history, ’ )3. INETY-THREE vaunted at first, its numerical strength, and1 on into our Junior year we held our course not yet depleted in numbers. Our own ECHO shows us twenty-four strong. Now we number sixteen, and our rolls have dropped true Ninety-three names, men whose absence have left us as a class poorer an J weaker. Upon one of our members, the hand of an all-wise Providence has wrought a long and severe illness, and that member, a man who stood among us clean, honorable and thorough, exemplifying in himself our sturdy motto. A student of remarkable ability, clear-headed, of large grasp, and painstaking too. in demeanor he appeared always quiet and unassuming, yet his influence upon his class and upon the student body was proportionate to his worth. From those who have left us we shall hear but one voice. “ Life yields no time for vain regrets: be employed rather in repairing losses. Close up! — lill the gaps and always continue the advance.” We are already stepping towards the uplands of life’s mountain, and as a unit shall approach it but for a short month or two. Together we look upon it, rising before us dim and shadowy, its arduous summits enticing in their purple haze, its precipices obscured and softened by the glamour of distance and the cloud forms of inexperience. A month or so and we shall pause at the mountain's foot to extend our mutual farewells, to express our mutual regrets at the parting near at hand, when each stepping away and on from the guiding oversights of Alma Mater, must pick his own path up the mountain side. Then should our class feeling be of eagerness and confidence. Alma Mater, if we have listened to her. has taught us how to climb. From her will come to us wisdom in timely husbanding of strength, in well pleased and energetic effort, in avoiding ravines and crevices, and inopportune concentrating of all our resources. Taught by her may we creditably make the ascent. Historian.
