Class History ' 04. ? - ? AND yet it was but yesterday, for what are three years in the boundless vista of the past? — that we passed through the portals of the B. C. D. S. as a large Freshman class whose members represented many States and several Foreign countries. The trials of Freshmen are well known to all, and individualy or as a class we did not escape them; some were taken good naturedly, others were rebelled against, but the fact cannot be denied that victory was ours from the very beginning. One cool and crisp October morning, in the year of nineteen hundred and one, the announcement was made that the Freshman Class would meet after the lecture. Cries were heard issuing from the lecture hall which sounded very much hke Out with the Freshmen , but we did not get out as was conclusively shown a few hours later, for the dignified seniors and the wise Juniors had evidently taken more upon themselves than they had expected. The Class of 04 completely routed their adversaries and held their first meeting while the upper classmen were nursing sore and weary bodies. The Great Napolion said that, The grand principle of war was that an army ought always to be ready, by day and by night, and at all hours, to make all the resistance it is capable of making. So it was and so it has ever been with the Class of nineteen hundred and four. Never since entering College have we been found unprepared, whether for battles or for quizzes. What is left of our many weeks of zealous and artistic work on soap is-barely visible now, having long since been wasted away with the assistance of soiled hands and much water. Of our many delightful evenings spent at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, with those fellow creatures whom we failed to recognize, little need be said, for anything so forcibly stamped upon our memories can never be obliterated, not even by Iiim who causes us to forget our sorrows and joys alike. — Father Time.
