To 'tHE READER: For the fifth time the ORIFI,AMME makes its appearance on the field of college literature. It does not claim extraordinary excellence for itself, although the editors have endeavored to issue an annual worthy of F. and M. To impartial critics belongs the province of judging how well we have succeeded. Our inexperience, we trust, will be taken into consideration by those who may be disposed to be critical. The beginning of this volume consists chiefly of statistics. As this portion is useful for reference, the reader may rest assured that it is as reliable as can be expected. However, there were other motives for pub lishing this annual. A college publication of this kind should never be dry and nninteresting. In order to give rise to a little pleasantry, we have allowed oursel\'es to be somewhat fanciful. We feel assured that those who know anything about the annuals of other colleges will know how to regard this "Flame of Gold." Attention is called to a change made in this year's volume. Heretofore it has been the practice to publish after the name of each student some quotation which was thought particulur1y applicable to his individuality. Sometimes these quotations had a tendeucy to inflict vvouncls, more or less deep, in the feelings of those to whom they were addressed. In the present volume are to be found statistical tables of the classes, which will explain themselves when referred to. This change has been made from a desire to be dignified and not unkind in referring to our fellow-students. We earn estly hope that this new use of an old feature will by all right-minded people be appreciated as a decided improvement on the quotation system. Bespeaking for this little child of our toil an impartial and generous criticism, we humbly place before the public the ORIFLAMME for 1887.

*Lefl College. 9 1]rsTORY OF '87.
HIS is not the hour for idle humor, nor maudlin fancies, nor yet for simious exag T gerations. We are on the threshold of departure. We have breathed heavily, we have groaned bitterly, and it has been said that '87 "roareth like a lion;" but let us now tread softly, mournfully, tearfully, yet heroically, until the order is given to fire the Centennial cannon, and with one occord '87 will be pronounced the strongest regiment in the great battle of education vs. ignorance. We do not seek voluptuous admiration, nor do we desire panegyric encomiums. or adscititious adulations, but SPecte1/lltr agendo. Since many do not know what our agendo has been, it now becomes the historian to relate, not spasmodically, inei:n'iously or frenziedly, but coolly and calmly, several facts which have taken place during the last year, leaving all remarkable occurrences for individual members to whisper into the ears of their "most devoted." 'Ve do this because we wish to prove om·selves honest (as we are), and if the historian told you some true things you lnight doubt them, since all other historians generally I-e. The first thing of any importance since the last history was written was the ORIFLAMME fight. It was of a high order. The election of the staff caused the greatest dissension, and until the ORIFLAMMF; was published there seemed to be dis satisfaction. We mention this fact because it is true and because it did us much good. '87 is stronger now than ever before and" quae pauci incipiant reliqos adstrepere." It is needless to say that we started tllis woutlerful work with trembling. We looked upon it as a dragon which would impair our physical beauty and cause our fathers to " put their faces into the spittoons and weep" on account of their spendthrift sons. What else could we expect if we were to judge by the past? Even now when you say ORIFLAMME to the members of '86 it makes them groan. Though disheartened antl fearful we went to work with the assurance that if '87 coultlll't publish an ORIFLAMME worthy of the name, no class at F. and M. could do it, nor any class of students in the country. Oh, those ORII"LAM1VLEmeeti11gs! There was no "Will you please do this?" " May we trouble you to see that rnan?" "Will it in.convenience you to write this ar ticle?" Oh, no! It was" If you don't have that finished by our next meeting, you've gotto set up the cigars or something better." "If you don't see that fellow this week,
fa H[STORY OF '87. we'll stretch you." " If you tl011'1. write this article, we'll shave yom' head." The meet ings were always held ill the .. barn," aud we used barn language, hence we "got there." Jly the way, it was lucky for the publisher that he was :fifty miles away, for not only barn lanf.,'1.1age but baru implements might h,\ve l)eell used. A few weeks after its pllhlieation there appeare([ ill the leading papers or New York and London II can't quote exactly. tll" papers are 1051)-" The ORIFLA~J.\!E of the class of '87 at Franklin and Marshall College is second to no college annual eyer published." You may il1lagine ourjoy, also wllal happened in the way of congratulating onrseh'es. '\'e I'ti11 felt uneasy, howcycr, Oll account ofthe .. boodle." Suffice it to say that the Philadelphia caterers pronollnced the banquet held on the proceeds decidedly the greatest studential feature they e,'er prepared. The men lL and toasts were pub lisbed in the (olll,ltt' .'::j[lIdt'li!. Defore we parted the last time as the" l'ltaff" it 'was ttllauimously decided that '07 had put forth the finest ORIFL.\Ml\IE ever puhlished or that eyer will be published at F. and 1\1.

... 1]ISTORY OF '88.
HISTORIAN'S DF;N, Some Time Ago, 1887. iJ!j Dear .A mdia .A lllaJ/da ll1a/z'ina Fit:::alfclI JOlLes : Il is quite a long time si.nce I wrote you my last lelter. Perhaps you have begun to think I had forgotten you altogether. But he as~urcd, I still havc a corner for you in my memory. 'VhiJe nlnJlllagillg about. the materials for a history of our class, I came upon your sweet image !Llld presently determined to tell you about the class to which I belong, viz: the Juniors. Now, my dear, you must uot expect too much from me. If you will take the trouble to sit down and try to write me a full account of all that has happened to you during the past year, YOll will at once see how clifficult it wonlc1 be for me to write a complete history of the Junior class. JuuiorR at one time were Soph01.ll0res. Between you and me, the Sophomore year was an interesting 011e. It "I'as the time whell we stttelied two noteworthy branches. The first is called Analytic Geometry, a very" tough" study, so called. A few years al!:o there was a Sophomore class in college whose loye for Analytic Geometry was very cold. But let me tell you, Amelia Amanda Mah;na Fitzallen Jones, that class made it. hot for" Ana," as they called the study. As you no doubt have access to books writteu for the purpose of telling people abont such capers, it is ullllecesary for me to say anything more aboul the fnte of ,. Ana." The ot.her branch of st.udy, my dear with a long name, about which I wish to t.ell you somet.hing is BotallY. Perhaps you do 1I0t know just what Botany is. '~':elJ, it is a sciellce which tells people how potatoes grow and onions shoot. It has some thing to say too about wild flowers. This latter function of Rotany is a \'ery vahl able one, because it gave the professor an Qxcuse to sen a u~ out into tlle cOlllltry to bunl wild flowers. In this way, yon may be sure, we had lots of fnll. I would like to tell you about some of 0111' trips for hunt.ing a very swcc!-smel1ing plant, which t.he smal-t people call simplocarpllsfirlidus. It would take too nnlch time, howeyer, to teU you all these little things, and besides I wallt you to know something about our trip to the renowued lllunicipality of Smithville. On a certaiu morning the professor led us to the railroad station, where \\e t.ook the train for Pequea. From HISTOR Y OF '88.
Pequea we walked to Smit11Ville, gathering wild flowers on the way. The last named place may be described as a ·place where our class took dinner and were amused by a certain Corporal Kelley, who tried to collect a quarter fr01l1 our "crowd" for friend ship's sake. Arriving by a detour at Refton, the class played ball uutil the cars were ready to take them back. It is a great pity, Amelia Amanda Malvina Fitzallell Jones, that you cannot go to college like the rest of us and go botanizing too. As you may not be aware of the fact, I wish to tell you that in the lives of our students there are three important epochs, viz: their admission to college, Sopho more" test," and graduation. Since you received my last leiter, our class has passed the second epoch. Now it is a common thing [or Junior historians to write about " test" in their class histories, and you might think it superfluous for me to refer to it again. I desire, howeyer, to tell you confidentially that" test" is the ordeal which determines who of the Sophomores shall become Juniors and who shall "go into busi.ness." It is the winding up of the first half of the college course. You will, no doubt, be very glad to leam that your favorite Juniors have passed the ordeal and are " pretty well, thank you." So important a year as the Sophomore is usua1ly regarded as worthy of some suitable way o[ celebrating its completion. Our class had no such celebratiou at all. We held class meetings and tried to hit upon some way of extinguishing ourselves as Sophomores, but nothing' came of tlle movement. As for holding a crematioll, that was a dream tllat was not realized. Perhaps, then, it was thought, it would be a good plan to get up a mock contest in oratory after the Juniors had held their Oratorical Contest. This scheme was not even attempted, and we finally made a feeble effort to practice for a Sophomore concert. The concert, ho·wever, proved to be one of those things which we didn't have. No cremation! No mock contest!! No Sopho more concert! !! Alack! Alas!! There was one thing, how eyer, my dear Amelia Amanda, etc., which we did have. Some of us formed an emhl'yonic Genuan society, the object of which was to give us practice in German cOllversation. And we did con\-erse in German too, you'd better believe. You just shonld have heard how nicely we learned to say "la, mein Herr" and" Nein, me in Herr." That's something, anyhow. The society was finally disorganized and disbanded, because so mnch time was needed for botanizing. Per haps at some future time" Die Deutsche Gesellschaft " will be heard of again. It is now time to close. Be assureu that. 'SS is doing well. I trust that your aUJuira tion. for our class is as ardent as ever. That Amelia Amanda Malvina Fi.tzallen Jones may be preserved iu health and foreyer enjoy the esteem of the Juniors is the humble wish of their HISTORIAN.

UR history is not a record of wrong amI endless strifes and struggles. Relatively O speaking, ours has been a serene and peaceful existence. In the first place, we were not stretched by the then Sophomores. But we had heard a good deal of this terrible ordeal of stretching, so that we were not a little disappointed when the class of '88 diclnot tear US member frolU me1l1ber. ',"' hen the Greeks had no foreign nation to contend with, they always fought alllongst thelllsel\'es. Accordingly wt' stretched oue another. At the beginning of the college year '86- 7 we stretched all recruits of our class with due formality and respect. This was to enlist them in favor of stretching Ule Fresh men. It worked like a chaml, and was the last argument used by the conservatives for the non-abolition of stretch-er-y. " 'Ve were stretched," they said, "we must stretch the Freshmen. " And so we proceeded to do and were doing, when 10 ! behold! some one in stentorian tones exclaimed: "In the name of the (Continental Congress) I command you to stop." 'Ve stopped. 'Ve slunk a'way, not reproved, but humbled in the eyes of the laughter-Io\'ing Juuiors ancl dignified Seniors. The Seniors had just taken upou themseh'es their laticla\'e of Senior dignity. 'Vith the usual perseverance of Sophomores we were bound not to go under all account of aile man. So we duly ll1et in class senate to propose mcasures of stretch ing and to adopt resolutions accordingly. " -e were all harmonious Oll that day-an ullusualthing for class meetings, 'Ye unanimously passetltlte following resolutions: .. Nesoh'cd, That Ule President appoint eight men-fonr ad\'ance, four reserve-to lengthen out the Freshman, and .. Nesoh'ed, That the Sophs stretch any parapragmatical interferers, the [acuIty excepted, unless it should appear in a body," After mature deliberation, we again made onslaught a week 'later, choosing the afternoon [or special reasons. Had the plot been executed as faithfully as pIau ned, the project would not have failed. But in the excitement of the moment we all rushed up pell-mell before our Alma Mater, under whose propitious shadow we expected to celebrate Olle of her ancieut and time honored customs. Ollr expectations c llISTOR r OF ':9. heing- realized, "hen lo! heholc1!! !'011le faculty 1I1an sudtlenly and 111y5t'riously appearcd Oil the scene ;-50 mysteriously, indeed, that he l'ame "cry ncar bein~ stretched by mistake. His office, (like the fabled kid on the roof to the wolf) hade us "disperse," whi ,It we did 1'. D. Q. At the next l1Ieetin~ of the class the house stood diYiderl; stretching was aholished to the ~reat consternation of the Seniors, joy of the Freshl1len, and pride of the Juniors :-pritlL' of the Jl1niors, because 111(1' claim to han aholished it. But we think to the faculty alol1e helongs that honor. "'e can't stretch the faculty and the Fresh man, i. C., we don't wish to. But why the faculty shoultl haye seen fit to interfere ril{ht here in 0111' class and, so far as llistol') has it, not h '(ore, is an Eleusiniall :\Iystery with 110 Socrates to rliyull{e it. The faculty made the plea that the Sophomore hortles were too protlil{ions for the fe" and puny Freshl1llln. If Russia ,,'ere to attack Switzerland, Enl{lan(l 1II11st interfere. But then "stretching is a harbarian practice carried into a Christian l'1yilization." So with the ancient l'Iassics; and I think, r heard some olle say: "Let's dispellse with hoth." The Sopholl1ores are inclined to think that a ~ootl stn·tchin~ teaches the" Fresh" a first allll 11I0st important III oral lesson,-hulllilit), a '1ualit)' that most college students arc apt to lack. How ahout stretching the Seniors? Perhaps then the faculty coultl look on with silent joy. But as we sail ulHlel' .. a flag of truce," our class is no longer dangerous. For the henefit of my uuinitiatetl n'ader 1 shall here state, the fal'ully placed a na~ of truce oyer us, and that the arlllistice has neyer heen revoket!' Thus has passed awn)" that tLrrible monster stn:tching, Closely allicrlto strl"tchiug is class·cuttinl{. Since strl"tching has heen aholishetl, we have heen unahle to gd up a I{encral class-cut. .\ lIIan is horn free anti indepl'n dent, but Ilowhel'c is hl' less sO than in class lIIattcrs.

The bright sun rises to his course, and lights A class of Freshs! He sets, and his last heam Falls on a Fresh i-not such as overcome By superior numbers, the Sophs holo Up for ridicule and lasting reproach, But brave, de·fiant Freshies-undismayed By the attacks of would-be" stretchers," Sophs, Strong in some dozen powerful men ; only great In that strange spell-a name. Each day wild yells, Or open attack, or lofty contempt, Cry out against them. On one occasion, An.innocent man, a stranger, (nothing more), Was stretched-stretched like a "Prep," by those who bore The names of Sophomore, because, forsooth, He was supposed to be one of our number, And therefore fit prey for them! Be we Fresh And overlook such a blunder ?-Freshmen, and- \,Vhr-r-r-r-r, bang! !! The shrill tones of the alarm clock wanl me to drop this su b ject. So, in humbler strain I shall offer for your consideration some of the important events in the early life of '90. 'Vhen the timidity which strangers natnrally feel, had been overcome, we began to take an active part in college life. In frequent "rushes" with the Sophs and in varions other things too numerous to mention we soon acquired the reputation of being" hard to beat." Even" Zeus" confessed: "I don't know what to do with you Freshmen." On account of the deplorable lack of interest manifested in athletics last Fall, there was but little chance for securing distinction in that line. However, 23 HISTORY OF '90. this Spring we expect to place in the field some strong cluhs which wiIldo good work in maintaining the honor of our class and in aronsing the donuant athletic spirit of the college. On Senior oration day we created quite a sensation by sLlspending from the top of the College tower a large class flag. It was the intention of the class that it shonld adorn the college until destroyed by the elements. It was destroyed, and that too hy a very bad elemE'nt; for during the exercises in the Chapel it fE'll i.nto the hands of thE' Philistines (Soph:;), hnt not before it had sen-ed its purpose. Class spirit is very intense in OUT men. Consequently 110 slight to the class will he encluretl. as certain students can welJ testify. One offender was captured ill a dark hall of Castle Harbaugh. and carried into a neighhoring l"OOlll which had been COll verted into a cham her of horrors. 'fhet'e before a ghostly assembly the culprit waH solemnly tdeu for his offcnces. A dim light disclosell ill variOLls attitudes mysterious figures robed ill white; the G. H. p. in awful tones repeating the tort.ures of evil (loers; aUf1 high above all 01L lofty throne. tlle \V. G. S. J. The child of clarkness was [oulld guilty and Ulen handed over to the mercy of the Lord High Executioner and his attendants. Thereupon there arose a few smothered groans and ---, The G. R. B. carried out the remains and the council adjoume(l sille die. Our class meetingll were held in Harhaugh Hall. Although there bad been many threats to disturb us, yet it was tried but once, and then it resulted rlisastrously t.o a Senior and a Juuior. These men kindly undertook to run our meeting. hnt unfor tunately for them, Uleir services wcre uot appreciated; for a mad rush was made at them in which the Junior narrowly escaped ',' stretching," on account of a boc1ily infinuity. The Seuior fared worse, as three of our men" wiped up the floor with him." '90 smiled when" Porker" fell. For some time the Juuiors found considerable amusement in singing" Freshie. get your class cut, class cut," etc., Oil account of our delay in selecting a suitable design, The song suddenly hccame unpopular whcn it was clisco,'ered that "Freshie" hau procm'ed by far the handsomest dass cut ever seen in an ORIFLAl\lME. Now " Freshie " sings UlC revised version: "Junior get your eye-teeth, eye-teeth-cut." Though there are mally incidents which mark the career of '90, yet we will not ahuse your patience by entering upon their consideration. You have seen "'hat we haye done. True. 'tis litUe, But 'we trust that you will overlook OUT .. frcshness " and consider that wc " 11 \'e and learn." Our motto: "Action proves each one," shall be an iudex to the character of the class, collectively and itHlh'idllally. Hoping that its history may lIIeet with yom' appro\'al, the class of '90 makes its bow and thus ends its first appearance in public. Hrs'l'olUAN. PREPtIRtITORY PTUbENTS. NAME. RESIDENCg. ALEX. R.

THE WEASEL AND THE TIGER. A weasel out walk ing one day met a tiger and immediately wished to be as large as he. Now the tiger hac! fed and thrived upon a fruit called "kno\vledge," but, as that was hard to obtaiu, the weasel concluded to try another kind called "self-assnr ance " or n conceit.)t The first year he Illade good progress. T h e second he consumed snch great quantities of his food and grew so very fast th at his skin almost cracked. In the third year he fell off a little in size, because he had overtaxed himself the year before. The fourth year, however, there was a good yield of conceit and the weasel grew so fast, that before the year was ended, when he had almost reached the size o f the tiger, he blew up andJwas SCt·lt-(tlz)ere 110 more. 51 THE JUNIOR.

They llumbered oue huudred, and a new member was added each year. They all sat around the inside of the tree, with their tails under them for cllshions. The occasion of the meeting was to test the merits of their respective books. For a judge they called down a wise old owl from his room ou the third story above their heads. Each read his book in turn, and after he was done, the owl would whirl his head around, as though he was screwing it on to his body, but said 110t a word. Finally the last squirrel, who was by much the jzmio1' of the others, arose and read. As he finished, the owl, screwing his head on one or two turns, gave him the prize. Just as he sat down, a sunbeam, coming through an old woodpecker's hole, fell upon his manuscript, so that it appeared to the others like to a " Flame of Gold." pOPHOMORE ~LtlSS.

'This wou1c1not have mattered 111uch, if it had not happened that there were more of the middling little bears than of the little bears; so that they imposed upon the little bears and beat them, and" stretched" them.

RANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE celebrates, eluring the present year, F the Centennial Anniversary of one of the institutions of whicll it was origin ally constituted and the semi-Centennial of the otber. This is an occasion of great historic interest, which certainly deserves the attention of the friends of liberal training throughout the land. Franklin College was founded in 1787, mainly, it is believed, through the exertions of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the most liberal contributors to its endow ment. Though advanced in years, he made a journey to Lancaster for the purpose of laying the corner-stone of the earliest College building, A record of this eyent was preserved by a French author, Hector ::>t. Jean Crevecoeur, who says in his book of travels: "In the year TiS7 I accompanied the venerable Franklin, at that time GovenlOr of Pennsylvania, on a journey to Lancaster, where he harl been invited to lay the corner-stone of a College which he had founded there for the Germans." In the charter the title is set forih as follows: .. From a profouud respect for the talents, virtues and services to mankind in general, bnt more especially to this country, of His Excellency, Benjamin Franklin, Esq" President of the ::>up.rell1e Executive Council, the said College sl1all be and hereby is denominated Frankliu College," Dr. Benjamiu Rush says, ill an essay ou the Germans, written in 1789: "A College has recently been fouuded by the Slate in Lancaster, for the purpose of diffusing learning among their children. In this College they are to be tanght the Gerll1au and English languages, aHd all those branches of literature which al'e usually taught in the Colleges of Europe and America." There had been several earlier efforts to provide educational facilities for the German people of Pennsylvania. In 1751 the celehrated missionary. Michael Schlatter, visited Europe in the interest of the Reformed Churches of America; and in consequence of his published appeal, a large sum of money was collected for the endowment of schools. One of these so-called "Charity-schools" 'was established in Lancaster j and according to a report ma(le in 1760 by Provost Smith, it was attended by sixty five pupils. The school-movement unfortunately assumed a political character and ., ., CENTENNIAL HISTORY. consequently proved a failure, but it is not improbable that the Charity School of Lancaster continued to exist, as a private enterprise, nearly, if not quite, to the founding of Franklin College. This supposition is strengthened by the fact that the trustees of Franklin College were required by their charter to reserve one-sixth of their income for the purPoses of a "Charity School" in connection with the insti tution. The early ministers of the Reformed and Lutheran Churches, in this country, fully appreciated the importance of founding a literary institution. In 1782 the Reformed ministers ineffectually petitioned the Synods of Holland to establish a High School in Pennsylvania. In the hope of meeting a general want Rev. Dr. J. C Kunze, of the Lutheran Church of Philadelphia, founded a classical school which was finally super seded by a German Department in the University of Pennsylvania. Under the direc tion of the Rev. Dr. Helmutll this department was very prosperous, but after the organization of Franklin Co11ege it rapidly declined and was soon discontinued. The act incorporating Franklin College was passed by the General Assembly of Pennsyl vania 011 the roth of March, 1787. The Board of Tnlstees, as named in the cIlarter, consisted of some of the foremost men in the State. Included in the list were several distinguished officers of the Revolutionary 'Var, and four of the signers of tIle Declaration of Independence. It had been expected that the Legislature would make a considerable appropriation towards U,e endowment of the new institutio11, but this expectation was doomed to disappointment. By the incorporating act ten thousa'nd acres of land, lying within the boundaries of the present counties of Lycoming, Tioga, Bradford and Venango, were granted to the College, the expenses of surveying to be paid out of the treasury of t.,J.,.e State. By a later act an old public store-house and two lots of ground, of Lan caster, were added to the donatiol1. It will be observed that the donations of the State were by 110 means munificent. The store-house had to be remodelled and partly rebuilt to make it serve the purposes of a College, and the land which had been granted was ullsalable aud supposed to be worthless. For many years the latter was a constant source of trouble and expense, but after many years it began to increase ill value, and was finally sold for a respect· able SU111. As it was situated ill the "oil region" it is a pity that the College did not retain its land a little longer. The charter, as granted by the Legislature, appears at first sight to have been suffi ciently comprehensive. The Faculty and Board of Trustees were authorized to grant such degrees in science and the libcral arts "as are usually granted in other Colleges in America and Europe." The College was empowered to hold property and receive bequests, "provided, always the same do not exceed in the whole the yearly value of 70 CENTENNIAL HlSTOR Y ten thousand pounds, valuing one Portugal half Johannes weighing uine penny weights, at three pounds." Though apparently so liberal, the charter was in some respects cllmbrous and defective. Fifteen of the Trustees were to be of the Lutheran Church, fifteen of the Reformed, "the remainder to be chosen from any other society of Christians." In guarding the various interests represented minute regnlations conceruing meetings and elections were adopted, which subsequently interfered materially with the suc cessful working of the institution. Notwithstandiug the disappointment which had been felt with respect to the State appropriation, the friends of Franklin College proceeded to organize the new institu tion on what they regarded as a broad and comprehensive basis. Men of eminence were invited to accept professorships, and salaries were promised which, it must be confessed, were not warranted by the finaucial condition of the College. The dedication, on the 5th of June, 1787, appears to have been a brilliant affair. If the programme was fully carried out, the procession was grand and ill1posing; and the addresses by Drs. Muhlenberg and Hutchins-which were afterwards published -manifested a high order of literary excellence. It was, however, on this occasion thaL the troubles began which proved almost fatal to the institution. In his address Dr. Hutchins, who had accepted a professorship, made some remarks which may be mildly characterized as imprudent. Among other things he said: "As the limited capacity of man can seldom attain excellence ill more than one language, the study of English will demand the principal attention of your children." Howeyer innocent such utterances may now appear to have been, it should be remembered that the audience was principally composed of Germans whose chief purpose ill establishing a College was to do honor to their language and nationality. Dr. Hutchins was an Episcopal clergyman, and must have known that his election to a professorship had been declared by the enemies of the College to be a "a movement in behalf of the es tablishment of the Church of England in America." Under the circumstances his address manifested a lamentable want of tact and discretion, and its results were disastrous. It wonId have been much better to employ language like that of Dr. Beujamin Rush ill his" Essay on tbe Germans," written two years later: "Do not contend with their prejudices in favor of their language. It will be the channel through which the knowledge and discoveries of the wisest nations in Europe may be conveyed into our country." In consequence, probably, of the nnpleasantness created by these nntimely re marks, it was found necessary to divide the new College into two sections or depart ments. The German department was conducted by Professors Melsheimer and Reichenbach, and the English by Dr. Hutchins and Prof. Stewart. Though the Pres i- CE.VTK\7Xf_1L HISTORY. dent, Dr. l\Iuhlenberg, succeeded in presen'ing a certain external unity, it is evident thut the two departments occupied a position of mutual rivalry, if not antagonism. It was found impracticable to fonn rel',>l1lur College classes. Many of the subscribers to the endowment withdrew their subscriptions, and the institution became, at best, a goou academy, rather than a regular College. Among the professors there were, however, se\"eral who occupied a prominent position in literature and science. Rev. Dr. H. E. Muhlenberg was a botanist of the highest distinction; Prof. F. V. l\Ielsheimer is called "the father of American ento mology;" Prof. \Vi11iam Reichenhach was a \"olnminous author on religious sub jects ; James Ross prepared his celebrated Latiu Grammar, about I80T, while he was a professor ill Franklin College; Prof. Benedict Schipher was ill conjunction wit.h Dr lVrLlhlenberg, the author of a t:.er111an aud English Dictionary which was extensively circulated. Among the 1lI0st eminent teachers at a later date were the Rev. \V. C. Brownlee and Prof. Thor 1'. Norr, a native of Denmark, who is st.ill kindly remem hered by some of the oldest citizens of I MARSHALL COLLEGE, hefore its re1l1oyal to r,ancaRter, was located in the village of .l\1el-cershurg. ill Fran klin county. Penna. 1t grew originally out of the High School of the Reformed Church which had been founded in 1831, at York, Pa., where the Theological Semittary was at that tiltle located. A~ the institution became prosperous there wa~ a general desire to raise it to the rank of a College. It was once proposed to estahlish it itt Lancaster, in cOl1nection with Franklin College. hilt at that place the in~titlltiol1 would have been under the control of several denomina tions. an arrangelllent which had already provcd ullsuccessfu1. Proposals were receh-ed fr0111 several places. and as those presented by the citizens of l\lercersburg appeared to he 1I10st liberal the new College was founded in that beautiful mountain ,--illage. It was incorporated itt 1851, hy U,e I.,egis!ature of Penn sylvania. which at the same tillle ,"oted an appropriation of tweh'e thousand dollars towards its endowment. The institutiou was nallled in honor of Chief Justice John Marshall, of Virginia, who was then in the zenith of his fame bill died the same year. Re,-. Dr. F. A. Ranch, wbo ha,\ preyiously been principal ofUle High Behoo!. became the first president of tlte College. He ~\' as born in (~enually in 1806. and for some time before his emigration had been professor extraordll1ary at Giessen. Dr. Rauch was a distinguished scholandlO by the puhlication of his" Psychology" may be sai,j to haye introduced this science to the attention of American students. He died in IS.p. ReY. john 'Villialllsoll :1' 73 CENTE:.N./\'IAL H£S7VRr. Though Marshall College appeared to be prosperous it was not generally known that its financial condition was very discouraging. It received no large gifts, a1~d its income was not sufficient to meet CUl-rent expenses. The members of the faculty re ceived very small salaries, and most of them were compelled to eke out their living either by teaching in the Theological Seminary or by preaching for neighboring churches. Inuced, it became evident that unless relief could in some way be secured the financial ambarrassments of the institution would soon be insurmountahle. For these and other reasons the authorities of IHarshall were disposed to regard favor ably the propositions for union which were presented by the trustees of Franklin College. It was, we think, an important movement, which has led to the happiest results. Hithcrto the tendency has been to multiply Colleges and to isolate them. It would be a great' advance iu the cause of liberal euucatioll if, in many instances, several Colleges could be united ann thus strengthen cd for a higher order of Usefllllless. FRANKLIN and MARSHALL COLLEGE was fomlally opened at Lancaster, on the 7th of June, 1853. Addresses on this occasion were delivered by Iron. A. L. Hayes, the Rev. 1(r. J. W. Nevin, and the Rt. Rev. Alonzo Potter, D. D., Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Pennsylvania. Vntil 1856 the exercises of the College \\ere COIl ducted in the hnilding on Lime street, originally belonging to Franklin Collegc, but in the mean time a fund of h\'enty-five thousand dollars was raised in the city and county of Lancaster, and the present College building erected on ground purchased for t11at purpose. The balls of the Diagnothian and Grethean Literary Societies \\ere erected mainly by means of contributions received from members or by their personal solici tation. They wcre formally opened, July 28, 1857. At the time oftbe removal the presidency was offered to Rev. Dr. Philip Schaff, professor in the Theological Seminary at Mercersburg. IIe declined the call, and the office was vacant for more than a year. Rev. E. V. Gerhart, D. D., was elected ill the fall of 1854, anu cntered on his duties in the spring of the folJo\\;ing year. lIe was president until IS66, when he was 'succeeded by Rev. Dr. J. \V. Nevin, who harl been presi(lent of Marshall Collegc before its renlOyal. Dr. Nevin's second term of service continue(l until 1876. He was succeeded by Rev. T. G. Apple, D. D., LL. D., who is the present incumbent. After his v,'ithdrawal from the presidency, Dr. Nevin lived in retirement at Crernar von Place, near Lancaster, until June 6, 1886, when he quietly passed away from earth_ 'rhe earliest members of the faculty of Franklin and Marshall College had, with a single exception, been previously connected with Marshall. Prof. A. L. Koeppen be came Prof. of History antl German Literature immediately after the removal, and continned to occupy tllis position until r861. He was a native of Denmark, but had CENTENNIAL HISTOR Y. spent many years ill Greece, and for ten years held a professorship in the Univer sity of Athens. His scholarship was extraordinary, but he was very eccentric. During his term of service he wrote and published" The \Vorld in the Middle Ages," a work which is still known and valued by historians.

Though it might be possible to increase the number of students hy establishing scientific or elective courses, it has been fell that to do so uuder present circumstances would cripple the classical course without other wise benefitting the institution. Our College has no euorUlOUS endowment snch as it has been the good fortune of certain other institutions to recei,·e. In 1873, Mr. Lewis Aurlenried, of Philadelphia, hequeathed to the College the snm of thirty-five thonsand (lollars, which was lUltil that time the largest amount it had ever received froUl a sing-Ie individual. 1'he more recent donation of the \Vilhe111l family, of SOlllerset county, consists to a great extent of real estate which will, no doubt, prove very valuable, but cannot now be exactly estimated. Mr. Charles Santee, of Philadelphia, has recently presented ten thousand dollars to the endowment fund, and 1111's. James 1\1. Hood, of Frederick city, lIIary land, hy a gift of ten thousand dollars, has foullded the Daniel Scholl Obsen'atory, which is now completed and furnished with all the necessary appliances for success ful astronomical work. The College is under the fostering care of the Reformed CllUrch, but its course of instruction is in no sense denominational. There is a reg-ularlyorganized congrega tion, consisting principally of the professors and tileir families, with such students as may desire to be connected with it, which holds its services in the College chapel ; but students whose parents belong to other denominations are permitted to worship elsewhere, as their parents may direct. In short, the institution is Christian, but its religious teachings are not sectarian, and are solely intended to aid the student in the formation of a virtuous character. The friends of Franklin and Marshall College should make an earnest effort to ex tend its usefulness. The foundations are firmly laid. and there is every inducemen t 75 CENTENNiAL HIS TOR 1. to earnest and unremitting labor. Every addition to the endowment can now be made to tell powerfully in the cause of higher education. The labors of a century have not been in vain. Many of the alumni occupy high positions in church and state, and the standard maintained by the institution is everywhere recognized and respected. The time has come to extend its operations, and thus to secure for it the position and inflnence to which it is justly entitled. • 76 * 0 R D E R OF PROCESSION and P UBL I C WO R SH I P to be obferved in the DEDICATION OF FRANKLIN COLLEGE, in the Borough and County of LANCASTER.

And like that music jingling Within the teacher's ears, A flood of thoughts came o'er me That filled my eyes with tears. How often, 0 bow often, In those hours of pains and joys, I had sat in that room near midday, And gazed on our Prof. and boys.

But now those trials are over, They are butiecl in the sea; And only the stories of others Throw their shadows over me.

ON PROFESSORS 1 TO THE PTUbENTS. ANY discussions concerning the proper way in which young men at Colleges M should be controlled by tile governors of such institutions, have ofttimes ap peared. Of late years, however. a new phase of College life has developed, and it is as a view of this new state of tllings that tbis article has been written. This new development consists in the ,lice ,I('rsa position now occupied by professor and student in reference to the control of their Colleges. Since this change of affairs has been called new, it follows that the writer could not have had any personal ex perience in the matter. For that reason may all slight inaccuracies of judgment be laid to the change of the circl1lnstances. The development was gradual. First the student was granted small liberties, such as whether he attend chapel and lectw-es, a1ld other seemingly insignificallt things; then he was adlnitted to a share in the government of his College, till now his supremacy is admitted by professors everywhere, except in a few Colleges that are, as yet, far behind the times. Of course, the present student, to whom this is addressed, will have some special difficulties to overcome, in Ulat he will have no precedent to fall back upon. He will. therefore, have to guide his actions as he may think best, with the help of the few suggestions which I may be able to make. N ow, as to the time when you should begill the discipline uecessary for the training of a model professor; let it be as early in your course as possible. It will do no harm to COlllmence even at your first recitation in College. You cannot be expected to do much in this line during your preparatory course hecause you will 110t yet have formed an ideal of the character to which you wish to train ;your instructor. Here is a suggest.ion. Fix your milld upon a high ideal, the higher, the better. Yon will find 110 trouble in fixing it higher than your own ability, but jf you ever succeed ill raisillg your professor to the point to which you thillk that extends, you may con sider your work well done. Let your model professor be abundantly endowed with that quality especially ascribed to the leader of the Israelites froni the Land of Bondage; let him be silen t ON PROFESSORS, TO THE STUDENTS. as a steam whistle without steam; gentle as a lamb; obedient as one who obeyeth commands; but above al1, let him be a man,-after your OWIl mind. The means for the accomplishment of the above ends, must of necessity be left mainly to yourself, but a few may be cited. Former classes may have done some thing towards the eud to which you are "Working, but do 1Iot, on tl1at account, since YOll can improve 011 anything in this world, hesitate to take up the work, great though it may be ill exceptional cases. ASSllme YOllr authority at the outset, and let the professor perceive that you are con scious of its possession. If the profcssor ever thinks that he has authority iu settling any question, be may grow entirely too conceited, and the dangers to your umlertak ing from this cause would be immense. It may be well, however, to graut him the settlement of very uuimportant points; as, for instance, whether the class shall leave the recitatioll room at the firRt or last tap of the bell. You must be careful, though, not to be too stern in your requirements, as by so doing you might drive a professor to despair, and a professor at hay would be a tough customer to dcal with; or by your ill-applied severity you might force him to the Opera House, champal,YJ1e bottle, or even worse antidotes to yonr company. Do not fail to develope the charadeI' of the professor, whom you have under care, equally on all sides, for that has always been considered most necessary; so that, if, by some misfortnne of your own, yon should cause the professor to exercise his "facultas deridendi," you may not fail to give him an opportunity" iratus esse." If you persist in this, it will do hil11 good, and he will remember you for it mallY years thereafter. Should yon have occasion to act unitedly, as desiring reli.:f from certain duties or regulations, it would be well to go through the for1l1 of scnding a petition to the faculty. It ministers to their self-esteem, and will do you no harm; for. if they should intimate any disagreement with your wishes, you, having the po·wer, can uot withstanding accomplish your desires. Of the customs used for controlling students before the present time of elllightell1l1cnt, only a few can you make operative in the care of a professor. In extreme cases, howeyer, it may be advisable to use on the person of the professor that cruel custom of ancien t pedagogues, of sending a studeut out of a warm room into the bitter cold. After you hall relegated the professor, both he and you would be more comfortable, and moreover your old jokes would then have a chance of being laughed at. Of course, you Illust be careful of the health of your charges. Do not force tllem to sit in cold rOOI11S or draughts, but if you do, at least allow them to wear wigs or keep their" polos" 011. 'l'hink of the ravages made in your own ranks by overwork, K ON PROFESSORS, TO THE STUDENTS. -especially mental, and don't drive them too hard. Do now yourself what your fatbers once wishert their professors to do,-" put yourself in their place." N ever fail to acquaint the professor with your wishes, as he may have been laboring to please you without any definite end to which to direct his efforts. This course will sa,'e him much labor in trying to divine your wishes. Want of space forbids further details, but at least remember tbat a fearful resposi bility rests upon you, and that future generations of students will be influenced by the quality of professors which you create. 86 THE OTHER pIbE OF tI LEtIF I f?~OF! ' S ~uASS Boo1\. l ORDER OF PROCE DURE F OR MA R CH 28, 1887. To-day I'll get off more jokes than usual, so I'll select Nos. 2, 4, 5, 9 and 23 . I find they are a real benefit to students. For the Seniors Nos. 5 and 2l. NO.5 does not suit very well, but I'll ~lake it fit for the second hom recitation. NO.9 I must repeat for the Junior class, or they will think there is no wit in me. Ditto NO.2. The Sophs need to be brought ont a littie, so I'll give them that witty one, No. 4- it's old but they will enjoy it. Oh yes, and to-day I lllUSt introduce a new one. It's No. 24, I think. I'll try it on the Freshmen, and if it takes well, I will try it on some of the h igher classes. EVE NING R E CORD. I succeeded O. K. with NO.5. NO.9. N. G. The Sophs are brighter than I thought they were. Well, NO . 4 stands use and age better than any joke I ever handled. The Freshmen did not see the force of new one-at least they did not applaud. I will have to test it next time 011 the Sophs. 'Vhen I gave the Seniors No. 23, they groaned. Well, not much wonder, that one their fathers heard and I think I had better-no. I'll only lay it by for a few years. NO.2 was noticed by only one student aud he ahellled. I mllst strike No. 2 off it's too old. My goodness, I wish Profs. were not expected to get off jokes. NOTE.-About the close of the v.~nter term, nearly eighteen years ago, a certain member of the Senior class, sitting in his lonely r00111, far out East Kiug street, (near the --jail), was made the subject of a practical joke, as hereafter described. A cigar box, neatly wrapped in paper and properly addressed, was dropped at the door of the poor unsuspecting Senior, whose visions of good things, aroused by the sight of the package, were very unceremoniously dashed hy a brief inspection of the con tents. After making a thorough but fruitless examination of every scrap of paper for some clue to the !lames of the perpetrators, it chanced that the box, being held toward the light in an oblique position, displayed three letters, E. H. L., very lightly traced on the side, as it were with the point of a pin. A brief reference to the College catalogue for 1868-9 located the initials as belonging to an inmate of what was then known as "The Youngman House," situated at that time on \Vest Chestnut street near Queen. Here some five or six good, jolly fellows boarded-we are even tempted to give their names, hut refrain. On the receipt of the box, the following ballad was at once written. and a neat copy having been made before midnight, was canied early the next morning by the writer to the Youngmall House where the boys being summoned to the reading of it, received it with shouts and laughter and such appreciative demonstration as came nigh demolishing the room and its furniture. The doggerel may be interesting to a later generation of students. 88 DEI-{ @HI-{ISTIlMAS Box UND QATIl QAS IN ITIl. AN OLD E NGL ISH BALLAD, IN THE DIALECT OF BERKS. By HEINRICH VON SIEBEN ZIG.

I7 t 1869· tI LETTER. * FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE, LA~CAS'I'ER, FA., Nov. -, '86. 111")' Dearest Jane: When I received your most weicollle letter, my heart flopped up and down like an old churn-dasher; sensations of exquisite joy crept over it like goats over a stable roof, anu thrilled through it like Spanish needles thrOllgh a pair of linen breeches. Visions of ecstatic rapture visit me iulUy slulUbers and borne 011 their invisible wings your image stands before me and I reach out to embrace it like a pointer snapping at a blue-bottle fly. When frrst I beheld your angelic perfection, I was amazed, my brain whirled round and I reeled as a drunken man. Like the cellar doors of a country store my eyes stood open and I lifted up Ill)" urowsy ears to catch the silvery accents of your voice. My tongue refused to wag and in silent adoration I drallk in the sweet infections of love as a thirsty man swallows a glass of cool water. Since the light of yonr beaming countenance has fallen upon me, I feel as if I could lift myself up by my shoe strings to the top of the College tower aud ring the bell for chapel. When Aurora, blushing like a fair maiden, rises fr01l1 Irer saffron colored couch ; when the chanticleer's shrill whistle heralds the coming morn; when the robin pipes his tuneful lay in the apple-tree by the spring-house; when the waking pig ariseth from his bed and grnnteth and goeUl forth for his mOl"uing reft-esliments; when the drowsy beetle whirls his dreamy flight at sultry noontide; and when the lowing herd comes home at milk time, I think of thee. Day and night you are in my thoughts. and m y heart, yearning for your presence, seems to strclch clear across my bosom. Your hair is like the mane of a sorrel horse powdered with sand, and your lips, oozing with the freshness of the morning, fill me with unbounded awe. Your fore head is as smooth as the elbow of my olel coat. your eyes are glorious to behold. In their liquid depths I see myriads of little Cupids bathing like a legion of little ants in an army cracker. *PubHshed from a F("(: shman's diary for the benefit of his class-mates and all interested friends. L 93 I A LETTER. When these darts first struck me on my manly breast, they penetrated my whole anatomy, as a load of bird-shot through an old hat. Your mouth is puckered with sweetness; nectar lingers 011 your lips like honey on a bee's paw; thousands of unfledged kisses are there, and like hlue birds in their parent's nest, are waiting to fly out and light somewhere. Your laugh rings in my ears like the wind-harp's strain or the bleat of a stray lamb on a bleak hillside. Like bowers or beds of roses or hollows in cakes of home made sugar, so are the dimples of your cheeks. I am dying to fly to your presence and pour out the burning eloquence of my love as a thrifty house-wife pours out hot coffee. Away from you I am melancholy as a sick rat. Sometimes I can hear the junebugs of despondency buzzing ill my ears, and feel the cold lizards of despair crawling down my back. My love for you is as strong as the smell of Sweitzer citeese, or the kick of a mule, and more selfish than a kitten's first caterwaul. As a bird hankers for the dawn of day; as a mean pup hankers for new milk; so I long for thee. You are fairer than a speckled pullet; sweeter than a Yankee doughnut fried in sorghnm molasses; brighter than the topmost plume of a Muscovy duck. You are candy, kisses, raisins, pound cakes and sweetness altogether. Jf these few remarks will enable you to see the inside of my heart, and me to win your affections, I shall be as happy as a wood-pecker on a cherry tree or a stage horse in green pastnre. If yon cannot reciprocate my thrilling passion, I will pine away like 'a poisoned bedbug, and fall away from the flowering vine of life an untimely branch; and in coming years when the shadows grow from the western hills, and the philosophical frog sings his cheerful evening hyml1, you, happy in another's love can come and drop a tear and cast a clod upon the resting place of Yours most affectionately, ---, '90· 94 THE }3TANbARb JORE t!LPHABET.
