A HISTORICAL SKETCH OF


NATURE'S GYMNASIUM.


The old institution at Clinton possesses one advantage the value of which is inestimable. Its location is as healthful as it is charm- ing. Physical vigor is indispensible to the brainworker. " Health is the bed-plate of the mental machinery." A scholar without health is a shorn Samson. College Hill is nature's gymnasium. The College and the Hill co-operate, the one to bestow all the refine- ment of an Attic culture, with which to crown the vigor of the Spartan discipline the other furnishes. A student writes : "The College is about four thousand feet above the level of the sea and still rising. The climate is peculiar. The zephyrs which steal so gently over the land, knocking down trees, throwing cars off the track and destroying villages, come from here. They all start back of the College barn, and never go the other way." The Rev. Dr. Andrew Hull, Class of '36, in the Half-Century Letter, read three years ago, says : " I very gratefully remember the ardu- ous walks down and up College Hill, with a cane across my back, holding the elbows in line as I walked and inhaled through the nostrils, and puffed full volumes of breath explosively from the mouth. In due time my somewhat deformed chest was so expanded that the ribs formed a perfect arch, and the lungs had ample room for their essential work. Possibly the now popular athletic sports would have done the same thing for me ; but the exercise I took in the way described was sufficient, without the supplements of bruises, sprains, and ponderous hands."


COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS.


The annual and triennial catalogues of the Institution, supple- mented by three publications edited by the undergraduates, keep the alumni informed as to the events in the College world. The " Hamilton Literary Monthly," conducted by the Senior Class, is in the twenty-fourth volume. It holds a high place among college periodicals. " The Dartmouth Lit." recently said, " To be copied by the Lit. of Yale, or Williams, or Harvard or Hamilton, or by other truly excellent college journals, places the seal of an appreciation outside of one's own country, and incites the writer to better efforts." "The Hamilton Review" is published by the Emerson- ian society, and "The Hamiltonian" by the Fraternity men of the


d&t.

HAMILTON COLLEGE, CLINTON, N. Y. .


Junior Class. " The Hamiltonian" is a mirror of college life. It knows its place. Its own language is :


" Loyalty is a sentiment, and it is of the heart first. : There must be more than mere feeling. For, while loyal hearts cling long and faithfully, as in the devotion of the Scotch and English Jacobites to the Stuarts; yet in the end, lack of respect will stifle even loyalty. So we are glad of thorough work, honest deal- ing and no humbug in College. But these alone will not awake earnest loyalty.


" The heart which beats loyally throbs by instants, and it is the little things, the things oft hidden, of daily life, that link the heart- throbs to any object-to home, to oft frequented haunts, to school, to college, and make one loyal to it.


" Those who, from year to year, come back to Hamilton, and at anniversary feasts recall their college days, are wont to talk, not of ablative absolute, optative moods, functions of X, precipitate, Roman law and such like; but of what " the boys " did in their far college days, and how they looked at life, and how life seemed to them. While the locks have whitened and the strength abated, while the thought has widened and the judgment mightily matured-the hearts that were here in the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, and the 60s, come back and are warm as they were then. So the inner things of college life are worth talking of, worth remember- ing. To embalm some of these in print "The Hamiltonian " exists. It means more and other than the catalogue: that speaks to brains and judgment for the work-side of college; we speak to hearts and to feelings, for the home-side, the play-side, the heart- side of college life."


STUDENT ANNALS.


Ah! yes, what " the boys " did would furnish material for a vol- ume, which might not always sustain the dignity of history, but would be perused with keen delight by hundreds of widely-scat- tered graduates in their counting rooms, libraries and offices, recall- ing those Sophomoric days when neither the weight of years nor of dignity oppressed them-those days when a meeting of Parliament or Senate did not concern them so much as a Faculty meeting, and the startling summons of " Pete," "Ho! Brown, stick your head out, Faculty wants you ; pack your trunk ! "


When Professor J. R. Green, of Oxford University, England,

A HISTORICAL SKETCH OF


sat down to write a history of his country, he determined not to make it a record of English Kings and conquests, "a drum and trumpet history," but a history of the English people. The Ham- ilton historian, who will write the annals, not of the administra- tions of College Presidents, but of student life, will have many alumni readers. . He will not fail to record those conversations in the far-off days, when the century was young, and when men now gray-haired and eminent, sat as happy students around open fire- places cracking jokes as thoroughly seasoned as the dry back-logs which the laughing flames cracked. He will picture the frosty six-o'clock chapel, as seen by tallow-candle light, and the old vil- lage church, with its " fire of devotion and foot stoves," and good Dr. Norton preaching in cloak and mittens.


Among the illustrations, he might include the College din- ing hall, " the Commons," with the "buttery" underneath, well- supplied with strong beer, cider, chewing tobacco and cigars, the profits of the sales of which, were the perquisites of some worthy charity student. That was before the days of the blessed Temperance Reforma- tion. Knowing that a more grave history has put on record Phone C . the public services of, for in- stance, such a philanthropist as Gerrit Smith, our historian "PROF." PETER BLAKE. would not depict him as he appeared in the Halls of Congress, a conspicuous statesman, but as he appeared to the College President, with his conspicuous boots protruding from under the bed, whither he had beat a precipitous retreat, and from which scholastic eloister he promptly replied to the question, " Gerrit, what are you doing there ?" " Meditating, sir!" To the pages of our student history the reader would not refer to find the public discourses of the eloquent Dr. Joel Parker, but there he would find the report of his discourse with a tutor, who after the term opening, was calling late arrivals to a striet account: "Parker," said he. Parker arose to his feet. "Sir." "Parker, you

did not appear until Friday." "No, sir; I did not." "Did you bring a written excuse from your parents?" " I have no parents," was the laconic reply. "Did you bring an excuse from your guardian ?" " I have no guardian." "From your friends?" "I have no friends." The tutor ceased; the class laughed; and Joel Parker's classmates thereafter never ceased to characterize him as the man, who had neither friends nor relatives.


Upon the pages of our student annals might not be found such words as President, Peters, North, Oren Root, Sr., and Oren Root, Jr., but the Hamiltonian would understand their substitutes, "Prex," "Twinkle," "Greek," "Cube Root," "Square Root." No chapter would be devoted to Geometry or Calculus, but space would be reserved for the erudite definition which a precocious student of mathematics, who afterward was prominent in the nation, gave in response to the question : " Mr. E. what is a curved line?" " A curved line is a straight line on a bender, sir !" A copy of a certain college diploma, might not be in the annals, but the annal- ist would account for its absence in the very words of the student who did not remain to graduate : " Hamilton college has turned out a good many good men, it turned me out!" Not with alge- braie signs would these student annals be sprinkled over, but they would abound with significant words and sentences, recalling class meetings, college politics, the army of the Oriskany, “ring- ing off the rust," " fresh !" Sophomore arbor; "road!" Chum, snatches of class songs, serenades, chapel exercises, recitation halls, the College color, the "bear box," bonfires, foot ball, base ball, " the elopement of a bell, whose gender was neuter," frater- nity life, burial of books, class rides, tree planting, class poems and prophecies, and hosts of pursuits not included in the curriculum as required studies, but "elected " successively by grandsire, sire and grandson as indispensable to a liberal education.


The stars which the renowned and patient Peters has discovered might not be catalogued in our student volume, but every Hamil- tonian would value the book if it could reproduce for him those sweetly beaming stars of his student life as he dreamed of them, while looking across the moon-lit Oriskany to the opposite hillside where fair, bright-eyed maidens graced seminary halls. How they are remembered let a recent response to a toast by Mr. A. M. Griswold, editor of the Teras Siftings, at the reunion of a Greek Letter Fraternity testify.

A HISTORICAL SKETCH OF


" The Girls We Left Behind Us."


" Mr. President and Brothers: The toast you have assigned me is one that touches a very tender chord in my heart. I have always felt sorry for the girls we left behind us. It seemed cruel at the time, but how could we help it? Circum- stances were such that we couldn't take them along; we had to leave them behind us. I think I promised three or four to come back for them in the spring or early autumn, but I was too busy for several years to attend to it, and after that-well, I was afraid my wife might not like it. I met one of the girls we left behind us in the street to-day. That is, I thought I did. The same soft, brown eyes, the same sweet, sunny smile.


' Is it possible,' I said, that ' I behold Miss Sally Jones !'


'That was my mother's name,' she smiled, 'before she was married. I am married now, and I have named my baby after ma.'


Great heavens! The girl I left behind me is a grand- mother !


I told the young lady who I was, and she said she had often heard her mother speak of me as one she used to know a great many years ago. Then I asked about the girls I used to know, and what had become of thein. I found that some, alas, arc dead. Others, who were married, wished they were dead. Some, who were widows, had lovers seeking for their hands. Others, not yet widows, were seeking for divorces.


Oh, those seminary girls of long ago-how we did regret leaving them behind us-except one poor fellow who eloped with one of them. He has regretted all his life that he didn't leave her behind with the rest of them.


But we had to go and leave them. Fate beckoned us on. And, in some cases, the faculty urged us to go. Were we to blame, then, for temporarily forgetting the debts-I mean the girls we left behind us? Why, some of us had to leave our trunks !


A rare collection of girls they were, gentlemen, as I recall them now. Tall, willowy girls; short, plump girls; black-eyed girls that made us blue, and blue-eyed girls that we were ready to take a black eye for any time ; fair-complexioned girls, Brown girls, Smith girls, girls with auburn hair, and girls who, not being able to match their own hair in Auburn, were compelled to buy it in

Utica or Syracuse. In fact there was about every kind of girl then that there is now, except the tailor-made giri, who seems to be altogether a modern creation. Still, the latter has points in her favor. While the girl I so tenderly recall possessed virtue, beauty, intelligence and many engaging ways, I must admit that she somehow lacked the get-up of the girl of to-day."


After reading the volume at whose contents we have hinted, the oldest graduate would feel his pulse beating faster, perhaps his eyes moistening, and though his age-cracked voice or his dignity might prevent his giving the college yell, " Rah ! Rah! ! Rah ! ! ! Hamil-ton ! Zip-rah-boom !" he would be ready to join in the chorus of Professor North's .


RETROSPECTIVE.


" Alumni! now I'm going to sing A song that home will come; Of happy moments that I've known With my old College chum. How I wish that I could roam again Beside the Oriskany,


Or with my chum could sit and talk Beneath the Poplar tree.


CHORUS-'Tis many n night since first we sat Beneath the Poplar tree, And there minde glad the hours with fun, And laugh, and minstrelsy.


" Four years went by on pinions light, And then the distant hum Of dull toil, bade me leave my books And my old College chum. But I dream by night when all is still, That he comes back to me. And golden hours return again Beneath the Poplar tree. CHORUS.


' I might forget that I have reached The half of years four-score, When I can dream I see my chum, And bail him Sophomore. Would Alma Mater's grandsons cease To climb their father's knee, And tease me funny tales to tell About the Poplar tree.


CHORUS.
