jj imi er Aitori al EIGHTY-SEVEN, after some two years and a half of college life, has reached that period in her existence which, by a long lino of class editorials, has been declared to bo a season of change. It is supposed that the Junior year is a time when the infantile sports of the Frehsman and Sophomore years — hazing, cane-rushes, midnight serenades, and tho mysteries of the A. 2. 2. — aro regarded with lofty unconcern, while as a dignified upper classman tho Junior already sniffs from, afar the incense of commencement day. Far be it from ns to break tho usage of ancient tradition; we add our little to tho already overwhelming burden of proof, and assert that the Junior year is indeed a time when old things begin to pass away. Eighty-seven, as a class, has experienced changes in full measure. Of tho fourteen men who, with bright prospects for the future, entered as Freshmen, but five are remaining. And here, to those who have left us or have fallen by the wayside, we would extend fraternal greeting, and remind them tliat though absent- they are ofttimes present in memory. Our motto,. “vires acquirimus eundo,” however, has over held true; and the incoming to us of the best part of the class of eighty-eight, with additions from other institutions, have raised our number beyond its original extent. Hot in numbers only, wo modestly trust, has been our entire advanee; on looking back at the work of tho past two years, though to some, especially the overburdened honor man, it has been liko “over climbing up the climbing wave,” we see a record of which any class might well be proud. Still, in. regard to

opportunities lost and time wasted, there is some cause for regret — a regret that does not come too late to whisper the yet timely warning, “seize the present, make the best of the time that remains.” While a certain satisfaction is justly taken in success in the various branches of college enterprise, there is a still greater pleasure in a past which has been marked by harmony and unbroken good feeling. In. this latter respect the class has good reason to be gratified with its career. That early enthusiasm with which as Freshmen we .sang around the festive board “Eigkty-sev.en’s a jolly class,” has never wholly died away; class elections, so often in olher classes the occasion for oratorical ebullitions of temper, have always been, conducted with the greatest good humor. And when the time for parting at the end of the course comes, T think wo arc safe in saying that to every man in Eighty-sovon it will come with gcnuiho sorrow. Already in the not remote future appear the misty outlines of the real issues and efforts of practical life. While we prepare to meet them well equipped for the fight, we may host make the pathway bright by falling into the spirit of that old Latin refrain: “(1 audeamus igitur juvenes dnm sumus,” and when separated in the world, the years spent together here will be among the happiest roeollections of our lives. Before our class undoubtedly lies a future of prosperity and success. We can almost see that fabled goddess, the “Echo of the Seneca,” striding over her blue waters and saying, “Laurel crowns for victor brows,” and hastening to crown her kneeling devotee, Eighty-seven,
