Before us now loom up those vast Helds of knowledge whose bars were opened to us, while We merely looked into them or entered by but a single liesitatiug step. s But ,98's work here is nearly done. The first epoch of its history nearly completed. Whether its future will fulfil the prophecy of its past depends upon the continuance of loyalty to its motto, fZya06v rc fmmsiv, and of loyalty to the teachings of the Alma Mater which it has honored and will honor. What the Class of '98 has done is written in the hearts of the college, what it will do bids fair to be written in the hearts of the world. -HISTORIAN. I Q f l mm. T,

O is Q5 NCQ ,Qc 0 A minute and boastful outline of its past existence would simply make it appear that we thought something of the sort necessary to keep '98 from being forgotten. If the doings of this class have not been such as will make it always remembered and honored, let it be forgotten in the oblivion of many of its predecessors. But if it is to be remembered as a bright star in the history of the college. it will shine by virtue of its deeds and little does it matter what is here Written. In retrospect, '98 sees a college life almost finished. In prospect, the goal near, and the uncertainties and possibilities beyond. The class has passed through the usual varied experiences of a college class, and some unusual ones. Such has its course always been that now it has a record of which any class might feel proud. Push, originality and independence are the qualities which have characterized it from the first. Ever has it firmly maintained its rights and made evident its superiority. In all the activities of the college vworld has it taken a leading part and has made its influence felt on every side. Victories and honors and triumphs, more than the average share, have fallen to its lot. In comparison with the pedantic heterogeneous mass of its fresh- man days, one feels that the class has grown in learning as it has grown in years. The striking fact is not how little some have acquired, or how some have acquired so much, seemingly, but how much all have not learned. if 9 rx -' Lf '- - - ' ' '--4'1 Z:- - sf . -PLL.: - ' '-LJ ---cw:,- - Zx4f4':-1:':-:-J.,-'-5-if-..-nv 2, ri 11 M- .- --.--..-- --.-....... ., V. .-.. , ,, ,A , ., -, , , , 1
