History of the Centennial Class—1901 THE Class of 1901 lias the honor of being distinguished as the “ Centennial Class,” and it is indeed fitting that this honor should be conferred upon such a noble body of young men. Young men of high ideals, noble character, lofty ambitions, imbued with the spirit of independence and courage, and determined in every duty undertaken. To mention the many honors and victories won by the members of this class, in our college life, would be impossible in so short an article. But in looking back over our college career we find our men in almost every struggle for college honors, and in almost every position of importance and responsibility we find men of this class at the head. Beginning with the jolly Freshmen, of four years ago, when starting out upon their long journey, those tics of love and bonds of union, of which we can yet boast, were made and scaled. Though with their share of the “ tinge of spring ” this unity made them strong and they were never baffled by any foe which came within their range. It is true that some of the paths of our Freshman life were rough and perilous, but all Freshmen have to become acquainted with college life. We soon learned how things were done at college, and in after years it was our pleasure to help conduct other Freshmen along that road which all newcomers must travel. While Freshmen our ambitions were indeed lofty. The goal for which we so eagerly sought was the thought of some day attaining the high distinction of a Senior. With this end in view we fought bravely the battles of the Freshmen, and whether in the classroom, upon the gridiron, or upon the diamond the Freshmen were seen and heard. As Sophomores we were in a position to enjoy with the upper-classmen the actions of the timid Freshmen, but this fun did not last long for we were soon busily engaged with the subjects of which we had heard the upper-classmen speak so much. The work of our Sophomore year will be remembered as the most difficult in our college course. We soon saw that to be able to master the methods and problems of Mr. Wells, the history of the English people as recorded by Mr. Gardiner, and the beautiful Homeric stanzas it would be necessary for a Sophomore to bum the midnight candle, lose many hours of sweet sleep, and refrain from attending the social gatherings which would have been a source of great pleasure. Although our work in the Sophomore year was quite burdensome, we see a number of our men taking an active part in athletic contests and in many instances coming out victorious. And now as the year was drawing to a close we were proud to know 24
