little thought of now. Indeed we remember them. but only as the dark cloud through which shone the silver lining of this June, when all cares and anxieties would be ended. lVitl1 troubled minds and quivering eyelids, We have divided and sub-divided Caesar's Gaul into numberless parts and have hurled our nnaledictions upon the head of the wretched Cataline. We, too, like Menelaos and wide-ruling Agamemnon, have stormed Ilium's walls in rain. We have dug deep into the mysteries of square and cube root and have vainly striven to realize how much we owe to Pascal because we know that the pressure is transmitted undiminished in all direc- tions and acts with the same force upon equal surfaces and at right angles to the surfaces. We have spent many afternoons in the Physi- cal Laboratory. and in our hurry to get the 18th Sheet of Experiments finished by the end of the week, we have unluckily discovered the Cost of glass jars, beakers, and thermometers. It is well known that some of the experiments which were undertaken were not found upon the Laboratory sheets. For instance, an attempt was made to iind the temperature of 100 g. of snow and 50 Kg. of Hedges. The result was warmer than was anticipated, whereupon the Hedges in question was presumptuous enough to try to wash the spots from the face of the Moon. The ability of the class as individuals is marvelous. liven we our- selves are astonished at what has been accomplished by some of our fellow-sufferers. Strange inventions. wonderful displays of oratory. and new editions of Algebras. Arithmetics. and especially Grammars have appeared. Une sinall lad during the intervals between dinner and the first afternoon class gradually developed into composer. artist, and even poet. llut this last talent. although indicative of genius almost sutlicient for a class poet. met its superior in her whose scholarly ideas and depth of mind were revealed in this her first poem. entitled To nv Gt'IN12.x, I have a very funny pet: The hens he likes to fret. He runs at them from morn 'til night And keeps them in a fright.

I think it tires him to do so. For he will make them go, And then he 'll stop-my dear, 't is true- He 'll stop and say: O whev.f! As to our faculty. we are forced to admit that they. too. are not of the very dullest. although one member does persist in leaving her glasses behind: while another immediately becomes very cross at such a small thing as a tlower or ribbon of yellow. One is so very extrava- gant as to pay 52.00 for a very small bar of toilet soap: while the opposite extreme is seen in another, who enjoys a grind dinner all the better when she can avoid paying for it. Despite the dreadful lack of gray matter in the brains of our instruct- ors, and notwithstanding-the extra amount of the same in the brains of the class of W, for some unaccountable reason we found it prolitable to remain during these last four years. Thus we now realize that we have learned perhaps a very little in that time. though in September of 'WS we thought such a thing impossible.

Not only in what knowledge me may have of Latin or Geoinetry. but some- thing more. Our minds have broadened: we have a clearer understand- ing of mankind. and a good foundation for becoming true and intelli- gent American citizens. such as will always he needed so long as our country stands. But we have worked hard for our reward. studying energetically through many tedious days and nights. As we look back over it now. we see many things that were unpleasant. XYe realize that many times we might have been more credit to our school and to ourselves: but tonight we forget them all and rejoice only that we can now say, as every other graduating class has said before us. z'r11f. z'z'1f1'. z'1'r1 ' with especial emphasis on the z-fri. Still in all the gladness of Commencement, there is one small strain of sadness. XVe soon will separate: some to go here, others there: some to success. others to failure: probably never all to meet again. But no matter how widely we may be separated, or how dihferently we may be situated. there will always be one bond of sympathy. one tie
