It seems hni yesterday that we left oiir homes amid tears and farewells from those ' we loved and endiai ' keil upon the sea (d life to he hnfl ' etteil here and tlieie, knowing not to what port we would be ilri ' eii by storms of adversity. Little did wt know (if those who have so faithfidly directed our course, and tin- der whose guidance we steered wide of those shoals on which so many less for- tiimite than we have foundered. The historian takes no note of onr pre-collegiate life, for that dates to the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, btit only those facts to which we can testify are here chronicled. Onr college life dates. a]ii)roximately, from the year 1 ' .MI4. We were then a verdant mass of hiunanity, known in college as dues, but it was only for a jjcriod of nine months that we bore this humiliating title. We soon proved to our would-he superiors otir ability to work our way from duchood to a higher and more exalted ]diase of life in which the Sojihomore deems himself lord of all he surveys. As Sopjliomores, we, of course, felt oui ' im|iortance, and, smarting under the humiliation to wliicdi we had been subjected the year before, we often gave vent to our feelings by a]i])lying the ])addle on the helpers and imoflending due. We passed the stage of Sophomores, reflecting no dishonor on our prede- cessors, but bearing our honors thick upon us we entered a still higher stage known as the .Junior Class. 28
