Sergeant-at-Arms. fl History of the Class IC No chronicler has yet encountered a more diflicult subject than the history of 1902. To bring order out of chaos, to explain the wherefores, to mingle judiciously with 'the tales of our deeds the customary self-congratulating pats, the boomarangi- cal bouquets, the sentiment, the wit, the philosophy, and the profundity, which the occasion demands, with some explanation necessary to put us before the public in a true light, and tactfully omit those parts that should be left unsaid, give to the Whole credence, express it in faultless English, in the space alloted this Chronicle- chaotic indeed, obviously impossible. In this case We will follow a rule which we have always before found good and which is more often practiced than preached, When you can't go through, go around , and thus in time we will arrive at the same Climax. .
