FIRST-YEAR CLASS. | y E, the Class of ' 99, wish to thank the other mem- bers of the college for the delightful manner in which they welcomed us among them. Their cordiality has aroused in us a feeling of the heartiest good- will, and a determination to cherish their customs, and to hand down to future classes the sacred traditions revealed to us. As a class, we are not afflicted with that timidity formerly expected of Freshmen. We have taken our place in Barnard with a charming self-confi- dence, as is shown by the motto of our choice — Tpsiv .i ovh acji Iladdas AOr io . 77 Though rather few in numbers, we are lacking neither in zeal nor in a remarkable diversity of ideas on all conceivable subjects. The spacious apartment on the fourth floor devoted to our use has witnessed many an exciting discussion to decide for the glory of our Alma Mater all weighty questions which arise. This delightful variety of opinions merely adds piquancy to our intercourse, not in the least detracting from the loyal spirit which unites us. We have as yet no class cry, for we feel that the selection is one fitted to display our ability is a matter for deep meditation. But in our choice of colors, white and green, we show not only our aesthetic taste, but the courage characteristic of our every action. E M. 24
