.s .Sr mt. ]',rlm nf tin (Editorial of ’74. m , j|;T is now lor the lirst time that the thought strikes us with saddening H [ force, that the end of all the joys and pleasures of C.’ollcge life is fast ' $ approaching, !tnd that soon the class of sevent v-four will exist only in the memories of her faithful sons. Wo have experienced our full share of all the pleasures and trials incident to College life, and now it seems impossible to realize that in seven short months we shall be east upon a cold and relentless world, each one to fight his own way through a host of troubles, to that last victory which all must hope to win. It was the lot of '74 to enter college under very unfortunate circumstan- ces. The college was at that time passing through a crisis. Indeed, the class itself, throughout its course, may be said to have been a crisis in its history—one which, thanks to the labors of our noble President ami Facul- ty, will soon be over. We entered, six in number. There have been ten members connected with the class during its course. Of the original six three remain, and we feel justified in declaring that we have battled nobly with all the obstacles besetting so small a number, and that we can refer with pride to our past, history. We cordially welcome to our ranks one new member. May he enter warmly into that friendship which always has, and we trust always will unite tis as classmates. Then hurrah for Oi.o JIojjaht! It is here that we prepare for the battle of life. It is here that our armor is forged. Let ns employ the short time that remains to us in burnishing that armor, in finding its defects ami in remedying them. It is here that, many lasting friendships have been form- ed, friendships which will not be dissolved with our connection with col- lege, but which will always serve to keep alive in us that youthful ardor and ambition. Then let us always cherish the memories of our college days, and the love of our old college home. Let us take care that the weapons with which site has supplied us so well, be never turned against her. Be assured then, Oij IIobajct, that your honor and fame will ever he dear to us; we will guard and support it as our own. Anti though many larger and more brilliant classes go forth into the world, never will there be found any more faithful or truer to the interests of our loved mother than this little hand of ’74.
