Class History. HE uneventfulness of a Senior ' s life in those things that make an interesting class history is at once apparent. For the most part the Senior ' s life is free from the struggles and. the strife which make up {y the real history of tinder-classman days. Unruffled by imaginary grievances of an hundred sorts, content with glories won, the Senior settles down to enjoy, in such measure as circumstances will permit, the peace and quietness of the last few months of his college life. Pleasant as were those first two years, pleasant to look back upon at least, a Senior little likes to be disturbed in the quiet enjoyment of his books, to rehearse, even for the edifica- tion of wondering Freshmen, whose lives have fallen short of the pleasure of beholding the achievements of his class, the victories and honors that came with those early years. The writer of this memoir does not intend to dwell in detail upon those days, for it seems to him that their history is already so ineffaceably engraved upon the minds of men, that any mention of them is quite superfluous. It is presumed that all who have heard of the class of Nineteen Hundred and One are familiar with its history; and while the failure to once more chronicle our doings may seem a gross neglect, or an innovation at the worst, is it not true, in view of our achievements, that circumstances for the first time warrant such a course? In the year that has passed, save for one sad event, there has been nothing to disturb the peaceful current of our class life. There has been little of nov- elty and yet no monotony.

differed but little from day to day. The frightful phantom that loomed up in such fearful proportions a year ago has been conquered; Carhart is no more. Our insolvency has been cancelled before the law without the poor debtor ' s oath. The two bugbears of a Junior ' s life have been successfully vanquished. What more pleasing record to look back upon? Summer came at last and with it our chosen life as a class was brought to an end. The vacation season over we returned to college, where our different duties call us more often apart than together. Though time and tide must ever continue to drift us farther and farther apart, classmates in the truest sense we must always be. May the day never come when the memory of our achievements shall not carry with it a thrill of keenest pleasure. To the saddest event that has yet shadowed our life allusion has already been made. Into every life must come a measure of sorrow. In the death of George Crowell Clarke we were left to mourn the loss of one who was dear to us all. The saddest memory of our college days must be the recollection of his sudden death. G. Members. Barry, John Cornelius Hadley. Home. D. G. K. Baseball-Team. Football-Team. Track-Team.
