Not even the discipline imposed by the rigorous first year studies has prepared them adequately for the inflexible routine of second year. Throughout freshman year they have heard a legend of sophomoric woes, and it is with some trepidation that they approach the regimen of second year. The demands made of the student's intellectual powers and physical stamina are unsurpassed: yet, with all its difficulties, sophomore year is a year of awakening.
