History of Class of 1903 E37 tg HE more we live. more brief appear our lifes succeeding stages, says Campbell in his River of Life. and we are in a position to feel, perhaps for the first time, the impressive truth of his words. Each year of the college course possesses distinct characteristics more or less pleasing in their nature. ln fact some of them are felt at times to be agreeable inversely as their dis- tance from the point of application. For instance, when a pitcher of ice water is poured down the inverted trouser leg of one who cannot see why he should not smoke a pipe onhthe walk. But twelve months brings a. change, and next year it is the victim who holds the pitcher, and he is thus enabled to view his surround- ings from a more elevated standpoint. So it is all through the sophomore year: having learned to obey, the second year men are qualified to exercise control, and they enjoy a sphere of distinct use- fulness in the college world. How much shorter seem the terms now! Midyear's past, baseball here, and before he has fully awakened to the fact the man of two college winters finds himself permitted to don the dignified mien of an upper class- man. He leaves college in .Tune to be gone three months. During this time he comes to a more complete understanding of his position in college, and the universe in generalg a very distinct change has unconsciously been wrought within him which is noticeable in the manner of taking his seat in chapel for the first time after his return. I think every graduate will concede his junior year to have been the fullest and most completely satisfactory of the four that constituted the joyous period of his college existence. To us who are just completing our third year it is, of course, impossible to describe the feelings of those in the senior class, but it is easy to appreciate their emotions as they see the days go quickly by, and the time of their departure drawing near. We men of Naughty-Three shall have the mutual pleasure of association for yet another year, though it is the shortest of them all, and feel open to congratulation on this fact above all else. At the end of that time W-ill come the consummation of our youth, and we may say in the words of Browning, Thence shall I pass, approved A man, for aye removed, From the developed brute, a god though in the germ. The critical point in our history as a class has long since been safely passed. We are just in the prime of life, so to speak, and as we stop for a few moments of retrospective contemplation, a quiet glow of satisfaction pervades our being. The train of memory carries us swiftly backward. :Events of the months just past shine brightly, adding their lustre to the achievements of our earlier days, until we see as clearly as if it happened yesterday our first great struggle. It was that same contest and final victory in maintaining our numerals on the gymnasium roof, at risk of life and limb for two full hours that taught us the great truthg in union their is strength. How well that lesson was learned our subsequent history illustrates. The tale of Naughty-Three's freshman banquet will make the hearts of new men beat faster for years to come. Trinity's track team found an elixir of life in the men who won for us the underclass meet, and from our ranks are chosen the corner stones of other athletic structures. The success of the Junior Promenade exemplifies the social attainments of Nineteen Hundred and Three, and her strong representation on the musical and literary organizations bear witness to the earnest fulfillment of the sentiment ex- pressed in her motto, non instrenui laboramusf' R.
