, I Qp HE Junior year is a period of transition in a man's life—a period i when okl tilings are passed away but when as yet a new life has | j not been begun. We can all well remember our first introduc- tion to college, when, in our Freshman year, it seemed aland of pure delight where the sun ever shone, where no more arduous work was ] to be done than smoking cigarettes and having a good time, and where every man was a friend and brother. Tints passes. One by one our j j cherished illusions are done uway with, one by one the elayfeet of [■ oui idols crumble and they fall to the ground. This occupies, perhaps, two years; then one feels discouraged; lie 3s inclined to ask what is . true and worth having. He comes to know liimself and humbly and j f sadly to confess that he is no brilliant genius, no mighty prophet whom heaven has brought into the world; rattier, on the contrary, he . knows less than most men and is inferior to all with whom he has to do. This is the condition of the Junior year. He sees the delusion i of the past and with fear beholds the shadowy world lying so near , | j into which he must soon go. Yet after all it is not wholly with fear j j that he thinks of going and earning his own bread and Balt. College j has become wearisome to him and lie feels the restraint of its belittle j. ing influence. He longs to throw himself into the'fight, to try of what material ho is made, and do or die. •1 Eighty-Six is no exception to the rule; what other classes have felt, site feels. She does not boast of her victories, but leaves them for all men to see, without comment, for she knows well that they are equal to thoso of any other class. Nor does Eighty-Six, While possessing no mean intellectual capacity, laud herself. Her record will ho found inscribed in the honored annals of Hobart.
