The Index. 13 Let us hope that at least one of them may equal in standing and in declamation, the student of ' 75 of the same name. Of military drill and farm work, so far most of us have had a sufficiency. A few brave spirits, however, seem to be unable to get enough of work, and if they retain their present relish for it during the year, an astonishing amount will have been performed. By that time they will probably be able to tell us what they know about farming. We endeavor to do our best in both of these branches; but, as many ct us are green hands, no doubt our best is but poor. We hope, nevertheless, by perseverance, to be able to stand high in all departments ; and, by trying on all occasions to conduct ourselves in a gentlemanly manner, to so improve, that the College will some day be proud of us, both individually and as a class.
