History of 1904, .338 HE history of the Class of 1904 again presents itself to the public for further ' consideration and approbation. The time has indeed arrived that we too are 'Mable to bear the proud name of a Junior. Two years ago we entered these classic halls as green a set of Freshmen as ever stalked forth to any halls of learning. Wliat chills crept up our backs when wewere forced to converse with a proud Senior. How unsteady were our limbs during the youth of our college life, when, in recitation halls the perplexing questions were cast upon us. The future at times seemed so dark that often the question confronted us, How will we ever be able to penetrate its hidden mysteries? But thus far we have over- come all difficulties and obstacles, and willingly bear witness to the fact that Junior year is the beginning of college life. A wonderful change is indeed seen when one passes from the wise fools into the atmosphere of a higher life. This undoubtedly is brought about by the many questions and discoveries, seeming an enigma to the mind, which present themselves in the course of time. Questions that have been a great puzzle to our minds, and wonderful discoveries, have pre- sented themselves during this short period of time, and willingly do we accept them as true and honest facts, neither opposing the thought of the ancient philoso- phers. The Cosmological and teleological evidences of natural theology have in a wonderful way demonstrated and proved to us that there is an Intelligent Designer or VVise Creator. Chemistry has plainly shown us the way into the hidden mysteries of nature, and'it is but a short period of time when the members of this famous Class will prove to the world that the few simple elements existing are not in themselves simple, but a combination of other elements. Calculus, which seems a murderer to the eyes of all students, is our dearest friend, and would that a little ifzcffemefzf' could be added to some for those who will shortly follow our footsteps. Truly easily and willingly we could lead you through our whole course of learning and point out the beneficial results obtained, but enough has been said. The remainder we leave to be judged by our superiors and infe- riors who in due time will report to us the results of their deliberations. Regarding Class contests we must remain silent, as no opportunities presented themselves to demonstrate the real strength of 1904 3 however we would suggest, that when Muhlenberg reaches its great fame the contests be renewed to show the real strength of Classes and create college spirit among the students. Intellectually our Class holds its own. How conscientiously have we labored 27
