Editorials Once more the y ar book peak through the page of thi book, the ORA LE. The cu tom fir t inaugurated in 1868 ha been r peated every year to the pre ent date. It i the object of the ORA LE to review the work of the year. Whether it ha ucceeded in pre enting a faitl1ful outline i left for the reader to judge. To the critic' eye, it imperfection ma.v appear manife t for it would not pre ume to pa uncriticized. Fa orable or unfavorable, the ORA LE a k only ju tice from it critic·. The BOARD offers thi book in strict confidenc that it repre ent it be t effort , an effort that ha con urned endle weary hour . We ha e tried earne tly to voice through it page that ubtle thing we call olby pirit. We have tried to make it the best annual in year a redit to olby and the cla . of 1 928. A we glance back over the event and accompli hment of the ear ju t gone, we note everal impro ement about the campu . The Iemorial Gates erected by the class of 1922 have added much to the appearance of our front campu . Where, la t June, tood the ruin of Coburn Hall, today, the renovated structure tand . It ha been refurni hed and equipped t afford biological and geological laboratorie equal to any found in the mall colleges. Another fine feature of the year ha been the announcement of th succe ful conclusion of the Building Fund Campaign carried on by the women's division. The prai eworthy effort of the co-ed are to be rewarded by a fine gymna ium, on which v. ork will be begun thi year. In connection with thi it might be well to mention that the fifty thou and dollar mark has been pa ed in the drive for the men' gymna ium, a crying need on the campus. The enrollment thi year howed again a percentage of increase a compliment to Colby tradition and to the Colby law of ervice rendered. It is a fine thing to ee an institution, as our , grow onward, ever increasing its opportunities and spreading its turdy ideas, the haven of civilization, among the youth of our land. In athletics, the year ha been one of more than usual uccess. In foot ball. a team tarted victoriously, suffered reverse and then came back on that well-remembered October afternoon on Seaverns Field to defeat the greatest Maine team of years by an overwhelming margin and then to tie them for the state title. It was the great victory of a great team. The hockey team was not quite so ucces ful, but it was the best team Colby ha ever had and finished second in the race for the tate title. Baseball, track and tennis are yet to come, but the prospects in all three are bright, especially baseball with a veteran team back. The student council has functioned excellently throughout the year a._ Especially prai eworthy wa� a repre entative board for student affairs. the effort made to promote basketball, the sending of a team to Maine

picked from among the players i n the i nter-fraternity league. It is to be hoped that a nother year will see basketbal l established as a varsity sport. No mention can be made of this year of Colby h i story without speak ing of the great loss the college s uffered in the death of our esteemed presi dent and benefactor, Dr. A rthu r Jerem iah Roberts. No greater tribute could be paid than to say that he represented the spirit and soul of Colby, but as we realize h ow i n adequate the ed itorial page i s for this p u rpose, we h ave reserved separate space in another part of the book for more worthy tribute. The executive comm ittee which took over the control of the college after the death of President Roberts until such time as a nother should be elected to fill the office, deserve m uch well earned commendation for the unsparing pains they have taken to keep Colby to the h igh standard she has always held. Under their supervision there has been a further tightening of the schol astic standards i n every way, until today they represent the h ighest point ever attained by this college. B efore we finish, it behooves u s to make two further remarks. With i n the page, of this book, there are occasional spots where t h e col lege w its have bu bbled forth i n good n atured nonsense. There i s always the pos sibility that some idle word , carelessly flung forth may ran kle i n another' s b reast, a barbed fest, acid tipped. We tr ust that this will n o t be so and that all will take the f u n i n the spirit i n which it was meant. The second i s a wei ghtier matter. There i s m uc h unj ust criti cism of the ORACLE every year and many clamors for a b etter year book. Y et while half the college yells for a better book, the other half dashes madly for the treasurer' s office to have it str icken from the term b i l l . Not yet has the m i llen i u m descended upon the banks of the Kennebec and Ye E d itor, hav ing wrestled m i ghtily with the problem of p r i nting a book on hot a i r a nd prom i ses, assures you that it can't be done. If the students of Colby wou ld have a better annual, then they m u st support the ed itors now put forth . Four years are gone. We have seen Colby grow, we have learned to l ove her and better still to l i ve her. Someth i n g of her great maternal spirit has come to rest with each of us and deep within the i nnermost recesses of our souls, there is something not there before. As the years increase so may her service and her glories grow.

A P P R E CI A T I O N The O RACLE wishes to thank t h e facu lty f o r their aid a n d suggestions. The O RACLE appreciates greatly the sup port rendered by the i r adver tisers. The E DITOR wishes to thank the members of h i s board and the students for their co-operation that made this O RACLE possible.

Senior Class History Many years ago when this college wa young and not yet tainted by the ordeals of modern youth a Colby graduate was viewing with admira tion the glory that was Greece. Coming upon the Delphian slopes of Mount Parn assu he found an anc ient individual, who had come under Appollo's divine i nspiration. The graduate a ked him i n his mesmeric trance what would be the greatest class to graduate from Colby. Thi· the reply : "Thi mundane sphere shall swing four time in its inevitable circuit round Apollo' dominion. Time shall be wift i n it flight. The accomp lishment of their first three years hall become but as yesterday 's. Real i stic and vivid shall be the memorie of chasti sements received and �has tisements admin istered . The meekness of the year when sans authority, sans respect, sans all, they shall answer to the beck and call of others ; the µomp of the year when swollen with authority and pride they shall issue mandatory decrees to their successors, they hall never forget. " Then shall they stand on the world's threshold. The routine accomp lishments, control of campus organ izations and publications they shall do well i ndeed. B ut these deeds are ephemeral, for they shall have but toiled t.o perfect themselves for life's great adven tu re. Verily, they shall leave their mark stamped indelibly u pon the college life to come. For in this class shall be the founders of the dramatic soc iety, Powder and Wig ; the origin ators of J unior Week E nd, and the n ucleus of Colby 's champion football team. So with present promi se and wealth of the future beyond the eye' s scope s h a l l they g o forth i nto life, striving to make t h i s world a bigger a n d .l.:1etter place, that by their success Old Colby shall be proud of having fos tered them." This i s now our history . The future is sti ll the prophecy. O u rs, the fulfilling.

S enior Class History

Ju t glance back i nto the land-that-used-to-be ! A dark, foggy night, the footbridge N orth Vassalboro, oysters, cake, and milk, and even the co-eds. To the raucou blare of the saxophone's screeching and "No Won der," '28 made its first appearance. Spring came. We spent hours on the athletic field; went to ch u rch, to classes, to movies, to d ances, to innu mer able picnics . We sacrificed our pride and with quaking knees yelled, "Fi re! fire ! " for Professor Libby until the ch apel walls fai rly trembled ! Then the temperatu re rose to at least 1 10; we stru ggled through fi n als, and actually bel i eved it when someone i nformed us that we were on e-fourth educated. September came and with i t the rea lization that we were beginning to grow· u p . It was a rather deadening feeling, but i n spite of our cynicism we managed to win the volleyball, soccer, and tennis championships. Ivy Day Pageant , Glee Club, dramatics, Echo and Col biana , claimed our mem bers. J un iors at last-even to the blazers and the famous junior week-end . D u r i n g t h e entire year w e h a d a mania for collecti n g things, n o t only championsh i ps and Phi B etes, but also several fraternity pins, and a great many black marks ! Suddenly, somehow, it was fall a gain, and we were seniors. We posed for hours on the third floor of Coburn, we gave our annual support to the Men's Glee Club concert, and we sat up late i nto the n i ght cramming for those greatly d esired A's. A few baseball gam es, the gym m eet, a prom or two, and Commencement was over ! Yes over , except for dreams and memories. J u st glance back into the land-that-used-to-be, and shed a s ilent tear or two ! " N o Wonder ! "

Junior Class History We of '29 are now facing our last years in the Halls of our Alma Mater. We have changed much since we first trod the campus walks i n the {$arb of the verdant Frosh and su rrendered oursel.ves to the power of Phi Chi. Colby has done much for us, she has helped us to grow, to increase i n capac i ties and capabil ities. We are Colby men and we hope that we will conti nue to be true Colby men through this last year that rema ins before us and after we have passed out through the Portals of our College. As Fresh men, Sophomores, and Juniors we have tried to carry on the ideals and traditions of those who have preceded us. Our men have answered the call of Mother Colby to the full extent of their abilities and have tried to make the name of Colby shine out above all others.

Sophomore Class History With the possible exception of the outgoing Senior c class, the c lass of 1 930 is undoubtedly the most remarkable clas that ever attended Colby Col lege. In athletics, in the classroom and on the campus we are well represented. Our members have brought honor to their c lass i n all branches of college activities. We demonstrated our superiority over the Freshmen on "B loody Monday Night. " I n order to encourage the entering class i n their college work we permitted them to hold their banquet u nmo l ested. Now that contests between the two classes are over we will content ourselves by l i v i ng the li fe of dignified college men. We are ready, how ever, at all times to give the Frosh our advice on all subj ects when such may be needed.

So phom ore Class History B ea uty, brains and b rawn, these are attributes of the class of 1 930. W e abound i n ath letes, P h i B etes, m usicians, actresses, and a uthors. Other c lasses may c l a i m these accomplishments to a l esser degree, but there i s one c haracteristic which 1 930 can exclus i vely call her own. T hat i s the spirit of true friend l i ness, an absence of rivalry and friction between small groups or c liques. We are u n ited by a bond of common tastes and interest, a n example of the true Colby S p i r it. O u r freshman year was a p eriod of exper i ment, adj ustment, and . ervitude ; our sophomore year, a period of p rogress, inspiration, and i nst ruction. We a re confident that as J u n iors, our accomplishments will be sti l l more m a nifold, and that as S en iors, we shall attain the fulfill ment of all that the preced ing years portended. A s the shining light of 1 930 i s the product of the i n d ividual scintil lations of its members, we expect great deeds of our classmates. In future years, we w i l l be proud to return to Colby under the banner of the i ll u stri ous class of 1 930.

Freshman Class History How fortunate indeed were the uppercla smen in "Joe" Colby's Insti tution when the C lass of 1 93 1 en tered into the curriculum of studies, ath letics, and other activities of Colby College. The uppercla smen may wel l be proud to have such an add ition to their ranks, as the w en of 1 9 3 1 have the potentialities of making an outstanding c lass i n Colby H istory. We were warmly received by the Sophomores on B loody Monday n i ght. We showed great possibil ities during the football and fall track season s. Immediately after the football season, while the Sophomores were slumbering peac efu l ly i n their beds, we p u lled off our banquet in U nity and then returned to awaken the Sophomores to the realization of the fact that we had "put one over on them . " W e are confident that each year w l l increase o u r abilities a n d make u s an outstanding c lass i n Colby.

such as enter i n g H edman H al l in search of the treasurer' s office, but now we have learned to conduct ourselves properly as "co-eds" and have won great success i n our studies and "steadies".

Owing to the fact that our

class i s so well represented at all soc ial functions of the college, we are con vinced that we take all the honors i n pop ularity.

DONALD H OBBS MILLETT CLYDE LYFORD MANN . C H ARLES PEM BROKE NELSON LA WREN CE ASA PEAKES

From the standpoint of experience gai ned through actual i ntercollegi ate debating for the greatest po sible number, with the aim rather of afford ing each contestant opportun ity to debate against a team from a n other institution, the eason was highly successful . S trong teams from the Univer ity of Maine, B oston University. and the Uni versity of New Ham pshire were met at Waterville, Colby winning over the last named team . Colby debaters j ourney ed to the University of Maine, University of Vermont Middlebury College, and Ma · � achusetts A gricultural College, winning from Vermont, losing to the others by one vote only i n each case. I n every debate, veterans were teamed with new aspi rants for forensic honors, thu insuring an adequate force of experienced debaters for another season. D. H. M i llett, L. K . Lord, and Arthur Levine, by excellent work i n this field won the right to repre ent Colby at the convention of Pi Kappa Delta, n ational honorary forensic society, held this year at Hei dleburg College, Tiffin, Ohio.

Football ReviewLast fall, t h e football training session u sually held at t h e State Y . M .

C . A . Camp was cond ucted o n the campus, where ten days were spent i n

cond ition ing, s ignal practice and blackboard drill . Colby's prospects for h av i n g a successful season were very bright as only four men were lost by grad uation from the previous team . A fter a brief period of p reparation the season opened w ith the Wesleyan game at M i ddletown . Superior line play and an elusive backfield combined to give the Blue and Gray team a 1 3-0 yictory in this fi rst game which d isclosed that Colby had m aterial for an outstanding team . The n ext game was played with the U n i versity of New Hampshire in Waterville on October 1st. Handicapped by m id-su m mer h eat and h igh h u m i d ity , the teams battled to a scoreless t i e . T h e Roundymen outplayed t h e visitors i n every department of the contest, b u t lacked the n ecessary scoring drive. Colby received her fi rst defeat from the hands of B oston U n i ver ity on O ctober 8th . In a thrilling game c haracterized by rough play, the Terriers defeated the White Mule by a 1 3-0 count. B oston University scored i n the second and fou rth quarters and by playing steady football halted every thrust that the B l u e and Gray team made. The Norwich game, to be played m Northfield on O ctober 1 5th, was cancelled due to the u nti mely death of Pres i dent Roberts. The second, and which later proved to be the m ost dis astrous Colby defeat, came the following Saturday at B runswick. B owdoi n took advantage of the b reaks, which she received in undue p roportions, and won by a 1 3- 7 score. Colby played superior football, but was u nable to cope with the hand which fate dealt her. This game, the second victory for B owdoin in as many years, proved to be the stumbling block for Colby's undisputed claim as state champions. The n ex t week, Colby m ade up for the B owdoin defeat by handing Maine a severe whi tewash i n g. The Maine B ear, with its m u c h praised eleyen came to Waterville with i ntentions of defeating Colby by a greater score than i t had h u mbled B ates by a week p revious. This same B ear returned to Orono a battered and torn beast covered w ith Mule p r ints. O nc e m ore, and by a 1 7-0 tune, the Roun dy-coached eleven had thrown a wrench i nto the polished B rice m ac h i ne. Colby defeated the Newport Trai n i n g S chool i n a one-sided contest on the n ext Saturday. E very man o n the B l ue and Gray squad saw service i n this game, and i t was not until the final period when the entire third team was on the field that the sailors managed to score. This game acted as a. good practice session for the B ates gam e to be played on Arm istice Day. The Blue and G ray team entered the B ates game a heavy favorite, but needed a v ictory to tie the U ni versity of Maine team for the state cham pionship. Severns Field was transformed i nto a field of m u d by rain and .- now which fell before and throughout the contest. This wet field was a n aid to the heavier B ates team, but Colby w a s not to be d e n i e d a n d scored twice while each B ates driye was halted by the B l ue and Gray tea m . I n the oast football season Colby defeated B ates and Maine and outplayed B ow d oin. The d i sastrous B owdoin defeat, however, k e p t t h e C o l b y t e a m from a clear title as state champions.

C olby B aseball Season, 1927 Coach Roundy i ssued the first call for baseball candi dates F ebruary 24. Ten p itchers and four catchers reported. The battery p rospects looked good, with Danny S ha nahan, who had had a lot of varsity exper ience, out for catcher, and Traynor, H eal, and A nderson, all of whom were veterans, as candidates for the hurling staff. B rown, a Freshman, also ap peared to have the makings of a real p itcher. The other candidates reported the fol lowing week . The filling of the tield i n g positions p resented itself as a real problem. With the exception of Capt a i n Smart at third, John O ' Brien at short, M c Donald at second, and Callaghan in the outfield, the positions had to be filled by new materi al . The fi rst exh i b ition game was played a t Waterville o n April 1 9 , with the U n i versity of Maine. Colby was defeated 6 to 1. The starting l i neup was : Shanahan, catcher ; Traynor, p itcher ; E ri ckson, first base ; Mc Don ald, second base ; Capt. Smart, third base ; O ' B rien, short stop ; N iz iolek, left field ; Callaghan, center field ; Baldwin, left fiel d . Anderson, M c Lean, H eal, D avis and K l usick also saw action i n the game. The second exh ibition game, played with B owdoin at B runswick, was won by Colby, 2 to 1. The game was played i n a rain stor m . Colby got away to a good start, scori ng twice i n the first two i n ni ngs, and held this lead throughout the game. This gam e was the start of the southern trip, which was very suc cessful, Colby taking three out of fi ve games played . The second game was played w ith Rhode Island State College. This game was· called in the fifth on account of rai n . Colby took this game, 3 to 1 . Colby d ropped the third game o f the trip tt> Providence College, 7 t o 4 . The next game, Colby won from Wesleyan, 4 to 2 . The whole Colby outfit worked wel l , with H eal goin g exceptionally well in the box. The folio\ i n g d ay Colby lost i t s second game of t h e t r i p to Tufts by a score o f 3 t o 2 . Colby out-hit Tufts, but failed to connect with t h e b a l l w h e n h its were needed. Colby won only one game in the State Series, b u t i n spite of th i s ap parently poor show i n g, the season was far from being a fail u re, for a wealth of n ew m aterial was developed , and the team showed improvement in every game. Maine took the fi rst game from Colby at O rono by a score of 7 to 3. Costly errors and the heavy h itting of the B ates men gave the next game to B ates, 10 to 3 . The followi ng week at B runswick, Colby won, 5 to 2 . The game was played i n a downpour, but i n spite of the adverse conditions both teams played excellent ball . B owdoin took the second game played at Waterville. Farrington ' s pitching was too much for Colby, and they lost, 6 to 4 . The game was marked by free h itting on both sides. The fastest game of the season was p layed at Lewiston . This gam e ran twelve i n n i ngs, and was taken by B ates w ith a score of 6 to 5 . Colby took a lead of four runs, but was unable to hold it. This was the final gam e of the sea son, for the game to h ave been played w ith the U n iversity of Maine was cancelled because of i nc lement weather.

From last year's team Coach Ryan had only three men with which to build his cross-country team. They were Allen, Johnston , and Rivki n . B ut with the add ition of Sansone, Towne, Harlow, and Th ornton , a well balanced team was turned out. The first meet of the year was with Tufts over the Colby course on October 2 1 st. Colby had l ittle t rouble defeating Tufts. The first fi:ve runners to cross the tape were Colby r u nners. San sone, H arlow, and Towne fin ished in a triple tie for first place. Allen was followi ng them closely while Johnston was only a few yards behind h i m . T h i s w a s t h e first t i m e i n cross-country history that Colby c a m e through with a perfect score.

For the second time in as many weeks, Colby triumphed over her op ponents i n the field of track, and incidentally the meet was decided by a one-point margin in each case. After Colby had lost every place in the 1 00yard and 220-yard dashes and acqu ired only one point i n the 440-yard dash, "Mike" Ryan's proteges cleaned up in the broad j u mp and pole vault and scored enough unexpected points i n the h u rdles and distance runs to c i nch the meet.

F rom a l a rge group of aspirants, the four le tter men of the preceding season were chosen to represent Colby i n tenn i s for the season of 1927.

The 1 9 :IB hockey s e a s o n was o n e o f the most successful i n the history of that sport a t Colby College. The tea m , under the leadershi p of Capt. Richard E.

A wea lth of n e w m at e r i a l was brought to l ight by Coach Roundy and A ssistant Coach M i l lett and the p rospects f o r next season are exceedingly b right. The team p l a y ed a schedule of seven games, vvi n n i ng t h ree, l osjng three and tying one. The first match was a S tate Series game with B ates, played at Lewiston. Colby won this game 2 to l. The feature of the game was the w i n n i n g goal , made by Stur hahn, unassisted, i n the fourth overtime period.

Prospects for a 1:'.trong F reshman fc-0tball team looked very br ight when the squad reported to oach F rank Good rich for their first practice sessi on i n spite of the fact that many promising· pl ayers were kept from the squad due to their i nability t o meet entrance requirements. The yearl ings o pened t he i r season at Waterville o n October 8 <'I n d in this opening encounter fumbled their way to defeat. B ri dgton A cademy scoret..i early and then stayed each a ttack of the inexperienced B l ue and G!·ay team to win by a 6-0 score. Two weeks l a ter an improved fi rst year team crashed through the l ine of the H ig gins Classical I n stitute team for five touchdowns and won by a 35-7 c ount. This game disclosed the fact that there were seve ral players of varsity calibre o n the F reshma11 �quad. 011 November 5 the F reshmen nosed out the Coburn " I ron Men" by a 1 4 - 1 2 c-0u n t. This w a s the first t i m e tha t a Colby first-year t e a m h a d defeated a Coburn team on the gridiron. The prep school presented a fast outfit, but superior line play on the part of the Colby team was responsible for the B l ue and Gray victory. The Coburn game ended a very successful Freshman season. A s many of the> Va rsity squad will be l ost by graduation a great op portunity for these F reshmen on next year's varsity �quad will be afforded .

DAYS

Men,s C olby Night O n Friday even ing, October 28, over fi v e hu ndred students, alumni, faculty members, and friend of Colby gathered in the Colby gymnasiu m f o r t h e annual observance o f Colby N ight . T h e meeting w a s presided over by Professor H. C. Libby, who i n his brief open ing remarks explained the hi story and p u rpose of this famous Colby i nstitution, and paid a splendid tribute to two men who had given their l ives to this college, and without ' horn Colby Night could not be the same. D octor Taylor was asked to pay additional homage to Presi dent Roberts and Doctor Marquardt, and he responded with remarks which showed how much his association with these true Colby men means to him. H e showed how these two men , born under d ifferent flags, and heirs to so many d ifferent qualities, had nevertheless, one outstanding characteristic in common-that of i ntense loyalty to d uty. Frederick R. Dyer, '98, of Portland, gave an inspirational talk, and said, "Whatever you do, don't q u it." Leon C . Guptil, '09, of B oston, brought a message from Colby al umni all over the worl d . C. G . B rooks, ' 9 8 , encouraged the team a n d student body, a n d reminded them that a team which would not be beat could not be beat.

Other speakers were : Ralph N. Good , ' 1 0 ; Prof. E. C. Marriner, ' 1 3 ; Herbert E . Wadsworth, '92 ; D r . T. B . Ashcraft ; Freshman Coach Frank Goodrich ; " D oc " E dwards ; Coach Ry an ; and Assistant Coach Millett ; all of whom gave fine speeches and encou raged the team. Captain John E ri ckson , i n behalf of the team, promised that it would do its best for. Colby on the morrow. Coach Eddie Roun dy was the last speaker of the evening, and although he i s not given to making rash statements, he q uietly said, "We expect to w i n , " thereby bringing j oy to the hearts of his attentive audience. The Colby Band furn ished music and at the close of the meeting recei ved uproarious applause. " Chef" Weymouth's welcome hail of "Come and get it" was also well received, and a feed of san dwiches, doughn uts, ice c ream, and apples q u ickly disappeared .

Miss Alice M . P u r i n gton , '99, treas rer of the Alumnae B uilding Fund, then gave us encour aging n ews towar s the reality of our new gym and eq uipment. Owing to the generosity of friends and alumnae, the goal of $ 1 00,000 had been nearly reached. She expressed the sincere appreciation felt by all Colby women for the generous gift of 25,000 by Miss Florence E. D u n n . M i s s E d n a T u rk i n gton , ' 2 8 , bequeathed to t h e u nderclassmen the unfinished task and urged everyone to contrib ute to the b u ilding fund.

She made us real ize t h e loyal Colby s p i r i t and enthusias m o f the Alumnae w h o were as eager as we to "boost t h e gym . " T h e clas s songs were an i nteresting part o f the evening's entertain ment. Miss M u riel Farnham , '30, sang, accompanied by Miss Muriel San born, ' 2 9 .

( A ir : "Flow Gently Sweet Afton" ) When mellow the sun pour its gold o'er the hi lls, And softly a silent olemnity fills The spaces that knew once the cries of the day ; The soul then as surely gl ides softly away On pinions of thought down the aisles of the past, Till lands of old memories, u nfolding at last, Inviting the soul that is weary to rest, Give promise of hope in the infinite quest. These i vy-kissed walls so endearing i n youth, Still rear in the realm where sweet fancy i s truth , And never a friendship of classmate but l i ves, And neyer the l ove of a college but gives Some measure to beauty, some drop to the flood, Some grain to eternity's infinite good. Though T ime, i n its passing shall level thy walls, Dear Colby, we'll find thee in Memory 's halls. Oration Award ing of H onors MUSIC

Arthur Jeremiah Roberts " Wh a t do>tli t he L o rd requ ire o f t h e , b u t t o d o j us t ly , t o lO'Ve mercy, to walk h u m bly with t h y G o d. ? "

How truly these words of the Old Testament prophet apply to Arthu r O ut of the sorrow that has stricken all hearts at his passing, comes the u n i versal exp ression of gratitude for his deyoted life. With President Roberts j u s tice was a passi on. H i s frequently reiterated phrase, " E very boy m ust h ave h is day in court, " became a by-word at Colby . N o automatic rules for h i m . E very case m ust be treated on its individual merits, with the welfare of the i n d i vidual and of the group always i n m i n d . " We are here to save boys, n ot to condemn t he m , " was no idle platitude with h i m . H e l i ved every word of it. S o it came about that the h u n d reds of young men and women who were students at Colby during his administration learned to know h i m a s a man of j ustice. B ut his j ustice was tem pered with mercy. H e would not let h i mself forget that these college youths were after all somebody's boys and girls entrusted to h is c are, and for whom, at a critical period of their l ives he stood in loco pa ren t is. H e was a father to these Colby boys, and a father forgives. Like a wise father, h e knew when to stand firm, but he also knew that j ustice without mercy m ay turn into no j ustice at all. And the q ual ity of his mercy was not strained. "Like the gentle rain from heaven , " it fell on all alike. Thus the i mpartiality of his mercy became the h i ghest j ustice. P resident R oberts wal;trnd h u mbly w i th his God. H e took his religion seriously. N o mere seyenth d ay C hristian was he, but one who worked every day at the task of following the Man of Nazareth. It has been fit tingly said of him that "to President R oberts religion was a matter of hands and feet as well as of head and heart." His Chri sti an belief found tangible expression i n Christian conduct. B u t he made n o parade of his C hristian ethics. H e walked h u mbly with h i s God . H � was no n arrow d ogmatist. He p reached and p ractised a gospel that appealed alike to P rotestant, Catholic, and H ebrew ; for students of all three faiths listened with equ al appreciation to his memorable c hapel talks-those beautiful sermonettes that were gems both of rel i gion and of literature. To some of us, was given the rare privilege to know President Roberts, both as his student and his faculty associate. I n b oth relationships we found the same u n derstanding sympathy, the same i mpressive p ersonality. the same sense of dominant leadersh i p . H ere was a man we would follow to the end, knowi ng that he led w ith wisdom and w ith u n failing apprecia tion of h i s subord inates. As future sons of Colby look u pon the Pepper por trait of President Roberts, and as they see the v i gorous cant of the m a nly head, the firm set of the j aw, the fi xity of the lips, they will say, " Here was a man of decision an d tenacity . " Then they will l ook i nto those deep, k i ndly, u nderstanding eyes, and there they will see the real "Rob " whom we knew and loved so well-the man who d i d j ustly and l oved m ercy a n d walked h um bly w ith h i s God. E R NEST C . MARRI NER,

. T eremiah R oberts, t h e fou rteenth president of Colby College.

The OutlawI am an outlawed man, Here in the desert alone ; Under the Law's Black Ban, My only pi llow a . tone. Above, the red stars gleam With a rad iance, marvelously mild, B ut cold is their sheen on the desert scene And the desert's foster child. Two thi ngs have I loved through l ife, They have placed me beyond man's ken ; They have served me for fam ily and wife ; I will follow them unto the end. They have placed me beyond the lines, That are laid down for men l ike me ; The sound of the wind in the pi nes, And the siren song of the sea. Why sit I thus apart, I n this land of E ternal Gray ? Lord of my lonely heart, No will save mine to obey. Trespassed against the Law ? 'Tis writ in the B ook of Fate, Some men m ust liye in the raw, And some mu st serve th e State. What have I missed of Life ? Of l ove and laughter and glee ? Who have made the desert my wife ? And married myself to the sea ? For me is the fireside banned ; And the warmth and cheer of home. My bed is the desert sand ; My roof is heaven's dome. Why roam I th us, afield ? Come O utlaw, speak thy cause ! My spirit could not yield, To the bond of man-made Laws . Two things have cried to me, Thrilled me like potent wines ; The siren song of the sea, The sound of the wind in the pines. I ventured a bit astray, Smooth was the way and free ; With a heart that was l i ght and gay, In ships, I went down to the sea,

B ut, l ike the fl i gh t of the c:wallow As homeward it w i n gs to its nest, S o the hand of the law could follow, A n d clutch at my burning b reast ; W ith the brand of Ishmael upon me, Far i nto the desert, I fled ; Di orced from my love, the sea, My l o e, the d esert, I wed. H ere in the hotbed of H elldom, I n the m idst of eternal expanse, My soul has rej oiced i n Freedom, Though it followed the deyil s dance. I make n o single plea I hate a dog that whines ; Two things-the song of the sea And the ound of the wind i n the pines. I hope I hall d i e as I live With the desert vast for m y bier ; I shall need not p riest to shrive ; I have only God to fear. And the ulture hall tear m y heart, E re my tongue has ceased its m oan s ; And the kindly desert will part With the sand to cover m y bones. C . E . W . '28 . _

My thoughts filled my head with an opal fire, And I ang so gay and free That Life came bounding up the slope To pay h is court to me. H igh, high on the crest of that cloud-kissed hill We sat close-Life and I ; We looked on the roofs of thousand towns From our place i n the upper sky. We talked-I forgot the things I had heard Of him and his love for strifeLif e gave me a smile, a squeeze, and a kiss, And I fell in love with Life. At dusk we cl imbed down to the town of cou1 se, I was Life's in heart and soul! dreamed of Life when I cru mbled my bread That night, i n my sky-blue bed. I waited next day, but he didn't come ( B ut of course it was pouring rai n ) Still I watched for a letter, some token a t least, Till my cheek grew cold on the pane. H e never came.-1 buried my pride : I stood in the market place, B ut Life went by on the other side, B l i n d to my tear-wet face. Then I grew bitter, hated Life, I wondered how I could l iye. "I'll think no m ore of that fickle cad, He m ust beg before I give. That's over," I said-And yet today I climbed to my hill, and when Life had come bounding up the slopes, I fell i n love again .

Dee p River By J O H N A . C H ADWICK Old Nell dropped into her rickety chair with an oath. The air of the room was heavy with the smoke of cheap tobacco and the odor of l iq uor. S he stared through the blue haze with a glare that was worse than malevo lent. Sitting on the edge of a broken-down bed, across the room from her, was her husband, Joe, a lazy, shiftless negro, with a scarred lip. He returned her g a z e w i t h interest, his l i ps drawn b a c k f r o m his brown teeth in a half snar l . ' 'Yo' a n ' yo' d a m n religinning," he said, " a m s h o ' h e l l to l ib wif. N igger, yo' got no chance · to ebber see hebben . Yo's so rotten yo's a lasten year's aig. " "Yeh ? Who made yo' de A ngel Gabril's pregnosticater ?

Yo's my woman, an' once yo' ferget it dar'll be two busted haids, yo'n a n ' his'n. Undesta n ' ?" Old Nell's l i ps framed a sharp reply, but a gli mpse of the l ight i n her h u sband 's eyes warned her that silence was safer. She lifted her weight from the s uffering chair and set about p reparin g the e vening meal, mut ter ing under her breath the while she did so. As she worked, a fragment of melody i ssued from her hardly moving li ps, melody peculiar to her race : " D ee p River, Lord A h ' m gwine to cross ; D eep R i ver, Lord A h ' m gwine to c ross. " S h e thought of M uscat as she had seen h i m the day before, leaning against a cottonwood, while his horse and wagon stood nearby. She pic tured with d elight his great physique, saw with pleasure the ri pple of hia m uscles u nder his skin whenever he made the sl ightest m ovement, sensed h i s n at ural good humor whenever he met her, admired the glistening

wh iteness of h i s teeth when he smi led . M u scat might be somebody else's man, but nobody could stop old Nell from admiring him. Her thoughts went back to Joe. Whatever had possessed her to come to him when she was a girl ? He wa good-natured, but he never worked hard enough to keep them in comfortable c redit at the com pany tore. But yet, she had wanted to get away from her father and mother. She had longed for freedom. Joe seemed o easy that she had packed her few possessions over to his shack, and announced blandly that she was "his'n.'-' He had accepted her calmly that n ight, thirty years ago, but as they h ad grown old, he became more and more difficult to live with, because of the "bossiness" which he displayed. Imagine him, tinking that she would play around with that young buck, Mu cat ; huh, what a foolish notion. The very humor of it made her chuckle i n the m idst of her singing. Joe looked u p at the sound. Hi face turned a shade darker. "Woman, i s yo' laffin ' at me ? Eff en yo' i , I'll smash yo' quick." He half rose, to make good hi threat, but Old Nell pacified him with a hasty lie. "Go long with yo' fool ishizing. What's funny ' bout yo' ? " When t h e last scrap o f cornpone and meat h a d been prepared and di sposed of, Old Nell left the slump-sided table. "Ah'm gwine down to de swampfire," she said, "Comin' ?" The only answer was a snore from Joe. " Jest l ike a hawg, " she thought, "he goes to sleep when he's fed . " S h e stepped o u t i nto t h e deepening dusk. Along the little winding street of the shack village, o ther black folk were picking their way. I n t h e distance a faint r e d glow w a s visible above t h e trees. T h e swampfire had been already l ighted. Old Nell went along the street to the levee, climbed the mound, and once on top stopped to l isten to the lapping of the water on the other side. Old Man M ississipp' was still rising, she m used ; lots of rain u p north made him swell fit to bu sten him self. He was - su re a devil when angry. And what that dev il could do when he broke loose. Only thing would satisfy him was a sacri fice, uh-hm, a sacrifice was what he wanted. Those fool niggers of the settlement had planned the swampfire. to --chrorm- the old r iver devil, but " 'twould do no good . " Old Nell had. not learned t6 read omens for nothing. The river dev il would j ust have to have a sacrifice before he would go down. Wish Joe would take it into his head to fall off the levee tomorrow, and feed the devil. She could get along without him. The slapping water was music to the thought. She struggled out of her reverie, and got to her feet once more. She felt a thrill go through her old bones at the thought of the struggle for mastery between the r iver and the levee crews. On the one side was the s u l len power, contend i ng with the cheerfu l industry of the men on the other. On entering the swam p, she heard the voices of the revelers, singing and shouting. Unconsciously, she agai n began singing :

" D eep river, Lord, A h ' m gwine t o cross . " A t u rn i n t h e path showed h e r t h e clearing around t h e fi re. The 'vVavering l i ght played over half-naked dancers and singers. A gai nst a backgrou n d of night and shadows, all shivering in the flickering l i ght, the watchers stood , clapping their hands i n time to the music. S uddenly the dancing stopped, and all those n ear the fire dropped on their knees. I n the center of the group a girl stood alone. Clad in a s i ngle l ight garment, she swung i nto a slow dance, while the others began a croon ing song, which breathed the essence of the j ungle. No other sound was heard but the song, rising and fa lling i n a waili ng, m i nor key. The dancer wove her way sed uctively in and out among the kneeling forms, her body q uivering and trembling i n the m ovements of the dance. With head held high, her long lashes half h i d i n g her eyes, her pearl-like teeth flashing in the firel i ght ' s glow, she seemed a creature from another world. The song and dance grew faster. Men's faces began to show the glow of passion. A feel ing of power electrified the air. Old Nell became aware of a m a n resting agai nst a tree nearby. I t took but a glance t o prove i t M uscat. H e was leaning slightly forward, his eyes devouring every movement of the dancer. H i s breath came i n short gasps from between h i s half-closed l i ps . W ithout warning, h e strode i nto the firelight, ca ught up the dancer, who giggled hysterically at h i s daring, passed u nhindered through t h e grou p and d i sappeared towards the levee and the road back to the shanties. A hot wave of anger swept over Old Nell. So, he wanted that l ittle brat for his mate, did he, with her saucy ways and lack of respect for her elders. And then Old Nell realized the ugly truth. She loved M uscat. She, a n old woman , loved a boy of about twenty-three. The thought of any other woman sharing his couch was too m uc h for her. The dancers, after laughing at the capture, went o n with their merriÂ ment. A new girl had taken the first one's place. Old Nell sli pped back the way she had come. What should she do ? She couldn't have h i m ? Well, nobody could, then . That l ittle fool would not enj oy his caresses i f Old Nell could help i t . She became aware of a shape, w a l k i n g a l o n g before her i n t h e gloom. H e r eyes made it out to be M u scat, sti l l holding his prize, lest it escape h i m i f he s e t it d o w n . Old N e l l ' s a nger blazed t o white heat, and slipping i nto the brush at the side of the road, she scurried ahead, until s he reached a point on the levee by which the man with his burden must pass . Through the n ight she heard the voice of someone, singing at the fire : " Deep river, Lord, Ah'm gwine to cross . " And as t h e words became a p parent to h e r , s h e grinned. Two fools were going to cross the deep river that n ight, if she had her way . The crunch of M uscat 's foot u pon a patch of gravel warned her of h i s nearness. Poising herself, she waited . The man and h i s b urden came o pposite Nell's h i d i ng place.

With a

crazy scream, she j u mped forward, with her two hands outstretched, to push him over the eighteen-foot drop into the river. If she could not have him, only the river devil could. Mu scat, warned by some intuition, stepped back quickly as the shadow hurtled at him from the brush . Old Nell fai led to strike her mark. The force of her rush carried her to the edge and over the levee. A second scream, this time of fear, rang out. A faint splash, and M uscat was once more alone with his mate . The dancers, hearing the screams, checked their merriment, and hearing nothing further, accepted without question the assertion of an old crone that the river devil was satisfied, and went on with their dancing. I n the morni ng, the river level had dropped a foot, and was still going down. The river devil was appeased.

B y Act of G o d By S . B . A NDERSON, 2 N D L e m Hendricks left t h e office of the Henderson County Journal, crossed the street, and entered a ramshackle old b u i ld i ng, which bore an ancient and d i lapidated s ign above its u n pai nted door. The s ign announced to a somewhat skeptical public that the b u i ld i ng of which it formed a part wa: "Pa Winters' General Store." Lem, the one and only reporter of h i f: father's weekly paper, w a s i n q uest of n e w s . Upon entering the store, h e took off h i s coat, and i nq u ired of t h e com pany i n general i f a n y event o f sufficient i m portance t o be recorded had recently occurred . After asking this, h i s daily q uestion, he drew u p a chair, seated himself, and placed hi� feet on an iron railing which surrounded a n ol d-fash ioned stove, of the type usually found i n country stores. P a Winters leaned back another inch i n his already dangerously t i lted, cane-bottomed seat, slowl y scrutinizized the faces of his two v i s itors, "Colonel" Thom pson and D eputy Sheriff Hank Jones, and after several m i n utes of deep s i lence, replied : "Well, now, come to think of it, I reckon they aint nothing s pec ial happened around here lately as you don't know about. I reckon you know the sheriff got that warrant out for J edge M orse this morn i n '. A n d believe me, it's about time, too. J ust because he's a j udge aint no reason why he ought not to go to j ai l . Why, the gran d j ury i n d icted him a week ago, and old Tom Carrol, too. Old Tom ' s in j ai l , where h e belongs, but Morse has been runnin' around h e r e like a c h icken with his head cut off, the d irty swind ler . " After com pleting this soliloquy, Pa drew out a plug of tobacco and a sta ined and rusted pocket-knife. F i rst c utting h i m self a l i beral "chew , ' ' he passed the plug to the Colonel, who, because of the fact that h e was one-armed, bit off h i s "wad . " T h e Colonel was a white-haired o l d gentleman, with long whi skers covering the greater part of his face . T h e whiskers a r o u n d h i s m outh were of a r usty brown shade, evi dently caused by tobacco j uice. I n th<} l a pel of h i s coat was a button, which i n d icated that he was a wounded veteran of the Confederate army, while a medal wh ich he wore as a watch c h a r m announced that he w a s t h e last survivor of H enderson, Tennessee's contribution to the cause of the Confederacy. Although he assumed the title of " Colonel , " the town and c o u nty of Henderson were well aware of the fact that it was c h iefly honorary, his original rank having been that of corporal. But the town and county of H enderson were convinced of the fact that the Colonel was a hero of no m ean q uality, having heard his own account of how h e had lost his arm i n the battle of Shiloh. Often he had walked over to the battle fields, some four m i les d istant, and shown i ncred ulous listeners the very s pot where his arm had fallen before the saber of none other than General Grant h i m self. I n addition to being Henderson's last surviving Confederate veteran, the Colonel, for forty years, had been her mayor, and was now retired at half pay, that i s , t h i rty dollars a m onth . B ut the Colonel's political career

C LE

was by no means over. But three days before, he had delivered a scorching speech agai nst the "B lack Republicanism" that, he claimed, was "grasping i n its bloody gri p the fair cou nty of Henderson." But his speech had been in vain. The Republicans had elected the state representative, and for the fir t time in its history, Democracy had met defeat i n Henderson County. Colonel Thom pson , who, de pite h i s age, was the county boss, had been defeated. As a result, his opinions of the Republican party could not be recited i n the Hender on County Journal , despite the sincerity i n w h i c h they were gi ven . The Colonel, having bit off his "chew," and having passed the plug to Hank and Lem, add res ed Pa Winter : " You remember, Silas, how I said them two boys wouldn't never ' mount to nothing. Their pa's was a couple of carpet-bagging Yankee ; and they aint no better. I never woul<l a put none of my money in any bank them two crooks had a nything to do with. Thank God, old Jedge Scott i a good Democrat. Them two RepubÂ lican boss-thieves is a gonna git plenty, yes sir." The Colonel, his face fl u shed with anger, arose, walked over to the counter for his coat, and " ' lowed" he'd be going over to the Post Office for the morn ing mail. "Got the old gent goin' kind of hot, didn't we ?" remarked Lem. "Poor old guy, I got a notion he's a bit cracked since that election, day before yesterday. He aint done nothing but cuss Republicans since then . Of course, he never did do m uch but that, but I never saw him qu ite so sore at 'em. B ut I reckon the old man's right about them swindlers. And I ' m tellin' y o u straight that they a i n t no j ury i n this county w i l l acquit that bunch . . . not after the way they busted that bank. Why, they a i n 't twelve men in the whole place that they didn't swindle, somehow or other. Old Morse beat the Senator' s brother out of three thousand dollars, and believe me, they're both sore. The Senator swore he'd have him i mpeached, or b ust. " "It shore is a wdnder they aint lynched that Morse," reflected Hank. "By gosh, if ever anybody had it com ing to him, he shore has. I reckon he'd a been dead long ago, but everybody knows he totes a gun, and he aint afraid to use it neither. He gave pore old Dad Ri sley four years for sel lin' a quart o ' whiskey, and there never was a better man than old Dad neither. Jim Risley would h ave shot Morse sure if Dad hadn't a died 'fore they sent h im up. And Jim bel ieves that Dad never would of died if it han't been for that j ail sentence h anging over h is head. Yes, sir, it's a wonder Jim didn't shoot him a year ago. Them Risleys is fine folks, but they've shot other folks before . " Hank's discourse was i nterrupted by the arrival of a newcomer, who was greeted with a trio of voices : "Did you get h im, Sheriff ?" " Yes, I got him, boys, what was left of h i m , " slowly replied the sheriff, a.s he seated h i mself in the chair left vacant by the departure of the Colonel. "I went out to his house, b ut he wasn 't there ; then I came back to town and went up to his office-but he hadn 't been up there, either, so I strolled on over towards your office, Lem. Well, I passed J i m R isley's dry goo<ls store, and there was a pretty big crowd standing around, so I went in to see what the trouble was. Well, the j udge was in there, with his head stoved in. Jim says he found him outside his store, j ust like he was, so

he'd b rought h i m i n and called the doctor, but i t was too. late. Jim said he reckoned somebody had bum ped h i m off, and that plent y of folks would have been m ighty willin' to do it. " I got J i m to show me where the body was found. It was j ust below one of J i m ' s u pstairs windows. There was a brick lying about five feet from where the body was found, and there was blood on it. Well, I went u psta irs and looked around a bit. I walked over to the wi ndow, and noticed that one. of the bricks that fitted i n on the outside of the sill was m i ssing. The brick I 'd fou n d outside fitted i n . It had been placed so that if i t got loose enough to fall, it would have fallen right where the J udge's head m ust have been , so I reckon it was a n accident. It j ust fell out of its own accord, and Morse's head ha ppened to be right smack i n the way. " B ut it sure is funny h e got ki lled j ust before I was going to arrest h i m . It couldn't h a v e been suicide, and it doesn ' t look like m u r d e r . Any way, it's a good thing for him he died when he did, because he was sure fixing to go u p the river r ight. B ut -v. hat I came over here to say is, that H a nk and Lem don't want to forget they're on the coroner's j ury, and i t m eets i n the morning . " *

Pa Wi nters and the Colonel were sitting in front of the stove, playing checkers. The Colonel beckoned a small negro boy from the inner recesses of the store, and sent him after a paper . H e returned a few min utes later with the weekly issue of the Henderson Cou nty Journal. " S ilas," said the Colonel, "if you don't pay no attention to what you're doing, they aint no sense in my fool ing with you. My gam e . " T h e Colonel r e a d t h e n ews aloud, w h i l e Pa w a s arranging t h e board : " C oroner's j ury finds J udge M orse killed by accident. In its report, given this morning, the coroner's j ury officially announced that the late J udge F. Benedict Morse was killed by 'act of God . ' This verdict was u n animous, the j u ry req uiring less than five m i n utes to reach its decision . " "You know, Colonel , " interru pted Pa, "I could tell you something m ighty funny about that, i f you'd keep your mouth shut. You know, Lem and Hank was both on that t here j ury. Well, Hank was talking 'bout Morse when you left here yestiddy. H e said i t was a wonder J i m R isley hadn't b u m ped him off long ago. Well Hank told me this morn i n ' . 'fore the j ury met, that h e knowed darn well how come that brick had fallen , but he didn't have no proof, and besides, he'd had fifty bucks in that bank h i m self. Hank hadn't been gone m ore than ten m i n u tes 'fore Lem told m e the same thing. A n d Doc White told me this morning that the sheriff felt the same way about it. " "Your move, S i las, " replied the Colonel . "And, Silas, I can tell you something m ighty funny, too. I seen that brick fall, and I seen why i t fell . It fell on Morse's h e a d j ust about fi v e m i n utes after I l eft here. I was r ight across the street when i t happened , b ut I went straight on. N o sir, S i las Winters, I aint i n terfering with no act of God . . not as long as Jim R isley votes the straight Democratic ticket, anyhow . " " I f y o u d o n ' t p a y n o attention to w h a t you're doi_ng," exclaimed Pa Winters, "they a i nt n o sense in my fool ing with you. My game."

The stage is cut diagonally by gravel path, wide enough for two persons walkin g abreast. This d iagonal c rosses from the front stage -left to the rear stage-right. B eyond the path lies a b it of smooth lawn, shrubs, and t rees. This greenery c onst itutes the background. B etween the path and the footl ights at the stage left, there is a j agged rock pile, A clipped hedge about six feet high, forms the stage right. The d i ag onal p ath p asses through this. A gigantic mushroom, front stage right, c o unterbalances the rock pile. The left center is occ u p ied by a long table set for tea. At the end n earest the h ed ge a sort o f throne i placed, obviously a seat of honor, at the oppo�ite end a smaller throne. To the left of the throne stands a large tree. B etv. een right end of the table and the path stands a rose tree ( six feet h igh ) beari n g enormous white roses. This leaves the left center free . The table is set for fourteen . The kni ves and forks are turned p oint to the table edge. The cups a re i nverted and the saucers a re perched on top of them. Flowers are thrust i n a bowl with stems u ppermost. The whole table looks very peculiar. A s the scene opens the March H are and the D ormouse, and the H atter are seated fac i n g the aud ience at the end n earest the throne.

Poof ! Q ueens are alway late. The old Queen never came till after wards. It won't make much difference if she does not come at all. We've done very well without her.

It's gi ven him a lot of fool ish ideas. HAR . : Well the Ki ng, himself, went out once, you know. I suppose he HAT. : Yes, he went out, but we got him back before he was too difficult. The Queen watches him pretty close. He doesn 't act too badly. The good , old court life is good enough for me. Educat ion-Poppy cock ! Stuff and nonsense ! By the way , the Knave is the only one who knows Alice. HAR. : I've seen her ; that is, I suppose so. I went to a party i n the next kingdom, and she was there with a lot of poor relations, so o � course, I didn't notice her.
