with our friends and neighbors, the Pharmics and Dentsg but with much energy, so that we are soon made the victors, sine-qua non, and are acknowledged to be the peer of al classes by an admiring world. Our Sophomore year was replete with much interesting though hard work. We are the first class to enjoy the privileges of the Physiology Lab, under the able tuition of Dr. Busch. We readily recall the almost superhuman efforts made by old Geo R., Baldy and Lurgy Roberts to demonstrate certain practical experiments. Some one hath said, 'Twas the first time they imbibed-let us pray that 'twill be the last. . During our Junior year the short trips to the various clinics were enjoyed by all. Much rivalry exists between our two stout members as to who occupies the more room in the street car. After much exertion, puffing and the like, it is decided a close tie, but the fat men are requested to sit on opposite sides of the car, as a general precautionary measure. Thus we pass to our Senior year. hlany of the old familiar faces have long since left our ranks. Some, mayhap, to take up college work elsewhere, others to return to the dear old farm. Those few of us remaining, ,privileged to taste of the future, are thank- ful to a supreme degree. We begin to realize how near we are to the goal of our life's ambition. We are brought into intimate contact with our Faculty and made to appreciate that the grandeur of medicine lies beyond all description. That to be successfully carried out, it is a life's work. A work of earliest concentration, toil and study. - It is my earnest wish, and I am sure that of the entire class of nineteen three, that we may never be found wanting but always ready, as physicians, to uphold the standard as set by our Faculty and our dear old Alma Mater.
