Qaenior 9l5oa5tf. ,ag ND now, fellows, as we are about to turn the last page, to find there the little engraved rubric with its talismanic Finis, it well behooves that fi ' these last words of joy and wisdom from happy men be placed in this book. Life for these four glorious years on our beautiful campus has been too full of rich and manifold experience not to enable us to add our quota of advice and instruction. Of course we must address mainly freshmen, speaking comparatively. On this account, we will take some of this valuable space to merely tell these three lower classes, who follow Where We have trod, how we have gained and in turn strengthened our beloved Alma Mater. Our entering class was t11e largest without exception that has ever entered this institution. It numbered 116, if memory serves, and though it has, through the law of survival of the fittest, now come to number forty-two, who dare say that it is not the best, brightest, finest and Qremembering the ladiesj the loveliest of classes in any institution? Our record has been one for true admiration. On the field of class honor we have swept everything before us. The opposition of our miserable opponents has been ill-starred and unfortunate to them. Our uuderclass banquets have been striking successes and our little rushes on tl1e green each time a victory and a gloating. Scholastically we have imbibed instruction with an insatiable desire and capacity for more. Why do Bill's eyes so merrily twinkle and his voice so sweetly sound this year? Why has our beloved Forbes at last obtained a rest and period of travel? Ah! because they have at last found the ideal class to instruct and their hearts are content and joyful. Why, indeed, the new Hall of Science, if not because our class has set the mark of higher scholarship and shown the need for broader and increasing equipment? And now, Alma Mater, as a class our record of four years in the covert of thy wing is written. How much thou has done for us there is no means of measuring. Into each of our lives thy spirit of industry, faith and following duty has entered. Into each of our hearts has entered the love and courage which thy dear name inspires. We will be faithful to thy traditions a11d tl1y counsels for We know that they are good and thy influence and directing hand will point for us ever to the fleeting land of Hmeliora. U And now, comrades, as we are possessed by the spirit and affection of that dear name of U, of R., let us give one resounding cheer of exultation in her eternal glories and everlasting victories. 23
