THE GAlt .VET. jiistory of ’SO. F ’89 it is the historian’s chief delight to talk. Even its rivals V 7 admit that whatever ’89 has undertaken has been carried through with enthusiasm and success. College traditions have received a new charm and impetus under its magic touch. I am not speaking from a desire to extol my own class beyond its mer¬ its, or for a foolish toadying after popularity, but because I believe what I say. ’89 has its faults, but it undoubtedly has excellent material, and this fact is tacitly acknowledged by the other classes. There is no need of argument from the historian to establish their precedence. They may not be able to boast of many crones in their ranks who are piling up the ten spots. They may, indeed, be obliged to confess that many of their number are vainly en¬ deavoring to pile up the six spots. But we are not ashamed of this, knowing that ’89 is overflowing with healthy boyish spirits, con¬ ditions that foretell for manhood a sound and well balanced mind in a healthy body. We are not ashamed, knowing that it is out of just such material that brave and useful citizens are molded, and that is by no means an infallible rule that those who pile up the ten spots and win the prize in college, score all the ten spots and win all the prizes of life. Besides ’89’s peculiar spirit and enthusiasm, let 11s just glance at her success in college. Pray, what would the glee club do but for’89? What would become of the foot ball team? Of the base ball nine? Nay, would there be such a thing as a field day? I predict not. And what would poor Wiencke do? Verily I say he would move out of town. Athletics would go to the dogs. Music would fade from the classic halls of Union, and its old gray walls would cease to ki ring with thy children ' s chorus.” Hazing would degenerate. Condition would be a thing of the past.
