True, there was the Collegiate Department, but only about one-sixth of the total number attended this and the standard of work required then is nothing like that required now. The attendance has been constantly increasing, however, and there are now enrolled over 900 students in the various departments. On the campus there are five principal buildings besides several smaller ones, all heated by steam from a central plant. Beside these there are buildings locate d outside the campus including a large Hospital, the Observatory and the Homoeopathic Medical Building. Through the generosity of the city, the public square, situated one block east of the University campus, was given to the state for University purposes. The last legislature made an appropriation for the fine new Chemical Building which now occupies the southwest corner of the square. At the present time the control of the University is entrusted to a Board of Regents. consisting of the Governor of the State and the Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, ex-officiis, and one member from each gressional District, who are elected by the General Assembly for a term of six years. The President of the University was formerly a member of the Board, but this plan has been recently abolished with very satisfactory results. The following is a list of the presidents and the time for which they have served: From To Amos Dean, LL.D 1855 1858 Silas Totten, D.D., LL.D 1860 1862 Oliver M. Spencer, D.D 1862 1867 Nathan R.

Soon to leave a spot around which cluster so many pleasant recollections, we naturally pause to review the record of our class career. Four years have almost fled! Four years! What an age it seemed when we entered as Freshmen, and how swiftly they have passed. How hard it is to realize that our little world, the ideal world of college life, must end, and the practical struggle begin. It is difficult to write the history of a class, since college life, as a whole, is so largely routine. Recitation and study time follow from one team to another with unvarying regularity, and it is with these that class life is closely associated. Each member has his own history and experiences which we, as a class, cannot share. The friendships formed, the culture and training gained are all personal, even the honors won in oratory, declamation, athletics and scholarship, while they gratify class pride and give us redound mostly to the credit and advantage of the individual. Still our personal experiences have much in common. 18
