S IXIIO or Till . SKNMI The first thought 1 lint strike upon the bewildered brain of the unfortu. nate writer of llie e lines is. • Why is then such a thills as the ‘ErnoV ami the seeoml. “Why was I pitched upon to write the editorial for tIk Hass of 'To.' The fart b. the last number of this highly interesting ami instrurtive publication. contained such an exhaustive history of this illus- trious band of youth, that the present editor is at a loss for something to say. But- • J f it wore done, when ’tis clone, then t were well, It were done quickly.' (’onsecpientIv let us dive, with open eyes, into the history of the past ami when we shall have come again to the surface, let us seek with prophetic glance to penetrate the; mysteries of the future. During: the last twelve months, many important events have transpired, affecting the history of the class of 'To. A number of its members visited foreign shores during the last summer vacation, and returned to the bosom of Ahnn Muter ref rest led and invigorated, accomplished scholars in French and German, but- sadly deficient in the vernacular, according to the pro- fessor of rhetoric and elocution. It is to be hoped, however, that they will soon improve under his earnest endeavors to re-const met them in their native tongue. On the arrival of the pilgrims among us, we found that one of them, brought to a sense of his inferiority by contact with the noblest minds of Europe, had sought in the intellectuality of 7-1 a higher and a more exalted sphere for the work- ings of his master mind. Another of our class, allured by the prospect of tumbling Niagara, has left us for a season, but will return to graduate. To offset these losses, we have to chronicle the arrival among us, of one well worthy to be numbered among 1 lie? chosen spirits of 'Ttf. Wc do not mean to detract from his merits when we state that he is from the I mushroom shades of Cornell. Quite the contrary, we give that institution credit for sending out at least one man who will some day stand high in tlu roll of our countries' greatest scientists. But to all of us comes, with saddening force, the thought. “This is our last year to be spent together as classmates. Soon we must leave the balls of our Ahmt Mater, which have sheltered us so kindly and lovingly during four long, happy years to fulfil our different missions in This world of.sad partings anil life-long separations. But, though continents separati1 us, though oceans roll between us. though time bears us still onward with relentless force, still wo shall ever remain one inspirit and every heart shall beat responsively at the reinetn brance of our happy college days and our friends of dear old
