ipurple and Gold. VER the lake the mountains lie Folded in purple haze, But the sun will rise, and the mists will die In his glorious, golden rays. Over the placid vale of youth Tower the mountains steep, Rugged the way in the search for truth, And the shadows are dark and deep. But just as the dazzling peaks arise From the purple gloom again, So the light will break on our longing eyes, And the joy will outshine the pain. -'ALICE ROLLIT Cos

Refrospeci. ZOE R.K1NCAID. UR University can boast of almost four decades of history, and yet little of the past has been recorded. Students were just as loyal to their Alma Mater then as they are in the present, but few legends and traditions have been handed down. Founded as the University was in territorial days, it grew with the country, and the epochs in its history were the appearance of new presi- dents. The character and policy of the University has so repeatedly changed that its development has not been continuous. Even when started upon its true career in the new buildings, there were difficulties and struggles to check its progress. With the inauguration of President Graves came a new era-the most pros- perous and the most brilliant the University has yet seen. The past year has been characterized by strong class feeling, by increase in the number of student enterprises, by broadening of our inter-collegiate relations, and by a general awakening in every department. Some valuable additions have been made to the faculty. Dr. Colegrove has come to us, a man of wide knowledge and experience, and in his classroom he succeeds in deeply interesting the students in his work. Professor Priest has brought with him the true university spirit. Particularly in debate has he caused his influence to be felt, and the enthusiasm created in this line has never been paralleled before in the university. With the coming of Dr. Byers the depart- ment of pharmacy has been re-established, and his work in chemistry is looked upon with much appreciation. Another important department, the law school, with Dean John T. Condon at its head, has been added this year, and has proved an entire success. If there were any fears concerning the practicability of the dormitories, they are now all dispelled. The change they have made in student life can hardly be over-estimated. In a large measure the success of the year has been due to their establishment. A happy innovation in the way of chapel exercises has been tried. These meetings every morning have done much in bringing the students together, and have made them realize that college life is not all study, but that the broader the relations become between students the better that life will be. In this con-
