IMAGO STAGE. On reception night these priestly robed figures lead forth the young embryos into the ways of social hierarchy. The full mean¬ ing of life is upon them. The old ideas and habits are changed to new and modern ones. Each one taking under his care a number of young Sunday school embryos, his wings begin to develop, and the long, solemn face of seniority and piosity appears. In the cool autumn air one of our number, rather small in size, but of strong wings and an extraordinary proboscis, soars Zion-ward on airy pinions of oratory, bringing back later the laurels of inter¬ collegiate victory. Then, too, those of athletic trend organize them¬ selves into a nine and challenge their senior imagos (the Faculty) to a game at the bat and beat them to the tune of “The Butterfly Ball. ,, When the winter season comes on, development is arrested for a time, but as the spring again opens up the fully developed imago appears. With special providential privileges, which the queen of the realm bestows, he wanders forth into the timber with his choic¬ est mate, the companions of the sunlight and breeze. This, in short, is the history of the class of 1906, for, indeed, it has been necessary to omit many of the important and interesting features of these delicate specimens. But we hope that ou: zoolog¬ ical aspirants may be interested in their peculiar development, and be encouraged to look further into their life history and watch their effect on the whole race of species of their kind. But further, they have an attraction for the philosopher. For is not their life and development significant of the soul life and development? The larva stage is the stay of the soul on earth, the pupa or quiet stage that of death and finally the imago, that of the soul in its final ideal¬ istic state. With the deep meanings connected with the peculiar and inter¬ esting development, is it any wonder that these zoological specimens have been considered by many eminent scientists as the most inter¬ esting, energetic, individualistic, promising, good-looking specimens which ever decked the campus.
