Gouraud, Levy, Den- niston, Goodman, Weiser and Wheeler are aspirants for this honor, there are a numerous body who receive one or two votes, whose names we omit on grounds of public policy. Those who are fond of catching men in attitudes think Brown, arguing his point with the Professor, G. E. Hall trying to win the Professor, and Judson S., hurrying to catch the twelve-five train, are in their homeliest phases. VVe consider Reynolds the brightest man in the class, his vote doubling that of any other. Foster, Boltwood and Couse are tied for second place, while .Bosley, Whyte and Whittlesey COIUC third. Both Freemans, Montgomery, Hawkes, Lockwood, Bow- ers and Callahan receive votes--a sufficient nnmber to remove any doubt that brains can find a good home behind faces and features which are not fasci- nating. Fuller has impressed our class as possessing what Carlyle calls genius-an unlimited capacity for work. He receives twenty-two votes for the position of dig, far distancing all other competitors. Couse and Wright are tied for second place with ten votes each. Graves, Coulter, Marvin. Smith and Wheeler are also named. Bonsall and Denniston are well known as indefatigable toilers. Weariness can snore on flint, we prescribe to Weiser as an infallible cure for insomnia. We consider our class to be a regular cave of fEolus turned loose. Tyner's Kent Club reputation still dogs him, and he receives twenty votes for the windiest man. Adams, too, is almost a simoon, ren- dering beautiful places waste and uninhabitable, and

APPEARANCE. So many views of what handsomeness consists in are held by different members of the class, and the elements of beauty are divided, in small quantities for each, among so many of our class fthere being no one in whom they all eombinej, that there is great diver- sity in the opinion as to who is the handsomest man in the class. Durant, without any canvassing before- hand, received the greatest vote, with R. P. Freeman second. Levy, H. B. Freeman, Torrance, Bosley and Graves follow in the race. Blue-eyed Willie receives a vote or two, and Bowers' athletic fame brought him one admirer. Sherman, after a few necessary alterations, would seem handsomest to one, while another thinks that a Hash-light of Conlon, in the heat of debate, would surpass anything. One man suggests that if some modern Frankenstein could only have for materials Sherman's nose, Marvin's mouth and double chin, Moore's clear eyes, Dono- van's locks with a sprinkle here and there of Baum's, Levy's reach of forehead, and a complexion of the color of the back of Conlon's head, he could con- struct a very prepossessing creature. The proud vote for themselves. The number of men who are voted for as the home- liest is so large that it makes us hesitate concerning the impression we must make on those who are

Gouraud alone is close enough to be considered in the race, with Wheeler, Graves, Hayden, Baum, Tyner and Bowers visible in the distance. Cur esteem for Foster shows itself in the large vote of seventeen which he receives for the most popular man. Redington is second with seven votes. Donovan, Reynolds, Bosley and Durant are in the next group, with Freeman, Clark, Weiser and Bowers traveling as third class. No difficulty at all was experienced in selecting the one most select and generous in the matter of ap- parel. High collars, hunting stock, English patterns and low-cut, crescent-necked vests rendered Lord George prime favorite. He receives thirty-five votes, the most unanimous opinion we hold. Chrysanthe- mums and red neckties pierced with a diamond pin at the exact spot indicated by Vqgwc gives Buttle a vote of nine. A famous pair of Plymouth Rock trousers, accompanied by an equally famous pair of Douglas' Three Dollar shoes, snatched Marvin from oblivion, while Hayden's immaculate linen and creased jeans secure him some mention. Other fashion plates are Hawkes, Bonsall, Baum, Cromer, Sherwood and Jacques. The wary and cautious refuse to select the man whom they think will make the greatest success as a lawyer. H I don't know, Remains to be seen, etc., are their replies' to this question. Those who do
