torp of Class of 1905. J—I—IS difficult indeed, and almost impossible for one to write an unbiased history whose, annals arc concerned with one’s most intimate companions. The writer does not purport to unduly laud the Class of 1005 in relating B the most important events of its development from the embryonic Freshman. Vet it is not his purport to leave untouched those characteristics— whether good or bad—which are inherent in the Class. Temperance, perseverance, learning, and dignity arc by common decision its underlying features. Temperate in all things save perseverance—which is an enviable trait—and by its perseverance that strong longing for wisdom has been duly recomj)cnsed. Its dignity is not one of calmness or stiffness, but is quiet and unassumed. In short, a class of men who abide by the maxims of true advancement: first for bettering themselves and next their co-workers, sometimes at a personal sacrifice. These are the characteristics which distinguish the Class of 11105, and well it would be if those classes which are yet to follow would imitate these praiseworthy qualities. We all remember, when we were Freshmen, the first day we entered the old Chapel and saw what a big tiling the Freshman class really was: we all remember the delight we found in pinning such placards on the backs of our fellows as “I am a Freshman: kick me ; we remember how we climbed the tower as high as any Freshman bad ever gone, and other pranks that Freshmen take delight in. W e have done all these things, and more. W e are tempted to go still further and sav what we arc going to do, but this is our brother-prophets' duty. The faculty looks at this great class, fashioned to a great extent bv their unselfish and excellent instruction, and arc well pleased, and it is needless to say that every man of this class is bound to each professor by the tics of love and reverence, and is deeply grateful for his rich and wholesome instruction. As the Class of 11105 goes out into the world to cope with its vicissitudes, each man is fully equipp'd, and no doubt much success awaits each and every member of the Class of 05. Historian.
