X X X THE CLASS OF 1900. ond memory lingers over our recollections and reminiscences of all the classes we have known but especially over those of the class of 1900. lt was a promising class, this class of 1900. It is so much easier to promise than to perform. What they promised, like the lVIikado's orders,Ewere just as good as Dunn, so when t'was Dunn it was Well it was done quickly and easily. Peace has its victories no less than war, and it was in peace- ful victories that this class shone with unwonted brilliancy.
