1905 Class History. ¥ OUR College days are almost spent. Soon these walls will no more resound to the steady foot-falls and reverberating yells of the Class of 1905. ()ur beloved Alma Mater is almost to thrust us forth upon the stormy and tempestuous sea of life. We will no more stand, as a class, united, firm; but as isolated individuals, each pursuing his own ideal. We regret the severing of these tender ties. Our associations, as students and classmates, have been pleasant, and will long be remembered after we leave these classic halls. As a c’ass. we have ever stood for the highest ideals. We have taken an active part in all phases of college life. We have been especially noted for the high general proficiency of all our members. Each one has developed, to the best of his ability, the talents given him. We have not trained the mind alone, but have put ecpial stress on the physical and social requirements of man’s nature. During our college course, our class has led in the social life at Ursinus. while all the officers of the “Regular” society have sprung from the lineage of the class of 1905. For four years our class has formed an indispensable part of college athletics. The majority of the football teams and the 1 attery of the baseball team belong to our ranks. During our Freshman year, we won the silver class baseball trophy of the college. We have always been very proficient along literary lines as well. During the entire history of the I rsinus Weekly our class has been an active, energetic element in its success. We have also contributed much to the deeper and more subtle side of college life, bv our musical ability. We have talent varying all the way from the Dog House Chorus” to the more dignified College Glee Club. Hilt, as a class, we have made our influence more keenh felt by carrying ut strictly our motto of originality. During cur Fresluuan year we were so precocious as to hold the faculty in constant trepidation. In fact we were so active, that all signs of energy, whether good or bad. were at once attributed to the 1905 5 27
