The Fate of the Oyster Boat
The sun was just hiding itself behind a clump of bushes on the
opposite hill and lights were already beginning to shine in sey-
eral of the villagers’ homes. The fisherman with whom I had
been conversing had long since gone up the village street to his
dwelling with his basket of fish on his bent shoulder, but still I
sat upon the old wharf. The tide, which had been coming in
all the afternoon, had begun its return journey, and I could hear
the swish of the current as it whirled and eddied down among the
48 THE Ecxuo
moss-grown piles of the old structure. A splash and then a
ripple; a fish had sprung out of the water, only to fall back
again and resume its course against the tide. On the opposite
shore a flock of gulls had settled on the rocks for the night, while
there came floating over the water, from somewhere in the crim-
son background, “Co Boss, Co Boss,” and then followed the
lowing of the cattle, welcoming their deliverer, for they were
going to be driven home for the night. Soon I saw a man slowly
wandering down the crooked lane which led to the wharf. As
he drew nearer I recognized my old friend, the fisherman, who
from his mutterings was evidently displeased at something. He
looked up and saw me.
“B’ain’t yeou hungry yit?” he queried.
“Well, I was just beginning to think of supper; but sit down.
Out for an evening stroll?” I asked.
“Yep,” he said, rather dryly. “Th’ old woman, that’s my
Mary, got arter me fer spillin’ a pitcher uv milk, so kinder thought
T’d get out ’nd give her a chance to cool off.”
He sat down on the edge of the old wharf in a meditative man-
ner and pulled out of his coat pocket a much-begrimed old pipe.
Then he fumbled in his trousers’ pocket for a knife; the one he
used in cutting up his bait. He dug away at his pocket as if un-
able to get at the bottom.
“Funny,” he grumbled, thoughtfully. “ Waal, waal,” he said,
“T mind now, th’ old woman borrered it to pare the pertaters ’nd
kep it. ’Y ain’t got a knife, hev yeou?”
I gave him mine, which he received with great satisfaction.
Again his hand went into a pocket and this time drew out a
large piece of tobacco. Slowly he cut off little bits, remarking:
“ Plug terbaccy is allus the best fer a powful good smoke.”
He cut away at the plug until he decided that he had a pipeful.
This he rolled and rubbed carefully between his great calloused
hands until he had reduced it to a fine powder. Having gone
through this operation to his satisfaction, he stuffed the tobacco
into the bowl and put the stem between his teeth. Now began
LitERARY DEPARTMENT 49
another search that inspected minutely the contents of every
pocket. What a collection of articles he hauled forth, only to
put them back again, as he looked in vain for the desired article.
Finally he gave up the search, and looked at me, his eyes full of
anxiety. He rubbed his finger with a quick stroke across his
pant-leg. I suddenly understood and tossed him some matches.
After a few wheezy puffs, he lighted his pipe. Then at last he
appeared to be contentment itself.
“Wonder whar th’ eyster but (oyster boat) is?” he casually
remarked, between puffs, as he leaned forward and squinted out
towards a stake and then up and down the river.
“Waal that Jonas Williams mought as well own th’ but.” It
was the voice of a fellow-fisherman. We looked in the direction
from which the voice came and saw a man leaning against a post
with his back towards us.
“Thet yeou, Lyman Forrester?” my companior asked.
“Who'd yeou ’spose ’t was?” was the reply.
My friend winked at me, cautioning me not to be surprised at
what followed. P
“Whar’s the but tie up tew-night, at the wharf or out at the
stake, Lyman?”
“Naow, Silas, ye’re tew all-fired smart fer yer boots. In the
fust place, it’s none uv yer bizzness, ’nd in the secon’ place, yeou
know as well as I dew whar thet Jonas Williams ties her up.”
“ Gee, but yer touchy. Who be yeou, anyhow?” asked Silas,
laughing.
This was too much for the new comer and he turned angrily
about and strode off, vowing, “ I’ll dew it shure’s my name is Ly-
man Forrester! Yes, sirree! I’m a-goin’ tew dew it!”
Silas immediately attracted all my attention. There he was as
before, dangling his legs over the edge of the wharf, but roaring
with a guffaw that stirred up every gull and fish-hawk within the
radius of a quarter of a mile.
“W’an't that great?” he cried again and again, as he slapped
his hands together.

“Veou see, it’s this yere way. Lyman Forrester and Jonas
Williams they’ve got’n eyster but on shars. Lyman sez its gotter
be hitched tew the wharf, ’nd Jonas sez it ain’t a-goin’ tew, becuz
he’s a-goin t’ hitch it tew thet stake out thyar. Thars the but,”
he said, pointing up the river, and his laughter began anew.
In the darkness which was beginning to obscure everything ex-
cept the light in my friend’s pipe, we could see a large rowboat
slowly approaching, in the stern of which a man was standing
laboring with an oar. As he worked it from side to side, the
movement was accompanied by a low creaking sound, while his
body, swaying back and forth, took on something of a phantom-
like appearance. From the bow projected a large number of oys-
ter rakes. The boatman finally ceased his' work, dropping his oar
with a bang and clatter into the bottom of the boat, and as he
drifted along he grabbed the stake opposite to us. After making
the boat fast he began to untie a smaller boat, in which he in-
tended to go ashore.
Silas, again bent on mischief, shouted:
“ Hyar, thyar, Jonas Williams, Lyman sez fer yeou tew tie up
at the wharf tew-night.”
“Waal, yeou jes’ tol Lyman now tew hol’ his breath till I
dew,” came drawling back over the water. “Ef Lyman For—
Ding it!” The drawl stopped suddenly. I looked across the
water at Jonas and saw him forming a suspension bridge from the
stake to the bow of the little boat. Unmindful of the position he
assumed while talking to Silas, Jonas had got into a difficulty.
The boat in which he was standing had gradually drifted with the
tide away from the stake, while he still clung to the post with his
hands. Jonas hung in this manner for a moment, all the time be-
seeching Silas to come to his assistance. But Silas was just then
incapable of a rescue, for when he realized his friend’s predica-
ment, he was seized with one of his fits of laughter and rolled over
and over on the wharf. At this Jonas became provoked and be-
gan to swear at Silas. Suddenly there was a snap.
“ Geewhil—” Jonas did not have time to finish; there was a
—— egress ~
Literary DEPARTMENT 5r
splash and a gurgle. The slender stake, unable to sustain Jonas,
had broken and dropped him into the river, but he soon came
spluttering to the surface and struck out for the boat, which he
reached without great difficulty. He clambered in, while Silas,
having recovered his equilibrium, taunted him with:
“ Ef only Lyman could a seen yeou. Better tie up at the wharf
arter this, Jonas. An’ say, y’aint wet, be yeou?”’
“Naw. It’s dry daown whar I been.”
No further taunt on Silas’ part could bring another word from
the disconsolate Jonas, as he paddled to the shore in his small
boat. He soon reached it and jumped out, pulling his boat up the:
beach behind him. Then, throwing a coat over his wet shoulders,
Jonas trudged off.
Quiet reigned once more on the old river, but my companion
was bubbling over with laughter.
“Ef only Lyman could a seen Jonas! Won't thar be a time
when I tell the boys about it,” and Silas chuckled at the stir his
story would make on the morrow. “ Yeou niver heerd *baout th’
eyster but, did yeou?” I shook my head negatively.
He grunted, took his pipe out of his mouth, and having emptied
its contents by hitting the bowl against the palm of his hand, be-
gan, “ Waal, I’ll tell yeou.”
His story was as follows:
Lyman Forrester and Jonas Williams were the best of friends,
and when they heard that a man down the river had an oyster
boat for sale, cheap, they decided to buy it on half shares and go
into the business of raising oysters. “For,” said the prudent
Jonas, “ Ef we git tired of the but, we kin chop her up and sell
the wood fer ‘bout what we paid fer her.” They bought the boat,
but the day of the bargain was the beginning of a continued wran-
gle between the two men. When they neared home with their
purchase, the question arose as to where they were to keep her.
Jonas Williams, who was a careful, painstaking man, proposed
that the boat be fastened to a stake out in the river. Lyman For-
rester, who was an easy-going individual, said that the boat should
52 Tue Ecuo
be tied to the wharf. They argued the matter; but, both being
stubborn, neither gave in. Jonas contended that the boat, if
tied to the wharf, would rub and chafe all the paint off, and so
the stake was the only place for it. Lyman said he didn’t care
about the paint and “ wasn’t going to bother ” with a little boat
every time he went out with the oyster boat; besides, he argued,
it was rather ticklish business getting from one boat into another
out in the middle of the river. Jonas laughed at this statement
and said, “ No danger at all; I’ve done it many a time and never
yet tumbled in.” Whenever Lyman used the boat, he tied her to
the wharf, while Jonas in turn always fastened her to the stake.
Finally affairs came to such a crisis that they refused to speak to
one another, and this is how matters stood on this evening.
“But Lyman sez he'll fix the ole but sometime so’s nobody
can’t find no fault,” said Silas, in conclusion.
He jumped up with a start, saying: ‘‘ Gee whittaker, m’ Mary
jest put th’ light aout, ’nd I’ve been daown here forever so long.
Lor’ but there’ll be a time naow.”
He was evidently fearful of his wife’s displeasure, having in-
curred it once that evening, for he started off abruptly without an-
other word. I followed after him, for the demands of the inner
man were becoming imperative.
The next morning, as I walked down to the post-office, I met
Silas, who seemed to be in a great hurry.
“Jest ther pusson I’ve been a-lookin’ fer,” he cried. “Come
daown to the river.”” He took me by the arm, as if he intended
that I should go whether I would or not. He refused to tell me
what he wanted, but insisted that I go. We soon reached the
wharf, where we found a large assemblage of curious villagers,
who were evidently amused at something.
“Look a here, and look a thar,” Silas said, pointing with his
finger to the places designated.
I looked, and to my surprise found that the oyster boat of the
evening before had met with a mishap, for it was in two parts;
one tied to the wharf, and the other to the stake out in the river.
Literary DEPARTMENT 53
Silas, having pointed out the havoc which the night had seemingly
wrought with the old boat, beckoned to me to walk back to the
end of the wharf, and here he explained matters in a mysterious
undertone.
“Last night, arter I left yeou, I went home and went tew bed,
but I cudn’t sleep no-haow. So I sez, ‘Silas, ’sposin’ we take
our pipe and walk daown to the river ’nd see ef any uv the ship-
pin’ has bruk loose?’” He winked, grinning at his joke on the
commerce of the village, for the only vessels it could boast of were
a small fleet of row-boats and a dilapidated old hulk, which in its
day was a small fishing smack. ‘‘ When we gets purty nigh hyar,
whar we be naow, I sez, ‘everythin’ looks first-rate, but hist!
What’s thet?’ I knew distinctly that I cud hear a saw goin’ fer
all it wuz wurth. I got behin’ a post and looked daown onto the
beach, and what on airth dew yeou ’spose I saw thar in the moon-
light? Waal, thar wuz Lyman Forrester, sawin’ the ole but in
tew. I kep’ quiet ‘nd waited. Lor’! haow Lyman wud cuss
when that ere saw wud strike a nail!”
Silas came near being seized with another storm of laughter,
but, full of his subject, he managed to calm himself.
“ Purty soon I heerd a crack ’nd then I saw th’ ole but tumble
t’ pieces. Lyman, he began t’ laff, but not very laoud, cuz he
didn’t want nobody tew hear him, but mind yeou I was a-watchin’
all the time. Byme-by, when Lyman cud stop laffin’ ’nd gruntin’
he tulx th’ little but that Jonas tumbled aout uv las’ night, ’nd
towed one part, upside daown, aout thyar tew what wuz left uv
th’ stake, whar he tied it, ’nd I heerd him sayin’, laffin’ like all the
time: ‘Thar, Jonas Williams, ye’re ole but is tied t’ th’ stake ’nd
the paint ain’t a-goin’ tew get knocked off’n her!’ And then
didn’t he laff! Waal, he came to shore ’nd began to git a-ready
t’ pull his part over hyar. Then I skipped fer hum, cuz I knew
he’d be madder’n a hatter ef he saw me, ’nd yeou air th’ fust pus-
son [’ve tol’ baout it yit. Waudn’t I like tew see Jonas Williams
this mornin’ !”
“ Tarnation! ”
54 Tue Ecuo
It was said in the deep bass drawl of Jonas Williams’ voice.
We turned and saw him, with a bundle of oyster rakes on his
shoulder. These he had spent the evening repairing for the day’s
use. He was gazing in open-mouthed wonder at the wreck of the
oyster boat.
“ Goin’ aout in th’ but tew day?” asked Silas, with a tantalizing
grin.
IsABELLA BIGELMAN.
Sketch of a Millionaire
He suddenly awoke to the fact that he was growing old. This
was manifest in more ways than he could at first recount. It was
not only that the small remnant of his once luxuriant hair had be-
come snow-white, and that heavy, ineffaceable wrinkles every-
where furrowed his care-worn face; it was much deeper than this.
A person may look old and live a comparatively long time after.
It was the fact that while still in apparently perfect health his
hands trembled from no apparent cause, and that he tired so
quickly after only slight exertions. He could not walk far with-
out a desperate feeling of faintness, which rest did not wholly
overcome. His step, too, was somewhat tottering.
But, worse than all, his mind was becoming old. He no longer
seemed to enjoy anything. His automobiles, of the finest make,
were only instruments to get him somewhere, anywhere. It was
all the same to him whether he was speeding over the lonely coun-
try road, along the picturesque driveway, or through the crowded
mart, nowhere could he find any real pleasure.
The theater once afforded him unbounded delight, now he won-
dered how it could have even interested him, it was such an
empty bauble, such a mere mockery of real life. He was dis-
gusted with himself that he had not tired of it long before he did;
but after all what was there that he had not grown weary of?
Surely there ought to be something yet that he could enjoy a lit-
Oy ee a S| Cee RR Oa OTIC ee atte Se MAD Sc thai, 1 ab tials ol DT MIP La pa ere te ne eT ALL Gy ee Fag oy peti! aeeaesnts
Literary DEPARTMENT 55
tle, but there was absolutely nothing that he cared for. Even his
lordly mansion, the grandest for miles about, was only a place
in which to rest; for even short periods of exertion tired him
now, and he never seemed wholly refreshed.
He had begun early and toiled late in order to accumulate a
vast fortune, but of what use was it all now that he had it? All
of it and much more besides could not buy back for him even one
day of youth. True, he had become a tremendous power in the
financial world, and thousands of men stood ready to do his bid-
ding, but what if they did, all of them together could not stay the
sands of his life for even one hour.
The world’s masterpieces of art were all about him, he had
the softest and most elegant of reclining chairs, and velvet carpets
gave back no sound to his footsteps. He had all that heart could
wish so far as money could buy, but he had no happiness. Yes,
he was growing old, and he realized that the end was very near.

College Spirit
“ Have College Spirit” has been the rallying cry for all kinds
of college organizations. THe Eco adopts it and raises its
voice. “ Have College Spirit,” subscribe for your college paper,
and write for THe Ecno. That a college student publication ex-
ists is regarded by many students as a matter of course. They
are proud of its success; they would be embarrassed at its failure.
But how far beyond mere pride does loyalty extend? Pride, un-
less well backed by willing endeavor and exertion to preserve,
and, if possible, advance the standards already attained, is of lit-
tle value. Let every student show “College Spirit” by doing
something for the college of which he is a part. Make a grand
endeavor and at least try to do something for Tur Ecuo. You
can show “College Spirit” in no better way than in advancing
the content and standards of your college monthly.

Obituary
On Saturday, September 25th, occurred the death of William
Bayard Van Rensselaer, one of the trustees of the State Normal
College. Mr. Van Rensselaer was born at Albany, N. Y., 1856.
In 1879 he obtained the A. B. degree from Harvard College, and
the following year studied law at the Harvard Law School. Since
that time Mr. Van Rensselaer has been an active lawyer and
banker of Albany. That Mr. Van Rensselaer was highly hon-

The Delta Omega Reception
On Saturday afternoon, September 25th, the Delta Omega
Society began the Sorority social gatherings of the college, by giv-
ing a reception to the faculty and students. The guests were re-
ceived by the Misses Bennett, Fraser, Hurst and Van Derzee.
Gold and white, the colors of the society, were found in the
daisies which were everywhere in evidence, and which were given
to the guests as favors. The music, which added greatly to the
pleasure of the afternoon, was furnished by a stringed orchestra.
Dainty refreshments were served by the girls of the society from
prettily decorated tables in the reception room. The new college
buildings furnish an ideal place for holding social festivities, and
the members of Delta Omega are to be congratulated upon the
pleasing manner in which they entertained their guests.
Announcement
Tue Ecuo is indebted to Dr. Husted for the following item:
The Soldiers’ Memorial Tablet committee are pleased to an-
nounce that arrangements have now been completed for the erec-
tion of a new tablet to replace that which was destroyed by the
burning of our Willett street building. It will not be a “ replica,”
but it will be substantially a duplicate of the former tablet, and
will be placed on the east wall of the main college entrance hall.
It will be “ unveiled ” at the Alumni Reunion, June, 1910.

Miss Belding’s Recital
On Saturday, October 23d, Miss Elizabeth Belding entertained
a number of her friends with a delightful musical program at her
studio, at 85 North Allen street. Miss Belding, who during the
past two years pursued a musical course at the Boston Conserva-
tory of Music, rendered with rare artistic ability piano numbers
from Wieniawsky, Paderewski, Rochmaninoff, Grieg and Ruben-
stein. The pleasure of the recital was greatly enhanced by the
vocal solos of Mrs. G. D. Winne.
A Freshman’s Letter to His High School Chum
Dear Tom:
I can’t tell you how glad I was to receive your letter and to
hear so much about things at home. Of course there has been
lots going on here and everything is fine, but to be perfectly hon-
est, old man, I’m just a little homesick. You can’t appreciate the
feeling if you’ve never had it, and as you will not mistake it for
anything else when you do get it, I shall not try to explain it.
Tom, do you remember that dirty little yellow dog that used to
chase us every time we went down to the river, until we got so
angry that we swore to shoot him? Well, Tom, if I could even
have that ugly pup to pet for five minutes I’d be the happiest fel-
low in Albany. I’m that anxious to see anything or anybody con-
nected with home.
Enough along this line, however, as I have much to tell you
about college, and besides I don’t want you to think that I am
moping around like a girl, ready to burst into a flood of tears if I
hear somebody next door playing ‘‘ Home Sweet Home.”
You know our buildings here are all new, and they certainly
are fine. Still it is not the buildings connected with the institu-
tion, but the number of girls, that astonish me most. Why, Tom,
I see more girls here in a day than I ever saw before in a month.
There are tall girls and short girls, dark girls and light girls—I
mean in complexion, pretty girls and—well, all sorts of nice girls.
AxBouTt COLLEGE 67
It gave me sort of an uneasy feeling at first to be where there were
so many fair maidens, but I am gradually getting over it. Still it
takes a lot of nerve to be the only fellow in a class with 20 or 25
girls, all ready to giggle if you happen to make a mistake. Any
fellow that can go through a quiz under these conditions and keep
a level head is fitted for hunting lions with Roosevelt in Africa.
The first week I was here I happened to be going out of the
main entrance one day at noon, and as I heard some girls coming
back of me I stepped aside and held the door open for them to
pass, but before they were gone another group appeared, and as I
wanted to be polite to everyone, I held the door open for them,
too. Well, Tom, they kept coming, and each group kept smiling
a little more broadly at me, and I kept holding the door and get-
ting redder and more embarrassed every minute. At last, after
about 100 girls had passed, there came a group of girls followed
by one of the Sophomore fellows, who stopped and, in the presence
of some of his female classmates, delivered to me what he called
“an appreciative criticism’ on my noble conduct, and said that I
might continue to use the front entrance (which is contrary to the
Sophomore rules for Freshmen) if I repeated this special per-
formance for five minutes every day. By this time I was so
fussed and angry that I just bolted through the crowd and down
the steps, followed by shouts of advice and laughter. Since then
I have found it much more convenient to use the side entrance, as
it is a shorter cut to the room where our lockers are placed.
Truly, the way of the Freshman is hard, and all things seem
to work together to show him how little he does amount to, after
all. When we were graduated last June, I thought I knew quite
a lot, but during the past few weeks I have changed my mind. I
am free to confess, old man, that I don’t know anything. My es-
timate of my ability, judged by what I am expected to know, has
been sliding down the scale every day, until at present I think I
might possibly pass an examination for entrance into a kinder-
garten.
When I started this letter I intended to tell you something about
68 Tue Eco
the great time we had during the Hudson-Fulton celebration here,
but I’m afraid the letter would be overweight and I can’t afford
more than two cents for postage until I receive a letter from
home.
Give my regards to all the fellows and tell them I am having
the biggest time of my life (which will be true in more ways than
one).
Your Old Chum,
Now A. FRESHMAN.
An Athletic Association at Last
All the college men assembled in Room 100 on October 15th
and unanimously voted to form an athletic association. The elec-
tion of officers followed, and the following men were chosen:
President, Mr. Van Denbergh.
Vice-President, Mr. McCormack.
Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Rice.
With such a well-equipped gymnasium as we now possess, the
organization ought to accomplish something worthy of mention,
and we are now anticipating the early formation of a good basket-
ball team.
The Eta Phi Reception
According to all reports the Eta Phi reception held Saturday,
October 16th, was one of the great successes of the season.
It was rainy, but those who braved the. inclemency of the
weather felt more than repaid for going. On entering the large
reception room in the basement, one felt suddenly transported to
Japan. Dainty maidens in Japanese kimonas were fluttering
here, there and everywhere, talking, not Japanese, but the gayest
of S. N. C. chatter, softened by the strains of music coming from
the rear of the room. Cherry trees in full bloom and the pink and
white screens of cherry blossoms, arranged all around the cozy
room, added to the illusion, while the tea table, with its frail Ori-
ental china and spicy refreshments, gave the final touch.
AxsouT COLLEGE 69
Organ Recital
On the afternoon of October 30th, the faculty and students of
the college assembled at the First Reformed Church with keen
anticipation of the musical treat which was in store for them.
Prof. S. B. Belding delightfully entertained them with some of
the choicest selections from the great composers. These were
rendered in a style which was at once artistic and most pleasing.
It is a rare pleasure that Prof. Belding gives us twice each year
to hear the masterpieces of musical composition, and the audience
which assembled testified to their appreciation of Prof. Belding’s
kindness. The following is the program:

Autumn Leaves from a Freshman’s Diary
“ How much water has flowed beneath the bridges since we two
met,” dear diary. I have lost all track of the days, but I think it
must be about November, for the leaves are falling and everyone
is. getting a new hat—(mine is a three-cornered green one)—
Fraulein (the girls in German class taught me to say that). Yes,
I feel as though I had been hundreds of years, I was going to say
thousands, but I guess that would be what you call hyperbole, and
when I get time to look at myself in the glass I’m all puzzled and
wonder if I’m the same girl that a year ago was dancing through
70 THe Ecxo
the autumn leaves, happy just to be alive and hear the wind roar-
ing through the chestnut trees and feel it blowing the drizzly rain
into my face. You see, then I never knew there was such a big
world waiting for me, with so many, many things to be learned.
Now to get my thought words straightened. I’ve done a great
many important things this month, which are—1. I subscribed
for THE Ecuo. A Senior that talked just like the book agent
that came to our house last summer told me all its advantages,
until I just gasped and said I didn’t see how I could get along
without it. 2. I went to two Freshman class meetings. Our
class is the nicest Freshman class ever organized here, we all
think, and we have six men. 3 I got measured for the gym and
I’m half an inch taller than my roommate. A Junior told me not
to exult, though, because she’d heard of small people like her
growing lots after they were Freshmen. 4. We enjoyed the
Hudson-Fulton celebration. Peggy (that’s my roommate) and I
determined to see everything, so we attached ourselves to a bunch
of Seniors and neither ate, slept or breathed much for three days.
The first morning we went down to see the human flag on the
Capitol steps. “2,000 young Americans joined together to form
Old Glory,” the Seniors said, but as I saw that great living ban-
ner waving there in the sunlight, I kept thinking of the song
Rebecca, of Sunny Brook Farm wrote, “It’s your star, it’s my
star, and all the stars together, that makes our country’s flag so
proud to float in the bright fall weather.” I liked it, too, when
they sang “I Wish I Had a Girl,” after they had finished the na-~
tional hymns, but that is the Freshman of it, so they say.
After we had seen the flag from all view-points, we went down
to see the moving pictures of the military parade in New York.
It was pretty good, but I liked Albany parades just as well.
In the afternoon we went down to the river to see the aquatic
sports and the auto parade. They didn’t amount to much, the
Seniors said, but I thought we had sport enough running from
Broadway to the river trying to see both parades at once, and, be-
sides, I almost fell off my plank into the river watching a long
AxsouT COLLEGE ae
slim boat shooting around on the water, like a hurricane, making
a noise as though it had six or seven autos inside of it.
That night there was a fraternal parade, which consisted of a
lot of dressed-up people riding around on fancy wagons. I think
there were some men with lanterns, too, but I was too tired to see
it very well, and my roommate laughed at me because I was
afraid of the Indians. I woke up, though, when we climbed up
the Capitol steps to look at the City Hall and the decorations. It
was wonderful, just like fairy land, with the lights, orange, blue
and white, flashing at us one moment and gone the next, the gay
banners all fluttering in the night breeze, and the happy, care-free
crowds surging through the streets. The next day was a book
packed full of history, history made up of brilliantly colored pic-
tures of ships, of sailors dressed in bright hues, with orange ban-
ners drooping toward the shining water—just as it was in the
chart that stood in the corner of the little old district schoolhouse.
There were pictures, too, of colonial days, of a weather-beaten
steamboat with a great wooden wheel churning on one side. Then
there was the picture of war, of the soldiers in camp, the Boys in
Blue on duty. I never would dare tell the girls that I felt all this,
but I did, and you must never tell, dear diary.
That night we each took a newspaper and went to see the fire-
works in Beaver Park. We two Freshmen were lost in open-
mouthed wonder, but the Seniors squelched us, and said the news-
paper bonfires at the end were the best part of the whole perform-
ance.
The next day we packed a lunch and went over to see Troy’s
celebration, and what a change! In Albany everybody was good-
natured and happy and patriotic, with a thrilling quietness that
made you know it was real. In Troy everyone was in a hurry,
boisterous, crowding, enthusiastic and noisy. They were a little
more original in their parades than we were, and the electric dis-
play, especially the Dutch mill and the Half Moon, were splendid
but I like quiet, sedate Albany better.
Sunday we were very tired, but at night we went down to the
42 THe Ecuo
hall to hear Dr. Van Dyke speak. My roommate almost went to
sleep, but I enjoyed that service more than any other part of the
celebration. After they sang that hymn of Kipling’s that I love
so well it was all a dream and I was part of it. I floated along on
the waves of poetry that now seemed to form the Hudson river,
now moved like a mighty army of inventors and discoverers, then
stopped and steadily fronted the stolid walls of the impossible, the
unattainable, and slowly receded as a host of serious forces that
utilized and preserved, the forerunner of a new age. Again I
saw the Half Moon, this time floating up the Hudson “like an
autumn leaf turned up at both ends,” and the picture was still be-
fore me as I went out into the open air again. Then I rubbed my
eyes hard and told myself over and over that I was a Freshman at
the State Normal College in Albany, and the dream was past, and
I remembered that I hadn’t got my algebra examples for the next
day. I’ve told you all this, dear diary, because you can’t laugh at
me if I am ridiculous, but truly, I have just begun to live and I
must tell some one how it feels. Tay-toi-bunne amie (that means
don’t tell).

Obituary
Davin H. Cocuran, Pu.D, LL.D.
President State Normal College, 1856-64.
Dr. Cochran was born at Springville, N. Y., July 28, 1828, and
died at his home in Brooklyn, October 6, 1909. He was gradu-
ated from Hamilton College in the class of 1850. For two years
he taught natural science at the Clinton Liberal Institute and for
one year was principal of Fredonia Academy. In September,
1854, he was appointed “ Professor of the Natural Sciences ” in
this institution, and on February 1, 1856, he was made its Presi-
dent. In September, 1864, he accepted the Presidency of the
Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, a position which he filled with
distinguished success until his retirement in 1899.
Dr. Cochran was President of the Y. M. C. A. of Brooklyn,
honorary member of the Brooklyn Institute of Science and Arts,
life member of the Brooklyn Historical Society, President of the
Vivisection Reform Association and Vice-President of the Amer-
ican Humane Association.
An accomplished scholar, a successful and inspiring teacher, an
able administrator, an ardent patriot, his influence will be perpetu-
ated in the lives of the thousands of young men and women whom
he trained and inspired to noble, useful living.
President Cochran’s last visit to Albany was in June, 1900,
when, at the unveiling of our Soldiers’ Memorial Tablet, he de-
livered the principal address—a glowing tribute to “our fallen
heroes,” whose names it bore.
Mrs. Harrier R. CocHran.
Mrs. Harriet R. Cochran, widow of Dr. David H. Cochran,
died at her home, No. 301 Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, on Mon-

GENERAL Amos S. KIMBALL
Brigadier-General Amos S$. Kimball, who saw forty years’ ser-
vice in the army and was retired at his own request in 1902, died
at his home in Washington, October 10, 1909. He was buried
with military honors in Arlington cemetery.

stead of taking up the profession for which he was trained, entered
the army in 1861 as first lieutenant in the 98th New York Volun-
teer Infantry. In 1866 he was transferred to the regular army as
captain. He served with General Sheridan in the Indian cam-
paign in 1868-9 and was field quartermaster with General Miles
in the Arizona campaign against Geronimo. In 1883 he was pro-
moted to the rank of major. He became colonel in 1898. In the
war with Spain he was in charge of the general depot of the quar-
termaster’s department in Washington.

The full course of study consists of two scholastic years. Any
student who has conformed to the requirements of the Regents as to
general education may enter the Junior class, and upon com-
pletion of the two year course, and passing the required examina-
tions, will be graduated with the degree of LL.B.
Students who must spend three years in preparation will find
this course very desirable since it gives an opportunity to spend one
year in clerkship, enabling them to obtain the benefit of office ex-
perience and practise, during the time allotted to preparation for
their final examination for admission to the bar.
