imagination, and cannot concei e history to be other than a record of tlie past. There is, tlierefore, nothing with which to entertain you but a record of dried up facts which liave long ago lost all essence of interest, and which, when read, would furnish ou with pleasure of an infinitesimal order. While for us, bent upon the future, and with scrutinizing care seeking to reveal for ourselves what is in store, there can be no more pleasure in writing the dead past than for you in reading. In closing, and by the fact that we close, we expre.ss to j ' ou f)ur apprecia- tion of your forbearance and our hope of revealing to you at some future time the hundred-fold increment of 95 ' s man}- talents. We enter upon a fu- ture as dark for us as for any, yet with a confidence in the training of our Alma Mater which shall .serve as a basis for the superstructure, and with such all-in.spiriiig words as the.se to act as a beacon upon our wa} ' ever present — Look not niournfully into the Pa.st. It comes not back again. Wi.sely improve the Pre.sent. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future without fear, and with a manly heart. Historian.
