# The Freshman (Holman)/Acknowledgment

Full credit for "The Freshman" story should go to Harold Lloyd and to the members of his very efficient staff: namely, Sam Taylor, Fred Newmeyer, John Grey, Ted Wilde, Tim Whelan and Clyde Bruckman. They originated the plot and developed it in its every detail. The undersigned author did not appear upon the scene until the great comedy motion picture, produced from their story, had been completed and shown. He then endeavored to translate the photoplay into book form, using the incidents of the story exactly as they occur upon the screen.
The undersigned freely acknowledges his indebtedness to Mr. Lloyd and his famous staff as the real authors of "The Freshman." He is likewise grateful to the Harold Lloyd Corporation for permission to novelize the picture.

# The Forlorn Hope (Hall)/Poems/A Love-Letter to my Wife

A LOVE-LETTER
TO MY WIFE.
Dear heart! all happy thoughts I bring
To thee, upon this morn of spring;
When laughing health is in the gale,
And sweet birds sing on every tree,
While Nature, upon hill and dale,
Prepares a welcome for the bee.
Now earth rejoices, glad and gay,
O'er wearied winter, passed away;
And hope is like yon cloudless sky,
To which nor shade nor shower belong:
I sigh—but not with grief I sigh— As thoughts of thee breathe forth in song.
If I would learn the poet's skill
To make my words obey my will,
What theme should, next to Nature, warm?
I think not long that theme to find— The beauty of thy face and form— The beauty of thy heart and mind?
Yes—beauty! though it may not be
Like this young morning, fresh and free;
But, rather, like the rising day— The day that rises, while I write— Too early to suggest decay,
Too warm to bid me think of night.
Yes—beauty in that happy face
The husband-lover still can trace;
Goodness, and gentleness, and truth,
May live to mock at change and time;
They were the graces of thy youth— They are the graces of thy prime!
We've toil'd together, side by side,
Proud—yet it was no selfish pride— That toil brought honour if no wealth;
Our hearts have gather'd little rust;
But ours are peace, and hope, and health,
And mutual love, and mutual trust!
Companion, counsel, friend, and wife,
Through twenty years of wedded life!
Dear love, sweet heart—why not address
Warm words to thee—my hope and pride?
I have not lived to love thee less
Than when I hail'd a fair young bride.'
Ah! let me think how deep a debt,
Sweet friend, dear wife, I owe thee yet;
In toil, in trouble, weak and ill,
Thy zealous care, thy active thought,
Thy spirit—meekly trusting still— Calm'd the hot pulse and brain o'erwrought.
I gave to thee a humble name,
Which thou, dear wife, hast given to fame;
And surely 'tis no idle boast
That many laud and flatter thee;
But when the world hath praised thee most,
Thy woman's heart was most with me!
Years of success have taught thee this,— Dear wife, that duty leads to bliss;
'Tis thine to show to those who toil,
That love can make all labour light;
That fame and favour may not spoil
The mind that thinks and acts aright!
'Tis thine to prove that strength of mind
May work, with woman's grace combined;
To show how Nature's debts are paid
In studies small that sweeten life;
And how the loftiest thoughts may aid
The duties of a loving wife.
Ah! more than twenty years ago,
I hoped, where now I feel and know!
Older thou art—yet I can see
No change impair thy cheek and brow,
No early beauty fade from thee;— And am I less a lover now?

AILEEN MAVOURNEEN.
He tells me he loves me, and can I believe,
The heart he has won, he can wish to deceive?
For ever and always, his sweet words to me,
Are Aileen, mavourneen, a cuishla machree!
Last night, when we parted, his gentle good bye,
A thousand times said, and each time with a sigh,
And still the same sweet words he whisper'd to me,
Are Aileen, mavourneen, a cuishla machree.
The friend of my childhood, the hope of my youth,
Whose heart is all pure, and whose words are all truth,
Oh! sweet are the sweet words he whispers to me,
My Aileen, mavourneen, a cuishla machree.
Oh! when will the day come, the dear happy day,
That a maiden may hear all a lover can say,
And he speaks out the words he now whispers to me,
My Aileen, mavourneen, a cuishla machree!

# The Forlorn Hope (Hall)/Poems/A Character

A CHARACTER.
He was a very old man, and had seen
His children's children flourish as they grew;
Yet strong in mind as he had ever been— Unworn by fourscore summers—still he drew
The eyes of all men on him; for his fame
Had gone forth to the nations; and his name
Was, like himself, time-honour'd—and his look
Was as the index to some well-penn'd book.
It was his age's winter; yet he bore
His years with dignity, for, in his spring,
His wild shoots were well pruned—so that he wore
His summer garment bravely; age might bring
His full boughs nearer earth, but could not kill
The root that sent forth fruit and blossoms still;
The tempest o'er it many a time had pass'd,
Yet left it firm and noble to the last.
​He had a winning softness when he would;
Yet sometimes he was like the shower that sheds
Apparent wrath while it produces good:
And bends young buds to bid them raise their heads,
That with more profit they may hail the sun;
And some were even by his harshness won,
Because they knew 'twas kindly meant, and kept
But as a spell to waken those who slept.
Greatly he trod the earth, and men would bow,
The high and lowly, with respect to him;
Though many a furrow deeply marked his brow,
Though his once penetrating eye was dim,
And though the weight of age had bent the form
Which for twice forty years had stood the storm
That, bearing many a goodly one to earth,
Had left him—as if conscious of his worth.
He was the friend of all who knew him—all— A kindly fountain, with perpetual flow;
And well he knew, and much he loved, to call
The feelings forth, that give a brighter glow
To things of earth; he felt the poet's fire:
Albeit his fingers never touch'd the lyre;
His was true inspiration, for his mind
Had ranged from God to nature, unconfined.
But, must we say that he no longer lives?
And, as the painter when his sketch he views— Outlined from Nature—pauses, ere he gives
The last touch of his pencil, lest he lose
The character of what he copies;—here
We feel how bare our picture must appear,
Wanting the finish that to all should tell
How, having lived in honour, he died well.

CHASE, Philander, American Protestant Episcopal bishop: b. Cornish, N. H., 14 Dec. 1775; d. Jubilee College, Ill., 20 Sept. 1852. He was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1795, and was ordained priest by Bishop Provoost 10 Nov. 1799. After missionary work in New York State and rectorships at New Orleans, La., and Hartford, Conn., he set out as a missionary in districts west of the Alleghanies. In Ohio he organized various parishes, and in 1819 was consecrated the first bishop of Ohio. Between 18Z1 and 1831 he was for two years president of Cincinnati College, but chiefly engaged in perfecting plans for a theological seminary. He visited England, and through the influence of Lord Gambier and Lord Kenyon raised a large sum of money, $30,000, with which he founded the Theological Seminary and Kenyon College at Gambier, Ohio. In 1831 he resigned his bishopric and the presidency of the college and seminary, removed to Michigan 1832, was chosen bishop of Illinois 1835; again visited England and raised $10,000 with which he founded Jubilee College, Peoria County, Ill. Upon the death of Bishop Griswold in 1843, Bishop Chase became presiding bishop of the Church. He wrote ‘A Plea for the West’ (1826); ‘The Star in the West, or Kenyon
College’ (1828); ‘Defense of Kenyon College’ (1831); ‘A Plea for Jubilee’ (1835); ‘Reminiscences: An Autobiography’ (1848).

CHAMINADE, shä-mē-näd, Cécile Louise Stéphanie French composer: b. Paris, 8 Aug. 1861. She studied at Paris under Le Coupey, Savard, Marsick and Benejamin Godard; soon acquired a high reputation as a pianist, and played at concerts in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, London, Constantinople and other cities. She visited the United States in 1908 and made a successful tour, but has not maintained her hold on the public. She has resided in England for a number of years. Her compositions, which are widely known, include ‘Callirhoë,’ a ballet symphony performed with great success at Marseilles (1888), Lyons (1889), and Bordeaux (1901); ‘Les Amazones’; ‘Ménétriers’; ‘Au Matin’; and a number of songs, among which are ‘Madrigal’; ‘Chanson Slave’; ‘Ritournelle’; ‘Fleur de Matin’; and ‘Sans Amour.’ She has also written a concertstuck for piano and orchestra, two trios and a large number of works for piano solo, piano and violin, etc.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Chamisso, Adelbert de

Edition of 1920. See also Adelbert von Chamisso on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CHAMISSO, shä-mēs'sō, Adelbert de (properly Louis Charles Adelaide de Chamisso de Boncourt), German poet and naturalist: b. at the castle of Boncourt, Champagne, 27 Jan. 1781; d. Berlin, 21 Aug. 1838. When a boy his family were driven by the breaking out of the Revolution to seek an asylum in Berlin. On the Peace of Tilsit he returned with his family to France, and in 1810 was appointed professor in the Lyceum of Napoleonsville; but shortly after returned to Prussia, and during three years devoted himself enthusiastically to the study of natural science at Berlin. Count Romanzoff having in 1815 fitted out a vessel, under the command of Otto von Kotzebue, for the discovery of the northwest passage, Chamisso accepted the appointment of naturalist to the expedition, and added greatly to his store of scientific knowledge. He afterward took up his residence at Berlin, was appointed superintendent of the botanic garden and received the diploma of doctor from the university for the collections in natural history which he had presented to the museum. His abilities as a naturalist are displayed in his work ‘De Animalibus quibusdam e Classe Vermium Linnæi’ (1819); and his ‘View of the Most Useful and the Most Noxious Plants of North Germany, with Remarks on Scientific Botany.’ In 1827, partly for the purpose of rebutting the charges brought against him by Kotzebue, he published ‘Views and Remarks on a Voyage of Discovery,’ and ‘Description of a Voyage Round the World.’ Both works display great accuracy and industry. His last scientific labor was a tract on the ‘Language of Owyhee.’ His reputation as a naturalist has been somewhat eclipsed by that which he acquired as a poet. As early as 1804-06 he, in concert with Varnhagen von Ense, published a collection of poems, under the name of the ‘Muses' Almanac’; and in 1813 appeared his celebrated and most original tale, ‘Peter Schlemihl,’ which has been translated, among other languages, into English, and admirably illustrated by Cruikshank. His poetry is marked by vigor, correctness and a thorough command of the German language; but is in general of a gloomy and terrific cast. He is the author, however, of several humorous pieces; and his political poems are distinguished by caustic, yet wholesome, raillery. Many of his ballads and songs are masterpieces of their kind. (See Peter Schlemihl's wundersame Geschichte).

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Chamois

Edition of 1920. See also Chamois on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CHAMOIS, shăm-wä or shăm'ĭ, a horned animal (Rupicapra tragus) classed among the goat-antelopes, and native to the mountains of middle and southern Europe from the Pyrenees to the Caucasus and Georgian Mountains, and as far east as Persia. The chamois found in the Pyrenees and in the Caucasus differ in local peculiaries from the Tyrolese, which is the race-type. This is about the size of a goat; but its neck is somewhat longer in proportion than that of the goat and is more graceful. The general color is brown; the head pale, almost yellow, with a dark marking on each cheek; the nails black. The short black horns rise straight from the forehead, and are recurved at the tip. The chamois may be found in summer, in the highest Alpine altitudes, close to, and indeed beyond, the snow-line. In winter it seeks the forests, where it is somewhat protected. In the Alps, where they have been much hunted, the herds are small. The chamois is now rare in Switzerland. The breeding season is in May and June. The chamois is famous for its agility. The creature is timid; and when feeding in flocks, one is always on the watch to announce danger by a peculiar whistling noise. Chamois-hunting as a sport is almost impossible in the Alps, as the numbers have been so reduced by continuous hunting that the remaining ones are protected by law — only a few being annually at the disposal of the hunter; but in the Carpathians and eastward the sport is not restricted. Chamois leather is valuable
commercially for its softness and warmth. (See Leather). Ordinary “chamois leather,” however, is prepared from sheep-skin or goat-skin. The flesh of the chamois is esteemed a table delicacy. The horns are used for ornamental purposes, especially in making souvenirs of Alpine tourist resorts.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Chamomile

Edition of 1920. See also Chamomile on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CHAMOMILE, or CAMOMILE (Anthemis nobilis), a plant belonging to the family Asteraceæ. It is an herb with slender, trailing, hairy and branched stems. The leaves are doubly pinnate, with linear pointed pinnæ. The head of flowers is white, with a yellow centre. Both leaves and flowers of this plant have a strong though not unpleasant smell, and a very bitter nauseous taste; but the flowers are more bitter and aromatic than the leaves. Chamomile enjoys a wide, popular reputation as a diaphoretic and diuretic. The flowers are usually made into an infusion or tea and this is drunk while hot. A poultice is also made of the flowers and applied to painful swellings, such as rheumatic joints, or earache, boils, etc. There is a large amount of fixed and volatile oil in chamomile to which its useful physiological and physical properties are due. Volatile oils act as vaso dilators and antispasmodics, diuretics and diaphoretics, the fixed oils permitting of long-continued heat. Chamomile flowers are sometimes used by brewers as a substitute for hops. Distilled with water, an essential oil in small quantities is obtained, of a greenish color and strong pungent taste. So fragrant is the chamomile plant that the places where it grows wild may easily be discovered by the somewhat strawberry-like perfume emitted when it is trodden on. This quality has sometimes induced its cultivation for a greenwalk in gardens. Chamomile in the United States is an importation from Europe. Two other closely related plants of the same genus. May-weed or dog-fennel (A. cotula) and corn chamomile (A. arvensis), both natives of Europe, are widely naturalized as weeds in North America.
