By George W. Nix, President Three years ago some two hundred freshmen tripped with the light fan- tastic toe into the preliminaries of a legal career. Men and women assembled from the four corners of the globe to the halls of learning of our U. S. C., in order that they might from this democratic institution receive a nucleus of law upon which to propagate those principles for which fifty per cent of our boys are now offering their lives. As one glances over the class history he can notice that within a very few months after entering college the light and frivolous heart of the freshman was eliminated to give way for the real foundation for which they came. And why? Probably tear and the toss, the result of battling with Quasi-Contracts and Ele- mentary Law. those two grand old monuments of freshman discipline tended to serve as danger signals, guiding toward an education of service. These college days are about over. As the class unit of '18, we have come to the parting of the ways. It has been the privilege of the majority of our boys to join the colors, that they might with their overt acts perpetuate liberty and justice, that the seeds of Democracy shall not have been planted in vain. To these boys, we who remain, dedicate all respect, all love. and all honorg and now as we stand at the gateway of the final farewell we extend to our Dean, to our faculty, and to our school, not only the sincere appreciation for the services ren- dered, but also for the friendships made. 34
