These conditions, it is hoped, 111ay never be brought into play, since the members of the class of 'QQ have always been noted for their morality and studious habits.

Charge to the Juniors. To THE CLASS or 'ggz The last scene of the drama played by the class of '98 has been reached. The actors are about to leave the stage. We have given you some comedy, and now the death-scene, the tragical, comes before you. You are no strangers to the fact that the career of the class of '98 has been an illustrious and glorious one, so that you may well put aside some of the grief you feel at our departure, and rejoice in the fact that you, the members of the junior Class, have been made sole heirs to '98's large but rather diverse estate. It is to this last will and testament that we now ask you to listen with all due reverence. This will has been duly signed by each member of the class of '98, and in addition bears the name of three witnesses, viz. : THE A1x11,xB1.E ARCHIE PERSONS, M. Se., ST. PETER HERBARIUM ROLPHS, M. Sc., and his assistant, P1QU.-XRIUM LAINSECT QUAINTANCE, M. Sc.

Serozzd.-Should any junior ever forget himself or herself so far as to carry on a fan or handkerchief flirta- tion with any other than a member of '99, the aforesaid junior shall relinquish all right to the property and bene- fits bestowed by this will. 716141111 and Lasfllf.-Any junior who shall knowingly smoke a cigarette, join in the midnight revels of the K. of C., or attempt to enter upon the scholastic duties of 'QQ with more than half-dozen back studies, shall lose go

We bequeath to you the opportunity to make the most of your Senior year. Be true to yourselves and do not underestimate your influence or worth. 2. Be loyal, be true to our college. 3. Cherish class ties. Be always ready to strive for '99. There are those things that make life worth living, and after our four years are over we feel that we must live our very best, live the noblest lives possible, no matter in what station, in order to do credit to and express a meagre thanks for the rich gifts our Alma Mater has bestowed upon us. Have our four years not taught us that college graduates have duties to perform and duties from which they dare not shrink? 92
