Washingtonis Birthday Ovation evening clothes hurried down the steps and opened the door of the car. Bill jumped out, grasped the man by the hand in a vice-like grip. I-Iow do you do, Mr. Brickmaker. I'm mighty glad to know you. Your daughter and I are quite chummy- At this point the man in evening clothes interposed, Pardon me, sir, but I am the butler. Hugh Chaplin is one of the most-anxious-to-please-men in collegef In freshman year some sophomores passing I-Iugh's rooms shouted Lights out. I-Iugh seized his brand new incandescent and placed it out on the Ere escape! Wuz , Howard stroked on the victorious Senior eight this fall. This time last year he didn't know quite as much about rowing as he does now. One day while the crew was at work the coach on the bank picked up his megaphone and shouted, Number 4, are you rowing backward or forward ? One seldom thinks of Judge,' Cooper, Mrs Cupper of the Triangle Club, as an athlete, but he is. A student said to Judge one day. Judge, how did you come to make the Gym team? You're not very strong, are you ? Judge said, My muscles may be small, but they are supple-very supplef' Two birds of the same intellectual feather as Judge are Johnnie Buchanan and Mort Fry. I overheard a trian- gular debate between the three not long ago. The question was, Resolved that the Peripatetic Tendency of the Primate was not characteristic of the Stone Age.

Class Uration HUGH CHAPLIN. This is a period not to be duplicated in all our future living. Probably never again will there be so definite a dividing line be- tween any epochs of our lives.

For only by a thoughtful considera- tion of the four years now ending shall we be able to realize their true significance and relation to the life which is to de- velop. ' We cannot enter properly upon the labors of maturity until we have gained a thorough understanding of ourselves, our purposes in the World and the relation of this completed prep- aration to these purposes. A survey of the past four years will impress us with the fact that, in spite of a nearly similar curriculum, college men learn very differently, each according to his own peculiar nature. They learn as they see and their points of View are widely variant, which is to be expected. But a closer scrutiny will disclose, among these differences, experiences which all of us must have had in common. These four years have indeed been barren if they have not been the means of individual development, self-realization and the at- tainment of self-control, self-government. Each in his own way, has widened his horizon through acquaintance with dif- ferent kinds of people, new modes of living and the wealth of ancient knowledge. New interests and sympathies have been awakened, so that now, having outgrown the narrow con- lines of youth, We End ourselves broadening into full manhood. Who here does not remember the thrill with which he first realized himself a responsible man, in Whom confidence and I7
