HISTORY. V pTfe HIS class was organized at the opening session of 1893, with an enrollment of forty-four u ' cjhfi bright boys and girls, each with the high determination of gra duating with the first hon- 6 org f their class. Happy to say, as these six years of diligent study and close appplica- tion have rolled by, we have continued to grow intellectually; but numerically we have sadly de- creased, having at present an enrollment of only five — three big ugly boys and two lovely young ladies who are not afraid of syllogisms and higher mathematics. Notwithstanding the fact we are the smallest class in college, (only one excepted) if our readers will forbear a few phrases of the Ciceronian style, we will assume the authority of saying that we are the best all-round class in college, standing second to none, unless it be the Normal class, and this class cannot properly be regarded as a regular class of the Seminary. For the truth of the above statement we will not impose upon you the embarassing task of con- sulting the Professors of the institution, as a class of one of our neighboring institutions did, but will refer you to a more accessible witness — the president of the class. We take pride in stating that our class has shared very flatteringly in the public honors of the college and bids fair to turn out two statesmen, a physician and a stenographer, of which any State might well be proud.
