We parted as freshmen. Our short vacation had wrought ijuitf- a change. The verdancy which had clung to us so tenaciously in our first year had disappeared, and we entered the second as f ' uU-tk ' dged sopliomores. We were well represented in both the Spring and Fall meetings of the Athletic Association, and oi r Base-ball Club can truly say. with the Rowing Association, that they have never suffered .lefeat. Our delightful tours to the coal regions and other places of interest, with Professor Chandler, have been most satisfactory to us in the amount of knowledge acquired and pleasure derived : while we only regretted that the time so employed passed away so (juiekly. We are now struggling in tlie treacherous maelstrom of descriptive and the intricaiMcs of (Jualilative; but we venture to i)redict that the Class of ' 79, in traveling over the road which lies before it, will, by its energetic, steady and faithful application to work, leave a record inferior to none, reflecting honor upon those engaged in su[iporting its name.

missed, Init the iiuijority of IIr- class returned safe and sound, ready to continue the work so well begun ; and we soon learned the art of taking notes on Chemistry lectures. In the course of a few months most of the class managed, by a grand crannning process, to learn enough about the Binomial Theorem, Probabilities, Sine, Cosine, Projections of a Brick, itc, to pass examination : and thus the veil of darkness which hung before our mental vision like a cloud was gradually being pierced, until with a few more efforts it would be swept away and we would appear before the eyes of the world bearing the high-sounding cognomen of sophomores. The next event of importance this term was the burial of Logic. She received her first burial at the hands of ' 7( , but, like Hamlet ' s ghost, she would not down; ' ' so not to be outdone by our worthy predecessors, we determined to give her a solemn burial on the evening of her death, . ccording to previous custom. Logic was.cremated, her ashes tenderly and tearfully placed in a handsome rosewood c;isket, and the funeral procession started. Preceded by a dirge-playing band and fol- lowed by the white-rolicd mourners, it passed through the prin- cipal streets of tlie town, to the University campus, where the aslu ' .s were consigned to the grave, with all due ceremony, and an oration ])ronoinue(l over the remains by the President of the class. Having thus disposed of Logic to our satisfaction, we proceed- ed to the 8un, accompanied by the lively airs of the band, ;md after disposing of our ghostly robes, proceeded to do full justice to the class banquet which awaited us. Throwing aside all formality we determined to have a jolly time. Amidst the clicking of glasses, toasts and speeches, we celebrated our first class supper, after which those so inclined tripped the light fantastic, keeping time to the music produced by the light- fingered H d. Towards dawn we separated, found our way home with n little difliculty, while Logic or rather the manner in which it was disposed of — will always be remembered by the class as one of their most successful undertakings. After separation of two months or more, our class, which numbered at parting about thirty, met again to resume study.
