A SENIOR HISTORY is almost an epitaph; it is both a chronicle and a benediction. It is an account of the fourth act in a drama, whose fifth is long and uncertain, and in which even the actors wait for the curtain to rise with expectant hope and anxiety. The short, happy years of college life pass rapidly away, and only at the end do we realize how great an influence has shaped our lives; how vastly our ideals and aims have changed. Our mental horizon, gradually enlarged as we climb the hill of knowledge, seems wide when compared with our narrow outlook, standing tip-toe in the valley, and yet our present point of view only shows clearer the heights beyond. To consider that the end of college life is but the beginning of real effort is the purpose of the Class of 1904. As a class our history has been uneventful ; gradual development without violent crises affords little historical material. Small in number, our class has taken active part in all forms of college life ; we have borne extra burdens because there were so few of us to labor. Seldom has a class been so scattered. The Coeds, like Gaul, divided into three parts ; the proctors policing the unruly “ preps the Reverend at “ Sclnvenksville,” and the remainder, including “Brownie,’1 sojourning in the East Wing. For this reason our history is more the record of inner changes in our individual attitude toward life and knowledge, than an account of that intangible, yet real essence, “ class spirit.” Yet, our class possesses a unity—unity of purpose to do something, to be something ; a determination to realize our motto and to be a credit to our Alma Mater and to ourselves. We have come to the parting of the ways. As we look back we realize how trivial have been our past troubles when compared with the problems of life which confront 11s, and we resolve to meet new duties with renewed effort, knowing that, We fall to rise, are battled to tight better, sleep to wake.

SENIOR CLASS POEM, A little band We put our hand To write our name, but not in sand. And by the love Of 190.J, We ever shall be proved to stand. Vet once again I take my pen In hand to write a little, when Mv thoughts go back Along the track Of college days not spent in vain. We've wandered o’er The beaten shore Of knowledge, where the waves of yore Have their pearls cast Which we at last Have found, to keep forevermore. When dark the sky. With courage high Wc shouted out our battle-cry, And side by side, What e’er betide We forward march to do or die. How soon we'll glide Upon the tide Of life's great ocean far and wide ; Rut evermore Shall 1904 Within our memories abide. 24
