22 Tl-IE PEDACOGUE And it came to pass that in ye junior Yeare flux femina facta, and she was Young. NVith this Young Counsellore to advise and lead them ye Classe did enter with more vigor into ye friendly rivalry of ye Games. and they did defeat ye Seniors, and were, therefore, called ye Championes. And none after them did have like honor. Moreover this was ye yeare in which ye Festivals occured- to wit, ye grande Ball, called ye Prom 3 and ye grande Feaste, called ye Banquet 3 and ye grande Receptione. And they did rejoice and were exceeding glad. And now ye Tyme doth draw near when ye Classe life will be ended. Once again have they chosen a woman for a leadere who shoulde guide and inspire them. And they call her l3ristol. Harde hath ye Classe tried to bear them- selves with ye Dignitie becoming .to Seniors an-cl embryo pedadogues to leave a Proude Remembrance to Classes to come. Hereafter will ye rankes of Nineteen Thirteen scatter to sundry landes. Some with strengthe gained from ye contending will propagate greate causes. and force nationes to granite them theire demandesg but more will carry with them wisdom and will spreade its seeds abroad and helpe it to grow in ye heartes of ye youthes. And we woulde this mote be so. jizssuz G. Come.

NEW YORK STATE NORMAL COLLEGE 21 iniatnrg nf the 0112155 nf 1513 nf the Stair Nnrmal Glnllvgr From flze Earliest Records of A11-tl1e11tle I-Ilstory to tlze Present Time, Collected, Collated and T7'tll18C7'llJCd from Original Malzuscripts I N ye ancient Bookes of ye College which is called ye Normal, in ye city i of Albany, it is writ that in ye yeare of oure Lorde one thousand nine hundred and nine, a Bande of Youthes and Maidens, the Like of which ye College had never before seen, did assemble before ye Doores of ye College, and did request to enter therein. And it is writ that it was granted them to enter. And they did enter and greate was theire joye thereat. And ye morning and ye evening were ye first day. - And it is saide that Menne differ as to Reasones for theire coming. Some said it was a Desire for Social' intercourseg others favoured the opinion that self- development stimulated them, but ye Records of ye Bande show that theire Pur- pose was to forme ye Classe of Nineteen-Thirteen, and to be ye future Teachers in ye schooles. And ye raines descended and ye Hoodes came, but the older tribe of 1911, following ye ancienlte and honorable custome, did builde an arke for ye newe comers and gave unto them ye name of Freshmen. Whereat ye Freshmen, thinking ye Tyme to be ripe did choose unto them- selves a chiefe, and forsooth, they did choose one frome amonge them whose name was Steer. And they did dwell together in unity and they did growe in wisdome and knowledge. And anon, many and strange things were said about ye Classeg some did bear ye name of Grindsg others who did seem to know much were called Bluffesg and others showed themselves to be mighty in- ye Game of Basket Ball. ' And many and divers deeds did ye class do which are all writ in ye Bookes. In ye next year ye Classe did become Sophomores and Cook ruleth in ye meetings of ye classe for many days. Of this yeare little is writ in ye Bookes, but it woulde seem that some did not worshippe much at ye shrine of Minerva, and did flunke and cutte. Wlierefore ye Facultie smote them harde, and did make them to think themselves like unto childrene.
