THIRD-YEAR EDITORIAL. K7 INDING it our duty to take pen in hand to record the passage of the Class of '97 through its 4 junior cycle, we pause to consider. On the whole the class seems to be making its annual revolution like a dignified planet, with the peculiar little wobbles and eccentricitics, it is true, which all heavenly bodies make in their course, but these only to avoid the dull flatness of uniformity. We do not compare its progress to the strange and wonderful path of a comet fiying triumphantly onward and leaving a trail of glorious light behind it. The class does not believe in unutilized capital and so carries all its light with it, finding plenty of profitable investments. The junior year is the first in which free-will gains a decided advantage over necessity, and the result follows that the hitherto undivided class is shattered into fragments by the force of indi- vidual preferences. In the required courses, however, where the class still presents an unbroken front, '97 still enjoys her oldtime unity and fights her battles ru zmrrsr. Thus it was she layed the ghost of History B-more or less tenderly-only to find it come up like the dragon's teeth of the legend, an armed host in the form of Political Economy. Thus, too, she placed a dog-eared slab, bear- ing the magic inscription, Syllabus, upon another grave, only to gain the opportunity of learning to what ill uses the alphabet may be turned. And, we confess, that in spite of the knowledge thus gained, she does not believe there is any fallacy in the course of reasoning that has led her to the conclusion that brief things are exceedingly lasting. Statistics are invaluable when authentic, as Poor Richard says, and so we have taken it upon our- selves to draw some interesting though scattering items from the class record by way of rounding out this little word concerning ,97. Midnight oil has risen in price over that of last year, owing, of course, to an increase in demand. Shares in the Library are quoted above par this term, due to a corner in the loan market. There was a decided plethora in History the first term. Daily redemption of themes stopped in january. Owing to a rise of Sophomores the ice-box is in the control of juniors. An increase in the demand for the alphabet is to be expected at the close of the term. B. 18
