W it rising at the present time. That night, the greatest one in our his- tory, was the turning point in our college career,.for, in the twelve hours preceding it, we had met and conquered our greatest enemy, 'V and had thus passed over the barrier which separates the rollicking, 53255563 i sign-stealing sophomore from the dignified upper-class man. Did we then rejoice? Ask the Hoboken police.-Not even the fact that our procession was led by the Drum Corps of some Hoboken Sunday-school kept us quiet. Professor Bristol prophesied that the rejoicing would be limited to a very few, Professor Wall, like Brer Rabbit, ff laid low and said nothing, but it was evident to us all, after our quiet song and dance in his hall-way, that he thought volumes. Some of our reports showed he had not been dreaming, and then we did the thinking. In justice to Professor Bristol, it must be said that he did End a few students who had been wast- ing their time in his department, and whom he conditioned, one or two having since been missing from the class. One of these, they say, having grown tired of mathematics and Hoboken, left for the soli- tude and drowsiness of a plantation home, where he might forget the charms of a foot-light beauty in the soothing influences of a Cuban cigarette. A few days after the burning of Calculus, when our enthusiasm had cooled down under various modes of treatment, we reported to Professor Denton at' the Institute for our first duties as juniors. Then, to our pleasant surprise, we found that the shop would not accommodate '92 and the Sophomores at the same time. Whether Professor Denton feared for the safety of that wing of the building, or of its being pulled by the police, I am uninformed, but at any rate, we were to take shop throughout the Junior year. What the class did through the summer is known only to the members, but, to judge by an event which took place during the Christmas holidays, and an announcement made since, they could not have 'zwzsfcd their time. 21

V Q M , . ,ga- ' -mu Urr the 25th of September, girls, moonlight rides, huammocks, and the various combinations of the Same were go Qutwarcl appearance banished from our minds, as we assembled at the Old Mill for the hardest rear in our college course, and doubtless one which many hope will be the hardest. through life. Proiessor Webb was the first one on the new list and we went fearlessly to htm with Calculus, after 21 tt-C514 of 503 study, at our tongue's end. That is, we thought we did, and 1 have no doubt a few members of the class would have undertaken to have calculated the number of cubic feet in space. But, sad to relate, like Professor Bristol in his prophecy, we were wrong, and soon found, after one lec- ture from Professor Webb, that what we did not know about Calculus would fill several volumes. It was the same way in the other mathematics, especially Co-ordinate Geometry. One student was sat upon for an assertion in Simple Arithmetic. Professor Webb does not waste time or words, and immediatelystarted us in mechanics, and in a way ,ga will never forget. Indeed, an ellipse of stress might even now' be traced among the care-worn lines of a student's face. The tirst impressions of Professor jacobus were not encouraging, for he began his lectures by speaking of a zero circle. Many of the class thought he referred to the A. R. L. Mutual Aid Society and must have thought so all the more, when one of their number, an ex-president, suggested that an indicator card was a combination of a Sinusoid and a Hyperboloid of Revolution. A circular zero was the probable result. We have not, as a class orator has said, learned much of double ported valves in this department, but we have learned one thing, and that is that a pair of dividers is a great labor sav- ing instrument. The class found that a summer's recreation had not changed our old friend, Professor Mayer, in the least, unless it was to increase his rate of talking. Professor Wood was another stranger to us, although we had seen him in combination with a bil liard cue in the Freshmen year. He was, however, a stranger but a short time, for his kindly Ways soon won for him the friendship of all. Die Anna Lise is a thing of the past, and the less said about the Mechanik the better. We still have our Priestlys in Professor Leed's department, and their num- ber rs daily increasing. Doubtless many thought that even old Sweats was trying for that name, when he actually got up and answered a question on the puddling process. '92 is noted, not only for its brilliancy in studies, but for its success in outside things. Her Glee Club, composed of the entire class, is one of which they might indeed be proud. Very little music comes from this organization, but as the professors get plenty of noise, and the rest of the college is told who won the championship, that is all that is necessary.
