Always affable, obliging, and pleasant, he was a universal favorite ; not only with his class, but also with every one with whom he was brought in contact ; and his death leaves a gap in our midst that we find difficult to fill. While his place is vacant here below, his memory will ever be cherished by his beloved classmates. In connection with Mr. Duncan ' s death it is proper to mention that the Trustees of St. Luke ' s Hospital have, with their well-known liberality, set apart two rooms exclusively for the use of sick students to be»called the Duncan Memorial Rooms. For this mark of esteem towards the University in general, and particu- larly towards our late classmate, they have our heartfelt thanks. We must not forget to mention that our Youthful ' ■ Sliver son of Maine, Of stature tall and slender frame. managed to capture the Wilbur Prize at Commencement. The class of ' 79 is indebted to him for the magnificent collation given them at the Eagle, on the evening of Nov. 2, ' ' ] ' ], in remembrance of his success ; and our only wish is, that he may still continue to elongate his vertical axis, live forever, marry rich, and die happy. Last Fall we published the second number of the Epitome, the first number of which was published by ' 78 during their Sophomore year. It was very well received, and will in all probability be con- tinued by succeeding classes. In conclusion, we may say without egotism that the class of ' 79 can always be relied upon to uphold the high standard of our noble University. That it has done so here, the character of its work proves : that it will continue to do so in the life-work beyond, may be safely confided to those having its honor and reputation at stake. And now, dear reader, having filled our allotted space, we bid you adieu for another year. Historian. 16

Did we ever allow the ruminating Fresh to tread those Sopho- moric aisles without performing the customary ablutions? We think not. The Engineering Corps of the class finished their Compass Survey during the Spring, and a committee of the C. E. ' s are engaged at present in calculating the area. Their report is anxiously awaited. Often, in that memorable survey, have our expectations been blighted when, instead of receiving the much desired lo, as a reward of our daily toil, we saw our energetic instructor, with his accustomed smile, scratch his little 2.5 after our names. It may have been due to our enormous catenaries, or our excellent conduct, but which we cannot tell. Of the original forty who entered the class in the Fall of ' 75, but one-third remain. Many have left us ; some voluntarily ; others by pre- mature graduation, through the Faculty. One of our number has been stricken by the hand of death. Horn, Curtis, and the unskillful and reluctant witness, who conducted himself with such gravity before the Inquisition, have left these scientific shades; and he who traverses the halls of Jefferson will find the worthy trio busily engaged in handling the scalpel and dissecting knife. F 1 appears in perennial bloom, in the more congenial atmos- phere of Lafayette. Blessed is he who talketh little. P. S. D. C. G. P r, the originator of those famous Newark jokes, has departed with his little satchel. He now graces Union with his amiable presence, and appears there as Senior, Junior, Soph., and Fresh. Doc has just returned from a four months ' rustication on the slope, where his mental powers acquired sufficient development — as testified to by an expert — to enable him to study that science of sciences, Psychology. He has not, as yet, appeared at the University, being too busily engaged in editing his Frisco experience, for the benefit of his admirers. It has been said that joy never occurs unmixed with sorrow, and it becomes our sad duty to note that one of our brightest and most promising members, Mr. Wm. S. Duncan, has left us, never to return.
