and the retiring modesty of my classmates adds a protest against allowing confidential acquaintanceship to proclaim their individual virtues, or even their Christian names. But facts speak for themselves. Blackened paths of progress through hide-bound crvpts of learning have in the alchemic alembic of studious thought brightened into golden bauds of knowledge whose width and wealth a startled jiosteritv is to Ix-hold. A single genius has already applied modern physics to political problems and nullified election turmoil by devolving the presidential choice on an “electrical college.” The halls of eloquence have blushed to own a former attention to Toombs or Hill or Grady, and literary honors, the honest recognition of literary merit, have showered down at the majestic thunder of law class oratory. Though giant intellect can refuse to allow its bodily supj ort to stoop to physical contests, our class has not lacked athletic distinction; and when longer days and less arduous duties .afford opjwrtunities for the field, let com] ctitors hide out. Nor have the lawyers allowed themselves, nor been allowed 3 (2 by others at interest, t forget that a heart was of the anatomy of even a legal frame; ami maiden smiles and maiden blushes are the tell-tale records that betray attendance on Cupid’s court. But stronger than the bonds that bind even when Hymen forecloses Cupid’s mortgage on the heart arc the ties that have been woven here between man and man in the endless contentions over rights, wrongs and remedies. Silken in their softness, silver in their brightness, lmt steel in their lasting strength. That union is our crowning achievement and glory. Can these thirty-seven strong young souls, armed with the sage decrees of the Georgia legislature, hut escape the pulpit and starvation, the Scvlla and Charvhdis of the legal profession, deeds will doubtless be done that will cause the very sun in heaven to rise each day to view them anew, the stars to blink in wonderment over them, and the winds to sigh, and the clouds to weep in envv at them. But I transgress upon the prophet’s sphere, and with an apology for the harmless trespass I resign the function of Histoiman. )

fttstor of }Q baW (Jlass. T Unit, the infant, mewling and puking In the nurse's arms: Then the whining school boy, with Ids satchel, and shining morning face, creeping like a snail unwillingly to school. • • • And then the Justice, in fair round belly, with good capon lined, full of wise saws and modern instances.''— A You Like It. And thus Shakspenre lias summarized the history of each member of the Law Class f '93, leaving a blank of but one short year to be filled by their historian. (To present such an account of that brief period as will not do injustice to the fuller volumes of the future is an embarrassing task. To commit to the cold | age of history facts and feats welded together in our minds by the warmth of college com|xu»ionship adds increasing difficulty; and to approach, however modestly and reverently, the theme of the excellencies and achieve- ments of suc i a year and uch a class as this present with an ordinary pencil backed by an ordinary mental motive power, seems nothing short of sacrilege. Mr. Shakspeare evidently shirked the job himself.) When Miss September, surnanied 1892, found herself called upon to execute the long-standing decree of fate and crown the career of the old University by assembling the goodly com-|ttnv that now meets from day to day in the building crowned with the ivy wreath, conscious of the weight of her charge, she seems to have picked over the great United .States in the search for the little us. Of far California was demanded her Chief Justice (of the peace), the universities of Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama gave their best talent. Ploughshare was ruthlessly stopped, counting-house and emporium of trade closed, family circles broken that she might properly execute this, her chief life-work. Thirty strong she left us. One son of her choice, a worthy brave of the lodge, has fallen by the way, but we rejoice to add, into an editor’s easy chair; and eight others have been summoned to take his place.
