Sf SW OUR years have passed with the swiftness of time. As freshmen we came herewsimple, unsophisticated, with an egotistical regard for our own capa- bilities-we were green , as the sophomores told us, but how great were our possibilities! With the coming of our second year some of us awoke to a new realization: most of us became more conceitedg a few of us never changed. Then the transformation began to reveal itself. At the close of the junior year the La fay- ette stamp had made its impress on every featureg we began to feel that greater brotherhood which makes no distinction between caste, breed nor birth-the inde- finable something which for a better word we call spirit . Now the senior year is hereg scarcely two months remain until we shall have in our possession the coveted diploma. But this will have no value for us if we do not recognize that it is merelv a symbol-not of four years of study nor of four years of play-it is a mean between, and somewhat above, these two. In college we have had a chance to make acquaint- anceshipsg perhaps some of us have undervalued this opportunityg for these, college life has not accomplished its purpose. Then there are others of us who have sought acquaintances for popularity aloneg sad to say we have a few of this good fellowu type with us. To them, the manly duties of college life have been a mere grindg they have never been aware of the vision g they have developed themselves just as little as the men of the first class. We are glad to say that there are few of either of these classes among us. The most of us have broadenedg many of us have cor- rectly estimated our own possibilities and not undervalued the abilities of our friends. This we feel is the spirit of Lafayette and of the true college man. Do you possess it? Thirlyjive

Chi Phi. lt's all l have, take it, if you can use it you are welcome to it. lt doesnt much matter whether it's the shirt off his back or his last cigarette or just a little bit of fatherly advice, Dud will come crashing through with whatever he's got for almost anyone. His stay here on our little hill has been rather an interesting one. He came back this year to graduate after a brief sojourn at the University of Cincinnati, and a year in the aviation service as a Louie with gold bars and a real airship and everything. Thats the only thing Dud doesn't talk about, but on every other subject he makes Black- stone, Hoyle and some of those other Hams look like a back number of the Easton-journal. He knows life, does the Thug, has seen it from all its viewpoints. A real session-you know the kind that ought never to start with- out two or three shovels-is never complete without the Thug. He somehow brought that back from his stay in the West. VICTOR ALBRECHT CH. New Yoizit CiTY, N. Y. Omega Delta Phi.

Ladies and Gents, if you will kindly step to the next platform, I will present to you Victor Guzzlem Albrecht, the last of the human anacondas left among us. His gastro- nomic capabilities are absolutely without an equal: even the most ferocious oyster trem- bles at his approach. His favorite expression is We love to eat and eat to love . Vie's only worries are when he is going to eat and when he is going to get married. This young man holds all endurance records for the dis- tance between Belfast fnot lrelandj and Easton. On any Sunday evening he may be seen ploughing up the roads-Belfast bound. Vic once ran wtih Bruce's aggregation, but gave up that pleasure in favor of hiking. Cheer up, old man, it is a funny course in Chemistry that never has any obnoxious odors. Thirty-six
