of, winning for ourselves the laurels the future may have in store for us. VV'e may become filled with college enthu- siasm and love our work in new fields here-- after, but I am sure there is not one of us but will always look back with love and pride to I the years that have just past and gone with n the historic walls, and amidst the inspirin surroundings of our dear old Germantovu Academy.
