THE INTEPPPES

OCHESTER has among her alumni many honored sons. To one who
glances through the list of those who have gone out from the institution
to take their place in the world’s duties, there appears at short intervals
the name of some man whose achievements have made him a figure of importance
throughout the country. Then, too, there are those whose efforts have been
directed to affairs outside the boundary of our naturally limited interests. These
men have made the name of Rochester a thing to conjure by in other lands and
while to us they may be almost strangers, in the larger world where they do their
work they are recognized at their full worth.
Because this is true, the Interpres of the Class of 1911 is dedicated to Dr.
Carl Traugott Kreyer, Rochester, ’63, of Saint Ilario di Nervi, Italy. To
record adequately his various lines of work and notable achievements since the day
he left the college as a graduate would require a book the size of this publication.
However large it might be, its contents, however, would be interest-compelling,
for Dr. Kreyer has lived his life to the fullest and has done his work well. He
was born in Groedel, Saxony, January 16, 1839. At the age of fourteen, his
instinct to see the world asserted itself and he put to sea, arriving in New York in
1 854. Almost immediately he set out in a ship bound for China and when he
returned from this first voyage he spent but a short time in this country, returning to
China the next year. He remained in Shanghai during the years of 1857 to 1859,
and at this time became impressed with the need of Christian missionaries there.
With this purpose in mind, he returned to America and entered the University
of Rochester with the Class of 1863. While there his part m the college
life was a busy one. He became a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity
and was later elected to Phi Beta Kappa. To complete his preparation he spent
two years in the Theological Seminary, graduating in 1865. Referring to his
life in Rochester, Dr. Kreyer has often spoken of the great affection in which he
holds the memory of Dr. Anderson and Dr. Kendrick of the University, and Dr.
Robinson of the Theological Seminary, men whose example and training were to be
of immeasurable value to the young man whose life was just starting.
Dr. Kreyer sailed for China in ’65 as a representative of the American
Baptist Missionary Union. He found the country in a state of turmoil, shaken
by the rebellion of that year, and the government confronted by the need of imme
diate assistance in the way of Western training in the methods of war. To attain
this end a translating department was established at the Kiangnaw arsenal, Shang
hai, and Dr. Kreyer received a call to become the head of this new branch of the
government. With considerable reluctance he left his post as a missionary to
accept the position as a translator of foreign works into the Chinese tongue. What
he did from this time on to further the defensive strength of the empire through

the introduction of modern methods of warfare may be summed up by mentioning
that the textbooks on navigation, coast defense, nautical astronomy, science and
practice of artillery, fortifications, manufacture of shot and shell, as well as that
of gunpowder and fulminates which the Chinese possess to-day, are possible be
cause of Dr. Kreyer’s efforts in the next few years. One must not draw the
conclusion that his writings are limited to the subject of warfare. Works on
practical navigation, construction and conservation of steam boilers and engines,
electro plating, constitutional law, financial science, and many other matters of
economic importance bear his name.
In 1875, Dr. Kreyer became secretary to the governor of Shanghai, which
position he held until his departure from that country for Europe five years later.
Since that time he has been secretary to the Chinese legations in St. Petersburg,
Stockholm, Brussels, The Hague, Rome, Vienna, Paris and Berlin. He was
also secretary to the Chinese delegation at the first Peace Conference held at The
Hague in 1 899.
With all these duties many honors have come to him. Those of a foreign
nature are so numerous and strange to an American that complete enumeration is
unnecessary. He has been decorated with the Chinese Gold Medal of Merit,
button of the Third Rank of the Chinese Mandarinate, First Grade of the second
class of the Double Dragon, the Prussian Order of the Red Eagle, Commander
ship of the Italian Order of Santi Merizio e Lazzaro, and many more. Roches
ter has honored him with the degrees of Doctor of Physics, in 1876, and Doctor
of Laws, in 1908.
The greatest honors that come to a man of Dr. Kreyer’s stamp, however,
are'other than these. To be recognized as one who has devoted a lifetime to
the betterment of conditions in a country which, when he first entered upon his
work, was known to the new world as a heathen land, is an honor none can be
stow but which one must earn. This Dr. Kreyer has done.
We would not seem to shower the man to whom this Interpres is dedicated
with fulsome praise. Indeed it would be difficult to do this, for his achievements
themselves speak too loudly. It is enough to mention a few of the things he
has done.
No greater honor can come to an institution than that which it receives
through the deeds accomplished by those men who call it their Alma Mater.
Rochester stands for more that is truly worth while and her fame extends farther
around the world because of this man, and we, men of the Junior Class, consider
it no small privilege to dedicate this, our Interpres, to
CARL TRAUGOTT KREYER

JAMES BRECK PERKINS
Rochester, ’67

Born November 4, 1847
Died March 10, 1910

JAMES BRECK PERKINS
When a truly great man dies not only those to whom he was most dear but
the country which he called his own and even the world sustain an irreparable
loss.

James Breck Perkins through his life and achievements made for himself

a name which stands as his most fitting memorial.

This Interpres, the year book

of his Alma Mater, can record no finer appreciation of Mr. Perkins than this

tribute from the pen of Professor William Carey Morey:
“In the death of the Hon. James Breck Perkins the University of Rochester
has been called upon to mourn the loss of one of its most worthy and distinguished

alumni.

He was an eminent example of the kind of manhood which this and

every American university seeks to develop.

In his college life he was eager to

appropriate and utilize all the resources of culture that the college placed within
his reach, and he became the first scholar of his class.
“During his whole life he never ceased to be a scholar, and he attained a con
spicuous place among the historians of our country.

His highest honor rests upon

the fact that he devoted his broad scholarship and his intellectual powers to the
service of his fellow men.

In his political career he was not inspired with a pas

sion for personal distinction or with the hope of material benefits, but solely with
the desire to promote the public good.

He was pure and incorruptible, high-

minded and statesmanlike, liberal and independent in his judgments, and unswerv
ingly loyal to what he believed to be the truth.

“The world is richer for his life, and his memory will remain with us as one
of our choicest possessions.”

SENIOR HISTORY
(Scene — A pearly gate of splendor situated at the extreme end of a
beautiful avenue of greensward. Several angelic figures near by. In Indian file
the members of the Class of 1910 approach the resplendent gateway to gain
entrance to the City of Heaven.)
St. Peter (to an attendant) : “Well, old fellow, here comes another
gang of bums from the University of Rochester. Last year we sent every ’09
man to hell. Not one had the proper credentials for admission to our city. Me
thinks this class will fare better.”
The vanguard of '10 men appears. The leader is hailed bp an attend
ant:
“Who may you be?”
“I may be George Washington Aldridge, but I am C. E. Miihl, man
ager of the 1910 musical clubs and once editor of The Campus. I could tell a
lot more about myself but I won’t. Have a cigarette? Do I get in?”
IVithoul ado six burly angels seize Miihl and hustle him into an elevator
which rapidly descends to the depths of Hades.
"Next,” called the attendant. And a youth steps forward, introducing
himself as A. Russell Jones.
“I’ve been manager of about every dramatic production staged at the Uni
versity of Rochester in the last four years. You can’t keep me out; I’ve got a
‘comp.’
“So he has,” replied St. Peter. “We’ll have to let him in. He knows the
manager.”
“I should have you know,” the next candidate declared, “that I am an
entrepreneur. I am a manager of great business enterprises. $2,200 did I
realize from the 1909—10 basketball season. I’ll manage heaven for you. I
am also a ‘Deake.’ ”
“Admit him,” was the quick reply. “He’s the first ‘Deake’ that ever had
the nerve to seek entrance.”
After a few minutes’ respite the Work °f classification is continued. IValter
Allen then approaches St. Peter, the attendants and the burly angels, seeking
entrance to the heavenly city.
“Ladies and gentlemen, for many years I have reported the college events in
the columns of the Rochester Herald. I have prophesied much; I have ‘scooped’

my competitors. I believe that I could perform inestimable services in heaven in
the journalistic line.”
“Ah, ring off,” cried St. Peter, pointing to the elevator. “You go below
and ‘scoop’ coal. Report the big fire. There are no college reporters in heaven.”
St. Peter then throws away the remainder of the “Helmar” which Miihl
gave him, coughs a bitter laugh and then bellows, “Bring on some more."
“My name? ’Tis Frank Dana,” was the soft answer to the great St. Peter’s
demand. “I can make people laugh like heaven. In the class room, in the cor
ridor and at the banquet board do the students roar at my wit.”
St. Peter then flutters his wings, arising from the ground, and eyes Dana
from an airy perch in indecision.
“Hey, old boy, you’re off your base,” shouted Dana. Whereupon the
attendants roar in laughter, St. Peter saying:
“Verily you are a jokesmith. You may enter into the pearly city.”
Slapping a burly angel on his wing, Dana disappears through the doorway.
“Alden F. Barss is my name,” croaked the next form. “I will but show you
this key, this Phi Beta Kappa key.”
“Ah! Ha!” cried St. Peter. Turning to an attendant, he said, “Do you
remember such a trifle last year when ’09 sought admittance?”
“No, sire, I do not. It’s new to me.”
“Hard have I studied that I might wear this beautiful emblem of learning
on my breast. Why, I paid ten dollars for this little key of gold!”
“Give him back his ten dollars and send him to hell. A Phi Beta Kappa
key will not open the door to heaven. Next.”
“St. Peter, I must get in,” pleaded a deep voice. “They all expect me.
Kenyon is my nomenclature. I haven’t got a pass, I’m not a ‘Deake’ nor am I
a jokesmith. I’ve got a reputation though. Let me in on my rep.”
“He certainly can’t hurt anyone. Admit him on a seven-day trial,” was
Pete’s answer.
“I once sang at the Waldorf-Astoria. The greatest promenade in the his
tory of the college was promoted by Mr. George Holton Herr. The English
language is incapable of depicting its gorgeous splendor. I am Mr. Herr.”
“Well, Herr, you can come in, but you won’t like it,” was the comment.
Scarcely do these words pass from the lips of St. Peter when a terrible
roar like the sound of many waters causes the angels to flutter their wings in
alarm. And the bellowing voice of B. J. Slater shakes the pearly gate.
“Loud and long have I roared. My wonderful voice has made plain the
events of a track meet, my voice has reformed the college, my voice has admin
istered religious ideas. Great is its power for good.”

“Buchwa. Te’ll with your voice. Descend and bellow like the bull, so
that even we may hear you. Your voice, sir, will be the echo from deepest hell.
Next.”
‘‘For two years I have served faithfully as a member of the University
Council. I---------”
“ ’Nough said,” broke in St. Peter as Ernest A. Paviour sought admittance.
“There are reserved seats in the hottest part of the sulphurous regions for those
who sat at the table in G. C. Hollister’s office. An honest councilman is as rare
as a wax dog in hell.”
“Gentlemen, my name is E. W. Conklin,” announced a deep voice. “I
belong to the P. U. fraternity. Since Paviour has taken the elevator we have
no representatives in heaven. In the name of justice I demand entrance.”
“That sounds pretty good, Conk., old boy, come in.”
An attendant then pushes his Way to the front, accompanied by a short
and fat youth, and attracts the doorkeeper’s attention.
“This fellow’s name is Hurd. He refuses to tell anything about him
self.”
“Then for the devil’s sake let him in. We need some fellows who are
not all ether,” decreed the great St. Peter.
In a state of exhaustion a messenger next appears at the heavenly gate, al
most tumbling over Hurd, and whispers gently in St. Peter's left ear. An angel
then steps forward to make an announcement to the remaining '10 men.
“There is a chess game in progress between heaven and hell. Our best
player and the captain of the team has sprained his wrist. Is there a former mem
ber of the U. of R. team present?”
William Henry Roberts steps forward with great alacrity, declaring him
self a champion chess player. St. Peter simply looks at him in disgust and allows
him to enter without comment.
“Remaining members of the class of 1910,” spoke the guardian of the
sacred gate in solemn tones, “Eight men from your class have entered the pearly
city. Not a member of the ’09 outfit qualified. Prior to that year we had
never heard of the University of Rochester. I wish to congratulate you on the
excellent showing. We have no room for any more ’1 0 men; the rest of you must
go to hell.”
(Old St. Peter was a wise guy. He admitted one man from each fra
ternity and two neutrals. He’d make a good president of the Students’ Associa
tion.)

JUNIOR HISTORY
Probably every class historian feels as if he were imposing upon the public.
All he does is to set down on paper a few facts which everybody knows all
about, or would know all about, if they only took the trouble to notice. No
body is interested enough to write down this chronicle of events of his own free
will, so a historian is elected for the special purpose, and allowed to pose as a
class officer. The office is a relic of those halcyon days when the Spirit of Lit
erature hovered above these classic halls devoted to the attainment of higher
culture. But Calliope and her sister, Clio, have long since been driven away
by the Goddess of Football, and the office of class historian still hangs on like
many another good bluff which the college palms off on the gullible public.
Poor, old, long-suffering public! Attention! Give attention and read the
chronicle of the past,— read of the deeds of which your sons and nephews and
brothers have told you first hand! Read of the glorious deeds of 1911!
It was in the fall of ’07 that we came. A glorious place, indeed, seemed
this old campus on that autumn morning — a world, new and untried, full of
marvelous things. How wildly did the battle cry of the Sophs ring through the
echoing corridors. Then, the fight,—the close straining contact with that mass
of humanity, the smell of the trampled earth and bruised grass, the quick deep
breathing oi the contestants, and the shouts of encouragement from the upperclassmen. When the final pistol was fired, there was no doubt which class had
won. The Juniors gave a yell for us, the victors. Then, at the suggestion of
some poetic genius, the good old “Son-of-a-gun” boomed out across the campus
for the first time.
Soon after that the Sophom*ore proclamations appeared, and the following
night, the police were rudely awakened from their slumbers by the marauding
bands of Frosh. We managed to cover the campus pretty well, the Third Pre
cinct Station House and most of this section of the city with reply proclamations,
which, by the way, were the first and only ones which a Freshman class has ever
gotten out.
The next public appearance of the class was on the occasion of the scouring
of Culver Field with every Sophom*ore who dared show himself there on the day
of a certain underclass football game. The Freshman banquet was pulled off
in fine style a little later in the winter. In spite of the fact that the date and
place of the feast were announced, the second-year men could not prevent a single
Frosh from attending.

W hat 1911 man will ever forget the trip to Avon in search of the Sophs,
who had gone to Lockport? Never was there a better day than that. Do you
remember the feed which the “White Horse” produced for that hungry mob, and
the old Spring, and the speechmaking out under the trees, and the wonderful
baseball game in which the “Shirt-tails-out” went down in defeat before the re
doubtable “One-leg-ups”? When I forget these things, I hope to be informed
that they have opened a skating-rink on the Styx.
Contests in the other sports came in their turn and 1911 always won its
share. The Freshman year was brought to a close with the cap-burning, which
was followed by a parade, the like of which has never been seen in the good city
of Rochester.
The very first night of our Sophom*ore year we got out the “Procs” for the
guidance of our little playmates, who joined us at that time. It took two or
three good drubbings from our hands before the tiny ones learned their place,
but they finally were taught how to behave and have ever since been grateful
for the kindly interest we took in them.
The Joll was perhaps the most important event of the year in which 1911
participated as a class. There were certainly no spots on it anywhere. Not
the least of its good effects was the way in which it bound the thirty-odd men,
who participated in it, in a close friendship, which has helped in the subsequent
development of the class as a unit. Following shortly after its presentation came
the Sophom*ore banquet, held at Niagara Falls. This was an unqualified suc
cess, as every man in the Class of 1911, including “Frap,” will testify.
The Junior year is fast slipping away from us into the golden past. It has
been marked by one of the best Proms ever given at Rochester. A Junior Whist
Club flourished during the winter and is, at the present time, furnishing pleasant
evenings of diversion for its members.
Beyond this point none can say what the history of 1911 will be. This
much can be promised: if circ*mstances allow events to issue as the members
of the class intend, there will be nothing in it to the discredit of Rochester.

“The play’s the thing!”
So Shakspere wrote.
At least in Abbott do we see
An actor bold.
But some one’s said
“What fools these mortals be.”

Amiral, thou dark and deep blue sea,
Remember once in Math how thou helped me?
That deed hath won this heart of mine.
Stop eating onions and I’ll be all thine.

The sun oft shines but half the time,
And alternates with rain;
But Barlow, he shines all the time
And never knows restrain.
His shining wit makes quite a hit,
He fills us all with joy.
No other monkey in our class
Comes up to little Roy.

O, thou Fusser Bold!
Art thou so young and yet so old
That thou wouldst fuss with ease
With girls up to thy knees?

How “Spike” has grown
And how he groans,
As onward through the day
With many moans
In many tones
He plods his weary way;
Some say ’tis too much study brings
These troubles from within,
But others say he’s worrying
Because he’s groan so thin.

Fancy Billy Clancy
Is so modest and so meek
That you can barely hear him
When Forbes wants him to speak.
But take the mild one out of class
Among the girls and boys.
And the volume of escaping gas
Will make a frightful noise.

“Well Dunn, thou good and faithful servant,”
Quotes Kendrick Shedd with glee;
As Wilbur solves with nonchalance
Some German mystery.
At basketball he’ll slam you one
That lays you on the mat,
The referee calls out, “Well, Dunn!”
What does he mean by that?

Ho-ho for Harry Edwards,
For a jolly scout is he;
In married life he’s noted
For his felicity.
He’ll help to guard the canvas
At every baseball game,
And chases kids so swiftly
It always makes him lame.

A damsel sits beside him;
Each heaves a happy sigh,
And in this lawless manner
The baseball games go by.

Beware of the Bold Bad Bookstore Man!
For he will cheat you if he can,
He’ll sell you ink, then fill his pen;
He’ll borrow paper now and then.
You’ll buy candy, and give him some,
He’ll charge five cents to chew your gum.

You’ll see him blush beneath his tan.

Go wagging up to Sheddy’s side.

When Heiny’s on a glee club trip,
He turns things loose and lets them rip
The jokes he cracks are sometimes bad;
The laughs he gets are pretty sad.

The Syracuse and Eastern
Sped swiftly on her way,
The boys removed their hats and coats,
Made ready for the fray.
For there was Hell in camp
And there was Helmkamp.
They mussed each other’s hair that night
And oft removed a shoe
And hurled the deadly paper wad
That crazy college crew,
But when they came to Helmkamp
Things took a different light,
His beard was bristling fiercely!
His eyes were full of fight.
For there was Hell in camp
And there was Helmkamp.
He cried “You crushed my dicer,
Some one has smashed my clock,
But by the ghost of Socrates,
No man shall take my sock!”
And Scott and Ray and Archie
All beat a swift retreat
And Helmkamp, in silence,
Resumed his mournful seat.
For there was Hell in camp
And there was Helmkamp.

When the stage was darkened
And tourists sauntered in
The gods up in the gallery
Sent up an awful din.
Jack Kurtz with tennis slippers
Was climbing mountain heights;
If he’d appear on Broadway
He’d run a hundred nights.

Which way we are not stating,
Let it suffice to say
If Swartout ever catches him
There’ll be a bitter fray.

I think that he is little
Though I shouldn’t say he’s small;
He is more than very little
Though I shouldn’t say he’s tall.
Though his deeds are often little
And his study little too
What Little says and Little does
Must be approved by you.

When he left our college
For Lyday’s so wise

For the training that’s found
In picking out flaws
In the fellows around.

McPherson, thou exquisite cuss
O mortal, born to prink, to fuss,
How can’st thy hair grow such a way?

Is in our ken, a thing that ought to stay.

I wonder where he got that pull with the men
But then I have heard it again and again
He’s a Mason!

He builds castles in Spain—O wondrous fair
He’s really quite handy with bricks of pure air.
He’s a Mason!

In the seventh book of Matthew I have read
A certain boy took up his bed
And walked and talked about the land
A pile of books at his right hand.
And was surrounded every day
By youth and love and health and May
From classes he was all care free
His life was one long harmony
For of exams he’d never think
Saying only, with a wink,
“I’ll have to pass that darned delinq.”

In “Milton” Doc Havens once dared to suggest
That this little spot was “not quite at its best”
When Newcomb Haired up with a rair and a tear
And set up a noise that caused quite a scare.
“If you can’t do better then don’t criticize
An author of Milton’s terrible size.”
And they both shouted and parlied in vain
And when they got through they started again
And they’ll give “Don” a key, at least, I’ve heard said
Simply because his hair’s so well read.

When Newhall came to college
He longed to work and play
He strove at times for knowledge
At other times was gay.

And now his heart is stricken
In truth it gives us pain
To hear his heartbeats quicken
When thinking of some—Lain.

When it comes to studying bugs
Osborn beats them all.
He sorts them out in little jugs
The short ones and the tall.

Why he was such a star at that
Was more than I could see
But Osborn says that lots of bugs
Come to him naturally.

The first of the football season
The first of every fall
Without a special reason
There’s Otis with the ball.
He gives the ball a kicking
His head rubs in the mud
He gives some man a licking
And calmly chews his cud.

And when the season’s over
And winter’s drawing near
Without a special reason
He seems to disappear.

P. S.—He always comes back for the annual rush.

Parkin be a preacher?
It makes us laugh with glee
He might better be a teacher
Of Hellraiseology.
Yet in his sermons, I’ll depend
For words of due reflection
Expecting, too, a happy end
“The usual collection.”

You can tell our Richard, our Royal Belden Powell,
By number 1 6 rubbers and his dictionary scowl.
He’s the choice of all the ladies but he can’t help his looks;
And he’s strong as any hackman, from lugging ’round his books.
He’s got an umbrella that’ll make your heart rejoice
And he’s proud, awfully proud of his deep bass voice.
But when it comes to studies all others fall behind
And his cerebellum’s calloused from the Grind

When he was just a Freshman
He never used to study.
But now that he’s a Junior
He beats most everybody.

And so when he’ll psychologize
He just can’t understand
“How hallucinations
Hurt the anti-spinal gland.”

“Solid ivory,” shouted some one
Referring to his head
But it’s solid with the teacher
If the signs be rightly read.

Never wears a hat
Never wears a rat
No protection at all

A man with a head like that
Ought to answer nature’s call
And play football.

He’s asleep at the post
I should say at least most
Of the time in classes of late
In his drowsiest state
He sleeps through the debate.
Prof. Merrell, the story is told,
Once woke Tom, and made bold
To say, in a manner quite mean,
That the class should purchase a screen
To protect Tom from the flies:
But even at that he did not arise
But replied in a manner extremely laconic
That sleeping with him was really quite chronic.

Remington, B.,
By Gee,
Is a whirlwind in Psychology.
He loves to do
Logic, too,
In a manner that from care is free
Not quite as planned
He showed his hand
So his professor dear could see
He’ll probably pass,
But now that class
Holds naught for him but misery.

And save.
Will lave
And shave
Not for a woman’s heart
But to be in the part
Then he will cause a start
With care
He’ll flare
Or wear
Or tear

The Junior class was meeting,
Schaef felt A Number 1
And as he entered Number 2
He thought he’d have some fun.
Now number 7 was the room
’Twas here Bill doth preside,
And on his discipline, you know,
Bill takes a lot of pride.

When Number 2 tripped Number 1
And sent him on his eye
Uncle Bill arose and Number
2 thought he should die.
When number 2 first entered there
He felt like three or four,
But Bill with fluent logic
Subtracted ten or more.

How oft hast thou our highest fancies smote;
Remember in our late Soph Joll

Or I won’t go at all!”

He knows about all latitudes
He dealeth not in platitudes
He never would procrastinate,
Shagnasticate or masticate
Those verbal forms redundant
Which now are so abundant.
And if I dared prognosticate,
Verbosely, I should quickly state
That in his heart there is a place
A hard earned key will soon deface.

His stride is long
His voice is strong
With that commanding air
He overawes
While stating laws
The stern sex and the fair

Bob is no simple youth of nine
His thoughts unlike a boy
Are not of common joy,
But seems at times to rise to the divine.

His life already’s aiming toward an end
(Let all his thoughts be bared)
His troubles all be shared;
This life our Robert never would amend.
He does not wish to wander or to roam;
And though he’ll pine and moan
He does not pine alone
When pining for his ideal home.

With calmness in his face
To speak he takes his place
And now
He wipes his brow.
The speech runs merrily
He stops quite suddenly
And now
He wipes his brow.

The speech abounds with fun
At last the thing is done
And now
He wipes his brow.

His suavity has helped him much
He claims it really “was the Dutch”
He loves to play and loves to work,
The girls say “He’s the nicest clerk,”
A sportive sport in every pore
He sports about the Sporting Store
And slyly sneaks a silly sigh
When some sweet sampler sallies by.

SOPhom*oRE HISTORY
The history of the Class of 1912 begins on the first morning of their arrival
at Anderson Hall, for it was then and there that they started in to make themselves
known. After a lively scrap, they won their first rush and then, in spite of the
warning posters published by the Sophs, the colors of the class inscribed with
*1 2’ were soon floating from the top of the flagpole and later they were displayed
between Anderson and Sibley, The climax however was not reached until the
class numerals appeared upon the roof of the chemical laboratory.
Thus nearly two terms passed away and the day of the class banquet was
at hand. Although the date leaked out and the Sophs were active (that is, as
active as they ever were) in trying to break it up, not a single Freshman was
forced to remain away. To add to the enjoyment of the evening two captive
Sophom*ores made speeches, sang and yelled for the class of 1912.
Later in the Spring, there came a great day for both classes. It was
learned one morning that all the Sophs had left for parts unknown during the
night. The majority of the Frosh attended no more than one class that day, for
at 9:1 5 a council of war was held at one of the neighboring fraternity houses.
The Sophs, it was ascertained, were on their way to Niagara Falls and for
any large number of Frosh to go there was of course impossible. To spend the
day at college was also impossible. So, accompanied by a number of the upper
classmen, the first year men set out for Brockport. It would require a volume to
relate all the events of that glorious day, but suffice it to say that none who was
there will ever forget the dinner, the speeches, the visit to the Normal School or
the baseball game.
When the class returned last fell it was. confrqnted by the largest Freshman
class in the history of the college. To save the colors by force at that first rush
was plainly impossible, so a number of the class put their heads together and
resolved to use stratagem. As a result such a quantity of lard was smeared upon
the pole that even Doctor Stroud could not entirely remove it, and so many hand
fuls of flour were thrown into the faces of the attacking party that they were
momentarily blinded. At any rate, when time was up, the colors were still in
the possession of the Class of 1912, and for the first time in years the Sophs had
won the opening day rush.
Believing that the baby class was underestimated on account of its failure
at the first rush, the Sophom*ores hit upon a plan to bring the class properly
before the notice of the public. They provided the Frosh with a float in Roch
ester’s Industrial Parade. The Class of 1913 seemed to object to modern meth-

ods of advertising and evidently felt themselves unworthy of the prominence
given them, but in spite of their best efforts the float moved up East avenue and
down Main street.
The class has been active along other lines. One of its most successful ac
complishments has been the formation and inauguration of the Chi Rho secret
society. This is essentially a class fraternity but while membership is intended
principally for Freshmen, all classes remain active until they leave college.
The men of 1912 may well boast of the athletes they have furnished the
college, of their Sophom*ore club and the Soph exhibition which was pronounced
the best ever, as well as many other successes; but space prevents more. It is
enough to know that through defeats and victories they have ever tried to live
up to the spirit and traditions of the college, and that in the future as upper class
men, they can be relied upon to continue active and loyal, that the influence of
the class may redound to the eternal glory of “Old Rochester.”

FRESHMAN PRATTLE
PROPHECY of the Class of 1913 would seem more appropriate at
this time than a history, for, happily, our future is larger than our past.
Still, for a Freshman Class, there is much to tell, for we would have
you appreciate that 1913 is not an ordinary class. Just as in history we find
at intervals of many years one generation which seems destined to surpass most
others and leave a record and influence preeminent, so in college it often happens
that the enterprise and influence of one class is so great that—but we would not
appear boastful.
1913 came to the University of Rochester as the largest class that had
ever matriculated, and although our numbers have been gradually dwindling, we
are still a prominent part of the college landscape.
It is true that we did not capture the ribbon in the annual Sophom*oreFreshman Rush, but if striving be success we should have no regrets on that
score. We gave a better demonstration, however, when we hung the Sopho
more Class in effigy, and when we effectively broke up the float that the Sophs
had entered in the Rochester Day parade.
Next m chronological order come our athletic victories. The sophs were
forced to bow in defeat, when the Freshmen by a single touchdown proclaimed
themselves victors on the football field. Winning from the Seniors and Juniors
we made the basketball championship our own by trimming our old friends,
the Sophs.
1 he climax of lower class ambition was reached when the Freshman Banquet
was ‘ pulled off” with the Sophom*ores completely eluded. So successfully was
the affair planned that not even the suspicions of the 1912 men were aroused.
They (the men, not their suspicions) have never been the same since. To describe
the class banquet words are lacking. Like every other it was a howling success,
—especially the howling.
The class has loyally supported the college activities, both by attending the
games and functions, and going out for the various activities. The Freshmen
have representatives on the Campus, and in the dramatic and musical clubs.
Freshmen “made” the football, basketball and hockey teams, and have done
their best for track and baseball. Three Freshmen, Woodams, Cox and Carey,
played regularly on the 1909-10 champion basketball team.
Lest it be thought that one side of college life has been overemphasized,
it might not be amiss to mention that forty-five men secured a standing of eightyfive per cent or over for the first term’s work, and that of these twenty-one were
above ninety. Figures talk.
The deepest sorrow came to the class through the death of David W.
Ogden, a dearly beloved classmate, who seemed destined to fill a high place in
the life of the college.

THE COMMONS
As an evidence of the growth of the student body at Rochester in recent
years, there came into existence about the middle of the present college year an
organization, which later took the name of “The Commons Club.” The number
of students not connected with any of the existing fraternities has increased pro
portionately with the growing registration. Consequently a considerable portion
of the student body was deprived of those social benefits which fraternity men
enjoy and which form an essential element in college life.
Realizing this state of affairs, certain upper classmen began to discuss indi
vidually with the “ Neutrals ” the advisability of organizing some sort of a
club where men without fraternal ties could meet now and then for purely
social purposes. As a result a meeting of the Neutrals was held in the gym
nasium at the beginning of the Winter Term and steps were taken toward the
formation of a permanent organization. A constitution was drawn up and
adopted during the early part of the Spring Term.
The club has now a membership of about sixty. Meetings have thus far
been held in the gymnasium, but plans are already under way for securing suitable
permanent quarters in the vicinity of the college.
Democracy is the essential feature of the Commons Club. Meetings are non
secret, unnecessary formalities are excluded, and admission to membership merely
requires a statement by the applicant expressing his desire to become a menfber.
There is no distinction as to race or religion, the main object being, in the
words of the constitution, “ to better unite the men of the University of Rochester
in the common endeavor to promote the interests and welfare of their Alma
Mater; and, especially, to afford the non-fraternity men of the college the
benefits of closer co-operation and fellowship.”
The temporary officers of the club are: President, James P. Wells, ’ll;
secretary, Samuel Kahn, ’10; treasurer, William H. Levis, ’10.

FOOTBALL SEASON 1909
TRAVELER wending his way across the Varsity campus about the
twentieth of last September might have seen a man in uniform assume
the leadership of an enthusiastic group of men arrayed in football togs.
The name of this leader was Ralph Glaze, and the individuals around him will
be disclosed as our story proceeds. The work which was expected of Glaze was
the development of these husky, raw, and apparently untrained units into a
smoothly working machine. For him the training of a football team was not a
new undertaking. He was familiar with the game through a four years’ course
at Dartmouth, and a year previous had developed on our own campus the best
team that ever wore the yellow. Quick, alert to possibilities and inadequacies,
himself a man of ability and rare personality, he combined nearly all the char
acteristics that go to make up a clever coach. He knew the game and he trans
ferred enough of his knowledge into his team so that Rochester for the second
successive season captured the N. Y. S. I. A. U. championship. A crude looking
squad he developed into a team that played the game to the finish and exhibited
at times no small amount of skill. All the niceties of open football, all the advan
tages which a lighter team possesses, all the strategy available, he applied to their
needs, and it was due to this combination that Hamilton succumbed, 17 to 5,
and Union was defeated on her own field by a 6 to 3 score.
A little idea of the handicap under which Rochester labored at the be
ginning of the season may be gained from the fact that we lost through graduation
such invaluable material as Maecherlein, George Ramaker, Fowle, Goodsell,
Grant and Roberts. The mere mention of their names calls to mind deeds
through which they have been entered among the immortals. It is only due
tribute to them to say that they are six of the best men Rochester ever sent into a
gridiron battle.
Graduation, however, is a thing we expect, even from football men, and
green men had to be developed. Coach Glaze had four days to get his men in
shape to meet George Junior Republic. A 0—0 score tells the story. The team
was unprepared and needed just such a result to learn effectively that hard work
was in store for them. Niagara came next, and here the team showed that it
was willing to work and had done so. The purple and white maintained their
long-standing reputation as fighters and every inch of ground gained by Rochester
was through an aggressive line. The margin of a single touchdown gave to the
game a dash of excitement that kept an enthusiastic crowd interested for a
good period.
Encouraged by the work of the team and recalling vivid pictures of Roches-

156

ter’s two touchdowns in her game against Syracuse the year before, about one
hundred students followed the squad to watch the annual struggle in the Stadium.
A hot day and a big team combined to wear out the Yellow’s forces. As a result
the score at the sound of the whistle was 1 7 to 0 with Rochester at the small end.
Syracuse played the old style game and the continual plugging of her heavy line
proved the downfall of Rochester. In the second half several of the men suc
cumbed to the gruelling strain. Frapwell, who was playing before his condition
would warrant it, was taken to the hospital in an unconscious condition. His
definitely expressed intention to get back into the game immediately, when he re
covered consciousness, represents the indomitable spirit which took the team
through a tough season.
The first home game having to do with pennant possibilities came the fol
lowing Saturday. Hamilton was the visitor and advance dope led the college
men to believe that the Buff and Blue would retrieve their lost honors of last year
by an overwhelming victory over the Yellow. Such, however, was not to be.
The Varsity ploughed through the visitors’ line and went around their ends time
after time, and although Hamilton did ring in one long run for a touchdown the
final score stood Rochester 1 7, Hamilton 5. With this victory giving a needed
bit of encouragement, Union was invaded the next week.
Schenectady presented a gala appearance, for the occasion was University
day, with Rochester as the leading attraction. In the first half, the Yellow did
very little in the way of football, except in allowing Union to drop a pretty
goal over the Yellows’ goal posts, but in the second half Glaze’s men came into
their own and Captain Pray was pushed over for a touchdown. He kicked the
goal too, and Union sold out its stock.
Then came the slump of the year. Returning from a foreign victory, either
the scrimmage during the week failed of results or the local men didn’t gauge the
next fight accurately. There were several possible reasons which may be assigned,
but there’s one thing certain. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute came to Rochester
the very next week with the intention of trimming the home team. And they did it,
too, roundly. There was gloom a foot deep on the campus after that game of
October 30th, for the electricians had come, seen, etc., and not only held the
Varsity to no score but had also kicked a clever field goal and secured a touch
down. There was no doubt that Rochester was completely outclassed, and the
score—9 to 0—gives a good idea of the comparative ability of the two teams
on that especial day. The defeat came at a bad time, too, for the next team—
Colgate—came to show the locals how the game should be played. No one, not
even the most enthusiastic varsity supporter, looked for victory, and the folks
whose most lucid remark on any occasion is “I told you so,” got in their deadly

157

work at the end of the first half, for the Maroon team had swept Rochester off
its feet time after time and the score read 21 to 0. The second half, however,
furnished the best bit of football seen in Rochester for many a day. The Yellow
came back with tricks, end runs, and the whole series of open plays that you read
about in the back part of a newspaper, and these same plays worked like a charm,
too, for the visitors were outplayed. Holding Colgate to nothing, Rochestel
gained many, many yards and proved that she too knew the game.
Our old rivals at Geneva were booked to wind up Rochester’s football season
on their own campus, and the student body lived up to their reputation of a year
previous by following the Yellow team almost en masse. The outcome of the
game proved unfortunate. Hobart, refusing to accept a decision of the referee,
forfeited the game by a 1 to 0 score after Rochester had tallied a field goal from
the 38 yard line and a touchdown on a long forward pass to Ramaker. The latter
score was the cause of the dispute resulting in the forfeiture.
The thing which marks the season is the indomitable grit of the team indi
vidually. Captain Pray played cleverly throughout the year and his work was
a great factor in the success of a majority of the games. At center Bill Dunn
stood the strain of play after play sent against him by a team which outweighed
Rochester many pounds to the man and did more than could be well expected of
him. Joy at quarter ran the team acceptably. Duke Koegler at tackle was a
mark for Colgate, for they have been accustomed to send many of their straight
plays through his position. He played like wild fire throughout the season.
Abbott and Edwards at guard and tackle respectively, did good work, the latter
being new at the game. Art Connor, who came out late in the year, played an
end position and got much applause in several games for his work.
Benny Ramaker was laid up at the beginning of the year by an injured leg,
but in the latter part of the schedule he played with his usual cleverness. Frapwell
deserves unusual credit for coming into the squad at a time when his help was
needed most. He worked faithfully every night, sometimes with the first team,
at others with the Reserves, having the one end in view of doing it for Rochester.
Of the new men who got places on the squad. Teal Coxe was the most valuable
find. His work was of the best all season. MacDonald, of West High, was
seen in a few games at the first of the year and did well. Saulsman came out
for a little work and repeated his good playing of past years. Herb Ward
played through the two months with misfortune hot on his trail, for he sustained
several injuries of a serious nature, but his grit kept him on the field. He was a
source of great strength to the team. With the seconds doing faithful work the
men all did well and showed the invincible pull-together spirit characteristic of

158

any winning team. Dave Melen was fitly rewarded for his consistent work
throughout the season by being elected to captain the varsity eleven for 191 0.
Manager Ireland brought the team through a successful season by hard and in
telligent effort.
As to the pennant, Colgate would be the natural possessor of the bunting if
she had played the full quota of teams in the league, but failing to meet Union
and Hobart, the next team in line—Rochester—gets the prize, for the locals
defeated Union, Hamilton and Hobart, bowing only before the men from Colgate.
The season was not a long record of victories except in so far as one can
recognize victory in defeat. This Rochester has come to do and we point with
pride to the football record of 1909, representing as it does the earnest efforts
of Rochester’s loyal sons. That it may be but a forerunner of many such
seasons is the cherished hope of all interested in the continuance of football at
Rochester as a clean collegiate sport.

BASKETBALL SEASON OF 1909-1910
HE Varsity basketball team of 1909-1 0 was undoubtedly the best that has
ever represented Rochester in any sport. Starting at the beginning of
the season with but two veterans in the game a squad was developed which
worked with the perfection of a piece of intricate machinery. There was no
friction, no lost motion. Every movement had its purpose and was timed with
absolute accuracy. Certainly it was the fastest combination which ever wore
the Dandelion Yellow, and many think the fastest collegiate team in the country.
No rational person could deny that Rochetser had a strong claim to the
championship of the east. In the opinion of several competent critics, the college
by the Genesee had more of a hold on that coveted honor than had Columbia, to
whom the award was virtually made. A challenge to Columbia, however, for
a game or a series to decide the supremacy, brought no result except a letter from
the manager of the Blue and White team in which he characterized our claim
as an “emotional outburst.”
Captain Harman was picked by all authorities for the all-Eastern five, and
many persons held that Ramaker deserved the same honor. The records of these
two men are remarkable. Harman scored 64 field baskets and threw 1 75 fouls
out of 207 chances, a total of 303 points. Ramaker made 78 field baskets
against 11 for his opponents. He was not outplayed by any center he met.
Baker, of Ohio Wesleyan, was the only guard who could keep Park from
scoring, but even in that game, it was his lightning passwork which won for
Rochester. No player has ever been seen in the Alumni Gymnasium who “gets
into” the game in Captain Harman’s style. The other regulars are all remarkable
basketball men, although they have not yet equaled the work of the Seniors.
The rapid development of Harry Edwards was one of the features of the sea
son. Teal Cox and John Carey are both exceptional guards and many crack
forwards were held scoreless by their efforts. Bert Woodams was a fit part
ner for Captain Harman, and that alone is a sufficient guarantee that he is a
player of unusual ability. He is always in the team work and is exceedingly
accurate in shooting. An able second to the regular team was the aggrega
tion of Reserves who by their consistent work throughout the season gave the Big
Five stiff workouts and played their own schedule to a successful finish.
A total of 601 points to 2 71 for their opponents tells the story of the work
of the Varsity five. Our men won 1 7 out of 19 games, and balanced up

164

those two defeats, by Colgate at Rochester and New York University in
New York City, by winning in turn from each of those teams. The suc
cess of the team was in no small measure due to the work of Coach Arthur
Powell. Although he was forced to leave during the season on account of ill
health, it was under his tutelage that the foundation was laid, on which was
built the later success of the team. Powell has a wonderful control over men
and a thorough knowledge of the game. The combination of these two attri
butes with the spirit of true sportsmanship makes him one of the best coaches
who has ever served at Rochester.
The greatest attractions on the home schedule were Pennsylvania and New
York University. Both of these games were played in the Armory on account
of the demand for seats. On this neutral court the Varsity trimmed Pennsy
to the tune of 29 to 1 7, while N. Y. U. was taken into camp by a score of 25
to 1 7. Although somewhat rough, the Pennsylvania game was fast, still, it
was apparent that the Philadelphians were outclassed from the start. Ben
Ramaker was not in the game with N. Y. U., but, nevertheless, the Var
sity was in the lead most of the time. The Harlemites played a rough game
and two of their men were retired on the five-foul rule.
The New York trip was the real triumph of the season. Despite the loss
of the N. Y. U. game, that memorable journey was of immense value to the
college in the way of advertising. The first game, with the University Heights
men, was lost during the first half, which ended 24 to 10 in their favor. In
the second half the Varsity came back with a crash and scored 20 points to 1 0
for N. Y. U., making the final score 34 to 30. From this game, the Roch
ester quintette proceeded to the College of the City of New York and there
played what was spoken of by the New York $un as "the fastest game of bas
ketball ever played in the metropolis,” winning by an 1 8 to 14 score. On the
return trip, a stop was made at Oswego, where a 28 to 1 5 victory was chalked
up, the victims being the Oswego Normal School team.
There are only bright prospects for next year. Four “R” men will be on
hand and no one doubts that a team will be developed whose record will even
rival that of this year’s aggregation. One thing is certain: whenever a team
can be produced which is the equal of this year’s, it is sure to be a source of
pride to the students of Rochester.

BASEBALL 1910
ROM time immemorial the baseball glories sung by some enthusiast on the
Interpres Board were those of days which had passed into history. This
book if nothing else will be up to date to the extent that the baseball sec
tion is devoted to the interests of this year’s season. It may be dangerous to
violate customs of long and honored standing, but we are brave. Here endeth the
prologue.
Varsity prospects were bright at the opening of the season of 1910 and
practice day after day gradually worked the squad into shape. Ben Ramaker was
elected captain upon the resignation of Cassidy, and under his leadership the
Yellow has shown itself capable of good work.
Manager Spry arranged two preliminary games, one with a semi-professional
assemblage of this city, the other against a squad made up of alumni and Varsity
aspirants who no longer are mentioned in the catalogue. Both these struggles
resulted in scores of a satisfying nature to college supporters, and, too, the team
gained much valuable experience.
The first big game of the year was with Syracuse on her own diamond, and
local hopes ran high, for the year before the game was a shutout victory for
Rochester, but fate tipped the balance for the Orange. It might be added that
opportune errors contributed by the Yellow assisted materially in the tipping.
Anyhow the game went to Syracuse by a 5 to 3 score.
Syracuse came to town a few days later to repay the visit and once again
hopes ran high, but in vain. The easterners were slated to take both ends of
the meeting of the two teams and went away from town with the score of
3 to 2 as a reward for their visit to a big city.
Hobart loomed up brightly on the horizon as the next visitor. Their
reputation had preceded them and Rochester men looked for a hard game for the
Orange and Purple were said to have a team worthy of the Varsity’s keenest
steel. After the game there was hardly a spectator but would have sworn that
a hoe could have been substituted for the aforementioned steel, for Rochester
batted the ball merrily. Lamson got a home run in the second, and every man on
the team stole bases as though his family tree had borne burglars for many
generations. Hobart consented to play nine innings but no request was heard for
a tenth. The score,—13-1—is a fitting close for Hobart’s obituary.
One of the most pretentious trips ever arranged by a baseball management
at Rochester came next on the schedule, and considering its results from an un
prejudiced view point they may be counted fortunate. On April 29 the squad

172

left town, chaperoned by Dr. Stroud, for a week’s absence. That afternoon
rain interfered with a game at Manlius against St. John’s Military Academy.
Colgate was scheduled to play the host the following day and local prospects were
not of a radiant tint, for the Maroon athletes have a habit of winning when they
cavort on their own campus. Lamson pitched an inspired game and had Colgate
under the most perfect subjection. Rochester hit the ball with ease in the first
inning and one run resulted. This proved sufficient for a happy ending to the
game, Colgate being unable to get a man across. The victory may well be
considered a momentous one.
New York held the undivided attention of our heroes for the next two days.
Fordham came Tuesday, and again the team won a notable game. Joe Har
rington, that noble old Roman who has spelled victory with a capital V for
Rochester so many times, was on the slab and struck out ten men just to defend
his reputation as a hurler. Fordham was defeated 2 to 1, a thing the most
hopeful supporter of Rochester had not believed a possibility, since the New
Yorkers had shut out Yale a few days before.
West Point, noted for its ability to turn out winning teams, was the last
opponent of the trip. The Varsity played the same style of game that had made
the final score in their favor many times before but the soldiers had a better brand
and won. The score—3 to 1— cannot be considered a bad defeat, however,
for Rochester was playing the last of a series of hard games. The New York
trip will stand as proof of what Rochester can do against teams with big reputa
tions and a desire to uphold them.
Ramaker, Harrington, Lamson, Lawless, Dunn and Clancy were the
nucleus around which this season’s team was built. Harrington and Lamson have
pitched better ball than ever before and the rest of the old men are upholding the
names they made for themselves in years past. Kaiser has been given a chance and
has done satisfactory work. Stebbins gallops around right field and makes a
good gardener. For the Freshmen Schoen, Carey and Harding have played in
most of the games and will probably be valuable to Rochester long before their
college life is over.
The usual historian tells his tale completely. Perhaps this historian is un
usual, but prophesying is hard and dangerous work in these days. The rest of
the season must be left to work itself out in its own way. The team is assured of
every support and encouragement that Rochester can give and if hard work and
clever playing are effective June will bring the season of 1910 to a successful
close.

A (Contrast

1SG8-W10:

PROF. JOSEPH H. GILMORE

Everybody is familiar with the story of the little old woman who fell asleep
beneath a tree by the roadside; suffered an abbreviation of her skirts at the hands
of some rascally Sophom*ore who passed that way; and, on awakening, exclaimed:
“Lord ha’ mercy on us, can this be me?”
If our Alma Mater had fallen asleep in 1 868 and waked up at the present
day, she might have as much difficulty as that little old woman in assuring herself
of her identity—though not from any abbreviation of her skirts. They are suffi
ciently evident in the University of Rochester to-day.
Between the University of Rochester as I first knew it and the University
of Rochester as it is to-day, there is a marvelous difference in every particular.
Then, there was only one building on the campus. Now, there are six, with
a seventh in process of erection. The library (which was opened for half an hour
before and after college) was housed in one room now occupied by Dr. Patten
and Dr. Havens. The Department of Chemistry was forced to content itself
with the rooms now occupied by Dr. Slater. The cabinets of Geology and
Mineralogy filled the room now occupied by Mr. Watkeys, on the upper floor of
Anderson Hall.
The Campus, in those days, was a waste, unimproved field, surrounded by
an ordinary board fence. Now, it has been underdrained, graded, fenced, sup
plied with macadamized roads and stone walks, and adorned with avenues of
stately trees. Then, there were only seven members of the Faculty. Now, there
are twenty-nine engaged in the work of imparting instruction—not counting those
who are emeritus, or, as Prof. Wilkinson, of Chicago, would say, “played out.”
If we weighed the men of the olden time, instead of counting them, however,
a better showing might be made. Martin B. Anderson, the President, was an in
tellectual giant. He needed to be; for he taught Intellectual and Moral Phil
osophy, History and Political Economy, besides carrying the college world on
his stalwart shoulders. The University of Rochester was known in those old days
as “Mr. Anderson’s School;” and with reason, for it was a school and it was
emphatically Mr. Anderson’s. But, thanks to him. the foundations were laid
broad and deep and strong, on which others are to-day building a college, which
no one thinks of calling Mr. Rhees’s school.

214

Dr. Asahel C. Kendrick (whom the boys lovingly nicknamed Kai Gar) one
of the ripest scholars and one of the most genial and sympathetic teachers that
America has ever known, taught the Greek, for which, in those days, there was
far greater demand than there is now, lent a hand in the Department of Phi
losophy; and inspired every member of his classes with his own passionate, yet
discriminating love for what was best worth loving in the literatures of Greece
and Rome, England and Germany. Yes, and of Palestine too, for Dr. Ken
drick had drunk deep of
“Siloa’s brook, that flowed
Fast by the oracles of God.”

General Isaac F. Quinby, a graduate of West Point in the same class as
Ulysses S. Grant, though Quinby headed the class and Grant footed it, after win
ning well-merited distinction in the War of the Rebellion, was at the head of the
Department of Mathematics, and was “a mathematical shark.” General Quinby
could see into the intricacies of a mathematical problem better than he could see
the vanishing forms of the students who jumped from the window of his class
room, which (fortunately or unfortunately) was on the ground floor.
Professor Otis H. Robinson, from whose windows no man ever jumped,
also gave instruction in mathematics; and can enjoy, in his retirement, the memory
of many years of eminently successful service. He was the first graduate of
Rochester to be enrolled as a member of the Faculty, and laid his Alma Mater
under a special debt of gratitude by bringing order out of chaos in the college
library.
Perhaps the contrast between the times of which I write and the present day
is shrown more clearly by the fact that one man—my honored friend Dr. Latti
more: Serus in coelum redeal—gave all the scientific instruction which the
University then provided; while to-day there are eight instructors engaged in
different branches of scientific work. The catalogue used to say: “Students pur
suing a scientific course will recite with students pursuing a classical course, when
their studies coincide”—to which the Interpres wickedly added: “And when
their studies do not coincide, the scientific students will not recite at all.” That
certainly is not true to-day.
In the Modern Languages too, one man—the lamented Dr. Mixer—used
to do all the work; and did it admirably well. Justly did Georgy Olds say of
him: “German in his scholarship; French in his courtliness; Anglo-Saxon in his
manhood.”
For myself, I taught (or made a pretense at teaching) so many things that

215

I was often reminded of Holmes’s witty saying that he did not occupy a chair
in the Harvard Medical School, but a settee. I was appointed, in 1 868, Pro
fessor of Logic, Rhetoric and English, which meant also instruction in Elocution
and Oratory. But no man, in those old times, was permitted to confine himself
to the work of his department. We were woefully short-handed; and if there
was a gap to be filled, any man who had time and strength to fill it was pressed
into service. Too frequently he was permitted to fill the gap with whatever was
handiest to himself, which played the mischief with the curriculum. I distinctly
remember having taught classes in Tacitus, Horace, Beginner’s Greek, and An
thropology; and I am assured by one of my old students that I actually taught
a class in Moral Philosophy.
If the Faculty was small in the olden time, so was the student body. We
had an agreeable fiction that 40 was the average size of a class; but that number
was seldom attained; often the whole number of students in college was less than
those enrolled in one of our Freshman classes to-day. With so small a Faculty,
we couldn’t offer our students many electives—so we prided ourselves on not be
lieving in them. Chapel was held at 9 A. M.; and, not infrequently, the exercises
were diversified by an illuminating and stimulating talk from Dr. Anderson, who,
in those talks—often on topics of current interest—showed to the very best advan
tage. After chapel each class had three solid hours of required work, interspersed
with class scraps, gum-shoe fights and things of that sort, and then college was
over for the day. After I 2: 30 students were as scarce on the Campus as hen’s
teeth; and professors almost equally so.
We had no chapter houses in the period of which I write. Each student
found a boarding-place where he could, “thus securing the comforts of a home.”
For Athletics, we always had a baseball nine that could beat Union. Once
after shutting our adversaries out with a string of goose-eggs, the Captain of the
Union team said to our manager: “I don’t think your pitcher and catcher do much
credit to your English department.” To which Lansing rejoined: “We didn’t
hire them to talk English. We hired them to play ball. Have you any fault to
find with the way they do that?” Evidently the era of clean athletics hadn’t
dawned in the period of which I write. Later on, after Will and Ken Shedd
entered college, we didn’t need to hire Weidman and Kerns.
More was made of the public exercises of the college in the olden time.
Everybody spoke at Commencement. We used to meet at the chapel of the
Second Baptist Church, and march, headed by a brass band and guyed by students
who had eliminated themselves from the procession, to “Old Corinthian Hall,”
which we always found crowded to its utmost capacity. At “Sophom*ore Ex.”
sixteen men spoke, appointed on the basis of scholarship—which isn’t an ideal

216

way to get the best speakers in a class; but to the patient public, in those days,
a speaker was a speaker.
Those familiar with the University of Rochester as it exists to-day must
wonder how we got along, in the olden time, with so many things lacking which
minister to-day to our comfort and enable us to accomplish results of which our
predecessors hardly dreamed. But we did get along; and we did mighty good
work too. We managed to turn out such men as Joseph O’Connor, Breck Perkins,
and William Carey Morey.
The college has greatly changed; and changed, I think, for the better. We
no longer run hemlock and mahogany through the same machine. We give more
play to the idiosyncrasies of our students; and send them forth better adapted to
the widely diversified demands that society makes upon them. But there was, of
necessity, more of concentration, and possibly a sturdier manhood, in the olden time.
I sometimes think—though in this I may be mistaken—that there was more
of enthusiasm for learning.

Through her eleven years of faithful service in Sibley Hall, Mrs. Jane
Rich came to be a part of the college. When her time for leaving us came on
Friday morning, April fifteenth, there was no student of this institution but felt
the loss a personal one.
We, men of the Junior class, can pay but feeble tribute to “Aunt Jane” in
these words. With a Christian’s patience she did her best.

THE BREAD LINE
E march', we march in the bread line! Hie! Haec! Hoc!
The reason we march in the bread line is not because we re broke.
We love to be assembled; we love each other’s care;
And that is why we dine to-day upon the co-ed fare.
It’s mush, O hush! And milk divine,
And water pure, so fill your stein.
For though our feed is not the best
A true heart beats within each breast.
The thoughts within each mind, tis true,
Are better than elysian dew.
So drink! Drink! Drink!
Clink! Clink! Clink!
And drive away all care and woe
With a foaming stein of H2O.

THE KNOW-IT-ALL DEPARTMENT
HE Interpres is glad to accede to the frequent requests of its subscribers
for a department in which important questions of the day may be
answered. Do you want to know anything? Write to the Know-it-all
editors and have your troubles settled.
We are very fortunate in having secured the services of several authorities
on art, history, music and dressmaking whose knowledge along these lines is un
questioned. Mr. William J. Clancy, one of the best outfielders Rochester has
ever had, will attend to all questions on art. Mr. Francis E. Cassidy, without
doubt the cleverest dribbler that ever appeared on any basketball court, will
answer queries of a historical nature. After much thought and consideration the
Interpres has decided to intrust the musical and dressmaking matters to one whose
ability in these two things is too well known to need comment—Mr. George
Holton Herr.

Q. Is it a fact that the Venus de Milo was born without arms?
Subscriber.
A. I have been unable to get Dr. Denio on the phone so cannot answer this
question.—W. J. C.
Q. (1 ) What make of harmonicas do you recommend for sacred music?
(2) Should a princess gown be made without gores? If not, what would you
suggest?
Miss M.
A. (1) While I was staying at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York
recently I met a great harmonica manufacturer. If you will send me your address
with stamped envelope I will be glad to forward literature concerning this instru
ment. (2) If you have not already cut into your material I should not advise
making the skirt with gores. I have a pattern which I think is very pretty and can
be made up very effectively. Send ten cents in stamps.—G. H. H.

Q. Is it true that Washington’s birthday fell on Feb. 22 in 1 859 ?
Lemuel P.
A. Too true.—F. E. C.

224

Q. How much is the dollar of 1807 worth?
A. We cannot tell without seeing the coin. In a few weeks we hope to
secure the services of the well known coin collector, Mr. Isidor Schifrin, for this
branch of the department.
The Editors.

Q. Would you advise me to take a course with Prof. Patton in Social
Anarchist.
A. I cannot express my personal opinions through the medium of this col
umn.—F. E. C.

ism?

Q. I am not satisfied with Dr. Haven’s treatment of Adam and Eve in his
course in Milton. What is your opinion as to how Eve was attired?—Miss T.
A. Figuratively.—W. J. C.
Q. Do you think a girl with a liberal education, good voice and said to be
beautiful could go on the stage with some musical comedy?—Co-ed.
A. From my long experience in both the light and heavy opera world I can
safely say that you haven’t a chawnce.—G. H. H.

Q. Is there a headquarters in this state for the Woman’s Rights Movement?
Angelina K.
A. Kendrick Philander Shedd’s rooms are on the third floor of Anderson
Hall.—F. E. C.
Q. Up to a few months ago my complexion was my pride; but within the
last week my beauty has begun to wane. Can you tell me any remedy?—Hebe.
A. Although your question does not come under my department the editor
has handed it to me. I too had much the same misfortune a short time ago, dear
sister, and I had almost despaired of finding any remedy when a lady told me of
a cure which I am only too glad to hand on to another sufferer. Mix equal parts
of Madam Yale’s Mixture, Bagdad and Bull.—G. H. H.
Editor’s Note.—We must decline to discuss the faculty in this department and have
therefore had to throw out many communications which would otherwise be pertinent.
We hope to have a confidential editor shortly.

If you like the Know-it-all Department, tell others. If you don’t, you’ll probably
tell ’em anyway and we’re after advertising.

225

Once while wildly wandering
I walked into a Friday sing.
O Heavens! How the women soared.
And mercy me! How Sheddie roared
Gracious! But that man looked bored.
The women numbered 90 strong
And lustily they sang each song
And loudly lovely Levis played
And boldly brazen Batzle brayed,
And sweetly, softly, Shedd sashayed.
The men who gathered there to sing
Just numbered three from wing to wing.
I said to one, “Why are you here?”
He said “Alas ’tis naught but fear—I’ve got a class with Sheddy dear.”

JUNIOR FORENSICS—A FARCE.
Scene—Prof. Frazier’s Room.
Time —Any Tuesday, 1 P. M.
Dramatis Personae —
Prof. Edgar G. Frazier.
Members of the Junior Class.
Curtain rises on empty stage, seats, desk and chair. Blackboards cov
ered with Prof. Haven’s hieroglyphics. Sound of rattling dishes rends the air
and smell of culinary efforts from nearby cafeteria is noticed.
Enter Richard Roy Belden Powell accompanied by eight large books.
Takes seat in front row. Selects biggest book from lot and studies for
ten minutes. Looks at watch and sighs.
Powell: “Alas! It is indeed sad that so many of this class should fail to
appreciate the opportunities offered them by a liberal education. I have now
wasted ten minutes here waiting for the debate to begin while I might just as
well have stayed in the library with that book I couldn’t bring over with me. It
was too big.” (Reads a few minutes). “I do hope I do well in this debate
to-day. If I don’t get a mark of at least 98% with Frazier my reputation will be
ruined.”
Enter Barlow and Wells.
Barlow: “Hello, Powell! Studyin’? You’d better. If Uncle Bill gets
to you again the way he did this morning it’ll be all off with little Richard Roy.
What are you carrying those singing books around with you for?"
Powell: (Discovers four chapel song books in the pile beside him). “For
gracious sakes! I didn’t know I had those with me. I thought something was
wrong when I brought my books in here; they seemed so light.”
Enter Prof. Frazier. Walks down stage to desk leisurely. He is followed
by 1 4 Juniors who take seats in back row. Hutchinson comes into room on run
and takes seat next to Powell. The two immediately hold whispered conference.
Prof. Frazier: “Well, gentlemen, we are to listen to a debate this after
noon between Powell and Hutchinson against Remington, Mr. B. Remington,
and Mr. Scrantom, on the question: “Resolved that a BK key is the best
decoration for a watch fob.” (Looks around for the other two speakers.) “T he

229

first two men I have named will take the affirmative side. Does anybody know
where Remington and Scrantom are?”
Amiral: “Please, Professor Frazier, they are out on the steps smoking.”
Prof. F.: “Go out and tell them they are expected to debate this afternoon
on the question of BK keys.”
Amiral leaves room.
Powell: “Would it not be advisable, Prof. Frazier, in view of the fact that
it is now 25 after one for the affirmative speakers to begin their argument? I
fear there will be hardly sufficient time for a complete statement of the case
otherwise.”
Prof. Frazier: “That’s a good idea. Attention, class. The first speaker
for the affirmative.”
Cheers and stamping of feet as Powell mounts the platform.
Powell: “Prof. Frazier and gentlemen of the class of 1911.” (Re
doubled cheers.) “The question we are considering to-day admits of no two
views. The only fit decoration for a man’s watch fob is a <1>BK key. I cite you
to volume 96, chapter 5, page 468 of the Jewelers Review of 1900. There
it says that of all the —”
Interrupted by Amiral re-entering room.
Prof. F.: Just one moment, Powell! Did you find them, Amiral?”
Amiral: “Please, Professor, they are out on the steps now, and won’t
come in. They say the air in this room is bad, and besides there is no object in
debating the question as far as they are concerned. Remington has disposed of
his watch and Scrantom has three watchfobs now and wouldn’t wear a BK key
if he had it. He doesn’t think a key would go well with an Ingersoll watch any
how.”
Prof. Frazier: “Very well. I shall let the debate go on nevertheless. Pro
ceed, Powell.”
Powell, proceeding: “As I was saying, the Jewelers Review for 1900,
Volume 96, Chap------- ”
Abbott (interrupting speaker noisily) : “Go on with the spiel. We’ve got
those figures down.”
Powell appeals to Prof. F. for order. Appeal is sustained. Proceeds.
“In the aforementioned chapter we find that one of the most eminent author
ities on watch fobs in the civilized world has said that there can be no—”
Great disturbance in second row. Prof. F. hurries to scene of action and
finds the elder Helmkamp and Spaine fighting for possession of the Improper
Number of “Life.” Great excitement. After separating the two Prof. F. suc
ceeds in saving major portion of magazine. Class gradually resumes its usual

230

behavior. Going to back of stage, Prof. F. discovers George Snell, Rooney
Castle and the two Edwards matching pennies. Finding that Snell is cheating,
he stops the game.
Powell: “May I proceed, Professor?”
Prof. F.: “By all means, Powell.”
Powell: “This authority, in proving his statement concerning the BK
key question in respect to watch fobs, has cited us to the remark of Horace in his
fifth book where that immortal author said: “After marching ten parasangs—”
Prof. F. (hurrying down stage) : “I am sorry to interrupt your scholarly
debate, Powell, but the men in this class who are members of the Glee Club
have requested me to excuse them at 1 : 45 o’clock as they are to catch a train
at 2 P. M. for West Henrietta, where they give a concert this evening.”
Entire class, with exception of debaters, starts to go, irrespective of glee
club members.
Prof. F.: “One moment, gentlemen, after Mr. Powell’s clear statement
of the affirmative side of the question, I think it highly probable that most of
you have reached a conclusion as to the merits of the respective sides. I will call
for a vote as to whether BK keys are the best decoration for a watch fob. All
those who truly think the affirmative have proven their point, say ‘Aye.’ ”
Not a sound is heard.
Prof. F. “Gentlemen! I am astounded. Is there a man here who agrees
with the negative, who have not even presented their case?”
Class rises as one man and cheers frantically.
Prof. F., casting disgusted looks at mob, “You are dismissed.”
Class surges toward door.
Powell and Hutchinson hold indignation meeting.
Hutch: “Come on, Powell. We got 90% in this anyway. I’ve got to
go-”
Powell: “I can’t go yet. It’s only four minutes of 2 and I must finish
this chapter.” Resumes big book.

ACROSS THE YEARS
For Youth’s sweet sake I trust that all
Old beauties round us cluster.
For me the rose-leaves daily fall
And glories lose their luster.
—Joseph O'Connor.

How far away those voices seem
That come to me across the years! —
The backward drifting of a dream—
My merry classmates, comrades, peers.

I hear them now in solemn song,
Or daily class, or grassy field—
A busy and a hopeful throng,
All eager for the Future’s yield.

Far scattered they by sea and land;
But, my dim eyes suffused with tears,
I feel as once the pressing hand
And welcome word across the years.
And some—O Memory, hold them fast
Whom every fleeting thought endears!
Their names are sacred since they passed
Among the stars beyond the years.

I turn to Youth’s untrodden way.
Where every view inspires and cheers—
And living hopes with brilliant ray
Shine far across the coming years.
There lies the field for manly strength;
There wait the harvests of the will;
There the long struggle that at length
Yields victory to patient skill.
O younger brothers, looking out
Along the track Hope’s beacon clears.
Be strong, be earnest, never doubt
The beckoning Fate across the years.

When time, that lengthens forward now,
More brief in retrospect appears,
You still may gaze with furrowed brow.
But tranquil soul, across the years.

Does Your Hair-Cut
Fit You?
It is a fact, that not only are there no two heads
alike, but the hairs of no two heads grew alike
therefore your barber—to do ful( justice to his task
—to make the outlines of your head after the hair
is cut harmonize with the features nature has given
you, to add the most of manliness, force, alertness,
wisdom, or whatever your particular temperament
may call for that may be added by the proper use
of the scissors, must not only be a close and capable
student of his trade but must be a real lover of his
work as well.
It may appear to you a trifle unusual to be ap
proached in the supposedly simple matter of a hair
cut so seriously, but I try to make my business
and my work unusual in every particular—unusu
ally good—and I venture to say, if a poor hair cut
could give the same degree of physical pain that a
poor shave does, there would be many—possibly
not excepting yourself—who would give the matter
sufficient attention to at least call at my pleasant
rooms on the fifth floor of the Granite Building,
next the elevators. At any rate you are cordially
invited.
