History of '99 T LAST we are seniors! It hardly seems as if that were possible, but nevertheless it is a fact. What a vast difference there is in looking backward instead of forward. Four years ago when we were freshmen and people asked us what class we were in, it really required some nerve to say '99, that date seeming such a long way off to us then. But now, when the time is nearly passed and we look back, it seems such a short time. How we used to look at the seniors and think how much they must know, and now how our opinions of a senior's knowledge are shattered. It appears really true that with each succeeding year one seems to know less than the year before. To continue our history from where it was dropped in last year's volume: We had a few more weeks of study before our examinations and, as I' am a senior, I will not relate how we succeeded. This illustrates one point of difference between a senior history and a history of one of the other classes. After the commencement we had about three weeks' work in the field, but that will be ably described in another part of this volume. When we came back in the fall it was rather strange and unnatural not to have any class above us, but we soon accustomed ourselves to it. On account of the resigna- tion of Prof. Stevens, Prof. Anderson took his place as Professor of Physics and Mr. Lawson occupied the position left vacant by Mr. Anderson, as assistant in Mechanics. This change we feel has been for the best and we congratulate both of the above-named Profs. upon the successwith which they have managed their respective departments. - We started in with Resistances and Astronomy under Ricketts and Crockett. In Resistances we had to remember all about allowed unit stresses in tension and compres- sion members, etc. It is sufficient to say that we used to rush once in a while, because when everyone guesses at a number, one has to get it right after awhile. In Astronomy we obtained a very thin book which is very innocent looking, but we had been warned about it and knew it was no cinch. This course was all about different kinds of time and days and the like. We forgot all about it as soon as it was over, so do n't be alarmed. W'e also had some practical work which was' quite interesting. One thing pleased me greatly 21
