ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY. 31 Junior History. The history of '01 consists mainly of those events which are carefully excluded from the histories of 1900 and 1902. The history of the ordinary class can be written in four words: Freshman, do. Sophomore, doing. Junior, did. Senior, done. Such is not the case with S. L. U. 1901. They are still doing, and in- tend to do a great deal more. To enable one to understand better the narration of events about to follow, a few general facts will be of value. In talking '01 is expert, it can talk any other class in college way out of sightg it has talked more in its career than all the other classes of the University put together. In politics '01, cannot be rivaled. If it does not produce a goodly num- ber of statesmen, it will not be because its members lack practice in that line, but rather because they have had enough of political intrigue already. 1901 knows Roberts' Rules of Order a good deal better than how many class taxes it has paid. As for precedents, those are '01's specialties. The one imperfection in this class is that all were born leaders of men, and it is difficult to find any who were born to be led. Concerning enterprise, on matriculation day, almost before '01 was a class at all, one of the particularly brilliant naughty-ones presented to his class a formally drawn up document, setting forth an elaborate scheme for holding, on that very night, the Freshman banquet in the not very far dis- tant metropolis of Morley. The banquet was to consist chiefly of oyster stew. The aforementioned enterprising youth, author of the ambitious document, was promptly squelched, his menu not being sufficiently swell to satisfy the epicurean tastes of the naughty-ones. When the banquet did come off it was carried out in characteristic style. The plans were elaborate, and the whole college was there. 1901 drove to De Kalb, came back through Canton ina baggage car, and at length reached Potsdam, had a banquet and drove home. On the way
