f?istory 'yi. HE history of the Class of Ninety-Four in the Junior year! The events which have transpired since this class entered college, those at least in which Ninety-Four has been especially interested, have been duly chronicled by former histor- ians. They have had plenty of material for their work and have done it well; all the better, no doubt, because they have had much to glorify and little to defend. But now in the dignity of the third year in our course we have laid aside the trappings of war and donned the garb of scholastic repose. The cane rush, the salting and class “ scraps ” are now' things of our past and it would be incuristent with my present duties to recall them. Of our success I cannot speak in more fitting terms than have already been used. Of our failures I can only say, we did our best! And now we are beginning to experience some changes. Those who entered with us in the scientific course have become members of Ninety-Three, though between them and us, I trust, there still exists a tie, which may always be cher- ished. On the other hand, we have some addition to our numbers from the scientific men of Ninety-Five. These new men are doing quite well for them : we must not expect too much of a man who is only in his second year and retains most of the ebullient characteristics of the Sophomore. However, these men are in our class now and, with the aid of our example, w'e feel that they must soon prove themselves worthy of their new honors. Already, indeed, we hear them boasting of deeds done “ in my Freshman year.” with the true dignity of an upper-classman. The late enforced vacation has deprived us of the pleasure of spending our entire Junior year in college ; but we have still before us the most pleasant part of the brightest year of college life: that we shall make the most of it I hope my successor may be able to prove.
