Since then many tilings have happened. We shall leave it to yon to decide if we have made any progress. We are proud of our record as Freshmen and as Sophomores, for we managed in both years to conquer our rivals. If you do not remember our doings, look back at our history of the past two years. Now we are through all these trials and tribulations. W e have reached that enviable position of upper class-

men. How we used to wish we were there! Yet now how little different it seems from the other days. We study more perhaps and possibly do less “rough-housing” ; yet we are still the same boys, always ready for a good time. Our numbers, which were nineteen on entering, have lessened only by two. However, this does not show the changes that have taken place in our class, for we have lost six members and have added four others. Most of these belong to the disreputable civil engineering class, while the others are divided among the other courses. We have not shone brilliantly as scholars, for we have thought too much of good times and class scraps. Per- haps, however, we have managed to come out on top of the heap so far ; and we hope finally at the end of one more year to receive that for which we are all striving — a degree. In our three years at Rhode Island we have had many pleasant times. We have had our class feeds and gatherings that lasted far into the morning. We have often made “Tip” angry by gathering in one room and making a racket when we should have been studying cal culus. We have had pie-eating contests and cocoa sprees, and trips to Wakefield and the Pier; yet through it all we have managed to find a little time for college work. We have had such rare good times that we often regret there will be only one more year of this grand fellowship. Some of us, our president for instance, will be both pleased and disappointed. We shall be sorry to leave the boys, but we shall have other company to take their place. What we shall all do when we get through is a question. We expect that the civil engineers will become famous as builders of bridges, tunnels, or roads. We have two men with us who are sure to become great at fooling with wires and getting shocks. Two skillful farmers are likely to result from the effects of the four-year course ; and, as for chemists, we have one decidedly shining light who we all feel confident will prove an exceptional mixer of chemicals. Most of the men whom we have lost are finishing their education at other colleges situated the world over. We wish them success. What we have done for our Alma Mater in no way compensates us for the good she has done us. Our hope is that the achievements of some of our members will reflect glory on the fame of R. I. C.
