EDITORIAL EIGHTY-TWO. ---- :«»$« — IT is said that in youth, men «re always desiring to grow older, and in old age to grow younger. We «re not yet able to tell, from experience, whether the latter statement is true or not; but we can vouch for the truth of the former. When Freshmen, we thought that, in becoming Sen- iors, we should attuln the height of all ambition. We were struck with wonder and admiration at their dignified manner and elegant phraseology. We have at length reached this lofty height, after having passed through the various stages of Freshman ignorance. Sophomore pertness and Junior laziness, which last characteristic, we fear, has been retained by us, Yet, as we have before remarked, we still desire to grow older. We have found that men cannot live contentedly merely by the proud reflection that they have the honor of being Seniors. After a time, men become tired of the best things, and we have no longer that insane fondness for recitations and lectures, and that deep-rooted aversion to “runs,” for which we were dis- tinguished in our younger days. In addition, we desire to see the world. We realize that we are still only schoolboys under a different name, and we desire to establish ourselves in the world on our own account. Each mem- ber of the class will be able to choose ft profession according to liis own taste; and will not be bowed down to a routine which may be, or may not be, agreeable to himself. We feel that, after four years of systematic train- ing, it is time for us to go out into the world. One may desire to become a clergyman, another a lawyer, another a physician. Within a few months, the members of the class of ’82 will be widely scattered; whether to meet again, is doubtful. But still, although thus desirous of graduation, our satisfaction will not be unalloyed. Wc shall feel an involuntary pong at leaving a place where so many pleasant hours have been passed. We shall miss the jokes of the amiable professors and the thundering knock of Jan. In the morning. We shall take pleasure in recalling all the events of our college life. We shall think of our Freshman cane-rush in which wo carried everything before us; B D
