Class History of 1900. (,? ( (,9 BEDS speak louder than words, and the poor historian of nineteen hun- dred feels constrained to let her deeds speak for themselves. Therefore, Oh reader ! take courage ; we will only inflict you with a short sketch of what we are. What we have done, you can easily find out by turning over any page, or by glancing down amj column, of either of Tulane ' s periodicals. We came to Tulane a green Freshman class, as green and innocent as a Freshman class should be. We knew nothing and thought we knew it all. We soon found out, however, that some professors knew more than we did. Our ignorance gracefully submitted to their superior knowledge, and they, as a reward of our meekness, dubbed us Lameducks, Hoodlums, Young Gentlemen, etc., and bes towed other opprobrious names upon poor, bewildered, blundering us. But what ' s in a name? The Lameducks waddled through the green sedge of Freshmanhood and boldly paddled out upon the deep, dark pool of Sopho- mority ; and the other calumniating epithets met a deserved death at the hands of their own injustice. As Juniors, we were neither too good nor too bad. We flunked gracefully in physics, but graciously condescended to malie it up; we carried on, with won- derful vigor, the Franco-Prussian war (which historians erroneously believe to be over), and we won the interclass foot-ball championship.

As Seniors, we learned many thing s, and this one thing above all others: To know and recognize the strength of that attachment for one another which four college years, with their community of hopes and fears, joys and soitows, vic- tories and defeats, have bred and matured in us. And latterly, just when the full strength of the tie that bound us together was beginning to be felt in the new pride of our Seniority, death slid into our midst with ruthless suddenness and left our lives less by one living friendship, our hearts sore and saddened. Strong, true and loyal heart ; bright, sunny smile ; unselfish, generous soul ; you have left us who needed you, but you have left us better for having known and loved you. The heai t has gone but of my task. Saddened by a memory that will ever pain, your historian lays aside the pen — the sketch unfinished. But what need of more to you who know? vT r-
