As we glanced around us at our environments and those who were fated to be our classmates and associates, we felt that at last the acme of happiness had been found. On every side were faces beaming with health, beauty, youth, and intelligence. Especially youth'-it is a characteristic of Freshman classes. This brings us to the opening lecture. Doctor Scovel spoke for a short time in his usually brief and terse manner upon things in general, and college education in particular. We went away feeling that the Doctor was a man of immense learning and endurance. irVe were impressed by the sense of his greatness intellectually, and of our own general worthlessness. The latter impression soon wears off, however. The next day we started in upon our duties as students with a zest and eagerness that quite startled the Profs.. accustomed as they were, to iatlioming the gloomy abyss of the Soph. mind. This remarkable zeal pre- dicts a great future for the glorious class 'Ol. A lfew days after this. we were hospitably entertained by our genial President. and we had the much sought for opportunity of meeting our 23

classmates. AFreshman of three or four days standing is rather timid and shy. He seems to have a decided anthipathy to standing without some means of support, either the wall or some piece of furniture. He also is extremely self-conscious and seems to think he has too many hands. This uncomfortable state of affairs is aggravated by a certain nervous politeness that doubtless is the result of Prof. Kirkwoodsiifty-five minute lectures. Under his tuition our class will, in time, emerge from barbarism and attain a high degree of culture and civilization. This brings us to foot-ball. Our record is most enviable. Our aim was not to strive after distinction in the line of broken shoulders and noses, but rather, to play inoffensive, intellectual foot-ball. In this we flatter our- selves that we have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expectations. We defy the school to produce a man who can buck with the terrible ferocity of a Snyder. In looking over the Freshman row in Chapel, we cannot restrain our admiration. In the front row we see the haughty and impassive features of President Bailey, whose thrilling and terrible eloquence, on the night of his nomination, proclaimed the advent upon the political stage of a man whose towering intellect and imperious will was to dominate and determine the career of a great party. Farther back we see our orators, Demosthenes Corbett, and Cicero Cfebhart. Then we have Mr. Frame, who is a prodigy of learning. In the course of time, it is hoped, he will grow into his voice. Farther back is Mr. Doty, one of our intellectual lights, who has the brighest head in the class. Then we see the calm and serene countenances of Damon McCloskey and Pythias Pugh. In the next rows we see the beaming faces of Miss Pomeroy and Miss Arbaugh, who endeavored to reach distinction through the Dorm. windows, and Miss Ewing, whose tones are soft and dulcet as those of a Spanish Senorita. God speed the class of 1901 upon its careerg may the years which lie before her be filled with happiness and contentment, and when she has reached the goal may she, like the sun, gilding with splendor that which is past, flooding with light that which the mists and obscurity of the future now conceal, may she then depart gloriously and go out into the world to meet life's trials with fortitude and iight lifeis battles with heroism. 4
