THE
LAFAYETTE.
r n H E request of the studeuts of Harvard
[ for a cour-se in the study of oratory is
significant, for it indicates that the studentsof
eastern colleges ar beginning to see the
tendency of this practical education for which
men outside of college life ar clamoring, and
which such courses as the Pardee Scientific
Department ar acknowledged to giv. The
tendency is obviously toward utter indifference to the history and art of oratory, and
our energetic brethren in the western colleges ar rapidly striding to the front in this
branch of lerning. Even among the classicals of Lafayetle there is an indifference in
this direction which often renders the one
hour a week of elocution of far less benefit
than it is supposed and intended to giv.
Let us hope that wilh the onward progress
in athletics and the new library bilding in
prospect, we may likewise raise the standard
in this department.
S.UM dissatisfaction and uncertainty has
^ been causd among the students by the
facully failing to make public their action
concerning the granting of holidays after
petitions hav been handed in. When the
facully had decided to giv the students a
half holiday toattend the Nazareth fair no
public announcement was made of it ; as a
result a majority of them did not know
whether they had recitations or not that
afternoon. On Founders' Day no announcemenl was made in chapel at all as to where
and at what time the exercizes would be held.
On the Wednesday afler election it was not
announced whether the forenoon would be
givn as a holiday or not as the petition,
handed in, specified. It wonld be a great
convenience to know of these things a litl
in advance, and the matter coud redily be
attended to by a simpl announcement in
chapel.
vA LMOST all of us enjoy the advantage
of our reading room, and noihing is
more plezant than to spend an hour in reading the current news and perusing the periodicals we may find there. It is also convenient for many of us to do our studying
in that room, where we ar surrounded by so
many books of reference. Yet in the enjoyment of this advantage, sum of us ar apt
to forget the presence of others there for the
same purpose as ourselvs. Often, particularly when a number of students are present, much whispering and noise of a similar character is heard, which not only is
very annoying to those who ar reading, but
also detrimental to our own good name.
We do not believ this is done from malice,
but merely frotn a want of forethought. We
cannot but see when we view the matter
thoughtfully, that such action is unjust,
and Iherefore it is hoped it may be refraind
from in the future This simpl suggestion
ought to suffice.
n ^ H E students hav been calld upon this
j. term to consider several petitions to the
faculty for excused recitations. T h e members of the faculty hav been very reasonabl
and just and hav granted these petitions
when they coud wel do so. There is sum
danger of going a litl too far in this petition
business ; let us exercize due care that we
do not overstep the mark, and, in asking
too much, run the risk of .securing nothing.
The spirit in which these petitions ar past
around among the students is not always
conducive to kindly feeling.s. Those who
plan to circulate such a document must remember that there ar others who do not
share in their opinions, and who hav a perfect right, in the eyes of all reasonabl persons, to differ from thetn if they .see fiL
One student may fail lo see that the argument set forth in the petition is a reasonabl
one. No effort should be made to make
him sign that to which he is oppo.sed.
Neither should any caustic remarks be

made about those who fail to sign after the
petition has past along. It is a matter whicii
concerns each indi vici ual student and " foreign interference" in such matters borders
upon impertinence.
«J\ RICI'ORM is very greatly needed thru^'^ out the college in the matters of light
aud ventilation. One would think that in
an educational insiitiilion of this kind presided ovcr by a facully representing such a
wide range of subjects, these matters would
bc the first lo receive careful altention. And
they hav been in a few cases. But there ar
sum recitation rooms, for instance, where
toward the clo.se of a period a man wil hav to
gasp for a breth of fresh air. This is not
universally s o ; but it is so in a few cases.
For a cla.ss to be compelld to sit in a tightly
bilt room with all the windows clo.sed and
no venlilaling flues to get in their good
work is an injury to the cause of sound
hellli. It is not surprising that the members of the cla.ss frequently get dul and uninterested in the recitation or lecture. A
man can not keep his mental powers
activly engaged in an atmosfere of impure
air without an eflort ; and in the matter of
college recitation he is only too apt to fiiil
to make this effort in order to grasp the entire subject. That such things ar allowd
to exist even in a few of our lecture rooms
must merely be thru lack of thought on the
part of tho.se having charge of the departments. In several ca.ses this is very carefully lookt afler, and the result is cerlainly
well worth the effort put forth to secure it.
In the physical lecture room a cla.ss of fifty
men can sit for two hours without a sign of
that dull, stupid feeling which manifests
itself so soon in the stuffy atmosfere of sum
of our lecture rooms. The room is wel
ventilated ; there has been an application
made of scientific princij/ics and all vvho attend reap the benefit of the .same. In stil
63
other rooms the ventilation is accouiplisht
by ineans of the windows. But a few stil
get along without any sign of ventilation.
Il is reassuring to know that there is considerable diffusion takes place and that ihe
outer air wil work in despite the efforts of the
human race to flee its beneficent influence.
Sum few of the rooms hav a sealing arrangement whicll givs anything but comfort to the eyes. To sit facing the bright
flood of light from the windows may not
injure strong eyes, but it is an inconvenience whicll amounts in sum cases to pain
to those who ar suffering even slightly impaird visions. Our professors, however, ar
always considerate of those who ar thus
afflicted, and, in a way, the mistakes of
those who wer responsibl for the present arrangement of the rooras ar corrected.
These matters of light and ventilation ar
much neglected by the sludents them.selvs.
Many of the sleeping apartments and study
rooms ar allowd to go week afler week
wilhout once being thrown wide open lo let
the sweet air tpi these crisp auliiinn days
pass thru. 11 frequently happens that several studenls wil be engaged in study in the
rooms during the evening, wilh at least two
lanips burning, and, in winter time, wilh a
hot fire in the room,—all this without
a singl window open. The studies finisht,
the lights ar put out and the students retire.
T h e night's sleep is spent in this kind of
an atmosfere, fild as it is with the products
of combustion of lamps and human bodies,
and to a certain extent of the stove as well.
T h e matter of light in sum lecture rooms
can hardly be corrected till that distant time
wheu the college shal roll in welth, and all
needed im provements can be had for the
asking. But the pure sweet air for which
our locality is noted is as free as the sunshine
and can be had by merely applying that litl
element of human happiness—thoughtfulness.

T H E I ' l C T U K K S ON T H E W A L L .
MR. EDITOR :
It is to be hoped that those who hav the
power to select the umpire and referee in
foot ball games wil profit by the lesson
lernd at Philadelphia, and hereafter refuse
to accept a man for such a position who is a
player on the opposing eleven, even if he is
an ex-La.'ayelte man. Every one knows
how important il is to hav a person of unbiast
opinions for stich a responsibl position. It
is not the aim of the writer to take out the
spite the college men may hav against a
man, but, in all honesty, he must enter his
protest against such an infamous decision as
that renderd by Umpire Mackey in the recent Pennsylvania-Lafayette game. There
was absolutely no sign of holding in the
line at the time mentiond. If there was,
aud i\Ir. Mackey saw it so plainly, how
does il cum that he faild to see Capt. Schoff
catching our end-rush by the legs in order
to keep him from breaking up the interference? Whether Mr. Mackey especially desired to see his old college beaten or not
the fact remains that he did for sum reason,
greatly favor University of Pennsylvania. If
he coud not act squarely he ought in all honesty to himself and his A/ma Mater hav refused to act in the capacity in which he
servd. Lafayette sludents hav always taken
a great pride in the success of the trio at
University ofPennsylvania, but Mr. Mackey's stock is now away below par, and wil
doutless remain so. Of all despicable men,
a traitor is the worst. Mr. Mackey's ability
as an umpire is about in the same line as
his success as a base ball umpire. Both
hav been lately tested and both ar evidently
the product of a very much swelld head.
SPECTATOR.
There ar things about a s t u d e n t ' s room
That always catch the eye
Of the observant visitor.
Who chances to pass by ;
There arglitnpses thru the doorway.
That one may cle.irly see.
That .seem to tell the character
Of him who holds the key.
Hav you ever seen the pictures
As they hang upon thc wall.'
Ar they landscape views, or fotografs.
Or signs from auction stall ?
If you hav, now stranger, tell me.
Do you think that you could miss
In estimating character
From lill things like this ?
Ar they pictures of his luvd ones
Dwelling in his distant home
In busy town or cuntry place
Whence luvin.g missivs cum ?
Or is there in place of faces dear.
Or scenes from farm or town,
A decorated hijjh silk hat,
Or costume of a clown ?
The circus bill and stolen sign
That in sum room you'll liud.
May indicate the reckless youth
Of happy lucky mind.
The dressing gown or boxing glove.
Or fencing foil, maybe,
At once suggest the young athlete,
With manner light and free.
And then, again, the slothful man,
If you'll look in and see
Has naught of decoration
But a wTctched pot-pourri.
And so thruout the college,
Where'er your gaze may fall,
You'll recognize the student
By the pictures on his wall.
MI.SSIVS OF O T H E R D A Y S .
Your letters ar lying before me,
All soild and crumpldand torn,
Since I've read them over so oft you see,
They can't help looking forlorn.
THE L A F A Y E T T E .
And oft as I read them o'er
And think of thc tiines that ar past,
65
]^e\A)s |4ofes.
I wish that 'twere now as of yore,
And that time didn't fly .so fast.
And oh ! of what sweet recollections
T h a t almost had been forgot
How they then e.xprest our affections
But now ar a worthless lot.
In looking back ovcr these relics
T h e r e seem to have been no ills
T h e y ' r e all forgot by the h u n d r e d
'Tis only the good that fills.
I hav tried to look into the distance
And see what the future wil be
But, held as by potent resistance,
T h e future's refused e'en to me.
BEWARE.
Now cometh the a u t u m n d a y s so bright
W h e n the student bold, with hart as light
As the bird that wings ils way thru the air,
Goeth forth to call on the maiden fair.
She receivs him, ymiling with seeming joy.
And he smiles sweetly back at the maiden coy.
But the old man views the scene askene
And vowelh to m.ike that gay youlh dance.
With a roar that rivals a Cherokee shout
H e seizes the yuth and soon puts him out;
And the girl, hariless creature, laughs at his
plight
And says, " m y dear boy you ar clear out of
sight."

Kodafo.
One dark night lately as we wended our
way toward the dormitory bildings we past
the west end of Pardee Hall,
It was late,
very late, in fact.
Just as we got to the
bilding we saw a ghost-like object on the
ground where the large lump of coal formerly stood.
It lookt like a man, and he
sat there with his knees drawn up to his
chin, rocking himsclf to and fro and moaning. T h e cold chills playd leap frog on our
spinal column.
But he saw us and began
to run. This, of cour.se, encnraged us, and
we ran after him.
Getting pretty near we
poked him with our caiie (this is circumstantial evidence that the writer is not a
Freshman) but the cane went right thru.
Seizd with a desire to investigate this
stranger we persuaded him to tarry awhile
and in answer to our ernest inquiries, he
said ; " I am the shadow of Peter Katawinsky.
While in the flesh I mined coal for
sake of the operators and supported a wife
and six children on si.xty-.scven cents a day.
One day I succeeded in getting out a fine
specimen which was brought to the shaft
without breaking ; as they wer loading it
on the car it slipt and one corner maslit my
chest as flat as a flap-jack. My spirii stil
hung around that piece of coal, and when
it was shipt to Lafayette College I came
along to wach over it. Long years I wacht.
But last summer they sent sumbody here
67
with a sledge hammer, and he broke it up.
Thcy carted it away for fuel and last night
I .saw the remains of my big lump of coal,
for whicll I .sacrificed my life, go up the
chimney in the shape of smoke.
O, this
dredful combine that made the price of coal
go up ! But I've haunted the spot they
took it from, and uo grass has grown there
since that time."
It was a cold night and
when he stopt we took out our pipe ; this
was evidently more than he coud bear for
he gave an unerthly screech.
We jumpt
five feet from the ground in our fright and
then ran as fast as our enfeebld condition
(we had just heard the State College score)
would perrait.
*
We hav had our litl camera in good use
this term getting up a series of fotografs of
the fellows who run around with petitions.
What a crop of petitions to the faculty we
hav had of late ! P^very time we hear a

F O O T BALL.
O R A N G E A. A. VS. L A F A Y E T T E .
Orange Oval, Orange, N. J., Nov. 12, 1892.
Score, 0-30.
Lafayette anticipated a much closer game
than the score indicates when they buckt
up against the Orange A. A. This club has
downd Rutgers, Lehigh, Stevens and other
colleges this season. Our hevy line was loo
much for the Orange boys who coud not get
thru it, nor around the ends. On the other
hand, Lafayette had no trubl in making
fifteen and twenty yards at a time, while
twenty-five, thirty and forty yards at a time
was comnion. Very litl kicking was done.
Forty-five minute halvs wer to hav been
playd, but the last was cut down to twenty
in order to make the train, and dickerings
by the Orange men brought it down to about
ten minutes actual play. T h e big gards
and tackls wer used successfully in this game
at half. Lehner was injured iu bucking a V
and Jordan took his place.

UNIV. OF PENNA. VS. LAF.WETTE.
University Grounds, Philadelphia, Nov. i6, 1892.
Score, 10-4.
The second game wilh Univ. of Penna.
was a close one as regards the score. Without a dout the game would have been won
by Lafayetle had il not been for a rank decision by umpire Mackey. That self-important gentleman was selected because he
was an alumnus of Lafayeite and a member
of the Univ. of Penna. eleven, and was considered to be square Results showd that
his ability as a foot ball uinpire was about
on a par with his skil at umpiring base ball
games, eilher or both being rotten. With
Lafayetle within three yards of the goal
liue, on the first down, the umpire gave the
ball to University, because a visionary idea
enterd his head that Rowland was holding
his man. Il was only an excuse to save
Penna., but it workt. For the result of the
game the red aud blue can thank ^Ir.
Mackey.
Lafayetle fought hard the first half and
kept the ball in the territory of the red and
blue most of the lime. Penna. had the ball
ou the start-off They gaind eight yards in
the V, and Thayer buckt the line for ten in
two dashes. Thayer fumbld.
Rockwell
went thru the centre for ten yards and soon
afler made twenty more in the same way.
Penna. was givn the ball on a foul. Lafayetle kept the University back and Thayer
was forcd lo kick. Smith caught the ball
and gained five yards. Rockwell made
twenty yards around left end. Penna. got
the leather on the fourth down. Short runs
brought the lines up close to goal, and
Thayer, thru center, scord a tuchdown ; no
goal. Fenstermacher made thirty yards on
the start-off and Rockwell added five more.
After .short dashes by Smith and Rockwell,
Penna. got the ball on a fumbl but lost it 011
the fourth down.
Lafayette workt the
screw V and made twenty yards by its con-
stant use. University finally bankt its men

LIvHIGII VS. L A F A Y E T T E .
'Varsity (irounds, .South Bethlehem, Nov. 19, 1892.
Score, 15-6.
The second game with Lehigh was a
surprise lo the backers of the maroon and
white, but not t o t h e team, all of whom wer
aware of thcir weakness behind the line.
T h e day was a perfect one for foot ball and
the contest was witnest by a large nuniber
of peple, about half of whom wer Lafayette
sympathizers. Lafayeite was simply outplayd. This, combined wilh a streak of
luck, raisd Lehigh's score. T h e game was
a clean one thruout, personalities and slugging, two things wdiich aralwaysapt to crop
out in a Lehigh-Lafayette game, being
minus quantities. T h e report was vigorously circulated in Eastoii previous fo the
game that vengeance dire was to be taken
by the brown and white supporters upon two
or three of our players for a fancied part
they wer supposed to hav had in a litl unpleasantness which had occurd a l a previous
time. This proved to be unfounded. The
respectiv captains beanid mildly across the
lines of shaggy heads at each other and
made no attempt to scalp one another, and
thereby one of the standard features ofa
Lehigh-Lafayette foot ball game was not
shown. Rockwell was laid off as a result of
the Univ. of Penna. game and he was much
mist behind the line. For sum unexplaind
reason Lafayette's usually successful bucking the line faild ; the screw V did not work
as it had done and the interference was too
rotten to make any great gains around the
ends. Men in the line who had faced the
best in the cuntry let the Lehigh rushers
toss them around like chips, and the team
iu general playd in the poorest style it has
this season. Captain Voigt did all iu his
71
power to keep the team stedy, and besides
playd his usual brilliant game. Wilson, at
half, did the best work for the backs. Hart
and Gailey made good gains with the ball.
The ends did sum nice tackling, but in two
or three instances the interference was too
much for them to buck. However, Ordway's much vaunted n o yard run w a s a
clear steal, as the ball was taken from Robinson's hand, but not until he had calld
"down."
Lafajette won the to.ss and look the ball,
and made five yards on the start-off. Slight
gains by the backs ended in Lafayette losing
the ball on the fourth down. They got the
ball on Hutchin.sou's punt to center. Failing to gain vSmilh ])unl:ed, but the ball went
astray and Lehigh secured it on the fifty
yard line. Lehigh's backs got the sphere
close to the ten yard line, and Roderick
buckt the line for a tuchdown ; no goal.
Timc, thirteen minutes. Hart and Rowland made small gains afler the line-up, and
Lafayette lost the ball on a fumbl. Half an
hour of playing ensued, without either side
scoring, then Hutchin.son kickt a field goal.
Lafayetle .got thc ball on four downs, after
Lehigh put it in play in the second half,
only to go to Lehigh on the first play, owing
to Gailey being offside. .Hutchinson kickt.
Smith caught the ball. Lafayette began to
use the screw wedge. Then on the five
yard line came Ordway's run, mentiond
before, and the con.sequent tuchdown ; goal.
F'ensterniacher made twenty yards around
the end. Short dashes by Smith, Wilson
and Gailey brought the ball back to the five
yard line, and Lafayeite went over the line
iu the V, Smith carrying the ball ; Robinson kickt the goal. Time was called soon
afler, and the two teams wer swallowd up
in the mass of peple, many jubilant and with
stufft pocket-books, others dejected and
with only their railroad tickets in their
purees. So ended the second Lehigh-Lafay-

STATE COLLEGE V.S. LAFAYETTE.
Wilkes Barre, Nov 23, 1S92.
Score, iS-o.
The last game ofthe .season of '92 ended
rather disastrously for Lafayetle, especially
in view of the supposed standard of the Slate
College leam. Whatever may be the general impression in regard to the wearers of
the blue and white, there can be no dout
that the team is a very strong one, worthy
to represent a much larger iuslilution than
the one it does. The eleven shows good
team work, especially in interference, and
its backs ar abuv the average of those of
small colleges ; the three center mcu ofthe
line form the great strength ofthe forward.s.
Lafayette's backs faild to make any decided gains around the ends, owing to poor
interference, and they wer too lighl lobuck
the line to any extent. The screw V workt
for decided gains until sum onc lost the ball
in a scrimmage, and Voigt made one or two
nice runs with the ball. Lafayeite was
forced to play a defcnsiv game. Tayloi aud
Fay buckt our line almost at pleasure.
Rockwell was only able to play a few minutes, aud Smith was substituted. Hc made
sum good points. Wil.son was also laid off
before the close of the game, Fenstermacher
laking his place Lafayette's line playd a
listless game.
In fact, the game should
never hav been arranged, owing to the condilion of the men. Had the home team put
up the game it was playing until the last
Lchigh garae the result would hav been
different,—but we sliimpt and State won,
which tells the talc in a few words.
Lafayeite opend with the Harvard V for
leu yards, aud then lost the ball on four
down.s. Afler the ball had past back and
forward for twenty niinutes. Slate forced
Lafayette slowly down the field for a tuchdown and a goal.
In the second half, Lafayette got the ball
on a fumbl. The Harvard V faild to gain
and Carpenter lost the ball. Fay quickly
got it and scord a tuchdown ; goal. Towards
the clo.se of the half. Slate again scord. At
I no time did Lafayeite menace the goal liue.
For Slate, the half backs and Dowlcr, Reed
I aud Atherton, in the line did the best work.
I Lafayette's individual playiug was about on
; a par with the leuu work,—less said the
