THE SALMAGUNDI OF IQII Senior l'listory The history of 1910 cannot be confined to the printed page. Our real history is graven on our memories and can be known only to him who has formed a part of one of the little groups of Seniors, as before the glowing fire or around the student lamp, they have reviewed the gay, the serious, and the sad chapters of the four years life at Colgate. It is only under the mystical spell of such a gathering that Mercury, Delta Delta, Sidney,l' and Craw's Castle are the open Sesamel' to treasures of class lore. These are the memories which will remain in our hearts, will inspire us in life, and will be renewed year after year as we return to the college halls. Other Sails have told of our valor in Salt Rushes, in Interclass Foot- ball, Basketball, Baseball, and Track. They have told, too, of our Mercury banquets, of the hand car, of the barber pole and watch, of Pincus and his visitors. As Seniors we turn naturally to a consideration of how much our class history has contributed to the history of the college. A hundred strong we came to Colgate at the time when the college was entering its broader field of activity, and we have had the privilege of hearing the name of Colgate referred to with respect and honor as inter-collegiate affairs have been discussed. We have seen our athletic teams bring us honor for victories won, because of defeats well taken, and because of clean, sportsmanlike conduct. When we entered Colgate, debating was a forgotten art. We formed a Freshman team and debated Syracuse. As Sophomores we met them again in Crouse College. As Juniors we felt it proper that we should be formally recognized as the college team and as such we met ltocliester and Union in regular intercollegiate contests. As Seniors we were instrumental in the formation of the Union-Hamilton-Colgate Triangular Debate League and found time to win from Syracuse! besides, In the history of Colgate we have had our part and we are glad if by our work in the various activities of college, we have been able to repay a little of the debt which we Owe to our Alma Mater. During the past four years the various college organizations have im- proved and been placed on a solid financial footing. Our publications have received a heartier support and have been able to exert a stronger influence for the good of the institution. As the days draw near when the class of 1910 must graduate we would pay tribute to the men who have been our inspiration and our guides, and we rejoice that for one year we have known the leader who has come to us and who will be our president, we trust, for many years to come. n 26
