FURNITURE and CARPETS go naturally together. We give to the Carpet trade constant study anil attention, which it does not receive when run as a side issue to some other kind of business to which it hears no natural relation. We simply state what everybody already admits, when we say. no bouse in the city can show so clean, so stylish, so well-assorted and so cheap a line of new Carpets as that which we have on exhibition for Our Trade. We haven't an old piece of carpet in our entire stock, and there are none of the most celebrated makes of carpets but of which we carry a full stock. Inferior makes of these goods never find their way into our carpet room, merely because they cost a little less at wholesale, and therefore pay a little bigger profit at retail. Quality is always the first consideration with us, and should be with our c BABY CARRIAGES. This is another line of goods in which we are the most extensive dealers in the State. Put all the other stocks of Baby Carriages in this city together, and you would not have, even then, anything like the assortment of these goods we carry. Our prices on carriages. as on everything else we sell, are but little above the manufacturers* prices to us. TOILET SETS. We keep constantly in slock over 200 different styles or patterns of Toilet Sets. LAMPS. We carry a larger line of all kinds of Lamps than all our competitors combined.

JOHN PURDUE No gleaming shaft nor granite block, Nor sculptured pile of cold, insensate stone, No chiseled epitaph of empty praise, Marks his last resting place. Himself without a home, he /-eared a place Where Science might abide and Learning dwell; Jl 'here . Irt should flourish long, and hold her court, And grant to every worshiper his meed. He sleeps — and tow 1 ring here above his couch, The products of his genius and his toil Speak louder far than wrought and figured stone, Of life well lived and labor nobly done. ">HE SOUVENIR is presented to a discriminating public with edito- rial fear and reportorial trembling. It has not been prepared in answer to any clamorous public demand, bnt with the single purpose of showing to students, alumni and the general public what a promising infant Purdue University is, upon the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the first commence- ment. The book and its contents have a local coloring, and will consequently be most appreciated by those who are or have been connected with the University. At the same time there is much that will be of interest to all. An attempt has been made to avoid trespassing upon the territory occupied by the college annual, and the editors hope that they have succeeded. The proper celebration of anniversaries is praiseworthy, and in some cases approaches a duty. When the return of a loved anni- versary brings with it added cause for self-congratulation, the observance becomes a pleasant task. The Souvenir has been pre- pared under the auspices of one of the many college organizations, but it is nevertheless representative of all organizations, classes and departments. There has been no acid in the editorial ink, and certainly nothing has been inserted which can give offense to any , / SOI VENIR. one. The editors beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of many favors at the hands of alumni and members of the faculty. Their kindly and enthusiastic assistance has been of nineh value in the preparation of the hook. The greater part of the art work in these pages was done by II. II. Vinton, '85, and J. T. McCutcheon, '89, although the editors are also under obligations to A. B. Rogers, '89, and Messrs. Taylor, Powers and Schniedtgen, artists for Chicago newspapers. The Editors. PURDUE UNIVERSITY. 0\V may we tell the story of Purdue's trials and triumphs ? To the old student who, in the class rooms and on the campus of his beloved alma mater has passed the hap- piest days of his life, what mat- ters it that "Purdue University had its origin in an act of Con- gress dated July 2, 1862," etc. The catalogue has told that story over and over, and even the editors of the Dibris allowed the state- ment to creep into their otherwise excellent publication. To say that "the endowment fund amounts to $340,000, which is in- vested in non-negotiable Indiana state bonds, bearing interest at 5 per cent," is the statement of an undoubted fact, but it is a fact which has been persistently poked at the public for ten years. The public would rather hear from the lips of the old man who occasionally strolls about the campus, the story of living long enough to see the wild limiting grounds of his youth con- verted into a home of Learning. When we put into type the statement that "On May the 6th, 1869, the legislature accepted a donation of $150,000 from John Purdue," what adequate idea does it give of the great heart and the unselfish purpose which actuated that magnificent gift? That offering and subsequent offerings represented the life earnings of a busy and earnest man, not money extorted in the practice of usury or made by questionable specula- ./ SOUVENIR. tions. John Purdue, by application and toil, amassed a fortune and then willingly gave it up, in the hope that the young men of the future might enjoy the advantages which unkind Fortune denied him. The people of Tippecanoe county caught the import and inspiration of John Purdue's beneficence. The tangible result is the Purdue University of to-day; the development, not the ultimate development of one man's idea. It has lived for sixteen years; not always strong, but ever hopeful. Ene- mies have assailed the objects and methods of the University, but they have been met upon the threshold of debate by staunch and unfaltering friends, whose belief in Purdue's future was almost religious in its intens- ity. The state was tardy at times in its obligations to the struggling college, but made amends for past negligence by an enthusiastic and unanimous declaration of its future support and encouragement. The enemies of old have gracefully come over; the evil prophets have taken up more promising subjects, and on the occasion of the fifteenth anniver- sary of the first commencement, Purdue is complacent, self-reliant, con- fident. The pledged faith of the government and the state relieves all anxiety for the future. Five hundred students throng the halls and lab- oratories, instead of the sixty of 1875. P'ifteen years ago there were three college building?; now there are seven. Fifteen years ago the meager attendance was largely from Tippecanoe county and adjoining counties; to-day every section of the United States is represented, and there are matriculates from Spain and Japan. Then there was but one course of study, and the curriculum was the subject of numerous experiments; to-day there are seven distinct schools. Why continue the antithesis? Fifteen years ago, Purdue University consisted of three buildings partly furnished, a faculty of six persons, a nebulous curriculum, a little apparatus, sixty students, and a grand idea. For an explanation of what it is to-day we commend to your attention the following pages. To students and alumni it will not linger in the memory as an aggre- gation of schools, supervised by a competent faculty. To them it will ever seem a home, a place endeared by pleasant associations; the scene of battles fairly fought, victories modestly won and defeats bravely met. The spoken name of the dear alma mater will bring to the student's mind, not so much the recollection of integral and differential calculus and other forms of mathematical diversion, as the gratifying memories of class pic- nics, society spreads, class day contests, faculty receptions, junior entertain- ments, and that red letter day at the Iloosier Athens, when the brave Wa bash eleven went down before our giants, shrouded in the gloom of defeat.

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. the last ten years the number of techni- cal schools has increased ten fold. We do not have to look far for the cause. In every city, town and hamlet are spring- ing up machine shops and foundries. Every article around us is machine made.- Whence came the designers and con- structors of these shops and this ma- chinery ? Formerly the designers, proprietors or superintendents arose from the ap- prentices, who spent years in the shops hammering iron, in order to learn how to design steam engines. For every hour's instruction they received, they worked a week for the proprietor. It took years to learn what systematic training would have given in months. The modern method of education is that pursued by the technical schools. Purdue Univer- sity has shops filled with full-sized tools from the best machine makers in the country. Students are kept in these schools just as long as they are receiving an education therein, and no longer. For this reason the shops are not made a source of revenue, a few articles only being sold, to show the students that their work, when perfect, has a market value. During the first two years the student receives instruction in the pat- tern shop, the foundry and the machine shop. He is not put in these shops like a machine from which the maximum possible work is to be ./ SOUVENIR. obtained, but as a student to be instructed, and he is given just as much as he will absorb. Parallel with the shop course he studies mathematics, English and kindred subjects. During the Junior year the student learns to analyze the machinery that has been surrounding him. He finds that a lathe is made up of such simple elements as pulleys, spur wheels, racks and screws. He learns how to design these and other elements, and the method of arrang- ing them so that he can transmit any required power, with any required motion in any machine. With other studies chemistry is taken up, and, by election, it may be pursued in the Senior year, thus obtaining the knowledge possessed by the technical chemist in any of our large refiner- ies or mills. In the Senior year the student takes up the laws governing steam and its formation, boilers and their construction, engines and their management. He designs various kinds of valves, and at least one com- plete engine. He learns the laws governing the strength of materials of construction, and a short additional course would fit him as an architect. The laboratories are fitted with engines, testing machines, dynamom- eters and other appliances, so that theory and practice are combined in the most approved manner. In the end. the memory has been strength- ened, the eye and hand trained, but, above all, the reasoning power has been developed to the highest possible extent. W. H. P. Crkightox, r. S. X. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE. DEPARTMENT OK BIOLOGY. HE special object of this department is Till to g lve thorough training in biolog- "* ical science. It is with this end in view that the laboratories have been equipped and the courses arranged. The required biological studies begin in the third term of the Freshman year in the School of Science and Ag- riculture, and are continued through the Sophomore year. In the Junior and Senior years the subjects are elective, with the exception of human physiology. The instruction throughout the course is in the form of lectures and laboratory work, supplemented largely by collateral readings. It is impossible to give a clear idea of the character of the work done within the limits of this arti- cle. Its extent may be measured somewhat from the fact that the stu- dent in botany has set apart for his study 870 hours, which, with the double electives in the Junior and Senior year, may be increased to 1,478 hours. In zoology the time assigned is no hours less. The equipment of the laboratories, apart from the museum and her- barium, consists of forty-three compound microscopes, chiefly of the Beck and Bausch & Lornb makes, with batteries of objectives ranging from three-inch to one-twentieth-inch; micrometers; camera lucida; polarizers and all the attachments ordinarily required for laboratory work; a Bausch & Lomb microtome; twelve hand microtomes, water baths and all the apparatus needed for preparation of material for advanced histological work; the simpler apparatus for experimental work in plant and animal physiology; thirty-six dissecting microscopes of the Rothrock type, thirty dissecting sets, injecting apparatus, etc. ; in brief, a fair equipment foi A SOUVENIR. work in all branches coining within the scope of the course. The labora- tories and museums occupy five rooms in the Main Building, and are fitted in the regulation manner. The department is greatly strengthened through the presence and by the assistance of the various specialists connected with the staff of the Experiment Station. In practical biological training, laboratory work, extent of course and equipment, this department compares favorably with any in the West. The rapidly increasing number of electives is, perhaps, the best proof of its value. Stanley Coulter. chemical department. No regular student of Purdue escapes a more or less extended so- journ in the chemical laboratory. Usually it is the Junior who first tastes the delights of this retreat. The laboratory, half hidden behind the trees, engine house, hall, Peirce conservatory, etc., is not a prominent feature in the Purdue landscape. It lies apart from the daily haunts of the Freshman and Sophomore, and, when in September the Junior directs his steps thither, it is, literally and figuratively, to an unknown realm that he comes. The building itself is not imposing; the style of architecture may safely be called severe without danger of hurting any one's feelings. The revolving affair upon the roof is not a graphic chemical formula, as some might suppose, but an apparatus for grinding up the wind and sup- plying it by telegraph to the Experiment Station. The funny little boxes upon the outside of the windows are not bird houses, nor are they pro- vided for the confinement of unruly students. They are ventilators, in- tended for keeping the air of outdoors pure. If one puts a very bad smelling or fuming substance in these ventilators, only traces will escape into the open air. In this way the atmosphere of Purdue is kept pure. At the rear of the building one may observe, without severe effort, a structure which gives the impression that the laboratory, in the process of growth, encountered an obstacle and flattened itself against the gas house. This represents the Renaissance period of the history of the build- ing, it being an addition lately provided for the School of Pharmacy. Within the building on the main floor one finds general and special laboratories, with desks for eighty students, store room, combustion room and director's office and laboratory. Here the Juniors wrest Nature's se- crets from her grasp three days in the week, and the Seniors, having be- come more expert at (w)resting, are able to bother the old lady during ./ SOUVENIR. four days of the week. Some others there are who struggle with great problems at all hours, and so one always meets with strange sights and sounds and smells within these precincts. A flight of stairs leads up to the exalted regions where students may commune with the Spirit oi Chemistry. As many as forty may often be observed here, communing away with pencils and paper with great application. They do this be- cause they love to. Other objects of interest on this floor are the appa- ratus room, containing lecture and experimental appliances, and the bal- ance room, supplied with analytical balances. The history of this somewhat battered and dingy but still convenient laboratory is full of interest and merit. Beneath its roof were born and nurtured the departments of physics and mechanics. The building itself was one of the first to be erected on the campus, and the department is one of the oldest. Prof. H. \V. Wiley was the first occupant of the chair of chemistry, and builded wisely and worked industriously during his ten years of service, winning for himself and laboratory lasting recognition. Following him came two gentlemen, who left only less lasting impressions because holding their positions less time — Prof. R. B. Warder and Dr. J. U. Xef. The latter was succeeded in 1889 by Dr. W. K. Stone. The chemical department has played no small part in the history and growth of Purdue; it has its place, too, in the memories of the alumni. The stu- dent of the present forgets all this, perhaps, and thinks, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.'' W. E. Stone. SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. . ERHAPS no department of Purdue shows so well the pushing, progressive charac- ter of the management of Purdue as this. Only a few years ago and the extensive field included under physics was given but a term in the curriculum; now the largest and handsomest building on the campus has been erected for the depart- ment, so much has its work been ex- tended. In the cabinets of this depart- ment is also found much of the finest and most delicate apparatus of the University. The School of Electrical Engineer- ing, the youngest of the technical schools of Purdue, has had the advantage of finding here the well planned and flourishing course in mechanical engineering. This furnished the basis of just such a course as the practical electrical engineer demands. The methods of machine work and principles of machinery, the theory and practice of the steam engine, etc. , are as important to the electrical as to the mechanical engineer. The home of the electrical department needs to be mentioned. The Electrical Building is, as the cut shows, an imposing three-story building of dressed stone and brick. Its large corner tower is the most prominent object on the Purdue campus, and adds largely to the architectural effect of the building. The interior is very light and cheerful, and this is an element adding much spirit to the work. The wood work is oil-varnished red oak. To briefly mention the rooms, let us enter through the taste- fully tiled lobby, into the large central hall. Opening from this is an office, a recitation room, three special experiment rooms, a large general laboratory and a dynamo room. The special experiment rooms are fur- nished with large stone-capped brick pieces, built on heavy stone but- tresses, independent of the building, so as to be free from vibration for ./ SOUVENIR. the most delicate experimental work. Two of these rooms also have brass steam fittings, so as to be used for special magnetic work. Off from the general laboratory is a work shop, fitted with carpenter and metal benches, a lathe, tools, etc. Naturally the dynamo room is a center of attraction. The various systems of electric lighting and power are here represented by dynamos, motors and storage batteries, and one meets the familiar commercial names of Kdison, Brush, Thomson-Houston, Gramme, Sprague, Baxter, Julien, etc. The motive power is supplied by a twenty- two-horse power Straight Line steam engine. The experimental lecture room and accompanying apparatus room are on the second floor. To enumerate the apparatus would take more space than allotted to this sketch. Knough that it is all of the latest and best designs, and admirably adapted to the work. The aim of the School of Electrical Engineering is to give the elec- trical engineer the most complete fitting for his work. The problems of electrical engineering are of the most varied and changing character. There are rapid changes and unexpected advances in every application of electricity to commercial life. Probably nothing better illustrates this than the extended use of alternating currents to electric lighting. Only two or three years ago alternating currents were merely a matter of curi- osity to the practical engineer. Today the claim is made for the alter- nating system that it is the solution for the difficulties of the past. In the light of such advances the Purdue School of Electrical Engineering has chosen the wiser part in making its course a complete four years' course, making a thorough knowledge of the facts and principles of elec- tricity and magnetism the basis upon which to build the practical work of the last years of the course. The Senior year is devoted to the discus- sion and investigation, experimentally and theoretically, of just such problems as are coming up before the professional electrician. The de- signing of electrical appliances and apparatus receives special attention. With the present start and the continual additions to be made, the school has a most brilliant outlook for the future. A. P. Carmen. SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. HIS department was founded in 1887. The work in the department is in strict keeping with the spirit of the institution, the object being to fit men to become civil engineers. It is believed the course of instruc- tion is such as will enable its graduates to rise rap- idly to positions of the highest responsibility in the profession. A civil engineer must be a liberally edu- cated man, and for this reason the course in civil engineering is rather more general in its character than that of the other technical schools of the Uni- versity. The location of the University is very favorable to the establishment of a school of civil engineering. The city of La Fayette is quite centrally located with reference to the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, Cincin- nati, St. Louis, Louisville, etc., and in all these cit- ies there is much to incite the interest of the students in the way of examining existing engineering struct- ures. In and around the city itself are numerous highway and railroad bridges, which offer excellent opportunities to the students of bridge engineer- The department is well equipped with field instruments of the most approved pattern, but it is hoped to extend the equipment as rapidly as possible in the way of models of arches, bridges, roof trusses, etc. A. E. Phillips. SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE. ?/X these so-called practical days, many peo- ple go about with the question, "What is its practical benefit?" on their tongue's end. No one seems to question the util- ity of the engineering courses. The)' are always approved, and their importance is readily granted. The apparent magni- tude of industries requiring engineers is at once acknowledged as sufficient ground for maintaining these schools. Very few ' people stop to think that the value of / farms and farm products is vastly in ex- — cess of the value of those industries for which engineers are trained; nor are they inclined to think that farmers require special training. The purpose of the Agricultural Course is to train men in such a way that they may follow agricultural pursuits to the best advantage, and at the same time be able to make some advancement in the art, and to aid those in their community who have not had a thor- ough training in the fundamental principles of their business. The course aims to make a man what he should and must be in these days of sharp competition; to give him a knowledge of the correct rela- tion of his land to its products, and of these products to other products: and to give him this knowledge in such a form that he will not sit around and groan about the degeneracy of the times, but will get out and put his knowledge to some immediate use, and, if necessary, adapt his work to the times. During the entire course, the student, in addition to the subjects common to all the courses, studies the best authorities on theoretical and applied agriculture and allied subjects. At the same time he sees going on about him work of the utmost value to agricultural science. And this work deals with the particular problems that are of first importance in our ./ SOI VENIR. own state. He sees and may take part in experiments on soils, crop rota- tion, fertilizers, cattle feeding, curing of cattle food, dairying, economic entomology, soil drainage, veterinary practice, seed testing, improvement of varieties of seeds, fruit raising, market gardening and a multitude of other things relating to the business of farming. He is prepared to use the results of this work on his own farm, and, what is of the highest im- portance, to properly plan and execute those investigations which will solve the questions arising in his daily work. His training is broad enough to lead him to correct conclusions, and so enable him to apply himself and his capital to the best advantage. A farmer with broad, sound training and good, hard sense is a most valuable citizen. This is what the Agricultural Course has tried to make, has made, and will con- tinue to make. H. A. Huston. ART AT PURDUE. XE of the facts long ago discovered is that a technical school without drawing would be as defective as a classical school with- out language, and that an Art Depart- ment was a necessary complement to the regular courses of study at Purdue University. So the School of Industrial Art opened in the pioneer days of the Uni- versity ; not with a blare of trumpets and a clashing of cymbals, as the de- partments do in these later days, but with equal force and the same gen- eral purpose. At the time of its beginning, this department occupied a single room in the building that is now used as the men's dormitory. Strange, what a variety of essentials emanates from this building, and how many of them eventually hold a place, often vision- ary, in the Ladies' Boarding Hall. To this place the Industrial Art School came after a very few years, having, owing to its own good efforts, crowded itself out of the room assigned to it in University Hall, by the ever increasing number of art students. Here it found itself large enough to fill a suite of eight rooms, the main lecture room being the best arranged room for the purpose to be found in the West. This, together with a museum, a room for casts, one for designing, three for wood carving and clay A SOUVENIR. modeling, and an office, were taken possession of and considered a dominion to he further improved and enlarged as the growth of the University required. Here the most imaginative may train his pencil to illustrate his thoughts ; and he with skillful hands may develop his imagination as well as copy from ever varying nature in every form. He may sketch his ideal, model it in clay, and perpetuate it hy carving it in wood. Industrial art hrings forth the principles from which may be de- veloped the essentials for every style of decoration. Nothing can be more delightful to the cultivated mind than the combination of the useful with the beautiful, whether they have merely the benefit of the result or are actually engaged in the work of creating. Anna E. Baker. SCHOOL OF PHARMACY. CONDITIONS were such in the year 1884 that the School of Pharmacy was established. It was organized in re- sponse to the public demand for drug- gists of a higher pharmaceutical educa- tion than that obtained by practical experience. The course affords a thorough prac- tical and theoretical training in chem- istry, pharmacy and related branches. In the Junior year the student receives instructions in experimental chem- istry, qualitative analysis, inorganic chemistry, manufacture of galenical and inorganic pharmaceutical preparations, human anatomy, materia medica, pharmacognosy, doses, pharmaceutical problems and strength and composition of medicines. In the Senior year he receives instruction in organic pharmaceutical preparations, toxicology, organic qualitative analysis, (proximate) analy- sis of urine, quantitative analysis, pharmaceutical assaying, pharmacog- nosy, materia medica, pharmaceutical synonyms, botany and prescription work. The morning hours are devoted to lectures and recitations, while the afternoon is given to laboratory work. A separate room has been fitted up as a dispensing pharmacy, and is used by the student in filling prescriptions; the student is required to read and correct prescriptions taken from the files of drug stores. The more difficult ones are to be filled by the student under the personal supervision of a practical druggist. Under the management of Professors Green and Spitzer the course is gradually improving. This year they have added ./ SOUVENIR. the manufacture of organic chemical compounds to the course, making it the only school in the country that presents this branch of organic chem- istry. The analysis of water has also been added to the course. The student is required to analyze several samples of water, under the supervision of the professor of quantitative analysis. This has been the most successful year since the establishment of the school; the number of students has increased nearly fifty per cent over last year, and the prospects are very encouraging for the coming term. M. E. Stout. THE INDIANA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. J HIS institution, maintained as a de- partment of Purdue University and the work of which is undertaken in the interests of the agricultural community of Indiana, is neither a local nor yet a state institution. It is national in its origin, having been established by an act of congress approved March 2, 1887, tlle object of which was to call into existence, in connection with the agricultural colleges already estab- lished in the different states, depart- ments or institutions for the express purpose of studying the principles underlying the great agricultural in- dustry of the country, and increasing the productiveness of this industry through the application of science to the practical methods involved. ./ SOUVENIR. while increasing the power of the producer through careful and systematic experiments. These institutions, though comparatively new in America, are coun- terparts of similar stations in Europe, the existence of which dates back half a century. They were called into existence in response to a direct demand from the tillers of American farms. The work undertaken by the Indiana station and the field recognized as belonging to it may be best illustrated by the organization of the staff devoted to the work. In agriculture the study of new methods, new varieties and new implements; the investigation of the characteristics of soils, crops and animals; the study of fertilizers, of rotations, of the principles of animal nutrition, of economical feeding, and the utilization of dairy products, form the scope of the work undertaken. In horticulture varieties, methods, systems of propagation, hybridi- zation, cross-fertilization and the origination of new systems and new products, offer a field occupying the energies of the department. In chemistry, the study of soils, of fertilizers, of cattle food and ot dairy products is each capable of affording results of direct practical value and application to daily farm affairs. In botany not only the botanical characteristics of plants grown as crops and the conditions controlling their economical production are studied, but to the sphere of the botanist also belong those other plants of hardly less significance to the farmer, the vegetable diseases from the existence of which his crops so often seriously suffer. The rusts, smuts, mildews, rots, scabs and other fungoid diseases receive the experimental study of the botanist, with the result already of having materially dimin- ished the losses heretofore consequent upon the ravages of these enemies of the farmer. In entomology the station finds a means for protecting farm crops from many of their most serious insect pests. The curculio, the codlin moth, Hessian fly and chinch bug are illustrations where success has already crowned the efforts of the station, while such other crop depre- dators as cut worms, wire worms, white grubs and army worm are still occupying the attention of the entomologist with the hope of at least par- tially reducing the hundreds of thousands of dollars' damage annually inflicted upon the farmers of the state by their ravages. The veterinarian of the station is devoting his energies toward pro- tecting the farm live stock of Indiana from some of the numerous con- tagious diseases to-day preying upon them. Glanders, hog cholera, tuberculosis and influenza are names, the mere suggestion of which is A SOUVENIR. sufficient evidence of the necessity and possibilities of work in this field. The station at Purdue has completed but one entire year of work under its present organization, yet the results are in the highest degree encouraging. The station has received recognition among the most prominent in the country, and the demand for the results of its work comes from every state and territory of the Union; at home, however, it has received the unanimous recognition and support of the community in whose interests it labors; its publications, mailed free by act of congress to all applicants, regularly reach thousands of the farmers of the state, among whom many new and firm friends for the station and the Uni- versity have been found, and numerous instances of the public acknowl- edgment of important practical assistance have occurred as the result of the experimental work already accomplished.

(HE Department of History and Political Economy affords the student instruction in history of the United States, general history and political economy. In the work done in political economy, as well as in history, the fact is constantly kept in sight that the student is to become a citizen. Especial attention is given to those subjects that concern the political and economic life of the people. Yen- little time is given to abstract theories and the memorizing of dates; on the con- trary, such problems as those that every good citizen must meet and help to solve, are the things that receive most atten- tion. Some of the graduates of Purdue will follow engineering, some scientific pursuits, and others agriculture, but since all must become citizens, especial care is taken to instruct in those subjects that will prepare for intelligent citizenship. It is confidently believed that the subjects studied in this department are matters for scientific investigation, and that to obtain the best results, the method of science must be applied. For this reason the student is supplied with material, directions given in regard to its use, and he is allowed to draw his own conclusions, subject to the free criticism of class and instructor. The library is the laboratory from which the materials are drawn, and not the least of the aims of the department is to train the students to use it intelligently. Oscak J. Craig. MRS. EMMA MONT. McRAE. LITERATURE IN PURDUE. S.ATURE is the expression in language of the attempt of man to comprehend his infinity, his universal nature. Man's self searches everywhere to find itself expressed. He finds his own mind, with its laws in nature, and out of the facts of nature he builds stupendous systems of science. In history he finds his own immeasurable self building the world's materials into definite, organized life. Yet science and history do not constitute literature. Literature is not an expression ot the real facts of the world, but rather of the ideals of the soul ; literature does not describe a plant, o r a star, or a fish, with scientific minuteness ; it finds in the life of these some thought, feeling or action, which may typify to man an ideal of his own possibility. The course of the water fowl shows the guid- ing hand of the human course, and the little flower in the crannied wall hints at all that God and man are. Literature does not describe minutely some phase of life of a city or country, and do no more ; it infuses into this description a breath of the universal human soul, and so makes the description of the life of Pere Goriot a type of human selfishness, human vanity, human ingratitude, human vice, contrasted with absolute human self-sacrifice and unselfishness ; literature does not merely relate the myths and legends of the prehistoric ages, it speaks there through the Iliad and Odyssey, the Divina Comedia, Hamlet, Faust and Marble Faun, but it makes them show the eternal solutions of man to the problem of life — the union of his finiteness and his infinity — and they interpret to him the spirits of the ages; Homer, of the Classic Age; Dante, the Mediaeval Age ; Shakespeare, the Renaissance ; Goethe, the Revolutionary Age ; ./ SOUVENIR. Hawthorne, the American Age. Literature thus has lor its province the spirituality of man in its ideal phases, as contrasted with science and his- tory, which treat of man's spirituality in what may be called its real phases. If a man is, then, to be truly a complete man, a woman truly a complete woman, study of literature must go hand in hand with study of science and of history. The study of literature counteracts the materializing influence of an exclusive study of science. The microscope, the telescope, the balance, the micrometer, do not measure all things ; the subtle illusive, self-active, self-directive, intelligent, loving soul cannot be put into a scale- pan, fused in a crucible, or tested on a galvanometer. It can be known only by insight^ and insight is gained by a study of literature, for litera- ture catches and fixes this forever moving essence. The course of literature at Purdue is admirably fitted to earn out this thought. It more than supplements the training in material thinking. In the Preparatory Department the beginning is made with American poems ; these come closest to the students' own lives, being perhaps most easily interpreted. The form of the selected pieces is studied as to grammar and composition, and thus furnishes a transition from the secondary instruction to the college work. In the Freshman year the time is spent on American prose. The beginning of the college work in " insight reading " is made here in the study of the characters of the per- sons Irving, for example, portrays, and in conversations on the thoughts and feelings expressed. The chief form of study of the year is in the way of rhetoric, leading up to the later work in style. The Sophomore year continues the previous work with English poetry, "brooks' Primer of English Literature " is used to furnish an outline of the history of litera- ture in England. In the Junior year English prose is considered, an especially minute study of style and literary form being made. " Minto's Manual of English Prose" is the basis for the work. DeQuincey, Macaulay and Carlyle's masterpieces are studied. The aim is to fit the student for an appreciation of the beauties of style, and this year's work closes the study of form. In the course of the year some attention is given to insight, especially in the study of Carlyle. In the Senior year is the best work of the literature course. The whole time is spent in a study of the thought and feeling of some of the world's greater poets. Shake- speare, Browning and Emerson furnish the student with the ideals of the life he is soon to begin. With the training of his whole college life inherent in him, he is ready to seize the problems of life and conquer them. It were not fitting to close an account of the literature course at Pur- due and its influence, without recognizing the most potent influence in ./ SOUVENIR. this line, the womanly woman, who is the professor in charge. It is superfluous to say anything t<> an Indiana public of Emma Mont. McRae. Let it suffice that Purdue is both fortunate and proud in having in charge of this department, which does so much for the spiritual welfare of its students, the one person in Indiana best able to make this highest culture a real and living power to them. J. B. Shaw, Jr. JOHN PURDUE. ~OHX PURDUE, who lias endeared his name to the people of Indiana as the founder oi the Purdue University at La Fayette, In- iana, was born in Huntington count}', Pa., on the 31st of October, 1802. His native village, Germany, located be- tween two small mountain ranges, pre- sented, during the years of his minority, all the scenes and incidents of pioneer life. It was a German settlement, as its name indicates, and the early residents were not blessed with any of the modern appliances that now lend a charm to farm life. Mr. Purdue's father, Charles Purdue, was a poor, hard-working, honest pioneer. John, the subject of this sketch, was the only son, the other seven children being daugh- ters. Times were hard in the pioneer set- tlement then, and John Purdue was early on the list of " hired help. ' ' At the age of eight years he was first sent to a country school, where he at once evinced his natural taste for intellectual culture. He made rapid progress in his elementary studies, and after a few yearsof great industry, improving every opportunity, he became quite proficient in the English branches of study, and was himself called to the school room as a teacher. While still young, his father and family emigrated to Ross county, 0., near Adclphia, and thence to W'orthington, Franklin county, seven miles from Columbus. After several years as a most successful teacher, Mr. Purdue visited Marion county, ()., where he purchased a quarter section of land, and at once went to farming. We shall not follow Mr. Purdue step by step in his commercial life. It was a magnificent success for the individual, but not less so for educa- tion in Indiana, as we will see. He first came to La Fayette in 1837, though he did not locate permanently until [839, when he opened a store ./ SOUVENIR. of general merchandise in connection with Mr. Moses Fowler in a building on the northeast corner of the public square. Soon after, he struck out on his own account and accumulated a vast fortune, which was ever freely distributed for benevolent and educational purposes. His commercial operations in Xew York city during the civil war were characterized by wonderful business foresight, unflinching integrity and substantial re- wards — so much so that Mr. Purdue's name became a tower of credit in that city. He was truly the king of the produce merchants in that great metropolis during his business residence there. His connection with Mr. Fowler lasted only until 1840, and he there- after made several firm changes until 1861, at which time he sold out finally, and became interested in the founding and building of the La Fay- ette Agricultural Works, the buildings of which are now occupied by the La Fayette Car Works. In 1869 he announced himself as independent candidate for Congress, and came very near being elected, his competitor being Hon. G. S. Orth. About this time, probably to further and assist his political aspirations, he purchased the La Fayette Morning Journal, which he sold shortly after to Mr. vS. Yater, present proprietor and editor of the Evening Call. In any historical sketch of Purdue University will be found a com- plete account of the transaction upon which was based the changing of the name of the " Agricultural College " to that of " Purdue University." Suffice to say here that, upon certain conditions, Mr. Purdue agreed to donate to the Board of Trustees the amount of $150,000. This beneficent gift, besides locating the institution near La Fayette, placed it upon a firm financial footing, and gave it the needed start toward a successful com- pletion of the high aim of its Board of Trustees. In the months of June, July and August of 1876, Mr. Purdue had not enjoyed good health, but nothing serious was apprehended. On Sept. 12 he visited the Agricultural Works and Purdue University, and stopped for a time at the Lahr House, his real home, where he had furnished rooms. During the afternoon he was conveyed to the Hygienic Institute, and left there by his nephew, feeling much better than usual. After eating a slight lunch and chatting with the inmates of the house, he retired to his rooms, where, about 5 o'clock p. m., he was found dead, lying upon his face on the floor, he apparently having fallen while attempt- ing to reach the door. The cause of his death was doubtless apoplexy, with which he had long been threatened. The funeral took place on the afternoon of Sept. 14 at 2:30 o'clock. Hon. John R. Coffroth, Hon John A. Stein, and President White, ./ SOUVENIR. after visiting the University grounds, chose a commanding spot in front of the Main Building, then in process of construction, and near the campus avenue, as the location for the grave. It was one of the best that could have been selected. The funeral was very largely attended, and the president delivered a funeral oration at the grave. Mr. Purdue lived an honest, upright life. Eulogies that tremble on the pen would fail to do him justice. He seized every opportunity of doing good as it presented itself, and it was only through his last and crowning act that the students of Purdue University enjoy the manifold privileges now spread before them. His words of counsel were always characterized by appeals for honesty and integrity. These principles he admired above all else. He was a careful reader of the Bible, and had in his library numerous works relating to the Scriptures. He was on intimate terms with many of the students, and always had a pleasant, encouraging word and a sunny smile for each. THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT. i Compiled from an article in the La Fayette Courier, June /-, r8?J.) J Thursday morning, June 17, (875, occurred the first commencement at Purdue. Owing to a severe rain storm, the attendance was not large. Among those present were Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, Hon. John Purdue and the Board of Trustees. After prayer by Rev. Joyce, now Bishop Joyce, President Shortridge presented John B. Harper, the only graduate, as a candidate for the degree of B. S. Mr. Harper delivered an interesting and able oration on " The Search for Truth." After he had concluded Gov. Hendricks came forward and de- livered the presentation speech. He said that the institution had made a modest start, but he hoped the graduates within twenty years would number one hundred instead of one. Gov. Hendricks was followed by Hon. John Purdue. He said he did not intend to make a speech; he only desired to say a few words. The institution was still in its infancy. He hoped it would grow to be a man. The college had a small beginning and, the speaker said, blunders had been made in the management, but he thought they would be overcome. He said that the governing laws were imperfect, and should be changed. Before taking his seat here- marked, tersely: " We don't get on very nicely." ( It was an open secret at that time that the founder of the institution was not in sympathy with the policy of the president and some of the trustees. — Krxs.) At the conclusion of the commencement exercises the visitors inspected the various departments of the University. The library was a small room in the south end of the dormitory, and there were about six hundred volumes on the shelves. The recitation rooms in the three buildings were visited, and the work of the students examined. Very little apparatus had yet been provided, and about all the six professors could exhibit were some mathematical drawings, collections of botanical specimens and some chemical preparations in glass tubes. That evening the trustees held a meeting and made arrangements to establish a military department under charge of an army officer. MILITARY TRAINING. )/,- — ' -j ^ - - \\0 the casual observer wandering over the campus \ of old Purdue, there is but little to suggest the presence of a military company, unless, per- chance, he meets some handsome cadet, in dark blue uniform and brass buttons, or should espy the stars and stripes floating from the flag staff on the armory. Since 1876 a military organiza- tion has been in existence at Purdue; but we may say that the present company was formed two years ago, when an instructor, lieutenant Pickering, U. S. A., was detailed by the authori- ties at Washington, to take charge of military affairs at the place. Lieut. Pickering was placed in charge, and under his able supervision an excellent cadet corps was organized. Though not compulsory, over a hundred students soon entered the ranks, and it is proven beyond a doubt that the company is a permanent feature of Purdue. At present the battalion consists of two companies of infantry, a corps of light artillery and a drum corps. The drill occurs twice a week on the campus, when the weather permits, or in the Military Hall, a building large enough to accommodate two companies of infantry and a detachment of artillery. Here the raw recruit is drilled in the vari- ous foot movements until quite proficient, and then he is given a musket and taught " how to shoot." The arms furnished by the state are of the latest improved pattern, and the training a cadet receives is as thorough and severe as at any military school or in the regular army.

FOOT ball, though a rough and dangerous game, is, for this reason, perhaps, an exciting sport — a game in which old men and young men, and the ladies as well, are equally interested; a game which once seen is never to be forgotten. The timid may cower and shrink from a ' ' scrimmage' ' ; there is nothing that will cause the blood to leap in an old college man's veins as when he hears the half-smothered cry of " down! " from the man underneath, or when a goal is made by some dashing runner. Among the athletic sports at Purdue, that good old English game ranks second to no other. In recent years much progress has been made in the training of the team, and to-day we possess an eleven that will not be excelled by any other college in the Indiana League. It was in 1887-88 that Purdue entered the lists with the other col- leges; but little was known of the game then by any of the students, and, as a result, we could not feel confident of success. However, after a few weeks' training, a fairly good eleven was chosen; but we were defeated by Butler, which college was the first to introduce the game to the col- leges of the state. The fall of 188S passed with no games played. The spirit seemed to have died out, but later developments proved that it was " not dead, but only sleeping." Early in the autumn of 1889 a college foot ball associa- tion was formed by the V. M. C. A. of Indianapolis, and Purdue again entered to compete for the laurels. Among the 450 students the prime movers in the matter saw much good material for a foot ball "eleven." The boys were put into training early in the season, and, when the time arrived for the first game, a noble set of fellows donned the moleskins and canvas jackets, and entered the arena. Good coaching, iron muscle and an abundance of " wind " carried the first day, Purdue winning easily the game with DePauw. Two weeks later a hotly contested game was won from Wabash on their own grounds, and Thanksgiving day the final game was played A SOUVENIR. with Butler to decide the state championship. Our men had not entirely recovered from their blows received in the two previous games, and, hav- ing a formidable adversary with whom to cope, we were unfortunately defeated, but not without a manly struggle. So much for a good rush line, a good coacher and the good will of both students and faculty — second place for [889, with bright prospects for the championship in 1S90. FOOT BALL ELEVEN. Geo. A.

The nine first came prominently to the front about [880 by successively de- feating several college teams and amateur clubs, and playing a cred- itable game with the Indianapolis Association nine. ( )f course Purdue lost. In [885 the nine was strengthened by a battery composed of Miller, '86, and Dickison, '87, pharmacy. So long as these men were in college the nine was invincible. When they left the team lacked a battery. In the fall of '87 Purdue entered the lists for a series of inter-collegiate games. Dur- ing the year Purdue won a game, and was awarded two on a forfeit, as follows: April 21, [888, at Purdue — Wabash iS; Purdue 7. May 30, isss, at Bloomington —Purdue, 3; State Univ., 2. June j, i.sss, at La Fayette— Purdue, u; DePauw, o. June S, 1888, at La Fayette— Purdue, 9; Butler, o. In the fall of [888, two games were played with Wabash, and Purdue was twice victorious. This was largely due to the effective work of L. J. Hord, 'So, pharmacy, who was in the box. In [889-90 the team lias not made an enviable record. Wabash twice defeated the Purdue team with ease. What we lacked was practice, team work and a battery. Purdue has individual brilliant players, and when the team gets into practice, the state championship will come tin.-, way. ./ SOUVENIR. A scheme has now been perfected for a schedule of games between Indiana college nines, under the auspices of the state V. M. C. A. The league is composed of Purdue, Wabash, Butler, Del'auw, Bloomington and Hanover. All professionals and special matriculates will be barred. Each team plays a game with every other, and the championship is awarded to the one making the largest percentage. Following is the roster of the team on April i, iSgo: A. G. Moodv, c. L. J. HORD, p.

By liberal cash subscriptions and attendance at all games, the stu- dents have made the eleven a success, and the same backing must be given the nine. Purdue has taken the proper initiatory steps by engag- ing a good coacher, and putting the players through a stiff course of training. TENNIS AT PURDUE. W.WVN TEN SNNIS' popularity at Purdue lies in the fact that it may be enjoyed by the lady element of the col- lege; nor are all men so constituted that they can appreciate a lively game of base ball, or live through even a modest game of modern foot ball. Lawn tennis has been played at Purdue since 1882 ; it was first introduced by Miss Peck, in- structor in Latin, and ever since has had a host of admirers and energetic participants. Lawn tennis is frequently sneered at by those sturdy youths who find more pleasure in making a touch-down than eating a Hall supper ; but never- theless it supplies a want for exercise to those mind workers whose eyes have assumed a leaden hue, and whose muscles are shriveled from neglect. The game affords a lively yet not a violent exercise, and the weary stu- dent finds tennis a most acceptable respite from study. On bright warm days the campus in front of the Main Pudding is a scene of mirth and interest. Eleven courts are laid out on the smooth turf, and the game is indulged in by old and young, the wise and the sim- ple, and occasionally beauty lingers to enjoy a set. The professor, the president and the preps alike succumb to the charms of tennis. This has been a remarkable year for tennis, and every month during the last year the balls have been tossed over the nets stretched on the green. Tennis is given i prestige at Purdue by the patronage of such wise ./ SOUVENIR. men as Professors Coulter, Phillips, Creighton, Golden, Arthur, Carmen, Turner and Sholl. At the tournament held last fall the badge of honor was given to Miss Charline McRae. -*&*£ FIELD DAY AT PURDUE. N class day, 1.SS7, field day athletics were introduced at Purdue. To the class of 1SS7, insignificant in numbers, the University owes the institution of class day and the accompanying athletic programme. The first field day was a success from a popular standpoint, but a disappointment as regards the records made. There had been little or no training for the different contests, and the entire programme was in the nature of an experiment. Since then, a great interest has been taken, and the sharp- est rivalry has existed between classes in the fight for honors. Several records have been made which approach those of professionals. sitor wishes to see Purdue at its best he should be at the field Class enthusiasum runs high. Class colors flutter from hundreds of lapels. Class yells mingle in harmonious discord. And the amateur athletes range themselves along the rope and pull like Trojans, all for the glory of being carried away on somebody's shoulders. day sports. BEST RECORDS AT PURDUE. Mile race. — A. J.

With the prompt sun arose the gay pic- nickers And quick attired themselves in queer, outlandish manner. vSome wore the gaudy trappings of mil- itia, others The garish knickerbockers, and a few Put on their Sunday suits, and blacked their shoes. Then flannel shirts of many hues, and scarfs Of odd appearance were unearthed and worn , And then some girt themselves with sashes, ./ SOUVENIR. Or else with belts, and few wore galluses ; One smoked a pipe, and many cigarettes. At the Hall there was a running to and fro, Activity was there, but yet no bustle, for Picnic costumes are not built that way. Upon the floor were baskets heaping full Of treacherous salad and large healthy buns, And cakes with much red sugar on the top. Soon down the gravel walk gay couples sped, The one carried a shawl, and he, the other, A basket and a parasol, likewise A camp stool, camera and a tennis net. Upon the steamer's deck, and on the barge, Down where the stately skiffs are moored, A crowd had soon collected, and they jostled About the barrel full of lemonade, and quaffed Quite freely, and made ready for the trip. Perhaps an hour, or maybe two, after the time Of advertised departure, the plank is drawn, and then The voyage is begun. The dagos play a waltz, And he who trips only the plain quadrille, Sits on the upper deck, and smokes, and rocky feels, While his best girl goes through the mazy dance With a rival.

Gets in his work, and walks on people's feet, ./ SOUVENIR. And stops the dance, and makes the caller mad. A Freshman desperado coolly draws A small-sized cannon, and proceeds to shoot At marks along the shore, and grimly smiles When asked to stop before he kills himself.

Between the dances, some adventurous fiend, Begins with quavering voice, " My Bonnie Lies" — But ere he perpetrates a single line, The cries of anguish cut his effort short. Before the welcome Black Rock comes to view The programme has become informal, quite; Some sing, some dance, some don't, some pass the word That So-and-So has waltzed with her four times, Neglecting in a shameful way the one Whose basket he had carried down the hill. A hat or two may be lost overboard, and dresses, Spotless at starting, are soiled and flecked with soot; In fact, the whole assemblage seems to wear A mussed-up and a holiday appearance. When the old Russell swings against the bank, Under the shadow of the beetling Black Rock, The crowd makes haste to go ashore, and climb The steepest hills, and tear their clothes, or else Collect in groups, and face the glowing sun, And have their pictures taken by the " artist." "Fis twelve o'clock, and there are cries for food, And hunger stamps itself on every face, And then the wail goes forth that careless ones Have left the ice uncovered, till a ton Has melted down to just a few small lumps. The lemonade is gone, so four young men, Who came along as stags, are started out To find a farm house, and some H ._,(). Meanwhile the snowy cloths are spread along The ground, and luncheon baskets are unloaded. Potato salad, chicken salad, lobster salad, pie, ./ SOI VENIR. Ham sandwiches, deviled eggs, veal patties, buns, Fig cake, white cake, angel's food, and cookies, Sweet pickles, sour pickles, olives — what a spread! A swift destruction waits the fair array Of tempting eatables, and, it must be said That some, half-crazed by hunger, do not act As one accustomed to swell dinner parties, But if remonstrance should be offered such, The information is imparted back, that At Soph picnics everything must go. The little ants make merry with the rest, And crawl about upon the cake, and gorge Themselves with sweets, and have a pleasant time. The daddy-long-legs interviews the pie. And wood-ticks wander up the trousers leg. The first to leave the picnic spread are two, Who take a hammock with them as they go; Disciples of stuckology are they, Who fain would shake the balance of the crowd. The afternoon goes by, alas, too swiftly, And merry are the moments as they fly; The varied forms of picnic entertainment Amuse the people left upon the Russell, But a majority have fled into the forest, Far from the picnic crowd's ignoble guys, To pluck Spring flowers, and spoon on mossy logs. 'Tis five o'clock too soon, and the bright sun A SOUVENIR. Which, as aforesaid, tipped with its splendor The dorm, and the gas tank, and the engine house, Now casts benign and rather slanting rays UpOll the picnic people homeward bound. They crowd upon the barge in wild disorder, With costumes nigligi and hair unkempt, With coats ripped up the back, and dresses muddy, They sing, and shout, and call for more to eat. The puffing Russell battles with the current, And seems, at times, to scarcely move at all, And when the homeward trip is half completed, The darkness shrouds the brave and gallant craft. The smoky lanterns cast a gruesome light Upon the dancers prancing to and fro, And often from some corner dark there come The soft and gurgled accents of the mashed. ./ SOUVENIR. Heedless of fleeting hours or sand banks dread, The devotees of pleasure whoop and howl, And load the passing zephyrs with refrains Of college songs, or musical class yells, And every one regrets to see once more The twinkling lights along the eastern bank. The wharf is reached, the baskets sorted out; With three hoarse cheers, and man}- fond "good nights,' The mob disperses, while the steamer's crew, Repairs the wreck and ruin left behind. With footsteps slow, and rather halting gait, Once more they wander up the gravel walk; The one carries a shawl, and he, the other, A basket and a parasol, likewise A camp stool, camera and a tennis net. He says good night, and leaves her at the door, And weak and foot-sore dormward takes his way, And she cries after him, " O, Mr. Blank, I've really had a lovely time to-day." WHEN the crisp autumnal zephyrs whistle through the leafless trees; When croquet is a sweet regret and tennis is non est ; When the base ball player stays in doors for fear that he will freeze, And the picnic trousers get a needed rest; When Mackinaws and yellow shoes are packed away with care, And the summer sash becomes a muffler gay, Then the college foot hall specialist emerges from his lair, And buckles up his armor for the fray. ./ SOUVENIR. II. ]'. rises up at 4 a. m. and runs ten miles or more; A plunge in icy water then before he eats a bite; He breakfasts on raw steak and toast, and quaffs a pint of gore, And works with clubs and dumb bells until night.

No more with boon companions does he paint the college town, And fill the peaceful residents with dread. UT out of all these hardships and this abstinence unwilling, There comes a day of triumph for the Rugby devotee, When on the frozen battle-field, unheed- ing winds so chilling, fie "scrimmages" and "tackles" in the hope of victory.

FACULTY RECEPTIONS. J that long expected unsealed envelope, student knows it well, and glad of : thought of a little society event to vary the monotony of books, he hails with delight the coming of the faculty reception. Thrice in the history of Purdue have such invitations been received and thrice have been accepted. A faculty reception! "Oh, we've all been there before, many a time," but on this particular occasion we are assured of a warm and hearty welcome instead of a hot one; and more than one appear before the faculty that night. During the evenings of these happy events, the two dormitories stand vacant and tenantless, silent for once. Xot a sound is heard, and all -forsaken do they seem. But at the banquet hall, how different is the scene! The soft mellowness of incandescent lights is put to shame by the sparkling eyes of the assembled guests. The timid, shrinking Soph who "flunked" but yesterday can scarce believe his eyes when greeted by s<> sweet a smile and so low a bow from ./ SOUVENIR. that very same professor. He moves onward soliloquizing that the rerep tion committee of to-night will be the discipline committee of to-morrow. The evening Hies so swiftly by, the hours seem scarcely minutes, until the plaintive air of " Home, Sweet Home" bids the student seek his four square walls, to dream sweet dreams, perhaps of the faculty reception. ■PW RETROSPECTION. WHEN first with awkward ways and verdant mien, The emerald granger, just from home, is seen. Closely attached unto an ancient " grip," With intent firm of culture's cup to sip; We see ourselves as others saw us, once, In social rudiments a very dunce. We well remember how, with ardor burning. ./ SOUVENIR. We leaned against the iron gate of Learning, And glancing up the rocky steep of Fame. Forthwith resolved that we would mount the same, With hay-seed intermingled in our hair, With open mouth and idiotic stare, With clumsy gestures and with shambling gait, We lumbered onward, starching foi our Fate; And having interviewed the " Prex " so stern, And numerous professors in their turn. We safe impale, on Learning's hook, a bait, And drop our line, a real matriculate. Our retrospection turns to Freshman days; And through the curtain dim of memory's haze We see a crowd come rushing into view, With yells that far discount the wildest Sioux. The "melon-colic " season suits them well, And where the eggs go, not a soul can tell; At Hallowe'en, when fairies are astir, Their pranks surprise Queen Mab, and shame e'en her; And ammunition they reserve in store, To pester even- worthy Sophomore. Where'er a chance for eating is allowed, The Freshmen always flock there in a crowd; And when capacity has met its fill They load their pockets with a wondrous will — A rambling, roaring, raving, raging raft; That has a hand in jokes of every craft, A genial, hearty crowd the whole day long, A whole soul in a body stout and strong. A noble Sophomore, sedate and wise, With mighty learning beaming from his eyes; With anxious wile his hook he slowly baits, And for conclusions sits him down, and waits; A Socrates is he of all his class, And reckons every other man an ass. With massive head bowed low in mighty thought, I)ee]> he will dig for jewels long unsought; ./ SOUVENIR. The Senior e'en knows not SO much as he; He oft explains to profs some mystery, Ami scarce can think the living fact is true, That this small world is large enough for two. The jaunty Junior trips along the green, With tie, the like of which has ne'er been seen; A stylish hat and slender little cane; A collar of which no one can complain. Upon his lip a shadow light appears, That gives fair promise for the coming years. His forte exclusive lieth with the girls, And oft to each one he his tongue unfurls; His heart is hroken many a luckless time, And he is melted with a grief sublime; Yet he survives it with a wondrous power, And starts a new flirtation every hour. If maiden coy his softened heart doth break, It leaves no "blasted future" in its wake; And so he passes through the Junior year, A very gallant youth, a cavalier, Our Senior, sturdy, steady, tried and true, Now with great majesty heaves into view. Before him, lo, he sees, with smiling eyes, His sheep-skin; dear, long-looked-for, wished-for prize. He peers into the future to decide Which art, trade or profession to bestride, And with a prospect spread so fair and bright, Sees naught of dark, inevitable night. The sea of Life is lying broad before; What may there be upon the distant shore? His barque is lightly rocking on the wave That may, perchance, but prove the sailor's grave, And bows unto the sea, with modest pride, Which, rippling, laughing, sparkles at her side; And as he notes the signs of dawning day, With brave desire he longs to speed away; But once he turn-* with honest, grateful heart, Regretful that the time has come to part. A SOUVENIR. When far in distant lands the students roam; When many weary miles from friends and home; When care weighs heavy on each manly brow; Nor smiles come quickly to the lips, as now; When struggling on the battle-field of Life, And oft near beaten in the fretful strife; A restful feeling comes as we review The memories sweet of friends at old Purdue. Karl, '85. ^jiMH^"' — &* CIVIL ENGINEERING CORPS. P URDUE BATTALIC GROUP ON CAMPUS. THROWING WATER AT C CO-EDUCATION. HK question is, " Is co-education a success at Purdue?" Rather. ,\£) Look at the alumni record, and see the list of fortunate Bache- lors who found wives among their classmates. Many a Purdue man has sat upon the stone steps with a fair classmate, the two reading from the same book, and, as they became absorbed in study and each other, Cupid stepped from behind the hedge and bagged both of them. Is co-education a success ? The idea of asking such a question ! Yet co-education, with its manifold and obvious advantages, did not ./ SOUVENIR. always exist at Purdue. The faculty tried to get along without any female adjuncts for a year or two, and then gave it up. The only re markable thing is that they ever tried it at all. Any attempt to throw co-education out of the Purdue curriculum would result in a riot. You will not find in the Souvenir any attempt to describe the typical Purdue girl. It would be another instance of trying to gild refined gold and touch up the lily with water-colors. The editors do not feel equal to the task of putting into cold type the myriad traits of her lovable char- acter. Our artist, however, has attempted to present a fair likeness of her in the initial letter illustration on the preceding page. The picture does not flatter her. The other illustration, at the top of the page, should not have been inserted, as it is a gross libel on the better half, or third, of Purdue. The likeness of the typical Purdue man in this illustration is not so bad. THE DFADLY MATH. A Junior sat with his head on his hands, In his room not overlj- clean; Xot a sound was there save the throb of his heart, And the hiss of escaping steam. He thought of days in the dim, distant past, When a boy, so happy and free, He had wandered down by the rippling brook, Or had chased the bumble-bee, A memory came of his first tender love, A maiden of sweet sixteen, And a sigh came forth as he thought of that face And those beautiful eyes— his queen. ./ SO I VENIR. His mind came hack from its trip to the past, And its course very slowly he checks, For before him looms up that accursed of snag; The eighth differential of x. To calculus then he tried to come back, But alas! his reason, it fled! With a dx here and an integral there, I regret to say he was dead. IN CAMP. ; FTEN we hear it said: "As much valor is found in feasting as in fight- ing. ' ' Therefore there was much valor at Camp J. H. Smart, down in the edge of the Wea Plains. This was a camp of the Purdue Cadets in May, 1889. The amount and maimer oi the feast- ing was really marvelous, especially the latter. It is certain that many sur- prised themselves with the amount of valor developed, displaying an amount which would have alarmed their friends at home. This development of a latent passion ( for pork and beans) was most severe on our very efficient commissary, as he was continually compelled to divide himself (or his time) between camp and the base of supplies, about five miles away, that there might be no languishing. But he did it well. When our first supply of coffee came to us in the whole bean, he hesitated not, but sallied forth to the neighboring peasantry and informed them of their country's needs, and brought back two coffee mills. The greatest mistake of this expedi- tion on the part of the military authorities was in not having closed a written contract with Jupiter Pluvius beforehand. For this neglect, old Pluvejust tried himself and fairly rained down his maledictions. But like true soldiers, what cared they when they had ten-ounce canvas over them? But, how Pluve did catch them that Thursday at dinner time, when the soldiers w/«/come out ! He had been damming up his hoarded .1 SOUVENIR. water, and he just with one mighty jerk pulled the plug out ! And that opening was vertically opposite Camp Smart, and the effect was awful - on the loaded tin plates fdled with various ingredients. Nevertheless J. P. had to give it up, and on Friday and .Saturday old Sol came out and rejoiced with the valorous youths below, and all felt goed. Lots of fun was had at target practice, hut the little red flag was nearly worn out, telling the man with a gun that they had heard him shoot, but that the target had escaped with its life. The big guns were kept at work, too, pumping iron projectiles at the unoffending slopes in the vicinity of the camp. The hills barely escaped, and so did the peasant in the field beyond, where he was plowing, perfectly ignorant of having artlessly come into range. Abner H. Pickering, U. S. A. THE DORM. r so humble," etc. — Old Saw. \Ot* are a reporter for the Souvenir? " ' ' Yes, sir. ' ' "And you wish permission to visit our young men's dormitory ? " " If you please, sir." "What is the object of your visit, may I ask ? " ' ' I wish to get some interior views ^k '' -gr | f° r insertion in the Souvenir, and also ^■j. 1 A ^W desire to interview some of the young men ^^^^rt a i' 1 regard to the forms of social diversion by which they while away their hours." " Before I pass upon this matter, it will be necessary for me to consult the president and faculty. Call around next Friday afternoon." The disappointed applicant withdrew from the presence of the " pro- fessor in charge." Upon the following Friday afternoon he waited in the hallway while the faculty considered his application. At the end of an hour the following was passed out to him: the bearer may visit the dorm once. Pkkxv. It is only by conforming to this elaborate red-tape system that any one. not an occupant of the home for studious young men, can obtain ./ SOUVENIR. entrance thereto. Other regulations of the faculty have, at various times, been regarded as existing in a Pickwickian sense, but the rule in regard to visiting the dorm has always been rigidly enforced. The dorm stands at a considerable distance from any other college building — a wise provision. It may be approached with safety at any time during the summer vacation ; at other times it would be better to provide a rubber coat or an umbrella. The building is four stories high, and contains about thirty suites of rooms. The architecture of the build- i:ig is of a hybrid nature, a mixture of the adobe and Egyptian schools. A view of the exterior affords no intimation of the elegant interior fur- nishings. This is why the people who never received a faculty permit to go through the building, are inclined to regard the dorm as an insig- ./ SOUVENIR. nificant feature of the University. To appreciate the dorm, you must inspect it thoroughly. Any one desiring to visit an inmate rings at the front door and sends up his card. He will usually he admitted, if he has a permit, unless he calls during study hours. Entering the front door, you find yourself in a large corridor, plainly but elegantly furnished. From this corridor doors open to the various suites. Chandeliers are pendent from the frescoed ceiling. All the frescoing was done by the students. A broad stairway leads to the second landing. There is a continuous stair railing from the first floor to the fourth. The stairways and landings are so constructed ./ SOUVENIR. that a person leaning over the railing on the fourth floor can accurately locate a person on any of the lower floors. This peculiarity of construc- tion has given rise to the practice of " hugging the wall." The uninitiated man gaily goes up the stairway three steps at a time and makes a sharp turn around the railing. As he does so, he places himself in range. If any one above is "laying" for a personal enemy, he may find the temptation too great, and take out his revenge on the new man. Resides, he can get more water, if he needs it. STAINED CLASS WINDOW. To describe in detail every apartment of the large building would not be advisable, if it were possible. Let us take a typical suite of rooms, one by which all may be judged. You are admitted by one of the two occupants and step inside. If it is your first visit, you are dazzled. A heavy Moquette covers the floor, and you appear to walk upon a carpet of roses. A subdued light filters into the room through stained windows partially concealed by heavy curtains. Upon the wall are etchings, water-colors and portraits of former occupants. The easy chairs and a luxurious divan A SOUVENIR. give an air of comfort to the room, but the hand-carved bookcase in one corner, filled with well thumbed volumes, indicates that the occupants do not vegetate in idleness. Articles of brie a brae are placed here and there, in apparent carelessness, but the general effect is pleasing. Step- ping from the reception room into the boudoir, you find upon one side the student's couch, covered with its snowy spread, and upon the other side the mirror and dresser and the lavatory. One can not help but exclaim, after inspecting the elegant apartments : " Who would not be a student, and dwell in the dorm ? " The building is divided into two sections, and each side is under the supervision of a member of the faculty, but the presence of the professor in charge is not often demanded. In the early history of the building some of the rooms were used for recitation halls, and several professors occupied apartments on the lower floor. The presence of the professors was annoying to the students, and the former soon vacated. The dorm is a building in which one may spend a pleasant hour, rambling through the corridors and looking over the autographs and inscriptions on the walls.

POET whose name is not recalled, but who evidently had heard of the Purdue eating clubs, once remarked that: Against diseases here the strongest fence Is the defensive virtue, abstinence. He was right. During the last fif- teen years the Purdue eating clubs have never graduated one case of gout. Sev- eral young men band themselves together for the purpose of getting cheap board. One of the number is selected as steward, and it is his duty to see that the table is properly supplied. He usually does his work well. Can good board be provided at the very nominal sum of two dollars per week? Certainly. Examine the follow- ing Aqua Pura. Peppei Sodium Chloride. Boneless Liver. Crackers — round. Crackers — square.

AND now in behalf of the society allow me to welcome you to this, our th annual entertainment. In doing so, I believe I speak " for every member of our society when I say that we are always glad to see our friends, not only at our annual entertainments, but also at our regular meetings. As a society, we feel that the present year has been one of great interest and profit to all of us. Emerson says: " !" How true this is, as applied to our literary work! Here, by our training in debate and parliamentary law we are fitting ourselves for the great struggle of life. We are laying the foundation for the future. As the poet very aptly says: The first on the programme is Mr. , oration, "The Future Destiny of ." The applause is deafening and the reporter on the front row jots down, "a scholarly production well delivered." Then, as the hand- clapping dwindles down to a few particular friends of the president, and finally dies out, the orator clears his throat, advances his left foot and requests us to go back with him a few thousand years so that we may gradually work up to the subject. The spell-binder takes the audience, collectively and figuratively, by the hand, and leads it around through the moss-grown rums of antiquity, ever and anon explaining why certain once powerful nations have ceased to transact business at the old stand. This being done, he exposes the Present, and proceeds to examine its pulse, respiration and temperature, and makes a diagnosis of the Disease. Then he prescribes the Remedy — Education of the Masses. Then he pauses for a moment, lifts his right hand ami tears in twain the veil that hides the Future. By the aid of his " prophetic vision " he tells us how the people a few centuries hence will be free and happy and smart, and there will be- no more strikes, riots, elections, courts or jails. The orchestra in the gallery brings the audience back to the rude present by rendering some appropriate comic opera music, and the de- claimer steps forward in the capacity of thriller. He has rehearsed over and over every intonation and gesture, and he is fortunate if the hearers ./ SOUVENIR. do not perceive this. The repertoire of the annual declaimer includes ■•The Raven," "Horatius at the Bridge, Hie Polish Boy," The Black How and Hi. Rider." "The Baron's Last Banquet" and several humorous selections. Sometimes he is not up in his delivery, but, as a rule the declamation is well written. The annual essayist is handicapped in the contest for honors; he has no chance to work in dramatic effects, figurative red lights. At the same time, he never breaks down m the middle of some high-flown apostrophe, as many an orator has done. The reception succeeds the entertainment. The audience follows the eight literati into the society hall, and offers congratulations. The proper form iSi ■• M r . , allow me to congratulate you. Your was the best thing of the evening." LOOKING BACKWARD. J. H. S.— " Gracious; but haveu't we grown since then ? " AN IMPROVEMENT OX WILLIS. THEY may talk of love in a cottage, And bowers of trellised vine, And nature bewitchingly simple, And milkmaid half divine; They may talk of the pleasures of sleeping In tbe shade of a spreading tree, And a walk in the fields at morning, By the side of a footstep free. But give me a sly flirtation By the light of a chandelier, At the Hoarding Hall of the college, And no third person near; Or a seat on that silken sofa— Great heavens ! who could decline?

HEN I was but a Freshman — and that was long ago — I saw her first, but did not learn her name; She was at a lecture, I believe, in the first or second row, And the Junior with her seemed to be her flame. He held her fan all evening and gazed into her eyes; Thought I, "Now, they're engaged, or soon will be;" But afterward the}- quarreled, as I learned with some surprise, When the faculty conferred on him G. B. Thatjvery spring a rumor in the college circles spread, That a Senior had her young affections snared, And after he had graduated, then the two would wed; 'Twas even said her trousseau was prepared. But this was surely a canard; when I returned next fall. She had a young professor on the string; He used to send her flowers, and frequently would call, And kindly turn her music when she'd sing. A SOUVENIR. The prof received an offer from some college in the east, And left quite unexpectedly one day; Within a week the charmer wasn't grieving in the least, When 1 saw her with a Freshman at the play. She had a gay flirtation with a special, taking art; I went with him to call, one Sunday night; He kindly introduced me, then I played a villain's part, For I made a mash, and knocked him out of sight. O, charming college widow, I never can forget The night when you put on my college pin; I pressed your hand and told you that the act you'd not regret, And you said you'd stick to us through thick and thin. I remember still the picnics and that moonlight promenade, Just the night before I paid for my degree, When we interchanged such sacred vows, and declarations made That we'd love each other through eternity. I heard from you quite often; I liked your letters, too; They were spicy, and chuck full of college news; But the interval between them soon became a month or two, And our courtship seemed its interest to lose; I didn't write for full three months, and one day I received, By express, collect, each love-sick billet doux, And though I swore that I had been both jilted and deceived, I returned your letters, paid the charges too ! Last commencement I revisited the scenes of college life; Six years had brought about a wondrous change. I knew a few professors who were glad to meet my wife, But the students all seemed out of place and strange. There was little to recall to me the olden time so sweet, And so it was a pleasure, you may know, At the field-day exercises, unexpectedly to meet An acquaintance of the happy long ago. A SOUVENIR. She looked but little older, her laugh wasjust as gay; Beside her was a gallant Sophomore, Who held her parasol aloft and gushed the self-same way That I had doubtless done in days of yore. I merely tipped my hat; I feared to introduce my wife, For I knew that some remark might lightly fall, Revealing to my better half a chapter of my life, Which I'd rather she should not suspect at all.

AM not hypercritical on points of punctuation ; A misplaced comma now and then is surely not a sin ; I overlook the sundry breaks of com • nion conversation, And only wince a little when a ' ' have saw ' ' edges in ; To wretched double negatives some friends are much addicted, They knife the good King's Kng- lish, and revel in its gore ; These queer idiosyncrasies are never contradicted.

A break like this affects me in a manner almost fatal, 'Tis worse than the " la grippe" (The above unfinished poem was recently found among the effects of a young man who had committed suicide, for some unknown reason. This publication may throw some light upon his motive. Perhaps he could not find a word to rhyme with "fatal," or perhaps he was shamed to desperation upon discovering that he had committed the common error of calling it " the la grippe" > LIGHT AND AIRY.
