goddess ftSoplzz'afl and approaching her in a great variety of ways; some in Natural Science, some in Philosophy, and some in Theology. , Butiwhile these seekers after truth were struggling labori- ously onward toward their various ideals, we are forced to admit that a few, thol we are happy to say a very few, were in the rest- ful, delightfully luxurious pursuit of the magnetic God of ease. They, forgetful of duty, without the adequate preparation will, I fear, find life a Herculean task. Our entertainment in class rooms has been nothing of which we can justly complain, but possibly a slight suggestion would be of some use: for instance, we all think it would be nice to have refreshments of some kind served from time to time just to reViVify our flagging energies, cool our heated brows and allow our strained muscles a brief relaxation, after say three-quarters of an hours hard wrestling with the forms of Aeschylus, or ex- cavating two hundred lines of the concise Tacitus, or after carefully, critically and analytically looking over the phenomena of mind, and especially, since during these llprocessesil or tlpsychosesll our minds or egos are Hundifferentiated continua? Indeed we Junors who are desirous of knowing more or less of the modern languages, do hereby petition the Board of Trustees to issue an order whereby full-fledged dinners will be served to those of us who are so unfortunate as to do battle with French at the eleventh hour, for the professor in charge is so highly pleased with our winning ways that he seems loath to part from us, and lengthens the entertainment far into the afternoon under such conditions. I fear our receptive faculties shrink away with remarkable rapidity, owing possibly to the fact that we are all ' good Visualizers and the most delightful visions of a rich appetiz- ing lunch appear to fill the whole room with their tempting ' presence. The professor as a material substance evaporates and his soft, dulcet, soporiferous tones seem iloating to us from far away. Either pity, realizing itself in a savory lunch, should come to the aid of this example of starving humanity or else we should be allowed to assemble at an earlier hour so that we might be able to dine with our various clubs. Hoping the Faculty will act upon this suggestion immediately in a session extraordinary, we ought next to acknowledge With heartfelt thanks the extreme kindness of the F aculty as a body. We really and truly appreciate the great amount of time they have devoted to us in striving to arouse some degree of interest in the cold, gray, somber, diihcult and often dry iields of knowledge which they represent. We feel so grateful to them that whenever we feel our interest lagging, and find our bodies,, thol seated in chairs, widely diverging from the' erect and ap- proximating the horizontal as nearly as the zig-zag frames of the Chairs will permit, we always feel so ashamed of ourselves after such evidences of our subjection to the carnal, that we invariably remain after the dismissal of the class and apologize, for we never like them to know how dry they sometimes become. Neither do we wish them to know how ' intensely enthusiastic they, at times, make us. Indeed, few outside our own number know with what flagging interest, wandering eyes and bodies curiously twisted we spur them on toegreater explanatory efforts. We sometimes fear that because we look out the windows, yawn, Stretch, pretend to be sleepy and recite with far away, tired expressions, the pro-
