Illll lllilllillllllllllllliillilll In the fall of 1875, the preparatory course at Denison was extended to three years. This necessarily left one year when there was no class. Efforts were made to fill up the vacancy, and the result was the class of ' 82, without exception, the best ever graduated by the College, and one which has kept its average very high. The class has always manifested great spirit, and held regular meetings until the end of the Sophomore year. Early in the spring of the Freshman year the class gave an ele- gant entertainment to its many friends. It cremated Olney at the close of its course under that kind hearted individual, and challenged ' 81 to a Rope Pull and a Base Ball game, ' 81 backing out of both. Sixteen men have ranked themselves with ' 82, nine of whom graduate here in June. Of the absent ones, Chandler and Pratt graduate contemporaneously at Ann Arbor and Delaware respectively. George Andrews leaves Rochester in ' 83, and Kendall gets a sheepskin at Amherst. Warden, who was with the class for a while, graduated in 1880 in scientific course, while Woofter and Stebbins are at work for the good of humanity out in the wide, wide world. Of the nine who graduate in June, two have been with the class for seven years, three for six, and the others for shorter time, Rogers and Johnson entering in the Senior year. 25 IIIIIHI llilllllllllll lilllliii
