PRESIDENT, Ladies and Gentlemen, Class of :Es Ninety-Seven :-On yonder seats, raised high, rest the product of four years of college training and edu- cation, before Whose gaze and under Whose influence events have occurred which will be historic landmarks in the record of Princetonls successes. Oh, Class of Ninety- Seven! Oh, Class that abolished hazing! Oh, Class of three championships! Oh, Class of the Athenian games! Oh, Class of the Sesquicentennial! Oh, Class, Oh, Class of St. Augustine Minshall Hopper! Oh, Class of good, pure, noble and manly qualities 1 What Words, what sentiments, what language can express the palpitation of my cardiac apparatus, as I see before me Lugs Masson, Sea Captain Curtis and his crew. Oh, would that I had the brush of a Tiger artist to portray Kinks Pardiels vain efforts to escape with the one-hundred-and-fifty-pound prize pump- kin he stole at the Trenton State Fair, or the glowing fiery pen of a Lit. editor to depict Jude Taylor's unflinching devotion to the seven-million-dollar beauty.

18 THE NAssAU HERALD. H We meet lneath the sounding rafters. Yes, yonder are the same old rafters, and here are we to commemorate the birth of him who was First in War, Second in Peace, and Third in the Hearts of his Countrymenf' a When George hrst clapped his optics on this mundane sphere he was but a mere youth, but, unlike Bunnie Hutch- inson and Marbles, attained the full stature of manhood at the age of sixteen. These two diminutive brownies, after getting outside of large wads of sterilized milk, H-O and them fat'nin' foods, tripped gaily gymward in hopes that vigorous exercise might add perchance one cubit to their stature. Mr. Goldie did not see it that way. He threw them both out, and left them to nurse their poor bruised bodies, remarking to Ned Shortz, the shot-putter: those tow11 kids will be the death of me yetf' ' Geo. Washington,s early life was spent in throwing cold hands with Pop Keener, and chasing the fleeting deer over the virgin hills of Virginia. Spot Stahl never chased any- thing but a can. Washington made Cornwallis eat such large, luscious slices of American crow, that Shi Thompson's grandest feats of gormandizing would be as the iiame of the light- ning-bug to the glorious effnlgence of the noon-day sun. W'ashington showed that he was a good sailor by tying the British Lionls tail into any number of hard and difficult knots, and Bill Church told me on the quiet that it would be fourteen thousand seventeen hundred and ninety-six years before he would get them untied. Georgels name will be handed down to posterity, but let us not forget that Ninety-Seven has lasting -names,--names that will not only be written high upon our Country's tablets of honor, but also be left unerased on Jimmie Calhounls slate. W3Sl1i11gtO11 was a great man, but so was Robert Garrett. For did not Bob, after the Athenian games
