then our colli-ge days have passed much more evcnlw and with fewer partienlar events around which our memories cluster. Now our college life is nearing its end. Only a few short nmnths are to pass before commencement, when the time shall haye come for the Class of ' o. to separate, never to meet as a class again. We all are looking forward to the time when we shall liegin our life ' s work, but we would be untrue to our feelings if we failed to express a lingering regret that the time of our separation is so near at hand. We have learned to feel that sense of union which always results from a common struggle. Looking back over our college days, we are forced to realize that w ' e have not gotten all out of oiu stay liere that was possible for us to have gotten : but on the whole, we feel that we may congratulate ourselves upon W ' hat we have done. The record of the Class of ' o. is one of which no class need be ashamed. This class has furnished the . lpha Thcta I ' hi as many members as any class in the past. In debating, its record e(|uals that macU ' l)y any previous class. . n(I if it may claim to outstrij) any or all former classes in any particular phase, that phase is athletics. ( )ur class got out a football team in our Fresh year w hich won the championship over all the other class teams in college, a thing beft)re unheard of. . nd more than that, we have held that championshii) ever since. The Class of ' o. has more men who havi- won ar- sity sweaters than any one class in the jjast history nf the I ' niversity. . s already stated, this is a record of which we may justly lie ])rciU(l ; but we have done nothing more than we should have done, because ours is the largest class, and has been at each successive stage of its existence, that has been here since the reopening of the University. W ' e have fought a good tight, and it nciw behooves each and every one of us to go out into the different xocations of life ever remembering that four years ago we ado])ted as our motto for life, I ' lxeelsior. lllST(.)KI. . . 0 ; 19

(Ulir (ElasB of iurtrru-clhrrr. IT HAS lieciiiiK ' my duty tci write a histnrv of tlio present Senior Class. Did I say duty instead of privileije? If S(). it was Ijecause of my inability to do justice to the subject. If this task could be post]5oned for half a centurv so that the memljers of the class coultl have time to show some of the chan s es wroufjht in their li es during- the four years spent here, this history could be written with so much more satisfaction as well as accuracy. l y far the most interesting and important part of our history can onl - be written when these changes have had time to develop themselves. I ' .ut so long as it nnist be written now, we can only give a few trivial incidents of our life here, manv of which have no significance as to what the class, as a class, has done or can do. Well-nigh four years ha e [lassed since the Class of ' o, came into existence as a class. . nd even though, at the beginning, four years seemed a long time to us (to sa nothing of the other trtnibles common to all Freshmen), we arc forced, at this stage of oin- college life, to say, with those who have gone before us, that it has been the shortest four years we ever spent: time does n(jt pass slowly to the busy man. This time, though seeminglv short, has not failed to bring some I ' hanges which we can alreadx discern. . t first we were nearl - oni ' hundred and fift ' strong, Init now we niunbei ' a tritle less than half that manv. A certain cla.ss then in college told us that we were fresli, and we are not dis- posed to deny the charge. Xeillier are we disjiosed to deny that many of us, be it said to the discredit of a few menii)ers of the class above referred to, fared as Freshmen before us had been accustomed to faring, lint the Class of 03 leaves here feeling that it has contril)nted something to a college s])irit which will, in the near future, if it has not already, become sufticienth strong to shield the h ' reshmen. I ' lUt to go l)ack a little in our stor , we feel perfecth ' safe in asserting that there is not a man among us who does not remember, and will not continue to rememlier, the feeling he had when he first reached the Cniversitx. It was an indescribable sort of feeling, and we might say, not entireh- free from unpleasant- ness. W ' e too had heard of some of the trials through which, according to the traditions (if all colleges. Freshmen are called n))ou to pass, lint with the help of some who ])roved to be our friends dtiring that year, together with a verv pleasant though seemingly short vacation, we rallied sufficiently to enjoy another feeling which we all remember, that arising from Sophhood.
