taught us, but the personalities of the teachers themselves will ever stand strongly in our memories as noble men and Women. Our class is graduating at a time of radical changes in the Academy. The courses of study will remain practically the same, but several of the faculty, persons who have formed a vital part of it, are leaving. It will be hard to imagine the Academy Without Mr. Adams, Mrs. Swing and Mr. Hill. But more hard will it be to think of our school existing Without its principal, John Fisher Peck. He has been its heart and life, and can never be separated from it in our memories. The next principal of Oberlin Academy Will be Mr. Shaw. Nearly all of us have knovvn him as a teacher and have learned to love him for the kind, fatherly interest he took in our Work. It is with gladness, therefore, that We hear that he is to be at the head of the school, and We Wish him all success and happiness in this position. As years roll on and as We go through life, We shall come to realize more and more the debt We owe the Academy. Then may our devotion continue to grow ever more ten- der and our loyalty ever truer to our dear Academy at Oberlin.
