been built and launched on a prosperous voyage with a captain and a pair- oared gig furnished so generously by this same enterprising, patriotic class? These are only samples of the achievements in every field of action. Why continue? Many other events are of great interest to particular mem- bers of Nineteen Hundred, but we must 11Ot meddle with matter properly autobiographical. We will not narrate the unfortunate loss, in our first blissful year, of one dear to us, whose fame spread so readily through Syracuse, having been already spread in Baldwinsville. We will not tell of the class meeting con- ducted strictly according to Robert's Rules where more eloquent oratory burst forth than in any college debate before or since. We will not even mention tl1e much vexed Cap and Gown question, or the numerous Senior meetings that have been necessary in order for Nineteen Hundred to deter- mine in what way Class Day should be celebrated. No, none of these things shall be recorded-enough that they have been and are not. As we commence life in that awful environment referred to as the world let us hope that the flesh and the devil will be manfully resisted and triumphantly overcome.

Bistory of Nineteen Hundred CLASS YELL Bi, bi, bil Bi, hi, bi! Nineteen Hundred S. N. YJ OR the fourth and last time must the attention of the public be called to the best and largest class that has ever entered or left A! Syracuse University. Very many things are wont to be said of the history of a class when its existence as a class is nearing the end and they could never be more appropriate than now. But to us who have had the privilege of belonging to 1900, any narrative of its history would seem inadequate, all descriptions pale 5 while to those who are outside even a mild account seems overdrawn. The same observa- tion has been made with reference to the descriptions of love-scenes. There are those among us it may be noticed who will appreciate the force of both remarks. 19oo is not behind in this particular for already Cupid has found a goodly number of victims among our ranks, leaving, however, to the yet unknown future, immense probabilities. The retrospective glance sees many experiences-both of victory and defeat, disappointment and desperation, promise and fulfillment. Some of them we would gladly live over again, but then, there are others. The reforms and improvements that have been part of our history it is well to enumerate. Have not ever-ravishing lits, Hawthorne, Lowell, and Athenian lits of another kind, and the writing of theses been forever abolished? Have not three new buildings been added to the University property under tl1e wise supervision and oversight of Nineteen Hundred? Has not the attendance of students at our beloved Alma Mater been increased nearly fifty per cent since the influence of 1900 was felt in the land? Truly this is no vain boast, but is substantiated by registered statistics. Did we not edit an ONONDAGAN in the Junior year of our pilgrimage like to no other college annual which has yet appeared on the surface of the earth? Have not athletics steadily improved since Nineteen Hundred have taken so large a share in them? Did not the most encouraging foot-ball season ever known in the annals of the University begin and end last autumn, captained and managed by Nineteen Hundred? Has not the Syracuse navy .3 24
