O, FOUR short years ago, there gathered upon this glorious hill-top the Class of IQO5. Most class historians would say, the illustrious mr, classng we wait the test of time and feel con- .lident that the years will give abundant proof of intellectual and moral merit. We met as individuals: we part a unit. We came not knowing each other, nor what awaited us, in the iierce contests against the Soph- omores there began that crossing of the heart-strings, that welding of souls, which is the peculiar attribute of classes in the small college. That process has gone steadily on, till in this final term, we stand together, staid Seniors in the cap and gown, and on Commence- ment Day Uthegither we'll totter down and out into the cold world. We assembled -just over fifty strong, we graduate with but a small percentage of loss. A few the inevitable scourge of the Faculty drove from these classic halls, a few outside forces carried off, no one, we gladly say, has been lost by death. We were the lirst to expe- rience the slaughter of the genial, urbane, but terrible Windy , He chastened. us, but we had to like him. Sophomore year we gave a three-day reception to the incoming class, not because we disliked them, but for their sake. They came here sixty strong, fine men of brawn and muscle.

HAMILTON COLLEGE 23 text-book and lecture will fade from our minds, but illumined by the sunset of years the event of that day stands mommzefzfzwz pere72z'ri.f were. We have never been strong in athletics, but in all other things which go to make up a successful class in College-intellectuality, morality and sociability-We have excelled. If We Were not Writing this history our- selves, We would say We have not seen our equals. Without seeming to boast, we ask you to look at the programs of the musical clubs for the last four years. About ever other man has 'o5 after his name. In the art of making melody, our aid has been effective, our influence potent. On the social side We have supported the College to the best of our ability. Our history has been one of steady advancement along all lines. Witness the fact that Senior year We had more men playing football than in any preceding year, and for scholarship-look at the records of the catalogue. Intellectually we are steadily realizing the real aim of the college course+developmentg until in our last year, as Square expresses it, the standing of the class is Winding up and he finds it a real nuisance to deter- mine the award of graduating honors. We have always shovvn our devotedness to the athletic interests of the College by very generous subscriptions to her various funds, and finally, we have erected a lasting monument of our interest and genuine love in the gen- orous gift of the bleachers. Constructed at very consid- erable cost and in a durable style they make the best class gift ever presented to the College. We have tried in this brief sketch not to be over boastful-it has been diflicult at times. You will par- don the slips and accept of us for what you know us to be. With that acceptance we are content.
