lqiztnrg uf Svminr Gilman ,, , Four long years ago while King still reigned over Cornell, about one hun- dred ordinary, green freshmen arrived upon the campus and entered upon their scholastic training. The faculty and upper classmen undertook their develop- ment and have given very valuable assistance throughout the years. Whether they, as a class, have always been considered harmless or favored is an unanswered question. Certain it is, however, that their simple functions, such asa banquet at Stanwood and a picnic at Abbey Creek called forth no severe discipline or undue comment. Their entrance into college was peaceful, occasioning no such affair as a tug of war, and peaceful has been their residence. But to he called peaceful or even harmless cannot in their case he considered a disgrace, since everyone knows that great work is often done quietly. They boast no wonderful achievement as a class. They leave no conspicuous monu- ment upon the campus. But filed away in the dusty alcoves in Rooms VII and VIII of College Hall are some huge volumes, upon whose pages are recorded after some names, alphabetical hieroglyphics of the first order. The class of 1910 contains scholars who are an honor to their Alma Mater. Twice have members of this body won honors in oratorical fields at home and one conquered in the state contest. They have sent out debaters who have also returned home laden with laurels. . In every college activity they have contributed winning men and women and since history repeats itself the records in the years to come will only ful- fill the past and present expectations. YELL. Who? What? Which? Wlieri? Don't they know? Tell them then! We are-we are Nine-teen-ten!
