Class of ' Seventy-Eight. IT becomes the duty of your historian to record for the last time the deeds of the class of ' 78. But from what record is he to draw this history ? From what array of facts is he to take those that may prove interesting to the public at large, or even to the class ? If he could recount the love adventures of R , or the wonderful tale of D trying the power of the human eye upon the brute creation, and of how well he succeeded with the poodle and the calf, but when he undertook to tame the bull, the unscientific Ijeast, instead of being cowed and subdued, was enraged and chased him over the fence, then the reader might be pleased and interested. Or if he could but hint, in a mysterious manner, of certain deeds of valor or rescues of distressed maidens. Or if one could paint, in words of sombre hue, the pale student bending over his books far into the night, and rising with the first faint dawn to resume his work — then the gentle female heart might be filled with admiration and pity, and the alumnus, reading over his old class histories, would say, Ah, yes ! that was Jones, who knocked down the big policeman; or, Poor Smith I consumption carried him off; studied too hard. But there are none of these wonderful things to relate. We are not knights, seeking adventures, neither are we very studious o ' nights. In fact, we are only a moderately healthy, sturdy, lazy lot of men, who have managed to exist through nearly four years of a life almost as tame and humdrum as Mark Twain ' s Got up, washed, went to bed. But notwithstanding all the drudgery and monotony, I am sure we all love this quaint, slow old town, and like to see the dear, delight- ful, stupid Dutch, and hear their queer jargon of a language. And when we are gone, and our places know us no more, we will look back over our four years, and sigh, and wish we could live them over again. 11
