Class History. AYS the old proverb, Happy is the nation that has no history. So far as material prosperity goes, the saying is probably trne. It would, however, hardly apply as well to a class in college. History is but a record of achievement; the student is, above all things, proud of the achievements of his class and of his Alma Mater. The form of achievement in which a class excels varies widely. Different classes have different ideals. Our Seniors, for instance, pay strict attention to the cravings of the palate. Be its fortune great or small, ' 01 will never hunger nor thirst. It is an impossibility to even imagine that class without plenty to eat and still more to drink. The Sophomores, on the other hand, are strictly temperate to a man, even declining sweet cider on occasion. The bulwark of the local Y. M. C. A. , they are regarded by the Faculty as the soul of honor and the epitome of youthful innocence. Their crowning glory is their scrupulous regard for the truth. For proof of this we have only to refer to the characteris- tic attitude of the class in regard to the stacking of rooms a year ago, the tam- pering with the Senior flower bed last spring, and the — ahem — borrowing of Prof. Cooley ' s rope this fall. Not a single member of ' 03 was connected in the slightest degree with any of these brilliant performances, as they themselves will tell you. We doubt if the Freshmen have been here long enough to get an ideal. If they have one, the large number of them who have gone into the band would seem to indicate that their highest ambition is to make a noise. Probably at this they will be a howling success. But how about ' 02? Well, we will not boast. We do not need to. We will simply let the facts speak for themselves.
