formance for the trailing footed gait of the Homeric Blossom I Other incidents of that nerve-racking day we will forbear to relate, but we all breathed a sigh of relief when it was over. Now as Seniors we survey you, 1906, our elder brother. Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul! should have been good advice to you, but what have we to chronicle? Your paragons are no more paragons, your little gods have been knocked quite off their pedestals, yea, even the saintly forms of Robie the Rover and that youthful prodigy of the surname Shaw. Your idols are destroyed and you must bow down before the false gods of Prex and the graven images of him of the nine hundred and ninety-nine volumes of Rules and Regulations. 0 femjmra ! O mares ! that such things should be. K Seniors, and we would better call you martyrs, for assuredly you are such stuff martyrs are made of, the college will be better for your having been here, if it is only for the fact that you have drawn the ire of old jupiter on his Olympian Height, and the horrible punishments visited on you have calloused our minds and hearts in expectation of what is to come. But now let us dip our pen in the ink of kindness. It suits but ill to assume always a critical attitude. As your younger brother we may have seen many things in your conduct to poke fun at, but we would be lacking in a sense of humor if we did not see that such might well be true of us. So if in a cool moment you find your rocking-horse is not a Pegasus, do not be discouraged, but only sway the harder and some day, my dears, after you have quaffed at the Pierian spring, you may soar to heights yet unknown.
