that we had mastered those difficult subjects and were ready to advance to the next class. Our Junior year was one of much smoother sailing than the preceding. In this we had more time to devote to the reading of the works of the great authors and thus our knowledge of the literary world was greatly broadened. The metaphysical subjects which were then presented aroused much interest and discussion and have been among the most beneficial contributions to our college life. As Junior speakers, and as orators and debaters in literary societies we will ever be proud of the record which'the men of 1901 made. And in the management of college publications and all important offices of honor the men of this class took a high stand. In class athletics, the Juniors of the Class of 1901 marched forward with the banner of victory. And in every phase of college life you will find the members of this class liberal supporters of the best interests of their college. The jolly Freshmen of ’97, arc now the dignified Seniors of '01. Our minds and ideas have greatly changed and our ambitions arc of a much higher character than that of being a Senior. 2 Our ideals of exalted characters and true manhood have been very much elevated in our ethical discussions and we are enabled to see life in a much purer light. And in the investigations of other subjects we have had broad fields opened to us from which each one has reaped an abundant harvest. In the literary field of our Senior year we have indeed accomplished a great work, and have cultivated an interest for research in the works of the master minds of literature. The part taken in the literary societies is shown when we see that eight of our number have had the honor of being elected presidents of their societies. And in public exercises and the staffs of both the college publications we have had men holding important positions. When we come to the athletic department we find that the manager for next year’s football team and the managers for both the football and baseball teams for 1900-1901, were chosen from the ranks of the Senior Class. With this record in college we may expect our men to be called upon when they enter public life to direct the affairs of the government both State and National. And we may feel sure of success in all undertakings, if we will profit by the lessons of our excellent instructors. Historian. 5
