THE COL-LEGIAN 5 well as honor for their class in the class room, on the athletic field, in the literary secieties and in every branch of college life. Graduation and leaving college are always sad and-oh, how sad in our case! If we could only stay here a few days longer, in our capacity of shining examples to those less for- tunate mortals, the present su-b-seniors who are struggling, vainly thus far, to attain the heights so easily reached and kept by ourselves. They would keep us if they coul-d, but the world calls her greatest and we obey her call joyfully,- yet with a sigh of pity for those we needs must leave behind. Our Hrst year was almost entirely spent in rubbing off our greenness, and in getting equipped for our part in the great work that lay before us. As the days crept slowly along, we were gradually smoothed off and polished by the slow moving P. C. machine whose sole business is the -manufacture of men out of the raw material with which its feeder is replenished each fall. We were given the usual doses of Algebra and Geometry- only more so, not because it was at all necessary for us to re- view these subjects, but because they were scheduled for the first year. The professor soon recognized our mental superi- ority and entered us in Sop'h. Matlh. because we, unlike all cther classes, like notoriety and decided not to take the re- view course in Fresh. Math. But a few fell before the guns of Latin. We produced one star in baseball and from all evidences We should produce noted orators in the future. Our Sophomore year abounds with many great events. It was then that we laid aside our Freshman meekness and as- sumed a bold garb. As for pleasantries as- oh, well, every one knows what fun Sophs can extract from very little things, we did all these little things-only rather extensively. We do not remember what classes we were supposed to at- tend that year-one grows confused in trying to remember all the minor details of a four year 's course, full of real col- lege work. We shall from lack of space refrain from giving

6 THE COLLEGIAN an account of our success in this work for pretty fair write ups of the games and other important events were always given in the papers. The greatest time is the present, we have now arrived in the midst of the third chapter. We were Juniors. We lived up to the customs of Juniors. We assumed a more logical, dignified, mien. We made our most brilliant marks in Eco- nomics and Logic, although at times we would change our recitations into picnic concerts or what else we would decide to do-of our own accord. Our baseball player was still star- ring and at the height of fame. Their names will be record- ed in history as very noted men. At this time we were also producing some stars in Track. Having arrived at length at our Senior year, we have turned ourselves industriously to rounding out the college course. Some are studying who did not study much before, while others are turning their attention from books to men. W'hen we are out in life of anot'her sort our friends will have reason to believe that, just as we have been meeting our work better this year than ever before, so 1913 will meet its re- sponsibilities fully and squarely, and realize its motto Nihil Nisi Optimum , and come indeed to the front. And now let me say how glad I am that it falls not in the province of the present history to take in the approaching commencement season, when, though at the sight of the well- earned diplomas, we must sadly break the ties which have during four years of mutual enjoyment, fellowship and re- spect, bound us so closely together. May Fortune deal kindly with us, and especially grant that we may always remain in situation close together as in heart. Historian. Class Prophecy. I had gone through all the usual feelings, emotions and nerve racking circumstances that accompany the departing
