sports we were well represented last year, and our prospects in this direc- tion for the next season are certainly bright. Oar boat crew last year made a showing very creditable to themselves, although we confess that the grounds for the self-assurance displayed by some of them previous to the race were certainly unstable. After passing our final Freshman examinations, we showed a spirit which was certainly eminently suitable to Sophomores in a larval state. Our Freshman Supper was in every respect a success ; and, on that occa- sion, the literary ability of our members displayed itself in such an unmis- takable manner that acquiesence in the prognostication that success and honor could but be showered upon us was inevitable. Owing to the fact thai our numbers have not increased as they should, but rather have had an opposite tendency, our achievements during the past few months have not been what otherwise might have been credited to us. As a matter of course we gave the Freshmen what they call a vic- tory with rope pull ; but how much greater was the glory in winning the foot ball contest, when, although meeting a host of twice our number, by hard and plucky fighting we forced the enemy back, and, in time, com- pletely routed them. Notwithstanding Chance and Luck are two lieutenants who have never at- tended us, by our individual efforts, with that unity, energy, and indomita- ble will which has always distinguished us, we have gained the fair record so familiar to you all. And, basing our estimate upon this, we can but allot to. our class a future far brighter, far nobler, far more illustrious than pen can well describe. 29
