Ibistcv? of ’03 HK great scientific subject, evolution, since the days of Darwin lias occupied the minds, to a marked extent, of a large per cent of the world's thinking men. During this period as well «» prior to it many and varied have licen the examples illustrating such a theory. There lias possibly, however, never been an example so rapid and at the same time o complete a that afforded by our class of 1903. Why. a little less than two years ago what were we? Nothing hut an ignorant set of simpletons with gaping mouths, gazing eyes, and trembling knees, wcuding our wav to the president's room for organization. And now ? Why the Juniors are so envious of our sporty appearance and brilliant successes that more than one from their nuniWr has stepped backward a year and joined the class of genius. And the Seniors ! They have almost proven that man came from a inonkcv by the example afforded by onr progress. Now about our relation with the Freshman?

With the determination that has always characterized the class of ’03. our box entered the “ war.” and of course walked off with the Sophs. The cake was then given them and they immediately repaired to one of their rooms to lest its qualities. Rut oh. such a disappointment!
