24 THE HALCYON. (§LASS OP ' 8$. THE Class of ' 84 is small in numbers, but it holds the opinion that it is no excei tion to the rule, in making up in quality its lack in quantity. It contains an unlimited source of knowledge of every description, and still has the capacity of acquiring much more, as both men and women of wonderful minds are here found. ' Tis the Juniors who ar able to boast of being descendants from the best blood of England, Scotland, and Ireland ; and great consideration is paid by them to escutcheons. We have men and women of all characters, from the laziest to the most studious, at the same time, affording fitting examples of conceit, modesty, gracefulness, style, plainness, in fact, all but beauty, of which we are completely destitute. We have the tallest man in College, the shortest, several of powerful muscular strengtli, and an orator who can debate for hours, days, and months, even, upon topics of which he knows nothing. Evidently, members of ' 84 are doomed to win renown before many years elapse, after leaving their Alma Mater.
