f PEI- EPJIOI t:- Taffeta phrases, silken terms precise Three pil ' d hyperboles, spnice affect ation; O, never will I trust to speeches penned, Nor to the motion of a school boy ' s tongue. Having buffeted the billowy unduhitions of a college existence, and escaped the wily machinations of that universal category of industrial society cognizant to unsuspecting students as hasihiers, I have attained to that exalted sphere so renowned in chants and legends, seniorichood. Cast your lustrous orbs where I rear my supercilious front. In the circumambient atmosphere cling the aureate clusters of austere and mature pensiveness, so patronizingly affected by seniors. I may loudly vociferate in the outburst of divine enthusiasm. O, happy the day that discerned me enroll my vernacular nomen upon the scroll of his in- stitution of learning — a scroll which will endure as long as Epicurian principles which perograte these terrestial areas. Felicitous the Tobolsinian columbfe, who ventured forth to succor the Mancheagan lion. While I stand, a stupendous monument to human exertion, exemplifying the prerogatives of the mortal intellect, it be- hooves me to confess that my condition was not always flanked by such inordinate subordination. Tempus erai when I was intimately asso- ciated with plebeian fabrications. Mirable dktu, I possessed the yearn- ings of a dextcrlineal descendant of Balaam ' s terrorizing asinus. Silken pennants wafted to boreal depression, effervesced with this pro- mulgation J usque ad victor iam persevera. Success rewarded my efforts, and here I stand on the vespers of a momentous crisis, evanescing from these halls of culture. I relinquish my iudividualism to which an immaculate soul has attained, and thus encourage on the Chaldean hosts which follow in my wake. 17
