istorig of the lass of '98, UTOPIA. Y far the most troublesome baby to care for during the Spring term was the Utopia Boarding Club. The task of providing live dollar board for three dollars had been such an enviable one that everyone wanted a position on the Executive Committee-for some other fellow. Elections were a feature occurring as regular as meals, one week, and every ofiicer had to be elected three or four times before he knew whether or not he was chosen. In despair we appointed a nominating committee to bring in a list of men who would serve if elected. The committee tried to settle the difficulty by nominating themselves, but as one of their number was in doubt about returning, the problem was not solved, even by this heroic treatment. But even this obstacle was overcome, and business con- tinued at the old stand. TIBBETTS' FAREWELL. HATEVER. may be said about the individuality of '98 men, the way they could unite and pull together is illus- trated by a little event that occurred on the morning of June five. Tibbetts was going away. For two years our only true American had been with us, and we had come to love him. We gathered to bid him farewell and God-speed in his work among his .Indian brothers. Tokens of remembrance were given him, and our farewells ware said. Quietly a change came over our gather- ing, Tibbetts was called from the room, while Dr. Doggett made known to us that the cause of our classmate's leaving was lack of money to complete the course. Dr. Doggett and Mr. Graham said they would assume the responsibility of raising half his ex- penses if the class would pledge the remainder. In less than five minutes one hundred and fifty dollars was secured. Tibbetts was recalled and our action made known to him by our President. The remainder of our meeting was very touching. Tibbetts stayed, finished his course, and goes out with us to-day, trained for his Work among the Indians of the Northwest. MATRIMQNY. I HE way '98 men married during the summer was a cau- tion. Clarke, June 3rd, Elmer, June 17th, Greeley, July 14th, and Slater and Heywood along in there somewhere. Dr. Seerley's lectures on desires ' ' were fast taking effect, and the mengwere preparing for Mr. Burr's Senior year classes. OUR TH I RD YEAR. UR ranks were nearly complete during the Senior year. Berry did not return, and Buxton left us to take the position as physical director at Peterboro, Ontairo. We were sorry to lose Capt, Pebble, for although Harry was a tremendous kicker, he was an enthusiastic member of the class. To be sure he did not always know a :af Hom a rave, and we never could quite reconcile his statement about finding the date of 1603 on a tombstone at East Longmeadow, with his usually good reputation for veracity. But then, most of us have some' little faults, and even as straight a man as Clapp has had to think before he felt sure what his name was. Ramsey returned, but did notrremain with us. Foss was in '99. The trouble with his knee, brought on. by the football game, cost him a year's work in school, besides the months of enforced idleness. - OUR

Tbistory Aft the OUR NEW MAN. NE man came into our group. He speedily found a place among us, and as soon as he caught the sentiment of the Class, showed special skill in adaptating himself' thereto. His haste in responding to Cupid's Knox beat even '98's best record. DR. BALLANTINE. E welcomed with pleasure our new Bible Instructor, Dr. Ballantine, and rejoiced that one was finally secured for this chair at the School. Under his instruction we have learned many precious lessons from the Word, and the year with him has meant much to us. Our Class again showed the spirit that enthused us when we responded to the Doctor' s desire for some maps, and secured the wall and relief maps of Palestine and the case of maps of Bible lands, valued at 5 1 zo, which were presented to the school. The work of mounting the maps was done by the members of the Class. MISCELLANEOUS. Y the time we became Seniors, and were writing theses instead of papers, we had learned a trifle in the art of dis- criminating. We did not fully appreciate this until one day one of our instructors was heard to remark that he had to just jab everything down the throats of those Seniors, while the Juniors took what he said more readily. We would respectfully advise him, In all your undertakings, study adaptation. As Seniors we saw the Hnish of Utopia. Boli's, led by Jerome, and Vevi's, led by Lehmann, and the numerous other
