The Blue and Gold. It has been a class fertile in originations, but far surpassed by the Junior class in the carry-out and go-ahead-ative department. Much that it has done has been owing to its being one of the first classes to enter a new institution, and has had a fresh field ever before it. Much that it has done has been original. Such as it is, it is. What it has been, all know. What it will be, God only knows. It hopes to leave a good impression on both professors and students. JOHN E. BUDD, Class Historian.

14 University of California. CLASS OF ' 74, ;HE Class of ' 74 commenced its career in the University Ij? September 20, 1870, with a membership ot fifty. Its course, now almost run, deviated but little from the ordinary. As a Freshman class, it was studious ; worked hard for high marks and obtained them. As a Sophomore, it was cham- pion of base-ball, organizer of the class union movement, took part in the origination of the University colors, class emblems, mottoes, and had a finger and sometimes a whole hand in all matters pertaining to the University. As a Junior, it was defeated in both base-ball and foot-ball by ' 75, afler several hotly-contested games, but still leads the van in beer and billiards, fighting well for high standing. As a Senior, it has been as lazy and indolent as its predeces- sors, not losing, however, its interest in athletic sports. As an experimental class, it has been quite a success and has furnished its quota to the list of instructors in the University. It will close its career by inaugurating the custom of holding class day. A cosmopolitan class, composed of men above the ordinary hard successful students composed of men of a good literary mind composed of poets, humorists, singers, bores, actors, athletes, sceptics composed of as good a wild set of fellows as most colleges can boast of; jolly fellows who have held their own in college scrapes and run a hard race. Some of its smartest men are its wildest, although many of the latter are not the former.
