History of Ilineteen Hundred. As the Nineteenth Century closes her eventful career, it becomes the l'1iSfO1'l3.11,S duty to disclose what she has left behind as the climax of her achievements, and as a fitting monument to her glory. Did she project a new continent in some ocean? Did she create new stars, new planets or new suns to bewilder the imagination of coming centuries as a memorial to her greatness? Nay! she saw what far outshone in brilliance and splendor such trivial phenoimenag and so, endowing us with all the accumulated wis- dom ot her years, she leaves behind her the illustrious class of Nineteen Hundred. . All organizations which revolutionize the world and advance humanity have very small and humble beginningsg and though our class has ever promised greatness, we once were Freshmen. In the rushwith '99, long to be remembered by both classes, 1900 was successful to the last degree, in ample proof of which we carried canes during the Trinity term. V In athletic ability the class was never lacking, and the brawny arm of Nineteen Hundred has been constantly winning fresh laurels for the mauve. The record of our four years on tlhe hill is marked 'by victories and suc- cesses without number in every line and part of college life. But from the dignity of our Senior year, to record our achievements as bigoted Sopho- mores and as vain anfd ostentatious juniors, were too far beneath us. Now we are at the close of our college course, and soon shall leave the happy associations of undergraduate days. As a parting word, ere we launch our barks upon the restless waves of the busy world, we wish to say that the saddest day of our lives will be when we must sever those con- nections so dear to tlhe heart of every Kenyon man, the day which shall make us Alumni of the old school. The sweet memory of Kenyonian days shall always brighten our lives and strengthen us in our lifels struggle. Farewell ! -Historian. 23
