Eizforg of file Cfass of t96. 2 The history of 796 is the history of a series of struggles and a long succession of victories, complete and glorious. Biology teaches that the lower forms of life are followed by the higher, that ilowerless plants precede the flowering plantx and that the low organisms gradually developed into the higher, and that there has been a gradual development in structure and function until life reaches its culmination in man. Such a development has been noticed among the classes of De Pauw. The generalized structure has disappeared and a diii'erentiation has taken place, and there is now and has been for Five years a class of superior capabilities. The new epoch began in 1889 when 96' entered Prep. But 96 has not had as far to develop as her rivals to reach perfection. She was great to begin with. Our Junior and Middle preparatory years were spent in quiet study and careful preparation for the great contests that were to follow. In our Senior preparatory year we won quite a reputation, taking the preparatory oratorical contest and defeating all comers in ittlllCthS. Here our triumphant march began, and the University gazed with awe on our success. About this time, 97 became jealous of our power and determined that something must be done or we would absorb the entire University. It was then, tradition says, thatt Ariovistusll at the head of a band of outlaws attempted to burn us in effigy on East Campus at high noon. Just as the lire was about to be kindled, a ,96 man approached anc Lt Ariovistus tl and his hosts ttvanished like mist before the rising sun? A few days later we began our literary career by the publication of what 797 called a tt Boguslleour lirst Mirage. On our graduation day, encominin after encomium was passed upon us by students, professors, and trustees, and with the good-will of all we passed from the Halls of Prepdom. , Custom alone compelled us to be Freshmen. We were such only in place, not in reality. We never had that long, gre 3n, sickly, lazy look that characterized 95 and 97 when they were Freshmen, and which characterizes them still. During our Freshman year ,ve were not idle. tt The heights of Freshmen reached and kept Were not attained in broad daylight; But they, while other elassmen slept, lVeI'e toiling upward in the night. The events of our Sophmore year have been innnortalized. Victory succeeding victory urged ns onward. Among the first of our many valiant deeds was the routing of l97 and the capture of our flag on December 20, 1893. Notwithstanding our rivalls attempts to interfere, we enjoyed the only class sleigheride of the season, We endeavored to make it pleasant for certain members of the Freshman class, but we have often been informed that it was not 50. Attack after attack was made upon us, but we withstood all, successfully drove back the enemy and went merrily on as the class song and cheer, mingled with the music of sleigh-bells, rang out on the still night air. 27
