Article 2. ln behalf of our gratitude to the teachers for the wonderful influence and training that they have given us, we bequeath to them the limitless knowledge and astounding information that we have furnished them at various times i11 our classes and in our examination papers. Vile realize that l11any things we have imparted were e11tirely new to them-and to all the rest of mankind. And since this information, if it can be spread to the utmost parts of the earth, will transform not only the lear11ed but ignorant people as well, we hereby authorize and empower the faculty to spread this information whenever and wherever it will help accomplish that extraordinary prodigy called education. Secrrox II Article 1. To the junior class we lenve a set of carefully drawn up instructions, explaining the process of becoming studious and dignified Seniors, Although we cannot hope for them the success which we have attained, since we are a very extraordinary class, yet we make our bequest in good faith and with every good wish for their highest success.
