Finally, their connnencement orations which have been carefully pre- served, show that breadth of view and clearness of intellect characteristic of great men. And great they were. Every department of human life felt their in- vigorating touch. In medicine and debilitated anatomy what greater names than Brown and XVorkman? The multiplex coruscations of the genius of Beck and Conley still illuniine the scientinc sky. Domestic problems have yet to find a more worthy exponent than Cole. Not words but deeds was the clarion cry of Green, while modesty itself felt abashed in the presence of Megaw. To Bentel we owe the daring survey of the ethereal trunk-line to Mars and to Struble the solution of that vexed problem of how to get some- thing for nothing. As a dashing and picturesque cavalry leader Street knew no peer. Lewis, jones and Montgomery laid deep and firm the foun- dations of modern jurisprudence. The Hower of statesmanship and philo- sophy bloomed forth in Davis. For the scholarly dissertation on The Best Method of Applying the Slipper to Family Relations, the world owes Schneider much. Parkhurst has left us truest models of the sculptor's art, while Rockwood has flirted most successfully with the poetic muse. The ethical significance of the pun was first elucidated by Trimble and a new religious atmosphere was created by the gaseous theology of Dye and Krea- ger. In conclusion it may truly be said that erudition packed their heads, benevolence their hearts, and gratitude their graves. -, X , ,-.CS 22.

M ., .-A , , ,,,.,, ,- . .. , BiSI0l'V of tht QIGSS of l900. fBy courtesy of the publishers the following article' is taken from the notable work entitled, Sources of Modern Civilization issued the present year QA. D. 59005 from the press of Chin Pung 8: Co., Pekinj ITH the year 1900 commenced a new era, for then graduated from a School of the Sages, province of Ohio, the illustrious persons to whom, above all others, our present culture is due. What Socratic thought was to the early ages and the Ren- naissance to the middle, that and more has been their influence on modern life. The history of the members of this remarkable class is unfortunately somewhat obscure. Fragments of correspondence and the Catalog of the School are our main sources of information, the latter, however, being rather discredited because of mythical statements. From these documents we gather that most of the class were indigenous to Ohio, but from the occurrence of Pa., Wash., U Wis., and K'W. Va.,l' after certain names it is thought that a few were imported from other provinces. It is perhaps not altogether with- out significance that 0116 hails from China. Of so striking appearance were they that one of their instructors proph- esies of them on the day of first registration as follows:- Shock-headed, Celluloid-collared, short-trousered they may be, but of what tremendous en- ergy! Native ability and masterfulness perch on each brow. If I and the State of Ohio can restrain their youthful spirits within 'legitimate' channels, they will one day o'erspread the world in fructifying deluge. Truly pro- phetic these words. Their school life was promising. An interesting relic of the first year is found in the Royal Museum of Archaeology, it is a large stone slab on which is painted in green and white 'I '99,'l but most suggestively this is almost effaced by a bold 'O0. These figures are class emblems and picture their victory as Freshmen over the Sophs. As to the meaning of '00, some of their fellow-students of the baser sort seem to have insinuated that it was indicative of twice as much flunking as common. The most trustworthy authorities, however, regard it as symbolical of comprehensive learning. T he journal of the Chief Mandarin sheds much light on these embry- onic powers. Evidently he loved them much, for he writes, I am sorry that I am obliged to absent myself so much from the Seniorsfl Seniors 'l was a term denoting highest respect and affection.
