Wo tfje Senior Class CLASS of 1908, we would deal kindly with yoii in these your last days at College. A simple regard for truth, however, compels us to remind you of many things that you would fain forget, and though we wish to chronicle your victories in all fairness, yet Professor Hayes himself, with his army of assistants, could not direct us to any record of them. We searched your year-book, and found that your own common sense dictated silence on this point. Yes, 1908, we will allow that little list of honors to stand. The prnitmg of it will cost us but little, and it may serve as oil upon the troubled waters of your discontent. There are many things that you have forgotten, however. In imitation of 1907, you attempted to publish a set of posters. Do you remember how, a few nights later, you pleaded to be released from Wharton, and how, prompted by a true sporting instinct we drew off and allowed the poor geese to fly forth; and then, 1908! can you call to mind that heap of torn posters which announced to the college Avorld your first defeat at our hands ? But such defeats soon became a commonplace, and, as we would cause you no unnecessary pain, we shall pass them by. It was, however, poor judgment on your part to remind us of that oratorical contest ' for which ijoii could not collect a team; and why, with all your celebrities, did you back out of football and baseball as well ? The history grows sadder and sadder, but, having no desire for a tragic setting and realizing that you must shortly leave us, we will close this chronicle and commend you to the great world outside, whieli is already beckoning to us. We wish you Godspeed upon your way. May you deal as gently with the short- comings of others as we have dealt with yours. 13
