Freshman Academic. To write or not to write that is the question, For lo! the subject that is set before me Is one from which the wise man turns in scorn, And e'en the fool doth mock it. Grand old INI. S. U.l Columbia! Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the plain! NVhy gazest thou with such calm, self-complacence at the ttClass of 98? The answer is inevitable-she's the popular pride of Missouri HU. Unrivaled she stands in beauty, brains and banners-ia thing of beauty and a joy forever. And now as I trace upon paper some of the visions that Hoat across the dream- land of the past of '93, I can not say how much comes fancy-Wise and how much from this vaulting memory. Gentle reader, thou canst judge best. Part evolving from the unsearchable darkness of Prepdom, part of ninety- sevenites, who, receiving ahearty encore from our venerable faculty, shook the dust from off their pedals and joined the ranks of '98, the rest from Osage county, living mementos of the ttTale of the Tubs -a motley throng assembled in those spacious halls of learning and took their places in the rank and Hle of t'Missouri's legions. ' Uayseed Hoating from his disheveled hair, and cheeks stained with homesick tears. the timid freshie goes through that terrible ordeal of entering and at last, his face beaming with his Hrst triumph, he carries his card to our noble Prexy and emerges from the register's ofiice, booted and spurred and ready for the ride. XVhat a ride! But-enough of unpleasant retrospections. We have learned that the path to the temple of Apollo is not always strewn with apple blossoms but sines. eotangents, Sallust. Cicero and Xenophon impede our progress at every step and haunt us in our dreams. But there is a tide in the affairs of classes which taken at the flood leads on to fortune. In such a sea was '98 aHoat, and happily she took the current as it flowed and won the venture. The class of '95 has assumed her position in college society matters with all the exquisite grace of a Parisian belle. Witli such social lights as bliss Gordon, lithel Iiogard. .Xsbury, Robinson, Plovvman, Kitt 3l'ltl'l1lll'I'1C1'Ol1S others whose llilllf are hid under a bushel. why should not '98 forma large part in 'tMissouri's upper crust? io
