It would be unnecessary, and in fact impossible, for one to enumerate all the various travels, marriages, pledges, etc., in the life of a class similar to ours, and I will only endeavor to present a few facts to show our general character and peculiar excellence. [Chestnuts!—Ed.] I believe it is generally customary to begin by showing the esteem in which we are held by the various professors, and in this respect we have been unusually fortunate, having been told on a certain examination that our papers were the best ever received; also that we were exceptionally good in regard to attendance. But, notwithstanding our superiority, we are sometimes prone to disregard our dignity, and consequently the professors sometimes reverse the above praises, and one has even gone so far as to say that he thought it would be very appropriate to read the “ riot act ” to us before each recitation. The Spring Debate this year was a grand event. It was strictly a sophomore affair, unlike the debates of old, which were of a very peculiar mixture, mainly “fresh.” It is our intention to uphold all the good customs inaugurated before us, and at present we are perfecting arrangements for a grand banquet, which promises to eclipse the memorable feast of ’89.
