That it may Ik- sa.ti o. u they were good a well as great, we address these few words of comfort and inspiration. To those lesser ones who are daily about us: There were, in the year 1903, Juniors whose magnificence, as Juniors, has never lieen equalled, and. according to a great and mighty oracle, never will Ik- equalled henceforth. (Ireat they wcr indeed. The Juniors of tyo- mused upon their glories, ami dreaming, they grew, ami grew to their ideal—nay surpassed it: tho in their unconscious virtue magnifying the grandeur of those In-fore them, they knew it not. Yea. so have we followed the best in those Juniors who have gone before us; so have the lesser Income the greater: so even arc the Seniors of 1905 the embodiment of what was the greatest and best in the Juniors of 1903 and the Juniors of 1904. And let ii' not predict. Who knows when a man or a nation has reached the summit of progress? Who knows when retrograde commences? W'c will he wiser than those whose example has been our guidance and inspiration; we will learn by the demonstrated error of their prophecy; we will not predict. No one knows what lieth in the power of man. 'There will be other Seniors, will there Ik- greater Seniors? You have read the lioast of Seniors. Hearken now to their words of friendship and advice. Freshmen and Sophomores, little friends: The world, those uninterested ones who read this, may think it is not often that your way and ours meet. Hut what know they of ways in the land of Normal? They know not of Freshmen and Sophomore Receptions and At Homes (ten cents) to which all arc invited and Seniors arc urged to come. And tho many of us may have lieen too busy to show our appreciation in the most appreciative way. still we have seen and sympathized with the spirit which you have shown to us all. You have helped to make Normal life for 11s—you will .tc remembered perhaps longer than your youthful lodesty would allow you to hope. 'To Junior , who need advice: You may think it presumptuous for us to advise you. we who but one year ago were where you are now. Yet that is just why we know so well that you need our advice. Last June the practice graduates of t x 4 seemed to make a tiresome, an unnecessary repetition of advice. Hut now we do the N.amc for you. Ve have learned the necessity of repetition. And, that our conscience may repose in peace, we risk the danger of your displeasure and annoyance, ami sav Once again: There are Friday night reports. There are Wednesday evening meetings at 4:15 (there may lie other Wednesday evening “meetings but there are only these for 'practice institutions. ) I here are weekly test questions and spelling lists to Ik- handed in. There are nlans. and notices, and reports. There are boards to be cleaned. There is a quartcrW appearance in the morning exercises of your department ’There are various” things to do—but alx ve all there is a page 4 to Ik- learned, to become a part of your Normal code, an active working force in your Normal hves. And now we have made the vaunted, the traditional boast of Seniors. e have sjHjken ;o you as friends. We may have said too much of ourselves; we Iio|k- we have said too little. Hut it there is anything left to say we leave it to you. O Juniors, knowing that you have appreciated our virtues and forgotten our faults. I‘age twenty-two
