Prospectus IjOOKING back over the ages we find that now and then the entrance of some one man upon his career has marked an epoch in history. What is to be the effect when this class of nineteen hundred steps into the world? Judging from the college record, we may venture a few predictions. Peaks King, whose grandeur of appearance and awe-inspiring presence are rivaled only by the peaks of the Himalayas, is soon, with the support of the mighty Persian, to establish an empire. Judge Walsh is to be Chief Justice. Now the Law, precise and well defined, contrary to vour expectations, will be no insignificant affair; nevertheless, in this well-governed empire vou need expect little disturbance of the peace and the Judge will be hard put to it to find employment for himself. But he is not to be outdone. From Aris- tophanes ' Wasps ' he has lately gained valuable suggestions, and the trial of the house-dog made such an impression upon him that we would advise our watch-dog Growler Robinson to be exceedingly careful about the performance of his duty. Hoffman, a born skeptic in philosophy and astronomy, as everybody knows, is to propound a new philosophy, that all things consist in music. Like other heroes, he is destined to give his life for his cause. Enchanted and transfixed by the nmsic of the spheres, he must wither and be swept away bv the Windy singing the requiem in the same old monotonous tone. Hoffman is a modest man, and we may well fear that he will be slow to put his views before the world. But Humphrevs, who has no such feelings and doesn ' t believe in letting anybody suffer for what they ought to know, has already accepted the new doctrine, as he does the thoughts of all wise men, and will e ' er long publish the treatise along with a dictionary of the terminology. Poor Lake Cely can never know of all this. He slipped his dam on English examination and ran dry. Thomason is another unfortunate. He went out one moon-light night looking for some- thing that wasn ' t lost, and in some mysterious way got inked to such an extent that it will be necessary to keep him out of civilized parts. In all probability he will be sent as Satrap of Ethiopia. To Hewitt, always known as a man of valor and untiring energy, is to be assigned the herculean task of silencing Charlie McGinn, the man who looks like a bear. Morton has shown himself a man of ability along so many lines that we fear he will never find his sphere. Perhaps he may set up a meat market, and pull the wool over the eyes of many a fair servant girl while he sells her goat and calls it mutton. Thompson has become so much attached to Dr. Smith that he can never leave him. So you may expect to find him at Davidson studying physics for some years to come. There is no doubt that this prosperous land of ours will become over-populated. Then you may expect to find Sticky Hill firmly stuck in the Dismal Swamp providing a dwelling place for the posterity of his classmates. Finally, fellow classmates, may the lustre of our light nor the ardor of our spirit never be dimmed e ' er we meet again around our dear old Hall where it shall forever be symbolized. Listen to the Mocking Bird w-hile he sings the everlasting praises of nineteen hundred. 26
