ffitBtnro uf tin' Unitor (Wasa » HIS story of the wanderings of our class from the “wilderness” to the M J “Land of Promise” must necessarily be brief. We wish, however, to give facts sufficient to link the present with the past, since we hope soon to set up our “Kbenezer.” In the Fall of ’03, thirty-nine of us came to Furman University, seeking— we knew not what. Within a day or two we had found— we knew not what; but we soon discovered that there were professors enough around whose business it was to explain what we had found. We congratulate ourselves that our experience with the University began at the same time that our president assumed the duties of his office. Our class at once found its proper place in all the departments of college life; in the class rooms, in the Y. M. ('. A., and on the athletic field. During the fall of '03 our class joined forces with the Sophomores and defeated the Junior-Senior football team. On Field Day of the following Spring we won many prizes in the contests. The journey through which we were led during the first year was long and toilsome, so that many became faint-hearted, and by the fall of 04- all except fifteen of our first number had stopped to rest under the shade of the trees. At this time our number was raised to twenty by the addition to our ranks of five new men. During this year we visited the Island of Sicily with Thucydides, passed by quiet Sabine farm of Horace, witnessed the destruction of ancient Home, and studied the rise and fall of the great English dynasties. Occasionally we would find ourselves entangled with the unseen lines of Math, to a degree which would have been unbearable but for the reassuring presence of our gracious professor, who was always a “very present help in trouble.” We were well represented in athletics. Furman’s star baseball pitcher, and some of the best football players, belonged to the “naughty seven” class. By the end of our Sophomore year every man in the class except one had chosen his profession. [29]
