L THE MAIN COLLEGE BUILDING

Page 17 text:

IN'1'lt.Ol1UC'l'10N. Four happy years, thc members of the class of 1907 have spent together , becoming more and more strongly united by the bonds of good-fellowship which have cxistcd ever since we greeted each other with a You l resh? ,Yes. So 'ni I, and shook hands on it. So, 'tis no wonder we dread the day when we must shake hands again, hut this time in parting, for the time is not far 0lil',Wll0ll we shall separate and each one go his own way, never, perhaps, to meet his classmates again. These four years, which are so soon over, may he the happiest and jollicst some of us will have to look hack upon: for to those the future may not he kind, and life be a veritable struggle full of disappointments and failures. Is it not natural, then, that they should look back to the good old college days with the tenderest feelings and want to see their old associates once more? Others, more fortunate, may have many of the good things and times the world affords, but to them also, memories of Old Hahneman and their classmates will hold a lingering charm which they will chcrish,and about which Wifey will sometimes catch them dreaming. We came to college to prepare for our Iife's work, and have done this seriously and nohly. But, in among these hours of study can be seen, shining with a fairer ray, many little moments of pleasure, when, laying aside seriousness, and perhaps dignity, we were just good fellows together. These are the good times we are going to look back upon, and over them we will delight to ponder. Sheridan said, War is Helll' ' Yes! Yet how entertaining and amusing are the stories of an old veteran, and how he chuckles over various incidents that happened while he was in service. forgetting at the time, the old wounds and sufferings the war caused him. So, classmates, in regard to roasts. If any of you feel that you have received too much attention in our hands, don't take it hard. We have purposely tried to bring out. and even exaggerate your little idiosyncrasiesg for it is a man's own little characteristics that distinguish him from other men. If you have more of these little peculiarities than another, consider yourself the more fortunate. If any of you think we have not given you enough attention, don't feel slighted, but remember that although our intentions have been the best, our time has been limited. If this reason does not satisfy you, kindly inform us, and we shall be glad to add a special supplement to each one of you in our next edition. VVe wish to thank all those who have helped us in compiling this book, and assure you of our appreciation. In closing, let us say, we earnestly hope that in this book we shall have accompolished our object, which has been to present you a book which you will enjoy looking over in the coming years, and which will help to keep fresh in your memories, visions of the good old times you have had with your classmates within the walls of our Alma Mater, Dear Old HAHNEMANN. The Committee.
