SEN-IOR EDITGRIALS ACADEMY Again the time has come for another Senior Class of Throop to step down and out. We proudly think that before us there has been no such class in the history of the Institute. However, that may be, cer- tain it is that no class before us ever staged a play, ever succeeded in giving the Junior Class a picnic stretch- ing out over six weeks, or ever engraved its escut- cheon on the adamantine cement. VVe leave the Institute feeling that we have raised the standards higher and made more tradition than any class before us. junior class, when our mantle descends upon you in '06-'07, remember that it is no small heritage and 'defend its honor to the last. Farewell! -- - L V ' COLLEGE Ten years ago the college department graduated its first class. Now our graduates are admitted on the strength of their Throop diplomas to post-graduate work in such universities as Stanford and Chicago. Such students as have left Throop before securing their degree, have obtained credit at other institutions for the college studies they took at Throop, or have obtained better positions as surveyors, chemists, elec- tricians, etc., by reason of their studies here. The Department of Chemistry is not represented in the graduating class this year, but there are three graduates from the Department of Electrical Engi-- neermg. COMMERCIAL The foundation of the World's Progress is Edu- cation. A student seeks education. But whether we seek it or not, we are put here to accomplish some- thing. Some accomplish little, others much, but he who wastes his time in school, spoils his chance for the better. The better will not come to him, so he is left in the trough of the sea. The student who is prepar- ed and catches the wave as it comes is borne along on its crest. So with the man, the people, the nation and the whole world. He who sees an opportunity and grasps it as it presents itself, is the man of today, the man needed in the commercial world. Young men and women who are prepared to do commercial work, are wanted by all business firms, but they do not want young men or women who would teach them how to run their business. What they want is some one they can depend-on to do their work in a manner satisfactory to all concerned. Business men want young people' who are progressive, not young people who think when they have got their foot on the bottom round of the ladder of success that it is easy climbing to the top, and therefore do not exert themselves for their employer's interest.
