History of the Class of Iooo .25 T VVAS on the 25th of September, eighteen hundred and ninety- six, that the history of the class of 1900 began. At eight o'clock P. M., the opening lecture was given. All that day the , , corridor of the university was more or less crowded with freshmen, who, realizing that an initiation was inevitable sooner or later, and knowing that delay would be dangerous, organized at an early hour. The following day we took our Milk, as is the custom with all freshman classes. It took us but a few days to realize that we had Three Fifteen-Year men among us, otherwise known as the class of '99. They were taking a three-year course, while we were compelled by the State law to remain four years at the trying ordeal. They had matriculated one year sooner, when the State law said Only three years for you, boys, that is, if you are for- tunate. Vfith the aid of these individuals you may imagine that we felt a little more muscular, and after a few rushes and tugs ofwar, the juniors could no longer be considered the champion class in that particular line. During the remainder of our Freshman year, we slowly but steadily suc- ceeded in climbing the Hills of various sizes and varieties, this task being comparatively easy to some, to others-well, time will tell. As Sophomores we had little to say. However, being the first Sopho- more class ofthe University of Buffalo, and also being pioneers in the study of Bacteriology, we though! we were quite the fad. In fact we saw Bugs devouring everything in the category, even to the extensive growths of locks on some of our classmates heads. Vifhenever representation of our class was needed, we were always at our post, ready to participate in Athletics, Glee Clubs, etc. As students we did our duty in every Professors estimation. In our Junior year we began to realize the meaning' of the words Col- lege Spiritf' and thus became a little more interested in class politics. Elec- tion occupied a little more time than in previous years, but after a struggle we succeeded in electing oiiicers. During the year we met many new faces' these having been transferred to us when Uld Niagara laid down her arms. I Our schedule seemed rather small, and many remarked 1 am not get- ting rny money's worth. YVhen we were writing on some of the Exams, all of us seemed to be getting all that belonged to us. Ifast fall we again assembled in Alumni Hall, for, we hoped, our last opening lecture as students. lNe were now to enter upon the dignified l
