HAT an epoch-making event in the history of Alma Mater, dear, was the entrance of the First Collegiates of ’91. Bold as those always are who have unlimited confidence in their own powers, yet overwhelmed and filled with awe by a realizing sense of our own dignity, we swept all before us. The reverend Seniors meekly bowed at our approach, as when a strong wind passes over a wheat held, while Juniors and ff- Sophomores were as chaff before us. What a motley collection we were; odds and ends from everywhere. Truly our class-room was like a pawn shop rather than an artistic exhibition of rare specimens. ’92 might laugh, '93 look scornful, but were we not, after all, the first in the field of class organization? Pioneers were we and as such deserve all honor and respect. Here then is No. J, a study from the old masters, entitled “A Pioneer.” It was imported some years since at a large expenditure of time, labor and money. Owned at one time by the college boarding halls, but now in the possession of a lady on Charles street. When the class of ’95 goes forth to war, this picture is usually carried at the front as a banner, and ’95 is then sure of victory. Some xcc 95 ■ -

of the chief artistic points of the picture are, the soft, bewitching expression of the lovely violet eyes, and the pathetic droop of the battered cap on one side of the gracefully poised head. The v hole bearing so full of gentle resignation to an unkind fate, betokens that of a victim of circumstances for whom there is no escape save in death alone. Methinks I hear even now the voice of the auctioneer, crying, “Here, gentlemen, last chance;—going, going,—gone; a former president of '95. Another article in the possession of '95 from the beginning is No. 2, a fine specimen of Wild Goose from the tide water region of Virginia, stuffed and prepared for its present position by the various professors of the W. C. B., of whose taxidermistic skill it is a good example. It has a slender form, a small cranium, well filled with odds and ends of learning. The bird’s head is really its great- est beauty, being of a peculiar reddish hue, the life-like appearance of which has been preserved by constant and skillful use of Essay Tonic. Climates may meet in Baltimore, but not in the class of '95, for our Field is never green, and we let snow remain until the end of our history. Snow covers the tennis w courts pretty thoroughly and is also to be found in the laboratories. In fact, she seems very essen- tial to the scientific department and all its students study Snow and know her well. Snow’s voice, strange as it may seem, is in no danger of freezing, for she chatters, chatters as she goes and she goes on forever. Barking and frisking about, causing excessive annoyance in our dignified class-meetings, was a small skye terrier. It tMNIS om I is still in the possession of ’95, although for a while it had acquired the habit of running at the heels of’96. It is capricious, sometimes playing and romping with the most trivial objects, such as a chemical lecture or a society reci-
