succeeded in attaining both of these is undoubted. Before the first month had expired, we had each individually developed a different set of rules for the interpretation and translation of English, French, German, and Latin. In fact, several of us are considering writing grammars of the subjects. To quote one of our professors: The originality of the excuses offered this year by the Freshman Class is unparalleledf' Another professor remarked: If all my classes were like my Freshman Class, I would stop teaching. This, we think, is undisputable proof of our intelligence. There is no doubt that we surpass all other classes in pulchritude. And no less a personage than the chairman of the Student Council is author of the statement that the Freshmen are the happiest College students. In short, we are the product of an age, the gift of the gods, as it were. In recognition of this we have extended to the Lipper classmen the full benefit of our superla- tive wisdom and counsel, hoping that, despite almost insurmountable difficul- ties, they may be raised to our plane of intelligence.
