In the morning the folks went out to look for apartments, leaving Mabel and me alone. I had to amuse Mabel, for she is so very lonely. So I made paper dolls for her, and kept her amused till lunch time. they all came home about that time, bringing good news with them. They had at last got rooms. After dinner we went out to walk, and went into the D...s. They were having Vespers, and we stayed a little while to the service. I am afraid we are going to be disappointed in our lodgings. The entrance is not good. I don't know yet what we shall do. By tomorrow I think it will be decided. I finished a letter to Kathchen to-day. I am always delighted when I can write another name on the list of "Letters written", and still more when I can write one on the list of those received, but that is not often. Thursday. Dec. 1. We are again disappointed. We have had to give up our rooms. The woman was very disobliging, and would not give us the rooms unless we would pay her 30 francs more. We were also not to eat in the parlor, and could only have three beds. The folks are all out again in their weary search. Friday Dec. 2. Again it is the same. Mabel and I are at home and waiting for the folks to return to luncheon. Evening. Uncle T. Mother, Jennie, and I, went to the opera this evening. It was the Ballo in Maschera. It might have been stupid if it hadn't been for a pretty little page who spoilt her own part, and madeevery one laugh. She was a perfect little beauty. She had a beautiful voice. Saturday. Dec 3. This evening we went to see some private theatricals, got up by the Americans and English. They played "The Little Demon", and "Poor Pillicoddy." In the former, there was only one good actor, who acted the part of the little demon. He was a boy named Arthur Kelson. There was only one professional actor there, and the only paid one, for all the rest gave their services, as it was for the benefit of some Asylum. This actor, ... Wylie, was speaking (in the play) when a baby out in the audience, cried. That threw him entirely out of his part, & he had to stop! The other man, who was on the stage, said "Oh that's nothing, only a baby!" This other miserable fellow had to go aside-to laugh! When he came back, he could not remember his part! There's a good actor for you! In the farce, there was one gentleman, Mr Gould, who was a capital actor, and he was only an amateur. Even Father had to go off in fits of laughter. There are to be three more of these entertainments, & perhaps I shall go to another. Sunday Dec. 4. This morning, Jennie, Uncle Tooker, and I went into some of the churches. At noon, Uncle went away. We were so sorry to have him go. In the afternoon, we went around to a little house that we had looked at before, and took it. So that's settled. Monday Dec. 5. Today I stayed in the house, and read, and packed the trunks, that isto say, I packed Jennie's for her. This evening, we went around in a carriage to our new home, where we found our new servant, Theresa, waiting for us. Tuesday Dec 6. We stayed at home and unpacked. What a stupid journal this is! Only getting up, going to bed, eating, drinking, sleeping, reading, & walking! I suppose I shall not have any thing better to say if I go to school, for then it will be nothing but study! Still, although it looks stupid on paper, I am really having a nice time. We have such fun in this darling little house. I wish Uncle Tasker had seen it, so he could tell the folks at home about it. It is very cosy, only the sun won't come into the parlor, and so we sit in the dining room. I haven'tseen Miss Birch since she called on me that day, but no wonder. She goes to school in the morning, and stays till four. She has only one holiday in the week, and that is only half a day, on Wednesday. Saturday, she goes to school all the same! Just fancy it! I don't think I will go there. Wednesday Dec. 7. To-day we made a call. On the Cislas. Then we did a few errands, and spent the rest of the day at home. I wrote to Annie Copp. That's just the way it goes! Nothing interesting to tell about. What do people put in journals I must tell you about our landlord He is a Frenchman, and an old bachelor. His name is Hippolito Jean-veau. Jennie is setting her cap for him, or rather, he is setting his cap for her. He went out yesterday inthe garden, where Jennie & Mabel were walking, and met them - quite by accident, and of course, had to walk along by her side, and talk in the most winning voice, and the sweetest expression he could call up! In the place of his beautiful red handkerchief, he had the most splendid cravat on, and a gorgeous pin. He must have looked gay! I didn't have the pleasure of seeing him, for I very foolishly stayed in the house. I shall always walk in the garden after this. Well, Hippolito invited the girls into the conservatory, and the gardener picked off the only blossoms on the Heliotrope and presented it to Miss Jennie. She, of course, was very much obliged, and admired it exceedingly. That roused the jealousy of poor Hippolito. He looked around indespair, until at last, one blossom caught his eye; he hastened to pick it; applied it to his own nostril, remarked that it was not very sweet; and presented it with his own fair hand, to Miss Olds. She took it, admired it, and of course, thought it very sweet. Hippolito was consoled, and delighted. I shall keep my eye on Miss Olds. Thursday Dec.8. This morning we stayed at home, as usual. In the afternoon we went to the library, and each got a book. Jennie got "John Marshmont's Legacy," Mabel "The Black Princess," and I "Agatha's Husband," by Miss Mullock. It is very nice. I finished it last night. Friday Dec.9. Went to the other library at which we had a subscription. We got Machiavelli's "History of Florence," Vasari's "Lives of thePainters," "Geoffry Hamlyn," by Kingsley, and Holiday House for Mabel to read. Saturday. 10. This morning Father and Jennie went to the railway station to meet Mrs Olds, but she did not come in that train. So this afternoon they went out again, and I with them. On our way, we stopped at a pionoforte establishment, and hired a piano. It is coming home Monday. At the railway station we had to get tickets, for the privilege of waiting there for Mrs Olds! When the train came, Mrs Olds was there, and we all got into a carriage and rode home. If Nelson gets through with his studies, he will perhaps come here to go with us to Paris. In two weeks or less it will be Christmas. How we shall miss all our friends then! I am afraid we won't havemuch of a Christmas. Sunday. 11. This morning Father & Mother went to the American Chapel. In the afternoon I went to Mr. MacDugals Church. It is so funny. They all stand up during prayers, and the hymns are so queer. Monday Dec. 12. Our piano came home to-day. It is very pretty. It is a Paris piano. I spent most of the time practising. This afternoon I was in the parlor with Jennie, when we had an earthquake!! Really, we had an earthquake!! The house shook all over. That man in Paris predicted it. He predicted the flood, which has taken place with a vengeance! He says too that at Venice there will be a flood,and the houses will be turned upside down, so the lower story will be up in the air! I guess we won't go to Venice. Tuesday 13. Today I have nothing to do but practice and read. Wednesday 14. I declare, this is wretched! Rain! Rain! Rain!!! I have got such a cold that I feel quite miserable This evening Father read "Enoch Arden." It is beautiful, and said to be the best thing that Tennyson has written. Thursday 15. Nothing new. Read-write-practise! Friday 16. I might as well leave out this week, for it is so interesting that I fear it will take up too much of your time to read it. For a wonder, it rains to-day! We have had such lovely weather all the week! Saturday 17. For a wonder, it doesn'train to-day. I must stay at home this morning, but in the afternoon Mother and I are going to see Mrs McDougall who is going with us to the School of the Deacons. Afternoon. When we got to the school, Mrs. McDougall asked for the sister "who speaks English." We were shown into a parlor up stairs, and in a room directly opposite, we heard the girls singing. It sounded very prettily. Presently the sister came in. She was dressed in a dark blue dress and apron, no hoops, and she wore a very deep collar, and a little close white muslin cap. I mention this because it is a regular uniform. It was settled that May & I should go to school from nine till twelve, to commence Monday. Sunday 18. We went to the American Chapel this morning, and in the afternooncalled on the Birch's. Clara was not at home. After our call, we went to the McDougall's church. Monday 19. Today we commenced to go to school Mother & Jennie went with us. After they went away, we were taken into a room full of little children, from eight to twelve years old. There, I was shown a seat between two girls, one German, and one English. Mabel was taken into another room. The little girls were all talking and studying out loud, and they made such a racket that I could hardly think. I sat still and heard them recite two lessons History & Arithmetic. Then we had "Recreation," during which I was questioned in a most patronizing manner by those children. "What was my name?." and "Did I like to go toschool?" I almost expected them to pat me on the head and call me a "little dear!" The meaning of all this was that I didn't know much French, and had to be in the room with the youngest scholars. I suppose they felt their superiority over me, because they could jabber & chatter away like parrots. The older girls too patronized me. The two daughters of the vice consul, Helta and Florence de Karayan, made friends with me at once, & there was one girl, with beautiful hair falling down her back in long braids, who came rushing into the room, asked me a great many questions, and was off again in a flash, before I had time to collect my wits & answer her. She is an American, and very pretty. Her name is May Morgan "Recreation" lasted fifteen minutes, andthen they had another lesson. The scholars then had recess from twelve until one, and went home at four, but Mabel & I went home at twelve Mother came for us. Young ladies, and children are not allowed to go out alone, not even to school. The sisters' names are, Soeur Ida, Rosa, Anna, Louisa, Victorie, & Augusta. My teacher's name is Victorie. Soeur Anna is the youngest and the prettiest. The lessons are all in French, and they all speak it to-gether."At any time of life a great affection is a great happiness; the spirit comes to take refuge in it entirely." Eugenie de Guerin. "There is more power and beauty in the well-kept secret of one's self and one's thoughts, than in the display of a whole heaven that one may have inside one." Maurice de Guerin. "Noble thought produces Noble ends and uses, Noble hopes are part of Hope, wherever she may be. Noble thought enhances Life and all it's chances. And noble self, is noble song--All this I learn from thee!" Robert Buchanan. "To David in Heaven.""Much I make as make the others. Better much another man Makes than I, but much more over, Make I which not other can." Friedrich Ruckert. "Who is the man, by force or skill, Can stem the torrent of a woman's will? For if she will, she will, you may depend upon it And if she won't, she won't, & there's an end on't!" From a pillow created in Canterbury. "Where you can give, give freely. There is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers." "This above all- To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." Hamlet."Love me not for comely grace, For my pleasing eye and face; No, nor for my constant heart For these may change, and turn to ill, And thus true love may sever. But love me on, and know not why, To hast thou the same reason still To dote upon me ever." From "Wives and daughters." "Many a learned man is like the cashier of a banker; he has the key to much money, but the money does not belong to him." "Sentimental people stir their feelings till they foam, and then think they have full, over-flowing hearts, but it is only air.""Poverty is a sand-bank; riches a rock, in the sea of life. The fortunate ... between. From poverty our own strength may protect us; from riches, only the grace of God." "The secret of all power consists in this; to know that others are still more cowardly than we." "There is nothing new under the sun. Our statesmen of today who use such strange measures to suppress the demands of the age, are only imitating the French clergy of the middle ages who once, to prevent a famine, ordered a three-day fast." From B...Prophecy for Class of '71. A prophecy, a prophecy! How can one write a prophecy, who has neither the clairvoyant's far-seeing eye, nor the astrologer's all-heavenly, piercing gaze? This riddle can be solved only by a compromise between the Past and Present, a joining of these two great forces for the realization, or rather, idealization, of the third and most interesting to us - the grand and open Future of probabilities - Possibilities may be the more fitting word, but not the more satisfactory, therefore say we again, "Probabilities." Is it better, by a long preamble, to excite still further the evident consuming anxiety for a glimpse into the marvellous "To be"; or immediately to relieve from the thralldom of suspense, that at peace maybe the seekers for the light of the new morning? This problem we will now proceed to answer. (Blair) The first is one whom we shall see no more in these halls, who leaves to become a Happyer creature, doing good to the benighted of this word, our ... herald to China - A stately ship leaves the port, bearing missionaries twain to the Eastern Empire. Methinks, even now the people wave their handkerchiefs to the departing ship - even now is heard the last farewell. (Keip) Through greek roots, latin synomyms, sixty minutes a day, and three years college drill,we can safely say that this maiden, ... in ancient love, will never forsake the path of learning, but ever dipping deeper in the fountainof knowledge, Keep Reedy. (Hileman) Once thy happiness was complete, but soon was .... Yet again was it restored, tho' not to the same state. No, another picture has taken its place beneath thy pillow, and now is the song "I'm Waning away, Jean, I'm Waning." In future days we see her Waning - the laurel wreath of fame rejected, lying at her side all forsaken, all awarded to her fine 'Ed.' (Hiscox) Alas! Another is it our sad duty to chronicle as among the missing, soon to be. These summer evenings glorious, will see her still receiving calls by candle light - again Juliet's sweet tones in the balcony are heard, the dim light of the "candles of the sky"proving sufficient for her, for him the start of earth, her sparkling eyes, will brighten all below. (Esty) Alack! What do the Fates tell us! Can such mischief be wrought by celestial minds? A faithless youth, a careless maid - For their rashness dearly paid; but, thanks to good sense, peace is again restored, and again is verified the adage that "the course of true love never did run smooth." "Two friends can ne'er be friends - When towards one the feeling tends." Kuckuck, Kuckuck! (Garnsey) What strange combinations are found, at times! Is it not strange that the luckless Maria Stuart should still find (2 admirers) (1 romantic) in this ...? Even so it is, however, and still sees the Future Lady Stuart anda great English Novelist's namesake cosily picnicking through life, discussing the coming article on the worthy "Union", clear to both these royal personages. (Slocum) What means this Kingly dwelling? Is't palace, is't court? Nay, my friend, 'tis the "corner store", a ten story marble building, the whole sale depot of "Raisins, Nuts, Apples, Boots and Shoes, Fish and Dry Goods" proclaimed by the "Sign of the Cod" Opposite we see a palatial, high stoop, brown stone front; in every window flowers bloom, on every table herbaria. A love for Nature is every where shown, from basement to garret. Further on rears its stately outline the grand university which Josiah has endowed, with noble mind.(Bowker) A reader of character now comes. O give us for once the power to discover her secret! We await the revelation! It comes! 1st test: Hardness - 2nd test luster and diapheneity. The diapheneity of some people is surprising! They vary from transparency to opaqueness. Some are so clear that you can see right through them; others allow you to think them translucent, but it is only the edges that transmit light - subtranslucent! Again there are some entirely opaque; nothing can be done with such! 3rd test: solubility. Well, ah, well, vinegar is the most powerful acid, represented by ... or ..., and those who withstand this are of the highest degree of hardness, 10. a true jewel in the world - It has again left us, but To her it ever will remain [four lines in German] Musician of Bergen waits, waits longingly for his "brightest eyes" coming - The impelling power of the grand organ, the coming physician, ... - and she, in shimmer of satin of pearls, is standing by his side, a blooming, blushing bride. (Rochester) In future dim we see the Gates of happiness waiting to receive her. E'en now they are ajar, and she is destined e'er to be the treasurer of his heart, unles her mind does chand, and she resolves to be the treasurer of her own alone. But looking deep into the clear late of destiny we see her sitting by the well-spreadtable, giving a slightly candle lecture to her husband. It seems that he differs from her in his favorite candidate at the coming election, and she is striving to convert him to her side of the question. Since woman's weapon has always been her tongue, so we suppose, will it continue to be, but no less her tongue than her perfect, polished all-convincing rhetoric. However, if this last fails, the next view will be dissolving, so to speak. We see her nailing up a barrel fast with a Cooper's skill, and that is the last to be seen of her own, her sweet, her darling Will. (Mitchell) We see a stage, we see an orchestra, we see a multitude of up-turned fans, all waiting in their homage to one who stands before them - all hearts,all minds, all purposes for once agreeing in love and admiration for this "singer sweet of minstrelsy." Now, look! a slender form, a dark, kindling eye - but hark! hear the sweet sounds, can it be from earth? The voice trembles with pathos, grows confident and hopeful, and at last they hear only the lingering murmur of her triumphant tones, high avove, among the arches wandering, like a silver thread about the pillars twining. Clear and subtly charming, their hearts are lifted far, far into the realms of space, and some have had the greatest possibilities in their nature awakened by this little strain of song. Ah! the power of all of us is as great in its way, but not all, like her, will show it thus. A bless-ing on all with the gift of song, who use it to charm the ear, and make every sadness forgotten. (Glover) Well, one can hardly , at times, imagine the things which lie concealed deep down in some hearts, Ah! here is one, alas! alas!! who will show her power, her hidden forces, in driving to their death one doctor, one lawyer, two theologues - the ugliest, the crossest, the grumblingest of wives; the sweetest, most charming, benevolent and guileless of widows. With her cunning boudoir adorned from top to bottom by pictures of her "dear departeds," wreathed in crape[sic] and immortelly[sic]. Thus she sits and weeps after each departure to the spirit-land (for were they not truly martyrs?) waiting for the next, and hersong is "Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly. It's the darlingest little parlor that ever you did spy!" (Rowe) One, devoted in our band, Will go to a distant land. Will clothe young "savages." Will teach them how to write & read, and their young mouths with pudding feed. Then she will return, and visit Vassar College. The "College family" will be called to assemble in the chapel for a few minutes after dinner, to listen to her words of travel, hardships, crusts and bones. She will relate the tale of persecution, of snakes, of Savage Kings, and alligators. Will live honored and respected, it may be , because she will always be away, but we think not. And shewill always "Row her own canoe." (Wells) The young lady who so delights in playing practical jokes, directing letters to single gentlemen for single ladies, is hrd to prophesy for. Whether she will live forever on pickles and pound-cake, as Miss Lyman says, or will settle down a life of lessed trained-ness, is different to say. But we see, we see, we know clearly now -- yes, happy doutless will be her portion - horses, carriages, all things nice and fine -- she will play an important part in the Comedy of Life. (Stevens) Oh! dear. Who shall decide when doctorrs disappear? Come to our assistance, we languish, we [pinch]!! Such quantities of cadets to choose from -- such fickleness displayed! finish one, then the other. Of course its hard to keep forever fond and true to the same uniform, for somehow they all do look alike: the broad buttons dazzles our eyes so that when all are so charming it somehow makes a mire of affairs. But to the fates we have it all - they will give her a just allotment, a happy decision we know they will [dried] her to. (Everett) ... - voice, blue eyes, oh! there is no need of saying "..." - how could we? Whatever home is blest by her smile, be it hat or ... halls, will ever be one of content and happines. Forever can we say, "..." (Brown) Far from the sunny South comes a classic maid, like Grecian fair, in ancient story, to worship at Minerva's shrine. Skilled in the history of her people, as in this lesser world, so in the great world will she an historian be - to chronicle the fortunes of her kindred. Even now, we see her staggering under the weight of the wreath of honor and glory awarded her by a grateful people - with rusty armor hung upon its walls, and laurel garlands all about, her room gleams and glimmers in the sunlight - more like a masion's chamber than that of our ... stirring with the pen - but so will it be, and in future time, it will never be said "A prophet is not without hour, even in his own country." (Parsons) Of an obedient daughter write we now. So rare an example of filial love is rarely seen. Can we relate to a gaping public the mandate of the "Cruel Parients." the correspondence so rudely broken off? Never. But this we can say, that next door houses, which contain dark moustaches are dangerous things: likewise, when they (the houses) contain windows looking out on croquet-grounds-By-the-way, moonlight nights behold strange things at times. How gently clicks the mallets stroke upon the balls. So lightly, one can hear the dew that falls, And the softly-whispered knell "Farewell, farewell." Fifty years hence will see our heroine a stately, dignified old lady,With silvery curls & friendly speech Nodding kindly to all she meets. (Smith L. C.) With flowing tresses, dark & wavy, Glowing, upturned eye She cometh through the labyrinth mazy Our singer sweet of poesy. Let us spend an evening with the poet. Cast your eye about, "here, there, & everywhere" are the sources of her inspiration, in green and gold, in gold and blue. See them shining on their shelves - The fruits of the transcendent genius of this being is every where beholden-take down a volume, look therein-what name upon the title-page? Nay, start not, 'tis but the name of this room's lovely occupant-Yes, the times are changed indeed-Now, a poet draws inspiration from self, from works of self-All these books, this vast library, are herown sweet, lyric songs; and she is crowned, after the long struggle after fame, with fame, and books! (Adams) Hie-spy! Lets hie To Ida & Arthur Neither a martyr who first finds And fast binds These hearts together Never to sever? An ... to her hours The tour of Europi A French-roofed cottage A happy life - What more could be asked? "Multum in parvo" a whole life-history in three lines Condensed expressly for the College Catalogue of all its Anna Matildas. (Sibley) A physician now greets our eyes - one well known to the world. Pictures of her beaming countenance adorn every periodical - Almanacs are daily issued, bearing her seal. 10,000th edition. Read the wonderful cures wrought by the greatSanatorianess, the grand Sibyllic physician. Consultation free of charge! May be seen entering the city at 5 P.M. in a chariot golden, drawn by eight snow-white studs, caparisoned in crimson velvet, driven by four liveried coachmen in green and gold!!" (Sherman) Ah! the greatness and goodness of a coming alumna may easier be felt than expressed. We, who foretell the future, deeply feel the honor we receive in sitting next to the ...-hearted philanthropist, and feel ourselves almost great through contiguity to greatness. Yea, once one saw the lip quiver, the eye flash, the mouth settle itself into lines of firmness, when one, our mother, with a most charming ..., mentioned the proposed legacy of a coming graduate for "single rooms for all." Looking up, we saw her face, by our side, the determination that she, she should be the benefactress of Vassar College. Now, in the "Magic Mirror" may be seen - by anyone who will cross our palm with silver - the bust of pure Carrara marble, placed on the desk of the Rostrum, garlands of blooming flowers every morning fresh, gracefully drooping over the classic brow, e'en o'er the dark expressive eyes - Imagine the effect on the coming generation! (Blakeman) G-o-sh! Whizz!! Bang!!! Good heavens, what greets our eyes? An immense oval-orbicular structure, something like an umbrella, something like a hoop - skirt. It is silken, too - bright golden, spangled with cerulean blue stars - the order or nature reversed, you perceive. But what does it mean, explain! We hardly know what it means, our pen trembles in undertaking the task of description. In a dress - if so it may be called - of rose and silver-gray clouds, girded at the waist by a ray from the setting sun, with a little gleaming sceptre[sic] of dim stars, with which the being strange, touching the world, whirls it into darkness, at will. The apparition descends lightly, resting one foot on the earth, the other poised upon the edge of the "Chariot of Clouds" - gazes wonderingly about for a moment; then, waving the sceptre above her head, is whirled rapidly thro' her native ether,and lost to sight. Leaves us lost in darkness, at her bidding. The name of this illustrious? How can we so come down from our lofty heights to a mere name? Ah, we miserable! 'twas only our Black-man, who such power has gained. (Palmer) 'Twas forbidden Eve to taste the apple, but Eve did it, you may have heard - Even so is it forbidden a man to marry his grandmother, but we have never heard, however, that any one attempted that. Cousins or namesakes are equally as bad, and it has been found that a here-to-fore studious and persevering young woman of '71, (that is not her age, our friends) has entangled herself into a troublesome corres-pondence with her cousin, or at least somebody very like that individual. We do not say that this is troublesome to the young lady herself, but only to her numerous friends and other admirers. We do hereby solemnly prophesy that if her well wishers continue to remonstrate with her, before twenty years have passed away she will be a living example of "Love in a Cottage," living on mush and milk: and that, before she will have reached the age of sixty, those "raving" locks will be thickly sprinkled with gray (tho dyed): that she will wear a false chignon, that the best gold plate the dentist can produce, will be in her possession, and That her children ten Will marry rich men That all will go well Like a marriage bell.(Cornell) We feel some compunctions of conscience at revealing the future of this one - Truly "Coming events cast their shadows before," but may it not become somewhat embarrassing to the young lady To publicly announce How the Count then Mounts By a rope ladder When a slight shudder Preparing to fly From a window high May dimly be seen Down she goes On the tips of her toes Gently, gently Troubled ment'ly Fearing lest Pater Or loved Mater The footsteps hear Safe at last The danger past They hast'ning go To reach the depot When the tardy train They speedily gain "En route for Utah."

The first great question for us to decide, Was the "Profs" to be asked to our sleigh-ride. For Backus and Orton then was quite a strife, But alas for us all, they each had a wife. Now what do do with these jealous wives, Caused a racking of brains for us to devise. But at last 'twas agreed them all to invite, And to trust to the wives to do what was right. We invited our guests, we hired our team, And now for some fun all ready ...'d seem. But alas! on Saturday when we did arise, What a miserable sight did greet our eyes! A drizzling rain and a ... street, And thus was ended our longed-for treat. I. W. Adams. Our Last Class Meeting. Anapestic Monometer Acatalectic verse must be read with great care in order to bring out all its beauties. It is just four week today Since we met in Society Hall, Where Ellie, so smiling and gay, Stood to receive us all. As I came in from the rain, How pleasant the room did look With Susie and Ida and Mama And others, scattered in each nook! Soon to the dance we went, But Millie at the piano staid, And the sound of feet & music were blent While Millie so beautifully played. When with the dance we were weary, We had a charming charade, In which Minnie, Nell, and Mary Interesting lectures made. But when the lectures were finished, A sound was heard overhead; The tones of the bell us admonished That it was time to go to bed. J. P. BrownThe Candy Pull of Seventy-one. A History in Rhymes. At Vassar College in Po'keepsie, (A place where people ne'er get tipsy) The jovial Class of Seventy-one Made up their minds to have some fun. So, when the snow was falling fast, Not thinking they how long 'twould last, They had a meetin in room K, And then they fixed upon a day To have a sleigh-ride-Saturday night, When woods & fields were clothed in white, (Pardon the bull for the sake of the rhyme, I'll try to do better another time!) When the silvery moon was shining down Over the country and over the town, They'd bundle up in cloak & hood,And have a sleigh-ride, that they would. And now have patience, in my ditty, With a little praise of our committee. With patient care they did indite A letter to Fitchett, as will they might, Fitchett, the owner of horses & sleighs, Better ask him if the business pays. But one of the rules of the house-well ... Is that "The children must never go out alone." And so our Secretary, so polite, Backus and Orton did invite, Yes, and she also invited their wives, Wouldn't leave them out, not for our lives! And then she added Professor Mitchell, A woman who wouldn't fill a niche ill In Westminster Abbey, near London town, Or in any other place of renown. Thus were the Juniors prepared to go, But alas! alas! it ceased to snow, And the sun came out, & the rain descended, It wasn't at all what they'd intended. The Junior faces were under a cloud, They didn't want to say it out loud; But if there were only a kitchen handy In which they could make molasses candy! No kitchen appeared to the Junior eyes, So they went home a-heaving of sighs. But soon, though strange to you it seem, A change came o'er the Junior dream. By magic art there opened a kitchen, And all they had to do was to pitch in, Get the molasses and have a good time, Surely you can't suggest 'twas a crime! Saturday night, white-aproned & smiling,They stood & watched the candy a-biling. Visitors mighty appeared on the scene, Wondering what the uproar could mean. And Angie patiently stirred the molasses, While other pretty and homely lasses Chopped up the chocolate, buttered the pans, Got everything ready, then folded their hands. And Angie patiently stirred & stirred, While we sat quietly waiting the word That should put our faces all in a glow, When we put the candy out on the snow. Unto every thing cometh a change, Things long accustomed, & things that are strange And at last, with the word, "the candy's done cooling," We buttered our fingers, & all began pulling. Our Millie showed a most wonderful knowledge (Wonderful even in Vassar College) Of the art sublime, unknown to the ancients, The art that requireth very much patience. And Kate the good-natured made us our caramels Perhaps she knew we wouldn't have had 'em else, x x x x x x x x x x x x Who made the discovery? "Twas whispered low "The candy is burnt, & people will know That the glorious class of Seventy-one Don't know when their candy is done!" Louise the plucky wouldn't endure it, And so she thought of a way to cure it. To go straightway to the generous steward, And see if he couldn't be allured By greenbacks, held 'tween thumb & finger. Sugar to give, & with it some vinegar, That the gay and jolly Junior crowd Might have some what where of to be proud. The brave ambassadors brought what was needed Faces radiant showed they'd succeeded. Ask me not what became of this last, Our fate was sealed, the die was cast, But the turbid dream of candy was not o'er It rolled o'er the couch of my mother's daughter, All night long, and in the morning, When the first dim, gray light was dawning, I firmly resolved to mount the steed That we name Pegasus, good at need. The beast is short legged, his gait is peculiar, He don't travel swiftly ehough for a courier, He's such an uncomfortable beast altogether That I most seriously wonder whether I hadn't better get off his back, Give it a most tremenjuous[sic] whack, And devote the rest of my strength & will To my friend & companion "Natural Phil." E. M. Folsom.Members of the class of Seventy-one, Good I wish to all, and ill to none; May you many homes make pure & bright, And on Science shed rich rays of light E. H. Garnsey. The Sunshine. I sat at my study table Quite early the other day. All alone in the parlor, For my room-mates had gone away. The world was bright about me, The sunshine lay on the floor, On the wall, and on the table, And played hide & seek with the door. But a book was lying before me, And I studied and studied on - Hardly raising my eyelids, For the lesson was not half done. Till by and by the sunshine, A little tired of its play, Left the door to its darkness, And quietly crept away. Crept farther on to the table, Crept over the leaves of my book, And made them bright and cheerful Destroying their sober look. How could I but see the sunshine, How could I but think of it too, And let it creep slowly into my heart As it seemed to long to do? And as it crept in so gently, It filled my heart with love For God's world & all His creatures, A messenger from above.God's beautiful, glorious sunshine, It filled my heart and soul With its beauty and its loveliness, Thus purifying the whole. And when I went back to my lesson The hardest, roughest part Was only a pleasure to me, With God's sunshine in my heart. M. O. Glover. Have you heard the story old, That for many ages has been told? How once some twenty maidens odd, Solemnly pledged themselves one & all To seek after Genius, that gift of God. These twenty maids dwelt in classic halls, Which they greatly revered deep down in their souls And here lay the gem concealed, it was said, Which glory would, shed, round the maiden's headWho to its discovery should have led. Each of the maids had a casket planned Wondrously by God's invisible hand; But these were all so intricately wrought That the maids, although with a will they sought Couldn't for days get open the lock. But with perseverance they worked away, And after a while the light of day Peeped as curiously thro' the lids as they, To see in which the gift might be That they were all seeking so anxiously. Deep down in one with lustre gleamed The gem so rare and bright that it seemed To the wondering eyes of the maids as they gazed On its beautiful, brilliant, reflected rays That it must be a treasure of Paradise. The one to whose casket the treasure was sentAll looked upon with wonder, ... With love, as having it in her dower To aid in dispersing the gloomy lower Of the clouds round men's minds with such wonderful power. Dora Hileman. In the woods when the shades are deepest, When the flowers bloom the sweetest, Song of bird, and hum of bee Make the fairest of music to me. On the lea, when the fresh wind bloweth, When the cool stream gently floweth, Brook, and sky, and smiling lea Make the fairest of pictures to me. When the sun o'er the mountain strayeth, When the pure air freshly playeth, Sun, and mountain-air so free Hold the fairest of treasures to me. Kate Jewitt.To write a rhyme, I have no time. Louise La Due. I have wooed the muse, But begin to despair Being able to summon her Out from her lair. S. B. D. Lewis. An Excuse. A poem, you say, you must have, But you little know what you ask, Or you would have waited a year & a day Before setting me such a task. In justice to myself I would say, The muses have deserted me quite, So all that remains for me to do Is, sorrowfully my excuse to write. K. A. Loveland.To make a verse rhyme Is an impossible thing For I tried all the time To write an original something. M.C. House. The day is almost done; The work is already laid by; Tell me, thou setting sun, O whither dost thou fly! What is there in the West Where thou dost take thy way? Goest thou to lighten a breast, In a flood of golden day? The stars begin to peep; The heavens doth grow dark; I lay me down to sleep With a heavy, burdened heart.The faces I knew long ago, The voices that were dear, One face comes up from the Past My heart has grown heavy & drear. The angel of darkness has come Over my life to spread His wings of doom - some Hearts grow as heavy as lead. Folly - unhappiness - death Of many hopes once bright - Sickness - bewildering doubt - Can such a heart be light! Rosy lips, whose lusciousness Ever to mine was held - Sweet kisses, whose blessedness My passions quelled - Gone! each joy must have an end - Gone! each face must vanish away- Gone! each voice must withdraw its tone- Gone! each kiss must die as the day.

My friends, my time has given out, And so I must close this ditty. To those of you whom I haven't mentions, I can only say, 'tis a pity. But you know the roll is only half called, And at another time If our life is spared, I'll tell you all, Only - it won't be in rhyme! M. S. Nicoll. Life, my friends, is full of anguish, Essays on our steps attend; 'Tis in vain we sigh and languish, Duties meet us without end. But by far the greatest trial Is when classmates stern demand (Countenancing no denial) Proofs of Genius from one's hand. Now I have my task completed, Brought my talents to the light, I am ready to be greeted With expressions of delight. Susie Raymond. If write I must, I'll do my best, and let my class-mates know Where there's a will there's ever a way Proves not always quite so.To make a rhyme, can any one, 'Tis a tendency of nature, But a poem worthy of the class of '71, Requires another feature. We learn that when the world was made, To each a share was given; The poet did not come for his, But lingered still in heaven. He came at last, but 'twas too late; For every part was taken. Then Jove, a place within his gate Granted to the one forsaken. Still he visits earth, and oft has let His mantel fall on those who pass, And as it has been within our walls, Why not with a member of our class? A. E. Rowe.As I sieze the pen, doth tremble my hand, To try my stupid wit at poesie, But in obedience to the stern command Do undertake the embassy. To a fertile mind, 'tis hard to choose Which from the Muses to abuse; Whether dramatic or lyric For a professed empiric, Or epic or blank For a mountebank. But, quoth I, sure why not invent The grandest of measures i'faith That to man the Muse hath e'er lent To appease the uneasy wraith Of class-mates, indignant That one should fail In attempt to enchant Twenty-three female! (Pardon here the grammar For the ends won't meet Unless once in a whilePlural the singular ....) Can't write any .... It's no use I know, For always 'tis so: That howe'er much one may implore They're sure to be struck to the floor When they're not so strong As the hurrying throng - The bell hath rung for tea So this is the last you'll see of me. A. L. Sanford. The Widow's Heart made glad. Night was gathering in the village, Storm was raging thick and fast, As a lonely widow woman Through the busy street did pass. Sorrow's child, I saw too plainly Written on her noble brow; Poverty had wrought its mission; She was poor and friendless now. No one noted of her coming; No one in that busy throng Cared to ask her of her sorrow Or to give her heart a balm. On she trudged with weary footsteps, Looking timidly around, Till at last she reached the gateway Of a mansion far renowned. Timidly she asked for bounty, Proudly was it her denied, As the haughty, scornful lady Drew her costly robes aside. We do not confer our bounty Upon every starving one: Over yonder is the poor-house, There your longings may be done. Lady, begged the suffering woman Three sick babes have I at home. Oh! for Jesus' sake do give me Bread to hush their starving moan. As she saw still cold denial Written on the haughty face, With a cry of torturing anguish Lifted she her poor, wan, face. Lady, will you hear a story of a life once bright as yours? It, perchance, may teach a lesson Of earth's frailty and woes. Lady, you are rich and happy Fortune's favors all are yours; Happy husband, loving children, All are freely given you.Once I was by fortune favored. Friends a plenty had I then. Life was like a happy May-day, Sorrow never knew I then. But that life, which was so happy Soon for me did have an end And I found that I the cup of sorrow To its bitt'rest dregs must drain. Of the many wooing suitors Who did grace my childhood's home, One there was whom, spite of warning, I did blindly, madly love. Father's sorrow and displeasure, Threats of being turned from home If I dared to favor Harry, Proudly did I bear alone. 'Tis the oft repeated story - Daughter's willfulness and pride, Father's sorrow and displeasure, Disinheritance of child. Yes, I left the dearly loved ones; Madly, blindly did I love Him, who cruelly deceived me As to his undying love. But against the dead I will not murmur, God has judged him long ago. Our brief, wedded life was only One long, weary sea of woe. Tho' I've never seen my father Since he sternly bade me go From the house where I was nurtured, If I loved my Harry so, Yet I've heard from others That that day his hair turned white; Sorrow for his child's behavior Turned his day to darkest night. Tearfully they saw him sinking, Failing, failing, day by day, Till one night God sent his angels, Gently calling him away. "Mary" was the last last word he uttered As he joined the angel band. "Father, I have sinned, forgive me," Is the answer which I send. Father's love, and husband's falseness, Friends once many, now nor more, Disobedience and sorrow Are my momentoes of yore. Ay! too truly comes the warning "As ye sow so shall ye reap." From the seeds of disobedienceI have gathered sorrow's sheaf. Three starving babes at home are waiting For my tender, watchful care. Lady, have you learned a lesson? Can you picture such despair? Tears were rolling from the eyelids Of that once proud, haughty one. I will give you gladly, freely, May God forgive the past undone. And, forthwith, joy and sunshine Lighted up that widow's home, For the wealthy, haughty woman Gave her freely from her store. Surely, there was joy in Heaven When the recording angel told Of that scene which he had witnessed 'Twixt the sad one and the cold. Let us, too, be ever mindful Of the poor who us surround, Remembering our Master's message, "Freely give where want is found. H. J. Sibley. Weary and tired I sit me down To do a thing quite out of my line. To help me through this trying task I call together the muses nine. Sublime or funny, happy or sad, Anything so it's poetical - Regardless of sense, measure, or line, If the verses are only symmetrical. The pale-faced moon and twinkling stars, The rippling waters, cerulean blue - The falling leaf - and fading flower - Alas! I hit upon nothing new! In vain the gentle muse I woo, She only scoffs at my distress ... mortal never was before Born with such woeful stupidness! Consoling though it is to think I'm not for this at all to blame, If brilliant talent had been mine Then mine had been a shining name. But I'm content to lowly be And move within an humble sphere. Where would be glory for the great, If of the great each were the peer? It takes all sorts to make a world, If some are high, some must be low. Nature deals not with all alike; And this is wise in her, you know. Now I've begun, how shall I end?I can't go on, and what shall I do? But trusting each one here's my friend, I'll leave it all to you. Mt. T. Slocum.Prologue read at the second representation of "Romeo & Juliet," in Society Hall, May 13, 1870. The circumstances under which this play is about to be represented, to the literary public, seem to demand a few explanatory and apologetical remarks. Never did true love run less smooth than in the cases of our Juliet and Romeo (the cause of this somewhat strange inversion of names is out of "deference to the ladies," under the new regime). Three weeks has made no difference in the depth of this affection, you will see; tho' the roaring flame which in Romeo's heart did burn had a singular effect upon his wardrobe, whichhas not, as yet, been replaced, owing to that press of circumsances which calls into exertion every Faculty, at times! Juliet is still the same "airy nothing," and has passed her weeks of waiting for Romeo in "flitting about from flower to flower, gathering honey every hour." Mercuth, the gay, Mercuth, the ..., tho' slightly changed in his intellectual exterior (you remember he was exceedingly well-read!) carries the weight of the world upon his shoulders with the same quiet dignity! The heavy father of the piece will appear rejuvenated, a beardless youth again, and shorn by untoward events of the royal ermine. We hope you will bear with us, if the "stage asides" are not performed with the same fiery ardor as before. Also, the soothing influences of time have so far quelled the turbulence of Juliet's affections, that, tonight, she proposes to wait for Romey to come to the balcony, instead of making the balcony go to Romey! If our characters seem some what gravely ..., why then, remember "there's but a step from the gay to gray!" In conclusioh, and in accordance with the lofty strains of an unknown poet. Higher powers than we're Ordain our Costumes here, With many a tear Dropped on their bier We watched them disappear! Angie L. Sanford. Parting Song. '71 to '70. M. A. Glover, assisted by E. M. Folsom. 1. Happy & light are our hearts tonight, But, alas! for human gladness, The brightest day doth ne'er pass away, Without a tinge of sadness. Chorus. Come classmates all, for whate'er befall, We are one thro' mud & weather, By a a joyful lay drive dull care away And be merry and gay together. 2. Soon shall we stand on the white sea-sand And, looking o'er the waters, Shall be horrified to see the tide Run off with Seventy's daughters. Chorus3. As ye leave us now with saddened brow, Ye grave and reverend Seniors, We wish you joy without alloy, And a chance to show your genius. Cho. 4. Then let us sing till the ceilings ring A loud and smiling chorus, For altho' we know that you must go, Our senior year's before us. Chorus. Address to the Seniors. It seems necessary to the harmonious working of the world, in general, that just as we have learned to prize some object in particular, very highly, we should be debarred from the enjoyment of it. So, as we are learning to value our sister 70 more and more, the potent but mute eloquence of "Artium Baccalaureas" entices her away: her last words summoning us to fill the niche which has been hers. Tho' our heart is pierced with the conventional sorrow of sadness, yet we cannot wholly mourn at your departure; for we are human, and would it be natural to wish a presence here, which could but retard our progress?Who would forego the luscious fruits of autumn for the sake of having a some what longer season of genial, glorious summer? When our small but respectable class is tossing helplessly out on the breakers of senioral dignities, and dismally beats about, longing for the tide which shall bear us safely to '70's recently vacated port - then, if ever give us a cheering smile of encouragement, remembering your own frantic endeavors to carry becomingly the honors which descended on your shoulders from '69. In this imitation of your emblem, instead of taking as representatives one leaf from each of your thirty-three branches, daring to foreshadow the future, we have resolved each leaf into a tiny cluster of flowers - we do not feel ourselves over confident in making this change, for what are petals but leaves of a more delicate texture, a more exquisite tint? Yet, if you would remain blossoms, you can never become apples: the petals must fall, the fresh, green calyx must wither, before the fruit of the sturdy tree shall reach maturity. Know, that as we symbolize the breaking-up of your class, we see in each bud and blossom the prophecy of ripe, rare fruit, in the years that are yet to be. A. L. Sanford.A Dream. Through the vista of years, With their hopes and their fears, I look at my childhood time. Oh! the sky was so blue, And all hearts were so true In that sunshiny childhood clime! For old care hid his face In the first of the race, And sorrows were transient & few, E'en my dreams they were bright With the beautiful light Which falls on the morning's fresh dew. And one night, as I dreamed, Right before me there seemed A radiant angel to stand; Both her arms opened wide - When to reach her I triedA scroll only lay in my hand. For the angel had flown, And I there all alone - Still holding quite firmly the scroll - Stood transfixed with surprise, For her far-seeing eyes Had looked straight down into my soul. And, gleaming all bright, In great letters of light, On the scroll one word greeted my eyes, But an instant did stay, And then faded away Like a sunset-cloud out of the skies. It was only one word, But my whole soul it stirred, For "Seek," said the letters of light, And wild thoughts filled my brain That 'twould not be in vainTo seek for my angel that night. x x x x x x x The dream has long passed, But its memory will last Till thro' trials & temptations I've striven Truth's fair angel to find, And when earth's left behind, Face to face I may see her in Heaven. Marie O. Glover June 18, '70.For this precious heir-looms[sic], O '70, which you today give into our keeping, and for your wise words of counsel, so generously given, '71 would be duly grateful. Yet our gratitude is modified by the fact that, as the property is entailed, you are simply making a virtue of necessity. But for the wisdom you have poured out in such unstinted measure, for the kindly reticence you have shown in dealing with our faults and foibles, for your friendly advice to us - can you doubt the depth of our gratitude for these? Was there ever mortal who was anything else than grateful for advice? And is it not pleasant to have a semi-transparent screen held up before one's faults, with a magnifying lensbehind it? Ah! '70, have you never read of those precocious children, who are always letting out the older sister's secrets, just when she thinks their tongues are most effectually silenced by the candy she has given them? We could, if we only would, take up the role you have given us, but we resent alike your proffered candy and the sly box on the ear that accompanies it, and intend to play our own part, today. Though, being your juniors, we wash our hands of all responsibility in your training, yet we are quite anxious that you should appear well as you leave these "classic shades" forthe scattered hours in which you are to use whatever of good or ill you have gained here; for from you the world will form its judgement of us. So we willingly dwell for a little while upon those bright and shining qualities which will make '70's name remembered long after our halls have ceased to echo to her footstep or her voice. Yet be it far from us to insinuate that you need any word of praise from us, or that your faults are so evident as to need no showing. That you have improved since last year, none can deny. We all love our Alma Mater too well to let it be assertedthat a year passed under her roof can be unproductive of good. The young author writes better after the publisher's crushing "not available," the disappointed lover, if he have any grit in him, is made stronger by the "no" than by an easily won "yes." And so we see the Class of '70, a year ago like the scattered dandelion seeds, blown off by the careless breath of '69, today erect and vigorous, each seed transformed into a hardy little plant, holding up its bunch of round, shiny, yellow knobs in fearless honesty. This trait in your character is one in which you have made rapid progress since last year. Now that weknow how you really felt on that memorable occasion, we admire the spartan fierceness which characterized your conduct. We were but Sophomores, then, and to us came no vision of disappointed author or lover. We only thought of a story, heard long before, and half forgotten, of a certain old woman, who, growing weary of the pranks of a once loved kitten, dropped her, securely tied in a bag, into a neighboring pond. This done, our old lady trudged home with a light heart, to find, on her arrival, the irrepressible cat seated, in calm unconcern, drying herself by the fire. The story flitted through memory'sdim vaults, and we found ourselves trying to recall the old lady's name - was it '69? You, '70, would never be guilty of such a deed, for have you not ever been foremost in the College Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals? The weak and the oppressed have always found you with ready ear to hear, and willing hand to help, while the strong have just as surely found you ready to do battle whenever the cause in which you enlisted seamed to warrant the hope that perseverance would be crowned with success. You brought a huge boulder from afar, fondly hoping that under its protect- ing shadow this little sapling might pass the first struggling years of its existence, But, like many other good things you have attempted, the boulder was run into the ground by the higher powere, and the poor little maple left to bear the heat of the day alone. The treatment has not, apparently, agreed with its constitution. But, remembering '70's abject condition last year, oh! maple, you, as well as '71, may dare to be hopeful. There may be a suspicion lurking in the minds of some who are present today, that your virtues, like those of '71, are visible only to '70's eye of faith, the pathway still broader - ay! and with heart and brain she means to work to make it broader for the class of '72. To all who see today the sandy soil on which we are destined to spend our labor, we shall extend a hearty welcome, if, ... year, they come to see the result of our digging. '70, would that you could be of the number! But we know too well that when we meet again, it may be only when some of the links are lost from each golden chain, and as we part today, the word so hard to utter, lingers, and would fain change its import as it passes ourlips - '70, good-bye! In spite of the shadows you have, wittingly or unwittingly, sometimes cast upon our path, we love you still, and hope that the coming years will strengthen the cord that binds together '70 and '71.

I’d like to [pop?] in & see [what?] you have - & to give you my first flowers - for I have had the great priviledge of finding the first spring flowers he white [Hepatica’s?] - Miss Folsom & I went off a long way, about 2 miles, & I saw the first blossom [there?] [we] gathered quite a little quantity & we were so delighted we were gone only 1 hour from the college - we sent a delicate boquet to your old Prof Mitchel who wil never see the spring flowers again & I carried a cluster to Miss Avery who was pleased & to Miss Lyman who is sick - I unwittingly got into her presence & she was as delighted as a child. & thanked us very much - she was in bed but better - Miss Shattuck said “It was so sweet of you to remember me” Miss Small said she should be as proud as a queen and kissed me for them -- so I think I’ve made a good many hearts happy today consequently feel happy myself. The frogs are peeping - the yellow & blue crocus in bloom the hillsides green. Yesterday I thought of dear old New England. Later Miss Folsom & I were quite noted once in our lives - the President heard of our treasures before 2 hours - as I learned from his daughters & now you must have a fair sketch of the closing delights of the day - Rev J.P. Thompson lecture on Moscow - I can’t hope to do it justice. First I was quite charmed with the man - He reminds me much of [...] Harwood - with - a fully developed head & minus the [abrupt?] murmur - His voice was to say the least perfectly agreeable. I would [attract?]. He had an easy air of assurance, which I like - did not rise with apologies or expressions of embarrassment at appearing before us as so many of our lecturers have done - but his first words were “[To?] be dropped into Moscow in mid winter gives a curious sensation” & he went on in the most modest way I ever heard any [traveller?] speak in - he kept himself in the back ground & only now & then did he speak of himself & then often when he was in a ridiculous fix - Everything impressed me favorably & I was completely satisfied with one lecture at least - In other cities of Europe you see something familiar in some department - a sign over a shop or a rail way or something to remind of home but in Moscow all is strange - at times you fancy it is Damascus now Constantinople now you never saw the like - no streets are straight all kinds of buildings are mingled If you could see it of a clear winter morning ^as I did with the [innumerable?] domes & spires & the magnificent buildings stretching to the hills all on the background of glistening snow - you must wait till you get to the New Jerusalem before your eyes, behold another [crossed out: sight] picture so bewitching so lovely & withall so strange - you see strange houses strange women & stranger men till you feel a stranger to yourself - you see a sign “bath.” you think it is some enterprising American but the h turns out to be the Russian n - & its no bath - even the sun seems strange rising so late & running so low - the language is strange I called a conveyance late one night to take me to my Hotel. I knew but one word of Russian - Gostentsi meaning Hotel - & the name of the landlord Billo - so I said Gostentsi Billo & away we whirld soon I saw we were crossing the foot of the street I knew the Hotel was on - I rose up & seizing the driver by the shoulder shouted “Gostentsi Billo” - He turned & drove rapidly in another direction - again I shouted repeatedly Gostentsi Billo as I saw we were approaching a dangerous part of the city - I saw a lantern of a watchman & I stopped the driver & tried the effect of my magical words on him - he soon set my driver right - it seems he was a peasant who had come into the city for the winter & knew the city no better than I did - but he charged me 3 [fares?] forthe ride - Moscow is the typical city of Russia Petersburg is European next next to Paris & Vienna in in magnificence the grand place is more imposing than the Place de la Concord in Paris 5 wide streets miles long radiate from it - Moscow although three times burned is the crystalizing center of the Empire - she is naturally jealous of Petersburg - the coronation ceremony is still held in Moscow & an attempt to place [that?] at Petersburg would cause a revolution. Russia is 10 000 by 2500 miles in extent contains 8000 miles [...] coast - 9000 land [...arder?] 80 millions people - The cabin that Peter the Great built with his own hands on a little island in the river is still standing protected by an enclosing building - the table at which he sat & wrote his [...es?] I could look out upon the Capital & glory of his empire - there is not the great display of other [...] the Cathedral where all the sovereigns are buried has only plain marble steps with only the words “Peter” “Ann” “Katherine” & c The Russians took to the religious when it was introduced as a part of their duty to the government. A scene is described by one of the histories - a whole city were baptized at once some [...] in 5 the water - some sitting on the stones while the priest read the mass for all - that was the way Christianity was introduced in Russia - the Emperor recognizes not power above him - so he always kneeling by the altar places the crown upon his own head - then passing behind the screen takes the holy bread & wine - no Archbishop is worthy to crown an Emperor of Russia. The Russians have a great deal of religiosity - if I may use that word - at the main entrance to the Kremlin hangs the celebrated picture that winked or nodded or did something that sent away the French & no matter what the [temperature?] all must enter bare headed I tried it at 20° below zero - even the Emperor would not dare to wear his hat - Moscow is a city of churches - by actual count look which way you will - you see 100 domes without turning - the bells are many of them very fine in tune on the eve of Good Friday all of them are silent till Easter morning - when as a signal fire is lighted all the innumerable bells ring out in merry chime & every one as they hurry thro the streets to the early High Mass is at liberty to salute whoever he meetswith the holy kiss & the salutation “Christ is risen” on an evening of the year perhaps corresponding to our Hallow Eve the young ladies gather in a room at night and [then?] [...] on the floor a ring in the dark. each has a dish with a few grains of corn in it. - after a time spent in silent meditation a rooster who has been kept some time without food is introduced and after taking a little time to recover himself as other bipeds do under similar circumstances - he advances & helps himself to the corn - from whose dish he first picks will surely be married. The riding school is the largest building in the world without [obstructions?] or pillars of any kind - 960x160 - 2 regiments can [maneuver?] with ease - Tea is the universal beverage - sugar or lemon or milk at the little eating places - tea with the inevitable piece of lemon by the cup - Of all places in winter a Russian House is the most comfortable you are sure of being warm - a servant ushers you into an ante room where all outer garments are laid aside they never [...] [...] with them on - The inside of a russian house is charming no display but much comfort -- Many ladies are acquainted with 4 languages - one I visited conversed with me in English concerning our war as intelligently as if she had been here - turned to my companion & spoke in his native tongue German of the war just [closed?] - chatted with a French lady - gave her orders to servants in Russian - with no [affectation?] or hesitancy - But one thing you would notice that strikes one painfully is the free use of the name of God - they do not mean to swear it is a native habit = to say as this lady did “God how little tea you take.” “Lord how you Americans travel” - She did not mean any more than young ladies outside the walls of Vassar College do when they say “goodness,” “gracious” [&c?]. I was once told by a French teacher in New York - who was teaching in a boarding school when she first came here of an [experience?] of hers in this [...] - This you know was not a College only a boarding school - The Principal was a very [dignified] lady - & the French Mademoiselle was picking up all the English she could & one day when she wished the Principal to stop speaking she said “goodness gracious hold your tongue” the horrified lady demanded where in the world she got such language - the poor teacher had heard one of the young ladies use it - & supposed it was good English: this is a [bad?] [...] & - They have great churches no seats ⅔ are men no female voices in the choir no instruments - men’s voices very fine & when they are on a low key effect is weird thrilling - All go togeth the country people in sheep skin, filthy as possible, side my side with the rich furs. I said to my wife who was with me - what a pity that we must come to despotic Russia to find all [warshing?] together I was making what I thought a very effective reflection - my wife interrupted me as we were passing the steps - with “If you know the Russians for [...] I wish youd step in and get one [me?] the [close?] [...] was rather [suggest…?] - For a 1000 years Russia has been steadily advancing [never?] going back - its policy is persisting devotion to one idea - Russia will never own the world - America will never be the ruler - happily they [strike?] hands & go on together in our darkest day when those we expected to be our friends failed Russia was by us - the Czar has just purchased a [picture?] a [y...arra...n…?] to be hung with Russia’s heros showing the undying hundred of heroic souls” Thi is a very poor sketch but perhaps you will get a few ideas ---

Can I ever thus associate it as I should necessarily have to under the circumstances, and yet it is veryMAY --FRIDAY 25-- 1866 wicked to mar another ones happiness, but I should not do it selfishly. Time will prove all things, till then I must wait. I suppose, fearing nothing, wishing nothing. I wouldn't have it, so could I prevent it and be doing good there by, but why write of this.

Show moreWed. A.M. Feb. 13, 1918. Vassar College. (what’s left of it!) Dearest Fambly: - Well, talk about excitement! We’ve sure had it during the last twelve hours. The back of Main has burned! Tuesday & Thursday nights we are allowed to go to other halls for dinner, and I happened to be Helen Coddington’s guest in Strong (that’s the nearest dormitory to Main). After dinner all the girls were standing around the hall waiting for someone to play for them to dance. All of a sudden all the girls tore in one mass toward the south door (facing Main) and it was said they all decided to go over to Main to dance in “J” (the room on 2nd floor which is used for dancing). Then it turned to excitement and rumors of “Fire in Main” began to fly, and the girls were crying “No, don’t go there; it will cause too much congestion. They don’t want you to go!!” Helen & I tore up to fourth floor and looked out the end hall window - (Oh dear! there are 5 girls in here & we’re all talking at once! I’ll have to wait.) Wed. P.M. Mercy! everything’s so different. But I must continue my story and get this in the mail in a few minutes. When we got to the hall window in Strong we could see the flames from the back part of Main - about the Assembly Hall as nearly as we could figure. Engines came shrieking up and sirens blew till it was almost deafening. In less than no time all Arlington and the greater part of the population of Pokeepsie were forming a semi-circle around the north & back sides of Main. Helen and I went out too.It was very mild, and only a gentle breeze blowing - thank goodness! Everything was terribly slushy all around but no one seemed to notice how he was wading around. We watched from the north side for awhile then stood on the steps to the Infirmary. For awhhile we thought the men might just as well have been turning streams of kerosene on the flames for all the effect it had. We watched the roof of the Assembly Hall cave in and everyone stood there stricken when several of the firemen called: “Chief! Chief! man buried under there!” I don’t know what happened then, but we have heard since that about five men were carried away in ambulances. While watching from the infirmary Eleanor Emerson ([Marge’s?] sister) and one or two of her roommates who live on the fourth floor 2. far from the middle came over and this is what she had to say about it. She said that at a little while after five she was riding up in the elevator and called out: “4th” for the elevator boy to stop, but two men in the “L” said, “go on straight up to 5th, don’t stop!” Then she heard them say some more about where they had smelled smoke. A maid had told me before that when they were eating their dinner at 5 o’clock they smelled smoke & sent some men to find out the cause, but they didn’t see anything, so they concluded it must be from the funny smell they sometimes smelled from the burning of the coal. Then Eleanor went on to say that just as they were finishing their desert in the dining room the fire bell rang. (She and the girls in the back of the dining room didn’t hear it on account of all the noise from the girls talking.) But all the girls put up their hands (a sign for silence) and then they all rose in silence and started marching out of the dining room. The girls though it was just a fire drill, and those who hadn’t heard the bell expected to hear them start singing some national anthem to celebrate Lincoln’s Birthday (the only sign of recognition it might receive here!) But everyone calmly walked out and then began the fun. We tried to help the stream of girls carrying valuable books, papers, furniture, clothing - everything.They got ‘most everything out of the book store and treasury and doctor’s office and post office. The rooms of Strong were flooded with girls’ stuff and detectives and others went thru the girls’ rooms in the north transverse, throwing everything out the windows. They did them up in rugs and sheets and carted them to a distance. The gym was finally opened to drop things at Rocky. While the Infirm was filled to overflowing. Still the fire raged and the crowd was riveted to the sopr. There were two other fires in Po. we heard of & one of the firemen said, “Thank God, there comes engine no. _, now we can fight it!” The roof of Assembly Hall went first then [thru?] the fourth floor and then third. You could hear the dishes on the tables clatter as things fell in on them. Then back of the Assembly hall there are several turrets and lots of maids’ rooms and they all went. I don’t know whether they got much out of the grocery store or not but if they didn’t everything probably ruined with water, for all this morning they were still playing big streams and there was about two feet of water standing anywhere - where there was a floor left. 3. All the Main girls had to report to Strong to “sign up” and from there they were appointed to different rooms around campus for the night. Eleanor Emerson slept with Marge & we had another girl on our extra cot. We eat meals in relays & the poor maids are worked overtime. I never saw such efficiency tho! for when we returned from watching fire (we were sent home!) about 9 o’clock - here our extra cot had been made up with clean sheets all ready waiting. The maids did it, I suppose. And at the doors down stairs girls stood hearing everyone sign up whether or not every bit of bed space was being used in their room. - During the night, after we finally did get asleep a wind came up and being a bit excited anyway, we all thought how lucky it hadn’t come earlier - Still in our [semi?]-conscious state & mingled with terrifying dreams we had visions of the flames sweeping the whole building. This morning we had no first hour class but the whole college met in chapel. Prexy spoke to us for a few min. & told us that last night he was in N.Y. when someone telephoned him saying: “Main is in flames!” He took the train immediately and felt like pushing to get here, and said he heaved a sigh of relief when from the station the sky was not all lighted up. He congratulated us many times over & expressed his amazement (!) at our efficiency - said we had already done things when he thought of them. One [of] the faculty also gave us a little talk and told us some of the many funny - absolutely crazy - things that had happened. Then the Students Pres. gave out some instructions and we adjourned. I didn’t miss any classes as I didn’t have any until 4th hour - But of course no one had any work done. The post office is now in the gym! Main girls get their mail from Students` Building & the other girls have their mai come to their rooms. We’ll probably have guests for all night for a couple of nights longer, then they’ll ^let those living in the wings (which were untouched) go in. We were quite disappointed this morning to find no headlines in the N.Y. Times but it had gone to press too early. We heard that there was an extra in N.Y. saying: “Main Building of Vassar College swept by flames - 50 killed!” You can imagine the jam in Strong sending telegrams (That’s where the Messenger Room is now). Parents are pouring in, but they find all their children safe and sound. 2:; ."‘ 1 4. It was a beautiful sight and I wouldn’t have missed it for worlds. Since I have started this lengthy epistle, I have rec’d a big letter from you, Mother, and a nice big one from Daddy. I’ve taken so long and written so much. I don’t see how I can comment on everything now. There are so many funny things we’ve heard which keep coming to my mind to tell you, but I mustn’t take the time. I’m wondering if Chicago will take any notice of it in the papers. Soldiers with muskets patrolled the quadrangle a good part of the night & then - when we were trying to get to sleep we heard a bugle call repeated over & over again, so I suppose they were going then. We heard that all were searched before being allowed to leave the grounds & after a certain time in the morning they wouldn’t let any more on campus to see it, so that some girls off-campus had a hard time getting back. Mr Emerson is going to be in Po. for a few hours Friday & I’m almost as excited and glad as if he were my father. It’s funny, but for several days I’ve been pining for something exciting & different to happen! Believe me! we got it & it really is fun to have the regular routine so upset. The wires are all disconnected so the bells can’t be rung, so men have to ring the huge bell on top of Main to indicate the times for classes to begin &c. The heating system is affected somehow, so that certain buildings whose big [mains?] run thru Main will probably be heatless (Thank goodness for the mild weather!) The [mains?] are flooded. Which reminds me, the enclosed clipping is for Daddy; I meant to send it some time ago. I think he’ll see the significance. Also I’ve been noting the scarcity of fire hydrants around campus & I bet this would be a swell time for Daddy to do some business here. Also I’ve planned to spend spring vacation with Daddy in N.Y (he working [in?] a business trip). I need so many clothes I can’t get here - shoes especially. Please I need the toe-slip badly. Thank you both heaps again for the nice letters - yours was beautifully fat Mother - let them come as often as possible. I’ll answer them individually soon. Good-bye, dears & Happy Valentine’s Day [crossed out] [Th?]day - Love - Gert.

Show moreVassar College, Apr. 26, 1873 Dear Mother, I’m a pilgrim, and I’m a stranger, and can tarry but a few weeks in one room. Don’t you wish you could look in upon me in No. 82 this evening? I rather think you would exclaim at the size of our bedrooms, for it is so snugly arranged that in order to find room to sleep, we are obliged to hang our chairs on the walls and our clothes out the window. Now that perhaps is a slight exaggeration, but it is true that every time I enter the door I am afraid of bumping my nose against the wall on the other side of the room, and feel always inclined to seize my umbrella and punch a breathing hole somewhere. But I must begin straight and tell you all about it. I went to Miss Terry before vacation and asked her about a room, and said that if Miss Kellogg returned, perhaps she could give me a single room. On my return I again went to Miss Terry, and she said that the single room was filled, but that she would give me a double outside room on the ground floor, but I need not move until I was sure Miss Kellogg would come. Friday night the young lady arrived, so I came up to sleep in my new place, and today I have been moving and feel somewhat fatigued. I had to run around after Thomas most of the morning to get him to move my things. They came up just after dinner, and it took me most of the afternoon to dispose of them, for I tell you it required some planning to stow away ^my goods and worldly possessions in that room. Besides I had not unpacked my trunk since my arrival last Tuesday, and every thing had to be straightened and spring things brought out, and winter clothing put away. I will put up my furs as you said. I did not have time today. Will any thing harm my winter dresses if I lay them away in my trunks, and my cloaks too? I received your letter today, after one from Nellie addressed to Uncle Henry which he forwarded to me. She probably thinks I have not yet returned. I wrote her just a line after I came back, but she had not received it when she wrote. She seems to be getting along rather [slowly?]. I did not mean to give you the impression in my last letter that I was not having a pleasant time in Buffalo. It was not the most cheerful household I ever saw, but I had a good quiet time, and rested nicely. I never realized before how much good simply a change does. They all said I did them good, and that is enough to make one happy, is it not? One thing is queer about Buffalo - I never realize fully that I am having a good time until I leave. Aunt Anna writes that she and Uncle are coming East next week, and they are going to make me a call. Won’t it be delightful? You asked about my spring hat. I have concluded not to have any. I did not need one in B. as all the folks were wearing their winter clothing and I shall go into church but once more here, and my brown [hatband?] is just right for travelling and about [f?]ine, unless I got me a sundown for being on the water. Don’t you think it will do? It is such a bother to get a new one. But the bell has rung, so good night. I will tell you more about my new home tomorrow. Sunday. We had a very peculiar sermon this morning from a Prof. Richards. It consisted mostly of excuses for himself, and praises for Vassar College. I hate to be preached to as an institution. I want to be spoken two as if I belonged to the same race as other girls, as a christian, and not as a student. But my dear mother, do you fully realize that in all probability, nine weeks from today, I shall attend church with you? It seems hardly possible that my first year here is so nearly ended. That time will pass very quickly. But I must tell you a little about my present surroundings. It almost broke my heart to leave all the dear girls in no. 6[6?]. I had learned to love every one of them so dearly. I could not ask for pleasanter companions in any respect than mine have been since the beginning of the semester. I wish you could see them all - they are so lovely. They tell me that I must come to see them every day, and come right in without knocking just as if I belonged there, but when [any?] one is busy, we must stay in our own rooms where our books are, and see very little of others besides our parlor mates. I was down there a few moments this [morn?], but I had to run away because I felt so badly to think it was no longer my home. Perhaps it was too pleasant for me, and I needed a change. I shall soon feel at home here, I suppose, for all the girls are very pleasant. I don’t like the fourth floor very well. Miss Price and Miss Richmond occupy the double inside room. They are both Freshmen. Jeannie Price is our President, perhaps you remember, and ^both are among the brightest and sweetest girls in the college. They are both of them about seventeen. Mary Richmond is [Marie’s?] particular friend. There are two single rooms [to?] this parlor, Miss Markham, one of my class mates, occupying one, and Miss Smiley, a sister of my last corridor teacher, the other. My room mate is Miss Dale, from Missouri. I hear very little of her yet except that she is rather ancient, about twenty-four, I should think, is [poor?], and is a christian, a member of the Baptist church. She seems very pleasant, and we shall get along nicely, I think. She has a fashion of retiring early and rising about five o clock, for which she has permission from Dr. Avery, and I think it is very fortunate, for it would be next to impossible for both to dress or undress at the same time in that room. I wish I had some thing to [crossed out] measure it by. It is very much smaller than my [outside?] room in 54 - no larger than the single room which Miss [Maltby?] has been having. But one can stand most any thing for nine weeks with a prospect of home at the end. Miss Dale is not nearly as attractive or congenial as [Marie?], but I suppose it is good for me to have all kinds. I say suppose, I know it must be for my good, or I would not have been sent her, and I am ashamed of myself if I have mourned too much about leaving my nice pleasant room. I must to do good wherever I am, and perhaps I have a better chance here than in No. 6[5?] for who knows but what Miss Dale feels lonely and somewhat neglected, as she is older than the rest and came only last winter, and perhaps I can make life pleasanter for her. I don’t think, mother, that I am unhappy because of my change - The[n?] too, Marie and I have permission to study our Latin together, so I shall be with her every day. I forgot to say that Miss Goodsell is my corridor teacher, and she welcomed me very kindly. Will Lucy have time with her school duties and the children, to gather some of the “goslings” and send them to me in [cotton]? I should like some so much for the botany class if she finds time. Perhaps they are not out yet. Miss Kellogg brought some trailing azaleas from her home, and we have found about [here?] the bloodroots, hapaticas[sp: hepaticas], and what we used to call [crossed out: d] “Dutchman’s breeches.” I am much interested in mybotany, and am going to make an herbatorium. Mary Lyman and I are going to press our flowers together, as she has a nice little press. There is one thing I want to ask about before I forget. Are there any more of my pictures? Ever so many of the girls, at least, all in No. 60, and some of my best friends want them, and it would be very pleasant to exchange. Had I better have some taken here or wait till I reach home? No one seems to think my last ones very good. All our friends seems to be taken sick at the same time, don’t they? I must feel sometimes, as if I ought to be using some of my strength to help you and all the friends, and then again I believe my work [lies] well for the present, and I mean to do it with my might. As you say, “sorrow and trial are on every hand”, and I see it more and more of [...] as I grow older, but I see and feel more joy too, and Christ is more to me than he used to be, so I do not fear the sorrow. I think the joy of Christ is [striking?] despair into my heart, and filling it full. I wish I could help you with the children. You won’t get tired out, will you? Write whenyou can, just a line, but of course I don’t expect much when you are so busy, and have so many to write to. I fear I have not been as faithful as usual about my letters lately. Much love for Lucy and a kiss for Irene and Ethel. I had a letter from Lillie the other day, and her mother is growing stronger every day. This letter sounds selfish - all about myself. Goodnight, with much love, from your own Katharine. Please return Mary’s picture and tell me what you think of her.

Text: Vassar College, March 5, 1870. My dear Mother; I enclose a "Rembrandt" which I had taken last Saturday when I had to go down to a dentist. How do you like it? I ordered half a dozen, but if you think this good, I will send for six more; my parlormates all like them except Miss Cornell who thinks they do not look like me at all.

I ordered half a dozen, but if you think this good, I will send for six more; my parlormates all like them except Miss Cornell who thinks they do not look like me at all. My teeth troubled me so that it was necessary to have them filled; but the dentist did not have time to finish the work, and I must go down next Saturday; Annie wants to go also, and as I know the way perfectly, and as it is entirely proper for us to go alone, please send us permission to do so; there are always students going to town on Saturday, and it is entirely safe for us to go alone; but as we are under age, Miss Lyman will not let us go without your permission. We don't want either the bother or the expense of a teacher. Please send by mail, a copy of "Anthon's Cicero" which you will find, I think in my book-closet. Also a piece of black alpaca from my piece-bag, like my over-skirt; I want enough to face a placet-hole. The book is for Annie, and is wanted right-away. If convenient, I should like a check for twenty or thirty dollars, and I should also like to have father write to Dr. Wood to have a brace ready to be fitted to me when I go home; then I could come back a day or two in advance, and stop inNew York to have them put on. Is not my plan a good one? I must have a new brace in the Spring, for the one I am wearing is worn and soiled. I cannot write to the doctor myself, for I don’t ^know what arrangement father may make with him. Perhaps father will see the doctor sometime when he is in New York. I hear from Mary Sanford that the bride is, or has been at your house; and that Rufus has been down Annie Lord writes. How fortunate for me, that my friends tell me about the doings of my relations! We had a delightful lecture last night from Donald G. Mitchell (Ike Marvel) on the subject, "How to make Home beautiful." He threw out some very good hints, and all given in a charming style. He does not believe in "best rooms" shut up,nor in books locked in libraries. Are you all tired out with company? What are you going to do for a minister? Who plays the organ when Mary is sick? Please write me and answer all the questions the first of the week. Love to all, not forgetting the girls and Miss Doten. Your affectionate daughter, Mary.

Behold me once more at Vassar. Only a week ago my Auntie announced her liberal intention toward me, and in a very short time my trousseau was completed and I on my way. I have a pleasant room, with Miss Norris, whom I used to despise, for a roommate Miss Lacey & Miss Case are also with us, and Miss Guiillon, a new student from the Sandwich Islands. Miss Lyman received me very graciously and the girls were glad to see me.
