(Elans xtf 1015 COLLEO K career should prepare us for the buttles of life. To prepare for the battle we must learn the arts of war by the praetice thereof. .V student is one who studies—and learns; a person who procures the stored-up learning of the ages through the medium of books, who adds thereto the fruits of original research in laboratory or practice in the field, who learns through intercourse with the rest, of mankind. There are two outward signs of a student’s success—his reports and his participation in student activities. The past successes of a class in the Junior year may be ascertained more comprehensively by the latter. The Class of IS) 15 is proud of those of its members who have fought for the University on the gridiron, diamond, field, floor and court. They are highly endowed with muscle and brain. They have attained success as athletes and gentlemen. They deserve the title of Pitt Men. Many of the members of the class are interested in the club and social life of the University. They are brainy, enthusiastic and therefore successful. The class, as a whole, first emerged from complete oblivion on the occasion of the greatest Cap Night that Pitt ever saw, tin opening gun of the One Hundred Twenty-fifth Anniversary. Class spirit has been promoted by means of banquets and smokers. The Junior Prom was a distinct social success. The Owl—will hoot for itself. The class has witnessed and helped its little share in the upbuilding of the University since the fall of 1011. Old Uni's interests have been their interests. They have at times become impatient, but they cannot be classed as knockers. Their impatience proving their zeal. And so, pausing at the end of tin Junior year, the members of the class look back with a sense of pride and devotion. Having done well, they aspire to grow in wisdom and zeal that they may become worthy to bear the distinction of being Sons and Daughters of Pitt. 14
