a Bethlehem kind. Incidentally, it is an interesting speculation as to whether the class supper, as an institution, was originally gotten up for the benefit of the students or of the numerous and sundry landlords of the Sun hotel, who glide on and off the scene with such bewildering rapidity. At present the modus operandi is this. The new landlord strikes Bethlehem in the fall. During the winter he makes enough out of the class suppers to pay his expenses out of town. And in the spring he avails himself of the possibility, leaving his cred- itors in the lurch. Next fall a new man appears. During the winter the classes are again victimized. And in the spring the creditors are again left disconsolate. But, dropping the discussion, socially the supper was a grand success ; and so was the episode which occurred on our way home. The class has reached lhat stage of its existence when, according to all tradi- tion, the careless, rollicking spirit of college life should be at its height ; but that tradition must have established itself before the days of technical colleges, for it certainly has little truth as applied to them. In a technical college the junior year means the separation of the class into seven or eight schools, whose members meet but rarely in a common recitation ; it means the personal su- pervision of every half-dozen students by a separate professor — a damper on the effervescence of fun, in the common acceptation ; it means the concentra- tion of work by each one upon his chosen profession, and the dawning upon the average mind of the fact that the reign of prompting, ponies and re-exam- inations will last but a year longer ; after which every one will have to stand on his own legs and fight his own battles, and in the light infantry at that. Accepting the situation, the class is bravely plodding toward the goal, looking forward unto the things which are before. The time has come when Lehigh expects more of her classes than a paltry half-dozen graduates. To say now that she will not be disappointed by the class of ' 84 is, perhaps, encroaching upon the duties of the prophet, but be assured it will be equally the duty of her future. Historian.
