t History of 96 1 p V ' Q HERE has alieady been biiefly given two yeais of the history X P ., of the Class of '96 fiom which the public has doubtless de- X h , iived some idea of the gieatness of this class The duty now - 1 - devolves upon the histoiian to complete this naiiative, and i1', 'fu -,W 1 enable ieadeis of histoiy to follow this famous class, fiom its N 55.23 4 oiganivation to the time of its depaituie from the modest ' A walls of MG1C61SbLl1 g College We do not iecoid these biilliant achievements of our class simply that we may be ieinembeied as a class O1 t-hat any P2tlt1CLll21l membei should be iemembeied, foi we believe that each one of them xx 111, in aftei life, iise to even gieatei piominence in his vocation than that which chaiacteimes him now , and will accomplish that which will bring him far gieatei fame But we submit them as woithv examples of the iesults of energy and skill, and as incentu es to oui successois As the history of every piogiessive Olg3111ZELJE1Ol1 becomes biightei and giandei, as time advances, so the iecoid which we now buefly give of the achievements of the Class of '96 in this the thnd yeai of then woi 11, IS an account of then most biilhant and impoitant epoch We iegiet that space will not pe1m1t us to give a fullei account of oui class, but we aie suie that this brief nariative will be a souice of much inspnation to futuie students at M6lCQ1SbLl1U as well as of admiration on the part of all who iead it or 6 Although at the o eninff of school in September last a few of ou1 old f 1 membeis did not appeai, enough new ones weie added to inciease the class by half its original numbei, and it is now much larger than any class that has thus far been giaduated from Meiceisburg F1 om its unusual size, we might naturally expect to see in the class, won derful capabilities, remaikable examples of human skill and enei gy, seeking development along V3,110Llb lines But it piesents the many stiiking and ad mirable characteristics of human natuie to a much gieatei degiee than could be expected, merelv from num bei It piesents almost eve1 y phase of human greatness It is characteiived thiouffhout by that peiseveiinof eneigy, that compre hensiveness of mind that depth of thought, that breadth of experience and ..dmA1s...di1..4. 5, v ' 9 O E Q ,- 1 1 as gx 2 'N ff 1 L U 1 'I , X I 1 ' 1 X N 1 1 I X 7 A . 1 1 , .
