l|islnri| nf ' 96. - N this, the University ' s centennial. ' 96 greets one and all with happy hopes Vf and gladsome confidence. In its endeavor to keep pace with others, and to ' nj touch shoulders with them in worthy comradeship and honorable ri alry, IV ' ' 96 has no ragged record to present. Our year ' s history is one of which we are proud, of which we boast with a good conscience. ' 95 boasts of her large numbers, the largest Senior Class since the w ar ; but with our fifty-six may we not expect to outri ' al e en 95 in the number of graduates? With our many predecessors, we give to Junior year its just award. For us it has been a year of pleasurable profit, a turning point in our college course, a long step forward, let us hope for each of us, on the road of true development and life. We have this year enjoyed larger liberties, wider experiences, — a fitting preparation, we hope, for the dignity of Seniority. The former factions which divided us have been fortunately united, and we present an unbroken front with a single set of class officers. In athletics we are easily supreme. With six men on the foot-ball team and a ' 96 man for captain next year, with four crack players on the base-ball team, with the champion tennis player of college, with men at the front in every department of college athletics, our class pride is not without foundation. Our class foot-ball team, though weakened by our strong representation on ' Varsity and scrub teams, was yet at the front in inter-class games, and might have won the championship, had the lull series been played. Not only, however, in athletics is the leadership of ' 96 felt. In scholarship we challenge favorable comparison with the best classes. Nine of our men are members of the honor society, Alpha Theta Phi. This, the great centennial of the University, anticipates a great commence- ment. The officers of this occasion are fortunately men of ' 96, and in the efficient and worthy men chosen for these duties abundant satisfaction and honor may be expected. To the University student each year appears his best and happiest. So it has been with ' 96, so may it be with her remaining year. May it witness the severance of few bonds of happiness, but the formation and strengthening of many more. Historian of ' 96. 23
