From the time her members first met, she has presented in victory or de- feat, for good or bad, one solid phalanx of united brethren. ' While other classes by necessity, through dissension or unfortunate circumstances, have broken, scattered, and at the end presented but a sorry remnant of their former selves, ' 83 with members on the increase, her organization more per- fect and her unity more clearly apparent, still, with well-deserved pride, points out her history and in vain waits for a better to be placed beside it. In what has she not shown herself pre-eminent? Victorious at everything, save one contest, with the class above her. Victorious at everything with the class below her. Acting as she thought Freshmen should act and not as others counseled. Worsting the Sophomores at every point in the custom contests and placing that class in ridicule, she, in turn, held perfect sway over the Freshmen under her charge, and conducted them as her caprices moved her. Where is the class that can put itself in comparison with ' 83 in respect to intellectual ability ? What class can boast of so long a line of proficients in literature, science and arts, as that gracing the roll of ' 83. What class has developed such prodigies for some branches as are known to honor the pres- ent Junior class ? In fact, difficult would it be to find forty men as a class possessing all the good qualities with which our subject is endowed. For all this, she is very modest. She does not parade her great capabilities, neither does she deride those who are morally or intellectually below her. But gladly giveth she aid and information to all who ask. ' 83 ' s course is not yet through, and not till then can one with any perfection chronicle her achievements, and when that is carried out to fittingly do her justice, will call for the talents of him who is the historian of historians. 35
