:) TJIE jn IO !; - In a word — for far behind his worth Come all the praises that I now bestow — He is complete in featine and in mind, With all good grace to grace a gentleman. It is with the utmost pleasure that I realize that sophomoric boister- ousness has followed freshmau timidity into the dark vale of the past. No longer do I exert all my energy in concocting dreadful schemes against the weaker children or make their blood curdle by tales of kid- napping and bridge destruction in days of yore; no more arrayed in scarlet and in blue do I carry arms until I drop with exhaustion all the sooner because I know that a freshman corporal ranks a private of two year ' s standing. Dim and faint arc the days when shop work consisted in carrying coke for the blast furnace and survey parties toiled on through snow storms. No longer does the linguist perfunctorily ponder over Aristophones Avhen the Sanscrit alphabet would have been prefer- able as regards marks. I began my year of retinement as a chaperon to the Babes. I possibly become a lieutenant. Do I practice in the gymnasium ' ! Ye gods, no ! It would callous my hands. I toil with my brain, not with my arm. If my previous years were spent in line discipline I now Bohn in earnest. I enjoy the soirees at Sage. My words are concerning tbc glide and matters of like weight. I wander in the gorge. I ride over the liiils. I sail upon the bosom of beautiful Cayuga with the fair ones. The lunches are pleasant and the balls are grand. All seemed serene; but ere long I learned that an early recitation was an abomination. I hear of the Woodfords which plow furrows in the brow of man and am told of caucuses and elections, requisites of the next year. I read of the mer- maids and pray that sometime I— too, may be a maid. Yet, why should these trifles so sorely grieve me ? I still make my debts, not the money to pay them, and matrimony is a term yet to be learned. 21
