i§top j of 98. THE class of ' 98 has almost covered its allotted span in college life, and now the duty of chronicling the fourth and final chapter of its history devolves upon us. Pleasure and pain, gladness and grief have been ours, but we are forced to think that these experiences all alike — have been profitable. To give the full measure of praise to the class for all its achievements would be too much commendation for one of its own members to bestow upon it ; but, as history should be an exact record of facts, we cannot fail to record the two most noteworthy deeds — winning the inter-collegiate debate with the University of Georgia, and reviving the University Magazine. As guileless Freshmen, to think of ever attaining the dignity of a Senior was, to us, a dream with only the remotest possibility of fulfillment, but now the reality has come, soon the goal 01 our undergraduate ambition will have been gained, and with a feeling of sadness almost akin to pain, we will bid adieu to Alma Mater, but the word and all the memories which cluster around it will ever be remembered. There is an element of pleasure to soften the sadness of departure ; for our ambitions and aspirations lead us to hope that whatever success we have gained in college, is but an earnest of that to be acquired in after life ; but ' ' whate ' er befall, ' ' as the different walks of life we pursue, we shall always love, cherish and revere the memory of the mother who finds us so weak and makes us so strong.
