The Seniors have often appeared in the Gem of the Mountains written up by a member of the class. Whether this method has been adopted because a Junior might be biased has not been ascertained. But the Juniors feel that upper-classmen days are those of dignity, and that youthful pranks have long since been forgotten. to be a fair one. Of the 76 Freshmen in the Fall of 1906, but 28 are left as Seniors. Some Faculty member at that time may have wondered how all that multi- tude could ever graduate from the University of Idaho. That person may have wondered with some degree of accuracy, for it is probably due, with a few noble exceptions, to the law of survival of the fittest that we have our present Seniors. Hence this judgment ought One can scarcely conceive that this class were ever Freshmen. Possibly it is only tradition and not real fact. Were you to think over the list of Seniors, you could not find one that the University is not indebted to for its fame. Turn to the Athletic Department and prove this for yourself. Look at 23 debate and oratory and you will find that some of the keenest thinkers ever in the institution have been members of the Class of 1908. Page through the new organizations and see that the Seniors are lead- ing in all parts of Idaho’s advancement. But what we see in our Seniors that is worthy of the highest praise is their determination for higher education. With but a few exceptions they are not satisfied with one degree. One is undecided between Cornell and Columbia, one between Cornell and Chicago. Two will take graduate work in some large Eastern institution. Three will get electrical training with the General Electric Company of New York. One says, “I’ll tell you in the morning.” Several will go into educational work. Two will return to Idaho. One will go to Berkeley or Columbia. Several are not decided just where they will take their advanced work. So we bid the Seniors farewell with the assur- ance that we shall hear of them again connected with movements of great moment and with problems re- quiring trained intellects.
