�Adventures in
Evolution
Andre Barbera
Part I:

Judas Feeds the Dog
Toward the end of last semester, Professor Ray Coppinger, an
anthropologist from Hampshire
College, gave a Friday Night Lecture. Entitled The Domestication
of Evolution, the lecture concerned
the end of the Neolithic age and the
corresponding domestication of
animals. Professor Coppinger focused his attention on a Turkish
village that epitcrnized the final
stage of the Neolithic. The dcmestication of the dog corresp:&gt;nds with
the end of this age. Thus Profe.s.30r
Coppinger had much to say about
the status and function of cbgs in
this Tu.r:kish village as well as in
other, late Neolithic societies such
as Eskirro villages.
He observed
that the brain of the dog is twenty
percent srraller than that of the
cbg s ancestor, the wolf.
In this
regard, dogs behave like in:mature
and underdeveloped wolves.
The
nature dog is roughly equivalent
to an acblesoent wolf, and the qualities that we humans admire in dogsplayfulness, cuteness- are really
qualities of irrmature wolves.
Increasing the cuteness of
man s environment certainly was
not the original inpetus to dorresticate the wolf. Focd, clothing, and
work preceded cute. Professor Coppinger errphasized the value of
using cbgs for clothing, noting that

their fur i$ ten tiroos rrore durable, lasts ten times as long as
wolf fur. Of course, we d::n t eat or
wear dogs, and very few members of
Homo Sapiens in North ffinerica
rra.ke their dogs work.
Generally
speaking, we keep dogs because
they are cute and playful. They are
companions.
And, as Professor
Coppinger revealed, the dorresticatian of the dog has transfonned
the dog fran a source of food for
Homo sapiens to a carpetitor for
food.
'This last observation disturbed me.
For the remainder of
the lecture, I pondered the roles of
natural. and artificial selection,
and of breeding in the evolutionary sto.ry.
When I arrived home after the
lecture, the enerey- xoot me at the
cbor. Sle sat as I enterecl, tilted
her head slightly to the side, and
wagged her tail.
She exhibited
every aspect of cute and playful
that she was capable of, all of which
were met with newfound skepticism on my part.
She wanted to
play tug-of-war, she wanted pats,
she wanted to roll over and lick my
hands and face.
I turned on the
television and did ITT:! best to ignore her. My mind remained preoccupied with the role of corrpetition in evolution.
Iucy was the
same old Lucy, but I had been
changed.
later that night, during a
comnercial, I started to perfonn
my nightly dog duties.
These
nightly duties conclude with me
playing a trick on Lucy in order
to get her to sleep in the basarent.
I do this by preceding her downstairs into the utility roan, CXlnepicuoosly carrying a dog biscuit,
She follc-Ms me, and I place the
biscuit on her bed. While she is
eati.rq the dog biscuit, I close the

cbor to the utility room and go back

upstairs.
Things went according to routine until we both arrived at her
bed in the utility room. Iucy stared
at me, waiting for the d::ig- biscuit. I
stared at Iucy, then at the biscuit
in my hand, and then back at Lucy.
If Professor Coppinger wa.s correct, then I might be ab::iut to canrn.it some horrible crime.
I
shouldn t give the dog biscuit to
Iucy. I sh::iuld eat it, and Iucy too.
And then I should make gloves,
slippers, and a hat out of her fur.
rhich should I eat first, the cbg
biscuit or the dog?
How would I
kill Lucy? How would I prepare

her?
About twenty years ago, I went
fishing often.
I learned to clean
fish the hard way, hard on the fish,
by nutilating fish after fish until
I figured out where the edible parts
were, how to use the knife, and so
forth. Was that going to be Iucy s
fate: first in a series of increasingly less nutilated dog carcasses?
Actually, this fishing b.lsiness never panned out, and after a
ca.Jple of years I had to give it up.
Baiting the hook presented the first
sturrbling block. I negotiated that
obstacle after one outing. '.llle next
stumbling block was rerroving the
hook fran the fish• s m::ut.h, or throat,
or stooach. Altho\J9h m:&gt;re rep.llsive
than irrpaling worms and min.nows, I
hurdled that obstacle too without
nuch trouble.
Learning to clean
(nutilate) fish that I had caught took
longer, but eventually I becane
sufficiently adept with a knife to
salvage some edible portions from
the fish. Right frcm the be.ginning, I
enjoyed catching the fish reeling it
in, and after learrring to clean the
catch, I enjoyed cooking and ea.ting

The buzz of the fridge drowns out my thoughts.

My head was abuzz with dogs,

Perhaps
one should proceed gradually,
combining education with action.
A srrall first step that Friday evening might consist of sharing the
dog biscuit with Lucy: half for her
and half for me. As nights went by,
she would receive progressively
srraller portions of the dog biscuit . I wculd also start volunteering to feed supper to the cbg. Heh,

'l'hese portions would start

I had not worked out the transition from sirrply withholding

The problems of preparing my
family to take the offensive against

seemed insurmountable.
Deprogramming would be a long
and difficult task. First, I might
enlist the aid of my daughter. Being
the youngest and least set in her

convert. My teenage sons would be

Only, in hopes that it would divert their attention from our emaciated dog. My wife, unfortunately,
might be beyond salvation. After
all, she has never known the truth
about dorresticated pets. Maybe I
could stick Lucy on a high shelf
where my wife couldn't reach her.
The gurgling of the drain, having become noticeably louder, distracted me again. Then it dawned

Why Sophomores
Hate Ptolemy
Keith Forrest
All men are by nature
unPtolemaic. A sign of this is
the Sophomores• waitings M
they beat their Ptolemy texts
against their noggins. They
take part in beating themselves
not for the sake of pain but
because of a man who wrote
an imperfect book on things
which were philosophize.d to
be perfect but which in actuality aren't perfect at all.
All animals, except SJC
Sophomores, live a life apathetic to Ptolemy; thus they do
not directly participate in Ptolemy bashing. If I put my
Ptolemy book in the lawn on

front campus, do any of the

squirrels (and first semeste;

only incidentally take part in

Why could it be that men

Could it be because ofan those

Uses of Food by
Homer
Linda Rawlings
Food fills the pages of the
and the Odyssey--.its
gathering, preparation, and
consumption. Why does Homer
emphasize it so? He knew that
the good storyteller entertains
and persuades best by example
and illustration with which an
audience can identify, such as
focxi, which is, next to air and
water, rrost basic to survival.
Since all i;:eople rrust eat to live,
how indi victuals and groups use
food intrigues an audience and
creates understanding of the
nature of Homer's characters and
their relationships through
irentification.
In Achaian Greece-as Homer
presents it to us--at the tirre of
the Trojan War, the citizenry of
the kingdoms of Achaia either
herded animals from which they
gleaned hair, hide, and flesh or
they sowed, tended, and reaped
crops for fiber, cloth, and produce. If they weren't so occupied, they had charge of those
who were.
They also raided
neighboring kingdoms from time
to time to plunder the fruits of
someone else's labor.
Under
these conditions, the Greeks tuilt

of food correlating with what
they observed to be its

is somehow embodied in form (aoµa), that
by ingesting the substance of another one might also
ingest something of its nature, its soul. Then a man
who shares his food with others shares both his
means of physical life and his essence.
In Homer's epic poems instances abound of the
sharing of food. After major battles in the Iliad and
after Patroklos' death, the survivors feast together.
To signify hisrespectforPriam's suitto bring Hector's
body home to Troy, Achilleus prepares a feast even
though he has apparently just finished eating his
evening meal before Priam's arrival. Part of the
funeral ceremonies for Hector will be feasting. In
most instances the men give the gods a share of the
food first and share the remainder among themselves. Thus, after death occurs, they honor
immortality first and then mortal life and their being
alive together by sharing in common not only the
form and spirit of what they eat but their own essence.
In situations where someone gives food to another
(rather than an exchange occurring) the giver by his
manner of giving reveals something about the kind of
person he is, and the receiver by his attitude toward
the gift and the giver expresses the quality of his
---~ ~irlg. The -unforgivable behavior of Penelope's
~uitors in the Odyssey is not their continued presence
m the home of Odysseus and Penelope, nor is it their
constant consumption of food and drink there. It
seems accepted that they have come there to court
Penelope; and, as hosts of good character do, Penelope
and Telemachos tend to the needs and comforts of
their guests. The crime of the suitors is that they
. accept without grace the hospitality and benefits they
garner from Odysseus, household. Even as they eat
and drink, they absorb the good nature of their hosts.
In return they proffer base behavior and bad
temperament.
This justifies Odysseus and

&lt;crmxrt)

Telemachos' slaughter of the suitors upon Odysseus'
return even as yet another feast is in progress; at least
it did for Homer.
In the prior instances, Homer told of food--and
thus physical sustenance and essence--shared with
other mortals, and of how the Greeks and Trojans
honored human life and shared it through communion
of food and soul. For contrast, consider Polyphemus,
the cyclops, who eats Odysseus' men without a
thought, as we would eat chickens. Why should
Polyphemus behave ceremoniously or have
compunctionregardinghumanlife? When thecyclops
ate a man he consumed dinner, not a kindred soul.
Another nonhuman, the sorceress and goddess
Circe, transforms men into pigs. With a sweet,
fermented potion she reduces them to livestock.
About doing this she has no qualms. When, with
Hermes' help (wit and guile), Odysseus himself
avoids the transformation and, indeed, beguiles Circe,
Homer illustrates the quality of Odysseus' irreducible manhood, the intelligence, that which separates
men by nature from all other animals, which is ever
foremost in Odysseus and always controls his
passions.
_ _ That food of a certain source, kind, quantity, and
quality is or is not shared willingly or grudgingly, by
coercion or subversion, by two, few or many people
acting together or disparately tells us much about
them as individuals and in interaction. By illustrating
things his characters did and said as their natures
bade them do concerning food, he led his audience to
deduce for themselves the nature of each character
and thus to actively participate in the storytelling
process. The audience not only became persuaded
into sharing Homer's vision of Ancient Greece but
was doubly entertained, not only by Homer but by
themselves as well.

�Why I am More Beautiful than Jeri Hall:
A Response to Aristotle's Ethics

c

·ro

b.O
(I)

Jo-Ann L. Melton
... Magnanimity is found in
greatness, just as beauty is
found in a large body, and
small people can be attractive
and well-proportioned, but
not beautiful.
Aristotle, Ethics N 123b7

So says Aristotle. Magnanimity and other
virtues of the soul may be found in great deeds
and actions, but the same is not necessarily so
for virtues of the physical state.
One can conceive of virtues of the soul
being "larger than life," for they must encompass what is good for the person possessing
the virtue. What is more, virtues of the soul
must encompass what is considered good by
others in the community as well as the culture
as a whole by which the virtuous person is
being judged. Though these virtues must be
great, even Aristotle himself admits that one
can attempt to be too great, to the point where
one becomes excessive and vulgar in one's attempts to display virtue. Clearly, this is Aristotle himself refuting the notion that beauty
can only be found in large bodies.
The deficiency of this state
(magnanimity) is called niggardliness. The excess is called
vulgarity, poor taste and such
things. These are excesses not
because they spend an excessively great amount on the right
things, but because they show
off in the wrong circumstances
and in the wrong way.
Book N 1122a, 30-35

This passage in itself shows that the excessively large cannot be beautiful. Take for
example the case of the professional bodybuilder. Certainly we can agree that this is a
large body. Ifthe strength and bulk were used
not only for show, but in displays of athletic
prowess or in war, we could consider this to be
a beautiful body. However, since the body is
being used only as an object of admiration by
others, it is clearly showing off in the wrong
circumstances and in the wrong way.
For the same reasons, cosmetic surgery
which usually enhances or enlarges the body,
is clearly another example of vulgar exhibition. Through countless other examples with
which the reader is faced on a daily basis, it is
obvious that the large body is not able to
possess true beauty. Now to show that only

The Role of Probability in Science Homework
Tricia Walker
If your tutor were to announce that she would be choosing one student at random to read his or her paragraph
aloud, there would be a certain probability that she might
choose you. According to the college catalog there is a
one in eight chance that she would call on you. However
the registrar's office could look up your class list and say
that for your particular lab class it is closer to one in fifteen
or so. Which is of course much nicer indeed, but you must
also take into account that it is a 9AM long lab and people
may in fact be absent(!). You should also understand that
when tutors say random what they really mean is the quiet
people, which unfortunately reduces the pool to four or five
- one or more of whom will undoubtably be absent. This
then is probability, a beast which can be refined and refined
as our knowledge of the situation increases and still offer
no guarantee, just some good reasons to have something
ready to be read.
Post Scriptum: Our lab assignment was to write a paragraph about the role of probability in science. Mrs. Higuera
did in fact call on me, surprise!

Now the good news. The currently preferred method of fertilizing eggs is analogous
to saturation bombing. Even in this regard,
however, the treasure hunt may not take place
exactly as we had thought. For instance,
sperm exhibit less of an "egg, any egg, I gotta
have an egg" characteristic than previously
thought. Sperm, it turns out, are rather demure. On the other hand, the egg is not as
passive as hitherto_ imagined. Apparently the
mature egg can do things to attract the sperm
(perfume?), and actually ensnares the little

Points vs. Parts in Physical P~:
A view on Zalo's ''bisection" paradox.

So take an object of any divisible size you please,
say one one-thousandth of the line AB. Therefore, by
the time the object (for convenience, let it be called
C) reaches the middle, it will have passed through
500 equal parts. Next, it must pass through half that,
soi twill then have passed through 7 50 parts. Again,
it passes through half way between part7 50 and l 000
and therefore goes through 87 5 parts. Take the half
again and it will pass through 937 .5 parts. Thus at
this "now" it is between part 937 and part 938. Yet,
Cis itself equal to one part, so that it overlaps one half
of part 937 and one half of part 938. One more
halving, and our C will have passed through 968. 7 5
parts. To see what is happening more clearly, let us
refer to the following obviously partial chart:

�only speak of C as "at" or "in" any particular place if we look at the object when
· it is in that particular "now." As Bergson
puts it, "rests placed beside rests will
never be equivalent to a movement" He
posits that the solution lies in giving up
"the cinematographical habits of our intellect." We should not see it as "here
now" and another "here" in another
"now," but as it actually is- moving
from one "here" (A) to its final "here"
(B). Any place in between cannot be
treated as a "here" because in so doing,
our minds treat it as a stop. Yet our minds
also know that from A to Bis a continuous motion, and halfway there is just as
continuous as the second half. Ifit was no
problem for Zeno to allow for C to pass
from point A to the midpoint (or rather,
because C is larger than a point, from
"cen~red on" A to "centered on" the
midpoint), then can Zeno say that C cannot continue on in the same uninterrupted
manner from the midpoint to point B?
Surely l.eno would not dare deny that C,

in getting from A to the midpoint first had
to pass through the midpoint between A
and the midpoint of AB, etc, in the same
way ... Hence Bergson's calling this paradox a "law arbitrarily chosen."
We must therefore look at the bisection paradox from a more prar.tical viewpoint First, we know that we are given a
finite length and a finite object traversing
this length in a finite time. Make C as big
oras small as you like-as long as it is not
a point it will eventually reach the end of
the line and have gone through all possible midpoints. This is possible because
the object C does not take each midpoim
one by one, but at each moment in time is
covering an infinite amount of points, including all possible midpoints near the
end.
So we see that any object C does not
traverse any line AB one point at a time,
or even one half-way point at a time, but
rather one part at a time. The size of the
part which C travels in is a unit of length
equal to the base length of C- e.g., if C

is one inch long, each unit of movement
is one inch and covers all points under
each inch it moves. If AB is one foot, C
will traverse it in 12 equal parts- after 6
parts C will have covered one half the
distance and after completing the 12th
part, C will both reach B and cover all the
[mid]points from the end of the 11th part
to the end of the 12th part
And so it is a fallacy not to see C
moving from A to Bas one continuous,
uninterrupted movement. The object C
passes through an infinite amount ofpoints
in a finite amount of time simply because
C is physically able to pass through (or
"over" even) "all'' the points in each
section that it covers at each consecutive
moment. Thus, if C is a shoe a foot long,
it will cover all possible points contained
within each foot of distance it covers. It
is the property of all physical objects to be
unable to take one point at a time, and it
is this property which is the paradox's
solving grace.

Once upon a time there was a housewife but
she left her house and her housework and her housecoat and she went to the mall. She stayed in the mall

or the mall music or the gurgling or the fountain.
Until at last as the ninth hour drew to a close mall
security came and asked her if she was okay because
the guy had noticed that she had been sitting there all
day and the mall would be closing soon so fie wanted
to know if she had somewhere to go. She said, "thank
you for your concern, I am a housewife so I do have
somewliere to go, I have a house to go to." And she
stood up and opened her_purse and t!Pped it to one end
and shook it so that all tlie change floating around in
it fell to one end and she scooped out all the coins and
flung them into the fountain, unfortunatelx her car
keys got mixed up with the change and the drama of
the gesture was lost as the guard nad to wade into the
fountain to get them out again. Then she left the mall.
When she got home the house was almost
exactly the way she left it but the TV was on and her
family was watching it. They did not ask her where
she had been or what was for dinner, they hardly even
blinked. She went to the kitchen and waited for them
to go to bed. She did not wash the dishes or load the
dishwasher.
As the mooq rose higher and h!gher the lights

m the house were silently turned off. The housewife
assembled her disciples rn the kitchen. She arran_ged ·

facing them all.
"My disciples "she said, "my friends, I touch
many of you more often than I touch my husband. I
lovingly bandage you with duct tape, we watch the
soaps together and share our fears, and yet, who are
you"? I am a housewife and you are not the house I am
supposed to clean nor are you the family I am
supposed to be cleaning it for. You are only the tools
that are supposed to make my job easier. Is a sage a
sage for the sake of his people, for the sake of
w1sdom, or for his own sake l5ecause he knows no
other way -- prefers no other life? A sage cannot

learn for the sake of his students, just like a housewife
cannot clean so that her appliances have something to
do. We have grown too close, I must deny you now
andrepledge myself to the house and its inhabitants."
"But perhaps,'' she added, seeing their forlornness, "we can meet like this again, on our own
time and talk." The disciples were very sad, they had
enjoyed being treated like friends but the housewife
was nght; they were really her footmen and the house
should always come first. The refrigerator began to
drip and the housewife put her appliances away. On
her way to bed she touched the bannister not as the
piece of oak she polished each week but as a beautifully burnished piece of oak that it was an honor and
thrill to serve. She even stopped to tuck in the
children; she tried to see them as noble little creatures
it would also be an honor to serve but she only saw
threats to her house and her gleaming bannister.
The sudden desire to suffocate them with their
fluffy down pillows was frightening; she stood up
very straight and looked around for help but she
knew the mall was closed. She ran down the stairs,
ashamed to touch the bannister, and grabbing a bottle
of vodka, she locked herself m the closet with the
vacuum cleaner. She sat on it with her legs around
the handle and her cheek against the ba_g, tney whispered to each other all nignt and she dicfn 't come out

�An Abode of Bliss:
PJumtree's Potted Meat in James
Joyce's Wysses.

by Andrew Smith.
In his biography of Joyce,
Richard Ellman tells how Joyce once
asked a friend rhetorically how it is
possible to incorporate techniques of
musical composition, such as chords
and motifs, into literature. He then
answered his own question:" A man
might eat kidneys in one chapter,
suffer from a kidney disease in another, and one of his friends could be
kickedinthekidneysinanotherchapter." (p. 450) (The kidney is indeed a
very prominent organ in Wysses.)
Many of the motifs that recur during
the day are musical ('The Croppy
Boy," "Love's Old Sweet Song,"
"Those Lovely Seaside Girls"), and
they acquire resonance and meaning
from their context in much the same
way a chord or harmony does in a
piece of music. The symbols Joyce
uses are not standard ones; their
meaning is determined gradually,
and they eventually provide their O\vn
commentary on the book's events. A
single reader could not read Wysses
following the progress of all these
motifs; on a firstreadingone is, rather,
struck by a few which one then follows through the text, much as one
would usually listen intently to only
a few instruments during the course
of a symphony. One such signpost
that guides us through and comments
on Leopold BJoom's day is a humble
advertisement for a processed meat
product.

We have only recently met
Bloom when he first reads the advertisement for Plumtree's Potted Meat
in the Freeman's Journal. In5:144-48:
"What is home without/Plumtree's
Potted Meat? /Incomplete./Withitan
abode of bliss." Why does Bloom
evennoticethisad? Wealreadyknow
that he is a great eater of the inner
organs of beasts and fowl, a great
meateater. WewilJ soon discover his
occupation as an advertising canvasser for the Freeman's Journal. Leopold Bloom, a scientific personality
with a touch of the artist about him, is
a man of many ways, a deviser of artifices and stratagems. Most of these
are concerned with increasing his
material wealth, and at least one is an
advertising scheme. He figures that
it would sell writing equipment if
two smartly dressed young women
were to be driven around Dublin in a
carraige, writing. He is notimpressed
with whoever has placed Plumtree's
ad right under the obituaries (He is
naturally interested in the obituaries,
about to attend a funeral in the next
chapter). But this comes later. In
episode 5, the jingle passes by without herald, idly read, as Bloom is
more engaged in disengaging himself from M'Coy, whom he is not
interested in speaking with.
Thep1umtree begins to gather
symbolic weight in episode 7, with
Bloom off the scene. This being an
episode of windy rhetoric, Stephen
Dedalus alludes to the plumtree in
his Pisgah Sight of Palestine, or, Parable
of the Plums. Here Stephen tells the
story of two old Dublin biddies, vestal virgins, who are seen ascending
Nelson's pillar (with great huffings
and puffings), eating plums at the

top, and casting the pits down onto
the concrete. One is reminded of Jesus' parable in which some seeds are
sown in fertile soil, and some on rocky
ground, to be carried off by the birds.
These women are a conunon symbol
of an Ireland where the men are
drunks and women must take care of
the affairs of the house. They are
postmenopausal, and their infertility
is echoed and emphasized by the stark
cement where their seeds fall. This
story is introduced after an episode
in which Dublin is presented as a city
of statues, a city of the dead. Nelson's
pillar becomes a great stone plum.tree
that can bear no fruit, in a Dublin
where nothing can grow, presided
over by two barren harpies. Pisgah
being the mountain from which
Moses saw the promised land but
was told by God that he would never
live there, an air of futility and helplessness pervades the tale. These are
feelings which will prove pivotal in
rousil)g our modem Ulysses to act to
set his house aright.
One would expect the potted
meat to make an appearance in the
chapter in which the primary Homeric correspondences are the manea ting Laestrygonians, and one is not
disappointed. Here at lunch Bloom
recalls the ad, and critiques: "What a
stupid ad! Under the obituary notices they stuck it. AU up a plumtree.
Dignam's potted meat." (8:743-45) A
note tells us that" All up a plum tree"
is slang for "cornered, done for; or,
trapped in an unwanted pregnancy."
Bloom goes on to speculate about the
unsavory ingredients of Plumtree's
product. Thinking musica Hy, we have
reached a point of ambiguity that
calls for resolution. The potted meat

Manifesto
Nathan Humphrey
Stop. This poetry makes
me dizzy and my eyes numb.
This play on words, insipid
sounds, and when you're all
finished, it's no better than the
babblings of a child. And yet
the strange noises sometimes
draw me c1oser, and I am forced,
it seems, to suckle the unapologetic wine from the muse' s
IJreast.
I really must stop doing
this. Every day I get up, finding
myself incarnate once again in
that naked stranger I see peering shrilly back at me from the
bathroom mirror. But what else
should I expect? And when I
return again, robed and wet with
lukewarm tea and thoughts of
sojourning with a distant, dark
and as yet unknown people, I sit
and try for one more bour to say
something erudite.
But often it turns out

I used to have a dandilion
patch in my front yard and I
would sit there and ponder the
ants as they crawled about my
bare knees. I remember once
plucking one of those yellow

milk from out its stem.

"You '11 think I just had a dream
or that I was playing around with
acid or pot or that it was just t11e
beer, but what happened was real,
and it isn't over.
"Twice now, once yesterday
and once today, I passed the gate,
once when I went downtown to
try to get things off my mind at a
movie-that was yesterday-only
I never got there because on the
way I passed the Kimmell Warehouse and where bricks should
have been the door was there. And
when I woke up this morning there
it was where our closet door should
have been. It's still there. Go ahead
and look, Chris, and tell me you
see it, too." He beckoned toward
the bedroom door.
"What door are you talking
about? That room looks as messy
as it does every morning," I said,
"and the door on the closet hasn't
changed." I didn't bother to look.
"Just explain to me about gardens
and snakebite scars and doors."
Running his fingers through
his uncombed hair, Cal began to
speak. He paced the room as he
spoke.
"If I live another hour I can't
explain why or how that door is in
our room or why I still have on
yesterday's clothes so I don't have
to use the closet or how I have a
snakebite scars on my ankle that
weren't there till last Saturday, or
why I get up and sit in this room all
night after you and Mark go to
sleep. Nothing I say will help you
or anyone understand what the
garden means or the man who led
me there, the man who is waiting
for me now if I open the door

room and saw the ordinary
closet door and unmade beds.
By now I had grown not a little
worried about Cal's state of
mind. I snapped at him,
"Buddy, the door is just what
it's always been, and if you
think different you need a
doctor or a shrink. Go ahead
and spill your beans at me,
okay? But then I think you
need some outside he1p."
"Just listen, that's all."
Now, Cal is what some call
a dreamer. Sometimes he fancies himself a poet and holds
himself too much aloof for a
guy who sells shoes at night
and goes to Blair Junior College on a veterans' preference
plan. But, as I said, mostly he
seems pretty nonnal, or did.
Besides, we had lived together
for the better part of the school
year, so I sat back like the
friend I should be and listened.
"After I left Mark and you
at the lake," he said over coffee grown cold, "which really
was because of my aching
head, I looked for a place to
get out of the sun. I was headed
for a patch of trees to lie down
in the shade for awhile when I
passed an old wall that appeared to surround the old
Killsey Estate, the one they
tore down recently. There was
a big, heavy door in it with
whitewash wearing off of it. A
man was standing by the door,
and as I passed him his hand
went up as if asking me to
stop. He wore a white robe
made of rough, wooly-looking material, like a monk's, a

I sucked the air in agony and choked on

The stranger strode behind me. Slaughter
lay behind me and doom ahead.
..Then a miracle! There stood the door,
bolted on this side when surely we had
left it standing open, but what did that
matter? Just as he reached for me I threw
the bolt open, hurtled through, and
dropped panting in the field where I had
first met him. I was outside the door in
daylight again. The door closed slowly.
He did not follow.
"It was no dream, no hallucination.
And when I go in our room the door is
there, and he is waiting behind it to beckon
me inside again."
In silence I stare.d at the cracks in an old

be too late. I won't go through that damned
door again no matter what I have to do to
stop myself. The face that made me run in

"What can I do?"
He sank into his chair and I Jeft him.
Tacitly he let me go.
When I returne.d to the apartment Mark
had left a note that he was at the hospital
and I should come ASAP; that Cal had
shot himself and might not live.

As I read Mark's note before coming
here, rain had just begun to fall, so I went
to the bedroom to get my overcoat from
the closet. When I reached for the doorknob my fingers gripped a tough, weatherworn surface where smooth brass should
have been. It was Cal's big whitewashed

to stop until I saw the front entrance of the
hospital, a two-mile sprint in the dismal
rain. In the lobby I spent twenty minutes
and two cigarettes getting calm enough to
go to the waiting room to sit with his
family and Mark until Cal met his fate.
Down the hall from us where the swinging doors leading to the operating room
should be I can see that curse.d whitewashed door. Cal is going back to the
garden after all, as I will go soon. Because
he told his story he has doomed me. But,

First Article
WHETHER LIGHT, LIKE GOD, IS
INCORPOREAL?
We proceed thus to the First Ar-

ticle:Objection 1. It seems that light is
not, like God, incorporeal, for God is not
seen, but light is seen, and is something
physical. But nothing which is physical
is without body, for this would contradict
what is meant by physical.
Obj. 2. Further, even if light is
not a body itself, it must be the effect of a
body, and thus since that body exists,
light may properly be said to be corporeal, or at least depend upon corporeal
things for its existence.
On the contrary, light is incorporeal, for light can shine in a vacuum,
which is for all practical purposes devoid
of all body. Therefore light must be
without body for it to exist in vacuo.
I answer that, Either light is in3

corporeal or our common conception of
body is too strict. Now the two current
theories concerning light are that it is
either a body consisting of infinitesimal
particles, as the Englishman attests, or it
is the effect, such as a wave upon a subtle
body, which body is called by the Dutchman JEther. For as can be clearly seen,
light can penetrate such bodies as glass,
water, and other transparent bodies. According to the

be demonstrated as common to any other
body without the effects on the
penetrated being clearly known. Yet the
theory is such that neither the particles of
light nor the interstices can be affirmed
by
and thus we remain in
doubt concerning this theory. The other
theory, propounded by the Dutchman and
Others, is that the body of glass must
allow of the same sort of effect, or vibration, throughout it as occurs in the JEther.
Yet the experiments conducted with light
in vacuo show that this JEther, if it exists,
must be so subtle as to resist being evacuated by the force of the vacuum, or that
the vacuum is not thorough enough to
evacuate all of the known bodies. But if
we assume that the vacuum created in the
laboratory is strong enough to evacuate
all known bodies from it, and there is
nothing to prevent us from making such
an assumption, difficulties arise. For the
presence of 1Ether is only attested to by
the presence oflight in a vacuum. But the
existence of JEther is undetectable and
thus has a characteristic uncommon to all
other bodies. For bodies, being substances and consisting of matter, are detectable, but the matter which is thought
to be JEther is through all tests thus far
undetectable. And so we see that this
theory, too, is unprovable by experimentation, and remains in doubt.

reasons stated above be proved to be a

Queen of Sheba came to my tower, but since I renounced the tack with
which we hang up the calendar, I'll plummet chaste like Daniel's pals

but rather the molested shiners, the poster-children of contemporary
Caligulas). Andif she condones Pappa of Solomon, Waco-Cyrus (who
claims to be my father), she'll be Dewey Delled by fine lightning. But
she's cool.
We have narrowed down our enigma and isolated one objective: The embryonic ascetic who attends small colleges attempts to
elucidate the recondite (but actually very simple) in order to solve the
(you see, he likes innocence but all he sees is debasement,) following
problem:

Jeff Berger
First, the dolorously forced aphorism upon which this story is based:
the elements of the precocity are incendiary emancipations, out of the
debauched human grease and into the compassionate self-irhmolation,
originated by the twelve year-old prodigy in the temple, passed down
through the berserk Soren Kirk to the undefiled who never laugh at
austerity.
Shall we try this logically, Memmius (whose acronym will be
disclosed in due time)? Only gods can procreate, and since there'sjust
one God, and also by the craziest of happenstances there's only one
Son, therefore there's only one real person. And that's Christian
Nihilism, boss. Memmius, I shan't apotheosize Venus like the epicurean, either. On the scarlet beast she rides, meretricious owner bf your

spark a revival and call it to contrition? How
can he rescue even his old high school from
perdition? Or Tyre, or Babylon?
Answer: Jonah and Nineveh and Grace (or
whoever that guy was in Nebuchadnezzar's
furnace). The solution is to sincerely become
as rip-roaring anchoritic as you can be (hint:
self denial helps) and to simply go there! Go
to the city, bring the gospel, and let 'em stone
ya' like Stephen. Do not worry about shelter
nor the plant nor the gentiles, just go there.
And remember, the pe.derasty and mischief
are reason enough to want to help. The children are pure until they are conupted by the
maleficence of yonder miscreants and
pedophiliacs. The thriving plant was my
self-image, that worthless pride of the sibyHine
wanderer. Shake your occult weed down,
man, and re-enter the town. You haven't even
tasted spiritual warfare. Spend your cash on
soap instead of alcohol. You gotta fight the
devil, boy, and you don't do it to save your
middle-class hide from ruin, you do it to keep
the innocent ones in their tower.
A proud eremite of commiseration, I
am far from Jonah, I never even left the fish's
gut, just swallerin' mouthfuls of Western
Thoughtandfearin' the word "complacency."
The city is there, drinking her fornications.
But how can the prophet penetrate the town,
and call it to repentance? I don't want its
depredation, Memmius. I want to see a revival, not destruction. I care not for my plant
anymore. The profligate
is not ruined yet.
It's the final empire emerging, but only in its
incipient stage. There are children, however,
who live in towers above the brothels.
stay up there, hungry and neglected,
until the deflowered ones, the spiteful harlots,
slowly entice them down with sweetmeats.
But Jonah's still got a shot.
Instead of eyeing K's castle, I'll stick
around in the muck and get spitcshined by the
fornicatin' eagles, and pray for the party ro
crumble. The demonic owns the party, and
passes out the invitations. He even pulled
young J.Joyce in. But literature is trash,
Memmius, it's too gratifying. Only labor for
the cause of the Holy Spirit is effective. In an

Elio tic maze and old man tried to break up the
reunion, hailing the missionary. But, you see,
we gotta BECOME the missionary, the
speeeeeeeeedmonk. Those kids up in 'em
towers are jewels of the fallen seed, and they
are to be loved. Save 'em!
There's a fence that surrounds this
city, in fact, all cities. Few folks ever see the
thing, but it sure enough is there. You just
gotta look real hard to see it. I see it every day
of my freaky life. Once upon a time two boys
were nursing their retarded brother in an alley
when some malefactors came along and entered them. Filth raced through their young
loins, but in the distance they saw the fence, it
it was pearly and beautiful, and they ran to it.
They touched their dinghies to it and got
electrocuted, rendered impotent. But after the
initial shock, they felt no more pain, and could
play freely on the fence all the time like pixies.
They live on this obscure fence to this day, and
I smile at 'em each morning, tellin' 'em that
I'll be on that fence too someday. They preach
nicely to the bums and potential molesters,
asking them to come along and psychotically,

about time I told you your name, along with
the true nature of things:
Men, End Maternity, Misery in Uterus Stop!

Old Soren Kirk told us, writing in
sweat (you see, nobody appreciates the
sweatin' that he did" and because he didn't
bleed, all thesecanonizin' men won'tcallhim
a martyr), that procreation was all just PAGAN EGOISM. Well, we don't go that far,
but we do believe that it is the perpetuation of
Do the children a favor, loved ones, let
'em stay in the tower. That's how you get
precocious and that's how you save the city.
Tell 'em about Grace and watch 'cm repent.
For if not, me and my servant, the dog, will
steal your offspring and place them on the
young monk consul. Seed become stone.
And remember: I ain't no crazy prophet. And
you ain't gods.

                <text>Audio recording of a lecture given by Steven Crowell on April 26, 2024 as part of the Dean's Lecture &amp; Concert Series.  The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: “Of all the writings Heidegger published after Being and Time, “The Question Concerning Technology” (1950) is surely the most widely taught and discussed.  It is not hard to understand why.  Since 1950, our dependence on technical devices, and the environmental consequences of technological manipulation of nature, have only become more oppressive, and Heidegger’s essay provides an intuitively powerful expression of the uneasiness we feel.  All the same, the text is one of Heidegger’s most obscure, and so it is not easy to assess what Heidegger says about technology and his stated hope of establishing a “free relation” to it through a “thinking” that is other than philosophy.  How should we take the measure of a kind of thinking that seems to shun traditional measures like reason and logic for one that has been forgotten since the time of Parmenides?  This is the challenge of Heidegger’s approach to technology.”</text>

enrollm ent o f students has in creased about four or fiv e tim es th e original numbe r. Th e di sciplin e o f th e school cons iderably improved a nd th e curri culum strength ened . the older bu ilclings repa ired. and three o f our fine st buildings erected;
namely, \Vooclwarcl Hall, Senior Hall. and the Gymn as ium ; McDowell Hall also has been rebuilt. F urth ermore, through th e
efforts o f our P resid ent. the long ex i. ting mo rtgage d ebt of th e coll ege. n w unting to $30,000, ha s been compl etely wiped
out.
Th e last accompli shm ent o f hi s adm ini stration was th e affi li at ion o f St. J ohn' s Coll ege with the U ni versity o f Maryland , o f Daltim ore, whi ch in stitution maintain s a Law School. a nd Medi ca l, Dental and P ha rmacy Departments o f ve ry
high sta nding.
Dr. Fell is an acti ve mem be r o f th e A meri ca n Phil olog ic al A ssociation, th e A meri can Academy o f Politi cal Sciences,
the National Edu ca ti onal Assoc iation, th e P hi S ig ma Kappa Fraternity, the U niv ersity Club of Baltimo re, a nd th e Cliosophi e Soc iety o f Prin ceton U niv ers ity.
Th e good wo rk whi ch has been accompli shed by St. J ohn' s during th e past twenty yea rs is clu e in a great mea sure to
the able adm ini stration o f Dr. F ell. \\'hil e th e progress whi ch th e in stitution has mad e under hi s direction bears testimony to hi s efficien cy as a teache r a nd a n executi ve; th e fa ct th at th e dow nward tend ency of th e Coll ege was so promptl y
ar rested during th e fir st years o f hi s P resid ency bea rs eq ually strong testim ony to hi s ability as orga ni zer and finan cier.

~;"~:~r~ I'l'H feelings mingled with pl easure and recrret, I take up my pen to chronicl e th e events o f the Class o f 19 12

~~'~· ~~ J

from its beginning. It affo rd s me much pleas ure to nam e th e baby events o f our Coll ege caree r and it is
with mu ch regret th at I ay th at th e tim e is f ast approaching wh en we shall sepa rate, each go ing hi s way ,
confident that th ere is a prosperou.· futur e bef ore him .
Th e most memorable event o f 1908 was th e asse mbling o f th e poo r ''g reeni es·· at " C rabtown ," who were
to con. titute th e Cl ass o f 19 12. I shall pass li ghtl y over th e Fre hman yea r, full o f viciss itud es for u ·, and
the rough handling by th e ''Sophs.,'' but luckily we ca me out o f th at with a whole skin.
fter th e enca mpm ent, Jun e week,
a nd th e Commencement exercise were over, we return ed ho me. much wiser th an wh en we arrived, and with num erous
resolutions o f what we would do th e follo wing September.
September, 1909, found us all back to th e fold with th e excepti on o f a few ; but th eir places were fill ed by th e new me.1
- M iller, Lentz and Stal ey.
O ur fir st duty as Sophomo res was as we th ought, to co m mence th e educa ti on o f th e F reshm en. O ne beautiful Friday ~ight we held a Gy mn asium Clas fo r th eir in struction. A lmost all o f us acted as in stru ctors to th e " F reshi e. .. and
we we re very effi cient. Th ere i a aying that th ere is nothing new under th e sun , but if th e man wh o sa id that could
have been th ere th at night. he certainly would ha ve been compell ed to admit th at he had ne\·e r hea rd o f some o f th e things
whi ch we had for our entertainm ent . These entertainm ents eli cl not continu e long . Th ey becam e obnox ious to th e Faculty,
by whi ch th ey were g iven th e polite name o f ha zing, but w hich were call ed by one fond pa rent, '·To rtures wo r e th an th e
Spani sh Inqui siti on. "
\\ 'hen th e F aculty hea rd o f the e entertainm ents, we we r c called togeth er by P ro fesso rs Cec il and \ Voodcock, and
persuaded to aboli sh haz ing, if the F reshi es agreed to ce rtain rule s. Hazing is dying a natural death and it is hoped that in
a yea r it will be gone foreve r.
In th e Sophomore yea r we co ntributed to all th e team s except Casket-ball. Harri .·, \\'in slow, Gail ey and B rashears
were on th e econd football team. R yder and Ga il ey were th e Track representative . In T enni s, Lent z and B rashea r
mad e th e team. Four m embers o f th e cl ass were mad e Co rpo ral s in th e Compani es, and three in th e Ba nd .
It wa during our Sophomore yea r th at we had a g rea t deal of fun. a nd by far th e g rea te t o rganization was th e
'·Fourth Floo r H ell Rai sers," which wo rri ed " R edd y" alm ost to death .

�Afte r we had been lite rail y wa heel out o f Camp and Commencement 11·as ove r, we departed fo r home, each wondering
what th e nex t . yea r had in sto re for him in the way o f non- Co mmi ss ions.
\iVhen we assembled in 19 10, as Junio rs, we found th at eve ry man had return ed, and th at we had a new aclcl ition in th e
shape of ·'La nk y" Zi.egler. This yea r :eemed to be one o f ~nrc! work in Academi c and Mi lita ry Departments. In the
former, we have surpa ssed all reco rd . Th e greatest achievement in our coll ege ca ree t- \\·as th e publi shing o f our RA'L'-'l' AT,
and, ind eed , it was a glorious one. Year after yea r, form er cia ses had been go ing in debt, but we produced an annu al
which wi ll compare well with any, and yet in stead o f go ing in debt, we mad e money.
Another thing o f whi ch we are proud wa: our June Ball. Never befo re we re th ere such ca rd s and deco rations, and
the Graduating Class certainly app reciated such an honor.
The Camp at Tolche ter was a great success, and when we all return ed, it was with th e de ire to return nex t yea r.
\Ve all were more or less urpri sed at our appo intm ents on Commencement day, but we departed with th e determinati on
th at when we return ed we wou ld do our duty as best we cou lei .
\\'h en yet once mo re our feet ought th e path s of old S t. J ohn' s, it wa as Senio rs th at we return ed . Senio rs, for it
was for thi: that we labo red so long a time . \\ .hen th e roll was ca lled it was found that "Dutch" B roaclt-up and '·Lank y"
Ziegler were among th e miss ing. Hoth hav ing entered th e U ni ve r ~ it y of .Ma ryland ; th e fo rm er to study law and th e latte r
medicine_ Their place: have been fill ed by White, Hollj es and Wil son- holdove rs from las t yea r.
In ath leti cs we still contributed to each tea m. our men being among th e best. O ur chi ef wo rk has been th e publi shin a
o f the Coll egian wh ich we are doing with g reat succe s. O ne thing whi ch we consider good fo r th e school has been the
ki lling o f one o f th e half-d ead literary societie. . Thi . was accompli. heel by the withd rawal o f the Seniors, and th e
bo tto m clroppecl from th e w ho le thing. It is understoo d th at it is to be reo rganized next yea r, and if we were to be here
we would lend our help most wi llingly.
\ Vhile our class i not so att enti ve to th e military d epa rtm ent . it has not interferred with our duty 111 thi s
depa rtm ent, s in ce it is up to u s to enforce th e rul es. As a class we have been a success, for we ha ve always stood
togeth er in anything which was for th e good o f th e college.
It is now my p urpose to end w ith a hi sto ry o f th e work in the academ ic depa rtm ent, in which we have neve r been
eq ual ed, and we are ju tl y proud o f it. In ou r F reshm an yea r we es tabli shed a hig hl y cred itabl e stand a rd o f academic
wo rk, and have throughout our whole college career stead ily raised it until now in our Senior yea r we posess th e hono rabl e
di tinction o f having seven ty-five per cent. o f th e class on th e hono r roll. Twi ce have th e Inter-Coll egiate math emati cs
prizes been won by ' 12 men : by P. L. Alge r in 1909 and 19 11 , and by F . A . .M ill er in 19 10. I n clos ing I may ay the one
thing to which our success is du e, is f llow ing faithfull y our cl ass motto: " O mni a P robate, Dona Tenete."

hady campu s of S t. J ohn' s September th e nin eteen th , 19 11 , but not until
a week l1ad pa sed were we a11 togeth er. \ Ve cam e from a11 part. o f th e world, from th e rocky coast o f
th e Pacifi c to th e sa ndy sho res o f th e A tlanti c, f rom the hea rt o f th e citi es to the wi ld s o f the farms .

S in ce most o f our parents came up with u s, we were ve ry we11 contented whi le th ey stayed, but just as
soon as they left , home. ick ness stole into our h ea rts, and fo r the foll owing two week s we were a sick bun ch
o f fell ows.

About the second da y th at we were here, th e Sophomo res in vit ed us to room 30 on th e fourth fl oo r. Thinking there wa s
to be a recept ion in our honor, we we re not long in repo rtin g. \ Vhen we had been in th e room a few minutes we found
that it was not what we expected . Some o f us were made to sing '·Casey J ones" a nd other popular songs, so:ne were
made to reci te "As th e Sophomore liked it,'' whil e still oth er s were making love to th e table leg, and other stunts. Th e
refreshments were fourteen rul es drawn up by the G. 0 . H. whi ch we were o rd ered to lea rn a nd obey. But thi s was not
the wo rst. O ne mo rning abo ut 2 o 'clock we we re disturbed in our dreams and ordered to repo rt back o f th e old gym .
F rom there we were taken to th e rai lroad cut, where our strength was tri ed pulling ra il s, wh il e the Sophomores u rged u
on with sla ts. They orde red us to take off ou r shoes when we came back so that we would not wak e ''Reddy ." A lthough
we were a little so re the next day, yet we began to reali ze we were students o f St. J ohn' s.
Ma ny oth er tim e h ave we been summ o ned to roo m 2 o r room 12 to do stunt s fo r the a mu sem e nt o f the Sop homore s, but none o f th em were to be compared with th at aw ful night in the ·'Cut .''
Yet in a ll o f our troubl es we we re ab le t o ca ll our class togeth e r a nd elect our o ffi ce rs. F or P res id en t , Youn g

for s u cces . Cassard was elect ed to fill hi s p lace.
O f our Aca dem ic wo rk we are not as ham ed. Thi s m ay best be exp la in ed by what o ne o f our m emb ers did in
a H isto ry t est . The "O ld Lady" mad e a 5. C. V. \\ ' il so n led th e class fo r th e term with high ho nors. O thers
that were o n th e ho no r roll were 1 artlett, Cohn , :'vlow bra y, Nelson, Ritchi e, \ Va lsh, \ Vil son and \ Vin slow.

(Deta il s of game by £ . H.

S IRJ CH)

Fi her's hitless wonders got away to a bad start ye -·terday, but came back 111 time to annex the bacon by 100
to 99.
The redoubtable ''T urk' ' started in to do the hurling b ut the portsider had no more stuff on th e ball than a Grecian
statue wears, and was soon derricked by Manager R. E. F. '· T ommy" wa sent to the mound , and di splayed a varied col
lection of shoo ts. Fi r t he would send in a fast one that co uld only be seen here and there, particularly there. Then he
slid a so ft one over the groove, that came up to the plate lik e a bashful suitor to th e family fireside .
I n the Fi . herites half of th e fir st inning, Harry reached fir st on a fr ee ti cket, th en stretched hi s full length, and
was on second . Armie was next up and the new pitcher served him a highball ove r th e plate, which the umpire called a
strike. T hat was a hard one for Ann ie to swallow. The twirl er sent over another of the same kind, but A rmie looked it
ove r, and seeing th at it was one of hi s favorite kind , tapped it for a sac rifi ce. " Ducky" then faced the slabman, and figured
th at by moving hi s bat through an angle of cos in e 90'' ;+2, 3, he would drive th e pill through a knot hole in th e fence,
but when the ball pa sed by he reali zed that he had hit in th e negative quadrant, and had failed to connect. " Rameses"
came up to the plate wielding an ancient mace. The catcher called fo r a stone age ball, which was fruit for " Ram," but he
economically decided to take advantage of the marginal utility rul e. and wai ted for four bad ones.
" Reddy" stepped to the platter winging hi s renowned cane. The bases were full (so was the team ) . vVith three
and two on him, he conn ected with the garbed co rk. T hen the candles were lighted. The cover was knocked off the ball,
and fell in front o f home plate, while the sphere cleared th e middle garden wall. The catcher touched the runners with
the cover as th ey dented ho me pla te. Hi s nib . . the U mp , decided the runn ers were out, when he was instantly surrounded
170

�by Fisher ' fearless fizzlers, who made a ladies' sewing circle sound as lively as a fun eral. ''Ducky" and H arry wa nted
to measure the angle of incidence, and show that a ball hit in that quad rant would always be a home-run . ''Reddy" tri ed
to put a bug in the U mp's ear, while Manager R. E . F . murmured something that he had read in th e Small A rm F iring
Manual about a spent ball, and tri ed to prove that it counted the same as a ricochet shot. "A rmie" wanted to hold a n interteam debate on the question. "Bob'' and " Jack" attempted t o bribe the U mpire in th e way th ey had read about Clod ius'
briberies, but found that sesterces were only used for paper weights in th e present day. '· T omm y" wanted to settle ;t by
arb itration, but " Turk" yell ed ''kill him ," and th e tea!n grabbed bats.
After the U mpire 's funeral today the game wi ll be continued . Yeste rday's ra in checks good for today' s game only .
Added features-The renowned fe arless phenom " Rames es" wi ll umpire today in a coat o f mail.

�FELL is our worthy president,
For the good of the College, I think, he was sent.

once. ) \ Vhy don't you move, M r. Catlin , time is fl ying?
Enter Clayton, Spickn all and H undley.
H un dley-Am I late, P rofesso r ?
" Ducky" ( taking out hi s watch )-Guess you are, go to the board . M r. Clayton, can't you do that?
Clayton-No, Sir. I studi ed it, but" Ducky' ' -Sit down , th en, sit dow n.
( Spickn all goe to th e window, standing by th e radiator, looks out. )
''Ducky' '-M r. Spicknall, sit down and pay attention.
Spickn all-I'm cold .
" Du cky" '-M r. Campbell , get right up and give M r. Sp icknall your seat, I don't want anybody in my class to suffer.
(Spi ckn all s its dow n. ) If you a re not comfortable now sit right on top of the radiator .
Spi cknaii-Yes, Sir.

�I wish you gentlemen would put your names on the board (violent gestures) . (Turn ing to Reeder. ) Hold on, hold
on, Mr. Reeder. That comes directly from the thing Mr. Catlin is struggling with.
Mr. Reeder-If thi s equals that ard that equals thi s oth er, this other eq ual s thi s whi ch eq uals that.
"Ducky"-Go on, go on, hurry ; time is an element. There no w, look at Mr. H ~ llj es . Stand out of the way Mr.
Hollj es. (John makes a graceful movement a droite.) I w ish you would make things that look like things. I can't get
you all to economize space. Ju st look at Mr. H ollj es' figure . It covers the whole board. O h, pshaw!- (Turni ng to Spicknall. ) Are you suffering yet, Mr. Spick nall ?
Spicknali-Q uite comfo rtable, Profe ssor.
(General laughter. '· Ducky"' smiles faintly. )
" Ducky"-There now, look at Mr. Riggin. Just throw a ..:at in the air and it will light on its feet every time. Yes,
that's the right answer, but look at that algebra. This is "prep math" I am teaching you now. \ t\fhat are you thinking
about ?
Mr. H~lljes is making the same mistake. N ow, Mr. Riggin , you just- follow-your-nose.
Riggin-Guess I can do that.
( At thi s point four hats, three writing board s and a cuspidor go out the window.)
" Ducky" (not seeing, continues ) -Mr. Phi llips, have yo u read the papers lately ?
Phillips-Yes, Sir.
" Duck y"'-T hen you have read about the stand pat and progress ive men . You are a stand patter. You have been at
th e board over thirty minutes and have done nothing. That's the simplest kind of a thing.
Nelso n- Profe sso r, I can't get thi s stuff .
" Duck y" ( pleased ) -Call it stuff if you want to, Mr. Nel son, but you will find it the hardest S-T-U-F-F you ever got
hold of. What kind of a figure do you call that, anyway? Your figure reminds me of the architecture of Annapoli s.
( Members of the class sho w signs of approval.)
''Duck y''-There no w, Mr. Reeder, don't take two bites at that cherry. \ Vhy don't you draw a picture? I want to see
a picture o f the thing. (Reeder begins to draw .) N ow, just look at that.
Reeder- By taking a unit circle if x equals 0, then y wi ll equal 0.
" Ducky"-Not a bit of it, not a bit of it, Mr. Reeder, it wi ll equal r. Don't you see that ?

A nnapoli s, the city fair ,

T here came a dream to me,

\Ve after time did reach.
A nd on the hill th e Coll ege saw

In sil ence like a spirit came

At whi ch I lea rn ed to teach.

A nd seized me suddenly.

T hi s Sp irit seemed like one

T hat Sp irit po inted out to me ,

No r spake no r moved hi . eye ,

\ Vith finger long a nd white,
The College I so long had left

But g rip ped m e fa st about th e neck;
W ith me away he fti e .

O"er hill and dale we ,.lent with speed,
,

I saw th e beauty o f th e trees,
And all the ca mpus ' round,

So fa st my head d id sw im ,
A nd all th e tim e I wondered why

My soul was gladd ened at the s ight,

He took me on with him.

My hea rt was rapture-bound.

Th e spirit in th at game was such.
T hat it brought back to me,
Remembran ce of th e time wh en T

A nd mu ch the same as fo rm er day sIn unifo rm s o f g ray

O f future's greate r day .

I then a bugle call did hea r,
T he student s fast did run,
A nd to th eir classes th ey all sped
For me it was much fun.

Agai n th e happy sight it changed ,
I saw them out at drill;
H ow strange it seemed unto my eyes
N ot seeing "Jim" or ·'B ill."

In silence still the Spirit stood,
And yet it did not speak.

J then began to f eel the cold ,
Toward home I wi shed to turn ;
The Spirit much increased hi s g ri p
A nd held me fast and firm.

I wondered what it was, that I ,
So mute and dumb mu st seek.

The cold , it pierced me through and through,
I fell wh ere I did stand ,

O ne night last Ma rch our lea rn ed Faculty held a most thrilling meet ing.
A ft er the routine shipping business had
been t ransacted, Ed . ·ta rted the troubl e by introducing the following resolution:

'' R esolved: That it is th e sen. e o f the Facul ty o f St. J ohn 's th at th e manufacture and sale o f liquo r should be fo r eve r prohibited in th ese nited State. ."
Eddie made a brief but telling speech in favor o f hi s resolution. .. Something mu st be done, .. he said , ·'to cru sh
out th e curse o f drink ." H e wa s oppo eel to li cense and regul ation. A n-o ra! wrong should never be tolerated o r li censed .
Mo reove r, thi s resolution would be a tremendous boom to St . J ohn· s wo rld reputation, resulting in a g reat increase o f
stud ents from Christian homes .
Ducky was on hi s feet with a violent prote. t again st an y such heresy.
But for th e intell ectual stimulu s o f spirits

hi s buttermi lk unmolested. He boldly called Redd y to ta sk for lobbying fo r th e resolution, and upon that gentleman's
denial, th e short and ugly word was passed. Being fo rced to retract, Du cky dramaticall y declared .. T o th e Faculty I
apologize, but to th e gentleman- neve r!' '
Thomas entered hi s objections mainly on p ycholog ical and ethical g round . .. If a man d esires to rot out hi s own
stomach, th at is hi s fun eral, not ou rs." " Thi s action" he said, ''would prejudice th e Legislature and cause a redu ction
in our approp ri ation."
Turk follo wed in an effecti ve speech, favo ring th e reso lution on scientifi c ground s and proving th e deleterious chemical effects o f alcohol upon th e system ..
Ram delive red a schola rl y di ss ertation aga inst th e reso lu ti on, showing the eco nomi c convul ion follow ing thi s interference w ith th e suppl y of li quor and the stomach's demand fo r it. He quoted Babylonian and Chald ean hi story
to p rove hi s contention.
A r my th en secured th e floo r and poured fo rth an eloq uence which will ever maintain a high place among th e class ics.
Fo r ten short hours th e Faculty hung with breathless attention upon the powe r o f hi s orato ry.

fR1 FTER a long year of toil and labor, gathering rnaiii terial and compiling this book, we say with a glad
heart, "It is finished." It has been our attempt to
depict to our alumni and friends those very things they
would like to have seen and heard had they been on the
campus. As the reader lays aside this volume we hope
he does so with a remembrance of its good qualities and a
forgetfulness of its failings. We hope he has judged it with
a true St. John's Spirit---not with the attitude of a sardonic
critic.
The editorial Board here wishes to extend its thanks to
Miss M. B. Duvall of this city, Miss M. Hoffman of Hagerstown, Professor Eidson, for the drawings in this Rat-Tat ;
and all others who so kindly aided us in its publication .

"Fred die" reported for no uniform. Nothing has happened yet. First Basket-ball
game-Gallaudet, 58; St. ]. C., 22.
We knew it ; something wonderful happened.
Mellon has appeared in uniform.
Armstrong and Wilkinson form an alliance.
Philomatheans disband.
Preps and Freshmen play a to-a-no-score
game in Football.
"Windy" breaks down under the high strain.
We want to know, the high strain of
what? Catonsville?
Christmas is coming.
Fields and Young explain their schedule of.
study. They never study Monday night
because they have too much work on
Tuesday, and they don~ t study Tuesday
because they have too little on Wednesday, and they don't study Wednesday
because of an old custom.
Thursday
they study all night.
And from that
time until Monday evening again they
would never think of such a thing as
study. Quite sensible.
The "Oiseau" comes to grief. And our
young Wright severely injured.
