has awarded us high standing not only as a class hut among one another, each having qualified to command according to his previously-chosen bent, in a separate niche of his own. Control, as a senior, over what happened there, was the reward by privilege for the previous years con- tributed, an office that could offer an actual challenge of leadership and a not-to-stringent test of ability. The only danger consisted in viewing our pedestals too seriously and as things tangible. The chief heritage we can leave is in training and choosing the men whose eyes, after ours, seek those same pedestals. In remembering lost classmates of whom we are proud, comes the realization that the group has shrunk in numbers, even during the last year, with a mortality that is too high. The four- vear career can be viewed now with sincere conviction that it enabled us to secure the rudi- mentary life equipment we desired above all else. The choice was ours, the resulting structure a contribution from others, both teachers and fellow students. Wisdom of the choice and strength of that structure are the propositions we now set out to prove.

As freshmen, we experienced a change in physical and social surroundings; when seniors, the first of these remained as we had known it, and age alone changed much of the second. The sense of uniqueness was for the most part due to our social status, a bestowal almost of prestige, and a mandate of responsibilities which we automatically regarded with the utmost gravity, as of immeasurable importance. We were too often tempted to feel that the fate of the world could not be attained with proper decorum, did we fail to contribute the last full measure of our ready talents. An introvertive glance proves it is not difficult to consider the four years as a unified whole than to see each of them as an entity of its own, and of these the last is the one we are prone to view in most glorified retrospect. Undoubtedly, the last has been most deeply pleasurable; it t 1 i H Twenty-Six
