: V -- ; argcT w 1912 ; The Class of 1913— Sophomores By way of preamble, we acknowledge frankly that, in spite of our seeming handicap, we, the class of ' 13, are not fatalists, but, on the contrary, of essentially hopeful disposition, and consequently, liable to the charge of undue optimism in the following discourse. 1 low- ever, gentle reader, we beg of you to take into consideration our truly admirable and praiseworthy character, and judge accordingly.
