vf attended that historic reception wliich culminated in a brilliant scene upon the cain])us when Dr. Jesse tearfully paid the last sad rites to his woodpile, which rapidly soared to ard heaven, wrapping earth and sky in one red glare ; and as Seniors, we showed the Graduate Club that Ave could S])in tops and drop the handkerchief, (juite as well as translate Terence and develop the law of the cosine. So let us not have a history of those events Avhich are the inevitable concomitants of every class, and to Avhich preceding historians have given such voluminous and exhaustive space. Rather let us make a liistory pa the days tliat are to follow Commencement. Let us make a history that Avill stand for graver and grander things than a class rush. First, Ave must be grateful to dear U. of 31. for Avhat she has given us, and stand up Avith a pride and loyalty that knoAvs no ceasing, for oui ' Alma ] Iater. She has tried to cfjui]) us for the larger, fuller school of life, but her diploma and degree do not signify that our tight is Avon. To those of us A ' ho Avere ambitious, it may be liitter to learn that AA ' e are just plain, mediocre peojjle Avithout a ray of genius, but, don ' t j ' Ou knoAV, this old Avorld has need for the medit)cre men and AA ' omen. Do aa ' c ever grow too old for Kingsley ' s lines? Be good, sweet maid, and let vhu will, be clever. Do noble things, not dream them, all day long. And so make life, death, and that vast forever. One grand, sweet song. CT know I am transgressing beyond the limits of my office to speak thus, but I ' ll exonerate myself by calling it a historian ' s license, and pass on. dWelJ. after all. tliere might have ])een a class history. Surely, each of us has clustered about our ' ' arsity life, ties and remembrances that Avill never jjerish in oblivion. But they are engraved upon mem- ory, far l)ctter than on any ])rinted i)age. and will live on. despite that they are unwritten. So with a parting word to oiu- ])rofessors. whose noble influence Avill ever make us better men and women, and with a half-suj)pressed sigh that our scliool days are bygone days, and that Ave leave tlie jjalaec of youth to reign over our heritage of manhood and womanhood, not yet certain of the stability of our throne nor of our sul)iects: the class of 19():J bids von farewell. •ssc nUMJ I E D , ;| i8
