Senior Eoitorial Ever their phautoms arise before us. Our loftier brothers, but oue in blood: At bed and table they lord it der us, with looks of beauty and words of goodni Vtfith what keen insight did the scribe of '97 penetrate the history of his own class when, as he glanced back over the first two years of her course, he wrote that Ninetyseven had naught in the record of those two years. In that one sentence he summed up her whole history in such an inimitable and masterly manner that we would gladly refer you to that statement as the sum total of all that could be said for or against her. But we have found upon examination of his various other statements that they are of such nature that in every case they require confirma- tion. And although we congratulate him that for once he was able to sift out the truth from the multitude of calumnies and slanders which so frequently arise, we do not feel justified in asking that you accept even this one statement of his with- out authority. Tradition tells us that Ninety-seven's entrance to the University was decidedly inauspicious. There seemed to be absolutely nothing in that crude and incoherent mass of verdant humanity to indicate that any prodigies were to be launched amongst these classic realms. To be sure the class was treated to the innumerable receptions to Freshmen by the goodly people of the town, and here some few made the acquaintance of those fair ones who in earlier days had charmed the paternal ancestors of these same young collegians. However, Ninety-seven seemed to find society slow and tedious, and has since shown a marked abhorrence of all things whatsoever of a social nature. Of course there are exceptions and several members have taken themselves to the gay pleasures of social life as found on the Battery , where they are untrammeled by wearisome forms and customs. W'ith the exception of a few who had found college life somewhat arduous the class returned for their Sophomore year. It was at this time that the destinies of the class began to be shaped under the careful supervision and training of one whose influence was doubtless Felt4on all sides. Indeed it is rumored that the class is considering the advisability of placing a plaster-of-Paris bust of this W'orthy in the college chapel. It is a thing that should be done. By all means let his illustrious example shine forth to future class presidents. But it is needless to go on with details. The history of her last two years is but a continuation of this barren waste. Of course no other class can possess a I9
