Senior Class History BHE lass of 1916 has at last approached the period in its collegiate activities when it must complete the final chapter of its history. Reviewing the accomplishments of the class briefly, we are proud to state that our inter-class activities have been marked with unusual progrcssivencss. In all of our athletic contests as underclassmen we have been the victors, the basketball game in our Sophomore year being excepted. Our annual class rushes were crowned with success. A most enjoyable banquet was held at Hotel Walton. Philadelphia, without molestation. As a class, we have endeavored to perpetuate the customs and traditions of the college and in our Junior year, in collabcration with the Seniors, established a new custom, that of requiring all Freshmen to wear red caps, thus giving them an air of individuality. In accordance with a custom which has long been established the publication of the 1916 Ruby was undertaken, the measure of success which has attended our efforts is left to the readers thereof. Scholastically, the Nineteen Sixteeners have won distinction. The class, as a whole, is composed of ambitious and conscientious students, the high calibre of their work being frequently commented upon by the professors of the college. I he members of our class have taken an active part in the religious and other organizations of the college—in short, we have endeavored to support those things which contribute to the welfare of our college. It is with a sense of pleasure that we come to the realization that our work is about completed: that we hand over the reins of leadership and responsibility to the Juniors; that we arc about to pass over the threshold of academic training to cope with the wisdom and ingenuity of the world and endeavor to continue, individually, instead of collectively, to make history by working among our fellow men for the upbuilding and advancement of humanity. On the other hand, it is with a feeling of regret that we contemplate the dissolution of the class. During our career as students at Ursinus many friendships have been formed: the peculiar parental spirit fostered by our Alma Mater has been instilled within us and we are loath to leave the place which has guided us intellectually, morally and socially. We are bound, however, to pursue the higher purposes in life for which we have been training; and. armed with the implements of learning, using as our countersign In Omnia paratus.' we will sally forth to perform those duties which may be exacted of us. 30
