THE f'DEBUTANTE'S', SECOND SEASON The type from every font they took Gf morals, fashion, dress, Set up before mine eyes, you see, Before I went to press - Ci My name upon the catalogue . Cf fame no staff or scrip S' I held, nor e'en a stick, but bound That I by gum would stick- True to myself till leaves should fall, When I would be rebound, To seek a covering in the craft - Where mates, they say, are found. But mates are scarce, so I shall make A M'ed!ey of myself, But in my second season out Don't put me on the shelf. P4

THE JOHNS HGPKINS UNIVERSITY. VVe should be glad to have you write something for our Class- book. T You know President Gilman wrote something for the Class of '89. There was positively nothing to do but assent. To write something is always a diflicult matter, even though that something is intended for a class-book. To take the University as a theme would, in the present instance, be almost as bad as to take the universe, and yet it must be the University. The circumstances exclude all other possibilities. What can be said that has not been said over and over again, and that will be likely to be interesting for more than a day? Statistics will never do. They are in type and at every one's disposal. The number of teachers, and of students, the attendance upon different courses- for these please see the Circular Must it be the finances? There seems to be no escape. A word, then, on this subject. The facts are well known to all the readers of this book. The anxious days, the relief, the rejoicing followed in quick succession in the most exciting, most important year in the history of the Univer- sity. There was a mighty struggle for existence. The spectator was the world. Is the struggle over? That is the question we are now asking. For three years we can continue our work without contrac- tion, and in that time it is hoped that arrangements will be made by which our linances will be placed upon a solid footing. Our adversity has brought us friends, and has given us a place in this community which years of prosperity could not have given us. In this fact we find our principal consolation. As to the future, the reports,of the railroad company with which the fortunes of the University iare so closely connected, give good grounds for hope. These reports appear to show that the affairs of the road are rapidly improving, and there are signs that the cloud which has for 'some time hung over the treasurer-'s department of the University has a silver lining. ...iillteau izillis? ill
