The pride of fhe Senior class. l-le came fo us from Tl-loly Cross. Before coming fo Manhaffan he was a frack sfar. Since he has been here his inferesfs have been mainly philosophical. l-le spends fwelve hours a week sfudying Kanf, Aquinas, ef al. Buf he defesfs Spencer. Wifh all his philosophic knowledge he is a regular fellow. I-le can undersfand a ioke if if is explained philosophically. Our idea of a man's man is Mrs. Delaney's liffle son, William. l-le is ever willing fo aid a friend. This sferling youfh is nofed for his sporfsmanship, as is evinced by fhe keen inferesf he shows in all branches of afhlefics. Wifh members of fhe opposife sex no one is so popular.
