HE Class of 1911 is unique in that it is the first one to graduate from the New , George Washington University. Bare Many of the graduates of this class can harken back to the days when they plodded to the old Van Ness Park for the engineering laboratory work, and it must be con- fessed that some of the candidates can remember further. It was with retrospective thought that we watched the demolition of the old university building on Fifteenth street, where so many companions in learning have become imbued with knowledge. Knowledge has been “rubbed into some of us, while others have “absorbed. ’’ for the class of 1911 contains some few who have spent the best portion of their lives trying to graduate, others have made records in speed. I he “Oldest Inhabitants of this class have seen professors grow gray in the service, but it must be said that the love of the university was the only in- centive to so many years of study for a few of us, we just found that there was no “royal road to knowledge. I he Engineer C lass of 1911 was formed hurriedly, for the Freshman dance was to be held in a few nights, and our class dancer had to attend to uphold the social standing of the Seniors. Not that there was only one “fusser among us. far from it, but the class contained on ly one devotee of the terpsichorean art. 1 here were offices for everybody except one, and at the earnest solicitation of Jenks, he was allowed to remain the “high private in the rear ranks of this South American Army. “Are you really going to graduate this year; you don’t mean to say that they are go- ing to let you through this year, I thought you had five more years, were some of the salu- tations with which the night studes greeted each other. There was never a happier bunch collected than the 1911 Engineers, not that they were to leave the university, but because of the fact that they were about to reach the goal of a race started many years belore. Having avoided or overcome the snares and pitfalls which have been placed in our paths by the faculty, we leave the University feeling that we have completed a h ard task, and are fitted to accomplish greater things. We will always hold dear our Alma Mater, “George Washington University. 24 —
