Class of ’93. 25 1 HISTORY OF ,93.!X Such unfading interest does the story of the golden epoch of college days possess, that the present historian feels that an abler pen should have the task of delineating them. Especially interesting is the period we are called on to describe, for, it is in the Junior year that Science begins to unroll before the student her splendid panorama, and there enters unto him, ‘‘The fairy tales of Science, and the long results of Time. ” Gibbon, the atheist, said that history was little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind. Viewing the subject pessimistically, his statement may appear to be true, but the history of the class of ’93, correctly told, is a most convincing refutation. This is said, be it understood, not in a spirit of heedless boasting, but it is the conclusion reached after unprejudiced examination of the history of tho.se events and enterprises, which, during the past three years have received the most attention from the college. In politics, in society, in athletics, in the pursuit of knowledge, and in all the various occupations of college, not excepting “innocent amusements,’’ we stand preeminent. I11 the political revolution of this year, which resulted in changing the selection of anniversarian from the exciting method of balloting to the more peaceful one of competition before judges, '93, through certain of her members, took a most conspicuous part. In athletics, the record is one to be proud of. The hard-fought base ball contest last term for the championship resulted in our brilliant victory. The defeat which Emory college suffered last spring at the hands of the University nine is due largely to the work of the men ’93 contributed to the team.
