W9 mass Bistorv E have nearly run the course, finished the light and are now prepared to enter into the joys of five hundred dollar positions Gf we can get themy, and a seven by ten room in a back attic. Cheerless as may look the future and however coldly an unappreciative world may receive the members of l99, our past, at least, is secure. In every department of college life our class has stood supreme. Whenever athletics called for champions, whenever rows called for lighters, whenever the college called for support-there in the fore- ground of activity has waved the colors of 199. ' Our Class gave Dan Wells to the country and B. G. to the devil. It has also voted to give the College a Hall of Philosophy. Considering the fact, however, that at this writing no member of the Class has secured a position for next year worth more than live hundred dollars, while the majority have not secured any, it has been decided not to erect this building until about the time that the faculty shall evolve a sensible and equitable cutting system, which will give us all ample time to accumulate a fortune. Of the individual members of the Class little need be said. They speak for themselves. It may be mentioned, however, that during the course Hawley has steadily grown in laziness and Willis in numbers, while Beaver has directed the movements of all our class rows from the vantage ground of the Chapel entrance. Happy and care free have been the days which we have spent on our beautiful College Hill, and to them we will ever look back asthose which made up the best time of our life. Let us part with the determination to return at each Commencement and join in a re-union which shall strengthen the bond which has ever united the members of l99. N ever defeated in a Class athletic contest. never excelled in scholarship by any other class, exceeded by but two classes in numbers. with tanks never broken by discord, l99 shall forever stand preeminent among old Hamilton's classes.
