes the breath of heaven ; The ocean sleeps on its sandy pillow. The moonbeams bask upon the billow. The shore is silent as the ocean, The tall grass feels no tremulous motion ; The ear could seem to catch the tread Of Spirits wandering from the dead; Night smiles amid its woe. The heavens are all in peace above And all is calm below. Clouds, groves and fountains all are bright, — Oh ! the loveliness of a summer's night. At this sweet hour in a horrid dell. Where pine and dark fir wave around. And bones lay scattered on the ground, There Philip wakes the rites of hell. The war fire by its horrid glare Shows forms painted, black and bare. Long time they moved the fire around. Long beat in furious dance the ground. With frantic gesture mocked the fight. The charge, the groans, the wild affright. THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY A sudden scream thro' the desert rung, And thus the fearless warriors sung: To the fight ! To the fight ! Brave sons of the mountain ! Like a torrent that bursts From a rain-swollen fountain. For the red thunder stroke The pine top is rending; From thick clouds of the west The war god is bending. Far away on the night His red hair is streaming. And the dark fire of death In his proud eye is gleaming. A serpent has come O'er the wide-spreading water; His fangs are all red With the blood of the slaughter. The bones of the red man Around him are lying, And the ghosts of the murdered For vengeance are crying. To the fight ! To the fight ! Oh ! the joys of the battle. The music of groans, And the war club's loud rattle. Where the warm blood spins out, And the faint foe is reeling, And the glazed eye-ball rolls, And the death spasm stealing. Your victim shall writhe In the midst of the fire And the brains of your babes Shall besprinkle their sire, And the infant's warm heart In your cold teeth shall quiver. You shall quaff the rich blood Flowing forth like a river. With the curse of despair The white man shall grieve. As he hies to his home At the star-lighted eve. For ashes are there With the bones of the dead ; For the flesh of his children The vulture hath fed. The father shall bend. In frenzy of woe, O'er the son of his bosom In battle laid low, And the maiden shall weep At the fate of her lover. As she sees his white bones With the grass growing over. Mid these wild scenes a musket rings ; Thro' the painted crowd the death shot sings ; Stretched on the ground a warrior lies. And death is swimming o'er his eyes. Another, another, with gasping bound Stream their warm life blood on the ground. From every bush the shots rain fast As snowflakes on the wintry blast. Hope's chieftain marked the covert fight. His warriors fall, no foe in sight, Like tiger foaming in his cage. His bosom writhes with stormy rage: "And shall we die like recreant slaves, Xor send one ghost to guard our graves? No, by the redman's battle god, These vales shall crimson with their blood. They hope not hence unharmed to go, Tho' every bush concealed a foe." Now broods a furious battle storm, But, ere the threatening ranks are formed, From forts concealed a solemn prayer Rose slowly on the evening air : "God of the ocean and the skies. Hear now thy suffering children's cries, And crush the heathen's might. From thy high throne in mercy send The help thou didst to Gideon lend. O God, assist the right." Again the musket's sulphurous breath Peals on the ear the note of death; Again the fatal bullet speeds, Nor now alone a rednian bleeds. As neath the moon's uncertain light Is waged a rude and straggling fight. Here thick and fast the musket flashing. Here bayonet and broad-sword clashing. Whilst here the furious warriors close Amid a mingled shower of blows, And, man to man in horrid strife, They pour the reddening tide of life. And foemen, who ne'er met before, Are joined by death to part no more. Here foe breasts foe in horrid fight. Here turn their backs with wild affright. Who then had marked the flash, the smoke, The pangs that on the dying broke, The horrid shriek, the fainting breath, The loud command, the groan of death, The charging Indian's furious yell, Could image true the scenes of hell. From the desert in accents low There came a song like the voice of woe; This song arose : What form is that with haughty air And sallow brow of calm despair. Though the warriors waste away, Still keeps the raging foes at bay? The earth around him swims with gore. His voice transcends the combat's roar, His tomahawk with slaughter drunk Still piles the quivering trunk on trunk. He shuns no blow, he heeds no prayer, Like a lion hunted in his lair. And him with distant death shot ply, To his bosom hastes the fatal ball, And Metacom, the sachem, falls. 'Tis morn, the sounds of death have past Like the dying moan of the evening blast. And the summer's sun, so mild and fair, Smiles on the scene of slaughter there. There lies many a form all stiff and pale, Whom wife and children shall long bewail, And the chieftain who rules the fight is sunk On the bloody earth, a headless trunk, And here his spirit shall dwell alone. And moss gather around his throne. And his tribe, like mountain breezes free. Be scattered towards the western sea, And he shall have no dirge of the brave. No stem shall flourish on his grave. Cold, cold as the ice on the snow-melted wave THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 89 Is the form that was lit with the soul of the brave. He sleeps on the spot where in conflict he stood. And the lair of the lion is wet with his blood, And the seat of the hero is lonely and still, As the mist cloud that sleeps on his own native hill. His warriors are scattered like dew drops of morn, Tliough their bosoms are blasted, the tear- drops they scorn. But no more shall they rush to the perilous fight, For the spirit that led them is sleeping in night. He was born on the crag of the sky-covered mountain. His drink was the rill from a blood-stained fountain, His cradle a mat that was rocked by the blast. His food from the beak of the raven was cast. His delight was to gaze on the whirl of the storm, And the dark towering rocks that the desert deform. Oh ! firm was his breast as his own mountain rock; His spirit rejoiced in the fierce battle shock; His voice was the torrent, his eye was a star; His spear like the north light shot gleaming afar; He rushed to the fight like the bright-burning levin. Where it bursts in its wrath from the portals of heaven. He hath sought like the eagle the place of his rest. And his bold spirit roves in the far-away west. To the sky-soaring vulture his cold corse they flung. And the winds of the desert his death dirge hath sung. Be the valley his grave, be the broad sky his shroud. And the pall that hung o'er him the dark thunder cloud. His bones shall repose by the wild dashing wave And the tempests of midnight shall howl o'er his grave. Brown University March 14*'' 1825 Dear Parent I embrace the opportunity of writing you by Mr Pendleton but my letter must be brief as he can wait only a few mo- ments. I arrived here in safety but was for nearly a week troubled with an addi- tional cough but am now happily rid of it and my health is tolerable. I know not but I shall (be) under the necessity of troubling you for 3 or 4 dollars in money before the end of the term. Nothing of interest has occurred in this place since my arrival except the celebra- tion of the 4^^ of March which was done with much eclat. The influenza with which I was probably afiflicted has pre- vailed to a degree never before wit- nessed in this country. And I am told that poor Daniel Fellows has fallen a vic- tim to it. Our term will close in 8 weeks from next Wednesday. I have thought if you should go to New Port about that time I could go down the river in the packet next day for 25 ct and I could re- ttirn with you. I wish you to write me on that subject. I have not time to write any thing farther. I wish you would write me as soon as convenient. Yours in haste 6" G Cole. SENIOR CLASS ELECTIONS President — D. G. Donovan. First Vice-President — J- H.

Judson, 1859 The following extracts are from an account book kept by the Rev. Adoniram Judson of Plymouth, Mass., father of Adoniram Judson the missionary and grandfather of the present writer: "Expence of my two sons Education, Gifts &c. Adoniram (class of 1807 at Brown) $950,,oo,.o. Elnathan (student 1810-1813) $iooo,,oo„o. In the account above I did not charge Adoniram for a horse which I gave him which horse he sold fifty Dollars which added make $iooo,,oo,,o. These two sums are taken ADONIRAM JUDSON, SR.. PLYMOUTH. MASS. 1752-1826 from accounts of bills moneys paid & given- to my two sons for their Educa- tion & other expenses ; beside their board at Home & clothing. As Nabey (Abi- gail) B. my Daughter has not been at much expense abroad for her Education & has lived at home to assist and aecon- omise in the family I now give her Eight hundred Dollars in state Bank for her own use & improvement. And she has two hundred Dollars in sd bank with her mother's which make $iooo,,oo,,,c For the future, while she is at home I will give her board & half a Dollar per. week. Jan. I, 1 81 4 Adoniram Judson" The blank book was opened in 1796 and its price was set down with a newly mended quill pen as "o„i,,8" (a shilling and eight pence?). The rules of com- position might have been more closely followed if the writer had known that he was going to be quoted in the Brown Alumni Alonthly, for he was a graduate of Yale and had received an honorary A. M. from Harvard. His Yale diploma (A. M.) is dated: "Annoq Salutis 1778 Annoq: Reip: Amer: 3tio." A piece of needlework done by the girl whom he married reads in part as follows : "Nabby Brown Her Sampler Made In The 15 Year Of Her Age 1774." Their children are referred to in the quotation already made. The elder son, the one who sold his horse, married a young school teacher and sailed for heathen lands, where their first-born was named Roger Williams. The younger son, Elnathan, joined the Navy as a medical officer. The daughter, Nabey, kept watch by the open fireplace at Plymouth. It is not clear why the boys went to Brown instead of following their father to Yale. Motives of economy may have prevailed. The distance on horseback was much less to Providence than to New Haven. The pastorate at Plymouth was begun by a long candidacy, as appears from the following: "Plymo. Dr. From April i, 1801, to May 12, 1802 34 Sabbaths preaching Six Dollars per Sab. $204,,- 00. ,0. Sallery from May 12, 1802 to May 12, 1803 $400.,oo,,o." The only wedding fee in the book is recorded thus: "Feb. 20, 1804 $1,50 Marriage money." The following entry shows that the practice of economy was desir- able : "Feburary 22, 1805. This day we reckoned & settled all account rela- tive to my Sallery for the year 1803 & found paid of said Sallery four hundred THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 91 & fourty Dollars, and that Sixty Dollars remains due of the Sallery to be paid to me. Adoniram Ji-idson. Nathan Reed." His medical expenses were not heavy, as is shown by this memorandum : "April 18, 1803 I proposed to settle with Dr. Cotton for his attendance on my family as a physician in times of sick- ness since my residence in the Town, and he told us that my name was not on his book, nor never would be that he should not receive any thing for his ad- vise & assistance & told us to call on him as we had done & welcome for the future." The family, however, was not altogether loyal to the regular school. When Miss Nabey passed away in the old home, in 1884, at the age of 93, a number of "Perkins's tractors" w^ere found tied up with some antique hat pins, or hair pins. Patented and guar- anteed to draw out pain and disease, they were plain pin-shaped trinkets of iron or brass, flattened on one side to keep them from rolling off when applied to the afifected part. They were in- vented by a learned physician of Con- necticut, an enthusiast who honestly be- lieved that he had made an important medical discovery. After his death they were advertised and sold in large num- bers in this country and Europe, the price in London in 1802 being five guineas. THE BROWN CLUB IN NEW YORK A LIVE INSTITUTION THAT IS DOING GOOD WORK FOR THE COLLEGE The Brown Club in New York has issued an attractive booklet of thirty pages, from which we make the follow- ing self-explanatory extracts: To Brown men living in New York city and vicinity the club extends an invitation to take advantage of the facili- ties which it offers to attend the vari- ous social gatherings and meetings held in its rooms and to co-operate in the work it is endeavoring to perform. To Brown men stopping in New York for a time the club extends an earnest invitation to make use of the club rooms whenever possible. Its doors are always open ; within, you will receive a warm and sincere welcome. Come around and be one of us. We New York men are resolved to make this Brown Club the headquarters for Brown interests all over the coun- try. Vou will find here a group with whom care can be forgotten and with whom it will be worth while to connect yourself. Here can be found pleasure, the diversion of games, sympathetic com- panionship and, at times, discussions of the important topics of the hour by leading men, whom it is a great benefit to hear and to know. \'isit us on the regular club night, Wednesday, and see if you can afiford to lose the enjoyment which membership in this club would bring to you. On Dec. i, 1910, the club moved to new and more commodious quarters in the Hotel Royalton at No. 44 West Forty- fourth street. We have three rooms, in addition to a bath-room and a coat-room, as well as the use of the hotel dining-room for special occasions. We use one room as a pool-room, and the third^ and largest is our living-room, in which you will find the Brown Daily Herald, the Alumni Monthly and a full line of current magazines and periodi- cals. Our library, while not large, con- tains a number of interesting volumes. The dining facilities of the club are excellent. With a private entrance from the club rooms, we have the use of a dining-room wdiich will seat seventy- five people. The members of the club and their friends can dine in the hotel restaurant at any time. Since Oct. i, 19 10, fifty new mem- 92 THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY bers have joined the club, and the indications are that a larger number will join this year. This vigorous growth is due to the fact that the club does not ask you to contribute to its support without giving in return much more than the value of your dues. The dues of resident members are ten dol- lars a year, and of non-resident mem- bers (forty miles from the city hall), five dollars. Financially, the club is in better shape than it has been for some years. All our bills have been paid and there re- mains a substantial balance in our treas- ury. There are five hundred Brown men living in and around New York city. Just think what the Brown Club would be in energy and influence if every one of these men were on our active mem- bership list. Any Brown man, whether a graduate or not, is eligible. There will be, as last year, bi-monthly smokers this fall and winter; the first occurred Oct. 4. A pool tournament and a bridge-whist tournament will also be held. The regular club night is Wednesday, although you will find someone around almost every night. Drop in any night, but don't miss Wednesday nights. Every Friday at 12:30 there is a special luncheon for Brown men served in the private dining-room of the hotel. li you can possibly do so, come in to this luncheon and enjoy a good meal in good company. A number of class dinners and re- unions were held at the club last year. The club invites every class represented in New York and vicinity to hold simi- lar reunions at the club-rooms this winter. The annual banquet of the club will be held on Friday evening, Jan. 18, at the Hotel Savoy, Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue. The first ladies' day will occur on the afternoon of election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7, from 4:00 to 7 :oo. The officers and their wives will receive the guests and their women friends on that occasion. The club is open to members at all times. The private entrance is on Forty- fourth street, and keys can be obtained from the secretary or from the treasurer. Members who do not have keys can obtain admittance by applying at the hotel desk. An efifort is being made to build up our library. To this end Dr. Charles K. Stillman, '00, has been appointed librarian. He will be glad to receive contributions to our library. He will be glad also to get in communication with any one who has any old docu- ments or pictures pertaining to Brown that he would like to donate or loan to the club. More publications are de- sired. Our librarian will be glad to get in touch with any member who feels that he can subscribe for any magazine or periodical for the club. Last year fifty Brown men went to the Brown- Yale game from New York. Let's make it one hundred and fifty this year. The club at present has two hundred members. ENGLISH AS SHE IS WROTE The following (more or less) self-ex- planatory letter has been received from a Spanish university by an officer of Brown Lhiiversity: Wishing to enrich our "American and Cultural Museum" with the news on the greats Universities of America, we have the honour to play you — whom guide as well now this — send us a little historical sketch of the same, branches of study, pedagogical criterion, nation- als textbooks, — any one, if you please — number of students (officials and unof- ficial ), professors and photographies of the building. Our wish should. Sir, that in the suc- cessive when the intellectual entail or others motives may be cause of a supe- rior harmony between us, be the "Casa de America" one of the most faithful depositaries of your sympathy and con- fidence.

THE PROFESSOR'S TENURE OF OFFICE A CONTRAST By Harry Lyman Koopman Early in October of this year two New England college presidents were expressing their views on the relations of the professor to the governing body of the institution, especially in regard to appointment and tenure of ofifice. One utterance, that of President Faunce, emanates from a man who has had twelve years harmonious relations with the faculty over which he presides. The other is the declaration of policy an- nottnced by President Benton in enter- ing upon the presidency of the ancient and honored University of Vermont. What troubles there may be in store for our northern neighbor cannot, of course, be exactly foreseen, but unless its new president has been using words as counters instead of coin, there may be breakers ahead for the Green Mountain college. W^e quote two paragraphs from his address as printed : "If one feature of presidential duty may be emphasized at the expense of another, it will doubtless be agreed that the chief responsi- bility of a college president is for his educa- tional staff. Before boards of trustees came to a proper comprehension of their limi- tations, they took official notice of the fitness or unfitness of every member of the faculty, and not only determined the retention or dismissal of incumbent professors and - in- structors, but solemnly debated the qualifica- tions of all proposed candidates before voting to fill a chair. Their opinion of the worthi- ness of a professor to continue was formed by the report concerning him coming from immature students or some other incapable informant. As to the election of new faculty members, the board was governed in most instances by flatteringly worded and usually worthless testimonials. To-day it would be difficult to find a trustee presumptuous enough to entertain the thought of passing iudgment on the qualifications of teachers. The presi- dent is charged with this responsibility and the head of an institution must stand or fall on his ability properly to meet this responsi- bility. The retention of present members of his faculties and the election of new members in the modern university depends \sic] entirely upon the dictum of the president. Those who object to granting such arbitrary power to one man will, on reflection, admit THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 97 that to hold an executive responsible for all the work of an institution, including the teaching done, would be unfair unless there were guaranteed therewith the privilege of choosing the colleagues for whose work he must answer. In some instances the president is required by ordinance to nominate new faculty members, the board confirming or re- jecting his nominations, and that is the sys- tem which will obtain in this institution from this time forward until it is changed by order of the board of trustees." * * * "The vulgar swagger assumed by some uni- versity and college professors in this latter day would be pitiable if it were not positively mischievous. Time was when the man who taught in college believed that his life should be one of consecration to the highest ideals of character. He believed that all questionable conduct should be avoided. For the sake of his infiuence upon his students he consistently refrained from indulging himself in those di- versions which to men occupying less respon- sible positions might be occasionally allowable if not always permissible. "No more hateful spectacle confronts ad- vancing civilization than a beer-sipping, wine- bibbing college or university professor. He is hateful because he is incongruous. More than that, he is hateful because of the havoc he works as in iconoclast in the beautiful temple of youthful ideals. It is a safe prediction in the near-coming day, when the American saloon is only a historic tradition, that the college professor who drinks in public or in private will not be tolerated beyond the meet- ing of the board of trustees next succeeding his discovery, and I should say to you in per- fect candor at this time, in order that there may be no rrfisunderstanding from the be- ginning, that I will not serve on a teaching body with any man who uses intoxicating liquors in any form whatsoever. My responsi- bility to young manhood and young woman- hood for character ideals is too great to per- mit me to attempt to bear the burden of respon- sibility which I could not escape for a col- league who leads an immoral life." Our readers may remember seeing in Science for June 23 a communication by Professor Mead on tbe practice of Brown L'niversity in the appointment, promotion and removal of officers of in- struction. The attitude of the univer- sity was there shown to be in the high- est degree appreciative of the profes- sor's rights, an attitude expressly pre- scribed in the charter. In President Faunce's report, above mentioned, is a paragraph in which that attitude is reaf- firmed. We commend its statements to President Benton and to Brown alumni as a truthful account of a situation that may well inspire the friends of Brown with pride : "It is well for the corporation to realize that a more united and harmonious body of teachers than the Brown University faculty It would be difficult or impossible to find. Mutual respect and regard everywhere pre- \ail. and the frictions which often mark the academic intercourse of sensitive spirits are almost unknown. . . . The harmonv and happiness of the faculty are due partly to the security of tenure enjoyed under our charter by all faithful and competent teachers, and partly to the fact that the corporation has so wisely left all academic matters under faculty control. Theoretically, the board of fellows, to which as 'the learned faculty' is committed the 'government of the college,' has full authority in academic concerns. But that authority it practically and wisely refuses to exercise in any case until after full con- sultation with the faculty, and in no instance since my connection with the university have the fellows failed to ratify faculty action. In other words, for a long time all questions re- lating to admission requirements, courses of study, attendance and grading of students, granting of degrees in course, etc., have been determined by the teaching body of the uni- versity. In the same way all new appointments to our stafif of instruction, while made by the corporation on the nomination of the presi- dent, are never made except after full con- sultation with the faculty. In every case the initiative is taken by the president after con- sultation with the head of the department. Most of the younger men on our staff have really been nominated by the older members of the faculty. This again is as it should be. The corporation cannot surrender its duty of careful and critical oversight. But it has to a remarkable degree and with unusual wisdom declined to interfere with academic matters, and has trusted the men it has called to teach. In no institution in America has the teaching staff larger power of initiative and greater freedom both of action and utterance. Such freedom is meant to encourage the develop- ment of vigorous personality and genuine leadership in the community and the nation."

Cottrell of Westerly, '97, Darius L. Goff of Pawtucket, '62, J. Milton Payne of Pawtucket, '82. Ed- ward H. Rathbun of W^oonsocket. '89. LUNCHEON GRILLS-XI OPTIMISTS AND THEIR CRITIC The lamp of poetic inspiration burned low to-day with our Literateur as he pensively remarked, "Dick Deadeye said, 'this is a queer world,' and I guess he properly summed up the condition of things. Everything" appears to be at sixes and sevens, with the odds and evens so mixed up that we mortals can't see straight." "Huy !" said the genial Insur- rectionist, "it wasn't the world that was queer, it was Di-ck Deadeye himself that was abnormally queer, a crooked stick full of knots, with a disposition full of angles, one of wdiich was so obtuse that it carried him overboard — with the help of his shipmates. Now, Air. Literateur, the convexity of your eyes must be so great to-day that all form is distorted to your vision ; this seeming obliquity of mundane affairs is due to conditions within, where the stomach or liver, or perhaps other organs, fail to perform their functions as they should. This mental chaos is entirely subjective. The world is all right, it is normal, it is build- ed and is continually building on sane and normal lines from aeon to aeon. We are not keen enough to understand all, Init when we once grasp a great principle we find the law is infallible and inexorable, effect following cause and conclusions following correct premises with logical precision. On account of the precession of the Equinoxes we must drop a day from our calendar oc- casionally ; the equinoctial precession is not queer, but follows well known laws of the attraction of heavenly bodies. It is our calendar that is queer' and which must be made to conform to the regu- lating forces about us. The universe rolls on its poised course without a stop or jolt, and we feel sure that those dere- licts of space, the dead worlds, will never touch us, however much the pessimists may threaten. Some honest folk are nerplexed because it is written that Joshua 'said to the Sun, 'stand thou still upon Gibeon and thou moon in the A'al- ley of Ajalon,' and it is said 'they stood still a whole day while he slaughtered the Amorites.' Alagnificent hyperbole ! 'Glorious oriental impressionism. An ■hour at such a time seemed like a day, and moreover, the topography of the situation has been carefully studied and it is found that Joshua was fighting the Amorites in the darkening valley of Ajalon, and that in pursuing them up over the mountain he gained an extend- ed period of sunlight. Joshua may have given utterance to the command, but this world did not stop for him, simply because it would take a long time to stop it, and when its motion ceased it would have leaped to destruc- tion and absorption into the strongest attracting heavenly body. Understand- ing these things, the integrity of our rea- son is preserved and you can cheer up and come over to the ranks of the opti- mists, who believe that 'God is in His heaven and all is well.' Don't say the world is queer, say I am a little askew to-day. If anyone crosses the path of your ambition or interest and you are tempted to call him queer^or worse, re- member you are crossing his path at precisely the same angle of incidence." The Governor, who is a sort of interloc- utor, here blandly inquired, "Who does 'the less harm in the world, the pessi- mist or the optimist?" "Well," said the Professor, "you know the pessimist sees things as they appear to be, but the opti- mist sees them as they ought to be, like the man who stopped at a tavern for din- ner and was annoyed bv the loquacity of the waitress ; she finally brouofit in the coffee, and setting it before him, said, 'it looks like rain.' 'Oh, yes,' he replied. 'but really it smells like coffee. T don't know," said the Apostle of Truth, "just what an optimist is, but I think I am one. T always stop and kick off l:)anana and orange peel from the side- walk, lest the unwary slip and fall. I know it looks old-fashioned and fussy, but I can't help it. I avoid anncn'ins; a working man at his task and give the THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 99 riglit of way to a heavily loaded team. I must confess I am inclined to favor the under dog and to have an aversion for those presuming in their position or wealth : when fortune lays a heavy hand upon me and I can no longer draw on the bank I draw on my fund of patience and hoist the banner of the optimist, 'it might be worse.' Sitting before my pic- tures I take the worried mind out to lie down in green pastures amid the timid sheep and sweet-breathed cattle or out on the great rocks on the sea, where pride is humbled and we come to recog- nize our true selves from a crowd of distortions. Then the optimist enjoys such simple types of beauty ; why, all summer I had my squash garden, I neither ploughed nor planted, I paid no tax and labored not. No mortal hand placed the seed, nor saw it done. Some Oberon raised those bowers for his fairy tribe, in the shade of which they might dance and climb and glide the summer through, resting at night in the yellow-curtained flower cups, rocked by the evening breeze, and arising in the morn-light to their repast of honey and cooling dew. Each day I wandered up amid these trailing vines, creeping along the pathway or in pendant grace hang- ing over the tottering battlements, in mad profusion crowding the hollows and racing down the hill, each vine rival- ling the other to reach the bottom first, a scene of careless grace and vivid color- ing." "Wonderful," said the Grillist. "Are the shades of George William Curtis here among us? Now all that squash vines mean to me is their fin- ished product in the shape of squash pie, which, I will allow, appeals to the appetite's imagination. It is a terrible thing to be an optimist, for he gets some awful jolts when he drops from his cloud-borne dreams to the cold, hard earth of facts. I was an optimist once. A so-called friend made me be- lieve that there were tons of gold down in a hole in the ground, but I found out later that there was nothing down there but dirt, same as the hole was made of, and all my optimism and all my money went down into that hole and were buried there forever. An optimist is a dangerous man and dangerous to his friends. He pins his faith on what he thinks ought to be, and is left pinned up there with his faith, when everything is gone out beneath him. Never speculate with an optimist ; he may make a little on the up market, but on the down he is worse than Davy Crockett's coon, for not even the sight of a gun will make him drop from his perch, as he always says that things will soon right them- selves and the market come back. Then, again, these optimists are always trying to change everything; they call themselves reformers in the church and state, and seek, they say, to improve and better conditions. No sooner does a political machine get itself oiled and running smoothly and its members all well cared for at the public expense, but up come these optimists shouting graft, bossism, jobbery, and pin on their breasts ribbons marked, 'The Rights of the People.' It's the same in the church, wdien a minister gets snugly en- sconced in a soft and well-paid place, as he supposes, for a lifetime, up come these same people, who pretend they know or want something better, and a church row is on foot. What a peaceful, one-sided, contented world this w'ould be if it weren't for those optimists. Of the two, I thiiik I'll take mosquitoes for mine, as I suppose we must have some- thing to annoy us."

BROWN AT HARVARD Although the Brown football eleven was beaten at Cambridge, the occasion 'was not without its compensating fea- tures. Never before were so many peo- ple present at an athletic match in which Brown was a contestant — 25,000 per- sons crowded into the Stadium; and a beautiful sight it was. Providence and other neighboring towns and cities rallied to the team's support with thousands of well-wishers. Hotels like the Lenox were Brown cen- tres of enthusiasm at lunch time. There was not so much enthusiasm at dinner time, but it means much to Brown to have created an atmosphere of interest in one of its teams sufficient to produce this great gathering of graduates and their families, of friends and supporters of the college, forty-four miles from home. That Brown was beaten after such high hopes of its success had been raised by the victory over Pennsylvania was regrettable, but this was merely an in- cident in our athletic progress. We met a superior team and we were theirs. But the day was crisp and fine, and every person on the Brown side of the great athletic structure at Soldiers Field must have had felt a mental stirring and uplift despite the depression of defeat. The undergraduate songs and cheers were inspiring, and called forth con- tinued applause from the Harvard side. Led by Fay's Band, the Chaffee paeans smote the air with agreeable force and melody, even when the score was piling up in Harvard's favor. And after the game the undergradu- ate body rose to sing "Alma Mater," beaten, but undismayed. That was best of all. SENDING SONS TO BROWN In the freshman class this year are fourteen sons of Brown men, and a fine, attractive lot of fellows they are. Their fathers graduated in the classes from '74 to '92, Mr. Leonard H. Campbell of the latter class being, we believe, the youngest alumnus who has yet sent his son to the College on the Hill. Next month we shall print the photo- graphs of these fourteen Brown men of the second generation. Last year there were only twelve such pictures to print. LAUDATOR TEMPORIS ACTI This is a familiar talk with alumni of ten years' standing and more. One does not have to attain to the "difficilis, querulus" of old age in order to become a champion of auld lang syne. The dust of the conflict in which a man soon be- comes involved veils the scenes of his youth in a golden haze. Everything seen through it is transfigured; no mountains are so towering, no forests so leafy, no heroes so grand, as those which loom through its magical atmos- phere. As a result, the present seems commonplace, if not degenerate. Ordi- narilv this illusion lasts onward through THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 101 life and is never suspected of being any- thing but fact. Sometimes it becomes possible to return to the old surroundings and discern their real character ; but commonly the man goes through life dis- counting the present in comparison with the past. li the young wife's cookery could only be compared with the mother's actual cookery and not with the memory of it, as it appealed to the appetite of boyhood, there would be fewer domes- tic disappointments and the humorist would lose a stock subject. There v^^ould also be removed from the world the cause of an unwitting but real and deep injustice; we refer now not merely to our humble illustration, but to the whole great class of which it is a representa- tive. If we could see the past as it actually was we should be more appre- ciative of the present. This considera- tion has a pecuhar pertinence to the graduate's attitude toward his college, and it is this application which we invite our readers to make. To put the case bluntly : is it true of your college that your professors of ten, twenty, thirty years ago, were so su- perior to those of to-day? Of course they were ! One has only to recall their venerable forms as they stood before their classes. But how old were they? Younger than you are now, dear alum- nus, and heaven forbid that we should call you venerable. Get out your H^is- torical Catalogue and see how old your venerated professor was when you were paying him that unstinted reverence, which, however, did not prevent you from cutting up in his classes and get- ting the better of him when you could. A fact greatly to the credit of the pres- ent-day professor tends to remove him from the veneration which his pred- ecessor of a generation ago undoubt- edly received. He is less a commander and more a leader; he is not so much a teacher as an elder fellow-student. For the benefit of his students he has re- signed that divinity that used to hedge the professor, and put on a familiarity that may easily deceive observers who lack the clue to his manner. His stu- dents take this attitude of his as a mat- ter of course and appreciate its ad- vantages to them only when, as now and then happens, they come into contact with the older professorial aloofness. If the alumnus will recognize in him- self the inevitable tendency to exalt the past, even the comparatively recent past of his student days, and will remember that new times, as in the course of nature they must have new men, so also must they have new measures and new man- ners, a real danger of misconception will be removed, and the alumnus may find a greater satisfaction in understanding and supporting the present than in glori- fying any past, however deserving. TOPICS OF THE MONTH FRATERNITY HOUSES In his annual report Dean Meiklejohn recommends : 1. "The fraternity houses should at all times be open to the inspection of the college physician and the superintendent of buildings and grounds." 2. "No commons shall be established in a fraternity house." 3. "After September, 1913, no fresh- man shall be allowed to room in a fra- gility house, except by the consent of the university authorities." 4. "No one who is not at this time registered as an undergraduate student in the university shall room in a frater- nity house, except by consent of the uni- versity authorities." 5. "Any resident of a fraternity house whose registration is withdrawn, wheth- er by his own act or that of the college, shall discontinue his residence in the fraternity house not later than forty- eight hours after the withdrawal of the registration." BROWN TENNIS CHAMPIONS The tournament committee of the Rhode Island state championship tour- nament has announced the names of the first 10 tennis players in Rhode Island as follows : J. D. E. Jones, '93, E. Tudor 102 THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Gross, 'oi, John O. Ames, Harold A. Mackinney, "03, Russell N. Dana, Dr. Albert A. Barrows, '98, Stanley Hen- shaw, ex-'96. Dr. Charles O. Cooke, x\r- thur Ingraham and Newton P. Hutchin- son, '05. The ranking is based upon the work done in the recent state championship tournament, as well as the work done in other tournaments where it was possible to make any comparison between the players by the matches played. EXETER MEN AT BROWN The September number of the Bulle- tin of Phillips-Exeter Academy says : "At Brown Exeter has seldom been so influential. John E. Hinckley, "07, was president of the Phillips Club, vice-pres- ident of the senior class, managing edi- tor of the Liber, and his other distinc- tions were many. Robert N. Gardner, '08, was president of the Tennis Associa- tion, and held the college championship in doubles. Royal W. Leith. '08, was a leader in numerous activities of the col- lege. Jeffrey S. Goldberg, '09, was a member of the eleven and the swimming team.," EMPLOYMENT BUREAU A circular issued by the Brown Chris- tian Association says: "The L^niver- sity Employment Bureau is endeav- oring to secure positions for all under- graduates who need remunerative em- ployment during the coming college year. We write you thinking that w'e may be of mutual assistance to each other. We shall endeavor to furnish you with what you want. We charge no fee for this service, as our sole purpose is to increase the opportunities for enabling men to obtain a college education. H you have any kind of w^ork to be done, and if you need an energetic young man to do it; if it happens to be a steady job ; if it takes but a few hours, or if it means but a -ingle hour's work, communicate by let- ter or telephone with the Brown Univer- sity Christian Association." VARIOUS ACTIVITIES The University Library has received as a gift from Horatio A. Brown of Pawtucket. two interesting old Dutch Bibles, one dated 161 2 and the other 1743. They were rescued from the New York Crystal Palace fire in 1858. Brown and AL L T. will compete in a dual cross-country meet. Nov. 15. A similar meet with Tufts for a later date is being arranged. The annual fall tennis tournament brought out 53 contestants, the largest number on record. J. T. Wilson, "13, has been appointed manager of the gymnasium team and is arranging a schedule of three or more competitive meets, and an ecjual number of exhibition meets with Amherst, Tufts, AL I T., Harvard and some of the large Y. AL C. As. in nearby towns. A pool tournament has been started at the Brown U^nion. President and Mrs. Faunce enter- tained the members of the freshman class on the afternoon of Oct. 4 at their home, 180 Hope street. There were present also a large number of the faculty and their wives. Four upper tlassmen acted as ushers. A very large number of the class of 1915 were pres- ent. At the close refreshments were served. On the- evening of Oct. 4. in the audi- torium of the Union. Shehadi A. She- hadi of Providence spoke to a large number of Brown men upon the Young 'Turk movement in general and especial- ly as it applies to the movement in Tri- poli. ]\Ir. Shehadi is a graduate of the University of Beirut and has always •'kept in touch with his country's inter- ests. He made a strong plea in favor of giving the Ottoman reformers a fair chance. The celebration committee has ap- pointed D. R. Mahoney, '12. cheer leader >in place of G. S. Burgess. '12. whose duties as football manager require his time. The Cercle Francais has elected : President. S. Nathanson ; first vice- president. H. W. Woodberry. Jr.. '13; second vice-president. P. F. Arnold. '13; secretarv. W. R. Burnham. '14. An erroneous report gained circula- tion a few weeks ago that the name of thr Women's College had been changed r THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY V 103 to Pembroke College. Perhaps, how- ever, the report was merely premature. The celebration committee has been selected for the year as follows: 1912 — R. S. Drury, chairman, R. B. Andrews, D. G. Donovan, H. Hennessy, R. W. Leith ; 1913 — C. F. Joslin, J. T. Walker, Jr., J. T. Wilson; 1914— D. F. Henry, R. F. Smith.

BROWN 6, PENNSYLVANIA o Two days before the Pennsylvania game at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Oct. 21, the Brow^n Daily Herald said: "The celebration of the victory will occur Monday night, upon the return of the team, which, riding in a barge, will head the procession to the Hill, where a huge fire will be burning in their honor." This use of the indicative future proved justified by the brilliant triumph of the BroWn players in the rain and on a grid- iron soggy from the downpour of sev- eral days and dotted with pools of water. Without disclosing its newest formations, the Brown team kept the ball in Pennsylvania territory through- out the game and twice failed to score, before the eventual touchdown was made, by narrow margins. The game was much more one-sided than the score indicates. The first half was played without either team being able to score. In the third period Brown showed superior power in recovering from the effects of the rain and mud. Jones backed up Sprackling's generalship wath line plung- ing ability that the Quakers could not offset. Attacks on Penn.'s line brought the ball to the Quakers' seven- yard line, and then to the one-yard line, where Brown lost it on downs. Thayer of Penn. punted out to Tenney of Brown, who made a fair catch on the 35-yard line. The forward pass, Sprack- COACH ROBINSON In a characteristic attitude, watching the Brown team play ling to Ashbaugh, accounted for most of the distance to the 18-yard line. Sprackling deftly directed the ball to x\dams in a forward pass, and the lat- ter was only five yards away from the Penn. goal ; then Tenney was thrust over on a line play for the only touch- down of the game. A difficult angle for goal kicking gave Sprackling a chance to punt out to Crowther. Ashbaugh kicked the goal. For the rest of the game Brown took care to keep the Penn. team out of the danger zone. Brown made 14 first downs, not counting forward passes, and rushed the ball 22 times for a total distance of 135 yards from scrimmage. The no 104 THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY yards made on forward passes (lo out of 12 being successful) brings the grand total up to 245 yards gained, not counting returns of punts. Penn. rushed the ball less than 20 yards from scrimmage, was in Brown territory but once, and made one first down.

BROWN 6, HARVARD 20 Twenty-five thousand people saw Brown roundly beaten by Harvard at the Stadium in Cambridge on Saturday, Oct. 28. Of this number nearly 5000 were from Providence, and when the Brown team made its solitary touch- down the Brown side of the great struc- ture was a gloriously enthusiastic sight to behold. Perhaps 8000 of the spec- tators were Brown supporters — but that is the merest guess. Brown could not keep the Harvard team away from Sprackling. The Crim- son players converged on him, and, when he caught the ball on a punt, they almost always downed him in his tracks. The Brown interference was poor, the Brown oft'ence defective. Against an- other team it would have been different, but Harvard, on this particular occa- sion, was an irresistible, almost invul- nerable, machine. Brown's only score came through two fine forward passes. The line-up and summary : HARVARD ' BROWN Smith.

THE VANES OF UNIVERSITY HALL Two vanes point out o'er University Hah, One conservative, one radical. One shifts with every breath that comes and goes, But, when the other faces round, it blows. So I have seen them point, one east, one west, Each proudly confident its way was best. One pointing back to yesterday and storm, One forward to the morrow bright and warm. One boasts a hundred years of skyey lore. The other scarce can muster half a score. One points whereto it knows ; the other, pshaw ! Mistakes his idle whim for nature's law. Not so ; the one is simply up to date. The other lingers on a century late. But both alike unconsciously fulfil Not their own promptings, but the wind's one will. Harry Lyman Koop)nan BRUNONIANS FAR AND NEAR Faculty On the evening of Tlnirsday, Oct. 26, Pro- fessor John Howard Appleton gave an address at the University Club in Providence, before the Rhode Island Section of the American Chemical Society. The subject was "The Indigoids,'' a new and important series of dyes. These dyes are synthetic products from coal-tar; each member of the series has the molecular configuration of indigotine (the important dye of indigo) ; but the new prod- ucts are characterized by substituting radicles. The dyes in question are many, varied in color-effects and relatively fast. The address was illustrated by specimens of the dyes made by Professor Appleton in the chemical laboratory of Brown University. On Oct. 14 Professor Allinson read a paper before the New Engand Association of Col- leges and Preparatory Schools on "Culture, the Ideal of the College."' Dr. Lester F. Ward of the department of social science has returned from Rome, where he went to attend the International Socio- logical Conference. Uiitil his return his courses were conducted by Professor Dealey. Mr. Chinard has recently published in "Modern Philology" an article on "Chateau- briand en Amerique"' and one in the "Publica- tions of the -Modern Language Association" on the "Influence des recits de voyages sur la philosophic de J. J. Rousseau." Colonel Cunliffe H. Murray, U. S. A., who has been for some time in cornmand of the large recruiting depot at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, has been assigned to the command of the 12th Cavalry at Fort Robinson, Neb. Colonel Murray was the last officer detailed for duty at Brown, serving 1896-99. President Faunce and Professor Benedict were delegates from Brown at the recent in- auguration of President Benton of the Uni- versity of Vermont. President Faunce was to have responded to a toast at the corpora- tion dinner, but had to leave Burlington be- fore the time arrived. Professor Crosby read Oscar Wilde's play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," at the Brown Union smoker Oct. 17. Alumni the oldest learned society of the United States, founded 1743 by Benjamin Franklin, an honorary graduate of St. Andrews; ex- president of the American Congress of Physi- cians and Surgeons, and member of various medical and scientific societies on both sides of the Atlantic. Dr. Keen is one of the most distinguished American surgeons, a prolific writer and the editor of a widely known sys- tem of surgery." 1863 Word has only recently been received of the death of Thomas Thaddeus Morrell at Bos- ton, Mass., Dec. 16, 1909. He was born at Farmington, N. H., Nov. 30, 1840, the son of Horatio S. and Mary H. (Plumer) Morrell. He prepared for college at the Pawtucket, R. I., High School and received the degree of Ph. B. from Brown in 1863. He was instructor at Lapham Institute, North Scituate, R. I., 1863-4; instructor at Bates College, 18{!4-.j, and chief chemist for the Cambria Iron Co., Johnstown, Pa., 1867-91. He married Francena T. White, Sept. 5, 1867. He was the author of several articles on methods of chem- ical analysis which were published in chemical journals. His home after 1891 was at Ogun- quit, Me. 1870 The opening address of the seminary year at the Newton Theological Institution was delivered by Professor J. M. English on "Jesus' Preparation for His Ministry." 1875 Colonel John Francis Clark of Lincoln re- ceived the 33d degree of Masonry at the re- cent Saratoga conclave. Colonel Clark was born in Cumberland Feb. 7, 1854, of an old Rhode Island family. He was fitted for col- lege at the University Grammar School in Providence. He served the town of Lincoln as town treasurer, tax assessor, member of the school committee and town clerk, holding the latter office for 15 years until he was appointed an assistant in the office of the secretary of state. He was a member of the State Legis- lature from 1878 to 1884. He was a colonel on the personal staff of Governor Albert H. Littlefield and for seven years was a colonel on the staff of Brig. Gen. Elisha H. Rhodes, Brigade of Rhode Island Militia. 1859 The University of St. Andrews, Scotland, in connection with its 500th anniversary, con- ferred various honorary degrees, one being on Dr. William W.

Blodgett returned to town recently, arriving on the Xoordam of the Holland-America Line, from a summer spent in the Austrian Tyrol, the Dolomite Alps and Switzerland. Augustus L. Abbott, a Democrat, has been appointed by Governor Hadley as a member of the Board of Police Commissioners of St. Louis. "I accepted the appointment," he said, "be- cause I believed it my duty as a citizen to do so. I am a Democrat, but politics should have no connection with the police department. 1 know all the other members of the board per- sonally and esteem them highly. I think we are having an excellent administration in this department, and while, like all other citizens, I have a general idea of how the department should be conducted, I will take up my duties without any special idea for change or any specific suggestion to make. I intend to be active in my office, but will be guided by my best judgment of conditions as I find them. I have neither prejudice nor plans." Mr. Abbott is head of the law firm of Abbott. Edwards & Wilson. He has never held public ofiice. He was born in Weymouth, South Boston. Mass., on Aug. 8, 1858. While he was still young his father, Rev. L. A. Ab- bott. D. D., a Baptist minister, removed from Weymouth to La Crosse, Wis., where he was educated in the public schools. He then en- tered Brown University, where he graduated in 1880. While he was at the university his father accepted a position on the faculty of Shurtleff College, Upper Alton, 111., and on his return from the university he .also became a member of the faculty. He was graduated from the law department of Washington University and began practising law in St. Louis in 1884. He is a member of the Ameri- can. Missouri and St. Louis Bar Associations, of the Missouri Historical Society and of the Mercantile and Glen Echo Clubs.

The occasion was one of the most notable social events ever • held in the West. Arthur P. Sumner of Providence has been nominated by the Republicans for the Rhode Island House of Representatives. 1887 Hon. Joseph Walker polled 27,999 votes in the recent primary to nominate a Republican candidate for governor of Massachusetts. The Cambridge Chronicle says : "Speaker Joseph Walker has done only what his friends expected, in his frank acceptance of the nomi- nation of Louis A. Frothingham by the Re- publicans of the state, and in his cordial sup- port of his successful rival, but he has done it in a manner that has won him a host of admirers among those who perhaps had not hitherto understood what manner of man he was. 'Money talks' in the estimation of many persons, and the speaker's gift of $1000 to the party campaign fund will bring home his real attitude to some who might have thought his oral support a mere form of words. To those who know Mr. Walker personally, or to those who had the privilege of seeing and hearing him at the American House gather- ing, this financial contribution was not needed to carry conviction of his sincerity. The man- ner of the man, his warmth of expression, his manifest earnestness, were enough." Theodore Francis Green was nominated by the Democrats for alderman of Providence in Ward 1, but declined the nomination. The address of John Knox is 332 South Orange ave., Hollywood, Los Angeles, Calif., where he is engaged in fruit-growing.

Before graduation he was appointed reading ■clerk of the House of Representatives in 1887, a position he retained for three years. The following year he was elected to the Common •Council. Dennis Harvey Sheahan was the son ■of James and Bridget Sheahan and was born in Providence May 30, 1861. When- only 8 he was placed at work, but being ambitious he attended the old Front street evening school, fitting himself for admission to the Providence High School, where he entered the classical department in 1881 and grad- uated in 1885. While attending high school he carried a Providence Journal route and later was correspondent of the Journal and Bulletin from North Providence and Wans- kuck.

Root is established as an archi- tect at 410 Commercial Club Bldg., Portland, •Oregon. Herbert A. Rice is the Republican nominee for attorney general of Rhode Island. He was born in Pawtucket, R. I., July 25, 1866, the son of Colonel Randall H. and Margaret E. (Bates) Rice. The Rice family settled in Warwick in 1660. Mr. Rice was graduated from the Church Hill Grammar School and in 1881 and 1882 attended the Pawtucket High School. He was graduated from Mowry & Goflf's English and Classical School in Provi- dence in 1885. He was graduated from Brown in 1889 and two years later received his A.

IN LIGHTER MOOD ACADEMIC GINGER The president of Bulstrode University handed the reporter a cigar and shifted his feet to a more comfortable position on the huge mahogany desk. "The need for introducing modern business methods into the field of university operation was made apparent to me from the first day I assumed office. The outside public has no idea of the enormous number of false motions made by the average college professor in going about his daily work. Take the case of our late professor of mediaeval literature and criticism. He would enter his class rooms from two to four times late on the average, as I ascertained by having three Pinkerton men disguised as sophomores hold the clock on him for two weeks in succession. Before pro- ceeding to call the roll he would wipe his spectacles, an act that necessitated a prolonged search for his handkerchief, which he had the habit of keeping every day in a different pocket. After he had cleaned his glasses, an operation whic'h he used to carry out with extraordinary deliberation, stopping at inter- vals to peer through the lenses at the chestnut tree in front of the window, he would cough, complain of a draug^ht and ask a member of the class to close all the windows. Invariably he would address this man by the wrong name. "Well, I immediately took steps to have the janitor see to it that a neatly folded handker- chief should be waiting for the professor at his desk, and I installed an automatic arrange- ment by which he could press a button and close all the windows simultaneously. Within a month I had reduced the professor's num- ber of preliminary motions from an average of 36 to 13. Even that, however, was hardly satisfactory. The reports made by mv three Pinkerton men, when duly tabulated, showed that an average of six motions ought to be sufficient in a department like mediaeval litera- ture. In the end the professor had to go. His place was taken by a young man from Yale, who began his lecture on his way from the door to the desk and finished it while put- ting on his hat. I have not at hand the exact amount in salary I have thus saved, but I be- lieve it was enough to pay a new lectureship in our department of the theory and practice of aeronlane construction." — Exchange. Friend — So your boy has left college. Is he down on the farm now? Farmer Jones — Yes ; he's so down on the farm he says he wouldn't stay there for a million dollars. — Boston Transcript. The kindly old professor was usually very considerate of the young men in his class, but there was one young fellow who was entirely too confident of his own mental superiority. One day he made an elaborate answer to a question with such an air of assurance that the old professor couldn't stand it any longer. "Where did you get that information?" he asked. For answer the young man gravely tapped his forehead. "Well, that's one time you knocked and some one was at home," commented the old gentleman. — Housekeeper. Hotel Clerk — I found that "Not to be used except in case of fire" placard those college boys stole out of the corridor. Manager — Where? Clerk — They'd nailed it up over the coalbin. — Lippincott's. Go easy, boys ! It is all right to sell a fresh- man the radiator, the gas fixture and the win- dow sills, but don't charge him too hig'h for the paper on the wall. — Boston Transcript. Freshman — So "Buck" Swatem wouldn't take that offer the big league manager made him? Sophomore — No. "Buck" told him he could get a much longer trip singing on the glee club during the holidays. — Puck. "Is that a college girl lunching with Fred?" "Think so. Heard her say, 'Gosh, the lobster is -bully!'" — Milwaukee Sentinel. "When they take women away from the co- educational college," said the speaker, "what will follow?" "I will," cried a voice from the audience. — Success.

If the people of RHODE ISLAND fully appreciated the advantages that can accrue to them and the State by patronizing a home company not one of them would go outside of his own State for life insurance until he had first secured all he could get in the PURITAN LIFE.
