pHERE have been a few classes toward which the gaze of the college world has been directed with the profoundest admira- tion and respect. Their superiority has been so manifest that all, from the highest to the lowest, from the President to the Prep, have combined to do them honor. But the bright particular star of this small cluster of brilliants has been without doubt the class of ' 87. Like Minerva we sprang full armed from thundering Jupiter. Our valorous deeds have been sung in every tongue. Do you doubt our cl aims ? Go to ' 86, and ask those boastful Bibs who brought them bound hand and foot before the fairest tribunal forsooth the sun ever shone upon, and made them answer for their misdeeds. Who so filled them with fear and trembling at sight of our pow- erful brawn that they dared not meet us on the cleated floor in manly contest for tug of war ? Whose banners waived triumphant o ' er the field in public debate ? With downcast eyes and mournful visage they murmur Eight} -seven. 18

Go to ' 88, and hear of them how their presumption was sorely punished and their impudent canes broken over their heads. Who boldly cheeked their disgusting orgies over the remains of their defunct enemy and our whilom friend, T. Rig ? In declamation, how vain their efforts to win from us the laurel wreath ! But why go further ? Our deeds are household words. Our fame is won. Now we can enjoy the pleasures of philosophy, art and song with a pleasing consciousness that so long as chivalric virtues are in good repute, our memory will be warmly cherished by future generations. 19
