THE BLUE AND GOLD ' HE Class of ' 84 has beamed from beneath its dainty blue cap ; it has swaggered under the mystic power of the Mortar-board ; and it now raises the traditional White Plug, and greets the College World with the tenth volume of the BLUE AND GOLD. No unusual chain of events has distinguished the year just drawing to a close. The Instructor has imposed his condition with routine regularity, and the Professor has remanded the unfortunate with wonted severity. No violent eruption has belched forth from the Regents, and no mighty earthquake has shaken the Faculty. The advocate of sectarian schools, the pulpit orator, and the temperance lecturer have seemingly forgotten us, and even the volcanic press of the State has ceased for a time its gutteral grumblings. Change in the administration of its various departments seems to be the distinguishing feature of our institution. No Blue and Gold has failed to show new names in the Faculty, and a glance at our own tells us that the past year has, in this respect, followed its predecessors. Professor Edward R. Sill ' s resignation from the chair of English Language and Literature took effect on the first of June. Mr. John M. Stillman, Instructor in Chemistry, resigned his position and re- moved to the East at the close of the last collegiate year. Josiah Royce, Instructor in English Language and Literature, left us in September to accept an assistant professorship in Harvard University ; and we regret to say that illness has deprived us of our esteemed Instructor in Surveying, Mr. John W. Bice. The chair of Mathematics, left vacant for one year by the removal of Professor Welcker, has been occupied since August last by Professor W. I. Stringham. Professor Albert S. Cook has occupied the chair vacated by Professor Sill, since October 1st. These gentlemen, although comparatively young in life, have already distinguished themselves in their particular branches of study, and during their brief residence among us they have gained the respect and confidence of the students. Mr. C. B. Bradley, for several years favorably known from his connection
