Looking down the ladder — at the top of which we now stand — we see others ascending, step by step, striving to reach the same position. We do not scorn them, l)nt rather look upon them with compassion. Especially so upon those who have reached those places in the ladder where so many fall through. In short, we possess the greatest solicitation and sympathy tor those who are beneath us. So you see, dear reader, that there are embodied in ' 94 all those virtues which go to make up the ideal class. In addi- tion to our physical, our mental and our moral attainments, we are humble. In other words we have not the swell-head as some have. We abhor self praise and show the greatest deference for the halt, the maimed and the blind which we see coming after us. What does this mean? It means, to put it as modestly as possible, •■Siimus Popu i. Hoping that the peruser of this article has now a fair idea of our general character, we will proceed to discuss brieffy ome facts relating to the masculine and feminine factors of the class. Going on the assumption that theie is no truth in that old stying, Age before Beauty, ' we will speak of the ladies first: Many are the accounts given in history of the unwavering loyalty of woman: History repeats itself. We take great pride in speaking of the loyalty of the girls of ' 94. We would hold up their example as one worthy of the imitation of all their sisters. On all occasions ' ' Our Girls, as it were, have stood by us. In peace and in war the same fidelity has characterized them. Cheered on, by the ladies, we met the enemy and they were ours in the famous flag scrap. lUany a time and oft upon the Base Ball arena, have we been inspired by their presence and applause, and urged on to victory. In the annals of College history shall their names go down, and they shall be an example for future generations. Our Girls ' ' have proven conclusively that woman is man ' s equal and oftentimes his superior, intellectually. One has only to hear the ladies of ' 94 discourse on subjects, methaphysical, mathematical, geological, astronomical, or otherwise, to be convinced of this fact. Many are the praises we could sing of them but space forbids. A few words about the baser element, and we are through. We need no introduction to the student. We proclaim as did the conquerer of old, Veni, vidi, vici. For benefit of the public we will say that although we have been assailed many times, we have always come off bearing Palms of Victory. Our accomplishments in oratory are excelled by none other in the State of Illinois. We carried off the laurels at Inter-collegiate in ' 93 with very little, exertion. With the ladies, truly, We are The People. We submit the foregoing facts for the perusal of friends and foes All our merits we have not recounted, but perhaps enough has been said to give the reader .some conception of whom and what we are. Hoping that this short article may prove an inspiration to all who read it, we bid you a long farewell.
