the danger from ire was very great. But this, too, was remedied in a very short time when the Stephens Stack Room was built. The dedication of that building meant another off-day for us. The Freshmen of to-day can consider themselves as very fortunate in that they are no longer required to keep the Sophomores and Upperclassmen sup- plied in water. Every evening it was the usual stunt for the Freshmen water brigade to carry water from the chapel pump to the dormitory. Nor was it uncommon, but rather unpleasant you will agree, to get up out of bed at some unearthly hour and rush the can for one whom we did not then care to disobey. Wlith the installation of the Water System this custom, too, soon became a memory. But perhaps the greatest change of all is the one which stands unique in all college story. In our early days the students were a little careless of their behavior. College ethics, as we knew them, gave a hearty sanction to the nu- merous Upartiesn which were then held. To be a good fellow one had to be in on all such affairs. That our class seemed to be pretty well supplied in the jovial, good-natured sort of fellows would appear quite evident were it possible to look over the faculty minutes. A few of them were unfortunate enough to be numbered with the worthy band upon whose misdeeds the Honor System in the matter of drinking on college property was inaugurated. VVhat is the matter with this pipe! A little more tobacco Freshman! As I remember we have had the opportunity to meet a number of very prominent men since we have been in college. Besides the immortal Mark, there is a long list of men, leaders in the church, state and business world, the majority of whom are Kenyon Alumni. Last commencement the Governor of Ghio was on the Hill. And in our last days we have been permitted to shake hands with the most talked of man in the world, the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Another match Freshman! Let me see 5 how many men did we have upon entering college? Fifty! That was considered a big class then. iXVe still have twenty-twog and this is noteworthy in that it makes possible the proud boast: That Kenyon has in this year reached the high-water mark in the matter of attendance. Was that one o'clock that just struck? Sorry l must break off here. But we have a rehearsal this afternoon of the 'iTaming of the Shrew which we will give as our Senior play. To learn more about the class, it is only necessary to look over the individual record of its various members. And it's a 'lpipeu if the members of 1906 do as well out in the world as we have done at college we certainly will receive the well-done which has been the reward of every good, loyal Kenyon man.
