VValkup, as his name demands, has gone very far, and on an autumn afternoon was once observed Wheeling his t'English in a barrow across to the football grounds, that he might devote himself to his favorite study during the intervals of play. Political dogs and tariff reformers, together with anti-Nebians, comprise a healthy majority. A lack of space prevents me from giving a fuller account of individual development. I am compelled to leave things as they are, forcibly reminded of a sad and pathetic story once related to us by one of our Y. M. C. A. potentates, brother G'r'g', who spoke as follows concerning the uncertainty of continuance: 'tl once knew a lady, and she blossomed and grew, but the frost came and nippecl her in the budfl Thus do I feel concerning my Very labo1'ious attempt to display in truthful outline the progress and clevel- opment of my class, that it has been U nipped in the bud ere I have fairly begun.

Such was the result, however. Sic f1'a11sitgIo1'ia gowns, they are thought of now as baneful encumbrances! Beyond the fact that all of us who are looking forward to graduation have done a good share of hard work, there is little of general accomplish- ment to relate. Some, however, more daring and independent than the ordinary, have ontstripped the rest of us and plunged forward into the great uncertain with reckless glee.
