11 !. HO Ol- ’III!-. SI .NM IIn.il skvkntv-six ! Till' l:i | of time has brought togct lu r I lit material for a new class, and we appear upon Learnings stage to act our part in the College drama. The year dawns auspiciously. We assemble in fair num- bers, and with line prospects in the inereased facilities that our Institution affords us for accomplishing the object we have in view, a t borough ami complete educat ion. We fill the places of those who have been promoted to higher seats hi- ding our turn for the honors n it h which our noble Aluut .! e will endow us content to go otT the stage the li 1 ty-seeond in the succession of her classes. We find practices exist mg. regulated by the isolated law of ‘‘Col- lege custom.” which are incompatible with an enlightened and progressive a »• •. “Reform! has beeom a watchword throughout the land, none the e ■ less applicable here. We hope to elevate our chivalrous deeds to a higher plane. Wc are ushered in with an honor, particularly our own. “The spirit of ’7G ’rings out along the years, its tones, at any time, thrilling the hearts of Freedom's sons! But how will that spirit be intensified as we grad- ually approach the year of which our class is the exponent: when we can clasp hands across a century of our Nation's history! What an happy contrast will it be. when comes the time of parting with associations that have become dear, to relied that instead of going forth to enact the bloody scenes of ‘‘old '70. we go forth, as it wore, from an armory that Ims equipped m to battle with tin ignorance, the thoughts and the business of life.
