Yes, ' tis true, — ' tis true. As I look back over these years, — this speck of sand in the glass of time, — it seems to me but a dream of mingled pleasure, hope and trouble; and yet is reality.

If you were to take into consideration the many causes for leaving, together with the greatest reagent in the disintegration of a class, — conditions, — surely you would not ask this question? Although our class was cut down greatly in this year by the departure of so many, yet we welcomed into our midst several new classmates who have been and are indeed an honor to 28
