Farewell. FAREWELL, ye classic halls. Once more a company of sturdy sons And daughters fair will leave thy loving doors, Just as the flood of yonder river runs, While other, following waves fill out its shores. Farewell, ye sombre walls. Beneath whose stern yet kind protecting shade The lamp of knowledge glows with rising fl;ime, Gains in brilliance from onward grade to grade. And glory gives to many a famous name. Farewell, } ' e ancient groves, Where, seeking ea,se from learning ' s ardent blaze. The student finds the damsel of his heart, While through the leaves the wanton moonlight plays And Cupid slyly flies his poisoned dart. Farewell, ye pleasant fields, Where many a contest ' s lost and gained. Where many a lasting record ' s made, Where many have praised and many complained. And man - a last hard game has been played. Farewell, ye earnest men. Whose life ' s fond purpose is to guide aright ; Nor do they spare themselves, nor miss their goal, — To keep the light of learning trimmed and bright And .send its keen refulgance to the soul. Farewell, ) ' e worthy fellows, Who with us oft have striven, — even won. And with us, too, have braved the day of wrath. Too soon our pleasant comradeship is done ; Each now must tread his own peculiar path. Poet. ' 9

History. « fS THE concluding chapter of the history of our college career has been demanded, so we must write. As for the narrative itself, we realize that it can contain but very little outside of the daily events of the class-room, and these would convey but little meaning to those unconcerned. Uneventful as our past year has been, — in fact, as later years generally are, — we have the unalloyed pleasure of looking back over three successful years, unmarred by defeat from any quarter, significant of ability apart from excellence in the class-room, that feature which especially characterizes our Senior life. While our actions as Seniors have been free from that boisterous — underclass expression — class spirit which cannot fail to attract the attention of the public eye, we have not become fossilized nor by any means insusceptible to the pleasurable part of college life. Caps and gowns have been, indeed, a conspicuous feature of the many social events of the past few months. And in this connection we need only to mention the reception given us by our Senior girls to bring back to our minds one of the most enjoyable occasions in our whole college life. In point of numbers our class is rather unevenly divided, but skill and tact in the management of the entertainment rendered the event the success that it was. A detailed account of the reception would require a larger page than this ; suffice it to say that it has claimed for itself a permanent place among the most cherished memories of our course. But we must not confine ourselves merely to the mention of the pleasurable events of our later college days. We do not wish to give the impression that pleasure has been our chief concern, when it has really occupied so little of our attention. During these last few months we have begun to look upon the serious, the practical, side of life, trying to find means by which we can make application of the training which we have received. Indeed, some of our brighter stars have begun to shme already, and we as a class are flattered to hear and read that certain of our numbers are enlightening the public mind with eloquent discourses on the most popular topic of the day. That war was a good thing in more ways than one. It would probably add interest to our brief narration if, looking forward, we could speak of the good time that is coming : our class banquet, our class day, our graduation day and all that that means ; and that sad time of parting that is to follow. But we dare not intrude upon the province of the prophet, .so we will take this opportunity, at the close of our written history, to say a reluctant good-bye. Historian. iS
