THE Historian of the Junior Class has little of startling or romantic interest to record. Nearly three quiet years with their hours of work and recreation have swiftly passed away. It seems but yesterday when the duties of our Historian and our Prophet were identical and now two Years and a half are history. These years although they have passed quietly have been bv no means dull or uneventful. We have passed through the experiences to which all classes are subject and we have no reason to be ashamed of the way we have conducted our- selves. We were outnumbered by the classes just above and below us but we entered and fought out our college battles from the battle in the dark under the trees of the park until the occasion when each one of us impregnated with salt the meagre crania of two or more Freshmen. In the class-room, on the campus, in the ' forum” we have taken our places and have exerted a perceptible influence on the college life.

What it is to be, we soon shall know ; but one short year more and the realization must come when we say “ abituri salutamus.” 2 ■ % o Historian.
