honor of our departing Seniors, which thanks to the young ladies from ('Oliimhiis and Mt. V-----, was considered a perfect success. Never before had Philo held such a bevy of beauty and elegance as was assembled on the 13th of February last, in fullilluieiit of tin time-honored custom. Never Indbrc in the annals of college history has the faculty l een so completely outwitted as they found themselves to lx when the news reached their ears that “their confidence had lx en lxdxayed,” and that round dancing, that most forbidden of all forbidden fruits, had been so lavishly indulged in. Then was there weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth to think that Philo, that hall sacred to the gods and their own minds, had been profaned and desecrated in such a rueful manner, from the eflects of which it would never entirely recover. Since this festive occasion all has gone as smoothly as a marriage lx il. Our science and skill have ever brought us in the foremost rank, above all compe- tition, and then», by dint of courage and lalwir, we trust to remain, ever wearing entwined about our brows the laurel of victory. I nt to praise so highly our merits would seem possibly to some not acquainted with the record of our class but as conceit, while to those thoroughly up in our virtues it will lx evident that we underestimate mlher than overestimate our good qualities. We are modest and unassuming. Hut Ibr the benefit of the first mentioned class of individuals we will desist from recounting further our valorous actions. And now, dear Hiinnie. my task, say rather a pleasure, is ended. Our doings have been chronicled, as requested, and will now devote my leisure moments this evening to a letter more personal, which con- sequently greatly enhances its interest. First, pray tell me all tin particulars concerning Marie's wed—. Hut hark! Hilly is calling me to lead our Wednesday evening prayers; so you see that conflicting contingencies thwart my desires. Allectionallv yours, P. Q. Oamiiikk. May 8.

Should you see the class of 89 now, alter having seen her in 1 prime, you would with dilliculty recognize the remnant ot lur l‘»rm st rcngtli.

Gradually we are burying all class strifes and hostility and attempting to Income unbiased and unprejudiced in al actions. Our long-lived hostility toward '88, so nobly reciprocate has been gradually melting away, until now we have almost lost «-1 of the hatchet in its new-found grave. Now at last we are full Hedged juniors in our silkers and caiw promenading up and down the lnnilevards, dazzling with our hrilliaiu} the eyes of the ladies whom we meet hy chance (or otherwise).
