Tlie following- spriuL;; tlie class ag-aiii distint;uislied itself athletically. The i )03 crew, sent dnwu td Ithaca in the ahsence of a second varsity crew, finished a hot sec ind to C jrnell and beat out a Harvard ' varsity eig ' ht, which was a little something outside of the (ordinary for a freshman crew to do. Such confidence was vested in the freshmen by this event that most of the members of the crew, and a few others who were not, had to walk from this city to their homes after the race on the Hudson that spring-, in which Syracuse finished second. There was another epoeli making;- event that spring also. The arch- demons of the university, at that time, ])lanned a banquet to be held outside the city, away from the clutches of the police. Such things do not happen often and the splendid opportunity was not overlooked that time. Oh ! liut there was something doing. As a result, the place where the banquet was held looked like a fresh omelet at dawn the next day. It took three days to clean ofi: the stains on the outside of the Tavern on that occasion and three years to remove those from the honor of the rival class. It would be saying too mucli to narrate the way in wliich the first year students again cleaned up around the campus on that occasion of all occasions to the freshmen — Moving-Up day. The following year the class looked to something else than athletics and affairs of the Tavern order. It began to dabble in the social whirlpool on the hill. This was a step in advance. The only Sophomore cotillion on record was held during the fall, and it was a huge success. Following that event, the thoughts of the members turned toward the organization of class societies, with a social object in view. They sprang up like mushrooms and flourished, too, until the upper classmen issued an edict wdiich made them look like copper and steel stock during the early days of December. That same fall saw the decline and fall of the band hops. Thus the class has been pushing to the front for four years and it is now- approaching the pinnacle of its success. With diminishing numbers it has scaled line after line in the long series of defenses around the stronghold of knowledge. With dei)leted ranks it is now ])reparing for the final grand assault.
