HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 95. The ancients tell us that when a historian begins to tell of past events, Clio, the muse of history, hovers over him to inspire his mind and guide his pen in truth and justice. Craving this aid, the historian of ' 95 has listened through two long hours for the still small voice of this deity, but the air is silent and his mind continues blank. He would not chastise her, for well he knows with what infinite patience she has striven to lubricate certain other rusty wheels and cause to flow with steady stream the course of three other historical and historic narratives. With- out her aid, therefore, the history of ' 95 must be placed before the public. In the beginning of the term 1891-92 there began to settle over the campus of Davidson College a green- ish-tinged cloud, which slowly and steadily enveloped the hill as if the Olympians, attracted by our classic shades, wished to change the place of their abode and henceforth feast on tar instead of nectar. This, how- ever, was not really the case, for when the cloud lifted and the sun again appeared there were discovered sixty-one beings disporting themselves lightly about the campus. It was supposed by all that they had been sent down by a special order of Jove, but since the oracle has been discontinued, of course none could learn the true state of the case. For several hours this merry and unsophisticated crowd of stran- gers wandered thoughtlessly around, entirely oblivious of the fact that the earth was occupied and not entirely their own, until suddenly a horde of natives, com- monly called Sophomores, rushed from holes in the wall and proceeded to remind the visitors that since they were on the earth they must become earthy. Thus was ushered into the history of Davidson the class of ' 95, which, besides being the largest class that has assembled here for twenty-five years, is unique in several other particulars. When our college course began ' 95 put a man on the honor-roll, when our col- lege course ends ' 95 will put the college on the honor- roll. We as men were social beings ; therefore after becoming pretty thoroughly acquainted helping each other wring clothes, pick off cat-tails and deodorize rooms, we proceeded to organize, sub rosa, electing Mr. S. W. McKee, president, Mr. F. H. Wardlaw, vice-president, and Mr. W. M. Fairley, secretary and treasurer. We expected that as soon as we had done this we could begin operations, remodeling the col- lege, making new rules for the professors and elect- ing a new body of trustees. Several suggestions were 23
