History of i9o2. HAT, gentle reader? A class so young C2111 have no his- tory? Do you not recall the exploits of the infant Herakles? Think you that in the Olympian annual of that year, among the records of the loves and quarrels of his seniors, space was not reserved for a brief history of this young demigod? True, we have not been stealing cattle, but our little affairs with the Second Years may well be likened to the serpent-strangling act of this precocious infant. On the twenty-second of September, 1898, a day ever memorable, the members of the class of 1902 laid aside the dignity and responsi- bility of High School Seniors, and became B. U. Freshmen. We were not at all lacking in those traditional characteristics from which our very name is derived, the original life and vigor, as Webster has it, or as the Standard defines it, 'fthe undiminished excellence and unimpaired strength. But that we should instinctively know all college customs was not to be expected, and so it is not unpardonable, perhaps, that in those first days, we commonly mistook the important looking QOQPOI MOPOI for Seniors, a blunder which, in the light of subsequent acquaintances in the classroom, appears most ridiculous. We spent many hours deciding which fraternity we would join, only to find that for many of us the time was spent for naught, since our decision was never asked for. The feminine majority was, however, invited to join Gamma Delta-Ah! And they were initiated-Oh! Our political history is a big improvement over that of Egypt, since we have had but two dynasties, and then we have a vw1.vf1'l11!z'w1, such as we are confident no body politic ever had before. Our wars so far have been with a foe hardly worthy of our steel, and since even the bare statement of the results of our various encounters might seem like boasting, we refrain. Much tl1e greater part of our course lies before us. We realize that, as in the life-story of our friend I-lerakles, our infant struggles merely hint at labors yet to be pe1'formed. To maintain our present record, would be no unworthy object: to better it is our ideal. 61
