Yes, Virginia, people procrastinated even way back then. In seventy-five years things haven't changed so much. You still see beards on campus, and the courtship process is as active as in '94 when courting was carried on quite extensively . . . and many of the boys got their wives here. There have been a few pleasing innovations like the raising ofskiit lengths, drive-in theatres, air- conclitioned classrooms, and Bo McMillan and john Pont. But the peoplwthe students, the faculty, the administration-are basically the same. The 1968 Arbutus may have colored pictures instead of wood- cuts, but the Hu'-flung University community of today will cher- ish the book as a souvenir of the happy years spent at the uni- versity, just as the handful of students and faculty did in 1894. And so we of the 75th anniversary Arbutus feel, as the editors of the original felt, if we teach anybody something he didn't know before, or if we coax a smile into the sad face of one poor soul, we will feel well repaid for all our toil.

The Academic Life Rahl Rah! Rix! Up to tricks! Eighteen hundred and ninety- six! It's a long haul from that first composition fyou slaved for hours and still got a CJ to the final time you chime in with the class yell. In that last long processional you think back on all the tedious hours spent studying and dozing in the library fthe warm fireplace didn't helpj and wonder how you ever made it. The senior of 1968, though his tricks might be called boresses, probably feels those same melancholy pangs as the grad of '96. The modern student has waded through more blue books and consumed less Latin than the student of the 1890's fthough beer consumption should compare favorablyj, and there may be no official class yell designated in the yearbook fwoulcl you believe 'AWe're not humble! We're too great! Nineteen hundred and sixty- ei ht! J. aut there is still that senior pride in the best class ever,', and the boasting won't subside when a high-rise library ushers in a new group of seniors. Even if the heaters did whine, the has- beens reason, the old place had more atmosphere. Old Library Fireplace Graduation Procession-1909
