Most of our time is spent on our studies ; this is especially true of the man who repi esents the comparative degree of an inhabitant of Holland. Yet in athletics the outlook is encouraging. We are not lacking in other attractions. We have the only original ' Little Doc in our class, and though he often smiles in chapel, he is of a pious turn of mind. The son of another of our esteemed Faculty promises to produce several interesting volumes on navigation, which he is studying in a practical way on the college lake. Leverett has furnished to our class her famous red-headed giant, who is often seen in company with the black-haired South Amherst dwarf. But our greatest glory is the only man in college who has been a Freshman for the last three years. We have great hopes for the future — the past, at least, is secure. We shall spare no effort to make for ourselves a record that shall do honor to the class and to the college of which we have so recently become mem- bers. W. A Pew- Sp =- ' Ti .ris, o ca 27

GIX. ft THE short time that we have been at Aggie has been full of interesting incidents, and doubtless will be remembered as one of the pleasantest terms in our college life. In spite of mathematical difficulties, in spite of setting-up exercises, in spite of the ravages of a harmless Owl Club, we have lost none of the brave-hearted men who entered last Sep- tember. Soon after college opened, we accepted a challenge from Ninety-eight to a rope pull. When the day arrived and our teams took their places on the Campus, it was found that the Sophomore team had heels the like of which we never before had seen. They differed much from the ordinary, and appeared to be a cross between a celery banker and a Japanese plow. The referee, however, showed his spirit of fairness by ruling out these monstrosi- ties. The vSophomores reluctantly yielded to this decision, and cut off barely enough to answer requirements. With what remained they were able to win fifteen feet of rope, which they could hardly have done with ordinaiy foot wear. In football we challenged them, but they would not play, thus forfeit- ing the game. Our figures were placed on the walks, but after much dis- cussion the matter was compromised by removing all figures vmtil after the next contest. 26
