Zbc Clemson doilCQC Chronicle. Valeat Quantum Valere Potest. Vol. II. Clemson College, S. C, June, 1899. No. 9. literary department. W. FLOWERS WALKER, Editor. TO THE CLASS OF ' 99. Comrades we ' ve reached at last the cherished goal Of our ambitions. Now all doubts and fears Have vanished. Nought remains save memry ' s scroll, The mottled tombstone of departed years. Years that have trailed their tranquil lengths along, Leaving their imprint on our hearts and minds ; Years that have linked in lasting nearness strong Truth, Hope, and Love with all that wisdom finds. In reminiscent mood we pause and think Of days that are no more, and try to scan The future, standing on the very brink Of that which separates the boy and man. Here in the twilight of our college lives, ' Tis but the dawning of our graver days, While yet the flickering, fading ray survives, We can but look above to find our ways, Full ninety strong a sturdy Freshman band, We left our homes this long hard race to run, But now alas, a sad sixteen we stand To watch the setting of our college sun. As brothers we have known the selfsame cares, Like brothers we have shared our little joys, Thus on thro ' life the cycled lapse of years Will bind in manhood ' s strength the hearts of boys.

402 THE CLEMSON COLLEGE CHRONICLE. We ' ve reached the point where preparation ends, That point where life commences true and real. Then have we kept good faith with loving friends ? Have we prepared ourselves for woe or weal ? Let records speak ! It is not meet that we Should be the critics of our class and name, Let records speak that those who hear and see May write the full just measure of our fame. Now as we part to seek divergent ways, Let ' s drink a health in love ' s delicious wine, A toast to fiiends and sweethearts, and all praise To Clemson College and to Ninety-Nine. W. Flowers Walker, Class Poet. Address to the Class of 1899. DELIVERED BEFORE CALHOUN SOCIETY. In addressing my remarks to the class of 1899, it is with regret that the time is not far distant when Clem- son will have to say to you Good-bye ; but it is with pleasure that we can rejoice with you in the fact that you are going to enter upon the duties of life with bright futures and brilliant prospects. Commencement in life for you has come. The Twen- tieth century is destined to furnish a field in which you can work. During your day there will probably be wrought out a more general and vital change in the condition of man. The world is enlarging in every di- rection and to whosoever will, are offered splendid op- portunities. Though there is a world wide meaning between the phrases whosoever will and who soever simply wishes. One expresses self determination ; the other only lazy desire. For the last one hundred years, we may say, there has been a constant and rapid growth in politics, in com- merce, in the arts, sciences and education. Much work
