14 president. Mr. Caldwell could be relied upon as authority on almost every doubtful point in recitation. It was really wonderful how modern and living the phraseology of Latin sounded when falling from his lips, and his oratory often ttwerged on the poeticalfl Mr. Coburn was professor of parliamentary law, but greater than this, he was our second president. When the class was first organized the need of having one of our very strongest men as president, was apparent. H. A. Brown was the Washington of the class, and much of our success is due to his regime. The modesty and consideration of H. K. Brown calls forth the admiration of the class even more than if his name could have been mentioned much earlier in this work, where the class would willingly have placed it. His logical, concise expression of thought in class always showed the relation between the metaphysical and the practical. Mr. Moody is our strong champion of the Prohibition cause. Throughout all the year he conducted himself so, and displayed such marked characteris- tics that the standard of that name is maintained high in the Class. Mr. Oareis nominating speeches should be compiled as masterpieces of Classic eloquence. He was and ever will be a loyal Classic in every sense of the word. The German department was really strengthened this year by acquiring Mr. MacLaren as assistant professor. His record may be taken as an example of what young men may do. Mr. Kanzt is the first Classic to distinguish himself by writing a successful and very useful tiManual. He performed all duties heaped upon him with true credit. Natural philosophy has an able exponent and the university a talented professor in the person of Mr. Wedeking. Although we are deeply grieved to lose Mr. Baker, Mr. Pennington and Mr. Whisenhunt, after they had established such near class associations; yet we were glad to welcome Mr. Sisson, who realized how much better it would be to graduate with this class than any other. What can I say worthy of the greatest of the Classiesea modern Cato? His modesty would have us say little, our love would say much. Our actions may not have seemed appreciative, yet our lives will live out the sweetness and nobleness of his personal influence. In years to come, when memories of him crowd others out, we shall exclaim, ;1 would that I could utter the thoughts that arise in meW As Orlando for his Love, so shall we, on our inner breasts, pin memoryts tablets expressive of admiration and reverence, a sure
