Sail Vt N 1bistorx3 of '99 Q OW that we have reached the top of the college hill, we are content for a time rather to sit in quiet and look wisely and with dignity back upon the steep path that we have climbed, than to peer forward over the brink that lies before, and to contemplate the depths of the world's Freshmanhood into which we are about to descend. When we stop to think of it, we must admit that we have done many things that we ought not to have done, and have left undone many of the things that we ought to have done, among them the proof- reading of our AEGIS, and the payment of certain little bills, but on the whole we have accomplished more than might have been expected of such an aggregation as ours. We have furnished the college with some of its best men in the various departments of athletics 5 we Sent our volunteers when the war broke out, and we have succeeded in getting rid of Spear. I9

We are now prepared to lay aside sectional feeling and to give fatherly advice to Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen alike, for we well know that in the short space of six months it will be our unpleasant lot to keep our mouths shut and to take advice from others. Beyond the college hill there arises a mountain for all of us to climb. Some of us will fall by the wayside, no doubtg but it is our hope that the unflagging, unconquerable spirit which has ever been the heritage of Dartmouth men, will inspire us to that endeavor whose result is success.
