The vital purpose of education is the training

and energizing of the faculties of observa· . . \ tion and reason ; and the study of agri·

culture is quite as well adapted to

the attainment of that purpose as any other study whatsoever.

EDITORIALS.

THE comprehensive essays, for the first time in the history of the College, were handed in on time. The essays are written by the members of the sen­ior class, and are a part · of the course in English literature. These essays are placed on file, and show what each member of the ~lass has done, to any­one looking over his record.

~~

ALTHOUGH the number of societies and orga'nizations now at the College

require a large part of the students' time, there is one which has been ad­ded to the list that promises to be of great value to those interested in. the study of nature. The Nat ural History Society was organized with Professor Mayo as president, and Miss K. R. Yale as secretary. Mr. Mayo, our veterinary science instructor, gave a short talk on the object of the club. After the above officers were elected, Mr. R. D. Gil­bert read a paper on ''The Butcher Bird," and Prof. Ballou gave a short talk on ''How Animals Pass the Win­ter.'' The next meeting will be held soon after the spring vacation.

~~

WITH this issue of the LooKouT, we advance another step in its history. The growlh of the LooKOUT during the past year has been so rapid that it requires a larger amount of time to print the paper at the College than the students feel able t.o devote to it. On this ac­count we have secured the services of a regular printer, and we hope tuat our efforts '~ill make the labors of the in· coming board of editors lighter.

~~

ON another page of this paper will be found the address written by Mr. Francis. This address was selected from those given by the senior class in the winter term. Below are a few facts in relation to his early training.

Mr. Chal'les Stoddard Francis was born in Newington, Conn., Jan. 13, 18-77. He attended the public school of the town and graduated from the South School, Hartford, in 1892. Mr. Francis also attended the New· Britain High School for a year, and came to Storrs College in the fall of '93. Here he graduated from the short course In June, '95, and re-entered in 1897 to complete the full cou1·se.

Mr. Francis is a good half-back on foot-ball team, the lieutenant of the band, and holds 'important offices in his Literary Society.

COLLEGE NOTES.

REv. Mr. George, of Willimantic, de­livered a very interesting address on "Citizenship,'' in the College Chapel, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 22d.

The junior class held a class supper at the Cottage, Feb. 19, 1898. The sup ­per was followed by toasts, Mr. G. M. Greene acting as toast-master.

Mr. Lester C. Curtis, 1900, has re­turned to his home in Meriden.

Messrs. W. N. Hawley and G. M. Hawley and G. 1\tl. Greene visited the College Shakespearean Club atM. A. C., as delegates from the local C~ub.

At the last meeting of the Students' Organization the following business was transacted. A committee of seven was appointed to draw up a code of penalties to be inflicted for various of­fences. Also two men on each floor i~ the dormitories were elected to pre­serve quiet.

The r~ceptions for Feb~uary and :l\iarch were 'held in. the Cott~g-e on 1 he 25th an~. 4th of these months ' respect-

ively. Both receptions were well at­tended, a fact which attests the increas­ed interest being shown in social affairs.

·A Reading was 'given in the Chapel on the 15th of 'February by Professor Wheeler, and on l\Iarch 1st by Profes­sor Ballou. The former read selections from 'rhos. Nelson Page's "l\larse Chan" ~nd "Uncle Remus," and the latter from ''Bret Harte." Both evenings were well filled with interesting literature, of a kind calculated to inspire in the stu­dents a love for ·good .reading.

The "Comprehensive Essays" requir­de of each mem her of the senior class, on or before March 1st, were handed in on the night of that date,'at the "elev­enth hour.'' The waste manuscripts were then piled and burned before the main building, while the senior class gave its yell seYeral times, Rnd joined hands in a sort of Indian war dance about the conflagration.

A Natural History Society was or­ganized Friday evening, Feb. 26th, with Dr. N. S. Mayo as president, and MisR K. R. Yale, secretary. A committee of five were appointed to have charge of the club; the committee appointed are, Prof. Ballou, Mrs. Knapp, Miss Leach, Mr. Webb and 1\'Ir. Potter. The object of the Society is to study animal and plant life. At future meetings mem­bers will report on natural history stud­ies they have made of the various plants and animals and a collection will be made of natural history objects.

Pro~. H. A. lJallou and Miss Knapp, attended the Farmers' Institute held in Poquonock. Miss Knapp spoke on " jjoods"; Prof. Ballou, on'· The ''Gypsy Moth.''

A large number of people attended

the Memorial service held in the Second Cong. church of Mansfield, in honor of the late :Miss Francis Willard. The service was conducteti under the auspi­ces of the W. C. T. U., and in charge of the following: Mrs. Forbes, the State president; 1\Irs. B. F. Koons, president of the Mansfield W. C. T. U.; Prof. Peebles, Rev. Pike, Rev. Smith, of Spring Hill; and Rev. Raymond, of Gurleyville. l\irs. Forbes paid a touch­ing tribute to the deceased, related her biography and the events of the last moments of her life. Mrs. Hanks, Mrs. Conant, and Messrs. Wh€eler and Mans­field, 1!8ndered some of Miss Wi1lard's favorite hymns.

l\ir: L. F. Bancroft has accepted a position as manager of a dairy farm in Cartersville, Ga. He left Storrs Feb. 22d.

Mr. Wetmore, another dairy student, is intending to run a dairy farm in Win­chester, Conn. And Mr. Cook has se­cured a position in a creamery in the vi­cinity of Providence, H. I.

The fine weather of last week permit­ted a beginning to be made in the ex­tended order drill. This is the method of maneuvering largely employed in modern warfare.

Mr. L. T. Banks, of Monroe, has en­tered the Sophmore class.

:Miss A. Jacobson has been elected president of the 1900 class, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Emmons.

1\'Iiss B. A. Bowen, of Willimantic, spent Sunday with friends here.

The spring vacation begins March 25th and ends April 4th.

Miss Elizabeth Valentine; of Brook· lyn, N. Y., visited this place during the past week.

Instead of having the usual monthly reception next month in the Cottage, it is planned to have a ''white duck drill'' in the College Chapel.

The senior class have adopted as a class ring, one ~aving a large brown stone, with '98 inscribed thereon. It is made by Stephen Lane Folger, of New York City.

Orders for pictures of the military company may be given to J. W. Pincus.

In order to promote satisfaction a­mong the students in regard to table board, the trustees made the following arrangement. The president of the Col­lege shall appoint two members of the faculty, and the Students' Organization shall appoint two students, who shall confer with Miss Saxton, and arrange the bill-of-fare. The plan has been put into execution and is giving satisfaction.

The subjects of the senior addresses for the winter term, are as follows: 1\'Ir. Burgess, Rabies ; Mr. Chapman, Pound Fisheries; Mr. Francis, Robert L'ouis Stevenson After Short Acquaintance ; Mr. Garrigus, Farm and City; Mr. Gil. lettee, Ancient and l\Iodern ArmA; Mr. Hawley, Forestry; Mr. Kh·kpatrick, 'l1he Bicycle and its Development; Mr. Mans­field, Athletics ; Mr. Onthrup, Method of Obtaining Gold from the Sea; Mr. J.

STEVENSON AF"TER SHORT ACQUAINTANCE.

As SOME of you know, I have chosen as the subject of my comprehensive es­say, "The Life and Works of Robert Louis Stevenson."

That essay is simply to be wl'itten and not to be delivered; hence, so far as that essay is concerned, the student­body will be none the wiser, as to the personal traits and characteristics of this wonderful man, or as to what he can do fur one of his readers.

A complete biography of Stevenson has not as yet been written, but I have read such portions of his life as I could find in periodicals. And I have also read some of his \-Yorks.

My acquaintance with Stevenson has not been very long, but he has greatly interested me. And, therefore, I have chosen as the subject of my Rddress, "Stevenson After Short Acquaintance. ''

Immediately on going to the library, I found that Stevenson was a biogra­pher and a literary critic; that he was a writer of travels and of adventure, of poetry and of romance ; that he was an essayist and a dramatist-one of his plays having been acted with success­and that he was a novelist and a story­writer.

The evident diversity and versatility of his powers struck me ; and I turned to discover what his early life and train­ing haq been.

When young, it appears that he was given to idling and to running away from school, and, being of a roving dis­position, he was continually thrown in­to association with all classes of men. "In his last great 'tdventure, he left his native home for the South Sea islands

in search of health, and it is known that he died and was buried on the far-off island of Samoa.

Thus he became acquainted with life on both land and sea, at home and a­broau, and among all sorts and condi­tions of men.

There were in his immediate ancestry three generations of distinguished men, which may have meant as much to him as a liberal education would mean to some men.

He studied for a time at the Univer­sity of Edinburgh. He also studied law, and was admitted to the bar of Scotland.

But very early he discovered in him­self a taste for literature.

He always carried a note-book, and whenever he saw anything that inter­ested him, he jotted it down·; later he rewrote it, that its meaning might be more exact, and even analyzed each si~gle word to determine whether an­other might better express his thought. This shows us that he carefully criticis­ed his own work.

Thus the training that he got at school, that he came by naturally at home, and that he sought in adventure; together with his careful criticism of his own style, enable us in a measure, ~t least, to understand the diversity and versatility of his powers; and these facts, into the possession of which my short acquaintance has brought me, have greatly interested me. . .

But my acquaintance with Stevenson also has extended to his works, of which I have read, ''Kidnapped,'' "Treasure Island,'' ''David Balfour.,'' and "The Strange -Case -of Dr.- .Jekyll and Mr~ Hyde.''

· to get possesbion of his rightful estate; by his untiring efforts to secure justice for Alan llreck, and by the peculiarities of the old miser, Ebenezer llalfour.

Al1 these experiences I have had with Stevenson in "Kidnapped." And I find that my enthusiasm for this book iR \\7ell founded ; fnr critics place it on a level with Scott's works, both for the histm·i­cal material which it contains and for its delineation of Scottish character.

Stevenson appealed to my imagina­tion when I read ''The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and I am sorry to say that I fear he has taught me to imagine too much sometimes.

Being a lover of stories of adventure, Stevenson has helped me to pa!:is many a weary hour, t3specially in the reading of "Treasure Island." The scenes are very exciting, as, for instance, the al­most continual fight between the two sections ,of the "Hispaniola's" crew, and the final sailing away of one section, leaving the members of the other to their fate on that lone island.

EXTENSION DEPARTMENT.

THE second year of Extension work .has been directed largely to completing the details of the course, selecting text­books, and arranging for the supple­mentary course of subject studies. The number of those who are carrying the two years' · cot:<rse to a conclusion, is very gratifying. The prospect is that there will be fifty or more who will have completed the course by June, and it is hoped they will come to the first Com­mencement exercises of the Department.

Very little has been done towards in- · creasing the membership. It was thought best to carry through one class, the 'US year's; and then whEn .the two years were completed, it would be possi­ble to know something as to the strong­est and "eakest points, and then to 1·evise and enlarge the course to the best advantage. The cordial reception of the books used for the second year's studies, is hopeful. It was not possi­ble to keep the price of books down to

8 LOOKOUT

the low figure of the :first ~-~ar. The text-book on Hygiene and Physical Cult­ure costs $1.25. This ~s a large dis­count from the regular price, $1.75.

As indicating the reception given to this effort of the College, I give a few extracts from mem hers. Qf the class of '98: Mrs. E. D. Cl.~rk, lecturer of In­dian River Grange, Milford, says, "I have found Household Economics a most delightful book.'' Mrs. Ellen S. White, of Nbrth Granby: ''I have read Household Economics and Principles of Fruit Growing, but have hai no an­nouncement of other books in the course. I am ready for them."

1.\'Ir. W. 1.\'I. Shepardson, of the Mid­dlebury circle, under date of March 5th, encloses check for $36.90, with order for books to supply members of the class. Also an order for a complete set of books for the year, to go into the public library.

Pootatuck Grange, of Sandy Hook, has just ordered, through its lecturer, Rev. 0. 0. Wright, a complete set for entire course, to be placed in the Grange library.

The Department has thus far during the year sent out three hundred and seventy-five text-books.

During Oct. and Nov. MiAs Clark and Miss Blakeman, and Mr. Frisbie, pre­sented the work of the Department at several Granges near their homes. Good seed was planted that will result in a new crop of students in time.

Below is a complete list of books for · the second year's studies.

ACETYLENE GAS.

AcETYLENE gas is an ideal illuminant, being re~tful to the eye and having a pf netrating power unequalled, even by the arc lamp. The gas is produced by the action of water upon calcium carbide, and the price of the carbide is so low that about 1,000 ft. of gas can be pro­duced for 60 cents. Several machines have been invented for holding the gas, and it is now possible to buy one that removes most of t.he danger of accident · in generating of the gas. This machine may be placed in the cellar of a house, and the gas carried to every part of the building, thus giving to farm -houses in isolated communities one of the advant­ages of city life.
