The road was new and untrodden, and while our Board labored earnestly and put out a book which was a measure to their ability. cir- cumstances considered, still we shall take pleasure in congratulating the present Board upon presenting a still better volume, which we believe they will do. The remainder of the last year passed very rapidly and pleasantly. The thirteen examinations at the end of the term seemed like a Pikes Peak while approaching them, but as we drew nearer they dwindled down and most of the class passed over them safelyg some, however, were the victims of the unlucky thirteen, and have sought easier fields of conquest, where snap examinations predominate. Finally, it came to pass that after having toiled two long years in the realm of established facts and present theories, and having reviewed the remains of many exploded theories, we were permitted to enter the held of application- special courses. Our ranks have not thinned, but instead roi

have become more thronged, students from other institutions having come to join us and enjoy Rush's superior clinics, and secure a diploma from a school of honor. As a class we have given up rushing in the halls, shouting, scrapping and indulging in any of the unnecessary boistrosities. We have been informed that such things have a bad influence upon patients, and then when we behold and hear the under-classmen, we see as we were seen and can scarcely realize that we were ever so rude. VVe rejoice that the change has come. , Still, when war is inevitable, we can send to the front a goodly number of volunteers who are willing to sacrince their own garments, or the lives of their opponents, for the sake of maintaining a principle. Speaking of exploded theories and war, recalls to mind the day when the Class of '96 attempted to sit in the front row, believing themselves to be the equal of their elders. Cf course it was but a theory, it exploded and went up, as did they to the perch, where they have since peaceably remained. They are to be congratulated, however, upon learning a lesson so quickly, and we trust they will End in the Class of '97 as apt pupils as they themselves have been. VVe have a first grade Cook County class, and we expect to see them obtain a goodly number of the available positions. Our class election elicited some interest. Sweet, the Populist, made an historic speech, in which he attempted to show the folly of partisan- ship and precinct caucusing, but his sentiments were not heeded by the overwhelming opposition, and he sank truth-crushed-to-earth like. Not- withstanding the fact that the class were informed by Arthur Tenney, just preceding the election for valedictorian, that H-o-l-b-r-o-o-k spelled Hol- brook, the vote spelled C-R-A-I-G in upper-case letters. Craig coming from Kansas, fthe state that has produced a Mrs. Lease, a St. john, Simp- son and Pefferj, could but be a star politician. Members of '95 have assisted in winning athletic fame for Rush on the diamond and the gridiron, others have assisted in a very creditable way in making the students' concerts a decided success. The principal innovation of this year is the adoption of Cap and Gown, a move in the right direction, and one in which the class were almost a unit. Ours will be the largest class ever graduated from Rush, and the time is near at hand when our pleasant associations here must practically be ended, still it will always be a pleasure. by the aid of memory, to re-live the days spent at good old Rush. 1o5
