fore the year had passed others were languishing for the green pastures from which thev were up-rooted. Doubtless some found a world in which the order of the day was work, the principal diet bread and gum, and the only pastime supervised play, too strenuous for their pampered tastes, and they returned home thoroughly disillusioned. Many of you, however, enjoyed yourselves greatly, as is shown by the interest you found in showing yours- selves a good time, even at the cost of ridicule from the natural enemies by whom you were surrounded, the ' swell-heads, ' ' sore-heads. ' ' bold-heads ' and ' cabbage-heads, ' as you called your upperclassmen and the faculty. You won for yourselves great notoriety by your aggressive spirit in organizing, taking precedence over the others in the matter of sidewalks and chapel decoration. Thus passed with joy, tempered by experience, the first year of your sojourn away from home.

Your ranks were much depleted, due to the stern sense of duty that led some into their immediate life careers, or into what they considered a wider field of learning. Your little but bighty band was headed by big, athletic, good-natured Ben. Then literary, happy-go-lucky, funny Becky, impulsive twins in close proximity; then studious, serious, base-ball Young. Next came mild, weighty Hendrix, with his clever imita- tions; round-faced, inquiring, talkative ' Dutch ' followed along, with your own pre-occupied, day-dreaming face bringing up the rear. Your mates have struggled manfully against fearful odds, and are promising themselves the complete fulfillment next year of their ambitions, formed during their three years ' sojourn on the hill. As for you — Ik- paused as the last grain slid down the narrow-throated g ' ass, and 1 trembled so that the chains with which I was bound clanged harshly on the floor. Presently I opened my eyes and gazed sheepishly into the face of my room-mate, who said that the last call for dinner had been sounded. 1 glanced at the floor and there I saw in a new light the sufferings of Jean Yaljean. as pictured by Victor Hugo, in my French book, lying open on the floor.
