I-listorg. ITI-I glad hearts we gathered for our exit, but with sad hearts we parted, for reluctantly did we go out from our first college year. We had been such happy freshmen, we feared that no other year of our college course could equal the lirst. We opened this new year with an In-it, which has proved to have been the jolly beginning of a jolly year. Our freshman life has been far surpassed by our sophomore life, with its greater variety of work, when Grammar lessons have been forgotten and construction seldom thought of 5 when we have had English in which not even Genung has proved formidable, and we have made the acquaintance of Shakespeare, Kit Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and Beaument, and Fletcher, and have had many interesting things read to us, for children like stories. We have developed a fondness for German songs, and once our sweet singing received a sweet reward. Cuts have not been so numerous this year, and we have wished our professors would forget us oftener, and more frequently come to recitation just in time to meet us going away. The new curriculum has gone into good working order, under us, our class being the first to-take French in its first year, and to begin German in its second. Experience has taught us to look fearlessly forward, and 'to anticipate more pleasurevand profit from the two years that await us. 27
