As we, at the completion of our college course, f E ' 2 ' . . . . I ,Q cast a retrospective glance upon our work, we are convinced that while it, , . f N Nz as a whole, has been of a high grade, in many instances it could have L- A been better. We contemplate with pleasure our victories in class-room and upon the campus. The historian does not claim that the boys of '96 constitute the brainiest class that has ever been graduated from the institution, the native modesty of the class forbids, and, too, such claims have become trite. Our work is on record, if any man would know it, to him we say consult the records. There you will find that as students, writers, debaters, and in every line of college work whatsoever, we have always been found ready and competent to take a leading part. In scholarship one class cannot, with accuracy, be compared with another, but on the diamond and gridiron, where all meet and struggle for supremacy, comparison presents no difficulty. On the diamond we have always been an object of fear, and for the past two years have shared first place with our immediate successors, but we would speak especially of our work upon the gridiron. Since our entrance into college We have stood ever ready to meet any team which cared to go up against us, and never yet has our banner trailed in the dust. 'We would speak of one other victory. During our junior year, we attempted, both by precept and example, to put down a semi-barbaric custom which has been the direct cause of many a missed lesson and of bitter and even malignant rivalry between classes. This was the habit followed by the Juniors each successive year of attempting to procure the Senior song. To accomplish this end men have sacrificed every principle of right and justice. The breaking open of trunks and pilfering their contents, the rifiing of 1I1SI1,S pockets while they slept, are but fair examples of the deeds that have been committed under the guise of a college prece- dent. Instead of following the good example set for them last year, that aggregation of men, .21
