lf the historian were to record every event in which the Class of 1916 par ticipated, the CLINIC would have to appear in two volumes. If you, dear reader, wish to read thrilling accounts of notable deeds, look up in any modern history of the world, or the Encyclopedia Brittanica, the chapters devoted to this niost inipor- tant subject. ' And now I can do naught but leave the fate of the Sophomore Class to the future, and if we may prophesy for the future by a study of the past, we have nothing 'to fear.

Q Sanphumnrv 0115155 Eizinrg D333 .,.. . 'll is indeed pleasant to look back at a brief history of the achieve- u j I D ments of 1916. In the year of our Lord, 1912, the month 'thereof 1 being October, many young men, -graduates and quituates of various preparatory schools and colleges scattered over the na- tion, bade farewell to the parental fireside and sallied forth in answer to the call of ambition. These young men had been - g g g g - chosen by the academic god, as the littest of all the vast horde of their class, to journey over the hills and through the valleys to the Co-llege of Physicians and Surgeons, and there sit at 'the feet of the mighty and gain wisdom. Such was the origin of the class of '16, I who write, am but one of this noble bunch, and they will -one and all verify my statements. ' On the day of matriculation, the proprietors of haberdasheries in the vicinity smiled and rubbed their hands in ecstatic glee as we fought frantically to gain admission to the college, but the Sophomores, outnumbering us two to one, and having advantage of position, held us a't 'bay for the time being. However, such manifestation of the spirit of '76 on our part had the desired result, as we were not bothered by the Sophomores again during the entire year. XYe assembled again last fall, transformed into all-beknowing Sophomores, and were very sorry to find some of our most familiar faces missing from our ranks. At the same time we were equally glad to welcome the few new members, which helped to form a class, which, though small in number, is recognized by the entire Faculty as one of exceptionally good quality. XYe have the honor of establishing a precedent, which we hope will be main- tained by all future Sophomore Classes, that of not hazing the lfreshiesg but ll must add that the Freshmen have at all times had proper respect for their superiors. 29
