INDEX. 19 0 vin ( to v;irious causfs, our course in Agriculture has been somewhat cursory and broi en, but we are looking iorward to a ])leasant and profitable consideration of the subject of dairy farming during the coming winter. But enough has been said concerning our work, and we now turn to more general topics. During our stay in college there have been several changes in the administration, but through them all it has rode safely, and now its prospects are brighter than e ' er before. We realize how much greater are the advantages now given to the man entering college than were those of the past, and sometimes we are beset with the desire to live our college days over again. But that is impossible ; our life-work lies before us and is beckoning us on ; there is no time to lose in going back, for the great rush of the world waits for no one; if we do not keep our places in the ranks, others will fill them for us ; let us press boldly on, then, doing faithfullv whatever we undertake, and feeling confident, that, so long as we strive with such motives in view, our efforts will not be in vain.

IS INDEX. — ' 88 — OUR class needs no introduction to the readers of the Index, for al- ready we have given them three articles in its columns, and hence, as we are about to make our fourth and also our last contribution, we feel that we are to bid farewell to old friends. Taking it for granted, therefore, that th y feel an interest in our- welfare, we take pleasure in furnishing such information regarding our affairs as time and circumstances wi ll permit. Our number is somewhat smaller than that with which we had hoped to greet ourf riends, since for reasons as yet beyond our comprehension, we have been deprived of two of our members. One new man, however, has joined us, so that now we cherish the hope of graduating nineteen strong. Since entering college, we have advanced steadily on the up grade, our abundant supply of sand precluding all possibihty of slipping wheels. Our constant aim has been to work together, and it is for this reason that so many of our enterprises have been crowned with success. Our interest in athletic sports has never been dormant, but rather has constantly increased in strength, until now we feel justified in claiming that ' 88 contributes its full share financially and otherwise, towards the support of the college teams. As to our intellectual abilit} ' , we have not much to say, but we can assure you that an hour spent with us in the discussion of psychological questions would convince you that we possess wonderful faculties for original thought and illustration. This same spirit of originality is often prevalent in the laboratory, else how can the fact be accounted for, that a student should test for phosphoric acid in an aqua regia ' ' solution of a common cricket, or attempt to dissolve the contents of chestnut shells in boihng water? Our studies in Natural History lia e been very interesting and instructive, prompting us to say. that in the re-estal)lishment of this chair, we think that the college has and will receive decided benefit. Opportunities are now provided for study and investigation in tlie various departments of this science, and with the explicit lectures, the well-filled cabinets for consulta- tion and the necessary apjjaratus for experiments, there is no good reason whv one mav not become well-versed in this branch of knowledtre.
