And those first classes in college! NVhat an advance from the ac- customed methods of prep. school teaching! But this soon all wore off and it was not long before we were putting snow on the thermometer bulb in order to get dismissed without recitation. At last the gun was issued and the uniform came, and we were real fullfledged soldiers. An interesting thing it is to note the large number of friends that a freshman expects to see on the trains after his uniform arrives. And there were band concerts on those cool autumn evenings, and entertainments at which the young ladies of town were present. Now of course a fresh- man, just in uniform is not much for ladies, but there were some among our numbers who would walk overt' if they had the chance. And so the first year went, with its drills, its studies, dances, camp and commencement, and without its gauntlet. Summer came and went and fall brought us back broken in numbers, some to wear stripes and start the climb to the exalted rank of senior oflicers. I shall step very lightly as I pass those days of Calculus, Analyt. Mechanics and their second cousins. May they forever rest peacefully after the murder- ous attacks we made upon them. But thoughts of summer school are pleasant to all. NVe surveyed about everything in sight, and had time to throw apples and recount the adventures of Paul beside, and with all the hardships of rainy days of hike, the marches are another source of fond memories. When We started the last year we numbered 23, but as we approach the end we find but sixteen who are likely to survive the struggle and be with us after the last kick in june, It is interesting to note the general ad- vance and development of our members since that first retreat. Some have matured wonderfully, and have grown from the careless boy to the think- ing young man. Dignity and authority are born in different Ways, vary- ing with the personal opinions and ideas of the individual. If there was any appreciable amount of self-confidence in those first days, what words shall I use to tell you of the general spirit now ? It is not a little odd that when we have the least strength to combat the world, we have the highest confidence in our abilities. Very few individuals in the world possess that happy consciousness of their own prowess, which belongs to the newly graduated collegian. His mathematics, he has no doubt, will solve for him every complexity of life's questions, and his logic will as certainly untie all gordian knots, whether in politics or ethics. He has no idea of defeat: he proposes to take the world by storm. But we would not be true college men if the above did not apply to us, and are not high hopes and ambitions more worthy ofa young man than vague doubts of future success? So lct ns all join once more in the good old song of Aughtie seven . Mara sunisic, Meta distic. Caravan an du hawg Hey leelo Hey li luln, Hey lntsie sum yah. jonx H. Kll'I.XRS. 23
