Tllriee our whole :irrny was threatened with eqmplete annihilation, hut our desperate valor knew no hounds, and at last. with shouts of vietory, the lfreslnnan works were gained. Then the excessive heat of summer :necessitated n truce. and we went into camp until Sl'llll'Il!lJl'l , when our little army. with diminished ranks. hut with knowledge and eontidr-nee gained from our former victory. renewed the attack. The enemy renlizrrl now that they were dealing with tried soldiers and opened :r still more deadly tire upon us, hotly contesting every inch oi' ground. Yet they were forced to yield in the !':u-v of our dn-t--rmination and with the loss of hut few men the Sopho- IIIOTCS W'El l' UUYS. Another truer- followed, and'then another year of hard fighting. With two years of experience belxinluls we gayly and confidently stormed the Junior works. Sliukespenre, Hiltory, Astronomy and Political Economy were hurled at as with deadly accuracy, striking down a few of our nuxnlwr, hut lla- majority were left unharmed. Soon the works were captured. and. lluslied with victory, we again went into camp to tal-le a much rim-rleii rm till a renewal of hostilities. Septeuiln-r lkuuui us ready and eager to begin our last charge upon the Senior works. Scarred and worn with the hattlcs ol' former years, hut with uiinils undimmed and purpose nndaunted, we quietly and with dignity took ilu- lit-ld. The murderous volley ot' the enemy left us almost uns:-uthed. 'l'ri1uuphantly we took possession of the Senior works, amid the clit-ers ol' our friends and even of our magnanimous enemies, and with shouts of vielory sc-ized our diplomas. ' OUT first gr-'ut struggle is over and, with feelings of regret, wg part to begin new struggles. What Voltaire said of Marlborough may be said ol' us: 'I'hey never besieged u fortress which they did not capture, nor fought a battle which they did not win. May this be true of us through- out life. and may our battles with the world be bravely and nobly won.
