history of ' 00! Does that mean that the events chronichled would be expressed by a mere cipherV That might be the conclusion of a casual observer, but if any one in Monmouth were to express himself in that wise he would certainly bring upon himself the contumely of unpardonable oblivion to his surrounding ' s. In truth, we are unfortunate in our name; but with the sagest Englishman we ask what ' s in a name? A rose by any name would smell as sweet, ' ' and is not an unpretentious exterior a deep measure of true greatness? Yea verily, it is our intrinsic worth that has won our place the esteem of the world. It is on account of this worth that mathematicians and Philosophers have quarreled long and uncompromisingly over our exact place chronologically. They could not become convinced that the advent ■of such a class did not mean the dawning of a new era. Our distinction manifested itself early in our career.

Very modest were our masters and the workman- ship was placed under the heading Things that everyone doesn ' t know. ' ' -During the spring our picnic opened class festivities and the last act was ;the gaining of that championship in base ball which ' 00 has continued to hold. The Sophomore year is characterized by intellectual dilligenee. Long- er than others yet with briefer annals. The startling social event was the picnic of the spring term. The day was cold, and dark, and dreary, it rained and afl: ' orded valuable opportunities for observing the chemical effects of HjO on starch. In a hospitable country home we substituted lamps for the hidden moon and returned to the chiming of midnig ' ht bells. The Junior year brought us in goodly numbers much needed new members. From N.
